How about writing your problem. Seriously, if you don't want to put effort describing your problem, nobody will make the effort helping you.

I don't have problem, I just want to unlock my phone but I don't know how to do it. Of course, I can write a short novel about this but I prefer short and straight questions
So, again: how can I unlock my Galaxy W?

Alright, I think you did not get my point. What do you mean by unlocking ? You mean the SIM/NET-Lock or do you mean you want to get root access or you mean you don't know how to unlock your lockscreen or you forgot your password of the lockscreen ...?
Got my point ?

Oh, I see, you're right I mean SIM/network unlocking.
There is a solution for the SGS2 and SGS. It should work similiar for the SGW, but you will have to get this done by your own. Maybe ask the thread-starter whether this will work on the SGW. Are you sure you have SIM-Lock Net-Lock ?
Check Status like this:
Open the your dialer app and type
Code:
*#7465625#
Source:FAQ-Thread
You will have to get root anyway: LINK
greets and good luck

P.S.: report if you succeed

I think you will only be able to use one networkprovider, like vodafone etc.
You have to test it.

Yeah, it means you are just Network locked to your SIM Card provider, which you get with the phone when you buy, if it is not SIM-free. This is prob not the Network you want if you need SIM unlock!!!
so this is easy for the unlock service, just a simple code, which you log into their server to get, and input your IMEI, this is a secure server.....
this is with the unlock service I linked in my OP here.
you will be sent an unlock code to enter when you have a "foreign" network SIM inserted...this will be your SIM which you wish to use!!!!
I have this now, I had what you have before, I show you, a picture says a 1000 words:

Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock code finder will find the SIM unlock code for your device, or the unfreeze code. It'll take a few minutes to run, but you should end up with the code to SIM unlock your device. If the code doesn't work, don't keep trying it !. You may end up with a freeze. In that case, the program can also find the unfreeze code, but if the SIM unlock code is wrong in the first place, maybe so is the unfreeze code
Based on Odia's work here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064978
Thanks / Donate
Press the thanks button, and/or donate (or not) to Odia and/or myself
Also, please rate it 5 stars in Market if it works for you... I think some people who sell unlockers are purposely 1 starring it (seeing as nobody has reported any problems)

!!! IMPORTANT NOTE: On some newer SGS2 devices, it does not work at all. You can try "Galaxy_S Unlock" app from "Helroz", but beware, it's unlock method is much more dangerous !!!
THIS IS ONLY FOR NON-US RESIDENTS, SORRY. YOUR LAWS HAVE GONE BACKWARDS, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SIM UNLOCK NO MORE
Nice. Good job.
Thank u so much... Keep up your great work, Chainfire
Downloaded and ran on my unlocked device and it came up with 00000000.
I am running to find the unfreexe code too, though not really sure how it works? Should I expect a valid code?
There is no SIM unlock code because there is no SIM lock ? Not sure about the unfreeze code, but I doubt it'll come up with one.
Nicely done.
You are truly a productive person.

Thanks.
I thought a SIM unlock code was realted to the device, not to the device and the *current state of the SIM lock* (ie, it must be locked to display an unlock code!)
It came up with an 8 digit number starting 9242
Is it actually a useful number if you have no sim lock?
James
I don't think so
Hi Chainfire, just poped into your thread to say, APP appears to be working fine.
As a note for everyone, even on a factory unlocked model the unfreeze code should still be present.

But what is it actually useful for ?
This is crazy.
Requested my unlock code from o2 over a week ago. They contacted me on Saturday to say they do not have it and that they will have to resubmit the unlock code request to Samsung.
I still do not have an unlock code after 2 weeks of owning the phone.
Literally 5 minutes after seeing the xda tweet about this thread my phone is now unlocked.
Crazy, absolutely crazy that the community can do in 5 minutes what the corporate world can't achieve in 2 weeks.
I am blown away, many many thanks to the op, this is outstanding
O2 were no use at all for this. Chainfire's app sorted the issue in minutes. Great work. Thanks.
I already unlocked mine using Odia's method but this looks way easier.. Good Job man..
Let me act stupit and ask. What this do? What is it usefull for?
I have myself 5 virgin sim cards from tmobile.
Thanks for any explanatios

Normally in Samsung phones if you enter a phone lock code (PLK) and you forget the code, the master code can be used to reset it, I am not sure if Samsung Android phones would work in the same way because the PLK does not seem to be written to nv_data.bin when activated.

Its a lot easier for the less experienced users and Chainfire has done a very good job with the APK, although using the manual method with a GFX card to brute force the hash is a lot quicker
I need help - got my S2 from O2 which it's locked to. After nine days, still no unlock code from O2, apparently delays in obtaining them.
Downloaded and ran this app, but failed with 'Could not acquire Supersuer access! Is your device rooted?'
What does this mean and what do I need to do to resolve it?
Thanks in advance.

The message "Could not acquire Supersuer access! Is your device rooted" actually told you what is wrong. Guess you did not root your S2. Follow the link to get your S2 rooted.

I have installed this and got my Unfreeze Code, however the Unlock code is just comes up as 0000000000.
It also take much less than a second to generate it, so I assume there's a problem?
The Unfreeze code took a few minutes and produced an actual code ... have I missed something?

Mate, first of all, Welcome to our forum, please, take time to read the rules.
About your problem, long story to short, install an app called "more locate 2" or "locate select" and have fun.
If its do not solve your problem, come back.

Hi.. Thank you for your response and for the welcome.
That was the first choice, in fact I have it installed but do not put it completely in Spanish, Spanglish hehehehe ... not being in native Spanish I have problems with google now recognizes only a few things.
is possible to put a firmware to bring Spanish language?.
My phone is rooted, maybe you can get directly the language folder of another version of 975 that has english and put it in mine.

Does this mean it is un-rootable?
Goddam but Virgin fones are a pissoff.
Should I return this phone?
Or is there any possibility of a way to fix this?
I learnt the same lesson. It's sad that carriers can restrict what we do with our phones here in north America while if you buy this same phone anywhere else in the world, it's rootable.
I've had mine a few months now and still no way of rooting.

ok, so the idea is that I flash the combination file, go in to dev. settings and set OEM unlock, then reflash the phone with normal firmware, and carry on with rooting as normal? will this allow me to install twrp?

no , when you enabled dev settings, enable OEM unlock , then reboot to bootloader and unlock it , then u can root with magisk by patching the AP of the firmware you need

BK,
Ok, I'm sure you're going to think I'm a retard, but I wanna be sure I understand correctly.
So i:
1)flash combination file
2) Boot phone up
3) enable developer settings
4) enter developer settings, and enable OEM unlock.
5) Ok, here is where I'm a little unsure of what you mean:
"Reboot to bootloader and unlock it"
6) root with magisk.
The number 5 slot (above) is what I am having trouble with....
And then I use my pc to root the AP of the proper firmware before I flash it with Odin on to the phone?
Wait..I'm getting that part wrong too, I think.... shoot
Oh gosh. I'm screwing this up. Please advise here too...
And will TWRP be possible afterwards?
Excuse my asking about what I'm sure is obvious....
I have rooted and enjoyed the results on several LG phones and my old tab4, and I would enjoy the same freedom with this phone, as I quite like it.
Thank you again for being willing to advise.
Regards

Wow.. I got the same error, EXCEPT instead of (pit) I have (abl).
I mucked around for a bit with a cracked z3x for a bit, but it was an older version, and didnt have A705W listed.
I'm still game to try, but thought I'd see if somebody here had any advice....
Please help, if anyone can.

I am kinda in the same position as you...
I've been wanting to root for a while but this oem unlock thing with my Virgin a705w is annoying
I don't really want to risk bricking my phone or whatever so I was hoping someone could do it first.
I found this website with pit files if they're any use: full-repair-firmware .com/p/galaxy-a70-sm-a705xx.html
(remove the space before the .com; I can't post links on xda)
pls let me know if you can get it working

Hey BK.
Thank you very much for your input!
I've only rooted my LG phones previously..
Samsung has a few more twists it seems!
I thought it might be worth asking you if you had any info on that error I mentioned below, the "please get approval to use factory binaries (abl) or (pit)" problem?
I've seen some stuff, applicable to the error ending in (pit), but have not seen anything referring to the (abl) version of the error, which is what I am experiencing....
Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated....and by more than just me, I'm sure!
Thank you again

Hey BK.
Thank you very much for your input!
I've only rooted my LG phones previously..
Samsung has a few more twists it seems!

you need this exact firmware A705WVLU2ASK1 , it can be found on GSM2FILE easily or others websites
Thanks to @ciozvarda for pointing out this easy method to get the latest firmware.

I'm from Portugal and did not get this update
It was launched for US and South Korea if I am not wrong. But I would like to install it if someone uploads the zip file.
Same here, would love to get this file, because my ota update does not work.
No update in Sweden yet...

Great tutorial, but as I understand it after updating it will not be possible to return to the previous CSC, in my case ZTO, losing important functions like Samsung Pay.
I am not an expert so I can not answer that question. But maybe after the update follow the tutorial again and change back to your csc? I don't know if it will work...

The problem is that to go back to the previous CSC it will be necessary to downgrade again to change, so this will bring you back to ROM 4.0.0.7 when looking for an update

Excellent! I'll probably try this..
I wonder if our fellow @adfree has any consideration regarding to save the downloaded cache firmware in order to be used for others. Or any clue if other CSC will be released anytime soon.
Oh. Just one thing.
I could not connect to the watch to use the sdb command. After searching online a little I found that the following settings should be in place before "sdb connect ....."
Bluetooth: Off, Wifi: On, Debugging: On, Developer Mode: On. Then restart watch.
I had bluetooth on and it didn't connect.

Hi all.. this is my tutorial
Ill add the turning bluetooth off thing right now ..
Yes you can redo this tutorial to re-change CSC as much as you want .. i havent heard Samsung changed anything to prevent us flashing signed firmware .

Hi guys , follow my tutorial to change CSC region to XAR (usa) .. you will receive the update OTA and samsung pay of you dont already have it .

Ill answer any question..
@andrew.mackew
To catch the Delta files aka FOTA inkremental crap... is no Rocket Science...
But few problems...
A
To start FOTA update routine from Watch you need Root...
B
No idea why...
I did this way few times with GWA2... SM-R820 successfully...
But failed with my SM-R500...
C
Dump from device is not easy... AND require tooo much time and Energy to do this for every Firmware...
D
To find way to start from Phone the FOTA process...
Would be coooooool...
Old experiments successfully years ago... with ROOTed Phone...
E
No checked...
Chance for Leak increase if more CSC released...
SM-R500 also only KOO and XAR...
So wait is safe...
Best Regards

Any first impressions? How is the overall speed and battery life?
No bugs until now. Battery seems to be a little better. 20% left and it says 14 hours. Overall speed very good.
A good update.
