So i am thinking of upgrading my i9000 to a galaxy nexus. I have installed custom roms on my galaxy s 967474656 times.. But i purchased it unlocked, I just need to know the procedure to unlocking this.. Is it simply rooting the phone that does it? or what?
I'm going to get it off my dad, whos going on a telstra plan, I assume its going to be locked to telstra, but I want to use it with my optus sim,
Anyone help?
What do you mean by unlocked?
Bootloader unlock or carrier unlock?
Both of those can be answered by doing a XDA search. Bootloader unlock is relatively simple.
Carrier unlock: mainly all unlocked unless you're getting docomo version.
I mean carrier unlocked
why not call and ask if they're locked. I don't think they are.
I picked up one for $460 brand new in a sealed box off eBay and its completely unlocked which I use on Telstra

Hello,
Are there any method that we can unlock the GT-N7100 by ourself, or software like the international toolkit that can unlock the Galaxy S3.
Can anyone help me please~
Thank You...
The N7100 is unlocked from the factory...

Most phones bought on contract here in the UK are normally locked to that network. There is the option of getting the network to unlock the phone at a small charge if required.
Would be nice to know if there was a way of doing this yourself to save the cost...
Here is the link to the Sammobile unlock thread http://www.sammobile.com/unlock/index.php?phone=N7100, it seems the N7100 is allready listed. Unlocking costs 15 euro`s and seems to work good. haven`t used it myself though. But it is a reputable site i guess.
If I buy this unlocked off of Amazon, can I use on Sprint LTE network?

No. It's unlocked to GSM networks.

I don't know about those with their Galaxy Note II's who want to pay way too much for an unlock, but I personally chose the Google Playstore option:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwyLDEsImNvbS5zcG9ja3kuZ2FsYXhzaW11bmxvY2siXQ..
Just install the app, open it, it will tell you your phone is network locked (which you already know, anyways). If you press unlock, it tells you to pay for the Pro version which costs 2euro (in my case), so I paid, after that let the app run for a 1-2 seconds or so and...phone UNLOCKED!
Rebooted the phone with another simcard (my was originally locked to irish Vodafone), which was O2 and it works alright.
GalaxSim Unlock from Spocky is the way to go!

Hello folks,
My uncle brings me a t-mobile Galaxy S3 t999 with android 4.3 (t999uvuenc2) phone from USA to Iran. BUT as you guess its locked to t-mobile sims. So the question is, how to unlock it to use sim cards available in iran?
I've already tried some methods, like *#197328640# and no success gained!
What is the easiest and cheapest way to unlock it?
Can anyone share his knowledge with me or point to the tutorial if available? Thanks...
Wrong forum, this is for the i9300 only. Report your own post and ask a moderator to move it for you.

Youll probably have to buy an unlock code online.

I want to pre-order samsung galaxy s9 and s9 plus for me and for my son. the both phones will be from t-mobile and I have a question. can I unlock them the same day for at&t ? we have a great at&t plan with cheap family calls so I want to use at&t instead t-mobile. I heard that some newest models are hard locked so want to make sure before ordering. thanks

It depends on the plan you get from T-Mobile. There is are two things you need to do before trying to unlock it. Once you get your phone check the following:
1. Check your T-Mobile folders if there is the Device Unlock App installed (by default it should be installed on your phone).
2. Check your phone's IMEI in the T-Mobile database by using their service here: https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx
If your phones have the app and are not blocked it means that they are eligible, so you should be able to unlock them and even use a service like here: https://www.unlockunit.com/unlock-samsung-galaxy-s9-062472
hi, what is the difference between SM-G9650, SM-G965S, SM-G965K, SM-G965L, SM-G9658, SM-G9659, SM-G965U, SM-G965W, SM-G965P, SM-G965T, SM-G965V, SM-G965A, SM-G9600, SM-G960S, SM-G960K, SM-G960L, SM-G9608, SM-G9609, SM-G960U, SM-G960W, SM-G960P, SM-G960T, SM-G960V, SM-G960A, SM-G965F, SM-G960F, SM-G965FD, SM-G960FD, SM-G965N, SM-G960N, SM-G960R, SM-G960R4, SM-G960R6, SM-G960R7, SM-G960T1, SM-G960W8, SM-G965AZ, SM-G965D, SM-G965J, SM-G965L, SM-G965K, SM-G965W8 for sim unlocking ? which one is easier to unlock?
As a policy, the device can be unlocked with the T-Mobile Device Unlock app 40 days after you activate the device for the first time and if the device is paid in full. To activate the device, the SIM card must be inserted into the phone and be active in the device for 72 hours for it to register in T-Mobile's system.
If the device is not paid in full or if you do not want to wait the full 40 days, you can pay for the device to be unlocked remotely through Android SIM Unlock or similar websites. http://www.androidsimunlock.com/phone-unlocking-service/tmobile-device-unlock-app-official-unlock/
Just make sure you're choosing the Device Unlock service since a standard SIM unlock service will not work since you are not able to insert a SIM unlock code into the phone.

Same.
What is the proper procedure to unlock an att s9 to use with another carrier?
The process is basically the same as any other smartphone. Buy an unlock code (this should work for you http://www.androidsimunlock.com/unlock-phone/samsung/galaxy-s9/), insert a SIM card from another service provider, this will prompt the SIM unlock screen, enter the code your purchased and the phone will be unlocked.
wait for few days. some developer will develop customer rome for samsung galaxy s9 then root your mobile and flash it and you mobile will be unlocked. s8 custom rom are available.
SamKey.Info supported directly unlock via usb cable !

Don't waste money on this website it's a scam i tried and my phone is still sim locked
T-Mobile S9+
So I purchased this phone from T-Mobile, and tried to switch to sprint. I had it unlocked but they still couldn't pry the phone. It seemed to have only unlocked it to AT&T. Has anyone else home through this or know how to fix this issue?
You can get any S9 or S9+ variant unlocked through Ebay including Sprint:
https://m.ebay.com/itm/SPRINT-SAMSU...?_trksid=p3984.m1561.l2649&_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1
Also can do Bad IMEI devices also. Look through items for other carriers. 100%guarantee.

Be very careful that it has a clean IMEI. If it's a stolen phone then you have a nice expensive paperweight.
You really want someone to do a search for you?

If your buy your Samsung galaxy S9 or S9 plus from t-mobile and want to use at&t after unlocking, then you have to use the t-mobile device unlock app to unlock your phone. This is the only option to unlock your t-mobile Samsung S9 or S9+. Only phones purchased from other than t-mobile or metropcs usa can be unlocked using unlock code.
You need open the t-mobile device unlock app and select the permanent unlock option to proceed. you will get unlock successful message and it is unlocked. if you are getting the message "Unlock Failed: This mobile wireless device is not eligible for unlock. For Device Unlock eligibility details, please go online or contact Customer Care." then you have to submit your request for unlocking to any third party unlocking service.
You can can use the below links to submit your request to unlock your Samsung galaxy S9 or S9+ through t-mobile device unlock app
unlock samsung galaxy s9
unlock samsung galaxu s9+
https://www.samsungsimunlock.com/sam...y-s9.htm#model service didn't work for t-mobile.. got the successful unlock message but didn't work with at&t sim.. waste of $13

Doubt that you will get very far with a Blacklisted IMEI...
Do you know why it's Blacklisted?
