Is it possible to unlock the Samsung galaxy mini through USB flashing or does anybody have any working codes perhaps? I don't have the money to unlock it at a shop! I've unlocked plenty nokias via USB but not Samsung!

It is not a app to run in Mobile... It is to run in PC. Extract it and run the .exe file.

Finally managed to pull the bml5 file out, but I've been informed that even with the code one cannot unlock the phone when the cm7 mod is installed. Is there perhaps a way to install stock rom on a partition and unlock there or even if I revert back to stock rom and back up this one will the unlock code still work (once I find it that is)?

Yes, you can go to stock and then come back to cm7... Just make a backup of your rom and then
Flash GB..
Unlock Your device...
Flash CWM recovery
Flash CM7 (new/clean install) in CWM
Wipe data amd cache...
[You can check if your sim is unlocked or not; Also doing a nandroid won't harm]
Then use advance restore and restore data and sd-ext i.e. CWM Menu>>Backup and Restore>>Advance restore>>Data and sd-ext

I saw the post for the Stock GRH78 2.3.1 and did not see one for the 2.3.2. So I figured I would save some people a little time by creating this.
Same steps apply from the Original Post and starter momohammed20: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884093
Or from the Unlockr Guide: http://theunlockr.com/2011/01/20/how-to-unroot-the-nexus-s/

Credits to all the ones who deserve it I only take the upload of this nandroid backup and thats all. I tested it only on my phone and going from that it should work.
I am in no way responsible if you brick your phone while using the files i provided.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK...
Yes this will WIPE your sdcard out so besure to back it up on your computer before doing this.
This nandroid backup was made by ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5

NANDROID ? Don't use stock recovery. Don't make nandroid backup for stock rom.
so how should i flash cwm recovery .
and which recovery is best suited for nandroid backups and comptability with all apps.
does it necessarily require me to install custom roms.

I am in same situation with a GT-S5570, it has stock rom and is rooted. I downloaded Clockwork Manager to it's SD card.
Then from stock Recovery manager I tried to install CWM from sd card. The screen got distorted and graphic looked awful.
Had to reboot and nothing got installed.
Tried Odin but it won't recognize my phone while in Downloading mode.
I want to install Cyanogenmod 10.1 Android 4.2........any ideas? I guess I need somekind of backup first, if I mess up and need to reinstall stock? Hard to do with stock recovery mode though.

Apps can always be reinstalled in no time I think, problem is I can't install CWM from stock recovery, when selecting update from sd/zip or whatever it says, I pick the CWM file on my SD-card.
Then the graphic gets messed up and I can no longer see the menu clear.

before you flash cwm make sure its in the root directory of your sdcard... . So to say sd root is to say the topmost folder on the sdcard, which is just on the sd and not in a folder.
without getting odin recognize your Mobile you should not flash anything as if you get in any trouble it would be easy for you to flash the stock rom
and best and safest method to flash cwmr is to flash it through odin
you cannot backup stock rom with cwm recovery only custom one's can be backed up
to backup apps and data you should use titanium backup

Use an USB adapter and do a back up form your sd to your pc, you can use apps as titanium backup to backup your data/apps or you can do it manually using whatever browser you want that allow you to manage system partition....
To create a swap patition you will need to use gparted, minipartition tools or do it via recovery in order to get a swap partition or simply using swapper app from Google Play and avoiding create partitions and obviusly a kernel that support it (BE, CF-ROOT e.g.)

It could do a full backup from your currently rom!! With ALL your data/system/cache/boot etc partitions and you could restore it whenever you want!! so it's a amazing tool

So I've had a nexus one for a while now, and recently I decided to root it. I managed to unlock my bootloader and flash clock work recovery. I then made a stupid mistake of trying to flash a rom before rooting my phone or backing up my rom. When I power on my phone now it just freezes on the boot animation. The only thing I can do is access recovery. What is the easiest way to root my nexus one in this condition or is there anyway of flashing a rom, hence fixing it? Preferably from a Mac but I may be able to get access to windows or linux. Thanks in advance

Turn off your phone, pop your SD card in your comp and copy the su.zip into it. Pop it back into your phone, boot into recovery and flash it on. Voila, root access!
Then wipe cache, dalvik-cache and all those and reflash the ROM again. You should be good to go.
BTW. I hope you are flashing a ROM which needs a stock HBOOT. Coz for JB ROMs, custom HBOOT is needed. Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the help! Do you know of any JB or ICS roms that do not require a special HBOOT? And where is the download for the su.zip you mentioned? Thanks a lot
All newer ROMs have a larger system partition requirement, why not flash an older gingerbread ROM that doesn't require black rose until you get the hang of flashing.
You don't need to flash superuser or busy box or anything first, just wipe all in recovery, flash ROM (plus anything else needed like gapps) reboot

@demkantor is right. Basically you don't need su.zip coz most ROMs will have that flashed in already. I think the problem you were facing was because you did not wipe your cache/dalvik-cache and data before flashing on the ROM.
i had a rooted galaxy ace gt_s5830 running gingerbread on which i tried to flash (several) cwm roms. obviously, this didn't work. (the first one was for the gt s5830i, and i don't remember why the others failed)
i did do a cwm backup beforehand and performed a recovery that listed as successful.
so when i select restore to that recovery i would assume that the phone would reboot and return it to it's previous state, but the phone just reboots to the same android recovery screen.
is there a problem or am i not doing something correctly?
thanx for any assitance, ed

i rooted my device over 1 year ago so i could add more apps on the sd card. i kept using the stock gingerbread rom furnished by samsung (2.3.6)
the root.zip file contains superuser.apk and busybox....
i installed the CWMAce.zip (see attached file) on my sd card, performed a backup which is also on the sd card
( screenshot of the CWM backup that i made)
i presume that i made the backup, and then "wiped data/factory reset" after the backup was listed as successful. i did not wipe delvik cache. then tried to install a custom rom that was listed for gt s5830 but failed in "android recovery window" because it was for gt s5830i. i have since downloaded other custom roms none of which have worked either.
i have now added Concept-L-1.0.Cooper.zip (Dev-Host, 102 MB) to my sd card from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-ace/s5830-develop/gb-2-3-6-concept-l-rom-andoid-l-gt-s5830-t2807829
would you please explain the correct way to attempt to install? thanx

there are a few roms to give you an L flavour, and also 1 for Marshmallow look-alike experience.
look in "rom dev" threads.
Use PC and adb
try adb reboot in command prompt
