Hello,
I gave my girlfriend my phone running Slim Bean 4.1.2 ROM on my captivate for her trip throughout Europe. I assumed it was unlocked and would work with any GSM carrier in Europe if she bought a SIM card and popped it in. Well, I was wrong and it didn't work and now I'm in a pickle. Can someone please give me an easy solution to unlock the phone!!!!!!! She has to be able to figure it out with me explaining it to her. I was thinking a zip file she could flash in CWM, but anything easy would be most definitely great.
Sincerely, SP
GalaxSim Unlock app by Spocky from the Play Store. The ability to do the unlock isn't free but should do the job on the Rom she has on her phone now.
The other unlock app by helroz, u would have to flash back to Stock first then unlock...i think.

Thank you sir. This is exactly what I'm looking for. She's asleep atm, but when she wakes up she'll give it a go.
This may sound stupid. Can you get the unlock code from ATT? After 1 year they are supposed to provide this 4 free?

I bought my phone used on eBay some years ago. First, I used o2 wireless then Straight Talk. Not sure how to go about it. Her phone still doesn't work. I should mention she's has a Vodaphone and an Alditalk sim card.

I am thinking of free unlock methods , since its hardware is nearly exactly same as the Galaxy S2 which can be unlocked free from the market.
Why not just ROM from SIM free EU Note using Odin?
I've done it few times over the weekend to restore the phone, it should remove all the carrier crap inc SIM lock.

i am asking the same question.I have locked note but I need juste one who did it using this app.
Anyone test this app?
how can you tell if you have a locked Note besides using a different carrier SIM?
No success with KJ1

SG Note unlocked from leaving factory in the UK.
As for flashing a rom to remove carrier crap, thats just debranding, flashing a rom or kernel does not affect its network lock status, that is a completely different thing to flashing.
cellunlocker is one of the cheapes and most effective ways, and is guaranteed 100% or your money back.

Hi Ive been doing a ton of research on unlocking the thrill, seems like the only way is to buy an unlock code? Are there any other methods available yet?

Unfortunately att has a policy for unlocking their phones. If you give them a call they can give you the details. Other than that though you're gonna have to pay.

Att should unlock it, since they are not the exclusive carrier, that's what I was told when I called about the Pantech crossover, its exclusive and can't be until December.

You can also unlock your phone by rooting and flashing the cwm recovery

This, and carrier unlocking are two different things. Carrier unlocking requires a code.

Yea while the Thrill may have a couple Identical Twin sister phones out there, ATT is going to say they have exclusive rights the P925 Thrill 4G all day.

Not exactly when you install CWM you can do a G-Free and a Radio OFF to unlock the radio baseband so whenever you flash a rom some of them run this commands

For my last phone a tmo G2 I did the gfree method for my new phone the LG Thrill I just flashed several ROMS (thriller, seek, some optimus 3d roms) and I don't remember in which one the phone actually got unlocked. think it was in one I did with the KDZ flash
Hi guys,
I have a question about bootloader unlocking. I know it doesn't unlock the carrier, so I've contacted Three UK and they're obtaining a code for my Xperia X8 that I bought on PAYG which will be £15.34 and can take up to 2 weeks.
My question is that if I go ahead and unlock the bootloader so that I can put newer kernels in (and therefore newer ROMs), will it remove the unlock code they gave me in any form, or will my phone always stay unlocked?
Also, if it goes back to locked, can I use that same code from Three and just unlock it again?
Thanks guys.
Also, I assume if anything goes wrong I can use the Pc Companion to practically wipe back to manufacturers kernel/rom/BL/settings?
You guys can't keep posting the Same question.
Anyway, your phone will get locked original network

I believe if you use code to unlock SIM you' ll have phone same as one that was never locked. And none of your actions should lock it again.
It would be nice if somebody experienced confirm this, though.

I didn't intend to ask the same question again. I did use the search so I apologise if it's already been asked but I'd love a definitive answer.
My guess is that either way, my IMEI will stay the same of course so in theory the same code could be used numerous times on the phone regardless. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I think I understand from your post that after unlocking BL it'll revert to original carrier lock? Same code or?

Hi,
I'm from Chile and I've been in France for the last year and I bought a Note here with Orange (carrier).
I'm leaving again to my country and obviusly I would like to keep using my Note and using any carrier.
Looking around i got a little confused and I have some questions.
- Is unloking the simcard (i found some apps to do that) the same to unlocking the phone to use any carrier sim card?
- If not, what does unlock the simcard means? and there is a way (app or method) to do the second?
- If yes, a good app to do it? is GalaxySim Unlock a good one?

I am going to aboard for 2 month and wanna using my phone. I wonder how to unlock the phone and use it outside U.S.
You can try to call AT&T to see if they will give you the unlock code. (unlikely)
I assume you are on post MI9 firmware. If so, Chainfire's region unlock will not work for you.
cellunlocker.net is a site you can go to to get it unlocked, you have to pay, but they are very reputable.

I always use unlockcode247.com (aka Myhoian on eBay), best unlocking site I know you get the code in a couple of hours. You also have to revert back to stock ROM to enter the code even in you get the code from ATT.

I didn't have to revert back to stock to use my unlock code. just put in non att sim and rebooted then entered the code.
