You can use a T-Mobile SIM in the N700, but you will, only get EDGE speeds. I have T-Mobile and my SIM worked but I so frustrated with EDGE that I bought a Red Pocket SIM for the times I wasn't around WiFi...

I really understand you would want it seeing as no other comes even close, but blame idiotic us carriers for each having their own ****ty standard. I'm glad Europe has more sense.

It most certainly does work on T-Mobile...but you are only capable of speeds no greater than 150-200kbps...at best. So 3-4 times the speed of dial-up = slow, slow, slow...
I am not having a go, but don't you think it might be better to pout the actual question in the title? I make a point of ignoring threads without an indication of the actual subject. I am sure I am not alone.
Before a smart alec asks why I opened this one, it was to make this statement!
Is there a way to unlock my cappy that isn't going to cost me? I don't have a computer and I tried vibrant unlock and it didn't work. I dropped my note 2 and the screen is FUBAR. So I was going to use my cappy until I get the 175 together to submit a claim on the phone insurance with T-Mobile. I have a good sim to use just can't find my unlock code.

You still have to pay for the unlock code. I cannot afford it as of now with having to save to pay for a new note 2. Also not available from the play store in my country so it says.

If you read the "download" section in the linked OP again it might clear it up for you.......The nv data thing is normal. Just do what it says.....backup efs (then it can read nv) then unlock twice. Once for partial unlock twice to fully unlock.
Once it is unlocked and your thinking, wow this was actually really easy, consider a donation to the author for making it so.....even if it isn't until after that note2 is paid for

If you cannot access it from the Play Store would you like me to upload the apk for you to just download and install that way? You shouldn't have to pay to unlock your device, at least with all the options on the captivate. Another user requested the same check his thread in the General section, m1batt1 also posted another, longer but still effective, way to unlock if the app doesn't work.

So it worked. I am now using my cappy in T-Mobile. Thanks for that. My note 2 uses a micro sim and the cappy takes a regular sim. I used my old straight talk that's no good anymore because I ported my number for it over to T-Mobile and cut out a guide for the micro sim. Is there a better way or is that about it?

Nope, this is a common misconception, and one the mobile phone companies (unsurprisingly) aren't keen to dispel. The confusion arises because unlocking and unblocking are often mixed up, yet mean different things.
Unlocking is totally legal. It just means making the phone work with any Sim card.
Unblocking is illegal. This is the practice of making a phone work again after it's been blocked by the networks, usually as a result of its being reported lost or stolen. Unsurprisingly, It is thoroughly illegal and should not be attempted.
If you are in a contract and got the phone from them at a discount with it then maybe....But then why would you be unlocking it.

hmm people still sell these "illegal"? codes, and what if you bought your phone used off ebay for example. There goes any resale value and in turn less interest in a contract phone.
If your concerned about it, you should lock your phone, what else can I say.:good:
Unnecessary. I also found out that there are at least 3 bills in congress to address that specifically. They also cannot tell when it was done. Nor do they much care.

No. And at least you asked. It's much easier to answer a yes or no question then to try to lead someone back after they messed up their phone.
Check out the Verizon One Development section.
Though I haven't looked in a while, so I don't know how much development is being done with locked bootloaders and what-not.
Good luck.

There was actually an exploit that came out today for the verizon one that does s off, roots and unlocks the boot loader so I was looking around for roms and there are some good ones for the verizon one but there are definitely more here. I'm guessing verizon one development will pick up though.
Now that you have an exploit it should. Many of these Roms will probably be ported over.

It's probably either a scam that MAY work for some devices with similar exploits or actually works similarly to the way OEM's would flash a device. Not sure about everyone else, but I'm definitely leaning more towards the first option seeing as no one has root yet...
Definitely bs!!! If root had been achieved for our device you would read about it on every forum and every tech website example being android authority and def xda!!

I think it does not work that way. We must have the box or dongle to run the software, you may have a payment system for unlocking attempts.
Is a slot machine to unlock.
I do not like dongles.
Who knows it may work? But the device itself costs $115-$135. So who's going to be the guinea pig?

Last time I checked, I was a computer networker and run anti-virus, anti-malware,anti-spyware, and anti-adware. I know quite a bit about computers man but it may be worth a try with the dongle. I'm sure my system would automatically tell me if any of those were present. Just saying. Why would we be here on a developers site if we didn't know what a virus is?

Seems a little risky though, it says "Root by flash" whereas that could mean what I believe was done on an older version of the S4's firmware, where a temporary recovery was flashed in order to root. For the S5 and newer S4 firmware on AT&T and VZN, this would be impossible with the lockdown.
The software will only work with the dongle. It's not flashable to the phone itself.

Hello,
I am just wondering, where is the latest news on the progress of our bootloader being unlocked? Or atleast where can I get any kind of info on how to do it? Cause I'll be dead honest, I turned on my galaxy S3 and missed the CM experience. I just want to get this thing unlocked so I can enjoy our phone, instead of being OK with what ATT gives us, cause its kinda dumb.
thanks for any information at all, cause I'd honestly dedicate my phone to the effort.

there will never be unlocked by at&t, this company is closed by capitalist political protection of the operator's own functions.
well I sold the phone, it is unfortunate, it is a good phone, it's amazing the difference g900a g900f with the operating system.
The g900f has everything unlocked functions representing the galaxy s5.
I recommend that you do not fall into the scam at&t.
I hate to be pessimistic, but with the arrival of "android 5" I doubt that at&t update these terminals, is a company that has a reputation of leaving obsolete phones.
I would easily pay 25-50 dollars for an unlock tool (like Sunshine for HTC/Motorola devices) for the G900A. While I do appreciate Safestrap and all its glory, I really, really, want stock android L on our device. Because somewhere...... a Samsung engineer is looking at L thinking "how can we screw this one up..."
All I'm saying is this, I'm not too savy with hacking or low level coding; but I hope that if Samsung does push out Android L and that there is some sort of exploit or bug that will allow us to root/unlock the boot loader since it would be a fairly new os compared to that of ICS/KK.

Be careful what you wish for...
"L" has a whole new set of challenges....
Init commands are no more...
So our traditional root and superuser mechanisms are gone...
Google did this on purpose in the name of security..
So not only are the carriers locking us out..but Google is turning into the new apple....
So much for open source and freedom to create....g

What you're describing is basically breaking an encryption, which is out of the realm of possibility. It would be far easier (and has still not happened yet) to literally steal the keys from Samsung. I believe previous bootloaders have been unlocked this way. If a lock is unpickable, then I'll just steal the key from the guy who has it right?

That's not going to ever happen. The bootloader is locked down to prevent that. You need to unlock our bootloader before you could ever switch them.

I love my S5 rooted running a killer Rom beautifully themed with great battery life and debloated. I've had a Galaxy S series since the S2. My S3 was a decent phone but this S5 is a beast.
