Use superoneclick. Root the phone and then unlock it.
i dont need to have any simcard in the phone to use superoneclick? or to root even

Try this
#7465625*638*Unlock code#
i used BWolf56's advice and superoneclick (by CLShortFuse) rooted my captivate but didnt unlock it because i had already updated from eclair to froyo. I tried to hex edit using NovaChief's instructions on the thread

-(thread Posted by manojsuper) but this method was way over my head (im a noob.)
I used helroz's unlock without code program(galaxy_s unlock) and it worked with wifi connection without a sim. after unlocking i went to my phone dialer and pressed *#7465625# and it said unlocked. then i put my chinese sim in and it worked like magic.
i feel your pain. stick with it and you will get it done.
maybe my experience will be of some help. you can read my thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062078
dont forget to thanks the guys and donate to the developers of the programs.
also i think you need busybox and wifi connection to use helroz's program which is fricken awesome. and BWolf56, thanks again.
u dont need an AT&T sim...even i opened my captivate here in India (no AT&T)...i booted it up...rooted it...used one click root and one click unlock...it gave me the code...as simple as that!
where did you get one click root and one click unlock? ive tried the super one click and it said pass word blocked

There's an app on the market called "Galaxy_S Unlock". It works without a SIM. I just used it on the refurb I got last night. It's a 1012 build, that came with UCKB2. Worked like a champ. I put an old T-Mobile SIM card in it to test it and it picked up a signal and showed T-Mobile in the notification area.

no problem Out of interest , which method did you use?
I used both of them, and i got same unlock pin code in either case. I think that second one (one with pushing .sh file) is a little bit easier to read. Greetings, and thank you once again.

I used both methods also and got same code. now if there was a way to unlock the device once and not have to unlock everytime a sim is changed that would be awesome.

Solar... one you input a simunlock code it should permanently enable any sim to be used?
That tested on mine, i have 4 different sims with other providers and they all worked and after seeing this they still do

I tried to follow the instructions however I never got the unlock code or I am just being dumb when I use method 2 my results are identical to your 2nd screenshot,
there is no 3rd line of text?
Using the first option what I see is very similar to your first screenshot with Vodafone instead of O2. But again no code that I can see.
I have tried inserting simcards from t-mobile and O2 however I never get asked to enter a code. Not that I have a code to enter, I wish I could work out where I am going wrong.

IF you dont get asked for a code to put in when putting in other sim cards , should be unlocked... where did you get it from?

The phone is a friends who got it from someone it was on vodafone rru and had the branding on startup and shut down, before I rooted it and put on CWM and Nameless Rom, but when I try my t-mobile sim card it doesn't get a signal for when, unfortunately I do not know if this was an issue as it wasn't supplied to me with a sim card.
I will contact my friend and see if he can supply me his sim card so I can test it. Hopefully as you say it is unlocked. Not sure when i will get the sim card to be able to test it though.

hmmm when you say doesnt get signal.... i wonder if its because its a vodafone branded desire C... it will have everything for Voda hard wired in the device... and wont have any t-mo APNs etc. TMo arent exactly friendly when it comes to APN info unlike other providors like O2 & Voda
I wonder if that is the issue is that no data APNs are selected....

If you want to get your unlock code, you need to flash a Custom Rom, NAmeless For Example.
Once thats been done, you can install busybox and follow the instructions and you get your code.
i managed to succesfully unlock my Desire C
its a stock phone, bought it from Asda UK - on T-Mobile network
although it doesent have any t-mobile branding or carrier apps or boot up logo like most phones have
after unlocking my bootloader and using r1-superuser Root, it went very smooth
but one thing i did notice that seems odd, my IMEI is different in the command shell
to what is displayed in the phone
xxxxxxxxx584298 - displayed from phone
xxxxxxxxx5842901 - displayed on the command shell

how many digits does the IMEI show overall in the cmd shell?
So, basically, I got a new pay-as-you-go SIM and I don't want to buy a new phone for it. I was looking for methods to unlock my current galaxy ace, it's rooted and I have a custom ROM on it- The Ultimatum by The "A" Factor. I got my unlock codes and put the SIM in expecting to get a screen saying phone is locked, please put in unlock code or something similar that usually happens. However nothing came up but when the phone finished booting, I had no service and can't use it for calls or anything which suggests that the phone is still locked, I tried using the *#7465525# service code, but I got an error saying no service or incorrect MUDI code or something like that. Is it possible that flashing a new ROM wiped the unlocking procedures and is there anyway for me to know if my phone is unlocked and if not, can I still unlock it?

Didn't show you nothing to introduce the code?¿
... try introducing another SIM from other carrier... when you boot then automatically should ask you to introduce the unlock code
If it doesn't work you could phone to the device's carrier, the carrier must help you if you finished your contract

I do have another SIM from another carrier, but the screen isn't showing up, I've been scouring the internet and found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335548 , turns out it won't show because of my ROM, so I'll have to switch to stock like you said, before I do that though I'll try that code he said at the end to see if it will unlock. Thanks :good:

Hy i i bought lg g flex on ebay from us sprint carrier. The phone is in perfect shape,but the only problem is that i cant put sim card,not reading it. Can some 1 help me please. iTS NOT HARDWARE problem thats for sure. Sry for bad english. :good::good::good:
Sprint uses CDMA for its voice and 3G, like Verizon. The SIM card in the G-Flex is only for LTE, and I don't believe it is user-serviceable. You should have gotten a T-Mobile or ATT Flex, as both of those carriers use GSM for everything. Also, this forum is for development only. There is a separate forum for questions and answers.

Go to G2 Sprint development forum and find How to unlock Sprint to others carriers and follow the steps Hope U ll unlock your mobile for others carriers :good:

need help with permissions
Use this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133) method to get Flex unlocked but looks like I've messed something with permissions and now it says 'com.android.phone has stopped', sometimes 'SMS/MMS has stopped'. Please give me the correct permissions for content of 'carrier' folder and apn-conf.xml bcz looks like rw-r--r-- doesn't work good.

I am getting the same error as soon as I hang up. Did you get the correct permissions that work?
Thanks
I was getting the exact same errors... What all the unlockin tuts dont say is that after you do the unlock you must make a factory reset. That will solve the "android.com.phone" has force closed.
For the other error of sim card not detected:
Wipe the phone (factory reset)
Move the files to the phone (just property folder)
Copy all the files using a root explorer to /carrier/property
Power the phone off
Insert sim card
Power on
Change in settings mobile networks to gsm/umts only
And voila
I suggest you make another hard reset again
To avoid the android.phone error
Good luck!

How to flash the zip ? Should i flash over Fastboot or Recovery.

Baseband Version : unknown
I dont know what to do
Please give me a instruction how to flash. Step for step. Is it possible? Why i have baseband Version unknown
Read fastboot guide in G6 general forum.
Make sure you get correct ROM for dual SIM model
Moreover, read flashfile.xml to find out which components are flashed on b partition
Your baseband messed up
Still baseband Problem... What should be on Partition a and what on B ? The Rom i downloaded from the Link below. Dual Sim.
This is how I did manual update, but I used Linux machine because I had no luck with Windows

Did you get your phone working? Some of us had a similar issue flashing using the Lenovo Smart Assistant app. If you still have a problem, I can show a few things that might help. My phone was under warranty so it was replaced by MOTO. I still researched and found some info but haven't tested any of it. Possible OS. Create a batch file or try RSD Lite 6.2.4 if you use Windows.
