Hi All,
I'm new to the forum and very new to this type of phone (Samsung Galaxy S GT i9000) I purchased this phone from a well known internet auction site. The phone was supposed to be locked to Vodafone, but works fine with my Orange sim card inserted.
When I turn the phone on I get a Vodafone logo on start up, is there anyway to remove this logo.
I have also been reading a few posts about this model of phone and the things you can do with it. Being a compleat novice to this type of phone and the forum I have not got a clue what you are all talking about (Senior moment) can somebody please explain what is possiable with this phone and what the benefits are.
Many thanks

hi all, i am hoping somebody can shed some light on this. My brother came from spain and he loved my phone and wants me to sell it to him. Its on O2 (UK) and unlocked and flashed few roms to it by now.
Whats strange is that it detects his card but wont register with any networks here even though his own phone does register with o2 and orange depends where he is.
Now i am confused as i thought open to all networks means he can use his own sim but didnt work, i even reset the phone and it detected his card and said it is configuring setting and need to restart but then no service.
Anyone can help? is it the ROM or am i missing some cabs?
Hi All,
Recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Gumtree online. It was only working on o2 network so got at unblocked from a guy at a market stall so that it works on all network sims. It was working fine for about a week but then randomly came up with a message saying "emergency calls only" and I coulnt make or recieve calls or texts even if i changed the sim to o2. The internet was still functioning correctly however.
Called network provider and have been told that there is a bar on it by an insurance company. Tried to get back to the seller but have not been able to contact him. Have reported him but I would just like to know is there any way to unblock this phone at all? Dont want to lose out on all the money spent on it. would it be worth downloading any unblocking applications if the phone has a bar on it?
Please any ideas, comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies for the long message
Thanks
this section is for i9000 Galaxy S, not Galaxy S II, pay more attention please because here maybe we can't help you
Unlock the phone and flash to a generic firmware.
And please post in the correct sections to get help better.
Hi all, I am in real need of some help here. I have a S3 Mini GT-I8190N. It is an unlocked 02 phone. I have a Virgin uk sim (rolling monthly contract). I simply do not understand why my S3 mini will not accept it. I've tried several custom roms. ( at this moment I'm using AOKP Golden KitKat) I've also tried various stock roms. Started by updating the original stock rom which came with the phone. No matter what I've tried my sim will not allow me to make/receive calls or texts. On one occasion it was allowing me on to the internet but still wouldnt let me make calls etc. The sim does work in other phones. I have tried a mates 3 uk sim and also an unused O2 payg in the S3 mini. Neither worked. I should also mention that the phone recognises the Virgin uk sims number and if I don't insert any sim it notifies me that sim is not present. I've been puzzling over this for a week and my head is battered. I should mention that whilst I am no genius, am I not an idiot. There must be something I'm overlooking. Unless of course the phone is just kapput. If anyone out there has had a similar problem with Virgin sim or can offer me any advice then please let me know. This is beginning to make my teeth itch!!! Cheers.
Hello all,
I have been all around the intertubes in my day and have always been able to solve all of my technical problems with some advanced google searching, because if I am having this problem then someone out there has had it also and thought to ask right?
Not this time...
I bought this phone off craigslist, checked imei and it came back clean, got the phone running on t-mobile no problems at all, about 2 weeks later I get this RAC (Rent-A-Center) logo saying this phone won't work anymore yadayadayada, please call us with IMEI....my thoughts are someone sold me a phone they were leasing from RAC for a quick buck. I turned the phone on and it literally would not lot me access a single setting. Came up to an unlock screen wanting a Rent A Center associate PIN. I walked on down to RAC on my day off and they couldn't help me at all. They didn't even ask for the phone back, they informed me that the phone was "junk" and they couldn't even find out who it previously belonged to let alone unlock it for me (they didn't seem too interested in the latter).
I decided to take matters into my own hands and attempt to resolve this issue, no help what so ever out there. Plenty of RAC lock fixes for the s5 and other android phones but no specific help for my model. I attempt stock firmware through ODIN to no avail, then TWRP, custom roms, etc, etc etc, and it always comes up with the RAC lock screen.
I need help please, otherwise i'm out $325

@ moderators: Could you please close the thread? I received help from a company that unlocks phones. Thanks
Hi all. I have a Samsung A6 which is locked and every time I try to use a different SIM other than the one it came with, the phone simply will not work. I did my research but so far I have not found something (in case there is, apologies; also i will be obliged if you send me the links to read them).
So long story short: is there a way to make the phone usable by other network providers? If there is could you please tell me how to do it? On a separate note, I managed to root the phone but the issue with the network provider remained so I put back an official firmware and now the phone wears Android 9.
Thank you very much in advance.
