I have a Sprint Tab that I just flashed with a rooted gingerbread. It looks like it worked, but I cannot get it to unlock from the pin page. My old pin does not work...neither does any standard defaults that I could think of...nor my "phone" number. Any advice?

Hi all.
My wife has an Orange branded Samsung Galaxy-S and she was complaining about the lag she was having. After applying the One Click Lag Fix she wasn't too satisfied so I decided to look into updating it to one of the Beta Froyo ROM's and found the following guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769400 (I now know this isn't the latest version of 2.2 for the Galaxy-S and that the guide is old!)
I first attempted to do so via KIES which left me in a Force close loop of Touchwiz and other apps so I then flashed via ODIN which was successful except my wife's Galaxy wasn't accepting her Orange sim as the simlock had changed.
I then looked into my efs folder to find that my nv_data.bin and the backup were recent (I assume this is because of the two flashes, KIES and ODIN) and my original data.bin is lost.
The only thing holding me back now is the unlock code (it was unlocked before) and for some reason I can't generate an unlock code as it is now.
When I replace the older nv_data with the newer one the phone reboots but with a generic IMEI but no simlock. When I use the older one, the phone has the correct IMEI but the sim lock is present.
Is there any way around this at all? Would a paid IMEI unlock code be possible to get around the sim lock? I'm not sure if such a thing even exists.
Any and all help appreciated.

Apologies if this is too similar to this thread. That does sound like the same issue as I am having.
More info: According to SGS Toolbox, my current nv_data.bin has a product code I9000HKDORA which I believe is the correct one for an Orange branded handset. Does this mean this could be my original nv_data.bin?

I did try that first of all and that's when I lost my IMEI number.
I've now turned on my wifes Galaxy with my Orange sim in it and it seems to be recieving texts. MY sim works fine in my old SonyEricsson phone (calls and SMS) but the Galaxy won't do anything as it keeps asking for an unlock code.
Thanks for the reply!
I Bought a Tab I am assuming is an unlocked UK Tab. I flashed wrong junk on it and it wont boot up. Now I need to flash stock or something good. Is there anything on the box or devise to tell where it is from so I know what ROM to download, or does that matter?
thanx

Well I got it back to factory without re-flashing, but I would still like to know what GT I have. It says, GT-P1000

Hello,
I am selling my Captivate to a friend who is returning to Paraguay next week. I have returned to stock and installed Andromeda 3. I have not assigned an account to it. I did use SGS Unlock and when I use that app to test it, it returns all 7's.
If I restored back to stock or updated to Andromeda, does the unlock stay in place?
Is there anything else I need to do to get this to work for her over seas?
Unlock stays through flash.
That should be all that's needed...
Hello guys, i'm new in this forum.
I've recently bought a used Samsung Galaxy Note, factory unlocked. It came with the 2.3.6 version of android and it worked perfectly. But today, i've upgraded it to ICS by KIES (i'm a mac user) and it doesn't recognize my sim card (It says emergency calls only). The phone isn't blocked and it works perfectly, except from that.
I've tried factory resets and everything, and it doesn't work.
Then, i've downgraded it to 2.3.6 again and guest what: IT WORKS!
But then, i upgrade it again to ICS and it doesn't work again. It's not a sim card problem, i've tried another ones and they don't work neither.
Please help me asap, i'm in 2.3.6 now because that's the only way to call in my phone...
Regards from Sevilla, Spain.

There are some threads abt sim unlock in "general" section if I am not wrong..just go through it & u should be able to make your sim work on ICS..
Lol for galaxy s unlock in the play store
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
lol, when you boot in ICS do you get the sim pin unlock screen?
cause if you dont there is a fix for that which has nothing to with being locked.
Hey guys.
Long story short, Galaxy Mini reboots itself when it gets signal. So without sim card it works flawlessly. Or when the sim is in and I dont type the pin code. When a friend borrowed me the phone it was rooted with stock rom and some kernel on it. And it worked. Now I flashed back stock 2.3.6
firmware and now EVERYTHING is STOCK. And the problem appeared when i did a clean flash. Why would that be? And how to fix it? Please guys help me. I donw know what to do anymore. I tried other stock 2.3.6, but other country and same thing. It reboots or its just black screen after pin input (5-10sec)

So, you're using PIN Lock on your SIM ?
If so, then try to disable the PIN lock.
