[Q] How to unlock LG P970 - LG Optimus Black

Hi, I got some problems with my Black. About 2 months ago my parents bought me Desire HD, so i put my p970 on my desk and i dont used it. Now I dont remember my password 'patternlock' and i cant use this phone.
Is any possible way to unlock my phone ? wipe or something like that ? I dont know what to do ?
I found on forum this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148397
but i dont know what does it mean fastboot -w and how to make it ?
Thanks for any help !!!!

If you don't care about data, then:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/339...workmod/page__st__20__p__1708746#entry1708746

I don't care about data on this phone. Yes, but it's "GERMAN 1&1 Branded Version!" and i want to install V10E, do you think it should work for this one ?

You don't need to use 1&1. Use any of THESE.

Chance for cooked ROM with USBSwitch-App?

Hi,
i have the following problem:
i have used the Chevron tool to deploy the USBSwitcher App to test the debug mode...
i have used the tutorial to prevent my hd7 from relock, but that doesn't work...
The application has been revoked and uninstalled :'(
So im stuck at the debug mode with no chance to change the USB-Mode...
Could anybody make a C-ROM with that app?
Or is it possible to use the Bootloader-Mode to install an xap to WP7?
i hope that somebody can help me
im really desperate... :'-(
custom roms need access to HSPL. We dont have access to HSPL yet
So is there another chance to go back into zune-mode?
I've no idea. There seems to be **** all development going on for HD7. Custom roms aren't available yet. Maybe some one else can help ya.
Sent from my HD7
maybe there is a way that someone make a backup of his phone while the USB-Switch is installed...
then i have the chance to set the mode to zune-mode again when i install the backup!?!?!
hope that sby can help me
Srry for doublepost, but:
Does anybody having the same problem tried to flash another Radio ROM?
did it work?
Yes I know about you trouble.
The only way is to unlock your device, with a super cid.
My friend had the same expr., and solved it.
Super cid unlock will display "security unlocked" on your bootloader mode.

I already flash my device (HD7) with another ROM that match with my Firmware, unfortunately the mode is not switching to ZUNE.

how can we do that?
Sooo
i found out something interesting...
as this device is in qualcomm mode now i installed the Qualcomm Product Support Tool (QPST) and connected it...
it works...
so could anybody which knows that program make a backup of his phone (when the USb-Switch-App is installed) so that i can get back into zune mode?
Would be great to hear from you...
so now the first update is out...
could anybody give me an backup from WP7 with the USB-Switch App?
would be really great...
but be careful:
before you give the backup you must be sure that you don't have an live account assigned because i don't want to mess up anybodys mails (or even read it...)
would be great if someone could post an fresh WP7 backup with only USB-Switch app...
thanks

I dont know where you can find the SPL unlock service, in your place.
In China I only know one place named "Hua Qiang Bei" in Shenzhen City, which is one of the most biggest electronic market.
This unlock service only costs about 10USD, I have some friends bought HD7s from Shenzhen City, all T-mobile version and "security unlocked" shows on the bootloader mode. The devices are network locked when come from USA, I think this is the quicker way for the seller to unlock the network (SIM), by unlocking the SPL.
I heard that they use a set of HTC debugging or testing software to do it, which limited people know about it. Thats all i know.
oberoth, were you able to find a solution to your problem? I am in the exact situation and need dire help. I have spent too many hours trying to figure this one out.
Hi,
i haven't found s solution yet, but now there is RSPL/HSPL so maybe one of our great cooks can make a ROM with the USBSwitch-App?
Would be really great :O

Unlockable botloader after soft brick?????

Hi to everybody.
After soft bricking my sim-unlocked X8 due to install attempt of the lates tGingerbread v23 rom with alfadons and overclock-module, I had to use SEUS to flash an OEM rom and baseband.
Now I tried to re-root and unlock the bootloader several times but unfortunately the last string in cmd window is: not recognized simlock... or something similar.
After doing a lot of forum search there are plenty of hints telling that there's nothing to do. no possibility to install custom rom.
I tried it anyway and still soft brick (SE logo appears and nothing else..)..
So I decided to re-flash the OEM Rom and use the phone this way BUT......it works fine only WITHOUT a sim card inserted. If the sim card is inserter no icons appear, no button working. The only thing you see is the background immage...
Can anybody help me??????

My buddy did that twice and they did believe him, and hes phone got repaired for free.

Don't take it to the 3 store. Take it so the Sony Ericsson store and tell them what DevStaffAndroid said. You will need to have warranty though.

Thats another story.... very good question but, I don't know the answer.
But I don't know if you'll be able to unlock it with flash... at least with the
programs and cables available for a normal user, and without extra hardware for that...
Keep on trying, maybe you find someone who knows how to. Sorry... :angel:

I don't think that would be the case... the p880g is unique in that it supports AWS frequencies (necessary for Wind and Videotron, but also used by T-Mobile in the U.S.). But it still supports other GSM frequencies. For example, my Wind p880g will roam on Rogers when I'm out of the Wind Home zones.
Sorry I don't have any more info on your issue. :-/

[Q] No calling, no texting, everything else works

Hi everyone!
I bought recently a new galaxy s advanced and for some weird reason i can't make calls, can't text and can't receive anything. But i can unlock my sim without any problem and i can use mobile internet.
I had first the original gingerbread rom (i9070XXLK2), rupgraded it to 4.1.2 jelly bean(i9070XXLQE), rooted it, upgraded the kernel to this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140597 and after that tried a cyanogen rom(this one => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497660 ), went after the cyanogen back to the 4.1.2 but nothing works.
atm it is running original 4.1.2 rooted and cwm.
I also tried galaxSim but it doesn't support the galaxy s advanced, also the *#simlock# thing does not work. I am not sure there is a simlock on the phone because mobile internet works.
If you need more info just ask! Not really sure what information you need to know.
I have no idea what to do now, i hope some1 can help me.

You must do Factory reset when you change ROM. Do it now.
Do you have I9070 or I9070P? On CM you do not have network unless you change tee folder if your phone is I9070P.

I have factory resetted it 3 or 4 times (after every rom flash).
It's an I9070, not the P one.
If some1 tries to call me they hear an automated message tape thing that says my number is blocked and i need to call my provider.
I did call my provider and there is nothing blocking my number or the phone.
When i put my sim in another phone everything works fine so the issue must be in the phone itself.
Thanks for trying to help :highfive:

I tried 3 different SIM's but all from the same provider, i am going to visit a friend tomorrow to lend his SIM (he has another provider). I wiped dalvik cache every time i factory resetted it (after every rom flash)
Is it possible there is a piece of hardware in the phone blocking the calls and the messages?
Found out something new, if i do phone (the app) => call settings => additional settings, i get a message saying "network or sim card error".
I am searching for an hour now for a fix but i can't find anything. I will keep searching for another couple of hours, i really want to fix this.

I don't know, as far i can see there is no sign of a provider/region lock. During boot no logo from a provider, sim can be unlocked when it asks for my PIN.
I tried to figure out if there is a simlock with *#SIMLOCK# but the code does not work. Any idea how i can see if there is a sim-lock?

I bought it from an auction, a phone shop went bust and they sold thousands of phones. They had over 20 shops and they were not promoting a provider.
it was brand new in a sealed box and as far as i know i don't have warranty.
Is there a place to check if there is still a warranty on the phone?
EDIT: just checked and i have still warranry (produced at oktober 2012) but the problem i have now is, i flashed it a couple of times, isn't my warranty ruined now?

I am not sure how is it in your country about that. You can go to some service center to see if the phone is locked to some carrier.
I just tried to check the binary counter, but as far as i can see it didn't move during the flashes and looks original
When i go in download mode i get this:
Odin mode
Product name: GT-I9070
Custom binary download: no
current binary: samsung official
I think this means it got still warranty?
If it is, i'm going to put back jelly bean on it and try to send it back to samsung, is there a chance they will fix it and won't find out i messed with it?

Yes, just go back to JB and you are good to go. And you can uninstall app that need root if you have any.

i hope they fix it! Again thanks for the help! :highfive:
Sad news, the phone is back from RMA and there is a simlock on it, but the problem is i can't find a method to remove it 4 free (don't want to pay even more for the damn thing). I am going to a shop from the original carrier over a couple of days(i know which carrier simlocked the crap out of it and they have shops not really far from here) but i am not sure they unlock it for free, and tbh the people that work there probably have no clue how to do it, so i don't have a lot of hope for that so i want to try it first myself if that's possible, but i tried already a couple of things and none of them works. Anyone an idea how i can remove it?

I was afraid of that, thanks to confirm. Went to the carrier which locked the phone and they said it is illegal to unlock it, which isn't true of course (checked it everywhere and it is legal) I will find a way to fix it with the carrier, thanks for the help.

Need help with unlocking Galaxy S3 Mini

Hi guys, I'm trying to unlock my S3 Mini and I'm having no luck so far. I've managed to root the phone using the iRoot (former Vroot) program and it worked nicely. At least it seems it did, now it does ask me to give su eprmissions to allpications and busybox is installed.
As for the unlocking itself, I tried several methods. Firstly, there was some service menu, accessible by a long string of numbers on the dialer, then going to network lock menu and setting something there, but the menu isn't there. Or better said, when I come to the Network Lock, it says only Not Active and no further options available. Then I tried the GalaxSim Unlock just to see, but as it said in the notes, this version of phone is not supported and so it didn't work. Same with another app, Galaxy S Unlock, or something like that. That one needs busybox, so I installed the 1.22 I think, but it says that there is a problem with busybox or something. It does say in the notes, that recommended is 1.17 busybox, so I keep that as a backup hope but it seems again, that the phone is not supported...
So basically, I have a rooted S3 Mini, that is still locked to T-mobile. I'm not sure, whether the country of origin matters here, but I think it was purchased in Austria (I am not the first owner) and need to unlock it for slovak O2. So far I am actually very happy with it's stock ROM, so I'm not planning to flash it completely, just sim unlock. So if anyone has any idea, what I can do to avoid going to a phone service and have it done for money, I'd appreciate it.
GT-I8910
stock Android 4.1.2
I8910XXAME1
Seriously noone has any idea how to unlock one of these machines? I've seen so many people talking about unlocking this and none of the methods mentioned worked. So please, pretty please, if you have any info on this, share it...
