Thanks - will try that. I found a WellCom A99 ROM. Do you know what the difference is?
The reason I'm asking is I am trying to unlock via a code I paid for (as Cincinnati Bell refuses to give their customers the codes, bad policy) and it isn't working. I'm wondering if it is the ROM or if the code just doesn't work. I will try the Huawei ROM and see if I have a different result but I fear this code is not good.

I am now on the stock Huawei ROM and the phone is requesting a block unblock key. That only happens when your unlock code attempts fail too many times. Apparently, this company can get the key, and is working on that now. If / when I get the key and a correct code, that should solve it and I'm going directly to the CM7 build.
I'll post again if successful.

hi
i dont think this can be flashed via CWM
and for ur info if u tried both the roms u mentioned via CWM it wont happen u have to flash it via stock recovery only or u can use Napstar new CWM which has the option to also boot via stock
u also need to rename them to firmware.nb0 put it on root of ur SD and then try flashing via Stock recovery only
Success! I am in no way promoting these guys, but unlocksolution[dot]com came through. They got me the SIM block reset key, I entered it (as it was blocked from too many failed unlocks) and the phone is now registered.

I'm actually overseas for work, so I'm using Orange now. This is great for those of us who, contrary to Cincinnati Bell's stupid rules, want to use our phones overseas and still use CB in the states. T-mo and AT&T give out unlock codes after 90 days, I wish CB would wake up and have a decent policy.
One other thing for those talking about using different ROMs... I'm on CM7 now (the kang version, top of the list in the Dev forum for this phone) and it's working great. Not sure why anyone wants to stay with different stock ROMs, the only thing they have is a FM radio, and I can live without that.
If anyone needs help with any of this just PM me. Thanks!

Yea my last stent with Cincinnati Bell. As soon as my contract (or they change the TOS) is up I am moving to another carrier. They really suck when it comes to user support and willingness to work with customers. Their customer support has been absolutely rude with me in certain of their stores. On top of that they used to be price competative but not anymore. they have went up on their prices to where other carriers can really be competitive (except Verizon and ATT).

Since you have rooted to CM7, have you had the "Incoming Download Mode
polling, get oemsbl_mode =" problem where you have to take the battery out of the phone to reboot because the screen is black and that message just keeps going and going? That seems to be inherent on the Ascend X for Cincy Bell customers. I know 4 other people besides myself that have the issue consistently. Also, a lot of random reboots.

Only reason for this to happen if that somehow you are holding the vol up key when starting. If you have a case on it perhaps the case is holding the vol up button or that button is somehow stuck.

I have tried a couple different ways. Nothing seems to be working for the I896
I have as well and can't seem to do it I paid for an unlock code as well but doesn't seem to work.although I haven't tried with a sim card in yet.things aren't looking so good... Theres another method on here for a permanent unlock but I'm leary on trying that yet, I've skimmed the phone trying to find anything and nothing too promising.

Just unlocked mine. First had to root it then used universal SIM unlock method by miztaken1312 (sorry, can't post the link yet).
The one click unlock will NOT work, Rogers cleaned up their firmware, so the unlock code is no longer stored on the phone itself. However, miztaken1312 method modifies one of the system files on the phone to store the unlock code of your choice. Basically, after you set up ADB and root your phone you download a special system file from the phone, patch it using special online utility, upload the modified file back to the phone and now you know the unlock code.
Update: in case someone is still looking for info on how to unlock Rogers Samsung Galaxy S Captivate SGH-I896, here's the link to the site I used: http://www.communityhosting.net/sgsunlock/
Root your phone first with z4root app from the market, then backup and make sure to follow these steps carefully!
Hi,
i recently bought a new droid 3 from verizon i already sim unlocked it because i live in Europe.
but i'm totally new to the android system but i do know some things about it but is there a guide to help me started rooting and flashing?
or could someone tell me the basics in a nutshell?
my previous phone was a WinMo based phone and all you needed was sspl and you could flash custom roms.
how is it done for android? and what does it mean with fastboot, root? (i asume it is something like linux to be root user?) safeboot? bootstrap? and what is CM7 or CM9
P.S. i study electronics-informatics so you don't need to tell me what linux or windows is
thnx in advance
Can you tell me how you unlocked your phone???

To flash ROMs install Safestrap from here
http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com/p/android-downloads.html
Go to the android development section to find ROMs.
Liberty, ICS/CM9, MavRom, and SteelDroid are the most popular. Im using mavrom with ICS currently.
I definitely recommend looking into CM9. I just did a bunch of Googling on it today for my D3.
Now I'm running Ice Cream Sandwich and loving it. It's early yet and it has it's quirks, but overall I think it was worth it.

you only need to give the IMEI number you can find here:
At the Home screen, press Menu
Tap Settings
Scroll down and tap "About phone"
Tap Status
Scroll down the screen and the IMEI # will be listed there
it worked for me and i got the sim unlock code emailed to me within 30 mins (look in you spam folder too)

ooh but is there a way to brick the phone? cause it would be darn stupid to brick my 3 day old phone and send it back to america for repairs.
so just root the phone and install safestrap? no worries of bricking the phone? and are there other methods besides safestrap?
if yes what are the differences?
it all looks SO easy to flash roms for android ( in WinMo it was always wait and see) but then again it was Microsoft...
There is always a chance of bricking your phone but fortunately perma-bricking your phone while trying to flash new roms or using safestrap is almost impossible since you can still enter fastboot (m+powerup) from where you can install the stock sbf/rom
You can also flash using the 'old' bootstrap which basically removes your stock rom and flahes the new one.
Safestrap backs-up your old rom so you can try out another rom in another system/partition. Almost dualboot like except you can't reflash the original rom (yet)
Sry no links i'm on my droid3
"Almost dualboot like except you can't reflash the original rom" hey double, what do you mean by this. If you toggle safe system you can use your original ROM again. although i think im understanding wrong lol

You're right but you can't reflash your original rom (non-safe). E.g. i have mavrom as nonsafe/original and ics has safe..now if an update comes for mavrom i can't update it without uninstalling safestrap and going back to bootstrap
Oh I understand you now. And we got the same setup aha.

of what i read is that the MEID is a kind of IMEI number but because there are so many phones with an IMEI number that they needed something new but the unlock is (according what i found on google) always done with the IMEI number.
to what carrier is your phone locked to? and what is the exact type of your phone XT860 XT862? (you can find this in the "about" menu under settings.
maybe it is because my phone was brand new and never used.So it was never activated on the verizon network.
and i don't know if this has anything to do with it but on the box it says that the phone is "global ready".(I personally think it has nothing to do with that because if the phone is quadband it is ALWAYS global ready, if ofcourse the phone is not locked to verizon or some other carrier)
i have an alternative website but it is more expensive i thought it was 23 dollars or so. it first checks if they have an unlock code (never used the site but it looks promising)
sim-unlock.net/sim-lock/75/Unlock_for_any_New_Motorola_Defy_Flipout_Milestone/ (again put the http in front of it)
i hope this helps

I test this method in devices unlocked by a code that I bought in libertyunlock.com, the unlock it's permanent, the tethering otherwise I don't really know if you will losing it, because the devices that I updated don't have a jailbreak and by this method (unlocking by code) you need the At&t tethering plan to tether. I presume that making an update in a device jailbreaked you will losing it at the time your firmware change...
Sorry for not be more useful Greg
I can however help a bit more
upgrading to 7.8 will not permanently lock your device, it will however attempt to relock its self once its installed, this can be stopped by either applying the relock prevent xap again or by applying the unlock again
if you update the firmware then all is not lost, you can stil unlock or remain unlocked as mentioned above, if you hard reset though you will not be able to apply the dev unlock as you had originally done
course this is all academic now that all 2nd gen samsungs can be unlocked regardless of their firmware, search around the WP7 forum for the answers, it is harder than the original unlock by beggar's cant be choosers

Good question, what is your OS and firmware version?
Demo mode suggests that its not a retail model, it may be lacking features.
however, if you are running exactly the same OS and firmware version then perhaps we can compare and find out what is making it restart. I suspect that its different versions though

This worked flawlessly on the first try for me.
one problem though (or question)...
i was attempting to do an interop unlock, however i forced another backup not realizing that the original 7.5 backup would have been overwritten...
since i'm now faced with the samsung wireless manager apn list being empty issue, how do i go about getting the software downgraded without the backup or getting the interop unlock without the samsung wireless manager blocking the entire process?

that's the one, I don't understand why your not able to change the APN, the wireless manager is still on the market place
the process of the V3 unlock adds the correct settings to the APN settings, so if you had problems before on the older update process, you should try the new one anyway

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.

I also rried 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.
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:

Try to put some other SIM in phone. See what happens then. And did you wipe dalvik cache too? Try that.

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.

Are you sure it is not locked to some provider?

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 am not sure where you can look for that. And you bought from store or? You can go there and ask them maybe what is the problem. You have warranty?

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.

No root stuff on the phone anymore, eveything looks how it's suppose to i think
requested to rma the phone and it will be sent tomorrow.
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 did not see anyone that unlocked sgsa here on the forum… And I did not see any guide about it for our device.

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.
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

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...
