Hey guys I have the samsung galaxy vibrant, 2.3.3, I have root. How do I sim unlock this thing.. I've tried both apps from the market store and I tried using the Samsung Unlock Tool on the computer inserting my efs bin, but it says my video card isn't supported (intel). so that won't work either..

I honestly do not know if you need the SIM card or not to access the market which will allow you to get the "Galaxy S Unlock" app. I have tried the "Galaxy S Unlock" app before but I could never get it working (with stock FW and Stock FW + Root). Im pretty sure that you cannot use that app once you update from Stock FW to Stock FW + JH7 (the original "GPS fix" back in Sept). However, the way I got my unlock code was the following steps:
1) Go back to complete stock FW using the following link:

2) Root the device using the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304&highlight=click+root
3) Get your unlock code using the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761751
This may be the long method but this is the only way I have ever gotten my unlock code. But then again, once I got my unlock code, I never tried to get it again. The above steps that I took did not require a AT&T sim card at all.
I hope that helps.
Hey! Even i got this phone from United States to India and now even i m in a fix that how do i unlock. please tell me did u manage to unlock the phone?
Hi All,
I am unable to unlock my samsung galaxy s GT-I9000 at all.
History:
I upgraded my phone from 2.1 to 2.2
Tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7776555#post7776555
i.e. Rooted my mobile and tried using Generate Unlock Windows.zip - But it always threw nv_data.bin not found error.
Then i tried with 2 apps on the market, by dagentooboy.
Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool
Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Froyo
It did not work again. I tried running root and the code provided by dagentooboy.
i am unable to unlock at all.
Also, I wanted to know is it a must to have SD card? If some body can unlock, I can provide nv_data_bin file.
I am willing to donate as well.
Unlocked!!!
Hi All,
If you are unable to unlock using the above steps, please use the Pro Version.. it worked for me.
Thanks dagentooboy ... its worth paying for your work!!! Yeppie..
It didn't for me. It said it is unlocked, but it is not.

Hello Everyone,
can someone help me unlock this phone plz? i been reading and reading but without any success.
i have Samsung Galaxy ace S5830d form koodo mobile in canada.
please sum1 help.
thanks for any help in advance
I have the same phone but locked to koodo's parent company (telus). If you are looking to unlock to use another carriers sim card, I found a tool on the play store that does it ( Galaxy Ace Unlock ). Your phone will have to be rooted and Busybox has to be installed for it to work. Keep a pen and paper handy as it may display a few different codes to try, you have 3 chances to try before your phone locks you out ( then you have to call koodo ). You will also need a sim card from another carrier, if you don't have one...borrow one for a few minutes. It worked on my Ace.
THANK U
I WAs able to root it and i unlocked it. thanks

Hi, I own a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 and I just finished rooting my device and installing the Slim Bean rom and the Gapps. Everything is working well and without any problems except the SIM card, it seems like the device wont even recognize the SIM card, I've been told theres a problem with the IMEI, and when i type in the phone app *#06# it just says IMEI and thats it, i have no idea what to do or whats the problem, so please if someone can help me i will be so thankful!
