Hi there,
hope someone can help.
I have 3 Samsung Ace S5830 phones and unlocked the first 2 (with Austrian A1 lock) with no problem using the bml5.img extraction method. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335548 ) Now the 3th one (with an O2 German simlock) it will not unlock. I found with the hex editor an 8 digit number which appears to be normal.(not 00000000) The phone has an original firmware which boots normal and always asks for the network code. When I enter the found code it gives me an error that his is not the right code.
I looked the internet over and over for hours and cannot find a solution. I tried to extract the bml5.img multiple times, but it gives me always the same 8 digit code. Also tried to complete go back to original with stock firmware with Odin, also no luck.
Is there another trick?
Please, hop someone has a good idead, as I'm desperate.
Regards
UPDATE:
Never mind, found myself another solutions. For those facing the same problem:
I followed this guide on tube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9Xpuo6EJ5U and did exactly what was told, and voila, the app found 2 codes!
1 also found in the bml5.img and one complete different. The last one worked for me.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
anyone???
Please, anyone???

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!
Hello guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S, I9000 locked to Orange.
I tried the SGS Unlock to get the Code and it did, but when i insert the code it says code wrong.
I flashed to another ROM and still no luck.
Can somebody tell me whats wrong?
Can it be that the counter i locked? How can i check this?
Use the "For Windows UPDATED!!! With Un-Freeze Codes" method, you have also a video guide for it. The two apps I found didn't work for me.

Hi everyone,
This is my first time and I am wondering if someone can help. I have tried everything and nothings far.
I have SG SII few weeks ago someone mentioned that ICS was out so I googled it and followed the instructions which installed i9100xxKP8 4.0.3 version and at the first start the phone does not recognise any SIM card you put. I know I made the mistake not noted down the original firmware number etc.. But I am stuck I can't use Kies to upgrade to the proper O2 upgrade which is out.
Any help would be appreciate it before I bin this lovely phone .
Thank you
Wessam
Firstly this is the wrong forum this forum is for the Samsung Galaxy S (Not SII/2).
Luckily this is not a phone specific thing all that much.
To get your stock rom go to sammobile.com. Find the firmware that best matches your situation, i.e. country and provider. There are also downloadable instructions. Another thing you could do is go to your correct forum and look for the correct firmware.
To be clear all you have to do is install the stock firmware and your phone should be recognised by Kies. If this doesn't happen then you may have to make another post in the correct thread. A fix you could try (not sure this will work on S2) is type *#262*your imei# and select the correct csc code (Changing the code will reboot your phone and perform a factory reset). Also find this on the sammobile.com website, i think letter codes or something.
Hello everyone.
I installed CWM 5.0.2.6 and then Cyanogen mod 9 succesfully. Then I changed it to "MIUI TOCAi 0.1.4" and it was working fine although it could not find my network. I tried searching manually but without success (it kept on showing up that it's not able to register to the network im choosing and that i should try again later.) It had simlock before so I tryed to unlock it using this thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204705". I got the code etc but I didnt know where to type it in. I turned the phone off and on hoping that the menu with this code request would pop out but it didnt so I replaced the sim card with another one. It still didnt pop out so I replaced it with the previous one and the phone bricked.
Im not able to get to CWM or to the system at all. Im only able to get to DL mode. I tried to unbrick it using this method "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071970" and few similar ones. I used multi and single package but without success.
The simlock was for "3" network. Tryed O2 and Vodafone simcards.
Is there any way to unbrick it without going to the service?
I'm going to post youtube links to show you how it looks in just a few minutes.

Looks like your efs partition (either stl5 or bml5) got corrupted. This cannot be fixed by flashing roms or stock roms, since its a sepparate partition. Network Unlocking the ace might result in a brick specially if not done from stock firmware.
i bricked my gio after network unlock too, it was due to the efs partition being messed up, i couldnt get it to boot normally or recovery (screen flashes then dies) but download works, and odin didnt solve anything, so i sent it in to samsung and got a new gio
to sum it up, you now have a nice paperweight
Hi!
It's a long story, but I need newest combination file. I couldn't find newer than u3, but I need u8, because I have s8 rom installed and bootloader won't let me install older version of course.
My current pda is a715fxxs8bvc2 ; csc - a715fprt8bva1.
And my long story is:
I've bought used a715f/ds 2 years ago. I've used it for these 2 years and now I've switched to s21+ 5g. I did a factory reset of a71 and gave it to my friend. The next day my friend tried to set up this phone and was copying her files, but got a message that phone is blocked by carrier (kg lock) "t-mobile", which is a fun thing, because phone was bought at other carrier "play". I called t-mobile, but they said that thay can't tell me nothing, because I'm not the orignial buyer. I tried contacting the person from which I bought the a71, but he didn't respond. So, I tried flashing rom and that's when I found out about the kg lock. I tried searching the internet and I tried few things. While searching the internet I found out a guide on xda forum in which someone suggests flashing pit file and then using "boot to bootloader" option, which opens fastboot and then to flash combination file from there. I have no idea how to flash combination file from fastboot and I coudn't find any guide for this, so I tried good old odin, but I get error in odin, because only combination files I could find are u1, u2 and u3 (android 10Q) and I need u8 (android 11R) or newer.
P.S. I've also contacted "play", but they haven't responded yet. (I've called to t-mobile, but I've used in-app chat function for play, because I'm their user)
P.P.S. Bootloader is unlocked. My plan is to flash newest rom after flashing combinantion file (which I hope will take down kg lock) and then do magisk and try to use some tools to fake/change imei, so my friend could use normal phone functions (call/sms).
If you have any other ideas, please let me know.
me to need that new version
