Is it possible to unlock the Samsung galaxy mini through USB flashing or does anybody have any working codes perhaps? I don't have the money to unlock it at a shop! I've unlocked plenty nokias via USB but not Samsung!

It is not a app to run in Mobile... It is to run in PC. Extract it and run the .exe file.

Finally managed to pull the bml5 file out, but I've been informed that even with the code one cannot unlock the phone when the cm7 mod is installed. Is there perhaps a way to install stock rom on a partition and unlock there or even if I revert back to stock rom and back up this one will the unlock code still work (once I find it that is)?

Yes, you can go to stock and then come back to cm7... Just make a backup of your rom and then
Flash GB..
Unlock Your device...
Flash CWM recovery
Flash CM7 (new/clean install) in CWM
Wipe data amd cache...
[You can check if your sim is unlocked or not; Also doing a nandroid won't harm]
Then use advance restore and restore data and sd-ext i.e. CWM Menu>>Backup and Restore>>Advance restore>>Data and sd-ext

Hello,
I can't flash any ROM. I have the ClockWorkMod recovery. When Flashing a ROM, for example Cyanogenmod, it flashes it in 10 secons, and when I reboot it gets stuck on the lg splash. When trying to restore my anandroid backup witch I made with the same CWM 4.0.0.5, I get an error: Can't mount /system!
What can i do? Do I need making partitions? Are there HBOOTS in lg optimus 2x?
Thanks
update cmw version to 5... that should fix your problem

Really thanks for your reply, but my problem is that i can't even flash a ROM or restoring my own backup I made. How can i update it?? Thanks very very much!
Flash ext4 converter from the recovery, and then flash the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037751
And I am assuming the backup you are trying to restore is from a stock rom, then flash backtoext3 from recovery and then restore.
Both files are available from the same thread.

And also don't forget to update CWM to v5, install rom manager from market and flash the latest recovery

Ok, so really really thanks for your answer. the backup is from the original LG ROM...does that change something??
Thanks!
Yup, the stock rom is ext3 while cm7 is ext4. Its just two different filesystems.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
So, the steps I have to follow are:
1. Flash ext4 converter
2. Flash a new ROM
3. Flash CWM 5.x.x.x with Rom Manager
And, whenever I want to restore my backup, I need to flash before the backtoext3 patch.
Is that right? Sorry for being so stupid!

You need to first wipe data, cache & go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
You need to flash backtoext3 only if the backup you are trying restore is from a stock rom or a rom which is using ext3 filesystem.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
Ok, so finally I have successfully restored my backup. I flashed the ext3 patch and done. Now I have installed CWM 5.0.1.6 Is this recovery ok?
Now, before doing anything, I want to know what steps do I have to follow to install a ROM.
Even having this new recovery, do I have to flash the 4ext flasheable to install roms like Cyanogen, Thanatos, Miui...?
Thanks!

I am having v5.0.2.0, Check the rom manager if there is an update if not than that recovery should be fine.
To install a rom you need to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. After that just flash the rom.
You don't need to flash ext4 zip, because ext4 based roms will automatically convert the system to ext4.

I think this thread should help you. An all in on place.
- Make sure that you read and understand complete instruction on the particular ROM developer's thread. Pay attention to the possible problems and solutions.
- Nandroid backup. Backup other user data and applications
- Make sure that you wipe/format the /system partition before flashing a ROM. I was not doing this untill recently. Ever since I started formatting /system partion, not getting SODs and BSODs like before
- The CWM you are using now is bit outdated. Look for the latest version - I think it is cwm-5.0.2.7-R2. Check out this link.

So, I have a problem.
I have rooted Optimus 2X and installed CWM- based recovery v6.0.1.5 and I wanted to give CM10 a shot...
But, when I tried to install zip it said installation aborted, so I thought maybe it was the recovery, but when I try to find another recovery in rom manager, it says that my phone isn't on the list...
What should I do?

If you come from any ICS with unlocked bootloader (Topogigi, Carburano, etc...):
1) grab the recovery zip and the cm10 zip attached to this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1602866&d=1356865579)
2) enable debug in developer options (if you haven't already of course)
3) connect the usb cable to your box
4) copy the two zips in your external sd card
5) reboot to recovery by holding power and volume down
5) wipe data/cache, then go to mounts and format system (just to be safe)
6) flash the recovery zip file you previously slapped in the external sd card
7) reboot recovery from the advanced menu
8) flash the cm10 zip as usual

Not sure your bootloader was locked or not. I suggest, you refer to AIO toolkit thread in dev section and start afresh.

CM10 for which bootloader? If you are on the ICS bootloader, you cannot install official CM builds. You will have to get Pengus' unofficial build for the new bootloader (which has lots of bugs fixed anyway).

Firstly, you will probably have to restore your partitions with the AIO tool now you have flashed a zip for the wrong bootloader.
When you have done that, look in the development section for roms for the new bootloader - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1002
I recommend tonyp's Paranoid Android- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097807
Or Pengus's CM10 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058231
There are CM10.1 roms for the new bootloader available as well. Just have a look in the development section

Hi everyone!
Maybe I have a basic doubt, but because I don´t understand, I like have clear this. Yesterday I decided root, replace the recovery and install a custom rom on my Note (N7000). I choose the kernel from PhilZ and install following the recommended method (very easy).
After this all work perfect, I do a full backup of actual system (this is nandroid backup, right?) and after this I install the CM 10.1.3 that also work well. I not rememeber exactly, but following some steps to install this ROM I do before or after install this procedures also: WIPE/DATA FACTORY RESET, WIPE CACHE, WIPE DALVIK CACHE. This procedures are correct?
The device work well, but I have a big doubt because if I boot into recovery I not see anymore the PhilZ touch interface, now I see:
CWM Based Recovery 6.0.3.6
that is other recovery, right? Is normal this behavior? I not understand in what step I change the PhilZ recovery to CWM.
Thanks in advance for all info and help to clear this
This is the CWM recovery same as philz, the difference is that, the version you used before.. It was touch, and after flashing the recovery changes as the CM 10.1 flashed their own kernel...
so it is the same recovery, do not worry
and yes, AOSP/CM roms have their specific kernels, so please do not flash philz on the current recovery...
and one more thing... the process is correct, do a wipe data and factory reset and then format system and preload
Thanks NoteboyTech, yes, I know that work basically like PhilZ, but my main doubt is in what moment of all procedures are installed the CWM Based Recovery. This mean that this CWM are installed in the moment that I install the CM 10.1.3?
Now if I like keep the PhilZ, is safe if I boot again in recovery and install from the .zip file from PhilZ again? or not recommend this?
The wipe: I need made the wipe factory, cache and dalvik before each time that I like restore a ROM or also kernel?
Thanks!!!
You are using a cm rom. Philz kernel Tw doesn't work with cm rom. If you flash philz on cm, phone won't boot.
There is no need to wipe if you just changing the kernel.
If you want the touch recovery, you can install nx kernel which includes philz recovery and is a cm based kernel.

Now I believe that understand a bit more
Perfect. This mean that if I like keep the PhilZ as recovery I need install the nx kernel, right?
Now, if for example in the future I like try one new version or actual version of my stock ROM, is safe to download from Samsung Updates website, install from .zip like I do with the CM, and ready, I have the stock ROM. Is correct?
OK, I not need wipe anything for kernel installations, but yes for ROMs, right?
Only data/factory and cache or also dalvik?
This wipes I need made before install the ROM or after?
Thanks for all!

Some days back, with the PhilZ recovery, I can do very easy.
To restore a nandroid backup I need use the same recovery or the generated files are compatible with all recovery?

CWM 6 versions are compatible.. it can be restored using any recovery.
Why can you make a nandroid back on 6.0.3.6?

Can be possible that I detect that after I made all these changes (change the recovery, root, install new rom, etc) the Serial number of the device has changed? I can change from any area to the original one?
Option to backup efs is in the philz recovery. Or you can use ktool from the playstore to backup efs. This has to be done as soon as you root. There is no point of backup if the imei has already changed.

No, the IMEI is correct, the change is in the SERIAL NUMBER of the device, not IMEI. This can be fixed writing the correct serial number?

Ktool is a good tool to backup efs.

Well, it so happened that I was on omni rom 4 3.1 with cocore kernel twrp recovery and I saw in a thread that we can theme our recovery by adding a ui.zip file in the theme folder of twrp. Ever since then, my phone boots in recovery only (without the three button combination). Plus in twrp, the theme is applied but I get a super zoomed view of the recovery so I can't restore nandroid as well. Of course, I used my last resort and brought back my phone to stock through odin but the problem is what did I do wrong and what should I take care of to prevent this sort of **** from happening in the future?

Why did you use the co-core kernel for a cm ROM??
The rom shouldn't boot if you did this..
BTW You are getting the super zoomed recovery maybe because you are using the ui.zip designed for a mdpi/ldpi screen resolution.

Do not mess with something that you are not sure that works on our phone. If you read that someone that has I9070 phone is using something, you can use it. Searching and using stuff from other phones can make you mess like that you got.
Omni MUST use its kernel, you CAN'T use COCORE on it. You will end up with a bootloop if you use COCORE on OMNI.
What you need to do is to flash stock FIRMWARE with ODIN. Download CoCore kernel, UNPACK it and use KERNEL.BIN.MD5 (copy to phone memory). Install UKF and ROOT EXPLORER. Open Universal kernel flasher and follow the procedure to install COCORE. Install, reboot and you have permanent recovery (CWM or TWRP depends what CoCore version you choose).
Perhaps you guys misunderstood me.. I did not flash cocore on Omni.. I flashed cocore on stock and then I flashed omni rom.. so I guess I have permanent recovery..
Im sorry if I sound like a noob but hey, every expert was once a noob, Im learning
I agree to the part of messing with things that people Dont use on our phone, I'll see to that in future..

By the way, why did you tell the rom should not boot? Is it because the cocorekernel is only supported on android 4.1 or some other reason?

The recovery in our phone is dependent on the kernel.
So if the kennel changes, the recovery changes..

custom recovery in cm11
So if i flash from stock rom jb to cm11 (tc) , the recovery changes to cwm , no matter if u had CoCore+cwm or CoCore+ TWRP in stock rom.
What happens to the kernel in cm11?
i have done nandroid backup with TWRP, but since recovery changes to cwm in cm11 , will i no longer be able to restore the backup ?
Would it be better to do a nandroid backup with CoCore+Cwm then?

So if i flash from stock rom jb to cm11 (tc) , the recovery changes to cwm , no matter if u had CoCore+cwm or CoCore+ TWRP in stock rom.
What happens to the kernel in cm11?
i have done nandroid backup with TWRP, but since recovery changes to cwm in cm11 , will i no longer be able to restore the backup ?

If you flash stock JB firmware you get stock recovery (not CWM or TWRP). And you can't use nandroid backup of JB if you are on CM11 because Preload partition is used for SWAP, and it will be non usable for JB. You must flash script to repartition it or flash stock JB firmware. If you have TWRP backup, flash stock JB, root it, install CoCore with TWRP recovery and there you go...

Thank you. So i understand that nandroid backup is useful only when something goes wrong during the process of upgrading from stock JB to CM11 .
one more doubt, I have also backed up app user data + system data with Titanium Backup Pro. That can be used to restore all data after i upgrade to cm11 right? Will Titanium Backup Pro take care of efs ( related to IMEI no.) if something goes wrong after flashing cm11. Btw i have also backed up efs with Samsung Tools app.
Also could you enlighten me about my first question in previous post " what happens to kernel in cm11" ?

CM11 ROM 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 is the result of an update of version 4.1.2 of Android Jelly Bean. If right now, you have a backup system and applications that have been stored in the system when you are Jelly Bean. Then you want to restore the backup to the CM11, then I guess you will get an error. Because the system is Jelly Bean, and Kitkat system is 2 different things in the context of the "system". So you can do this while using TB Pro applications only restore data only, such as: backup contacts, sms / mms, third-party applications such as, apk, application of playstore etc.. Not the whole system ROM previously, JB.
Related to the kernel, system jelly bean, and kitkat system, has different kernel. In this case the kernel is owned by CM11 ROM, not the stock ROM 4.4.2/4.4.3 by samsung. CM11 kernel 4.4.2/4.4.3 allows us to perform GPU OC and CPU OC/UC/OV/UV In the default kernel Stock ROM (JB), you will not be able to do it, unless you replace it with a custom kernel, as the Cocore kernel. Hopefully it can be more clear.
