there is thousands of ways, I don't want to bay the unlock code.
can Anyone show me the guide how to unlock my phone?

The link I provided and the link to the app thread in that link has all the info you need..... The only way it could get any easier is if you had someone else physically do it for you. I'm unsure if anyone could explain it better than that.

Try downloading a program called Unlock Root (just google it) that should root your phone.
Then download Galaxy S Unlock from the Google Play Store and that should unlock your phone for any sim. (You also need busy box)
Good luck

[Q] How to use Captivate on T mobile?

Alright I did some searching around and havent found a definitive answer. I'm trying to get my friends Captivate to work on T mobile. This is possible, correct?
Also... Do you have to be rooted and on a rom to do this? If so, what is the EASIEST most updated way to do that? My friend is on stock and I would assume on the latest OTA. If you could help I would greatly appreciate it. I can always help anyone that needs help with the Samsung Epic!
The data won't work on t mobile.the best he can get will be edge. All you have to do is root and unlock. There are one click root programs and tons of guides. After that you can unlock it with apps in the market

Rooting and unlocking are two different things.. so be sure on what you really want.. Do you have froyo or gingerbread? Super one click usually works on froyo and not so for gb..

i only need it unlocked mate, not to bothered about rooting i only need an unlock code then i take it.. do u kno where i can get 1
There's already a thread about unlocking so I guess you really need both, rooting and unlocking. I'll provide you the links once I get onto a PC..

help rooting Verizon Tab

i picked up a used first generation(7" SCH-I800) VZW Galaxy Tab on Craigslist a couple weeks ago and have had a series of problems while trying to root it or even connect it to my computer.
im looking for Verizon specific instructions if anyone can make that happen.
i have a Windows 7 64bit PC and every time i try to install the drivers it fails. i do NOT have the Kies option in the USB connect menu in settings, only Media Play and Mass Storage. i downloaded Kies from Samsung website and installed it, and again the driver failed to install properly.
i know theres a bunch of people out there with rooted/rom'd Verizon branded Tabs. i'd love to figure out how you guys are doing it.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
nothing? nobody here has a rooted Verizon Tab?
I've got the same tab. Been trying to root it for weeks. Z4 wont work, superoneclick hangs and the tab turns off but only goes into standby and doesnt really get rooted. I would deff make a donation to anyone who can help, I cant wait to get rid of all the verizon bloatware on this thing!

Im going to be real with y'all this to me is the most weird root i have ever had to do. I have rooted every android device i have owned with no problem but this just doesn't make sense to me. How do I root this blasted thing? No one can give me a straight answer some say zroot that doesn't work some say superoneclick that doesn't work. Is it the fact that its the sch 1800 from verizon? I don't understand why this device is so difficult to root can some one point me to a video or a direct like so i can read up on it cause its not making sense to me.
Thanks

How do i unlock my Ace's network?

Hi guys...i'm from Greece and a friend of mine from the UK sent me a new Ace he bought as a present. I dont know if this device can only be used in the English O2 carrier but when the phone boots it shows this carrier's logo. When i enter my pick it says that i have to enter the network lock control key. How do i get it? Is there any way to bypass this? I read about a website that you must pay them and give them your imei to send u the code but i dont wanna pay so much money. Is there any way to unlock it for free? Do i have to root it, or even flash another custom ROM? How do i do it?
Thanks in advance guys!!

Free Way's to do a sim unlock are very very very very very very VERY dangerous therefor avoid them at all cost! pay 15 euros and get him unlock!
Otherwise you'll pay 250 to repair him os simple end up with an styled brick.
Removing carrier trash is other thing ... but that is far easyer and and safer to do!
Take care
What is the most trustworthy site to pay to unlock it?

Go to a shop ... Just dont go to your carrier.
But by a site go to samfirmware ... In the unlock section

If you can follow instructions to a tee try the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335548
I did it fine.
(I assume no liability if you cannot follow instructions)
As someone else said, try Sammobile.

Flashing/Installing a ROM or Kernel in your Xperia X8 is completely different from SIM-Unlocking it. I donĀ“t know where you read that Flashing/Installing a ROM or Kernel would SIM-Unlock your phone. No ROM or Kernel is able to do that. In order to SIM-Unlock your device you need to pay money. There are two methods of doing it, buying a Network Unlock Code or downloading a program, connecting your phone to your PC with your USB Cable an paying for credits to unlock your phone. In my opinion you should go with the USB Cable one since it is cheaper and faster (but a little more complicated). BTW before you ask, there is no way of SIM-Unlocking you phone for free, believe me I have searched.

I don't think he got does Usernames and Passwords in a legal way (Not that i care, i would used them if i was able to). Any way he inst posting any more Usernames and Passwords so that method is useless. Unless you pay for credits, like i said before.
Read this: https://loja.vodafone.pt/homephone/condicoes-de-desbloqueio
If you meet the criteria you can get it unlocked for free.
