1. Where you find cwm.zip can you link me that page (not file)
2.Are you able to entre in download mode
3.You were on which ROM while doing this?
i downloaded cwm.zip with the busybox from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647148
yes i can enter the download mode
i am on the stock ics rom (which i upgraded the 2.3 to it)
please help me
and thanks for the fast reply
First you didn't know that zip is not available now, and you must have this which you downloaded earlier, that zip is abandonas it proved to use unsafe and can brick device.
Not only that, you souldn't have to wipe anything on stock ICS.
Anyway if you are able to enter download mode then flash any GB ROM you have already with you, otherwise download from my signature (pre rooted) and flash with Odin
ok i wasn't know that, anyway i downloaded odin, what did i need else? what you mean by "download from my signature (pre rooted) and flash with Odin"?
i didn't understand this sentence, did it mean that i need specific type of rom to flash it from odin?
thank you a lot
Yes download this
http://d-h.st/HJM
Extract it and flash with PC odin.

ok i see the link in your signature and i am downloading the rom, and when it finish i must flash it with odin? and it must work? and when it work how can i get ics again? can i update system from android settings?
please reply thanks
with my respect
See everything is on your luck, I hope you get device working again with above said ROM.
But remember even after flashing ROM successfully, it may not boot up, dont worry. enter to recovery(vol up+hole+power) and wipe cache, delvik cache and data. then it should fine.
But if while flashing ROM, if it stuck then your luck is not with you and chances will be high you have bricked device.
Let report back, n Me or someone will guide you for next step.

if it is depends on my luck, so it is a problem anyway thank u a lot and wish me a good luck.
B'coz what you did was totally wrong and risky, and if any damage you had can only rule out once your device gets life again. So pray before flashing and GoodLuck from ourside.

yes it was been a wrong, and i didn't have the enough experience to do like this step,
i install the ore rooted rom (in your signature) and i flash it, before it finish flashing it stop and then give an error, and when i turn on the phone to the recovery mode it give a message "firmware upgrade encourtted an issue, please select recovery mode is kies and try again" what can i do please.
thanks
You should have noted down the error on that flash before you went to recovery mode. Every error is an essential part and you should take a note of it as this can lessen your upgrade issues.
So here's what your going to do. Turn the phone to Airplane Mode.
Try to reflash again the pre prooted GB room in download mode Once your successful doing it, download stock ICS firmware (in your region) from www.samfirmware.com. Don't use OTA updates as this will mostly fail. Just use PC KIES to update your phone back to 4.0.4 ICS.
Take it one step at a time and again next time, remember try not to be in a hurry doing it. It takes patience and a bit of luck in flashing and upgrading.
Yes as above said, reflash ROM by putting device in download mode
hello again
in the begining thank you for your help
i fixed my phone, in a shop specialized for these cases but i dont know how.
and my phone now returned to the stock ics rom.4.0.3
i would ask if i can flash a custom rom (jelly bean 4.1 for example) and what are the safety steps that can i follow to avoid any another brick to my phone? what do you advise?
thanks again.
if u on ics u need to flash a safe kernel like philz or hydracore. that's it. Now u r good to go
Is there any danger if i flash any of the kernels u mentioned? And does the phone remain working after i flash the kernel? And after i flash the kernel what is the next step? Flash the rom? Or there is any step required before?
Thanks a lot
yes the phone will work after flashing any of the mentioned kernels.
philz is the best for ics as it can be installed from stock recovery and it's safe and gives u root and cwm
then u can boot into cwm and do a factory reset format system, data, wipe cache and dalvik then install the new rom.
Hello Folks,
First I have to say that I watched the noob video and read everything about E:Error in /mnt/sdcard/cm-10.0.0.-galaxysmtd.zip (Status 7) on this forum and what google gave me.
My situation:
PC OS is Windows 7 64bit (if someone needs to know)
Phone:
Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000
SSN: I9000GSMH
What happend:
I bought a used phone about two months ago with latest installed stock rom 2.3.5 it is. Then i downloaded cm-10-20121126-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd and followed the instructions on wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide. I installed CWM with Heimdall Suite. Everything worked well.
Today I decided to install a newer version of CM, I downloaded the cm-10-20121210-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd and cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd and copied them both on the phone memory. I turned off the phone and turned it on in recovery mod, and I got the recovery mode that was on cm-10-20121126-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd installed. It wasn't the standard CWM that I installed with Heimdall Suite. I wiped with it data and cache and installed cm-10-20121210-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd and then rebooted the phone. But the phone got stuck and didn't want to reboot. So i tried to go to recovery mod again to reinstall the cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd but the phone couldn't access the recovery mod anymore.
After that I reinstalled with Heimdall Suite the ClockwordMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 SpeedMod Kernel like the first time I did. and successfully booted to recovery mod and again wiped cache and data and tried to install cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd when i got the error
This is the image, just copy/paste in address bar.
imageshack.us/f/685/07032008448.jpg
So, now my phone has no OS installed.
There are some other issues too, I can't mount my external sd card in CWM, why, I don't know, so I only have cm-10-20121210-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd and cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd on my phone memory to install.
I would really really like if someone could help me to solve my problem, I have no other phone. And please when you tell to install something give me the needed link because I really downloaded a lot of things that didn't work.

you having the wrong CWm installed, you can go to this link to download the cf-root kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 hope this will help .
BTW when flashing JB from GB you need to flash CM9 then follow by CM10, if you can try flash it from GB 2.3.6 (E.g xxjvu)
i try flashing JB from GB is work if i flash twice but i got missing IMEI. so i suggest you following this step to flash.
GB(stock rom with ROOT) - ICS(CM7) - JB(CM10)

First off all thanks for helping.
I tried this one:
CF-ROOT-4.4-I9000BGJW5-1187857
CF-Root-4.4-I9000BOJW6-CL1177078
CF-Root-JP6-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1 (this one didn't want to start recovery at all)
CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS
all I got from all of them is this

Member Chainfire said "THIS IS NOT A ROM - it is only a kernel. You need to have a firmware already on your device"
I don't know really what that means. Probably that I have to install something else too, but what ?
Please can you tell me ?
And which of these CF-Roots is the right one, or the newest one, or how do recognize that ?
Thanks everyone who helps me.

Well, I solved my problem, now i have cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd ROM installed. If someone has this problem, this is one way how to solve it (but doesn't mean it's the best one).
If you have no ROM installed on your I9000 and don't know which kernel to use, try this way:
Watch this video on YouTube that user "Puggered UK" uploaded:
youtube.com/watch?v=iRnH13sRAIc
- You can skip to 1.52 because you don't have any ROM on your phone, and download the EZ Odin package from the link in the About section (4shared.com/archive/TuHUfVjA/EZOdin.html).
- Start EZ Odin, put the PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC file in the right box, connect your phone in download mode to the PC and press START, and wait till the process is complete.
- After a while you should have Android 2.3.? installed on your phone.
- Update Google market to Google play, then update ROM Manager, and start ROM Manager. Choose to Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery, choose your phone and flash it.
- Copy on your internal sd memory cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd that you downloaded from CyanogenMod web site.
- Restart your phone in Recovery mod, wipe data/cache, and install cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd from internal sd card.
- Then, when it's done restart the phone, and do the last step again in Cyanogen CW recovery.
- After it's done, restart the phone and you will have CM 10 on your phone installed.
Or just watch the video and you will se what to do.

Well, I help you as much as I can and know, just write me where you stuck. And if you have some difficulties explaining it in English, dann kannst du mir auch auf deutsch schreiben, das verstehe ich auch
I had this status 7 thing 2 yesterday while installing cm10. It also seemed I couldnt get into recovery. What I had to do is flash the zip 4 times. First time it got stuck at boot.
So I took battery out & try to get in to recovery (volume up+home button+power button & -->release buttons the moment u see bootanimation<--) but it started bootlooping/got stuck again.
So I took battery out again, did the 3 button combo for the second time & I waited a little longer, a minute maybe 2 & it went to recovery. (I guess the first time it didnt went straight to recovery like it normally does, I wasnt patient enough). If not getting into recovery with waiting the first time just try to keep getting in recovery with 3 button combo & wait a couple of minutes. Eventually it does. I had the same thing 2 months ago coming from jb-->ics-->cm10, thats how I remembered.
Didnt wipe a thing just went straight to the zipfile & flashed it in total 4 or 5 times till it said install completed on the screen. Didnt wipe nothing in between the flashing
Then flashed gapps & voila

I tried like hundred times or more, but every time with the same result and I also tried with different kernels without success. Maybe some other error caused your status 7 error than mine. But anyway, it's always good to try all possibilities to resolve the problem.
Haha I went crazy not getting into recovery 2 months ago I did it at least 15 times till it eventually got into recovery. Weird cuz I released it the moment I saw cyanogen boot animation. I had to wait a lil longer after releasing so it seems & better timing maybe but only with flashing cm10 from stock. The error was the same tho I saw your picture

Unfortunately I wasn't that lucky, but I tell you something else. Now I know that no matter what I do and how badly i brick my phone I can always use that method to bring it to life back. So it's kind of final help that works if nothing else works
by the way did you apply sdcard:update zip? Or choose zip from sd card?

I choose zip from sd card because I forgot to rename the file before copying to sd card, and when I lost my bricked my phone it was already to late to rename it. But i don't think that that was the problem, I mean it's just a name string that has no meaning after all.
hey guys,
finally i made it...
thx adobih for your offer, but i'll try to do it in english...think(hope) my english is not that bad
so my problem was the following, slightly different from yours:
i bought a used Galaxy S I9000 for my girlfried as a christmas present cause her Galaxy Ace is the worst Android-phone i ever saw ^^
this "new" Galaxy S has never been rooted before, it never enjoyed a custom ROM - completely stock with 2.2.1 froyo ^^
Here is, what i did to get cm10 stable to work:
1. Updated android to latest official android 2.3.6 with Samsung Kies
2. then i followed the step "Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery" from here
--- ATTENTION: Heimdall 1.3.2 screwed things up (due to a bug i think, only download-mode was available afterwards), use Heimdall 1.3.1 to be safe
3. then i pushed cm 9.1 stable, cm 10.0 stable and latest gapps for 10.0 to the device
4. then i flashed cm 9.1 stable via CWM - an Error occured
5. then i selected "reboot system" in CWM (NOT "reboot recovery"!!)
6. device reboots and starts to install CM 9.1 Stable on its own
7. booted to the now "new" CWM installed by cm 9.1 zip
8. flashed cm 9.1 zip again
8. booted cm 9.1 normally, everything was working fine
9. booted into cwm
10. flashed cm 10.0 zip - an error occured
11. then i selected "reboot system" in CWM (NOT "reboot recovery"!!)
12. device reboots and starts to install CM 10.0 Stable on its own
13. booted to the now "new" CWM installed by cm 10.0 zip
14. flashed cm 10.0 zip again
15. a warning occured "incompatible filesystem, flash again to confirm"
16. flashed cm 10.0 zip again
17. booted cm 10.0 normally, everything was working fine
18. booted CWM again, flashed gapps
19. booted cm 10.0 normally, everything was working fine
I was not able to flash cm 10.0 directly after flashing codeworxs kernel with heimdall. think this is related to changed partition sizes and stuff...
device only booted to CWM again, i was not able to boot the system - bootloop. Once i tried to flash cm10, there was no success when trying to flash cm 9 after that.
i tried it 3-4 times to flash cm 10 directly with no success. i checked md5 sums of the downloaded files, but everything was fine.
the detour with cm 9.1 was the only way to get it to work.
after trying to flash cm10 directly it always screwed something and was not able to get any further.
to start again, i had to go back to stock with odin. For that i used these instructions and files. (its in german, but very well illustrated, so all of you should be able to follow the steps).
When starting from stock, you can follow the steps above and everything should be fine.
took me some hours to figure out the correct order of the steps....
this is a slightly different problem as the one in op, so i decided to provide my solution here.
the heimdall 1.3.2-bug occured with the i9000 of a friend of mine, too. only heimdall 1.3.1 did what it was supposed to.
for all people interested: i decided to flash semaphore kernel for better customization options....running pretty well
EDIT: thx to everybody in this thread posting your experiences, all together it pointed me to the solution.. THX!

More or less I think we both had the same problem, because I also used this link wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide and heimdall 1.3.2 for flashing my phone. Just it always finished successfully so I didn't realize it was the root of all problems. I used also then Odin from the youtube video that I posted in a few posts earlier, installed Android 2.3.6 and then installed ROM Manager from Google play, and used the app to flash to ClockworkMod Recovery. After that I installed directly CM10 stable with success, and without CM9 detour.
When my phone boots it only gets to the samsung logo
I am able to use the recoverymode and downloadmode.
Wiping data won´t work. Wiping cache works.
Can´t flash a CustomROM from my SDcard through CWM
I was able to connect my phone to the PC. ADB finds the phone but adb shell won´t work. (No such file or directory <2>)
How can I install either a regular Androidversion or a CustomROM now.
found this but only for Galaxy S3, so the files won´t help me

Download a Stock Rom from sammobile.com or one of the prerooted Roms (I always use a GB LC1 from bodivas for this) and install it with the PC version of Odin.
tried that, Odin stops at "NAND write start!!"
AW: Softbrick N7000 Need Help
What Rom did you have and what did you do before this happened?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Now I used a regular Android 4.0.4. ROM
Before that I tried with a 2.3.1 ROM. This is probably the reason for the trouble, isn´t it?

I wrote to download a new rom and to try it with Odin. 15 min later you said: did this.
So I want to ask: Did you really download a new Rom or did you use one you had already?
And what Rom exactly?
And what did you do before stopping at boot logo?

I was already downloading the 4.0.4. ROM. Because I read somewhere it´s not possible to go from ICS to Gingerbread.
The download just finished right after you answered and I tried. I am 100% sure i got the right ROM.
Before getting all these Problems, I wanted to get a CustomROM on my phone. Android 4.0.4 was installed at that point of time.
I rooted my phone and did a backup with CWM. Then i chose wipe data, while doing that I started to charge my phone (I don´t know if that matters). I didn´t see what happen exactly because i wasn´t looking at my phone all the time, but when i looked at it again there was only the charging sign shown. Then I tried to get into recoverymode again. This wouldn´t work. I tried to flash CWM with Odin which worked after some time. Then I tried to Wipe data and cache again. wipe data wouldn´t work. Wipe cache worked. I tried to install the backup. After waiting for more then 1 hour it looked like nothing happend and the installation was stuck. But the regular recovery of Android was installed.
Because flashing a ROM through CWM wouldn´t work, I tried to flash it through Odin. First time I tried with a Gingerbread Version. I was thinking, I don´t care which version as long as it works and try again to install a CustomROM from there on. Odin stopped at NAND Write Start!!. Tried it with the ICS Stock version. Same thing.
This is where I am at now
Did you use cwm.zip?
To use with Odin? No
When I started it from the regular Android Recoverymode? Yes
Don´t you think this might be exactly the problem I have?

I was already downloading the 4.0.4. ROM. Because I read somewhere it´s not possible to go from ICS to Gingerbread.
The download just finished right after you answered and I tried. I am 100% sure i got the right ROM.
Before getting all these Problems, I wanted to get a CustomROM on my phone. Android 4.0.4 was installed at that point of time.
I rooted my phone and did a backup with CWM. Then i chose wipe data, while doing that I started to charge my phone (I don´t know if that matters). I didn´t see what happen exactly because i wasn´t looking at my phone all the time, but when i looked at it again there was only the charging sign shown. Then I tried to get into recoverymode again. This wouldn´t work. I tried to flash CWM with Odin which worked after some time. Then I tried to Wipe data and cache again. wipe data wouldn´t work. Wipe cache worked. I tried to install the backup.

I was following the official cyanogen mod wiki guide and everything was fine up until step 6. I couldn't boot into recovery mode, but I could boot normally. So after turning the phone off to try again, I realized I am now stuck in a boot loop. I can boot into download mode perfectly but now ODIN doesn't recognize when the phone is plugged in. Should I be worried? I have no idea what to do..
Thanks in advance, if you need more info feel free to ask!
Original problem (bootloop) was solved by using Heimdall, as was every subsequent problem I encountered in this thread. Many thanks to all!

Don't worry, it doesn't sound bad.
Can you enter CWM recovery? If yes, wipe 3 times (data/factory reset - cache - dalvik cache under "advanced") and reboot. It should do it.
If only download mode is accessible, you must flash a stock ROM with PIT file which will do proper re-partition of the /system again, root it and install CWM. After that you can flash again CM10.2. Don't use the CM site, use the thread of developer pawitp, just flash also compatible Gapps version right after the rom while still in recovery.
Best stock ROM as basic for clean flashing of CyanogenMod seems to be Froyo with SpeedMod kernel. Check this thread, all download links are there and working. If it helps you, post in that thread that it worked:

The speedy reply is appreciated, however Odin refuses to acknowledge my phone for some reason. The device is recognized by my PC, the drivers are installed, after all everything worked seamlessly the first time. Any ideas?

Is USB debugging enabled?
Otherwise, leave your i9000 turned off, run Odin and prepare all files first and turn the i9000 on into download mode just short before connecting and flashing. The i9000 has kind of "sleep mode" in download mode so if you run it into the download mode and wait few minutes, nothing will happen anymore.
also try a different USB socket on your computer
Samsung kies is killed???
No amount of port/wire changing seemed to work with Odim. However I followed a tut on youtube to flash with Heimdall, and my phone finally booted up with froyo 2.3.3
My original plan was to downgrade from Cyanogen mod, which my older brother put on a few years ago. The phone was beginning to lag and stuff, so yesterday I finally decided to do something about it. The PLAN was, to downgrade to froyo, and then upgrade to Cyanogen mod 10.2, however after getting froyo, my phone went a boot loop (hence this thread).
So I'm asking you all, what is my next step? I'm usually not this helpless, but I can't afford to screw this up again, and I'm honestly a bit scared to try anything without your say. As I said, I am now on froyo2.3.3, and the phone seems okay.
I'm looking through the file manager, and there's loads of cyanogenmod files in the root directory from before. I sorta wanna clean everything out before upgrading. Where should I go from here?

Excellent BTW, 2.3.x is Gingerbread, not Froyo. Upgrading to CM10.2 from Froyo with SpeedMod kernel works very well. Here is a step-by-step guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444308
You are good adviced to read carefully, not just briefly. So you will void problems.
It could be, that your Samsung USB driver hasn't been installed properly. Installing Heimdall drivers has removed Samsung USB driver from my PC some months ago so be sure to have all working before flashing any new build.
If you flash now some Froyo build over your Gingerbread, you don't need PIT file and re-partition. Leave that field empty and don't touch any Odin options (re-partition will remain unchecked). Use compatible Odin version.

You're a hero! So I am now following that guide, and here are the steps I think I need first;
Root & install CWM recovery: turn off your i9000 and download speedmod-kernel-k13e-500hz.tar
Run Odin as admin, set "speedmod-kernel-k13e-500hz.tar" under PDA. Reboot and reset time checked, re-partition unchecked(!!)
start your i9000 in download mode with 3-button-combo and connect it via USB cable
if <Added!> and ID:COM port number are displayed in Odin, click on "Start"
after only few seconds kernel will be flashed and your i9000 will automatically reboot
Enjoy, now you can install zips of the CM build and compatible gapps for it via CWM recovery, SpeedMod kernel features CWM version 2xxx so after first attempt to install CM.zip it will upgrade just the CWM recovery to version 6xxx, so after that you can really flash the CMbuild.zip
How would I go about doing this process with Heimdall, as Odin is really not an option anymore
you could also try Mobile Odin Pro (google it) then choose the flashing kernel from here http://ndroidplay.blogspot.com/2012/08/mobile-odin-flash-kernels.html?m=1 then just flash the custom rom from Mobile Odin.
EDIT: this is the flashing kernel for i9000 http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...9/9/8/7/MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v2.0.zip
---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------
actually to use Mobile Odin i forgot you need a phone that working and can boot into the OS to install it so may not be an option for you.
After many hours of errors and whatnot, I have finally managed to upgrade my phone to Cyanogen Mod 11-20131207-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd.
However, there's no play store!
Apparently I'm running android 4.4.1 and CM 11, therefore none of the gapp files are applicable?
I tried installing the latest one, only to get the error: (bad)
Did you use the latest nightly from today (20131208) ???
And the gapps for CM 11 ??? ==> http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps

I might write up a more in-depth tut later on for those as clueless to the scene as I am, however for now the whole process can be summed up in a few major steps;
Down/Upgrade to GingerBread (Android 2.3-2.3.2)
Root
Install ClockWorkMod
Wipe cache/data
Install Cyanogenmod
Perfect, good to hear, that your phone works as "desgined" :good:

Hi everybody,
just got an old yet effective SGS and I wanted root and get rid of touchwizz and all the crap from my carrier
I was unable to boot into DL mode, i tried everything, so I had to do it with adb reboot
I never had to use Odin to do my hacking with android so i'm not used to it but short story : I rename my rom.zip into rom rom.tar, it failed and all I have is this now :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wk42jbmp33a3ftu/IMG_20140715_152917.jpg
Also I need to unsimlock, flashing a new rom will also do the trick right ?
thanks
What you just did is bricking your phone. It it was a zip file you need to install it from the recovery. Renaming it is not the way it works. I'm not sure if now you can fix it. Sorry, man
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Do you know what I can at least try?
If you can get into download mode:
Follow sections 2 and 3 in this guide.
If you can't:
Follow this guide and after that do what I sails to do if you have download mode.
Does 3-button-combo not work to get into the download mode?

so i tried the resistance thing but i was unable to find all of the part required so i bought one of these already done solution thingy
It worked, I'm now able to boot into DL mode
I also succesfully install a random 2.x rom from an unknown european carrier, no root, lots of crap installed, and simlocked
How do i get from that to my CM 11 rom ? (this time it's in .tar format via 7zip ^^')
I tried via Odin in PDA it says fail right away
what can I do ?
thanks fr all the answers guys
@Idealith simlock has nothing to do with the firmware.
You need now any root kernel for that firmware, it has to be compatible with the intiframs of your 2.x version and it will give you a custom recovery.
There you can flash first CM10.2 to get the modified partition sizes and KK ready recovery and after that you can flash CM11
IMHO, the new Mackay ICS 2014 rom based on CM9 is a lot faster than any KitKat and works better on the i9000

my question about the rom still applies cause this one is awful
but with what does it have to do then ?

It was perfectly normal behavior, as after flashing the zip from CM, it will in firat step upgrade your recovery to TWRP 2.2.2.0
As you have wiped already before, it would be perfectly fine to just flash the rom.zip in the new TWRP recovery, and your gapps right afterwards. The recovery upgrade is totally common on the i9000 as first step.
The i9000 can easily be unbricked by flashing a stock image with Odin.

I suppose my phone has been unbricked I made a 2.3 stock rom work
What i do now :
I flash the stock rom, go back to DL mode, flash the recovery, take the battery off, boot back in recovery, wipe everything ( do I really have to wipe system and all ?), select the ROM, nd once I'm in TWRP i reselect than same ROM
for the cm9 based mackay one it keep rebooting over and over again
for CM 10.2 it says the encryption failed and I need to factory reset, then nothing works

Yes, that would be correct procedure. To install CM9 you will have to format data, cache and dalvik cache.
If you have never had a JVU or JVZ firmware installed, it is likely that you still have a Froyo bootloader which could be reason of the problems with Android 4.xx

Either by flashing a whole JVU or JVZ stock firmware, or by flashing a bootloader only.

Ask your carrier, I assume the phone contract isn't new anymore (or expired) so you'll get unlock code for free. Here in Europe one can obtain the unlock code after 2 years for free.
Otherwise you can ask one of the online unlock services, it costs usually around 15-20$ to get the code
