Hi everyone, i'm just looking if there is a way for unlocking a s3 Mini from home. I have seen some sites like "http://samsunggeeks.us/" and I don't know if it works as it should. Is it too hard? Some stores in my city charge up to 50USD to unlock this phone but i guess is not that hard to do it by myself. What do I need? what should i Do?

Hey there guys. Please don't be angry for making another ****ty "how to unlock G1" thread. I wanted to post in the recent one, but i guess it got closed.
Well here is my question. I'm about to trade my TyTn II for G1. The problem is that the G1 is bought in Austria(T-Mobile) and i live in Slovenia. If i'm gonna call T-Mobile what should i say? My english isn't all that great, but i think i can handle it. The only problem is, if they are gonna speak German...
Lets say, they speak english. What should i say? I don't think you just say:" hey could you give me the code to unlock my G1?"
Maybe i'm a little annoying, but if there is anyone who is willing to help, i will be very grateful.

Think the policy is a lil different in other countries other than the US. We would normally say we are going out of the country so we need to unlock it to use an alternate sim. But in the UK they charge a fee unless you have been a customer for over a certain amount of time. I know its alot longer than the 90 days we have.
So there is no way to unlock it?
Edit: This is legit right? http://www.unlock-tmobileg1.com/
Cause if there isn't other way i'll just pay those 19€. That isn't so expensive.

My advice is buy one off eBay. Reasoning being, any website like that can make all the fake testimonies they want, and you could get screwed very easily. If you go to ebay you can choose a seller with good feedback who is clearly legit. I think I got mine from GSMcredits or something...

Thanks for the advice! That really helped me. I went to search over Ebay and found some interesting offers. And they are actually cheaper then the site i gave you link before!
Anyway, i think this is 100% legit, since this seller is very popular.

Is this gonna work on Europe G1, that was bought in Austria from T-Mobile(doh)?

Calling T-Mobile only works if you are a current customer. If you aren't (and I assume that is the case) then find someone who is to call for you.

As long as they give you the correct code it will work on any G1, so you should be fine. That seller looks legit, due to the high rating too.

Thanks for the answer! I'm getting my G1 on Monday then!
Yay. I got my white G1 today and i bought a code of ebay from the guy mentioned few posts above. Payed 10€ and got the code within 15min. Phone is now unlocked and i can't be more satisfied! G1 is awesome
Sweet, I had to unlock mine the first week cuz tmobile gets bad service here. The first site you posted is where I got my code, so they are legit. And don't worry about rooting and flashing roms because it wont mess up your unlocked status.

Cool. Thanks for the info!
Just thought I'd add that I've (just) used the guy mentioned above (ebay profile link) to have my UK G1 unlocked and it worked just fine.
The code came within 10 minutes, tested and works OK.
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Can anyone recommend somewhere to unlock the X8 without having to take out a bank loan please?
Everywhere I have found so far costs a lot of money!
Any help appreciated! Thanks.

If you can root it you can unlock too I think try to search in X10 forums not ahve big differences from x10 mini pro
Not every site does the X8 though even if they do the X10\mini. Maybe it's because it's a newer phone? $40 to unlock a phone is too much!

bitye are you sure you can unlock it if you root the system? my wild guess is that the network lock trigger must be somewhere within the system, or at least the system can access it, therefore it pops up. does anyone know where this file can be found and how to edit it?
i've been searching the hell out of forums and never found any info relating to that. please share
I had my X8 unlocked by http://www.htccode.com/, was unlocked within 10 mins of payment
what network was your phone locked to?
did they send you software to unlock your phone with or did you send imei and they sent you an unlock code to enter
my phone was origionally locked to o2 - UK
did they send you software to unlock your phone with or did you send imei and they sent you an unlock code to enter?
basically they send you the software for the phone, but they do remote session you for a min, was a bit dubious at first but all was good
i tried that through someone else but didnt work and said remote dongle server not working, were you given credits to unlock? if so do you know how many you had/used to unlock?
they dealt with the unlock remotely, I just sat and waited till it was completed
well its worth a go for the price.
but i do advise u wait till online supports online, it cost me $40.00 USD initially see here http://www.htccode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3160
were they online today when you did it then?
it isnt working for me but then i only paid 20$ because thats the link i had, do u reckon i need to pay another 20$ to have a total of 30 credits?
they were online the night i done it, sorry i should have said that sooner, erm i'd suggest messaging them regaurding that, i'm sure you would be able to get it unlocked with the additional $20 :\
anyone know what the hours are for the live support on htc code?
For anyone in the UK
$40.00 USD = £25.1969 GBP at time of posting...
£25.82 through paypal to be more precise.
Hehe I have no idea get it unlocked in the end?
yeah should have it unlocked tomorrow, they sent me all the remote software stuff and all the login details, i'll report back tomorrow.
Hiya guys, I have a problem with a friends Galaxy S & i am looking for some help.
She has gone & locked herself out of her Galaxy S & asked me for help as she knows nothing about Android. I told her to just sign in with her google account & it will sort itself out, This is the point she gave me a blank look, turns out she skipped setting an account up due to not wanting any spam on her e-mails. (Yer i had no idea what to say to her when she said that, i was more confused with her logic! )
So i said as long as she doesn't mind losing all her data/contacts etc i can get the phone working again, Thus she agreed & has left me with the phone & this is where the problems began, The 3 button combination doesn't work. I pursume as its a 3UK branded Galaxy S & they have there own loading animation that they took this feature out
I found another thread with more or less the same problem (Here) but nothing in there works.
So i am left holding a Galaxy S that i have no idea how to recover, So my final shot & getting this working before i tell her to call Samsung is to ask on here.
Is there anything i can do that means i can get this phone working again or will this be a call up Samsung job?
Thanks in advance

True but I don't fancy spending any money on it (Don't see why I should spend money on it when its her phone & she messed it up haha), Told her that she can supply's the parts & I can do it or she can call Samsung. So tomorrow she is calling Samsung, Thank you for the help though
Hey folks need help please.
Had a s2 for ages and smashed the screen and for the last few months ive been using the bottom range htc smart phone my ass.
My bro broke the screen on his xperia z ( c6603) vodafone , and today i got back after getting repaired.
Its sim locked and bootloader is no.
After reading so many threads my brain has now exploded.
Im like a child in a sweet factory with his jaw wired shut.
im just looking for it to be unlocked to 3 network as quick as possible so i can become whole again
I know its a bad time to be asking this but is there any way? Dont mind paying
But for any site i read that unlocks phones i seem to come across horror stories.
please make my xmas come true
edit: im not a total new btw rooted and installed cyanogenmod on a s2
Hey guys,
I look since weeks now, how I can get my Statuscode 0 on my Moto G2 back.
Is it not possible to use maybe the flasher ports on the mainboard to change a few bits on the bootloader?
It is not impossible I think, the Manufacturer has to do this too if they build this devices.
Is someone already in process of planning to do this?
Regards

Again this answer and the thing with the warranty. I don't understand the people who always ask the question "Why do you want this?".
I know it already that the warranty is void...
But it is very interesting for me how to do this because it is in my opinion NOT impossible
getting warranty

I used samsung galaxy s3,
samsung also uses a code counter like that
but there is a way to reset the counter and get back warranty.
i think if developers try.
it is possible
Yea that's it,
I hate this questions with "Why do you want to do this"..
I believe in the phone are flasher ports for Motorola... They have to close the Bootloader too and that is it maybe.
Normaly you can use a PL2303 for these Ports, TX, RX, GND, 3,3V. It was for old nokia phones the same.
But I don't wanna try this with my mobile, because I don't know the pinout for this contacts.
