I am going to aboard for 2 month and wanna using my phone. I wonder how to unlock the phone and use it outside U.S.
You can try to call AT&T to see if they will give you the unlock code. (unlikely)
I assume you are on post MI9 firmware. If so, Chainfire's region unlock will not work for you.
cellunlocker.net is a site you can go to to get it unlocked, you have to pay, but they are very reputable.

I always use unlockcode247.com (aka Myhoian on eBay), best unlocking site I know you get the code in a couple of hours. You also have to revert back to stock ROM to enter the code even in you get the code from ATT.

I didn't have to revert back to stock to use my unlock code. just put in non att sim and rebooted then entered the code.

Hi guys, im new here and I just got my phone having switched from a 9700. I work for Rogers so im not stupid when it comes to phones yet im a virgin when it comes to android...
My question is, if I have unlocked my captivate so that it works with Telus, will any type of sw update relock my phone forcing me to purchase unlock code again?
Would some relock it and some wont?
Im aware this is probably a very basic question but I would appreciate it if you humored me and enlightened me

Well if you have unlocked using the free unlock method you should already have your unlock code so you can write it down somewhere and if it happens to lock the phone after the update you can just enter the same unlock code. I believe the code does not change after an update.
Yes, I kept the code, I asked because I was worried somehow the code would change. Thanks, I guess I got my answer.

I am thinking of free unlock methods , since its hardware is nearly exactly same as the Galaxy S2 which can be unlocked free from the market.
Why not just ROM from SIM free EU Note using Odin?
I've done it few times over the weekend to restore the phone, it should remove all the carrier crap inc SIM lock.

Anyone test this app?
how can you tell if you have a locked Note besides using a different carrier SIM?
No success with KJ1

SG Note unlocked from leaving factory in the UK.
As for flashing a rom to remove carrier crap, thats just debranding, flashing a rom or kernel does not affect its network lock status, that is a completely different thing to flashing.
cellunlocker is one of the cheapes and most effective ways, and is guaranteed 100% or your money back.

Unfortunately att has a policy for unlocking their phones. If you give them a call they can give you the details. Other than that though you're gonna have to pay.

Att should unlock it, since they are not the exclusive carrier, that's what I was told when I called about the Pantech crossover, its exclusive and can't be until December.

This, and carrier unlocking are two different things. Carrier unlocking requires a code.

Yea while the Thrill may have a couple Identical Twin sister phones out there, ATT is going to say they have exclusive rights the P925 Thrill 4G all day.

Not exactly when you install CWM you can do a G-Free and a Radio OFF to unlock the radio baseband so whenever you flash a rom some of them run this commands

Hello,
I gave my girlfriend my phone running Slim Bean 4.1.2 ROM on my captivate for her trip throughout Europe. I assumed it was unlocked and would work with any GSM carrier in Europe if she bought a SIM card and popped it in. Well, I was wrong and it didn't work and now I'm in a pickle. Can someone please give me an easy solution to unlock the phone!!!!!!! She has to be able to figure it out with me explaining it to her. I was thinking a zip file she could flash in CWM, but anything easy would be most definitely great.
Sincerely, SP
GalaxSim Unlock app by Spocky from the Play Store. The ability to do the unlock isn't free but should do the job on the Rom she has on her phone now.
The other unlock app by helroz, u would have to flash back to Stock first then unlock...i think.

Thank you sir. This is exactly what I'm looking for. She's asleep atm, but when she wakes up she'll give it a go.
This may sound stupid. Can you get the unlock code from ATT? After 1 year they are supposed to provide this 4 free?

I bought my phone used on eBay some years ago. First, I used o2 wireless then Straight Talk. Not sure how to go about it. Her phone still doesn't work. I should mention she's has a Vodaphone and an Alditalk sim card.

Flash stock firmware via RSD or Mythtools. http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=7
FYI, you can sell with custom ROM, I've picked up 2 AHDs from amazon this yr (I fried one and cracked the screen on another) and both times I ran across phones with custom ROMs.
Yeah, but I heard that the unlocking method only works on stock roms, plus I don't want disgruntled people blaming me for bugs found in Custom Roms.

If you're running a custom ROM, you already are bootloader unlocked. If disgruntled ppl are what you are trying to avoid, flash back to stock, unlock the BL, then sell

Wait your saying that if my phone has a unlocked bootloader then you can't sim/network unlocked even if your on stock rom.
I got a unlocked code a while back from AT&T and it didn't work.I was rooted with bootloader unlocked on stock AT&T jb rom and code didn't work.Is this the reason why it didn't work.Got a ATRIX HD.
