Unlocking Focus S

Hey guys,
So I need to unlock my Focus S and went to fastgsm.com, and there are two methods, one by USB and one via IMEI. Can anyone tell me what the difference is? I'm in the USA btw. Thanks!

USB can be quicker and cheaper but more trouble sum to get working if it is possible at all (not all models work)
IMEI can take a while to come through and generally costs more, but is a lot easier to get working.
My phones yet to arrive so I cant say for sure what does and doesn't work, but after spending an hour or so researching unlocking via cable. it doesn't appear to be possible, in that the i937 isn't on any of the supported cable unlock lists..

I unlocked via USB and it worked fine. It's not working in Windows 8 though!
Also, in the event that the USB unlock doesn't work, the network unlock tool is actually displayed within the app, that you can then enter in the phone manually.

could you drop some details of where you did it?
still cant find any cable unlock sites that say they support the i937

FastGSM.com worked fine for me.

Just tried to unlock my Focus S (updated via Zune to the latest 8773 version with Samsung drivers) using the USB method from FastGSM and the program failed to unlock my phone. Also tried using the program to unlock after restoring to a 7720 backup but usb unlock still failed - thinking it is the bootloader as its version number didn't revert to an earlier number even after restoration. Currently waiting for support from FastGSM to respond...

Are you using Windows 8 by chance? It didn't work on W8 for me. The program actually displays the unlock code during the process. It's like "network code" or something in the dialog. You can simply enter that into your phone.

Unfortunately no network code seems to be displayed

just to give an update, the fastgsm client is unable to unlock phones that have applied the new LE2 firmware update from samsung. they refunded my cost (rather than unlock it with IMEI for me :crying

if they won't.. try SAMSUNGimeiUnlock.com
i got mine there for my focus s

Can you guys tell me how much are they charging for unlocking Samsung focus s on http://www.samsungimeiunlock.com ?
and we are talking about network unlock right? could somone confirm if the below phone can be unlocked?

yeah it can be SIM unlocked via IMEI and if you don't update it (apparently) via USB cable as well.

One more question . Any other specific advantage on buying a unlocked device apart from price?

Even being unlocked the chances are with the Focus S it will still be branded so the only difference buying unlocked against locked, is that its usually more expensive to buy an unlocked device, however unless you fail do to your research you will find that the price is usually about the same anyway, sometimes marginally more expensive, I suppose you could call it the "hassle tax"

My Experience with UNLOCKing Samsung Focus S i937
...this is is the worst to unlock. I went through 3 ebay sellers (range .99 to $25). No one could find a unlock code (but refunded my money...after complaining). I went to local 3rd party mobile phone shop...they couldn't find a unlock code.
I then went to FastGSM and selected USB unlock...since IMEI way hasn't worked. I paid, downloaded client...client connected..but didn't do anything.. I left it there for 30 mins. Contacted FastGSM, they referred me to online tutorial..which i followed to the "T". Still didn't work. So I deiced to hard reset my phone...still didn't work...i decided to update it to the latest version through Zune( DON'T DO THIS! without making a Backup first!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=13795711).. Then I found this thread...member "64GUNSHIP" stated that usb client doesn't work with Windows 8 ( which is what I was using). So I used another computer with Windows 7. The usb client works!!! I got unlock code...but somehow the "SIM Unlock Screen" didn't show up any more with or without a SIM card. [Unaware to me, the client somehow unlocked my phone without me entering the code]
So the entire time I was trying to figure out did the Zune update kill the Sim unlock menu, I tried the #7465625*638*CODE#. I even restored to a previous ROM Backup. The issue is that I was using an OLD OLD OLD Sim card from a different carrier that the phone didn't recognize. Once I put in a working Tmobile SIM ...everything worked great!

Huawei Honor Note 8 root

I get asked a lot how I rooted my Huawei Honor Note 8 so I thought I'd do a basic how to from memory on how I did it. It's relatively easy to do.
You'll need your phone's bootloader unlocked.
The files from Huawei's forums http://club.huawei.com/thread-10828573-1-1.html or https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwyaxIga7s0qc0ZKRGtsdndwV3M/view?usp=sharing
The app is in chinese but has some english on the buttons.
To unlock bootloader:
Got bootloader unlock code with the app on the playstore "DC Huawei Bootloader Codes" (took about 8 hours to get)
Enable USB debugging on the phone & connect it to the computer.
Unlock the bootloader with the program downloaded. Use the first button on the first tab labeled bootloader. Put in unlock code in the pop up box & click ok.
To root:
Enable USB debugging on the phone & connect it to the computer.
Flash the recovery_twrp.img file with the program downloaded. Use the 2nd button on the first tab labeled recovery.
To change twrp into english, click on the 3rd down 2nd row button & then click on the globe button. The globe is really hard to hit! Keep trying till you get it Then select English.
Install SuperSU with TWRP
Should now be rooted!

Question. Is there anything I should do like backup my bootloader or something before starting this process?

benmeroff said:
Unlocking your bootloader will wipe the device; factory reset for sure, and I believe it also erases your internal storage (don't quote me on that though, not sure for this phone), but your OS will remain whatever stock version you had installed until you flash something else.

I did not backup anything.

Ok thanks.. I appreciate it

I have a question, or making a root and unlock the bootloader is associated with a full reset your data and settings that can be done root without losing data?

Nope

Hi guys
I unlocked my note 8 successfully . In startup screen show your devives is unlocked and can not be trusted every time i restar the phone is it normal?
Second thing i flashed twrp by clicking on recovery button then after restarted i clicked on 3rd button of second row to change to english but it didnt say click on english
How to enter twrp recovey i tried pressing power button and volume up nothing happened
Plz help

Yuppers.. not trusted cuz ya unlocked it.
Should be volume up & power. You can also do it with the app. The 2nd tab... recovery. Will boot it into recovery too.
You have to click the globe button on the far right to get to the language. It's a ***** to hit! BTW... TWRP has reverted back to chinese a few time now for some reason on mine. It's kind of annoying considering how hard it is to hit that one button.

Questions about the root process
1) why do you need the unlock code?
2) Where can I find SuperSU for honor note 8? Can someone please provide a link?
3) Has anyone succeeded rooting?
Thanks in advance for the answers.

Please Help!
Everything was find, I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, when I flashed SuperSU it bootloops!
Can someone please help.....

I'm not sure why it would be boot looping. I'd flash it again. Might even try a factory reset before flashing too. You're the first I've heard of with that problem. Make sure you're on version 22.

i downloaded "DC Huawei Bootloader Codes" then i entered my Note 8 IMEI and waited for 8 hrs and got an email telling me it is failed and i tries the other IMEI "since it's dual sim card phone" but no luck, same message.
Please help

The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days. Huawei site error
DC Huawei Bootloader Codes not working
please help

Hi,
I read of the possibility of the root of honor note 8 through oneclickroot, kingroot, etc.
It must first be unlocked bootloader or the software will to unlock?
For unlocking the bootloader you must use to force pay program dc-unlocker?
Thank you

in the app, there is another way to get it. choose not by imei.
write the developer of the app you did not get the code and you want a refund, and pay for the second method. this is how i did it.

Great! Many thanks for your quick reply! I contacted dc-unlocker support and thats what they replied..
Hello, this codes is from factory DB. Sorry, but there not all phones present in this db.
This happens frequently if phone has MEID .
But you can read code by cable, we support almost all huawei.
If reading by cable not acceptable we can do refund.
Im waiting for their next answers at my qustions, what exactly have i do..
I have to download their soft probably and make everything there..
I had no time to check their forum yet, im sure there will be instructions..
EDIT:
Oki so i used DC-unlocker software, received these codes and unlocked Bootloader successfully!
I have rooted both phones already!
I had an issues with ADB drivers on Win10 and on Win7 as well, could not find my devices in devices manager but i have solved it!
TWRP 3.02 with preinstalled SuperSU works fine on B027.. In one of my phones i had B029 so i had to downgrade to B027..
On B029 doesnt work flash command in cmd.. Stuck on "waiting for device"..

LO9-C432 vs. L29C636 rollback package from N-MM

Hello to all, please enlighten me and help me find a solution regarding my L29-C636 device. Currently, my device is in nougat B320 but build is in NRD90M test-keys. I have been finding solution and been reading in this forum for solutions. I already tried rollback pack but not working. Whereas LO9-C432 rollback has worked for some devices in this forum having the same build number in NRD90M Test-keys. So i wondered why its not working for me. Currently, i have unlocked bootloader but not rooted nor any twrp installed. Could it be my bootloader being unlocked is the culprit? Should i relock bootloader before rollback?

It's work even you have an unlook bootloader ! Try to rollback with this: P9 Plus Rollback Package %28VIE-L29%2C from Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0 to Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1%2C C185B300%2C MiddleEast%26Africa%29 you can find it here at this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-plus/help/help-nrd90m-test-keys-t3569124, after rolling back and change the oem info after that and relock your bootloader, after that try to install B181 version, it gonna be work I have already test that ! and don't forget to hard reset your device

Thank you for your reply, i already tried the rollback you indicated but it keeps saying error incompatible. I have read your thread and i wondered because your rollback worked for you and not mine. I tried reset already, although there is an error in reset but it managed to setup the fone. I have clear cache too. But the roll back just didnt worked. I tried my stick original FW c636B180 and still dont work. What could have i missed?

Huawei Nova 2 Plus Bootloader Unlock (Solution)

Hello Developers!
I have found an easy way to unlock the bootloader of our Huawei Nova 2 Plus. No need to use Testpoint or pay for software to unlock. it is an Python Script which would brute force the code through the IMEI number you have entered
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THE PHONE IS CONNECTED TO ADB OR THIS TOOL WILL NOT WORK AS IT WILL RESTART INTO FASTBOOT AND TRY ALL THE CODES IT GENERATED!!!!!!!.
THIS TOOL WORKS FOR Linux and Windows. the guide is for windows but the script would work for linux completely fine.
REQUIREMENTS
Download The Tool from the thread
Install Python From Microsoft Store Or The Python Website
Run Powershell as Admin
Run the Command:- python unlock.py
Enter Your IMEI Number
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS CONNECTED TO ADB!!!!!
Wait for the code to be found
If your phone reboot into EMUI reboot back into bootloader mode and the tool will start the bootloader unlocking process
The Phone May Reboot Several Times.
If you get an warning about unlocking the bootloader you have succeeded to unlock the bootloader
Special Thanks To KASHIFALIKHAN For the tool . the download will be down below​

Hello,
I have a chinese Honor 9x (bought from alieExpress). I currently have the HarmonyOS installed that doesn't allow me to run any google-apps, so I'm trying to unlock the bootloader. Out of desperation I tried to use this program to try bruteforce the unlock code. However as I start running it (USB debug enabled and all in options), after the first reboot it arrives in fastboot mode (as I believe should be expected), but then it gives the error that no devices have been found, and therefore remains hanging at 10% / first code tried.
I have a feeling that somehow after the reboot the usb debugging/OEM mode is not on anymore and therefore the python program doesn't identify the phone. I feel this has to do with the setting "enable OEM mode" not being available in any of the settings in my phone (probably a little chinese easter egg to make all this more difficult?). I don't really know how to tackle this issue tho, any advice is appreciated.

Have you installed Hisuite drivers? And check device manager when you boot into fastboot if it shows Android bootloader interface then you're good to go if not then try installing Hisuite drivers

Since you could enter the bootloader when you first trying, I'm guess it might be the Harmony OS. You can try use Hisuite to roll back your HarmonyOS to EMUI, then try to unlock the bootloader. Most of modified Android OS removed the OEM mode to make you have a hard time on unlock bootloader. These will be really easy if you use some phones like Google's Pixel.
I have an old Huawei Nova 3i and it's updated into the Harmony OS, which is not what I want, I'd like to have a more cleaner OS that not with so much preinstalled apps. Then I roll back to EMUI as the first step to install other ROM, and that script it's working now. It's still trying get the password so I can't say it worked or some thing else.
And alter is that, if you just want install some google-apps, you may just roll back to EMUI, it should worked fine. And I'm not really suggest you have any phone from Huawei now since they really push their Harmony OS as a thing (at least, in China) and not really friendly towards people not in China (since lots of popular apps' depended G-apps). I'm annoyed even I'm Chinese though.
