***** IMPORTANT ROOT IS REQUIRED BEFORE PROCEEDING *****
***** ALSO PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ACTUALLY APPLYING STEPS *****
All right ladies and gentlemen, coders and non coders I have personally found the unlock code NOT THE FREEZE CODE only the unlock code for your Samsung Galaxy S 4G hidden in the same files as previous Vibrant phones.
Please understand this was a hard complex and still needs work procedure.
Of-course this all depends on your dedication and time but hopefully I have simplified it for you.
Steps:
1. Install "010 Hex editor" you can use trial does not have to be registered
2. Go to your SGS 4G and open a terminal emulator (free on the Market) - (Root Required)
The following steps are credit to SS2006 on a different post
*** Dont forget the (su) command *** after the second line
_____
after opening a terminal emulator type the following
cd /dev/block <enter>
su <enter> <at this point your phone will ask for superuser access ALLOW it if you already havent done so>
dd if=/dev/block/bml3 of=/sdcard/bml3.bak <enter>
Go find the file on your SD Card and transfer it to your computer
3. Open 010 Hex Editor
4. In 010 Hex Editor go to the Menus above and select VIEW>LINEFEEDS>SELECT CUSTOM>SET YOUR BYTES TO "32" Nothing Less
5. Locate the bml3.bak file you created and transfered to your computer and open it using the editor

6. Using your keyboard select CRTL+F to search for a hex string, when the search window pops up select "Hex byte" in the Type field and then search for the following string below:
"FFFFFFFFFF0100000000" ALL TOGETHER, Then Hit the FIND ALL button to the right, some of you will get 2 results and others up to 10 results on your screen below
7. If you look at your Hex editor there are 3 window panes on the selected line (See Image Below)
e.g 4CCC60h <-- Offset
01 01 01 01 < -- Hex Keys
yyyyyyyyy <- ASCII text where your code is

8. Go through each result from the above search and you will see on the 3rd window pane (as shown on pic above) after the hex keys there is an 8 DIGIT CODE (Write this code Down) this is your unlock code NCK for your phone
Sidenote: THIS 8 DIG CODE SHOULD SHOW ON AT-LEAST ONE MORE RESULT CHECK ALL YOUR RESULTS FROM THE SEARCH ABOVE IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS ( SOME OF YOU WILL HAVE YOUR CODE SHOWN AT-LEAST 2 TIMES AND SOME OF YOU WILL HAVE THE CODE SHOW MORE THAN 4 TIMES BUT YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE THAT MANY RESULTS )
**** TO INPUT THE UNLOCK NETWORK CODE DO THE FOLLOWING ****
9. Turn off your phone
10. Insert a foreign SIM card not attached to your current provider (e.g if you have T-mob use an ATT SIM CARD) and turn on your phone
11. You will be prompted to enter a Network Unlock Control Key ( Use the code above that you wrote down and type it in your phone exactly)
12. After entering your NCK please hit Unlock or GO button and you should see a screen that says "network unlock successful" and your phone should go in the main screen after your phone has been unlocked.
THATS IT FOLKS HAVE FUN
PS> If you entered an incorrect code you must of entered the wrong code or wrote it down wrong please read carefully and verify the code matches the results from above in at-least more than one instance
