Thanks!! Please let me know how you like it. I put a ton of new features in it that I am working on porting back to the original PRO app and I would love some feedback on them.
It worked for me, my Tab is a Movistar Spain and I edited nv_data.bin with Hexadecimal editor, replaced FF 01 00 00 00 00 DE B0 located at 0x181460 by FF 00 00 00 00 00 DE B0. After reboot and other steps described in procedure, a Vodafone SIM card was tested and his PIN code was requested, accepted and working.
Thanks !!!!
Thanks !!!!
HI,
I bought your app, but something is wrong, because on the lock status says that the network is OFF, but I don't have any network and the tab don´t ask me for a pin code...
Can you tell me what is happening??
was locked to Vodafone in Portugal, I want to use Optimus, Portugal!!
kind regards

It won't ask you for a code. Once you are unlocked and you reboot just load another SIM card and you are good to go.
wipe?
if you wipe all data to factory, does the unlock remain? For example if i sell this tab and the next user wipes the data, will they have to unlock again?

It shouldn't... if it does... you can restore your unlocked /efs/ folder (make a backup first.
Could anyone help me buy this app somewhere else other than the Android Market,
I'm in Serbia and I can't purchase this app here, 'The item that you were attempting to purchase cannot be found' keeps popping up.
I've tried using MarketEnabler and I keep getting this message.
Any help would be appreciated

sim card
So you have to have the sim card from the carrier that the tablet is locked to to be able to unlock it?
I bought my p7500 tablet used and wasn't given the sim that came with it. Is it still possible to unlock it? I have tried running your app but eventually was prompted that the program had stopped working and then did a force close.
Kind regards Jimi

You don't need any sim cards. The FC is usually a problem with root. Make sure root and busybox are updated.
stock HC 3.2
the app does not work... unfortunately...
got stuck at step 2 (black screen)
the tab restarted but the SIM unlock was not performed...
any chance you would update the app for 3.2 please?

22So I managed to unlock my T-Mobile Tab 10.1 over the weekend and I discovered that it works on ATT at 3.5G speeds.
My Tab has several files in the /efs/ folder that weren't there in my previous Samsung phones.
Unlock App for anyone who doesn't feel comfortable with a hex editor
BTW... I cannot be held responsible for anything that happens to your phone.... EVER!
Before you start... if you don't have root you WILL need it.
ALSO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF THE /efs/ FOLDER
Step 1. - Retrieve nv_data.bin file
use "adb shell" or a terminal emulator to get a terminal prompt and run the following commands
Code:su cat /efs/nv_data.bin >> /sdcard/nv_data.bin cat /efs/.nv_state >> /sdcard/.nv_state busybox cp -r /efs /sdcard/
Step 2. - Edit nv_data.bin file
mount the internal SD Card on your computer
make a backup copy of the nv_data.bin file on your computer
using your favorite HEX editor open the nv_data.bin on the sdcard
jump to address 0x181468
you should see a string like this
ff 01 00 00 00 00
there are 5 different types of locks in 5 different bytes
the FF byte should be left alone
the first byte after the FF is the network lock
the next byte is the network subset lock
the next byte is the sp lock
the next byte is the cp lock
the last byte appears to be a data lock.
the 46 46 should be left alone
Change any 0x01 to 0x00 (or 0x00 to 0x01 to lock for warranty)
It should read ff 00 00 00 00 00 46 46 for unlocked
save and close file
unmount SD Card
Step 3. - Replace nv_data.bin file
I want to say it again so no one misses it MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR /efs/ FOLDER BEFORE YOU CONTINUE!!!!!
use "adb shell" or a terminal emulator to get a terminal prompt and run the following commands
your tab is now unlocked... enjoyCode:su rm /efs/nv_* rm /efs/.nv_* cat /sdcard/nv_data.bin >> /efs/nv_data.bin cat /sdcard/.nv_state >> /efs/.nv_state chmod 755 /efs/nv_data.bin chown radio.radio /efs/nv_data.bin || chown 1001.1001 /efs/nv_data.bin chmod 755 /efs/.nv_state chown radio.radio /efs/.nv_state || chown 1001.1001 /efs/.nv_state reboot
If you have any trouble with md5 and IMEI stuff change .nv_state from 0x30 to 0x31 (or ascii 0 to 1)
Give a big thanks to all the people that helped with the original unlock method (in the i9000 thread)
If it works please feel free to donate via Paypal1
After you have a backup you can change that first 01 to a 00
FF 00 00 00 00 00 BC 9D D4
and you should be set... I had to delete all those other files in the folder. Could you tell me what files you have in /efs/?
su
busybox ls -la /efs/1
I have always believed in providing the solution to everyone... I don't want anyone to think I am only in this for the money. When I was looking for the i9000 unlock someone was charging $35 and there was no way I was going to pay that so I started on this path of providing the information for free.
Thanks to the economy I lost my job and had lots of time to code but no money for devices.... enter the PRO app. I get a lot of people that buy codes and then they don't work and they end up using my app for half the price (half the time the samsung unlock doesn't work even with the code).1What I did is just follow the instructions in the Overcome rom except the "re-stocking" part. Mine is running Overcome with no problems so far.1i´ve followed all steps. its pretty the same like the other devices like the gt p-1000. full success.
