Unhappy How much to wait before the unlock code becomes available

Hello, I have a Glide manufactured in Nov 2011. I tried to unlocked by many companies, but all failed to get the unlock code, saying that it is unavailable. I see that it is no software unlock tool (as for the Galaxy S). I have it rooted but locked...
Any idea when the code can become available or another solution to have it unlocked?
Thanks

Sorry, forgot to mention: it is locked on Rogers, Canada

After ~90 days after the purchase, if you call AT&T and say that you're 'going overseas' they'll give you an unlock code.

I already tried it. Also tried RogersCodes.ca, Theunlock.ca, OttawaPC.ca, MobileInCanada.com, cellunlock.net...

Think that I will have to pay 40$ to Samsung directly. I understood from OttawaPC.ca that it is a chance they can get it from them.

No the phone will not be released outside US & Canada. I bought it on eBay (.com - US) and got it to India through Borederlinx (Postal Forwarding). Approx 27k including shipping and duty charges.
Phone is very good especially for QWERTY lovers..

First tried - it doesn't work. I used it on another Galaxy S i9000 without problem, but it doesn't work on Glide (i927R)
Second: tried, doesn't work as it stated in the first page, the file nv_data.bin is re-created at each boot. I have to take a look deeper for hidden files (starting with .). I will do a try probably later

After many tests, deleted files (starting with dot or not) at each re-boot it will recreate the files.
In the file nv.log I see something like "restoring from secondary backup"... Where it stores that secondary backup it I have no idea...
