He's blowin smoke. On skyrocket the unlock code is stored in EFS partition (not the /efs mount point, but mmcblk0p18 and 19 partitions) and these partitions are encrypted. Only the radio code can read it via a decodeEfs() call. It's is not as simple as reading a raw hex value or it would have been done long ago.

Most likely its not even the unlock code that is stored there but rather an md5 hash of the code plus the imei to compare when the 8 digit code is entered by the user.

I don't know, I mean it was in plain text on m Galaxy Mini.
You may be right though, I have not tried to unlock my T989 yet. Almost the same phone.

It may be easy to simply over right the hash with the hash of a known string. example 000000000000 or something like that then type that in to unlock it.

It honestly cant be all that hard.

They even sell boxes in China for under 300 dollars that do this and even program "repair" IMEI codes on all Samsung devices.

dont think so, Lock codes are IMEI specific and unique to each phone.

They are IMEI specific among other things, but how does your phone know you got the right code? It is checked against the phones internal memory.

I used cellunlocker.net to unlock both of my Skyrockets. They also unlocked my Galaxy Note. No problems any of the 3 times I used them.

There's a reason they are the best site online.

Cheapest unlock imo

I read that allot of people have paid over $30-40 to unlock there phone. Just because one guy put up a site that he recommended. Well I don't just jump at the first site I'm offered. Because I know always someone else doing it for less. Just trying to help some of us that need there phone unlocked for what ever reason!
Its only $10 when I use 5off, in the coupon box. Hope that helps anyone looking to unlock there phone for less then some have already paid on this thread..

Thank you. Just ordered. See when it comes and if it works...

[Edit] I have just got immediate response that the unlock code for my IMEI is not available. But they said "If you have a Samsung phone we can get the code in less than 24 hours for $20 more. If you would like to pay the additional $20 you may do so on this page: http://www.unlocktotalk.com/Upgrade.php". A bit confuse so I request refund!

[Edit 2] Finally I choose this guy on eBay. Extremely satisfied! Only take me 10 minutes from the time I purchased from eBay to the time my phone unlocked!

Firstly I was a bit afraid about the USB way of unlocking. But I have decided to tried because he got so many positive feedbacks on ebay. Don't be afraid! It's not only cheaper but almost instantly compare to the unlock by code. Will go with this guy again when I upgrade to SGSIII.

Heh, I forgot to record the process for a free credit, but it was so quick that by the time I realized I wasn't recording it, it was over... Unlock worked great, t-mo prepaid card working.

Yupp its a pretty awesome and unique process huh? AND its the cheapest out there that actually works, still waiting for my refund from cellunlocknow.com, pieces of garbage scammers lol. Anyways ya i really recommend the ebay program as long as you know how to follow directions

Send some "thanks" my way if you end up using the program and it worked out for you. That keeps everyone helpful juices flowing :D

Hello, this is my first post! But I have been reading tons on these forums, very impressive. Thanks for all the tips!!

I have now unlocked my phone using the ebay website, pretty nifty! I have to say I wish there was a way to do it for free, but it seems that it is not possible. I tried using many different apps, but to no avail! (learned a ton in the process)

Phone: SHG-I727R (Rogers).

How do I know my Phone's Network is Fully Unlocked?
Go to the dial screen on your phone, and press *#7465625#

A menu will be displayed that will resemble the following...

1. [ ] Network lock
2. [ ] Subset lock
3. [ ] SP lock

If everything if OFF, then your phone is fully unlocked.
-------------------

Is that true?

I was reading this thread and dialed *#7465625# to see what's happen and i've got this
Network Lock [OFF]
Network Subset Lock [OFF]
SP Lock [OFF]
CP Lock [OFF]

Does it mean that my phone is unlocked?
I never unlocked my phone..I rooted my phone when I bought it (brand new) but that's it.

thanks

tried cell-unlock-now (billed as theunlockdepot) for $5.99 and they said that they couldn't find the code in the database (i'm awaiting refund).

tried cellunlock.net after reading this forum and used the android50 coupon and got my unlock code successfully. Ordered last night, got it this morning. I'd recommend these guys.

    For Those requesting skyrocket unlock, Please BACKUP ALL OF YOUR DATA AND APPS ON THE PHONE because on some firmware, the phone is doing a FULL FACTORY RESET after unlock by my method.

    Thanks
