[Carrier Unlock] SGS4G AROMA Unlocker

FBis251 · Nov 7, 2012

AROMA Edition

I have released my paid app that will let you easily unlock your phone with a native Android app at the touch of a button! If you have trouble using my free unlock methods the app will be able to unlock your phone even if the unlock code did not work.

I've been meaning to make a foolproof script that works in AROMA and in any ROM/Kernel combination. This project provides just that, a zip file that's flashable in recovery that gets you your carrier unlock code easily and quickly. No need to install extra apps or mess around with hex editors on your computer.

Worked beautifully on CM9 with TWRP! Thanks so much FB!

FBis251 · Nov 7, 2012

If anyone can test this on gingerbread roms that would be great! Thanks. Please reply here with what rom/kernel/CWM (or twrp) version you were using.

I just tried this with stock GB, AntonX Basic with a Twist kernel CWM v5.0.2.8. When I flash the unlocker it brings me through the FB splash screen to the "Press Next to continue" screen. Once I press Next, it kicks me back into CWM. I've tried this multiple times with the same result.

On Valhalla Black FB CWM voodoo Lagfix Recovery v5.0.2.7. Goes into the AROMA Unlocker, I press next and it returns me back to the recovery menu. I think I'll try TWRP unless you say otherwise.

FBis251 · Nov 8, 2012

Yeah I didn't test much in GB. Thanks for the reports guys. I'll try to flash to GB soon to check what's going on.

Using slim ics with pimp my Rom tweaks, kg4 modem and jefe kod v3b kernel....the first time it just rebooted my phone, did it again and it gave me the code. Awesome job Fb.

It worked awesome! Updated to CM 9 and it worked like a charm! Thanks!

Hey FB, Im running the latest AOKP release with TWRP and i couldn't get it to flash. It kept telling me it failed with no explanation and only 3 options; wipe cache, reboot system, home

Hi, I need some testers for the unlocker android app I'm making.

I need people who can verify whether or not a phone has been locked/unlocked (this means that you'll need a working non-tmobile sim card)

Make sure you have a backup of /efs before you do anything else!

Worked like a charm

This was the method that worked for me after the other method gave me an error message saying" Busybox was not installed correctly......"

.FB ....Make sure you have a backup of /efs before you do anything else!...

Done.:good:

I am running the stock firmware with a slightly modified kernel and CWM-based voodoo Lagfix Recovery v.5.0.2.7. I used an inactive AT&T sim card. My carrier is T-Mobile and it appears to
be unlocked, although I haven't yet verified it through using an active AT&T or any sim other than T-Mobile.

Thank You FB for Your Magic Again

EDIT> I flash another kernel (AntonX Basic with a Twist SGS4G KJ6 1.1.3 kernel) All locks still read "OFF".

what kernel did you use to get the unlock code? or where you using AntonX Basic with a Twist SGS4G KJ6 1.1.3 kernel from the start?

i have the same kernel with stock rom and root ..... all it does it once i hit next ... it kicks me out to recovery screen

You can always try the script that uses busybox and smanager which doesn't require you to be in recovery and I have tested under gingerbread
