Using the Unfreeze Code

---

I've been trying to unlock my friend's phone, but it appears he's tried an incorrect code too many times and thus it does not give him the option to type in the network unlock code after putting in a foreign SIM. How do I go about using the Unfreeze code sgux.exe gave me?

From what the thread states you need to flash to a nandroid backup and retry. If that doesn't work you might need to Odin one click back to stock. The best way to do it is use a separate Sim card, because I couldn't get the alternate method to work without a Sim card. Not saying it can't be done because there are steps to do so, I just didn't see how to figure it out. I bought a Sim from T-mobile for $10.

Just a note for people who's code might not work. The samsung I have had freezed from previous trials but the phone does not display that it froze or any other msg. so when we got the network unlock code (which is what this tool showed) it did not work but the phone did not display anything other than this code is wrong.
So I tried the unfreeze code for the heck of it, and then the unlock code and it worked."

Thanks for the post, I'll PM him to see how he entered the code exactly

any ideas?

I had frozen my Tmobile Vibrant by entering an unaccepted unlock code three times in a row.

I'm not exactly sure which of these steps resulted in a successful unfreeze, but was able to unfreeze the phone twice:

- Remove SIM and reboot phone
- enter *7465625*638*# and relock the phone to another network other than the one u have u'r sim card (eg 22610) using the 'unlock code'
- enter *7465625*638*# and relock the phone to another network other than the one u have u'r sim card (eg 22610) using the 'unfreeze code'. You won't get any message that it was unlocked, just a bad code message.

- Reboot phone.

And it unfreezes the phone...

When you say it unfreezes the phone, do you mean that you are then able to enter unlock code?
