Not sure what to make of this information
Hey all,
Can you enlighten me and let me know what do you mean that the phone will work with ATT and TMobile? Does that mean once the network is unlocked that it will work with either network?

Has anyone tried changing the single 01 value to 00 and pushing it back to the phone and unlocking that way... Like the Vibrant? I have a feeling this code retreive method will be wiped on a new update similiar to the JI6 update for the vibrant.
I did attempt this but you must understand if you take a quick second to think about this the unlock code is in various places and after you unlock your phone different values are changed nut just that one hex byte from 01 to 00 it is a little more complicated than that for this version for now
Solutions are being worked on to figure out the correct byte but for now it seems that the string is the same but the position is not.
Please if anyone has done this provide your feedback, everything helps in these forums knowledge is always useful

Just a little FYI
in the past 4 years, I have changed cell phones (same carrier- T-mobile) every 6 months, if u want the free extremely easy way unlock ANY phone, call T-Mobile customer service, tell them you will be traveling outside the country soon and you would like to request a unlocked code for your phone so you can use your phone in the other country, they will submit a request and email your unlock code with in 24 hrs, always got mine within 6-12hrs, then put in a non t-mobile sim card in your phone and enter the unlock code you were emailed! Its that simple and easy!! Just a little FYI for the ones that are a little if'y about doing adv phone editing.
BTW CAN BE ROOTED OR NON-ROOTED

48***** IMPORTANT ROOT IS REQUIRED BEFORE PROCEEDING *****
***** ALSO PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ACTUALLY APPLYING STEPS *****
All right ladies and gentlemen, coders and non coders I have personally found the unlock code NOT THE FREEZE CODE only the unlock code for your Samsung Galaxy S 4G hidden in the same files as previous Vibrant phones.
Please understand this was a hard complex and still needs work procedure.
Of-course this all depends on your dedication and time but hopefully I have simplified it for you.
Steps:
1. Install "010 Hex editor" you can use trial does not have to be registered
2. Go to your SGS 4G and open a terminal emulator (free on the Market) - (Root Required)
The following steps are credit to SS2006 on a different post
*** Dont forget the (su) command *** after the second line
_____
after opening a terminal emulator type the following
cd /dev/block <enter>
su <enter> <at this point your phone will ask for superuser access ALLOW it if you already havent done so>
dd if=/dev/block/bml3 of=/sdcard/bml3.bak <enter>
Go find the file on your SD Card and transfer it to your computer
3. Open 010 Hex Editor
4. In 010 Hex Editor go to the Menus above and select VIEW>LINEFEEDS>SELECT CUSTOM>SET YOUR BYTES TO "32" Nothing Less
5. Locate the bml3.bak file you created and transfered to your computer and open it using the editor
(CREDIT TO FR0Z3N FOR CLARIFYING THE FOLLOWING 2 STEPS)
6. Using your keyboard select CRTL+F to search for a hex string, when the search window pops up select "Hex byte" in the Type field and then search for the following string below:
"FFFFFFFFFF0100000000" ALL TOGETHER, Then Hit the FIND ALL button to the right, some of you will get 2 results and others up to 10 results on your screen below
7. If you look at your Hex editor there are 3 window panes on the selected line (See Image Below)
e.g 4CCC60h <-- Offset
01 01 01 01 < -- Hex Keys
yyyyyyyyy <- ASCII text where your code is
h.t .t p / / i1201.photobucket . com /albums/ bb359/sanfranx415/unlock.jpg
8. Go through each result from the above search and you will see on the 3rd window pane (as shown on pic above) after the hex keys there is an 8 DIGIT CODE (Write this code Down) this is your unlock code NCK for your phone
Sidenote: THIS 8 DIG CODE SHOULD SHOW ON AT-LEAST ONE MORE RESULT CHECK ALL YOUR RESULTS FROM THE SEARCH ABOVE IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS ( SOME OF YOU WILL HAVE YOUR CODE SHOWN AT-LEAST 2 TIMES AND SOME OF YOU WILL HAVE THE CODE SHOW MORE THAN 4 TIMES BUT YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE THAT MANY RESULTS )
**** TO INPUT THE UNLOCK NETWORK CODE DO THE FOLLOWING ****
9. Turn off your phone
10. Insert a foreign SIM card not attached to your current provider (e.g if you have T-mob use an ATT SIM CARD) and turn on your phone
11. You will be prompted to enter a Network Unlock Control Key ( Use the code above that you wrote down and type it in your phone exactly)
12. After entering your NCK please hit Unlock or GO button and you should see a screen that says "network unlock successful" and your phone should go in the main screen after your phone has been unlocked.
THATS IT FOLKS HAVE FUN
PS> If you entered an incorrect code you must of entered the wrong code or wrote it down wrong please read carefully and verify the code matches the results from above in at-least more than one instance
SHOULD ANYONE NEED HELP PM ME AND I WILL BE GLAD TO HELP
personally my SGS4G has been rooted from day 1 and wi-fi tethering enabled and now it has been Unlocked4ICS users!
FYI, I have discovered that on my SGS4G running AOKP / Team Acid ICS, following the procedure in OP (ie searching for FF FF 01 00 00) but instead checking the file /efs/root/afs/settings/nv_data.bin works fine.
Also, and I haven't bothered to check and see if it's as a result of being on a custom rom, but I'm able to use generic file explorers on Android like Ol File Manager (free from market) to just copy the file, no terminal hackery required. YMMV.
Thanks OP!
-K4You can call up tmobile and tell them that you want to unlock your phone. They will ask for an email and the imei number. they will email you the instructions and unlock code. It's free and you dont need root access. for some phones, you may need a sim card from another carrier, but you can use one of your friends' if they are not on tmobile.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App3I just unlocked two of them, its on different lines everytime.
Folowing are the instructions:
Open the file in Hex Editor
1.) Press - Ctrl + F
A window should open up
2.) Change the type to "Hex Bytes (h)
3.) Value: FF FF FF FF FF 01 00 00 00 00
4.) Click Find All, for me the code
the code is visible right after this, 8 digit code. For me it was repeared 9-10 times in the file.
Good luck1This seems like it doesn't work. If you go to line 157028 you end up at offset 4CAC60h which is nothing but zeros. And if you go to offset 4CCC60h, there's no 01010101 value.
