I just got a Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V).

I went through a factory-wipe, update to 2.3.6, root, custom kernel, CM7 install, and now on CM9. It seems to work fine. Except I'm on AT&T!

I just purchased your app. I will try it out in a few hours. If it works, I'll leave a positive review here and on the Play store.

Thank you, but if you're already using your SGH-T959V successfully on AT&T it means that your phone is already unlocked and don't need to attempt to unlock again.

I was *not* using it on AT&T, that is why I bought your app.

The phone was locked to T-Mobile. When I put in my AT&T SIM, it asked for a SIM PIN or something.

With the T-Mobile SIM inserted, I ran your app, wrote down the number, put my AT&T SIM in, typed in the number, then it said "Network Unlocked" (or something like that).

Does this mean the device is unlocked for ANY GSM network (such as Bell or Rogers), or was it telling me that it was unlocked for just the AT&T SIM?

It should work with any compatible GSM network that uses a full-sized SIM card.

Hi, quick question about your App.

There will be soon the SGS4G Google Edition. It will be available only for AT&T and T-Mobile.

I'm from Belgium and I planned to buy the phone during my holidays in the U.S.

Do you think your app will work in this case and unlock the carrier ?

Regards.

Whoever decided to name the phone the Galaxy S 4G picked a bad name. The phone this app is designed for came out in 2011 (SGH-T959V or SGH-T959W), so it will not work on the new 2013 Galaxy S 4.

If I rename your file in update.zip will it unlock also a not rooted device?
I tried some other files but unsuccessfully as not signed.
Can I ask which ROM do you suggest for this t959 4g and if it support front camera?
I used to convert avi files from my cheap camera to latest space conscious mp4 h264 on the gt i9000 with official ROM CM10.1 rc5 but often with big files it just slow down, freeze and restart, which parameters of CPU and RAM should I fine tune to achieve video transcoding done? (actually Roman 10 1.5.6)
Thanks
I temporarily rooted with z4mod 1.4 but antivirus alert me of Lena virus, I ignored it but I loose connection shortly using Internet in places never lost before.

This is a native android application available from Google Play, not a flashable zip file.
Are you sure you're using an SGH-T959V or SGH-T959W

Yes it is the 959 but I made the example with my old gt i9000 as it is similar in RAM and spec.
You offered aside your Google Play apk also a zip file in your other thread but I was asking how can I flash it if not rooted ask for zip signature.
About the conversion of videos now I have better results with Mackay ROM, must install yet the latest 2.11.4.

You should post here in the zip file thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1978974

You will need a computer. If you have one available here is a guide you can follow that will get your phone on stock gingerbread:

As you work from long time on this device, can I ask you after stock gingerbread what you suggest to put on please?
For non bricked device I will need root and custom recovery, cwm TWRP or other, in other posts I read about Amonra....
Thanks

Thanks and question

Hello,

And thanks for this amazing app. But suddenly it doesnt works for me. I´ll explain.

I´ve purchased one SGH-T959V from Tmobile from ebay. I´ve done the "return to stock rom", root and installed the busybox. When I´ve purchased your app, it downloads but apperas an error message:

Couldnt install on USB storage or SD card.

I´ve tried to install another apps, and they´re installed succesfully.

Could you tell me what can I try?

Thannks
