[kevin37]

I just bought this phone and have been trying to unlock it for t-mobile and none of the ways I have found work I have tryed the windows unlocker tool from here it comes up with no cods and the same from the app from the market. i even purchased a cod from cellunlocker.net using the imei # and still no luck I dont want to exaust my tries fro the code if I cant get the unfreeze and unlock cod . So if anyone can help please.

This has been covered many times, but seeing as you already wasted money I'm feeling extra helpful.

1. Make sure your phone is rooted
2. Make sure you have Busybox on your phone
3. Go to the market and download Galaxy S Unlock
4. Run Galaxy S Unlock
5. Follow the instructions starting at Step #1 (your phone has no code stored on it)
6. Make sure you save your original EFS folder backup (sdcard/Galaxy_S_Unlock) in MULTIPLE places!

You should now be unlocked. On T-Mobile you will not receive 3G. You will only receive Edge.

I tried to search for a thread to reference in my post and I realized just how hard it could be to find one. Maybe I can get a sticky made.....

I have another issue I dont know if I am doing something wrong but this seems to only work for me on the stock eclair 2.1 with GB bootloaders? When I flash anythig else like ICS or cyanogen 7 it dose not work? any ideas?

I don't believe this process works on anything past Gingerbread. But once it is unlocked, it will stay unlocked even if you flash to a new ROM.

I dont mean to be a bother. but can you tell me or give me a link to a Gingerbread Rom that will work? I'm not savy with this phone yet I'm comeing from the HTC HD2 and its alot harder than I thought to find a stable Rom for this phone that will work with this unlock method.

As far as a good ROM its to each his own. I highly recommend you try a few and see what fits you best. Each dev will tell you that they have the best and it turns into a big match of who has the best ROM which is why "the best ROM" threads are not allowed.

I completely agree and I would say the same if someone was looking for the best Rom, but that would apply if I was in fact asking for the best Rom but that is not the case. I am simply looking for a rom other than the stock eclair that is stable and will most importantly work with this unlock, seeing I have t-mobile and am not going to switch to AT&T. I like my plan and this phone and simply need a Rom that will work with this unlock seeing any time I flash anything other than the stock eclair with GB bootloaders the unlock fails? I have been searching and it has been extremely hard to find one, So any info on that fact would be more helpful than the obvious facts, Thanks.
