OK, so it is possible then, or is it just theory right now? Regarding the carrier lock.Depends on what model. Verizon branded not yet. Not without root. Need root to pull the code from the phone. I'll be working on that after I get root. As for the others check around the forums. I did it with Motorola phones. It was in /dev/block/stl5 not sure where Samsungs is located yet.
That's the international version right? If so, there is root and custom ROMs available. Once you get root, get adb, open a terminal and run
adb shell su pull /dev/block /whatever/directory/
Them send it to me. I'll look through it and find it.
