Thanks to all of the members who contributed to this thread!


*Rules for this thread*

- No asking for codes
- No posting IMEI or ESN numbers
- Follow general CPF rules


This may not work on all Samsung phones! The only way to know if it works for your phone is to try it yourself if it is not posted below.


THIS IS THE TEMP UNLOCK CODE FOR A SAMSUNG PHONE


Do this at your own risk:

Instructions
Press *#06# and write down your IMEI
Unlock Codes
Code 1: *2767*688 then your IMEI and then press #
For example *2767*688352708000828246# (Everything before the / for C225)
Code 2: *0141#
Code 3: 00000000 (8 zero's)

Entering the Codes
1. Switch your phone off. Remove the original SIM card

2. Insert another SIM card from an alternative network. Power up your
phone. You should now see the "Wrong Card" message.

3. Type Code 1 into your phone, if this is entered correctly your
phone screen should now turn black and reboot itself. (C225 doesn't go
black but does reboot)

4. After the phone reboots the SIM card will be recognized and your
SIM will work. Be patient while your phone reboots and DO NOT press
any keys. At this point the phone is "Temporarily" unlocked.

5. Now at your idle screen type in Code 2 (*0141#) and hit the call button.
This should give you a message saying the phone is "Personalized".

6. Power off the phone and insert the original SIM, then power up.

7. At the SIM code prompt, it will ask you to enter a password. At
this stage enter Code 3.

8. After entering hit "OK" and your phone should complete initialization.

Your phone is now Permanently unlocked.

Another easy way is you put in a foreign sim put in the code *2767*2878# much easier and works just the same.

------------------------------------------------------------

*2767*688 <your IMEI number>

Or

*2767*688 <your IMEI number> #

Faq’s of unlocking

Q: Can I /what will unlocking my sprint, Verizon, or other CDMA do?

A: Well... technically, you COULD unlock it, however, it would serve no purpose, unless you find the right software (called a FLEX, not to be confused with flash), with the specific netowrk's software embedded in it. Your phone has something called an "ESN Number" programmed in it, which is specific to each and every phone. This number has all of your phone's information programmed into it. If it doesn't appear in your carrier's database - you won't be able to use it. IF you manage to slip by, which is very rare, you won't be able to use it because it does not have the provider's software on it (The FLEX).


Q: Is unlocking dangerous?

A: Theroetically, there is no danger in unlocking, UNLESS you are preforming a software downgrade (IE: Bootloader in motorola phones).

when i put in Code 2 (*0141#) and hit the call button it says unable to process request...what should i do

Thanks.....

Hey rob my phone is unlcoked its jsut i cannot get on the net and i cannot apply my mp3 songs as my ringtones because it seems as if its not fully unlocked on the network and stuff like that is. I have the samsung sgh-t619 do you know what i could do please help!

Thanx

Very good topic

Sorry not to reply sooner! You need to install something called WEB SESSION packets. Call your provider and ask them to send the web packets for the phone. Explain to them that you have an unlocked phone and they'll be more than happy to send it out.

Please Help:

I have a Samsung sgt-d415 with t-mobile. I tried to unlock with the cingular sim. I followed the instruction on this post and I got my phone personalized. I put back my t-mobile sim and entered eight 0' for sim lock password. I thought my phone was totally unlock. I switched back to cingular sim but it did not work. In addition, now everytime I have to turn on my T-mobile sim card, the sim lock password enter pop up and I have to put in the eight 0's for the password. Did I do something wrong? I want to use both cingular and T-mobile sim cards and I do not want to enter the password everytime I need to use the phone.

Thanks:

T809 from T-Mobile

***************************************
NOTE: If you receive an error message while performing the instructions below, stop. Please be aware that if an excessive amount of incorrect attempts are made, the phone will be permanently locked. It is very important that the instructions are entered correctly as listed. For Unlock code you will enter the 8 digit code that we have provided you(24024670).

The code is unique to each phone, so it probably will not work for other's phones, but we thank you for the info!

is this method applicable for t629?

I have heard yes, and I have heard no, the only way to know is if you try it yourself!

Does this work on the T-Mobile T619?

Nothing appears to happen after entering in code 1.

I don't know if this is in the thread but i didn't want to read the whole thing will this code work on a SGH - d807?
