June 2011 RE-EDIT... Use the instructions here or here to unlock.
EDIT: SIM-Lock on JI6 has been solved for me with helroz's repair_nv_data.zip, read further along...
Page 11, Post 103 has a good copy of the instructions (but read the whole thread)
Also, heres a link to the corresponding thread in the Captivate forums
Can someone who has had Tmobile US for at least 40 days put a request in for an unlock code for my Vibrant? I only have ATT and no friends with Tmo. The Tmobile unlock team already refused my request. You would just need to call Customer Service, ask for the unlock team. I tried all the solutions in the forums - I have a messed up nv_data (bought it on craigslist). Shoot me a PM if your willing to help. Thanks in advance.
how many days since you have your vibrant?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I bought it 2 days ago from a guy on craigslist
There is an apk you can get called sgs unlock and it will give you the unlock code
the sgs unlocker doesn't work if the vibrant's had the JI6 update flashed or any other custom ROMs in it.
I'm also trying to unlock my JI6 updated vibrant. I was a dumbass and didn't unlock it when it was on JFD.
I paid cellunlocker.net for a code, but apparently it takes up to 3 days to get the code.
Yup,it had ji6 when I got it, and tmo won't give me the code cause I'm not their customer
And abaybas, please let me know if the code you get works
In this case, would you be able to unlock it if you flash your phone with JFD stock ROM then flash it back to JI6?
Nope. I odin'd back to stock. Ive tried the fixes. I just need someone to contact tmo for me
Ill do it. Whats the imei on the phone? it can take up to 72hrs but most times when I call its less.
No need! Just got it unlocked with a file that helroz sent me
Repeat: You can unlock a JI6 flashed phone using a file that changes the SIM unlock code (I was running bionix fusion when i did it)
Someone please work with him to turn it into an app if thats possible... its just a couple bat files and a jar that edit the files i believe
Thanks so much french dude (helroz)
wow can't believe you can do that in JI6 update, cuz i know about one unlock method that erases your phone's IMEI number and unlocks it permanently but thats questionable to be.
he sent me a repair_nv_data.zip and it fixed my nv_data and maintained the imei thats listed under my battery

Can you post that file and and the steps you took to recover here? I'm sure someone in the same situation will find it valuable.

I am actually in the same situation. I cant get mine unlocked using the app because it doesnt give me an unlock code and just says 'are you sure this is a galaxy s phone?'. I also tried paying for a code and the code did not work, the guy who did it also retried a second time and the code was the same, so I dont know whats up with that. My IMEI is the same as whats on my original box. I tried hacking the nv_data.bin myself using the guide posted somewhere in the i9000 thread. If someone could send me that fix I would be very grateful.

why don't you try calling t-mobile and get your code?
the sgs unlocker won't work to me too. my only chance left is the code from t-mobile.

I would rather try this method. I'm not paying again for a code that may not work. I already paid $20 to swiftunlocks and the code didn't work. I got this phone 2 weeks ago and I still haven't been abke to use it.

So I have been searching around here for quite a long time and the only solutions that I found is either to ask one from T mobile or to buy an unlock code.
My question is, is there a rom or something that I could flash so that my hd2 would be sim unlocked?
Or is there a way to sim unlock this for free besides asking the code from T mobile?
Many thanks to those who would answer
edit:
or maybe someone who is a T mobile user could request a sim unlock code for me. It would be greatly appreciated

I am not a T-Mobile user, and I guess you are not too. Your best bet and easiest is probably buying an unlock code. You could search some of the threads and see which online services are the best. No ROM can unlock the SIM on your phone.

Yep, two options, no more.
If you can find a download for a LEODIAG.zip file you can SIM unlock it with that. You run the file just like you would if you were going to flash a ROM via SD card. Just follow the on screen instructions select yes to everything and when the process is done either do a battery pull or press the reset button to boot the device back into the RoM. Now I am not sure if you absolutely have to have a Windows Mobile ROM on the device when you do this but I suggest you flash Windows Mobile ROM before you run the LEODIAG. zip just to be safe.

can this be done while running windows mobile and not having magdlr/cwm?
edit:
so I found a LEODIAG.zip and I saw on the thread that it doesn't really sim unlock your phone.
have you already unlocked a phone using this way? if yes, please do tell the specific steps
I've played with leodiag and I'm pretty sure it can't unlock it. (Otherwise I'm sure we'd all know about it,, ,we've had Leodiag a long time)
I've attached it,,its not really a zip, I just added .zip for the file upload filter.

After reading your post Sam I think you are correct I confused myself yesterday cause I was thinking about me using a DIAG file to unlock my Sensation. But there is another option to SIM unlock the HD2, you can use the XTC Clip to SIM unlock it and it does use a LEODIAG.nbh file bit it is not all it uses. With all the numerous videos on YouTube I can not believe it is not a better video on using the XTC Clip with the HD2, in fact I can only find the same two videos I found the first time I looked on YouTube several months ago. The below is the best of the two.
not unlock but is a good solution for me...
I buy a Simple Mobile sim card from ebay .99 cents and i just make a number portability by myself . Well done.. i have my same phone number but with simple mobile in tmobile phone. Actually simple moblie work on all tmobile phones.

Hmm didnt see that your right. I have to see this, my GS5 has been sitting here with a bad esn due to early termination from the previous owner and honestly I dont use it like I use my LG G2 because of that.
UPDATE
Still tracking down what triggers the SHA256 to turn off so that it would read my sim. I did place my sim back into my GSIII so I can have service in the mean time but my sim is locked to 3G. Something happened to the sim when fiddling around with the settings on the S5.
For those who want to play around and see if they can find the trigger all you have to do is have: Root, SuperSU, BusyBox, and Shortcut Master Lite installed. Allow Shortcut Master root privileges and click menu Secret Code Explorer and go through the codes one by one.
Like I said im still trying to find out what exactly triggered the SHA256 to turn off.
I see there are some skeptics posting comments, just feel free to post a different unlock method if your not happy with waiting on this one!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to know if is possible to use the SM-G935A model in Europe? I know that USA models are using differend network frequencies so I was not sure...
Also how can I check and know for sure if the phone is carrier locked, and if it is, is there any way to unlock it here in Bosnia?
Should be fine but check what frequencies your network uses and then compare

It supports Band 3, 7 and 20, commonly used for LTE in the UK and Europe.
It also supports both 2G and 3G on all networks in Bosnia.
Since all countries in the EU use the same LTE bands, it'll work everywhere.
Thank you both for the replies.
Which site is recomended for carrier unlock, I have found cellularunlocker (dot)net but I am not sure if it is reliable and safe to use? It costs 25$
I am sorry if this is not allowed to ask on the forums.

Hello, thank you very much. I will try it and I am familiar with flashing roms, so I will use ODIN to flash a stock ROM which is rebranded. But could you be a little more specific about the partition file, as where I can find them and how to flash it?
Is there a risk of bricking the phone?

Don't know if there are any, but you'll have to find the newest SM-G935A ROM with a PIT file, apparently that removes the network lock.
If you're still hesitant to flash, you'll have to find a reputable cell phone unlock code website. Not sure about them since I've never needed to use one.

Whats your model number? Go into the phone settings and check in there. The more details you provide the faster you will get an answer. Going through the Odin process you mentioned will not unlock your phone. It lets you change to different carrier firmware but you still need an unlocked device otherwise it will not work.

Strangely I cannot find anything on that model # you posted. Are you sure; there is F after GM950? Can you go to Samsung official website > http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/phones/galaxy-s/s/_/n-10+11+hv1rp+zq1xa/ and find your model? Also, can you also share your baseband version as well?
Edit: Looks like you have the Exynos model which goes by different alias (SM-G950G, G950G, SM-G959FD, G950FD)? Is that correct? .
This happened to me earlier today also. I have the G955F since late May and all has been well. I wanted to Flash CarHDRom V.4.1.1 today coming from Renovate. First boot with new rom I get the unlock sim screen. (never seen this after almost 8 years of flashing) Also a standing message in notifications "network locked sim card".
The sim card works fine in my backup phone. Why would it all of a sudden do this and how do I find the unlock code? Phone is otherwise useless now.
