Easy unlock for Galaxy S - Maybe doable for i5700 ?

[ph1lw]

Found on XDA:
The original messages have changed to make it easier, but i saved the conversation.
The unlock code is saved in bml3 file, on my i5700 this is my newboot logo.

The new link is:

Ok before we get started I need to make this REALLY clear. This did not work for my i9000 at first…. I cannot guarantee you will find your code…. If your device freezes (to many attempts) I am sorry but I cannot be held responsible.

Using ADB
Make sure that Network Lock is the only thing on... go to phone and enter *#7465625#
Make sure USB debugging is enabled (Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging)
Step 0.5. – The easy way

For Mac (UPDATE New tool here)
Download and extract the attached Generate Unlock Mac.zip.
Open Terminal and run Generate_Code.sh
Save the code
Jump to step 3.

For Windows (UPDATED Now includes Un-Freeze Code)
Download and extract the attached Generate Unlock Windows.zip.
Run Generate_Code.bat
Look for the line Network Control Key:YourCode
Save the code
Jump to step 3.

Step 1. – Get the file
You need to have root
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /dev/block
dd if=/dev/block/bml3 of=/sdcard/bml3.bak
mount USB storage and copy the file off the internal SD card

Step 2. – Find the code
Try this

It's a win32 executable. Run the program from command line with the blockdevice backup as parameter:

c:\sgux.exe bml3.bak

IT returns the unlock code fory your phone.

It's based on the tip posted on this thread by rhcp0112345.

It's works with european sgs.
OR
Open the file in a HEX editor
Search for SSNV
At the end of this block of data there should be a string of numbers
(my unlock code started at 0x18005a)
The format will be numbers.unlockcode.numbers

Step 3. – Enter the code
Power down your phone
Put in a SIM card from another carrier
Power up your phone
When it boots up it will ask for the unlock code that you found above

OR if you don't have another SIM you can try this (NOT TESTED) (Thanks RazvanG)

remove sim card
power on phone without sim
enter *7465625*638*# and relock the phone to another network other than the one u have u'r sim card (eg 22610)
power off phone
insert sim card back
power on and enter nck code extracted from .bak file
phone unlocked

Hmm..interesting
In the "IMEI restore howto" thread the the /dev/stl10 is on /efs, so Galaxy S's /dev/block/bml3 is equal with Spica's /dev/stl10?

Well, I tried the Windows unlocker, but no results

Well, I tried the Windows unlocker, but no results

it would be a great thing

[verszipo]

I have the impression that Spica and Galaxy S use different methods of locking/unlocking so this won't work, at least not unless we find a similar file that contains the code.

I hope somebody will find something

i'm interested on this... need to unlock my spica just in case... my network provider is getting worse day by day and i'm not in any contract with them..

Any progress, anyone tried?
