Hello!

I don't get where you guys get all of this information?

I bought a Samsung Galaxy mini S 5570 on travel in Spain due a lost mobile phone. Though can't use it in my own country because of the lock.


The provider I currently have is Yoigo Spain.

The rest of this codes, numbers and other information, i don't know where you get them?
 
Can someone please help me?

If i want to root my phone with superoneclick, the problem gots stuck when making step 6... then I have to close it forced because nothing happens anymore for a while.
Or do i just have to wait for maybe hours? (I'll do without a problem if that can help :))


Also, the next step, rootexplorer.apk, I downloaded it but don't understand. The step says: install on your mobile phone... but how?

Thank you very much for your help!

Had to install Java jdk-7u2-windows-x64 to run Android SDK Manager and SuperOneClick but it all worked fine. Phone is now rooted and free! Thank you!
 
I am running Vista 64 bit and already from the start my cmd is different, which of course doesn't affect the process, but seemed odd to me anyways.

C:\Users\USERNAME>cd..

C:\Users>cd..


C:\>cd adb
The system cannot find the path specified.
C:\>cd adb
The system cannot find the path specified.

C:\>

Every time I try to use the command 'cd adb' it comes up with this. Any solutions.. ? I am able to access all my files on my phone, which must mean that the driver is correct as well.

Atention on step 3. Can't find the path becouse you didn't extract superoneclick in c:\ that's why it can't find the folder becouse it isn't there. ;)
 
Sorry mate, will try again another time, but didn't realise that I didn't SuperOneClick as well, I'd heard it was only used to root a phone. My apologies and thanks for your help. Will let you know if this works.
 
Thank You VERY VERY VERY VERY much. I unlocked my Friends S5570 just right now.

I'm so happy because my Friend will be more happy then me )

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
 
I just registered to say: Thank you so much StoneBoyTony!

I succesfully unlocked my Samsung GT-S5570, by following every step closely. It took me some time, to become familiar with the new mobile [ my first smartphone ;-) ] but after two days of trying out I found the right way to unlock it. I was very nervous, in fear of bricking the device. It all turned out working in the end. :D

Can someone help me please with this question?

Like the next step then: put this file on your SD card.


Where exactly do you have to put it in your SD card, on which map?

Thank you! Can't wait to use it finally!!

Thanks Stoneboytony!!! Your detailed explanation really worked! Thanks . I saved 15 quid. This was my first attempt at unlocking… and was successful as well.
There are 3 logical steps:
1. Rooting your phone to have superuser access.
2. Installation of some file manager (Root explorer or Astro)
3. Running ADB Shell and mount other commands.
4. Safe exit and entering the unlock code.

Being a newbie, I was stuck at pt. 2 as I didn’t know how to install root explorer apk. But then I downloaded Astro file manager and installed root explorer apk to continue with the process.

Now it can work with any network !! Freedom! Now will try some other mods.
 
Even here it succeeded too!!! Perfect!! Thank you very much!! :D:D

(Phone company: Spanish YOIGO prepaid formula -
reason: phone lost during travel, necesarry to buy new one in Spain but seemed to be locked while I live in North of Europe, so couldn't use it. Yoigo couldn't provide the code.)


Only one question left: all the apps I installed onto my phone during the process (root explorer, astro etc.) How do I open them on my phone again in case I ever want to use them?

Many thanks!
 
Great work, i followed this down to the tee and it worked 110% on my galaxy mini S5570 locked to optus in australia no more. Now to just get an official clean rom for my region.
 
StoneBoyTony - YOU ARE A LEGEND! This thing worked like a charm on SAMSUNG GALAXY FIT (GT-S5670) in Australia, locked to vodafone. I first tried the code-unlocking website and paid them $6, but got a reply that my phone can not be unloacked.

I bought a pre-paid phone from the local retailer and flashed it to remove the Vodafone custom Rom.

You can FLASH it using the firmware from the below link.
[REF][S5670] List Of All Official Firmwares --2.3.6 the latest--Updated on 28/12/11- - xda-developers

I flashed it using the European version
FW name->S5670XWKQ2
Version-> 2.3.4

The only difference in the steps was at step18 my phone did not ask for permission.
