Bell Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant Unlocked!

POSTED BY: GuruDaniel | Follow Me

August 21, 2024

Finally! After almost a month of turmoil, Canada’s “best” Android phone has finally been unlocked, and it isn’t through one of those expensive third-party providers. In fact, you can unlock the device yourself. All you need is root access, a tiny .exe file, and a little Command Prompt knowledge.

See, the unlock code is in fact embedded in the device; all that needed to happen was someone to decode the hex values. So, over the last 24 hours, Galaxy S owners the world over have paraded around in their large underwears, dancing the jig of the carrier-free man.

I can confirm that procedure works, and I am currently using a Rogers SIM on the Bell Galaxy S Vibrant.

Hit up XDA-Developers for more information, and thank the original poster for his hard work!

Thanks so much, GuruDaniel. Now it’s the final decision stage between the Desire or the Galaxy S.nnAre you experiencing A-GPS accuracy issues with this Galaxy even when on Rogers? How is the performance of this device compared to Nexus One/Desire?

Thanks so much, GuruDaniel. Now it’s the final decision stage between the Desire or the Galaxy S.

Are you experiencing A-GPS accuracy issues with this Galaxy even when on Rogers? How is the performance of this device compared to Nexus One/Desire?

The GPS accuracy was equally bad on both Rogers and Bell. I can usually get a fix within 5-10 seconds, but the signal is erratic, and will often get lost every ten minutes. Very frustrating!nnThe performance is great, though I have performed a so-called “lag fix” on the phone that should not be necessary. The Nexus One is still a faster phone because the ROMs I was using had a much newer Linux kernel, and it was running Froyo. But I have no doubt that this device will surpass the N1 in speed when Froyo is officially released.

Is it worth waiting for the Rogers Samsung Captivate?
