If my understanding is correct, Cerebros and may be other unlock software are expecting serial cable in D/L position for unlocking and it is not the COM port assignment that caused the problem. People have tried reassigning the serial port to higher COM such as COM4 and free out COM1 so that one can reassign the usb cable to use COM1 but still failed with Cerebros. I believe you will find less trouble with a PCB093LBE serial cable that has a switch in the middle of the cable.

Ok and where exactly in toronto you are so i can come in person to you if that ok for you..or you can tell me some place where i can get cheap unlocking cable..thanks

Sorry I am not living in the East coast. It'll probably take you 4 hrs by flight to come to meet me. Never mind, just kidding. I saw the other post from xxxSamsungxxx and he is offering to help. Drop him an email.

Did your uncle see the same problem before he gave you the phone? What happens when the phone hangs? Does it display any error message before it hangs? Is the battery charged? Charge the battery for a few hours and see if it helps.

Hi,
For my Samsung 426 the procedure published did not worked and I've contacted cellunlocks point com as advertised on this web site (I was drunk...) .
They charged me $4.99 and sent me the same procedure as the one published in late 2004 in this forum. So see what I mean ???

Unlocking:
If you have Rev 1.5 (x426) or earlier and most older models
Use the *#9998*3323# Trick (look for it on the forum)
The *#1111*WHATEVER# code will NOT work
If you have Rev 1.6 (x426) or later and most newer models
You MUST use unlocking software. Codes WILL lock your phone FOREVER
Locked: Return for Servicing
There is only 1 working solution, you must flash a copy of the firmware that is not in the locked status. (Most) Unlocking programs will NOT disable this issue, and your service provider cannot give you a code
If you do not plan to use your phone with another service provider, there is no real point to unlocking your phone other than to sell it. If you don't need to unlock it, don't take the risk of disabling the phone altogether
The *#9998*3323# Method:
1. If you have changed your phone password, change your password back to the default 8 zeros (00000000).
2. Put a SIM card that is from a network other than the one your phone is locked to
3. When Incorrect SIM error comes up, type *#9998*3323#.
4. White screen will appear with an exit option. Press the right softkey.
5. From the menu that appears, select the Malloc Fail option. This will reboot the phone and the normal service screens will appear.
6. Type *0141# and then press the green call key. "Personalization" or "Personalized" will appear.
7. Turn off your phone and put the original SIM back in.
8. Turn on your phone. You will receive a prompt to enter a password.
9. Type 8 zeros (00000000)
10. Completed. You have now unlocked your phone.
Hello
This method worked for me, and I have a samsung xgh-426 Rev 1.7
After step 6, i tried using the phone using a different sim card and it worked.
I first had a Rogers sim, which came with the phone, I then tried Fido's sim card, it didn't work. Thanks to this post, i got it to work with Fido's SIM card.
Thank you very much.

I know this is a really old thread. but does anyone have a copy of 1.6 X46UEDC1 firmware somewhere? I can't seem to find a working download anywhere online.
