Not that I wouldn't love money, but I work free...
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.
Cerebros Instructions:
1. Make sure phone is plugged into cable, cable is plugged into computer, drivers are installed, and phone is on.
2. Start Cerebros Unlocker 1.5
3. Click the "Models" drop-down box
4. Select your model from list (q100 = x426/x427)
5. Press Unlock
6. Wait until finished and unplug phone
7. Remove battery, replace, and turn phone on
8. Phone is now unlocked
WinIMEI Instructions:
1. Make sure phone is plugged into cable, cable is plugged into computer, drivers are installed, and phone is on.
2. Start WinIMEI
3. Make sure U.S.A. (Voicestream), A Line, 1 PC, and the com port you are using are selected from the appropriate drop-down menus.
4. All selection boxes should be unchecked
5. Click Write IMEI in the bottom center
6. From the new screen that appears click RD IMEI Setting
7. Wait for TestModeOn Pass and the box in the upper right to display Pass and turn green before proceeding
8. Click UnLock from the button cluster in the bottom right
9. Click both Exit buttons and disconnect phone
10. Your phone is now unlocked
Note: All previously listed programs and an unlocked version of the x426 rev 1.6 firmware and optiflash (for flashing it) are available at my site: http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/s/j/sjs342/

^ I've tried that one, but after I get to "malloc fail", and it reboots, it just tells me that I have a SIM error, again. Then, I tried to enter the #014-whatever, it just told me that I could make Emergency Calls only. Any reasons why?
If not, does anyone know, if I buy a code from Ebay, to unlock my Samsung x426, will it give me the same code as you guys have...? Because this one, that I just tried, didn't work. I don't want to buy the code, for $7 if I just got it for free... And it didn't work...

They are selling on ebay what we give for free here. That is capitalizing on free knowledge (which makes me kinda angry) The mallock fail is what is supposed to be crashing the phone lock and the second code should be what is removing the lock permantly. Check http://forums.mobiledia.com/topic17980.html and see if anything in there helps you out.

Sorry!!! guys I tried your method for unlocking my Samsung X426 (AT&T service now defunct) and it didn't work. The password is set to 00000000. I tried to insert a sim from different service and it comes up with "Wrong Card" on the screen. Following it i type *#9998*3323# but it appears as *#9998*----# and it replies "3323 wrong entry".
Plz help me out. I wish I can use this phone when I travel across the borders. U can email me back at ajay_indi@hotmail.com.
Thanks in advance.
