How to unlock Samsung Galaxy mini completely for free

Samsung Galaxy mini GT-S5570

¿How to know if a mobile is free? In the following tutorial, I will explain to you in a simple and completely free way, how to unlock Samsung Galaxy mini, or also known as GT-S5570, so that we can use it with the operator that suits us best.

In a previous tutorial, I showed you how to unlock a good number of Samsung terminals using Galaxy unlockUnfortunately, this simple tool is not compatible with the Samsung Galaxy mini, that's why the reason for this new tutorial, with which you will get in a matter of a couple of minutes, have the Samsung Galaxy mini unlocked so that you can enjoy it with the operator you want.

Important announcement

The completion of this tutorial, will void the warranty of your terminalSo if you just bought it, think carefully about what you are doing and take responsibility for your actions.

We will need to have inserted a micro-usb memory card during the process of obtaining the unlock code.

Preparing the Samsung Galaxy mini

The first thing we should do, will root the Samsung Galaxy mini, since to carry out the following tutorial we will have to fiddle with the internal files of the phone itself, and for this we must have superuser permissions.

Once we have our terminal correctly rooted, we will download the Android Terminal Emulator application from the Play Store, which is the application with which we are going to unlock our Samsung Galaxy mini in a totally free way.

We are going to do the unlocking process using a series of commands to access the internal files of our terminal and get the unlock code that will allow us to successfully unlock our device.

It is essential that copy the commands as I attach them, respecting the spaces and all the orthographic signs.

Releasing the terminal

We will open the application that we just downloaded from Play Store, and it is none other than the Android Terminal Emulator.

Next we will introduce the following command:

su and we will press the key Enter, with this a screen will appear that asks us superuser permissions, we will accept to grant the application root privileges, and we will continue with the following commands.

  • cd / sd card
  • mkdir unlock
  • chmod 555
  • mount -o nosuid, ro, nodev -t vfat / dev / block / stl5 / sdcard / unlock
  • cat /sdcard/unlocking/mits/perso.txt

Now on the screen of our terminal, we will be shown a very long number ending in many zeros, something like this: 692457 9727481700000000000000000000000 #.

We will copy that code well, since a part of it will be the one that we will use to finally unlock our Samsung Galaxy mini. (the zeros will not need to be copied).

We will finish the process with Android Terminal Emulator typing the following commands:

  • umount / sdcard / unlock
  • rm -r unlock
  • reboot

Now the Samsung Galaxy mini will reboot, and once it is fully operational, we will change the original SIM card by one of another operator, we will mark the PIN full SIMs. in question and a new screen will appear asking us for the carrier unlock code.

Operator unlock code

Now we will take the number that we wrote down previously, but only its last eight digits excluding zeros, so from the original number, 692457 # 9727481700000000000000000000000.

We would remove all the zeros, and from the resulting number we should only take the last eight digits, being such that:

 692457 #97274817

The shaded part in bold would be the unlock code from our terminal.

We would enter the unlock code in the Samsung Galaxy mini, and even if it returned an error, we would already have the terminal correctly unlocked, to check it we can try to make any phone call.

    Very good!! Thank you very much and very well explained !!

    1.    Francisco Ruiz said

      Thanks to you I compi.
      I'm glad I helped you

  2.   paul paul said

    I get when I put its not found command and when I put the mount…. It puts mount: opperation not allowed and when I put the cat thing it puts me no such file or directory.algien can help me !!!!

    1.    FranciscoRuizAntequera said

      That is because you are not a root user and you do not have special permissions, before continuing with this tutorial you must root your terminal.

      1.    hacknorduk said

        hello at the moment I am following your steps but I get to this #chmod 555
        Usage: chmod
        mount -o nosuid, ro, nodev -t vfat / dev / block / stl5 / sdcard / unlock
        # mount -o: not found

        any idea i'm doing wrong

      2.    supergataco said

        Sorry, but I don't get the screen to put the network password. The mobile starts up when I put the pin on it but it doesn't ask for the unlock key. I have done the steps 20 times. It is well rooted, it has a rom that is not Cyanogen (I read that with a Cyanogen rom the screen would not come out). I do not know what to do. The mobile with the original of movistar if it works correctly. But nothing, the screen of the unlock key does not come out.

        Hello, I recently bought this cell phone and it puts a padlock in the middle on the phone lock screen and on one side it makes me confirm and on the other emergency I do not know what to do

  3.   headofmoney said

    Hello good, first thank you very much for the contribution, but I have a problem and I got the number I have done everything right but when I turn on the phone with the sim of another operator I do not get the screen to enter the code, any ideas?

    1.    FranciscoRuizAntequera said

      And what do you get ?, Enter the operating system correctly ?.
      Try to make a call to see if he asks you to do so.

      1.    headofmoney said

        If it gets normal, it does not ask for the unlocking code and when I call the normal process is followed but immediately puts the call ended

        1.    FranciscoRuizAntequera said

          The only thing I can think of is that you replace the original sim, make a call and then change it for the other one.
          If this does not work for you, repeat the process again paying special attention to all the steps, do not give you an error that has gone unnoticed.

          1.    headofmoney said

            that goes friend does not work anymore nor does he call with the vodafone card

            1.    headofmoney said

              hey, do you know if there is a way to undo the process that the unlock screen does not come out nor does it work with the original sim, or maybe there is some way to reinstall the operating system or something like that, erase everything and reinstall some rom, I need something that I have I tried everything and nothing works for me

              1.    FranciscoRuizAntequera said

                You will have to re-flash an original rom, on the sammobile.com page you have all the necessary tools, including the drivers.
                What has happened to you is because you have not followed the process as I told you, or you have made a mistake when entering a command.

                1.    headofmoney said

                  The firmware will be updated, I will try and install some roms and nothing still does not work with the original card, it is as if the card were automatically blocked, the case is that the coverage marks appear but as soon as you make a call it is cut off before To start, maybe you can enter a command in the android emulator to get the unlock screen, right?

                  1.    Francisco said

                    What have you done so that the 0123465789012346 does not appear


                  2.    grabidc said

                    Did you solve the problem? Same thing happened to me!


                2.    headofmoney said

                  that I will update the firmware, and try to install some romsy
                  nothing still doesn't work even with the original card, it's as if
                  will automatically block the card, the case is that the marks appear
                  coverage but as soon as you make a call it is cut off before starting,
                  maybe you can enter a command in the android emulator that
                  for the unlock screen to come out, right?

                  1.    FranciscoRuizAntequera said

                    I would repeat the process very carefully when entering the different commands


                  2.    headofmoney said

                    I have already repeated it 3 times and everything goes well, only when the numbers come out it puts me 01234567012345670123456701234567 # and it remains the same without leaving the unlock screen


                  3.    FranciscoRuizAntequera said

                    I can't think of what to tell you more, go into the settings menu and do a factory reset, then try flashing a new rom with odin.


                  4.    headofmoney said

                    The same friend, everything is the same, I think it was something that I touched on the system in the android emulator application, you could not insert a command to bring up the screen to enter the lock code?


                  5.    FranciscoRuizAntequera said

                    That I know not friend, but I'll look around, and if I find out something I will tell you.


        2.    FranciscoRuizAntequera said

          Put the original sim back in and make a call, then put the other sim back in and see if it asks for the code, if not, try again to make a call.
          If this doesn't work for you, repeat the unlocking process again, paying special attention to all the steps.

  4.   marc8slg said

    Hello I have done the whole tutorial and in principle everything had gone well and I have obtained a code very similar to the one you put there, the bad thing is that the phone cannot restart and the screen does not stop lighting up and off but without starting. Does anyone know what happened ???

  5.   marc8slg said

    What can I do to solve this ???

  6.   marc8slg said

    the screen lights up and you can read samsung but it shuts down immediately to come back on a couple of seconds later. and it stays that way all the time. I do not know what to do!!!!

    1.    FranciscoRuizAntequera said

      You will have to re-flash an original rom, on the sammobile.com page you have all the necessary tools, including the drivers.
      What has happened to you is because you have not followed the process as I told you, or you have made a mistake in some command, I have already released more than twenty terminals with this system and all with success and without problems.

  7.   Ricardo said

    Man managed to free him ... I had him in Movistar (Peru) and I put a Sim from Claro (Peru) Everything went well; I made calls and received calls, sent and received messages; but it did not last for an hour then he put me: Only emergency calls? What is this about? Help me.

    PD: At times it becomes Claro; but I try to call and it comes out. Network not available = S

    Any solution???

    The team is 100% free following your steps.

    Thanks

  8.   rtad said

    Thank you very much jhehe thank you toi I have saved 15 euros that he charged me for releasing him

    1.    FranciscoRuizAntequera said

      Glad to be of assistance.
      Greetings friend

  9.   manu08gordon said

    I have downloaded the program from the play store and when I enter the command su it tells me not found

    1.    FranciscoRuizAntequera said

      Do you have it rooted?

      1.    Chus said

        Yes, I have rooted it without any problem.

      2.    Mobile said

        I do not know if you realize that you screwed up a lot of people, I think there are 2 phones that were released and more than 100 that died in the attempt, because you do not delete the hell this farting tutorial this because you are going to continue burning the phones Everyone, to those who could, you give nothing friend and to those who died you play the fool and you do not put anything or you put me free 20 and they walk 10, it seems to me that you know less than the nob who just grabbed a mobile! !!

        1.    Francisco Ruiz said

          I do not know what way you have to tell, but hey, if you continue with the Tuto to the letter, I assure you that it works.
          In addition, each one is responsible for their actions, and if you are not sure you know or can do it, do not do it.

          Have they put a gun to your chest for you to do it? He appreciates the time spent in proposing solutions, more or less successful, but that the application depends on the criteria of each one.
          But of course, from what you say, criteria is something that you lack.

      The same thing happens to me, I don't know because when I put its k is the first command it puts me not found

      1.    Francisco Ruiz said

        That is because you will not be a root user, so you do not have it rooted.

    How do I get rooted?

  11.   arturo_jose3 said

    Hello good. I have my mobile rooted, and in the menu I have the application "Superuser", then in the emulator I put "su" and it comes out "Permission denied".

    Explanation??

    1.    louiskonde said

      It has not been rooted correctly, the same thing happened to me and we have to do it again

    2.    Miriam Entenza said

      or restart it.

  12.   alexriojito said

    I put the keys one after another pulse enter in each one and then I do not get the code, someone knows why it does not come out, please

  13.   louiskonde said

    A couple of tips in case it can be of use to someone. First of all, indicate that the manual is perfect and very well explained. I have encountered some problems that with a certain study I have managed to solve:
    1.- With W7 I managed to automatically download the drivers when connecting the terminal, but it did not recognize it as a disk drive, although it told it to do so (horizontal bar scrolling down in the android terminal…). This caused me with the rooting software to stay at the beginning and do nothing.
    What I did was connect it to a Windows XP, install the proprietary software with the drivers from Samsung's official website and then it worked and it could be rooted.

    2.- Some command failed once it was broken, specifically chmod 555, it must be chmod 555 *. *

    3.- When entering the unlock code, despite indicating that the code is wrong then it worked perfectly.

    All these errors or strange things happened to me for 3 that I have made with Android OS 2.3.5

    regards

    Help please.

    1.    FranciscoRuizAntequera said

      You have to check that everything is written as I told you in the post, a simple sign or a space can give you an error in the process.

      1.    Miriam Entenza said

        In the first "his" he already puts that for me.

    Is it possible that after releasing it, the internet connection that I have contracted or Wi-Fi does not work for me? Thank you

    1.    FranciscoRuizAntequera said

      I have done it in about twenty terminals and I have never had any problems.

    Hello
    I have a problem when writing the command mkdir unlocking I get something «failed for unblocking», file exists ... I think that from there I got the error because after everything it says «not found» and «invalid lenght» and words like this and it does not give me any number ... I copy and paste the commands and give enter each command that I am adding ... what could it be ???

  21.   tavio-sama said

    Hello again ... I solved my previous problem, I already have the code and I have done all the steps and the normal telcel network is fine if it works, but when I put the chip from another company (iusacel) it never asks me for any password ... it tells me « network blocked »but it doesn't give me the option to put a password anywhere…. what should I do ??

  22.   Vladdracko said

    good, when I put the last command (cat /sdcard/unblock/mits/perso.txt), instead of giving me the code,, and it says: »no such file», does anyone know what I can do?
    Thanks in advance.

  23.   mjosek33 said

    Hello, when I connect my galaxi mini to the pc, it seems to me that there is an update of the kies, I put update and the cell is "blocked". I put it in quotation marks because I don't know if I'm using the word correctly ... what happens to the cell phone is that it has a black screen, and an image of a cell phone and a PC joined by dots and with an exclamation point in between . So it remained and the company tells me that it is a software problem and that they cannot fix it. If someone can help me "revive" it, I like my cell phone and I want to get it back. Thank you.

    Greetings, I followed all the steps and had no problems until I rebooted.
    When I rebooted it was a little slow but normal, then I turned it off to change the chip, after that I started and it did not ask for the lock key nor did it have a signal.
    I turned it off in case there was an error but it no longer starts, it only shows the black screen of galaxy mini.
    PLEASE HELP!
    I already tried to restart the OS by pressing the home + power button but nothing happens.

    One question, in the third order you put chmod 555, but it doesn't make sense.
    It will be: chmod 555 unlock. Do not?? Do you want to give permissions to that folder or what? I don't want to do it until you clarify this question for me, thanks for everything

  30.   asdfsadfas said

    Chmod 555? Who do you give permissions to? If there is only the order?

      the full command is chmod 555 unlock

  32.   asdfsadfas said

    The third order is wrong. Must be: chmod 555 unlock
    It is used to give permissions to the unlock folder.
    I tried it without hesitation for being obvious, but I comment it for people who do not know Linux.

                Try to flash an original firmware first, so they don't realize that you have rooted and manipulated it

                1.    Francisco Ruiz said

                  Pay attention to all the paos, eat uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as the spaces, if something does not come out as it says here, you are doing something wrong.

          Well I rotated it for two weeks and it worked perfectly for me now I have three sims from the cell phone companies of Chile I do not have any problem but I go to them to ask for something more like being able to have free internet I have a friend who has the same device I walked in the Pais Vesino i gave him a great job even though he has no balance even with my own without having free internet as this device has network anchor it is good to use the notebook my device is the samsung gt5570l if someone could help me please my email is rafael_viki@hotmail.com can you send me the data ayi in advance thank you very much

  39.   Francisco Ruiz said

    I do not know what you do to load it but I am freaking out, I have done it many times and without problems, like many users of the BLOG. If the tutorial was wrong, there wouldn't be one that would have turned out right.
    Anyway, those who have problems try to check if they have access to the download mode, if so, you can recover it with odin and an original firmware.

Anyway, thanks for the contribution, all of us who try to do something like free the mobile without being knowledgeable in the subject, we must know that it involves a risk. Now we will have to put it in download mode ...

    First of all, thank you very much for this magnificent tutorial, I have followed it and everything is perfect except that in the code that it gives me after the command cat /sdcard/unblock/mits/perso.txt
    If I remove the zeros, I only have 7 figures left, an example:
    12345 123456700000000000000000000000 #
    Am I to count the pad then?
    Do I take a zero from the end?
    Do I use only 7 digits

    1.    Francisco Ruiz said

      I suppose you should get a 0 from the end but I'm not sure why this has never happened to me

    Hello, I have followed all the steps to the letter, you have given me the code, I have respected it and well, I turn off to insert a card from another operator and it does not start up, it remains caught in the samnsung screen. What I do?

  46.   Joseph_4_6_90 said

    Hello, I have gotten the unlock code but when I put the new SIM to put the PIN and later the unlock code, the mobile has been blocked and it does not pass me from the samsung home screen, so I can not Neither finish the process nor turn on the mobile normally. What I can do??

  48.   Elken said

    Hello ! I have followed all the steps and he gave me the unlock code but when I enter the other operator's sim I still get the message: network lock followed by a padlock and the word reject, therefore it does not let me enter the code, so how do you do? do I have to ask for the code ???

    1.    Alex de la Rosa said

      Same thing happened to me. I have my cell phone with telcel from Mexico and I couldn't do the unlock. What I did was pass it to Gingerbread with this manual https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRvcWz6xwuE (It worked perfect for me but I am not responsible for it for obvious reasons) and when I put the Movistar chip on it, it sent me directly to the screen to put the same code.

    Changing the third command "chmod 555" to "chmod 555 unlock" works perfectly even if "unmount ..." does not work, amazing but true. Thanks a lot.
    PS: If when you put «su» the superuser window does not appear or returns a «su not found» that means that you have the app «superuser» installed but you DO NOT HAVE THE MOBILE ROOTED, so root it with, for example, the Unlock Root that It is the one that I have used.

    There is a simpler, brick-free method. I have released Yoigo's Galaxy Mini S5570 safely and very easily. The process is the following:
    1: be root (look at this post http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=230297 )
    2: install busybox. Execute busybox and from there you give install
    3: install the GalaxyAceUnlock app
    4: run unlock
    5: write down the unlock code
    6: put sim of another operator
    7: put sim pin
    8: enter unlock code
    9: done
    If it gives you an error in the code, ignore it, it works the same.
    There is NO danger of bricking the phone even if you get confused about the code.
    I hope it works for you like me. All the best

    1.    Nacho said

      First of all thanks to J.Sanchez.
      The method above did not give me the mount command, there is an error there is something wrong, but I don't know what it is.

      I have finally done it by this method. well it has been a hybrid. I have installed the "SuperOneClick" to root the phone. look here and use this: https://www.androidsis.com/como-rootear-tu-terminal-android-con-superoneclick/

      Where it says choose universal, I used auto. This causes an application called "SuperUser" to be installed but not run. This allows access at the supervisor or administrator level of the Android system.

      Once finished, restart the mobile and I did it with the sim that works from origin. I directly installed what J.Sanchez says, »install the GalaxyAceUnlock app»
      You execute it and it calls the previous application and asks for supervisor rights, you accept it and it returns to the GalaxyAceUnlock application, click on the unlock button and wait for the code, it may take 1-2 minutes for me, it took me less than 30 ″.
      Then you restart with the new sim and enter the number that you have been given, it gave me an unlocking error, but I accepted it and IT WORKS !! With pepephone and yoigo I have tried and it works and originally it was from Telefónica.
      Good luck.

      you are stupid ... with those commands, you do not copy anything, you MOVE THE FILE, and that is where the problems begin, in addition to the fact that you are missing 2 steps with the terminal emulator ..., therefore, if you do not follow the steps to the letter, you will fund the mobile ...

      Has anyone ever thought of looking at the imei after releasing it like this? sure that more than one or the imei has been changed, or directly, it has gone ..

      That method works, but it is not safe. THE SECURE METHOD IS TO COPY THE FILE.

      It's what copy paste has to do without looking closely at where you copy it from ...

    Unlocked a samsung galaxy mini on 01/04/2013 without problems. At first I was wrong; first because I forgot to insert the SD card and then when I copied some of the commands. Once those two bugs were fixed, it worked perfectly. An observation: In my case after the # when taking the eight numbers, IF I had to take a 0; because otherwise it only had 7 numbers; until I realized that detail I had two unsuccessful attempts.

    THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!

  134.   Manuel Angel Lopez Valverde said

    Let's see I comment on the small bugs that I have seen that nobody, absolutely nobody comments on any page where this tutorial appears. On many, many occasions I come across devices that do not accept these "generic" codes. Why? Well, because the directories that you expose are not always these, I comment on the possible solution to many errors with the codes.

    - cd / sdcard (you will see a little message putting "/ mnt / sdcard", take a good look at this)

    - mkdir / mnt / sdcard / unlock

    - chmod 555 / mnt / sdcard / unlocking

    - mount -o nosuid, ro, nodev -t vfat / dev / block / stl5 / mnt / sdcard / unlock

    - cat /mnt/sdcard/unblock/mits/perso.txt

    - We take the code, remember, it is 8 digits, if for example the code is 123456 # 1234508000000000000000000000000 and we take the number 1234508 it will not work, so we take the next 0, thus leaving 12345080.

    - we do all the steps described to unlock the phone.

    I hope I have helped you, since the same thing happens to many people, and they do not find an answer, for this, I have already taken care to remove it, greetings to all.

    Those who have trouble entering the Linux commands, I advise that they copy them to a text editor (Word for example), to make sure where there are spaces and where there are not. And for other types of problems, look at information about Linux commands and thus really know what is being done and check it.

    Hello, you will see I have a galaxy mini gt-s5570 and I wanted to release it, I have it rooted in version 2.3.6 and with recovery and everything, the fact is that I was going to release it with the old method with commands in the terminal, and as al mounting the folder did not let me simply copy the stl5 file to my pc and there I opened it with a program called wingimage and I went to the txt and opened it and the code came out, I copied it and put another sim and nothing ... it says that it is released it recognizes any sim, but does not let me call or be called, messages and internet yes but no calls. what could I do wrong? I really need help ... a greeting and thanks.

    I have done all the perfect steps, it is missing to detect the new sim card. It restarts and continues as before, without detecting the card of another operator
