0:00 / 0:00
what's up guys welcome to another video
my name is Christian and today I'm going
to show you how to unlock your samsung
galaxy note 9 so I have my phone here
and I'm gonna unlock it with you
together in this video it's gonna be
really simple now I have to explain a
couple of things now there are two types
of locks if you want to see it like that
the first one is the carrier unlock and
the second one is the passcode unlock so
the carrier unlock is if you want to use
your phone with any other carrier for
example I bought my phone with t-mobile
or with AT&T and I want to unlock it to
use it with another carrier like
Toulouse Vodafone orange t-mobile any
other carrier so that's the carrier
unlock and the passcode unlock it's in
case you forgot the security code of
your phone or for some reason you're
locked out because you don't know the
security pin or password or that kind of
stuff so I'm gonna show you how to
unlock it so that you're able to use
your phone back again now first we're
gonna start with a passcode unlock and
then we're gonna proceed with a carrier
unlock if you are interested only on the
car you're in luck please go ahead and
skip to this minute because that's where
we start alright so let's start with a
passcode unlock now before we start I
have to mention first all the
information for this phone is going to
be deleted so pictures contacts photos
everything you have videos are gonna be
gone from this phone so just make sure
you have a backup somewhere or if you
don't have a backup you're gonna lose
all your information but at least you're
gonna be able to use your phone again
also make sure your phone is not
activated with a Google account because
if your phone is locked to a Google
account you won't be able to use it
unless you have access to that account
alright so let's start so we're gonna
press and hold the power of button we're
gonna click restart and right after you
click restart you're gonna press and
hold the volume up key the side button
and the power off button and keep
holding it until you see the following
screen alright so here we're gonna use
the volume up and the volume down to
navigate through the menu so first we're
gonna go down and you're gonna click
reset wipe data/factory reset' to make a
selection click on the power button
we're gonna confirm and this is gonna
wipe all the data of this phone perfect
now we're gonna select the first option
reboot system now
all right so this will take a few
seconds and then your phone is gonna be
restored to factory settings and you're
gonna be able to access your phone again
in some cases it's gonna ask you to
enter the Google account with your phone
is currently locked so just go ahead and
write down your email if for some reason
you don't know the password you can
search another YouTube video on how to
bypass the Google lock alright so once
you have done all the initial setup
you're gonna be able to use your phone
and there you have it your phone is now
unlocked and now you can use it and
access it without any problems
ok so now we're gonna start with a card
unlock this is gonna allow you to use
your phone with any other GSM carrier
like t-mobile AT&T Rogers Telus OH - any
GSM carrier so there are different ways
you can unlock a cell phone for example
you can take it to a local phone shop
and you have to leave your phone right
there and they're gonna be able to
unlock it they may charge between 50 and
150 dollars
depending on your phones brand carrier
model now another method that I'm gonna
show you today is doing it yourself it's
by far the simplest and the easiest
method to unlock a cell phone I have
unlocked more than 100 phones using this
method and it works perfectly now I'm
looking at cell phone it's not free so
keep that in mind we're gonna have to
pay something to unlock this cell phone
but in my opinion it's worth every penny
because the value of the phone increases
once it is unlocked and compatible with
any carrier worldwide and the last thing
that I have to mention is that if your
phone is reported as lost or stolen you
will not be able to unlock your cell
phone so just keep that in mind alright
so with all that said let's begin so the
first thing you have to do is to get
your phone's IMEI number that's like the
serial number of your cell phone so
we're gonna open the dialpad and we're
gonna dial star hash zero six hash as
you will see your IMEI number will
appear in the screen we're gonna use
only the first 15 digits so we're gonna
use this number in a few seconds keep it
somewhere close okay now we're gonna
switch to computer we're gonna open the
internet browser and we're gonna go to
the website unlockriver.com in this
website we will request the unlock code
to unlock this cell phone so we just
have to fill in a couple of things here
to request the unlock code so we're
gonna scroll down we're gonna select the
carrier in this case I'm gonna be
unlocking a cell phone from AT&T United
States that's the place where you
originally alright then we're gonna
select the manufacturer Sam Soon and
then you're gonna select the model in
this case I'm gonna be looking at
something galaxy note 9 ok now the most
important part is to write down your 15
digit IMEI number
that's a number we've got a few seconds
ago make sure you write it down
correctly because if there's any stake
here this method will not work and
you're gonna get an error and the final
step is to write down your personal
email where you want to receive your
unlock code so I'm just gonna write it
down here and if you scroll down you're
gonna see the price to unlock your cell
phone under the liberate time now the
delivery time and the price will always
vary depending on your phones brand
carrier model so you have to be very
patient and you have to keep that in
mind then we're gonna click where it
says unlock now on the following screen
you're gonna see a screen just like this
so just double check everything make
sure your IMEI number is correct your
email and everything is 100% correct
this is a summary of your order and then
we're gonna scroll down and we're gonna
place the order it's gonna take a few
seconds so I'm gonna be back once I have
placed my order okay so you visit
everything correctly you're gonna get a
screen just like this it basically
confirmed that the order was placed
successfully and now all you have to do
is to wait until you get your unlock
code in your email you can also see your
order ID and your expected delivery time
ok so let me show you how the email will
look like so we're gonna go to my
personal email account ok so as you can
see here I got an email from unlock
River with an order update and it says
your order has been completed and your
unlock code is ready so if we scroll
down we're gonna get the unlock code nck
code this unlock code will only work for
one specific phone based on the IMEI
number so this exact same code will not
work for you alright so the first thing
you have to do is to power up the phone
so once your phone is fully off you're
gonna insert a non-supported SIM card
for example my phone here is locked to
AT&T I'm gonna use a SIM card from a
different carrier in this case I'm gonna
use a SIM card from a GSM carrier called
Claro and then we're gonna power on the
phone so gonna take a few seconds so
once your phone is on you're gonna see a
message requesting an unlock code so it
says enter network unlock code so that's
the code we got in the email so we're
gonna go ahead and insert this unlock
code
okay and then we're gonna hit where it
says unlock seem network unlock
successful boom there you have it guys
and now my phone is fully unlocked and
ready to be used with any carrier
worldwide alright guys so that's how you
unlock a samsung galaxy s 9 it is as
simple as that if you have any questions
please leave them in a comment section
down below and I will try to answer all
of them thank you so much my name is
Christian and I'll see you on the next
one
