Can someone please help me unlock a Samsung AT&T flight A797 phone?

Thanks so much in advance!

Answer #2
Roberto, thanks. The problem is, it’s not working. It could be I was doing it wrong, but I don’t think I was. Can anyone help?
Answer #3
The problem is, it's not working.?
Mind being more specific? Describe exactly what you did (Step by step) so I could determine if you did it correctly or not.
Answer #4
Sure, sorry… 1) When the phone was off (or even without the battery) nothing happened when I pressed (and held) the 1 key and Message key. Although, I did try when the phone was on, but it went to a screen that told me I would have 10 tries to try and unlock it with a code and beyond ten, the phone will perminately be locked. So I didn’t do anything, I just shut the phone off…
2) The driver didn’t read the phone. I installed the file, then held 1+message, attached to USB and nothing happened. Am I suppose to also download the Z3X software? (besides the driver)
Thanks in advance!
Answer #5
Yes, You’re suppose to download the Z3X app, Here’s a link for it:

Follow this guide:

Hope you’ll have better luck this time!

I got an error after installing the samsung tool…
“Unable to execute file:
C:\Program Files\Z3X\Samsung\SamsungTool\SamsungTool.exe

The requested operation requires evaluation.”

If you’re using Vista or higher, Try running it as admin (Right click it>Run as Administrator)

The shell.exe doesn’t have my model (samsung a797)
It has:

BY THE WAY, Thanks SOO much for your time..
Anything else I can try?
Answer #9
Thanks SOO much for your time..
You’re welcome
Anything else I can try?
Try this version (8.6)

It’s the same one used in the guide, So it should support it!
Answer #10
“Error: Card Not Found”
Answer #11
Is there a way to acquire an unlock code for free if I got you the IMEI?
This method is not working for me… Anything else I can try?
Thanks for your patience…
Answer #12
"Error: Card Not Found"
Maybe you installed the wrong driver?
Do you see any device with a yellow mark on it in device manager (While the phone is connected)?
If you do, Try this one:

Is there a way to acquire an unlock code for free
Nope. There are some sites that offer this service, But not freely, It’d cost you $35-40!
You could also just go to your service provider and ask em to do it for you (It’d probably be cheaper that way!)
Answer #13
Still: “Error: Card Not Found”
Answer #14
I think I figured it out, The app requires it’s own special drivers, See this topic:
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f453/z3x-successfully-installed-windows-7-64-bit-methods-1639786/
Edit Nope, That’s not entirely it, It appears the app requires custom made hardware too which is called a z3x box:

So it’s off the table then!
Answer #15
I’m burnt out… I can’t find the smart cards on my computer… I will try again later on my other laptop and start from scratch. Thanks. Will keep you posted..
If you have any other advice, let me know..
Thanks again!
Answer #16
I suggest you re-read my previous post. I’m afraid the Z3X app is no longer a viable option!
You’d have to take it up with your service provider (Or do it online) but either
way, It’d cost you money!
Answer #17
Roberto, Can you go through the steps for me once more? I’m mainly confused because of all the files I’ve downloaded. Tomorrow I am going start fresh on my other laptop… I want to know what file was the most updated one… Also, the phone came with a CD – should I install that cd first? Would that help?
Thanks so much!

I think that pretty much sums it up!
