The video provides a comprehensive guide on ethically unlocking a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, applicable to all Samsung Galaxy phones, without using illegal methods or hacking tools. The presenter discusses three types of unlocks: network unlock, passcode unlock, and factory reset protection. The main focus is the network unlock, which allows the phone to be used with any SIM card, eliminating roaming costs and increasing resale value. The legal and safe process involves using the phone's IMEI number and services from unlockriver.com.
Further steps include testing the phone with a new SIM card and entering an unlock code, which for US Samsung phones can sometimes be done through a pre-installed unlock app. The video also covers steps to reset a forgotten passcode by performing a factory reset through recovery mode, which deletes all data on the phone.
The tutorial briefly touches on the complexity of dealing with factory reset protection or Google account locks, suggesting contacting the previous owner for deactivation. Ethical guidelines are provided, and viewers are directed to additional resources for further assistance. The video concludes with a reminder to keep passwords safe and an open invitation for viewer questions, promising quick responses.

In this part of the video, the presenter explains how to unlock a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra through ethical methods. The process applies to all Samsung Galaxy phones and does not involve any illegal activities or hacking tools. The video covers three types of unlocks: network unlock (using the phone with any SIM card), passcode unlock (accessing the device if you’ve forgotten the passcode), and factory reset protection (dealing with Google lock on used phones). The presenter focuses on the network unlock, stating the benefits like eliminating roaming costs and increasing resale value. The process is 100% legal, safe, and does not harm the phone. To start, the required information includes the phone’s IMEI number, which can be obtained by dialing *#06#. The next step involves visiting the website unlockriver.com, selecting the original carrier, country, brand, and model of the phone, and entering the IMEI number and email address for notifications.

In this part of the video, the process of unlocking a phone is detailed. After receiving a notification that your phone has been unlocked, you need to insert a SIM card from a different carrier and power on the device. When prompted, enter the unlock code to unlock the phone. For Samsung Galaxy phones sold by US carriers, an unlock app might already be installed; you just need to use it to request the unlock.
The narrator then tests the phone to confirm it is fully unlocked by making a call. Following this, they proceed with steps to unlock the phone’s passcode if it has been forgotten or if it has been locked due to too many incorrect attempts. This involves performing a factory reset via recovery mode, which deletes all data on the phone. The process includes connecting the device to a computer, entering recovery mode using key combinations, navigating to ‘wipe data/factory reset,’ and confirming the action, followed by rebooting the system to restore it to factory settings.
