[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ergott:
Hello Everyone,

I've done a bit of searching but still can't find out if i'm having an issue or if this is the way it's suppose to work. This is my first experience with an Unlocked phone as well as Android. So here's the story.

I rooted my phone and then used the Unlock Pro to unlock it. I ordered an AT&T Sim card from Ebay, which arrived last week. I put the Sim card in my phone and it boots up, everything seems fine except that it says "No Service". I contacted AT&T and they confirmed that the Sim is active and it should be working.

To make sure that my phone was unlocked. I used the program to lock it again "with the rogers SIM in it" and then put in the AT&T sim and I was asked for an Unlock Code. So I took that to mean that it was properly unlocked. So I unlocked it again, and then put the Sim in but still "No Service".

I tried to put in the APN settings that I found on a site, but not sure if they are correct. and now i'm at a loss. I had purchased this for an upcoming trip to the states, but don't want to put any money on the account if it's not going to work.

I guess my first question is this "Should a new sim work out of the box?" i.e. should I be able to put in and get service even though I would be roaming in Canada?? Or do I have to be in the states first before it will work and allow me to roam in canada?

Any help you guys can provide or explaination on how it "should" work, would be great.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
Well....does att provide service in canada? I don't know if rogers is part of att or not. If they don't I would assume the sim would not work because of no att towers?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ergott:
Thanks for getting back to me. Rogers is not part of AT&T but they use the same GSM Frequency. So anyone travelling up here on AT&T would use the rogers towers (I believe).

That's why I'm thinking I need to be in the states before the SIM will work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
I would call att back and ask them if the case. Makes sense to me, but I'm nobody.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
actually Rogers is owned by att. it is AT&T rogers wireless~!

but that does not mean that it should work.

APN settings are for data, you should still be able to make calls...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ergott:
LOLOL cute :)

Ya i think I will do that tonight. When I was talking to them last time, the woman didn't really understand why i couldn't connect. but then again i don't think she really understood that I was in canada. LOL
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
Canada has the internet? Lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
yeah i just got my first 28 800 kbit serial port modem eh?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
Bing bong biiiiiiiing.....ahhhh the soothing sounds of dialup....those were the days.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ergott:
I just tried the SIM again, seeing if maybe after a week it might just work now :) but ya no luck. you never know it could happen. LOLOL I'm wondering if I need to get a roaming package added to the Go Phone plan that i'm on before it will work. Gonna call customer support and find out :)

Since this is my first time with anything like this I'm not really sure about anything :) LOL
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ergott:
Okay so I just called at&t customer support. Didn't start off so well. First the guy told me that don't offer any service nor can any AT&T customer roam in canada. then he placed me on hold when I asked him to confirm, and he came back saying that AT&T doesn't off roaming in canada on their pay as you go phones. So i guess I can believe that one :)

Looks like i'll have to put some money on the sim and then hope it works when I go down there, Thanks everyone for all your help and suggestions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liv4air:
Alright so after 2 days of researching and getting ready to root my Samsung Vibrant, I've realized since I'm in Canada it's considered a GT-I9000M.

Carrier: Virgin Mobile Canada (Essentially Bell)

Firmware: 2.2

Baseband: I9000UGL2

Kernel: 2.6.32.9 shout.lee@SEP-09 #3

Build: FROYO.UGJL2

Phone is compatible of going into recovery (3E) and Download mode.

Been reading a lot of issues with one click so I found a noob guide by user s15274n http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849028 that seemed pretty easy. Was going to use odin to bring back firmware to 2.1 stock JFD (t-mobile) and then root with update.

Now since I don't even know if I'm considered a vibrant or not and what would happen if I use T-mobiles stock on my Bell phone I'm back to being mind ****ed on this rooting stuff.

Anyway I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

I am in the same boat

Dude, you just explained my situation. I have a Sasktel Vibrant and have been looking into rooting this darn thing for a while. Unfortunately, it at least appears more complicated for us with our different(?) phones. Our phones are almost the same one, unless you made a spelling error in your baseband version. Mine has a j in it. Here is my info:

Carrier: Sasktel

Firmware: 2.2

Baseband: I9000UGJL2

Kernel: 2.6.32.9 shout.lee@SEP-09 #3

Build: FROYO.UGJL2

I did find this article here that appears promising:

androidforums dot com/galaxy-s-all-things-root/264530-flashing-darky-v9-gt-i9000m-minimal-risk.html

but I haven't convinced myself that it will work, and I sure as **** would hate to brick my phone over something silly. Lemmie know if you find something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terranq:
The easiest way to root is to use odin to flash a kernel that roots your phone. Check the development section. I'd recommend using speedmod's kernel-good kernel, and easy to follow instructions.. I'm running a i9000m as well, on SaskTel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doktorV:
have done a lot of reading over the last week trying to work out how to root my SGS i9000M, checking both these forums as well as android & phandroid, as well as googling the issue and trying the Market. I've also checked out many youtube videos on this topic but they seem out of date now. I note the most recent thread on here by liv4air (march 2011) but it doesn't really help with my query.

I am a total noob with regard to this - only heard about rooting a couple of weeks ago but I definitely like the idea. My 1st handset had to be replaced due to a sound issue (it had 2.2 Froyo) - was replaced with a handset sourced for Canadian market (linked to Bell - has lots of stock apps from them that are useless to me). I'd like to get rid of them to start with, but this handset is running Eclair 2.1 - didn't realise this for awhile after it was replaced and didn't actually understand the differences between the builds and firmware.

So now i've got GT-i9000M, Eclair.UGJH2

kernel 2.6.29darae.ahn@sep20 #2, firmware version 2.1-update1 (updated via Kies).

I have tried the one click root download which put the 'update.zip' file on my SD but when I tried to install this in the recovery mode (have discovered that I

have

the download and recovery mode buttons - also totally new to me!) there was a red error message:

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(status 7)

Installation aborted.

Have seen the Ryan ZA OCLF in Market too, but understand that the 'rooting' ability has been removed from that app.

Have downloaded the Odin3 program to maybe try to root it via this method but am confused about how to get kernels/which ones to get...or even if that's what I have to do! can find various kernels etc at SamFirmware but not really sure how to use them.

Am I even close to working out how to root this phone!?

Please help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscuit26:
did you try to flash a kernel and root your phone from recovery ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doktorV:
no I haven't - the only thing i've tried is the one click root method which brings up a box offering "root or unroot" and this is what put the 'update.zip file on my sd. In recovery mode I scrolled down to the update sd option (below reboot and above the reset to factory etc options - ie. 2nd of 4 options) and that is what led to the error message. Have seen this on other threads so assume it's an old technique that won't work on my handset?

I have Odin v3 and get open the program ok - at least so it looks like the screenshots i've seen posted in forums - but I haven't downloaded any kernels yet. This is the next step i assume. Have found some on Samfirmware.com (including one for my very own build) but no idea which of those i need eg if i download the one for my phone will that just be the same as what i've got now? How would i know if one contained a root? And once i download it do i have to save it to any special location in order to use it / when i open Odin will it automatically pop in as a kernel to flash?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
if you are just looking to root.... on any 2.2 just download superoneclick program, make sure you are in debug mode, plug your phone in, hit start, 20 seconds later you are rooted... lots of videos on youtube fyi
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doktorV:
For now am just looking to root safely. 2nd step would be to play around a bit and look at other kernels/ROMs etc that would suit me, and upgrade firmware to either Froyo or Gingerbread...but all that other stuff is gonna require a lot more reading on my part before 'playing' as i've come across loads of threads describing various errors/problems people are having after flashing this or that.

i've been told to use lots of different methods eg. the superoneclick that you mention, Darky's 9.5, EZBase/EZOdin, using Heimdall etc etc and just as i think i'm onto something good, anothe method is advised. You mention on 2.2 but i'm on 2.1 Eclair - will the superoneclick method still work do you know?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
I do not know if it will work with 2.1... i highly suggested upgrading to 2.2 your local mobile phone provider should do it for you if you take it in, it takes them like 30 mins maybe (just take it in with a full battery) other option is to download Kies which is free online provided by samsung, it should upgrade you to 2.2

I think if you can find z4root.apk in the forums or on google it used to be able to root 2.1

there maybe another version of OCLF with root option around in the forums or google.

I still suggested you upgrade to 2.2
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doktorV:
managed to upgrade form 2.1 to 2.2 via kies at last - didn't work a few weeks ago but worked the other day. so....back to trying to root! downloaded the superoneclick v1.9.1 - my antivirus did freak at it but i see that that's expected.

problem - when i open the rar file or try to extract the contents or run the application inside an error screen comes up saying there was 'unexpected end of archive' and that 'the achive is damaged or corrupt'.

could this be because my antivirus program did something to it? should i try to download the file again with my antivirus turned off?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doktorV:
i'll have a look at that section and at speedmod. just a quick Q though about flashing via Odin - is a kernel composed of the pit file and the 3 other files for pda/csc and modem ie would i expect to get ALL those components and put them in the relevant boxes in Odin? (I have Odin and can open it fine - have not connected my phone yet to check that the yellow box confirms connection).

Still struggling to find the easiest/safest way to root!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
a kernel is only a zImage file. It is TARed to that you can flash it as PDA in odin. No PIT.

Do you have a link for that?

I am in the same boat. I dl'ed oclf from the market and it doesn't root any more.

I tried the update.zip method and when I did "adb reboot recovery" my vol buttons allowed me to select "apply sdcard:update.zip" but when I press the power key it doesn't execute the process.

So I am trying to unlock this phone and I understand I have to root it first?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doktorV:
Tried EZBase too last week. No joy there either. Got the EZOdin, the PDA/CSC/MODEM files but could not get the .pit file - the link just goes to either a blank webpage on 2 different computers, on my macbook it goes to some webpage which only displays about 3 lines of gibberish - some complicated looking code.

I assume I need all the components? I've noticed the speedmod kernel only requires the PDA .tar file (this looked the most promising method recently but not sure if that kernel will actually root, or if i need to be rooted first in order to flash it via Odin).

Oh, the other problem with EZBase I found was that the PDA/CSC/MODEM files downloaded as .tar.md5 files

...shouldn't they just be.tar? Did I do something wrong/can I just rename them .tar? Hence my reasons for abandoning the EZBase method as haven't had any joy answering those questions!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobmutch2:
You wouldn't think a phone should be all that hard to root?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CASz:
It's not hard to root. I have the i9000M on stock UGJL2 (Froyo) Downloaded SuperOneClick v 1.8 by CLShortFuse from this forum as there are no rooting apps any more on Market. Put my phone in USB debug mode started the program then followed directions. Try here for detailed instructions and a video if you want a preview. The directions are very good though and I chose it because I didn't want to use the 3E method.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doktorV:
all sounds easy as pie...you convinced me to try again with the superoneclick method. However.....

1. v1.8 is not available via the thread link - only v1.9.1 and drivers for 1.9.1 or v1.7

2. the little youtube vid showing instructions (which also makes it look supereasy) advises to download the latest version, so i downloaded 1.9 - this time i disabled my antivirus in the hope that it would not interfere with the file which is what i assumed happened last time.

3. yet again when i go to extract the files form the .zip file there's an error saying the file is damaged or corrupt so I can't get the application to be extracted.

back to square one. haven't tried v1.7 yet. maybe i'll give that a go, but i assume it will have bugs that are why it's been updated to versions 1.8 and 1.9??

extracting the 1.9 drivers also does not work - "unexpected end of archive"; funnily enough the application does actually appear extracted but when i try to run it as administrator windows says there was an error and forces the application closed.

so no joy at my end with this method! :mad:

i'll try v1.7 (just to see if it extracts successfully really).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doktorV:
nope - get this warning when i try to download v1.7

didn't get this even with the 1.9 download when it contained a virus so have elected not to try to get v1.7.

and so endeth the superoneclick method as far as i can tell......
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doktorV:
FINALLY!

Success via SuperOneClick after all! Was going nowhere with the links on the xda thread so went to shortfuse.org and downloaded the v1.9 via

that

site (see attached pic for the link to click on).

It downloads a folder with all the required files/drivers etc. The application is within the folder and it opened fine when run as administrator. Followed the guide which is to essentially just tick USB debugging, not to mount the SD card and clicked "root".

It sailed through the process fine and then asked if i wanted it to install busybox as it was not detected. I did, and it did.

Superuser icon in my application as it ought to be. Didn't have to reboot or anything. Only literally just done it so not sure if there are any bugs/ill effects as yet from having rooted it but will report if i come across any.

go for it bob!:D
