It has been mentioned many times in this thread that lost1's method only works on Froyo 2.2 but not after that. Besides the HEX method pointed out by qkster and outlined in the sanfranx415 thread (link given below) appears to be far safer IMHO. Since you are already on GB use sanfranx415's method.

Look through this thread for great tips by qkster and others.

Does this still work for Gingerbread 2.3.6, and will it wipe all my current data or do i need to wipe my current data?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] villain_allain:
I successfully rooted my phone using this. Then I unlock my device using the unlock code.

But then I factory reset my phone and the IMEI was corrupted with boxes or something (not numbers)

Can anyone suggest me what should I do? Thank you.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] fham:
Yes you do have to go back to Froyo for this method to work. RageAgainsttheCage exploit was patched in GB.

There are alternative methods. Search for sanfran or traenato's (name??) method. These two are the same methods and work on GB.

I am not up to date on unlocking methods for JB devices but there may be other unlocking methods floating around for JB. I believe Chainfire (SU and SuperSU app developer) has one but it may not be for the Infuse. I do remember others (possibly for the Galaxy Note) but don't have links.

Hope this helps.

If you are still running the rooted UCLB3 stock rom...

You will need to install busybox in order to get the "strings" command. That will get the option that starts with "dd" to work. You can install Stericson's busybox from Google Play - make sure to choose standard install (not smart install).

Make sure you "cd" to the correct directory first - follow the instructions here. That should get you your unlock code.

The "No SIM Card" message could be a different problem. Have you tried a different sim card? Also, what do you see in the Settings status screen for IMEI? No need to post it here - does it match what is printed on the label under the battery?

Unable to connect in debugging mode

I am trying to root my device. As instructed i am enabling debugging mode but it is not indicating in any way that i am in debugging mode. when i run the root.bat file it is showing "device not recognized" message.

The main reason i am trying to root my device and upgrade is somehow my device started to reboot and not start on its own, it is just rebooting again and again, it is not even completely restarting.

Help me if there is other way to set that problem and also with rooting, cause i want to upgrade my OS anyways.

thanks and regards
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jkakkanad:
It sounds like you have a sticky power button. A quick test is to take your battery out, wait 15 seconds, and then put it back in. If the phone powers on by itself, it's the power button. There are a couple of threads in the forum about how to fix that particular issue. Once you have that squared away, it should be smooth sailing. As for getting root, use the UCLB3 Unbrick with root from jscott30. Link in my sig.

TWO good, helpful, questions needing answers !!

I've followed this guide perfectly http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1176886, Rooted my phone, read all 10 pages of replies and one question seems to go unanswered

Do I need a SIM card from the cell provider the phone is locked to IN the phone while following the

unlock

process ?

I bought the phone used from the USA with no SIM card in it, I'm planing on using it in Canada where I live . I KNOW once I've generated an unlock code I can put in my new SIM card from my cell provider in Canada.

In the above guide (within the link) after Rooting one of the steps says ON YOUR PHONE go to the market and install terminal emulator (and provides the link) BUT I cannot use the phone I'm trying to unlock until I unlock it (its an ATT phone and I live in Canada and it needs an unlock code obviously), Is there a work around to get the emulator on my phone without having access to the internet or Wifi ?

Obviously I'm a N00b, so please be kind and talk to me like I'm an idiot when you explain what to do I will not be offended at all, but will appreciate the answers and your time. Thanks in advance !
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fham:
1. Yes you do need a SIM card other than AT&T's to check whether the unlock process went through correctly.

2. After you root the phone you have to wipe data, cache and Dalvik cache in recovery. This will reset the phone. [I am assuming you already did this after rooting the phone]. Once that is done, boot you Infuse, then enter your own credentials to access Google Play store. All of this has been explained in the thread you found your unlock instructions from. It is always good practice to wipe data, cache and Dalvik cache in recovery. Search for qkster's thread in the Infuse section to see instructions on how to do that. Another excellent thread is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1293751

3. If you do not have access to wi-fi then you will have to get the Terminal emulator APK from somewhere and copy it to your internal SD card (the phone's internal memory), then check to allow app installation from unknown sources in settings. There should be a few threads on XDA which have this app attached within.

4. Lastly, do not call yourself an idiot. That is my title and I do not like others stepping on my toes. :D:D:D

Hope this helps.

In the mean time I flashed an Android 4.4 ROM on the device. I can't find bml3 anymore in /dev/block. There is bml12 there.

Can I still unlock the device (with unlock.sh) if I flash back a stock ROM (ATT GB 2.3.6)? Also, can I still find the unlock code in bml3 file after I flash the stock rom? In other words, how does the unlock code get in the bmk3 file? Isn't the actual lock in a chip inside the phone?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
Yes, yes, you'll see, and yes. ;)

bml3 is actually a partition stored on the internal memory of the phone. Very specific to that device, unique to you. The process I linked earlier makes a copy of that partition, dumps the data into a file (for analysis).

No surprise the custom ROM cannot find that partition, as stuff like that is usually the case. Like how you (often) cannot sim-unlock while on a custom ROM - it just doesn't do anything.

Going back to stock wold be a great idea, if only to get the SIM unlocking taken care of. ;)

I just found nv_data.bin backup and found the unlock code inside it...in plain text. That was easy...

Is the unlock code saved in nv_data.bin file on all Android phones (all vendors)? What about Windows phones? Do they have a nv_data.bun file? I have locked Windows Phone 7 (Samsung SGH i937) and am trying to unlock it. Did anyone ever install an Android rom on a Windows Phone (removing WP7)? Why wouldn't be possible?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
Sounds easy enough. I thought nv_data.bin only stored your IMEI, ESN and other identifying info...

Not all Android phones have that file. AFAIK, only the Samsung ones. So Windows phones probably won't have them either (unless well, if it is still a Samsung device). Be interesting if that was the case there too.

Not sure about Android on WP7. I think it has been done before, but the biggest hurdle is (probably) the need for vendor blobs that talk Android, which WP7 devices won't have.

Trying it from a new terminal on Mac worked

I'm using a Mac so it might be different but I had the same mount error.

I ran Darwin/adb kill-server

so you might try Windows\adb kill-server

I disconnected the phone, plugged it back in.

Also I haven't connected as USB storage.

Opened a new terminal window, typed the following:

>Darwin/adb devices

This should list your device (assuming you have USB debugging enabled)

if not your drivers probably aren't installed correctly.

now you can try root.sh (root.bat)

Again - I used a Mac so your case might be different.
