get "unlock code not found"

Is this supposed to work on any firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] AdamLange:
yes, this is firmware independent.

Anyway guys, if you need me to support more devices i need you to donate a couple of $$ but better the device you want me to support. I dont have all devices and all variants here. I will update this application when i got my hands on new device or any other device variant.

[Galaxy S II General] nuraniharun:
Thanks man.
[Galaxy S II General] Ramazor:
Sorry for a noob question, but where do I find my HW version?
[Galaxy S II General] dulfu:
Worked!

Worked like a charm.

after i deleted nv_data.bin.md5 file and rebooted.

of course the application didn't provide the unlock code but patched the file.

Thank you !

My SGS2 dont Support NFC! Help

Hey guys my Rooted SGSII GT-i9100 dont support NFC....did i removed it by an Accident? or i brick it? and how can i make it support NFC again?
[Galaxy S II General] AdamLange:
Are you sure you have SGS2 with NFC ? its a rare thing. And also not topic related :)
[Galaxy S II General] AndIKnow:
I've unlocked my phone using the tool since I was going to sell it. It's awesomely easy. Thanks to the dev.

However I want to reset to factory default now to remove all my data. Does a factory reset return the phone to sim locked or is it still unlocked after reset?
[Galaxy S II General] AdamLange:
No it will not :) you may reset it :)
[Galaxy S II General] AndIKnow:
Thanks a million. Your a lifesaver!

HW Ver 1.5

Re: my sgs2 i9100

Sorry i just checked my hardware version is 1.5

can you still find my unlock code via my nv_data.bin file?

i have the file but how do i send the file to you?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] sgavriel:
Can't find the nv_data.bin

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 T-Mobile US with Cyanogen ROM 9 (ICS)

I can't find the nv_data.bin file, not in /efs and not at any other place.

Can you help with that?
[Galaxy S II General] AdamLange:
Can someone send me a SGS3 efs backup? i would like to add SGS3 unlocking to my app and i dont have device :)
[Galaxy S II General] fig_jam_uk:
Worked like a charm for me, had no code but patched file and now unlocked :)

Which GPUs are supported? There isn't that much information, but my old Nvidia 8600GT should be able to cope with CUDA instructions (it supports DirectX10 with no problem and I used it before to crack passwords with no issues). I get a "no supported video card found" :(
[Galaxy S II General] mark.m.moran:
Hello guys,

Is root required for this method?

Cheers,

[Galaxy S II General] AdamLange:
Yes
[Galaxy S II General] rashidkhan:
Hi Adam, does your tool now works for HW Ver 1.5 with new security? Or is it the same?
[Galaxy S II General] AdamLange:
1.4 got the new security, and yes, it should work :)
[Galaxy S II General] mark.m.moran:
Easy way to root the S2? Like a toolkit?

Cheers,

Mark
[Galaxy S II General] AdamLange:
Yes.
[Galaxy S II General] mark.m.moran:
Any hints or tips or links mate rather than an un-useful and un-helpful 'Yes' all the time!??

Thanks,

[Galaxy S II General] AdamLange:

[Galaxy S II General] rashidkhan:
Hi Adam, i have tried it but it does not work for HW ver 1.5 just sits there and no error message or any code nothing.
[Galaxy S II General] AdamLange:
Then you should wait a bit :) or send me your nv_data.bin to unlocker@adamlange.pl

I will take a look :)
[Galaxy S II General] AdamLange:
Tool updated to v1.4
[Galaxy S II General] haqau:
Just for the info.

worked with Samsung S2 i9100p (no code but patched worked)

The "P" version is from Orange UK and has "NFC"

Thanks a lot dear Adam Lange
[Galaxy S II General] AdamLange:
Thanks! i will update tool to also get this version :)
[Galaxy S II General] ruicc:
Hi Adam,

I tried to unlock my SGS II with your program, but i was unable to do it.

First, dunno why, when i run the unlocker he says: no supported video card found.... i guess i need a special video card to do this. I've tested on 2 PC's, both the same message.

But at the end, he says i can patch nv_bin file directly, and i do all the steps. Patched the file, copy it to efs partition, delete the md5 file.

Then reboot my phone, but when i enter *#7465625# to check the network lock, the status is the same - ON....

I didn't tried with another network sim card.

So, i guess this isn't working...

Any thoughts on this?
[Galaxy S II General] AdamLange:
There are several locks in SGS series, just get different simcard and try
[Galaxy S II General] rashidkhan:
Hi Adam, did you get my message and nv_data.bin file? any luck mate?
[Galaxy S II General] AdamLange:
Your version can only be patched. Download unlocker ver 1.4 (latest from first post) and run it on your nv_data.bin choosing SGS2, it will allow u to patch the file.
[Galaxy S II General] rashidkhan:
Oh bugger!! so this v1.4 can still not break the new security in hw ver 1.5 ?
[Galaxy S II General] AdamLange:
No. 1.4 is also unbreakable. The only way is to patch file.
[Galaxy S II General] dexdax:
hello mate , thanks for zour SW , but I was wondering if you could do the same for a Samsung s5511t, or do you have some idea , has been a pain in the a** trying to find some unlock code for network lock , cheers
[Galaxy S II General] teo2411:
why is my efs folder empty? i can't find nv_data.bin.
[Galaxy S II General] AdamLange:
What is your phone model?
[Galaxy S II General] teo2411:
I9100.

****, i just realized i need to browse for the file with root explorer :D
[Galaxy S II General] Blue_Hornet:
what do i need to open the nv_data.bin file?

if i sent you the file could you get the code for me please?

Does this tool recover my imei, baseband and signal lost? Its been 2months since i use my s2 like a 4' tablet :(
[Galaxy S II General] fnair:
Type *#2222# on the phone keypad.
[Galaxy S II General] dsrosario:
Just for the record, seems that the correct code is *#*#2222#*#* (found this after searching your tip from the internet). And I can confirm it only works with samsung roms (at least it doesn't work with RR 2.6).
[Galaxy S II General] fnair:
Both work on my stock 4.0.3 ics. *#2222# is shorter ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] dsrosario:
Ok.. :)

I though *#2222# was wrong because the phone has actually try to dial it. *#*#2222#*#* it "freezes" for a split second and then... nothing happens. :P
[Galaxy S II General] drazenf:
working great, i just replaced patched bin file on my GS2 HW 1.5.

AdamLange i have Samsung glaxy S2 t mobile 989. There is no nv_data.bin in Efs folder. chainfire and Herulz methods did not work eventhough I am rooted and followed all the steps needed. I just checked using *#*#2222#*#* and what i found is FTA HW version : REV0.1. Any help please? I did not try your method as the link is not working.
[Galaxy S II General] Blue_Hornet:
how do i locate the nv_data file?
[Galaxy S II General] dsrosario:
You need root and an explorer that can access root folders (try solid explorer, you can find it at the market) to access /efs.
[Galaxy S II General] koriotto:
Ok i know I might be very lost... but is SGS2 Skyrocket being a "variant" of the SGS II supported? I havent been able to locate the glorious nv_data file
[Galaxy S II General] rolandjore:
where could i find nv data bin?
[Galaxy S II General] Blue_Hornet:
i think i found it from the backup sgs2Unlocker app made, but when i try your code generator it says something about GUI not recognised, on a plus side orange will unlock my phone for me, once the current SIM has been paired to the phones IMEI for at least 3months and i pay £20.42 (what's with the 42 pence lol) this isn't very helpful to me though cus i need my phone unlocked ASAP, what can i do it seems everything i try fails....

[Galaxy S II General] FireDK:
Hi there.

Was wondering whether this app or it's CPU-only version are still in development because my SGSII HW1.5 could really use an unlock code. :P

Also, does anybody have/know a list of supported GPUs for the current version. I've tried both a GeForce 560 and a 560M and both are unrecognised.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] SGS_elko:
Does it work on Galaxy Nexus? I've read in the Nexus Forum there are two nv_data.bin files in two different places in Galaxy Nexus!
[Galaxy S II General] fnair:
The nexus should already be unlocked, no?
[Galaxy S II General] SGS_elko:
Yes it is, but not permanent! If you flash a ROM the phone Re-locks. It is possible to unlock permanently but you have to change the IMEI, so not really a solution!
[Galaxy S II General] Poroto:
it didnt worked for me :S, it said that my video card wasnt found or something similar, do i really need a video card for this ? :confused:

any solution ? i dont want to use direct file patching.

Hi all,

Wondering if there will be support for the SGS II X SGH-T989D from telus/koodoo/tmob?? i can't find a nv_data.bin anywhere in the file system. a little help would be appreciated. thx!
[Galaxy S II General] Stileth:
Upload your nv_data.bin file here, someone might be able to do it for you.
[Galaxy S II General] Poroto:
Thanks for your big help here and on my thread m8, appreciate it :)... Sure, i'll upload it now. i uploaded my entire backup of the efs folder, just in case someone needs anything else.

Im running on FTA HW version: REV1.2 (according to what i heard, this method works on this HW version, but i cant get it to work)

if anyone kindly wants to help me out, i'd be thanked, and could even donate if it works smooth.

Thanks !

Hello guys.

My Phone (AT&T Captivate S) is Unlocked but it's using WCDMA only !

When I select GSM, No signal at all unless I tried all bands !!

This happened after I upgraded to i9000 .

Any idea to solve this problem ??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Try other modems...

What carrier are you using?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almustaness:
AT&T . I heard you can get modem from them or a file, then it will work.

Could you please help ? because I couldn't contact AT&T ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
ATT won't help you since you modifed your phone. Here is a good list for I900 modems, I897 modems and CM7. There are 2 ways on flashing modems, either use CWM or ODIN. CWM just use the zip file that they come with and flash them. With ODIN decompres the zip file and use the modem.bin in the phone section.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almustaness:
Thank you so much. I'll do what you said .

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] kodemage:
I've been searching and searching and searching for some app that will give better access to the various settings on the kindle. Things like change the clock to 24h or change the default program for various actions.

I've also been searching for some way to change the settings in Go Launcher EX. It's spacing the icons out in a strange way and only lets me put icons in a 4x4 grid with tons and tons of wasted space. I also can't find ANY documentation on the Go Launcher site. I'd like to customize the buttons at the bottom, I don't need a "dial phone" or "open contacts" button on a tablet.

I've not yet found another launcher that runs on the kindle either or I'd be looking for that launcher's customization options. (tried Launcher pro, crashes on start)

Anyone got something working they can share?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] blauciel:
Get ADW Launcher EX. VERY customizable, including the launch buttons at the bottom.

//Tapatalk.KindleFire//
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] sl0ttedpig:
I would 2nd ADW Launcher over Go Launcher. It seems to be a lot more customizable. I didn't like the icon spacing either, and using ADW on my Droid, I figured I'd give it a go. Together with Beautiful Widgets, I get something that looks pretty decent IMHO. I even like the Amazon wallpaper! :)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Felnarion:
Go Launcher Ex allows to change spacing on the home screens. Of course, I don't have my kindle right here with me, but it's something like Menu>Preferences>Display>Rows/Columns. It allows to change the rows and columns individually.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] kodemage:
I'v found this, it only lets me go up to 5 either way, 4 or 5 only, not any useful number.

I'll look into adw launcher. Thanks for that though guys.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Mama Luigi:
Yes it does, you can set a bunch of rows and columns on the homescreen. I have 7 rows and 6 columns. The only aspect where you are limited to 5x5 is the app drawer.

EDIT:

Menu > Preferences > Screen Settings > Grid Size > Custom Grids
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] kodemage:
So, I can't get adw.launcher to run, it just crashes on start up. I had to sideload the app since it wouldn't appear in the market. The market says adw.launcher is not compatible with the kindle fire. How did you guys get it to work?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ghost_og:
You most likely have to copy it to /system/app and set permissions. I was having the same problem and didn't want to re-root, so I went with Go Launcher instead.

You are able to customize both the desktop and app drawer grid size, btw. Each can have rows x columns set to 10. I have ADW on my Atrix, but honestly Go Launcher is working out just fine for my KF.

*Edit*FYI, I downloaded the latest Go Launcher .apk straight from their site. Maybe that's why some people have limited options under preferences?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] JvictorSS:
It's kind of funny, I bought ADW because Go launcher wasn't showing up on the market, and now it's the opposite.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] david.dannicker:
Different settings on current version

New menu:

Menu > Preferences > Application settings> Homescreen > Grid Size > Custom Grids

I had the black splotches on my Razr screen as well. I took it in and Verizon replaced it. Got it home and tested it and there is no more black splotches. I did notice a little bit of the "some areas are darker than others" but for the most part it is not noticeable at all.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] spooner427:
I did get the phone replaced and was able to find one with alot cleaner of a screen and I only looked threw 3 phones they brought out. I had a diagonal line threw the screen. Either way the phone itself is great just glad Verizon actually cares about customer.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
"The RAZR display uses a new high efficiency OLED material. These screens may in some cases exhibit slightly darker regions, like you've noticed. Because the darker regions are only visible when viewing the black screen in a very dark environment, they will not interfere with general use. Most importantly, they don't change over time and are typical for this generation of OLED material. They in no way indicate a problem or defective screen."
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spooner427:
I have seen Motorolas response but I work nights and the "general use" of my cell is in a low light environment, so this was an issue for me.

Try switching it for a new phone. If you encounter enough models with a substantial amount of artifacts, Verizon will offer you an exchange for another phone model.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] seven_love_xda:
Thanks for your answer.

There are some friends very care the dark spots in my city, and i think your answer can tell the truth.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spooner427:
I did swap it out at Verizon. They brought out a bunch of Razrs and I hid under a coat and started them up and checked the boot screen for marks. By the 3rd phone I found one with a pretty clean screen, only had a few small spots at the bottom barely noticeable.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] milkshed27:
LOL! I stole your idea from another forum where you posted the pic your girl took of you under a jacket.

So I went into Verizon and after a bit of persistence I got the rep to let me swap out my phone. He even let me go to the back area and turned off the lights for me. I still used a jacket since the ambient lighting from the store was still interfering with visibility.

I tried the first phone he brought out and it looked pretty bad, so I asked if he could bring out another. The second phone he brought out barely had any marks on it!

Needless to say I swapped out the phones and was very happy. I will be visiting the same store soon to purchase an accessory bundle from the same rep.

BTW thanks Spooner for your previous info about the reps letting you boot up and check the phones.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RickROM:
Don't believe Motorola's explanation... so disappointed due to this issue. Can't find anymore info than what has already been said.

Just probably going to return the phone and get out while I'm ahead.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] madmikeuk:
Don't let any fanboys derail this thread as a RAZR-exclusive defect - this is a known issue with the manufacturing process in AMOLED screens causing an uneven distribution of current among the OLED subpixels. Many other devices with AMOLED screens have this issue, including (but not limited to) the Nokia N9, all Galaxy SII variants and the Galaxy Nexus. This issue is one of the reasons there are currently no global mass-market OLED TVs.

As to those who are complaining about the PenTile RGBG "graininess", it's true; but it's probably still the best subpixel layout for AMOLED - RGBW has a low pixel density, and the classic RGB subpixel layout, such as in the SAMOLED+ displays is truly horrific - the eye's sensitivity to green light makes these screens noticeably green-tinted.

Of course, if you're not happy with these issue, LG, HTC, Sony Ericsson and Apple still manufacture high-end smartphones with LCD screens. Choice is a wonderful thing.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] robstunner:
I must say, and I hope I don't sound like a troll, but my galaxy nexus has no blotches like the razr I had before it. To be honest, none of my Samsung amoled displays ever had the blotches. The fiance has a razr and I didn't really see any blotches on hers either. Will check again tonight.
