yeah i know ... literom... i have done some slight editing to those files to get rid of some at&t bookmarks and stuff .... i have managed to get a nice working unlock for myself using the info here ... but if i were to used my nvdata files on a different phone while they wouldnt get my IMEI they maybe get a generic ...? for all i know it would work perfectly ..
[Samsung Captivate Glide] galaxy glide:
Thanks a lot !!

THANK U VERY MUCH DARKSHADO !!:good:

I FIXED MY PHONE BY THIS METHOD...:D

N it can also be done without connecting your phone with computer. If someone wants to know..just these are required-

- Root explorer ( ES explorer )

- Busybox

- Android Terminal emulator

- Hexeditor

Because i'm in a country where Rogers is not functional and my phone is locked to all other available networks here.

I downloaded galaxsim and transferred it to my phone but it still requires packet data to unlock the phone.

Also its free ;)

could you tell me which rom do you use to reflash your cellphone, also buy on amazon but it get locked with ics.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] maddbomber83:
When I got mine on Amazon unlocked already I followed the forum guides to back up everything.so I have the 3.6 it came with and the stock 4.0 it got updated to.using lite ROM now and out is still unlocked.

My unlocking adventure

|

|

|

Sorry for dagging out that old thread but it is the only really working and (near) complete guide for network unlock the captivate.

Here my 5 ct regarding unlocking:

I use sediROM v1.0 (based on ICS 4.0.4 /UCLJ3 Stock) and had trouble regarding network unlocking my Glide. sediROM already includes the modified ril file provided here.

I tried to unlock my phone by AT&T customer service first because it is the cleanest way. Well I live in Germany so calling to the US is not such cheap.

To do so I used a very unbelievable site http://www.callcheap.de/ where you can call for free from Germany to the US (if you have a national flatrate).

But to come back I called them and they told me: no chance you can unlock by the online webservice ONLY! --> https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/

Well that service simply does not work for me (no answer since 20 days and the phone support cannot help!)

Ok so I tried one of the unlock services out there and paid about 15$ for it. Unfortunately the received code does not work! No refund either.. bad luck..

So the last resort was to unlock the network by a hack by myself (or try another great unlock service where my money gets lost..) and I came back here (again).

I tried the excellent guide here before I was thinking about a paid unlocking service but unfortunately the guide does not (fully) worked for me.

When using the modified ril it results in the following 2 lines on every reboot:

Fri Jul 25 11:40:16 2014: checksum fail.
Fri Jul 25 11:40:16 2014: NV restored

And the nv_data.bin was really restored back.

When using the original ril it gaves me the estimated cracking detection:

Thu Jul 24 17:52:04 2014: cracking detected
Thu Jul 24 17:52:04 2014: NV backup has been rebuilt
Thu Jul 24 17:52:04 2014: NV restored

which was estimated, of course. So what next? I tried to do a dirty hack and make my modified nv_data.bin file immutable and heja the first success:

The nv.log still showing checksum fail and restore message but because the file was immutable it was still mine modified one. And I had access to the mobile

network! Oh no wait .. no access! Oh no wait ... access again (and so on).

Well there seems to be another detection which simply cut the phone connection when the nv_data.bin is not modifyable. Ok so what next?

I backupped (again) my whole /efs folder and then doing another backup/move:

cd /efs
mkdir backup
mv .nv_core.bak* .nv_data.bak* nv_data.bin.md5 backup/

Well rebooted and the log told me:

Fri Jul 25 14:37:15 2014: fail - no checksum info

nothing more nothing less. A MD5 file was created btw. So I rebooted again and the log shows ...... NOTHING

and the phone has network access... still .. well hmm... I could try to phone out.. *dialing*... it... WORKS! :D

Rebooted 3 times and always the same.. still working.. :highfive: :fingers-crossed: :victory: :victory:

So in my case the delete/move of the above mentioned files did the trick for me.

I thought I should share that here.. Maybe it helps someone out.

.. and yes the IMEI also still valid and in place ;)

Regards

This doesn't work anymore

On the new 4.4.4 the log restores even with patched cracking dected method. Here is the log:

If you get this it means that you forgot to do chattr +i on nv_data.bin so it cannot be changed. That solved it for me. However now I am getting a timeout when i try to register on the network. Trying to use it on wind.

Can someone confirm what the full string 30272030237030272#30237#00101#99999#99999000101000 1012 needs to be changed to? I did try to put 0xFF for everything except the # which is 0x23.

Thank you...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dxli:
I changed every byte into 0xFF, including #/0x23, and this way works for my SGH-I927R

by "chattr +i /efs/nv_data.bin", I can not register on any network, and I found I should do "chatter +i /efs/.nv_data.bak" and leave nv_data.bin mutable. Basically, I keep my unlocked version of /efs/nv_data.bin by "cp /efs/nv_data.bin /efs/.nv_data.bak; chattr +i /efs/.nv_data.bak"

FAQ:

How do I flash this?

Flash it in your recovery (ClockworkMod/TWRP)

Does this come with the new bootloader?

No, there's nothing really different to the new bootloader besides the version number.

What's the MD5 sum?

52cb0605b23492e78d6e2c2de3969768

How do I check the md5sum?

From your computer (linux): md5sum filename.zip

From your phone (terminal emulator): busybox md5sum filename.zip

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
Nice! Pre-flash I was with one bar of 4G service. I flashed this (no other changes, sitting in the exact same spot) and now I have 3/4 bars of 4G. I live in an "extended coverage" area which according to Verizon means I don't get 4G all the time. When I do the signal strength can get kinda low (pretty much 3g speeds at times). So far I have the fastest 4g signal I have ever had at my house! Also sometimes my signal bar would grey out then 3g would pop up and then it would automatically reconnect to 4g. Haven't had that happen yet, but it has only been maybe 20 minutes since I flashed. Honestly I feel like it would've happened once or twice already, but it hasn't yet. It's really good to know VZW is finally testing our JB update. Hopefully we see an official release soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jellybellys:
These come from the verizon stock jellybean update package. It isn't over the air yet, but you can flash this in stock recover over IMM76K to get verizon's update.

Glad it worked for you guys, completely opposite effect for me. Had 2 bars of 4G here in my office, flashed this one, now I have 1 bar of 3G with no 4G whatsoever. (and yes, LTE is still turned on)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jellybellys:
It all depends on where you live what effect these radios have. For me they greatly improved my signal, but newer isn't always better and you just have to experiment what works best for you.

Same here strangely. I had previously posted about my phone not dropping signal, but after a few days now No Signal Alert shows the issue is back, even though I have lte disabled. I've not been using the phone at the times it's saying signal dropped so perhaps it's some sort of false positive. Still very happy with these radios!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jellybellys:
No reason really to have the new bootloader. It's basically the same as all the others but with a different version number.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hanfeitzu02:
I don't know about all these arguments about what radios do and don't do, but I can say without a doubt its been better for me. I now have 4g on my back porch whereas before I would drop into weak 3g. Handoffs between WiFi and data also seem to be much quicker.

Did update not take for me?

I installed this update and everything seems to be going stupid on me. First off WiFi says it's connected and I can open the browser and it surfs just fine but when I try to use market, every thing hangs and browser wont connect unless I force quit market. Second, 4G won't stay connected at a lot of places I go and just goes to a weak sauce 3g connection with one bar. Skype refuses to connect over wifi as well. I'm hoping I can just roll back to the previous radio or something because this is all very disruptive to my daily swing. I don't even know If wifi is a part of the radio. I've never flashed a radio just roms and stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evilssj4:
i flashed these radios and now on my signal indicator I have a R (for roaming I'm assuming) and doesnt change to 3G or 4G and instead of VWZ in the carrier name it says T-CDMA 65. what happened? how can i fix this? I also noticed that it only happens when i am In range of my Verizon network extender but when I'm out of it it shows 3g and 4g correctly and also the carrier name is back to VZW

I know I'm on the edge of the line when it comes to 4g reception as it is, but i was DEFINITELY getting better with the last set. I'm consistently on 3g now on my porch where I've.ALWAYS been able to hold a low to mid 4g. I dunno, maybe I'm going crazy, but I'm def experimenting tonight cuz I've been going completely insane trying to two myself it's not cuz i changed radios lol

This doesn't come with the new bootloader. There's really no reason to have the new bootloader, it's basically the same as all the others but with a different version number.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
It fixes the long boot that many jellybean ROMs have on occasion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
The majority view seems to be that those with little to no signal or frequent drops are experiencing better signal, but many in that group are experiencing more battery drain. Those who always had a good signal are staying the same, for the most part. There are some deviations though. I fall in the first group, and hardware revision doesn't matter so I won't bother posting mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jellybellys:
That's just a myth. You get the long boot just as frequently as you do on the new bootloader as the old one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
You're not kidding. -_-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marisa:
I live in the middle of nowhere, generally get midrange voice, 3G, and occasional 4G. It's largely a crapshoot if I get 4G at all but when I do, the signal is pretty good (don't ask how I haven't the slightest idea)

That all said, the radios don't seem to have done much for my signal or speeds but they do seem to have much better WiFi/3G/4G handoff. It's not perfect, but it definitely feels improved. The tradeoff for this is that it seems to be holding onto weak signals longer, which likely where people are losing battery.

Have you checked your Settings / About dialog to verify which radio versions you have installed? I jumped on the "new radios" band wagon right away and had trouble, until I checked this and found that the radios I flashed were NOT the proper FF02 / FG02 set. Seems that one of the zips floating around, purporting to have the new radios, that also had a new boot loader, was not correct.

I wound up trying one of the 411 radios zips, got the right versions, and it's been great since then. Double check....see what version you have installed.

Different people have different experiences with different radios. Many factors can affect how the radio will preform on you phone, such as where you live. Experiment with different radios and find the one that works best for you.

Same here.

Before - Strong 4g signal outside my house, zero 4G inside (2 bar 3g inside).

After the radio flash - Now I get a good 2bars of 4g inside my house. The switch between 3g/4g is also much better.

Battery Life

my previous radio by this time would be @ %85 with use.

Am I the only one who is really uncertain about flashing radios since the 4.0.3 leak? Having to reset to stock and start over again isn't fun.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buddyfriendo:
Exact opposite for me, battery life has been phenomenal since flashing these radios!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
I flashed at 5:45 this morning, unplugged a few mins after 6am (Eastern) and currently (10:06am) have 86% battery left. This is with latest CNA nightly, the default Faux kernel (no time yet to decide which kernel I want to play with next), CPU at 350/1350 interactive. I haven't used the phone much in this 4 hour window, so I actually expected less drain -- I suspect the kernel isn't as good at preserving battery when the phone is idle as leanKernel with something like InteractiveX or HotPlugX.

Which kernel are you using? What kind of settings? (if you'd be so kind as to share... )

There's probably 100 other things that could be affecting your battery life THAT much. Pretty sure just flashing radios isn't going to do that to your battery life. With that kind of change I'd say an app went "rouge" on ya.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eallan:
These have been downright awful for me as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
Are you guys just using "speed test" apps? It's not good to use those. Too many variables to just press Test and see if the radios are better or worse.

I for example am getting slightly better signal speeds. Nothing spectacular, but still something. Also no data drops, but I never got those anyway. Switching between mobile data/WiFi does seem to be faster as well. My area has been having some terrible weather lately, so I can't connect to 4G at all unless I'm on top of my roof (literally). Before I flashed these radios - if I wanted 4G, I had to drive 5 minutes down the road on a clear sunny day to pick it up.

Idk lol I got fed up with ALL of those speed test apps when I would run a test and get my results back - then run the test again and get something completely different. Even making sure I was still connected to the same tower I would get results back that were so incredibly different it made me sick.

I dunno, though. These radios weren't really a "game changer" for me. I do get somewhat better reception as far as picking up a 4G signal goes, but that's about it. No significant change to my battery life, either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amessina:
Completely agree. Speed tests can be skewed and you really don't know what's really going on.

This probably seems like the norm to some, but as I was taking the train home yesterday, I was using the phone on a 3g signal, no data, and the phone negotiated its way up to 4g and I was then able to get email immediately while still on the phone. It never did that with the old radios, at least in that spot. I have also noticed that the new radios take a little longer to lock signal when the signal is very poor (subway tunnel). Most of the time, I go to airline mode and force it to renegotiate and it then works fine.
