[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcornejo:
Hi,

I bought a brand new samsung galaxy s plus GT-I9001 in Poland (locked to Orange network) and I 'm trying to unlock the phone, but I can't because my phone does not contain the nv_data.bin file in the efs folder.

I have rooted the phone using the tutorial posted in

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001#Rooting

I got root access and found that in efs folder I got these files

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

as you can see the efs folder contain cryptprop files which are very small.

The phone works normally, it has its IMEI and connects to GSM network and WiFi network as well. (*#06# returns value 352377055840629)

I'm trying to unlock the phone myself but without nv_data.bin I'm getting nowhere...

Could someone please help me?

PS:

I have changed the stock rom (orange) to XEO rom (I9001XXKPU 2.3.6 and I9001XXKI2 2.3.4) but efs folder is the same each time.
