problems with the call forwarding notification after unlocking

I bought my Galaxy S today from Bell and I have successfully unlocked it and using it on Fido. However, I constantly have the call forwarding notification shown in the notifications tab. Is there any way to clear this? I can't change the forwarding settings!!

it worked

I've got an Orange Romania locked GT-I9000 and unlocked with Generate Unlock Windows.

It's mandatory to use USB debug function in order to work.

I'll not use it on other network than Orange Romania but I like to have a free terminal :).

Thanks for this very usefull tip.

worked on bell i9000m

Got it to work on a bell galaxy s. For those having problems could it be that you are putting the NCK when its asking for sim card pin? If it simply asks for "PIN" I think it means the sim cards pin number which is usually a 4-digit number not the phones unlock code. You have to put the NCK when its asking for "Sim network unlock PIN"

Hope that helps some of you.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] glitterballs:
This worked on my Vibrant, but now I'm having a hard time re-locking my phone. Nothing happens when I enter the USSD code, no popups. When hit call with the USSD code typed in, it goes from "Running USSD code" to "Unable to process request". I have adb and I would check network locks, but I couldn't find anything on how to check network locks in the adb tutorial, and my searches so far haven't got me anywhere. How do you check network locks with adb?

Easiest method: download APP from market

I struggled all night with Captivate - it did not allow me to install the unlock app. I then tried to root it but Kies would not recognise it (Vista woes!)

I then figured out that there must be the same app on Market.

So, folks, no hassle.

Download "Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool" from Market

and run it. First I couldnt find the app because the name in the first post here was slightly different. Done in 1 min. No rooting necessary. No need for QR scans or other downlowads

Note: there are TWO unlock programs, one for Froyo (2.2) and the other for 2.1. Make sure you get the right one.

After I copied the codes, just inserted a new SIM in the Captivate and it asked me for the code.

Final word: DONATE - these guys deserve every penny for their hard work.

Samsung Captivate question

Those with Samsung Captivate unlocked. Does 3G still works for AT&T after unlocked?

some article state that it only worked with edge after unlocked. I have a feeling the author have no clue what he is talking about... but just to be sure, can some one confirm that 3G is ok with AT&T? I'm sure it will not work with T-Mobile due to 1700 not part of the phone supported band.

Thanks in advance...

eltee
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nbs11:
Yes it will still work. What they were talking about is the Captivate on T-Mobile or the Vibrant on AT&T. The Captivate will always work on AT&T
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wheelerjuk:
Just thought I would let you know the unlock worked like a charm but today i tried to relock it for warranty reasons but it gives an error.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexsleat:
Hey, thanks muchly for the great unlock, so easy!

I am having some trouble though as I'm getting no data connection (I unlocked from o2 and using an Orange SIM (UK)), I can get edge on my iPhone 2G but nothing on the SGS. I was just wondering if anyone else has had trouble and how they fixed this or if it's a problem with my SIM or Orange rather than the phone. Sorry if this has already been mentioned, I did try reading through and Google but couldn't see anything..

Everything else seems to be working awesomely so thanks again :D

******EDIT

So it looks like it's working on my o2 SIM which means my phone is fine and I would have thought most probably my Orange SIM.. When I fix this problem I'll make sure to post or edit this with how I did it.

******EDIT_2

I restarted it without a SIM then back to Orange and everything seems fine, hope that helps if anyone else comes along this problem.

Looks like it's

I have the same problem with a portuguese TMN locked phone bought yesterday.

I have tried several methods and i cant get the codes. I intalled JM6 and tried again, and i have the same result, no codes

Anyone found any solution?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
hmm, looks to me like samy changed something to hide the codes from the software for newer phones. could be it was not the best idea to push this to market...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] johnashudson:
The same happens to me. Permission denied. As my phone is rooted, I did the following:

adb shell
su
cat /efs/nv_data.bin >> /sdcard/nv_data.bin
exit
exit

Then I activated the mass storage mode, plugged my phone to the pc and I moved the /sdcard/nv_data.bin file to the directory where I have the generate_code.bat files.

Then I executed:

sgux nv_data.bin

However, the output was:

Unlock Unsuccessful

Hi Guys! Greetings from Argentina. Let me thank you in advance for your magnificent work.

Saddly, it did not work for me... Let me tell you what happens: Currently, I´m on a project in the states, so I bought a Samsung Vibrant from T mobile with a 3G plan and everything works just fine there, I´m blown away by the phoe. THing is, each 4 weeks I spend one in Argentina (whrere I am right now) and I tried to unlock the phone to put mi Argentinian card on it. I downloaded the app, got mi codes ok, put my sim card on the vibrant, turned on the phone, and when I get to the scree, put the number obtained on the app. But It says Network unlock unsuccessful.

Do you know if I am missing something here? Is it related to not being on the states?? Is there anything else I can take a look at?

Thanks in advance and best regards, I am waiting for this to work on my phone to make a donation. You rock.

Greetings,

Diego
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
I had to flash mine back to an old rom to get the unlock to work...

For those of you that don't get a code.... make sure you have root and try the froyo app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] smflesh:
Does this method work with models bought in the UK?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ElDie:
Thanks for you answer, Orange... Sorry if I don´t get you right away, but I didn´t do anything on the phone prior to try this, the phone is just new... But anyway, how can I "flash to an old rom"? Sorry for the newbie question, but this is my first time on this great android world. I love it so far, but I'm on baby steps here...

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Diego

Still no way to get code in the new version of Galaxy

I bought this phone 3 days ago, so probably i still can go to the store and get money back and leave the mobile.

Do you think its possible that it will not be able to unlock this new models of Galaxy S or sooner or later someone will find a solution?

I already tried JM2, JM6, JM8 with and without root, i did a factory reset, but still no codes (using 3 diferents ways to get codes).

Thanks.

success on Vibrant

Easily done in less than 1 minute on Vibrant... TMo to AT&T.. downloaded app, opened app, wrote down code, rebooted, entered code, and magic!!! will be donating! Couple of questions... will I have any difficulties with maps and GPS, sync, updates, etc? My GPS location is off by a mile or so right now... is that normal? Maps force closed on me the first time I booted with AT&T a few times, after reboot it worked though. Phone had couple of small glitches first use but seems to be running fine now. :o

Many thanks for this!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
GPS is NOT affected by the SIM-Lock.

Your problem is related to the GPS Driver/Hardware/Software. Samsung should fix this soon.

You could try looking for a firmware update to fix some of the problems.

RazvanG
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] footsoldier1:
OK, good to know.. thanks! I just got a maps update, still off on the GPS. No big deal though. I don't use it often enough. Hopefully it will get fixed soon.

Another question for you all... since I now switched from Tmo to ATT on the Vibrant using this app... will I not be able to upgrade to Froyo now whenever they finally send that out.

I am not very tech savvy and don't feel comfortable rooting or anything like that... just curious as to whether or not I will be able to upgrade.

Hi Guys,

I unlocked my i897 that I have bought from USA. But it is really boring to use it with unmanageble AT&T programs. I want to get rid of those sheet programs.

I had a short search on internet and there are some programs such as busybox, sexy modorator that uninstall AT&T programs.

So far it was good but then What should I set up to the phone to use its Navigation, TV, radio and its other specialities. Do you know that kind of programs that I can setup and use effectively?

Is it normal for this device to stop working with the original carrier after unlocking? Fido SIM works fine but now Bell SIM does not. As far as unlock method goes, entered the NCK at the prompt after inserting Fido SIM. Now whenever I use the Bell one I get no service. The Bell SIM works fine in my unlocked iPhone 3g.

The reason I want to know is Rogers data service has been down almost every weekday this past week in Windsor.

Captivate Unlock

OK, just picked up my captivate from AT&T yesterday. it is running version 2.1-Update1 (I897UCJH7).

I have tried all methods i have found to retrieve the unlocked codes.

I have verified the only lock is the SIM-lock.

Errors listed above apply to most of my tries.

Could AT&T have further enhanced the protection of this file in this firmware version?

With the "easy" methods, no codes come back, and error is stated that the file "nv_data.bin" is not found. With the hard method (using terminal) error code comes back as "access denied" to /efs/.

Any suggestions ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TDO:
If you can't accees /efs you have not enough rights.

So you have to root your phone and make the same thing as superuser.
