Hi there, I have a galaxy S locked to TMN PT, my firmware was updated so I could get root. My firmware is 2.3.6 and the baseband version is XXJW4. I saw two methods here in the thread, which one should I use? I tried already the first one, but when on the terminal emulator the phone on this step "chown radio.radio /efs/nv_data.bin || chown 1001.1001 /efs/nv_data.bin" gave me an error message saying "radio:radio unknown group". After that I reset the terminal window to not to save the changes (I think). What can I do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Szwarcu:
i've got Galaxy S from Orange with SIM problem.

Today i've bought Play sim card and put it into my phone, it asked me for PIN so i wrote the actual SIM Pin that is 1020, didn't work.

So i though "oh dear, simlock..." then went on XDA and found this guide.

I did frist step and i got nv_data.bin on my computer, i tried to find the code with HEX editor but it's missing..

Then i used SGS Unlock Tool and it said there is no code found... So tried Generate Unlock Code and it didn't find the code too :eek:

Do you have any ideas how to deal with this?

I got superuser so afaik my phone is rooted, right? And it's CM10.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
You will have to do the hex hack to get it to work. I have seen phones that won't unlock with the code but will unlock with the hex hack.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] explodingboy70:
Just wanted to say that the unlock method without SIM works.

My daughter has my old Vibrant T959 and is using it as a media/game player and I was having a terrible time because when I would factory reset I could use wifi data to go to the play store and download but an hour later I would lose that ability. I would still be able to surf the net but couldn't download anything from anywhere. I called T-Mo and asked for the unlock code which took an hour of the tech trying to figure out what I was trying to do then finally stating that I sound like I know more than him, another 12 hours to get the code emailed. Finally the vibrant is network unlocked and I can get learning games for my daughter.

I will note that I was not able to get the code using the app or the MS bat file. I'm sure this will be a great reference thread still as more and more devices get older and we want to use them for other purposes or sell them.

Thanks to all involved.

Any help?

I never did figure out how th unlock the DoCoMo phone....sorry.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Andrewwelton:
Just a quick question, I used the Manual Hex method, I don't have a SIM from another network right now to try it with, but when I put in a valid SIM from Bell, it says there's no SIM? I'm guessing the nv_data.bin is corrupted in some way?

Using an I9000M if it matters.

The first method hworks very good on tmobile vibrant.

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

I have 2 of the same phones, both show network unlocked via hidden menu, but both ask for PUK codes when inserting a different sim card, did you come across this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] m82a1:
nope - after the hex edit i turned off the phone and inserted sim cards.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] godd:
So, if I do hex edit of nv_data, I do not need any unlock codes, correct? It won't ask me any code when I change a sim card, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] m82a1:
correct - provided you do it properly.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yogal:
Hi everyone,

I tried to follow this guide on my SGS Plus (9001) phone, but it does not have the /efs/nv_data.bin folder at all.

The phone had stock 2.3.6 ROM flashed before, worked great all the time. It has an IMEI number (no null/null values). I have no idea what's wrong.

Previously I had a Galaxy Mini, which i unlocked in a similar way (used hes editor to lookup the unlock code in some .bin file as well).

Any help will be appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
If you don't have nv_data.bin somewhere then it won't work.

Hey, I know this thread is old but I just wanted to say Thanks man. This worked perfectly to unlock an AT&T Captivate SGH-i897.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] slytidar:
can you tell me which method you used ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
The HEX hack is the one that works on most devices. Unfortunately the unlcok code was removed from the bin file a long time ago.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ysuleman:
So if it was removed I won't be able to use the method listed in the post?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
The HEX hack will still work.... The codes aren't in the file anymore.

You dont even have to root the phone or need adb to get the nv_data.bin file. This is what I did

1) Installed Better Terminal Emulator 3.17 App

2) Launched the App on the device which will give you a command prompt (shell)

3) cat /efs/nv_data.bin >> /sdcard/nv_data.bin

4) Connected the phone via USB and copied the nv_data.bin from phone onto computer.

5) Used the sgux2 and it returns Freeze Code, unlock Code

Engadget reports that the T-Mobile Vibrant can be unlocked to work on AT&T 3G:

hxxp:/ [triple w] .engadget. com /2010/08/22/confirmed-galaxy-s-unlock-codes-are-stored-in-your-phone-vibra/

(I can't post URLs yet)

Does this mean that the T-Mobile and Bell Vibrants have identical hardware? If so, can the Bell version be unlocked to work on Wind 3G (which runs on AWS, like T-Mobile USA)? This would be awesome news for those in Canada wanting to have an AWS Galaxy S...

I've search for the answer, but failed to find what I'm asking. I ve read about nandroid backup, but what I was wondering, after u flash a rom, is there an easy way to recover ur original settings, such as shortcuts, webpage shortcuts, contact pictures and links etc. I used to flash my windows mobile phone all the time, but hated setting everything again all the time.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
I recently flashed to JM5 + Lagfix 2.3, installed a few apps and played around with the phone until it dropped to 15% battery.. charged it to 100% and went out while i was on the way to my destination i was just exploring around the UI getting to know andriod a little better and I noticed my battery % was dropping like 1% per 1min.. I have the mod for battery indicator with %. my total unplugged time was 2hrs+ my battery was down to 64%. Looking at the battery usage its saying that 75% of it was taken by the display and the run timer was 38mins.. i have the brightness level at 1/4 of the way and it seems to drain unreasonably fast.. all other process was at 2-3% usage only. This never happened when I got the phone for the first 3 days ( came with DXJG4 )

Wifi/bt/gps/autosync/bgdata are all off, using 2G network also and power saving for the display is also off.

Is my battery flakey or just the OS giving me the wrong information ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Ok so i wiped my internal SD card and reflashed JM5 + repartition again and after booting my battery when to 68% from 53%..

EDIT:

Rebooted the phone and im now getting 56% LOL!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
There's a thread about resetting your battery threshold in the development section. Try that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adevem:
previously when i reboot my phone, it'll fly from ~20% to ~50% lol. it's just some calibrating issue i think. i drained it to ~5% then charged it up until it NOTIFIES me that it's fully charged(ignore the battery meter / %), wait for the popup thing specifically.

works fine for me.

and

http://download846.mediafire.com/22bqh4qd73gg/qnyhjlyjm3y/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk

i have installed them normally with astro file manager..because via adb push in system/app i get the error of read only memory =)=)

and if i do "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system" is ok..but using adb push..and chancing mtdblock from 1 to 6..i allways get only 1 error..full memory

but..when i click on a live wallpaper..the application stops and i get an error..so they are there..but i can't use them..that's a shame!!!

i have the tattoo too and live wallpapers..but..there's a hard root

i think that we need the hard root for wildfire..and without the NAND protection..maybe we can write in system/app..

or we can choose for a custom rom ihihih =)

Btw, live wallpapers will come to wildfire, just wait the full root for people to look on a solution ;) We can already enable JIT and we'll soon be able to O/C, combined to the low resolution (qvga), live wallpapers should run flawless
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] danne_jo:
its possible. someone "just" have to compare for example hero`s hacked framework and see what they added to make it work. it is in the framework. and the work can be done right now if someone does this. i could try the package when its done if recovery havent been released at that time.

I have tried to use omnius to flash the phone but i dont know where to get the generic x10 mini software from . U20i I believe it is.

Can anyone help me with this problem either to resolve it using pc companion or tell me were i can get the u20 i software to flash with omnius. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated cos as it stands I would not even be able to upgrade to 2.1 when its released. Thanks.

I have an rooted X10 mini pro and wanted the new update but had no succes trying to update from the phone.

And the "x10root" works perfectly even after the update.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zodiac100:
I tried to use SE update service too to get back to original state but that too just says my phone s up to date and gives no option to install the software anyway only to exit the program. Some people use pc companion or SE update service to restore their phone after rooting but neither are working for me. I used the exploid method to root like most people so i dont know why i cant restore my phone software using the same SE update software that every one else uses. Really frustrating.
