Samsung Vibrant unlocked successfully using not active ATT 3G sim.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sacred Warrior:
I was about to post asking if anyone had yet tried re-locking the phone (for warranty reasons) when I saw this. Very distressing... :(

Anyone _else_ has tried to re-lock? Were you successful, or not?

Also, has anyone WITH A PHONE LOCKED TO PORTUGAL'S TMN used this utility and was able to unlock it successfully? Please let me know.

I'm considering picking a tmn SGS up, but only if I can unlock it to use it w/ Optimus _and_ re-lock it if need be...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
no worries about that

there is the Unfreeze code

you can get it with the SGUX2 tool

Since you bought it from him, why not leave him feedback for others to see. Advise others that it can be found for free... vs from someone ripping off both them and you.

Unlocking from the SD Card using the apk file found on this site

First of all, I want to thank all of the developers and contributors to this unlock method. I pick up Samsumg Galaxy S GT-I9000M today. I will donate later tonite.

I was wondering if it is possible to just copy the .apk file that is downloaded from this site and place it on a Micro SD Card. Can this apk file be run or installed from the SD Card? I would like to try this as I am currently on Fido and do not want to have to search for a WiFi site when I pick the phone up at Best Buy just to install the app. If I can install it or run it from the SD Card, then I can place my SD Card in the phone, power it on and get the unlock code immediately. I can then place my Fido Sim Card in the phone and voila I should have my unlocked phone.

Hopefully someone can respond.

Thanks.

P.S. If I do not hear a response before I pick up my phone, I will try this and report back on my results.

Hello. I managed to unlock my SGS. It was locked on Orange Romania and i use it now in Vodafone Romania. Unfortunately it did not work with the simple method, i kept getting the Network Unlock Unsuccesful when i tried to enter the code. I think i did that 5 or 6 times, and my phone did not freeze. Finally i managed to unlock it using the *7465625*638*# method, so basically i locked it on Vodafone Romania now. :) Thank you guys for all your help.

One little question for you guys. I am now on JM1 (updated via KIES from JF3), will i be able to update via Kies to 2.2 whent they will release the final version?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xedamen:
Please help me! I flashed the new JPC with Kies, but now there is a pop up window after PIN. This want a Network unlock pin code! I tried the read out the code of nv_data.bin, but the code is 00000000 (eight 0) and the network unlock is not successful with this. I flashed some another ROM with Odin, but the problem is the same. What sould I do?

My phone is Locked by T-mobile Hungary! Please help me!

Thanks

Or anyone knows the lock code for T-mobile Hungary, because then I lock it with *7465625*638*#.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nbs11:
Or, since before you run the unlock you see the SGUX.exe show them your copyright in it and then force ebay to take it down. Trust me they will.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Supaplexjozsef:
Hi all!

I tried to flash the JPC firmware, anything went well, except the phone is locked somehow and asking unlock code.

I installed SGS Unlock, but when I run it says: "Sorry, no codes found"

I tried to copy nv_data.bin as above but says "permission denied".

What should I do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] luisfer691:

Did you configure the APNs
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jordiharrison:
Sorry, I don't know what you mean by that?

Under my mobile network settings I did select my provider: Bell. It says I am registered. Everything works minus 3g data. Under my Access Point Names menu there is nothing, is that what your on about?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nbs11:
Yes. You need to configure Bells APN. Google Bells APN.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jordiharrison:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fnakfhe:
bell should give us the unlock code for this phone for free.

why do we even have to bother,

no disrespect to the team here at xda that put a pickle in bells rear, (i think bell charges us for the unlock code)

but why do they charge us at bell? it should be free!

thank you xda, i need you inside of me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chappatti:
Thanks !! Worked off the bat!!!

I can verify that that my rooted ATT Captivate was cleanly unlocked by these instructions...No problems at all ..one shoT> YOU ARE THE GODS !!!!!!!:D:D:D

EDIT: USED MAC SCRIPT. THE ONE ON MULTIUPLOAD.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fnakfhe:
How did you do this step,

The code does not work for me.

First time i tested it was with iPhone rogers Sim, gave me 3/3 try's for entering pin, i stopped at try 2/3

then second time i used a different rogers Sim on a different phone and it give me 5/5 try's i stop on try 4/5

so at this point its asking me for a Sim pin not a phone lock pin?

i do not know, but just tell me where to get that file from.

I AM ON BELL AND ITS A BELL PHONE.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] y_n_t:
Hi guys,

I have a problem. I just updated my phone with 2.2 froyo and when i want to unlock the phone i received the file not found message. So, i decide to root it to make it works but here is the big problem. I copy the update file on sd, reboot the phone and select the apply update.zip and i receive the following message: E: signature verification failed. installation aborted. What can i do?

Thx.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nbs11:
Thanks! I have stopped updating the mac script but it still works (I stopped updating it cause people can just use the android app). I'm glad to know it worked (people are having trouble on PCs)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nbs11:
Root files have to be made for froyo before it will work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fnakfhe:
it turns out i was useing a locked sim for rogers.

And the default lock code was 1234,

so i just unlocked the sim first in the rogers iphone.

Then moved the unlocked sim to the locked vibrant and then entered the unlock phone code your program gave me.

I know if i could have used the 1234 unlocked sim code to unlock the sim on a locked phone, it should have work though.

Thank you xda, again!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
Since SGUX is not my utility I PMd rbnet.it and told him.... it is up to him to pursue it. It just makes me upset.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
It looks like you need root for all unlock methods on froyo. I just looked and I get permission denied on bml3, stl3, and nv_data.bin So if you update to froyo you need to make sure you unlock first.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] streakpt:
BTW you can still get the unlock codes for your phone after updating to this rom. Ive tried it yesterday and it worked. You need your phone to be rooted and copy the old data file to your pc, then you just edit the unlock bat and change some values.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] y_n_t:
If i have the phone locked, froyo installed and the phone is unrooted (because i can t root them) what can i do to use my phone? any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ulrauko:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
Either root froyo or downgrade to 2.1, unlock, upgrade.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
If it is not froyo then the app should work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] y_n_t:
How can i root froyo? because the update.zip files doesn't work for me. says the file is not signed. What can i do?

Hello there,

i think this is a stupid question, but, does this works on a Samsing Galaxy S i9000 selled in Portugal by TMN operator?

damned jpc rom

hey ! did anyone manage to unlock i9000 gt (european) locked after installing jpc rom. i was foul enough to flash among the firsts and now i can't use my phone in any network. not even the one it was locked on.i think i have tried almost every thing.

-i use usb in debugging mode

-i have the latest drives

-application won't work (" device not found error")

-adb error ( can't copy nv_data.bin file because it is a read only file)

-emulator does not let me copy file to sd card .

please make any sugestion ,i am very opened to sugestions. i am thinking to buy a code from the internet ( the imei ones )

thank you , marius.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] quiron:
Help - unlock via imei needed here

Same here too. And "00000000" doesn't work :(

My operator is TMN. I do not know what I need to do to unlock this. The worst part is that I neither wanted to unlock the phone :(.

I think, at this time, the best chance to get an unlock code is via IMEI.

Someone here in the forum who can do that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supernova2:
evrika!

for those of u having a very very hard time trying to unlock the phone after flashing the JPC rom , u must do this :

7. My Phone asks me for a Unlock Code. Product Code has changed to KOR. What to do?

- Your Phone have to be rooted! Busybox is required!

- Start->Run-> cmd

- Change to your SDK\tools Directory e.g cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android SDK\tools

- adb shell

- su

- cd /efs

- ls -al

If now nv_data.bak AND nv_data.bak.md5 are displayed, do the next few steps marked with (a)

If now .nv_data.bak AND .nv_data.bak.md5 are displayed (dot before filenames), do the next few steps marked with (b).

(a)- mv nv_data.bin nv_data.jpc

(a)- mv nv_data.bin.md5 nv_data.jpc.md5

(a)- mv nv_data.bak nv_data.bin

(a)- mv nv_data.bak.md5 nv_data.bin.md5

(a)- reboot

(b)- mv nv_data.bin nv_data.jpc

(b)- mv nv_data.bin.md5 nv_data.jpc.md5

(b)- mv .nv_data.bak nv_data.bin

(b)- mv .nv_data.bak.md5 nv_data.bin.md5

(b)- reboot

Now your Phone shouldn´t ask for a Code.

after that u can unlock ur phone with the methods shown in this thread . even the unlock android apk works ! :D very good job developers ty. BAD BAD samsung setting us such a trap.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
The app now asks for root and copies .nv_data.bak to the sdcard

The app did not work for me either.

I used the script for PC to generate the codes and voila!! :D

Tmobile Vibrant

will this work on the t-mobile vibrant and att 3g?

I would be willing to pay someone a few bucks or more to walk me through this and give me the unlock
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] machalla:
A quick update, I figured out why the unlock code didnt work. I got the same unlock code from Vodafone Ireland so its not the app thats at fault. My O2 Ireland sim was pre-pay. I stuck a billpay O2 sim in and then the phone unlocked successfully with the code. So if anyone else is having a similar problem try a billpay sim (if phone was gotten on billpay) and you might have more luck. Hope thats some help to some of you out there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] snwahs:
Yes it works with both. Donate to the Dev, you don't need to pay someone to walk you through it. DL the app from the marketplace, run it, write the code down, insert other carrier sim, input code you wrote down. Not hard at all.

Unlocking vibrant t959 fail

hi,I rooted my cellphone successfully.

Then bought an unlock code from some website. this code didn´t work. so I tried this "Script" u guys have in this website and It gave me the same code that I had bought already.

I don´t know what else to try. I am willing to donate of course, if any of you guys point me in the right direction to unlock this cellphone.

I already called TMobile but I don't have an account with them so they wont help me.

I am trying the non-sim way, and every time I lock it it says successful, but when I put in my ATT Sim card, it just connects like normal.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
As far as we can tell the non-sim way just adds the new carrier code to your list of approved carriers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sacred Warrior:
Ignoring the sarcastic tone, you're right... my bad.

Furthermore I assume that, since some people are resorting to locking to their own carrier when the full unlock fails, there's a good number that can confirming that the re-lock codes generated are also correct, right? (that was my second question on the original post)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 02CWRX:
How/where do you find out what it needs to be for the correct network? I unlocked an AT&T Captivate phone to try my T-Mobile SIM in it (which works except for data...), but Id like to know how to lock it back to AT&T for sure in case I need to...

~T.J.

EDIT: There are a few listed here, but how do I know for sure which one it was using before hand? Was I supposed to check something before it was unlocked? Or does it tell me somewhere after I put the AT&T SIM card back in?

Phone re-locked itself

Ok I have something really weird going on here. I had to reflash the firmware to my phone using ODIN and the Tmobile UVJFD stock/shipping rom. Same as what came on my phone. Won't get into reasons why. :D

However, my phone was already unlocked before doing the reflash. I got the code from Tmobile soon as I got my phone before the unlock was discovered. So I wondered if I was going to have to re-unlock it and I discovered the damn thing was network locked once again. I thought ok easy fix I will just go through the unlock process once again.....unsuccessful no matter which method I tried. Insert ATT SIM and wait for prompt, or the #7465625*638*# with or without TMO SIM and unlock it that way. I tried all and nothing worked.

So for grins I took my /efs/nv_data.bin and ran the sgux.exe utility against it and it gave me the same exact unlock code. Also gave me the unfreeze code as well. I called Samsung which was a waste of a half hour.

Anyone run into this? Any ideas? I also made sure ODIN didn't touch the partitions. Even if it did I already had a good backup of my /efs partition anyway. My IMEI is fine as well. But this is still very strange.

Mystery Solved

I was able to unlock the phone by using an earlier version of the SGS Unlock app, v.1 worked for me.

It appears the later one does not work on some unrooted phones.

Just my thoughts.
