[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danzgrace:
I did now, reinstalled and still no codes found. I think this is because of newer firmware some people who reported got their firmware flashed with old version has success stories.

Hello,

I am trying to unlock my AT&T Samsung Captivate that I bought earlier and I've been reading through this thread for most of today. After I have obtained the unlock code I restarted my phone with a Fido Sim card; however, my phone doesn't prompt me for a Sim network unlock pin and it just proceeds to the desktop.

I have followed the steps closely, could anyone perhaps provide me with some insight on what I might of missed?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nakagusukumike:
step 1: install the samsung drivers metioned above.

step 2: grab the unlocker stuff in the first post here

step 3: open cmd.exe and navigate your way into the folder containing all the stuff you unzipped (adb.exe will be in there)

step 4: plug in your phone and be sure you have debugging enabled.

step 5: THIS IS THE TEST.

in your command prompt:

adb devices

If you don't see something listed there, then none of the rest of the shell scripts and stuff will work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pkL:
I used SGS Unlock to obtain the unlock code but I'll try your method.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pkL:
Okay I just did it the method you mentioned, I got my unlock and unfreeze code which matches with that of SGS Unlock, which it is supposed to.

But my phone still doesn't prompt me for the sim network unlock pin and also I get the no sim card in phone screen even though I clearly have my Fido sim in it and to make sure I borrowed my sister's Fido sim and the same thing happens.

Hi,

I have a GT-I9000 locked in Bouygues Telecom network (France), firmware I9000XXJM2.

Thanks for the app, I have been able to unlock.

Looks like there is a problem updating the firmware to JM8. Does this method work for a rooted SGS with JM8?

Thanks

I bought the code but it did not unlock

I have the same problem, i tried every method i found in this forum to get the code for my Galaxy S i9000 from portuguese TMN and i couldnt get the code, so i decided to buy it from unlocksamsungonline. nl and tried to insert the code the 3 possible ways (with and without SIM) and i always get this:

network unlock request unsuccessful

:(

I have been trying to unlock this phone for 3 weeks :(

I tried JM2, JM6, JM8 and JPK all with and without root, and tried all the methods without sucess. They just dont work in this phone, but even with a bought code from IMEI i cant get it to unlock.

Is this a new version of Galaxy S that is not unlockable?

:confused:

Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drizze99:
Just got the Samsung Vibrant last week. I rooted it and that's it. I am still running everything stock. I downloaded the Galaxy S unlocker from the Android Market and it gave me the unlock code and unfreeze code. I put my friends AT&T sim into the phone and it asked for the unlock code. I typed it in and it verified it and unlocked the phone.

Thank You to everyone who had a hand in making this so easy to unlock the phone!!

Please Help

Hello, I have the same problem as agnieszkay2k :( !!

my model is : Samsung Vibrant T-Mobile / Model SGH-T959

Firmware: 2.1-update1

Baseband: T959UVJFD

I bought a code on e-bay and got the code from the sgsunlocker app. They are both the same!!! (So it's proof of beeing correct right?)(Oh and good work for the app, I'll donate my refunded e-bay money if you guys save me)

I tried it only once but I'm sure my code tries are a total of 4( yeah, when I bought it I didn't know what it was really asking for.).. so I'm thinking I'm at 4/5 before the hardlock.

So please help:

- Is it possible to go on an older firmware with this phone? And how?

- Does anybody have feedback if the unfreeze code works?

To put it simply, how do I go on? I'm so tempted to put the code another time, but if it doesn't work, I'm screwed. I live in switzerland and Samsung doesn't want to touch american models.. They only unfreeze I9000 and at a cost.

Thanks in advance!!

adb device not found..any help?

Hi,

I just rooted the vibrant by following the instructions on Root your Vibrant

topic here

When I do adb shell, it says device not found.

Vibrant connected through USB

Debugging Enabled

Tried mounting/unmounting Mass Storage

Brand new vibrant which I bought yesterday.

I have Emulator running, when I start the emulator and do adb devices with my vibrant connected, it only shows the emulator and not vibrant

Am I missing anything after rooting, is there anything else need to be done?

Any help greatly appreciated
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DARKKRAKEN:
Did you install the standalone USB driver or install Samsung Kies?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cool_tech:

I did not install anything after I followed the steps on Root your Vibrant topic, can you point me to the USB driver installation please?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] armrob:
for those who succesfully obtained an unlock code and the code does not work, there is a solution. you can actually the network that the phone is locked to. here's how :

After you get the NCK code using the method above, enter: *7465625*638*#

There will be a pop-up box.

Complete the first field (MCC/MNC) with the network you want your phone locked to (eg. 226 10 where 226 = romania; 10 = orange etc.) and the second field (Control Key) with the NCK extracted from the .bak file.

Press OK and your phone should relock to the network you choose.

for example, I wanted to use Rogers, i used 302 720. now my phone is locked to rogers and accepts my sim card without any problems. it is still not TOTALLY UNLOCKED but I can change the network as i please.

all country codes can be found here :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code

This is ONLY for those who succesfully obtained their code using the software method and the phone won't accept it.

Now I can say SCREW BELL !!! LOL
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dnsp:
Just install a good terminal shell application from the market and run it from the galaxy itself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nanobot2k:
confirmed on bell
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dnsp:
So the same applies to those that don't have a spare SIM card from another network to get to the unlock menu:

Insert *7465625*638*# and choose MCC/MNC other than your own network. Reboot, phone will ask for the code - insert the code.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rodrigos122:
do we have to enter the unlock code every time we switch to a different sim card?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
If you change the mobile network code then yes. If you used the instructions in post 1 and used another networks sim then it should be unlocked for any sim forever
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MiKE431:
This seems to work on my Bell Galaxy S Vibrant. While it was still locked to BELL I placed my ROGERS sim card in the phone, booted it up. Dismissed the sim unlock prompt when it came up. Typed *7465625*638*# into the dialer, put ROGERS MCC/MNC in the box (302720), put the code sgux gave in the box. Hit the back button to take the keyboard away, hit ok, phone said "lock successful." After powering it off and powering it on again, my phone is now functional on the ROGERS network.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TriC_101:
you should have done it the other way.. typed your unlock code into the sim unlock prompt when it came up then your phone will be unlocked forever.. the way you did it (*7465625*638*#) you will have to type the code in every time you use a different Sim

Nice to hear that the SGUX tool is useful! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cool_tech:
Bad luck for me, unlock did not work for my phone.

It said unlock code unsuccessful, I tried twice and stopped.

This is what I did

1) Rooted Vibrant

2) Install terminal emulator on the device as adb shell did not worked for me.

3) got the bml3.bak

4) sgux showed the code

5) Entered in the box and hit ok

Got the message as unlock unsuccessful :(

The point was to test if an unlock could be done using only a single sim card.

As many of you guys have posted before, i got the same error message when the script tries to copy the nv_data.bin file. I've tried with both Android versions (2.1 and Froyo) with a lot of FWs and with all the unlock techniques described earlier. Also, I installed the recommended samsung drivers, the recommended I9000XXJF7 and followed the proper steps (usb debbuging activated, get the phone rooted, even using the app from the market )... nothing worked.

I attempted to copy manually the nv_data.bin / bak file using 'adb shell' but a 'permission denied' message is everywhere. I think that solving the copy thing i will be in a good shape to recover the codes... but I'm totally stucked here..

Could anyone solve this issue?

I would greatly appreciate it. I have gone from going back to the stock to froyo, using the apps and software and nothing. If someone could provide some sort of assistance I would LOVE THAT. Also if you know how to just switch it to the T-Mobile network that would be fine too! Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shinji257:
I'm probably jumping the gun on this but I think it worked on mine. I did find one little hiccup for those that just rooted their phones. If you do su in adb shell then make sure your screen is on the phone especially the first time around. The phone will prompt for permission to grant superuser right. I completely missed that and did search for it although it didn't stick out right away.

I still need to get another sim to do the actual unlock. I'll probably borrow a T-Mobile sim from someone at work or from a friend.

EDIT: I assume this changed because I got the OTA. If you have the OTA (but not Froyo 2.2) then you must have root to read /efs/nv_data.bin which is probably why SGS Unlock wasn't working for me.

Update (10/18/10): I borrowed a friends' T-Mobile sim card (actually he is letting me keep it) and it produced the network unlock screen. I put in my code and it responded with network unlock successful. Thank you very much!
