The app is here!!!!

Look in the market... See my sig or the first post for the QR code or search for Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool in the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bowsa2511:
Dude great job!

Works beautifully :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galaxysguy:
Amazing work! Love the option to email it to yourself. Finally a simple app that provides the unlock code without having to pay someone cash and a file or their $10 app in the marketplace.

I think an ad running at the bottom wouldn't hurt that way you get at least one view per run.

samsung galaxy gti9000 international version...

Does this mean that throughout the released models this works with t mobile and at&t 3g?? (850/1900,1700)??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] captirwin:
Great job all !!!

I'm very new to all of this.

With a lot of help and patience from DAGENTOOBOY I was able to get it done.:D

Thanks again to all.

That said, I have not tried a different sim in my phone.

I have an old ATT sim that if I put it in the phone, it asks for the unlock code. If I unlock the phone and then reinsert the original T-Mobile sim, will it work? And still be unlocked?

I hope who ever reads this understands my question, because I'm not sure I do...LOL.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nbs11:
Yes. It will
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nbs11:
Also does anyone still want me to update the mac tool or is the Android app sufficient.

Trouble with Vibrant unlock but found answer!

The Generate Unlock program couldn't find some sort of file on my Vibrant and didn't come up with the unlock code.

I fixed this problem by downloading the Samsung Kies program, started it and did the procedure. Voila....did the trick!

Learned about the Kies program after watching a Youtube video on unlocking the Vibrant.

Hope this helps some of you with the same problem.

I am running I897UCJH2 plus EXT2 lag fix and i am rooted as well. i tried first time with usb debugging off and second with usb debugging on and I got the same result "Incorect code" I'd love to unlock my Captivate as I am planning to use it overseas but now i am afraid to try it again what if the freeze code doesnt work as well.

Last Edit:

It's my fault. The app works. I was using foreign sim card that require unlock code and i was entering the code from this app. After i put a t-mobile card it open different window to enter network unlock code which i did and everything is fine now.

Great job guys. Donation on its way

Dosen't work for me

I Have SGS i9000 16GB , it's unlocked from the factory.

Rom is jpjg8 (2.1).

msg say: "sorry, no codes found, unknown error".

I'll be glad to try stuff, if others will need it in the future.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
Can you please extract and attach a copy of your nv_data.bin so we can look at it ?

To do this, download the attachment provided, connect your phone in debug mode (Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging) and run the .bat file after extracting the .zip file on your PC

Thank you

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] captirwin:

I just unlock my phone.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] captirwin:
Thanks to all

It works...

I just donated ten Pounds to raz_ssx@yahoo.com. I hope thats DAGENTOOBOY or at least his team.

EVERYONE else that uses this app should do the same. Its a good cause.

Its people like you and your team that make this fun.

Thanks again to all.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
Thank you for your donation.

Yes, I'm part of the team :) and along with Dagentooboy and other DEVs we managed to find the solution to unlock the GalaxyS for Free.

You can see my name all over the credits section.

All donations made to my PayPal account go to cancer support because I had chimo for 3 years when I was 17 because I had leukemia and I know how important support is.

thank you once again

It is not me but don't worry... He deserves it too :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Arcticsilverfox:
Anyone find it funny that there's a Donate and Email option in the App, but seeing as the most likely candidates using this would be people who purchased it to unlock it for their own carrier (meaning no data yet) :D

Good job to all the devs, I'm sure a lot of people are enjoying themselves on different carriers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bowsa2511:
It's called wifi :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nbs11:
I am no longer updating the Mac Galaxy S unlocker unless people explicitly want it. The other tools seem sufficient. If you donated thank you and you can continue to use it. If you want me to post my most recent changes just tell me but I have a feeling a free android app is enough for most people.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Just tried this sweet app. The unlock came back as all 0's ? Does this mean it is not sim locked to any network ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
Sounds like a safe assumption.

I ran the app on my unlocked Singapore GT-i9000 and it comes back with zeros for the unlock code and an appropriate unfreeze code.

Tested app just to see if same results as you on an unlocked phone.

Well, I got sick and tired of waiting for my seller to e-mail me the unlock code for the Vibrant that was supposed to be unlocked!

Anyway, the Unlock Tool from Android Market works like a charm, and it spewed out the code in seconds. Thanks again to everyone involved with this miracle hack.

I never could get the Mac version of the unlocker to work though --didn't try the Windows method.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
Make sure that Network Lock is not on... go to phone and enter *#7465625#

On another note is there any way we can get this thread stickied?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] z_dori:
My I9000 is unlocked.

Thus is y I don't c the codes?

To Keep or Not to Keep

I've unlocked my phone and all is well.

Thanks to all.

Is it necessary to keep the app on the phone, or can I delete it?

att is trying so hard to keep the captivate locked: when trying to install the sgs unlock I get the following msg: install blocked for security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in Android Market>

do you have a solution for this?

I appreciate your effort

Sanezi2001
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
I really have no idea.... my guess would be no but if you have adb you could try

adb shell
ls /efs/
ls /dev/bml*

And PM me the results. If they use the same configuration then it might work. If not it might be similar.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
menu->Settings->Applications->Unknown sources must be checked.

Also try to install it from the market... just search Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool or scan the QR code below.

Exelent job works fantastic:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] samoelito:
i have a Q guys. I've unlocked my vibrant before this free unlock was discovered, so i had to pay 30 dollars.

Now, my question is: does the unlock done with a diff method activate the 3g to use witch att antenas? Is there any secret menu where i can see the frequencies supported?

Or do i have to upload a bat file to the phone? i dont get with this one....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] machalla:
I tried the unlock app on my Galaxy S earlier (Vodafone Ireland - network locked) with no luck. I did recieve unlok and unfreeze codes but I have made 2 attempts to unlock it unsuccessfully. Only 1 attempt left and I don't think I can risk it any further as onces it locked you don't get any more attempts I assume even if you unfreeze it?

I entered the unlock code as is with an O2 Ireland Sim in place at the time.

Any suggestions welcome on this one.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] applebook:
I'm not sure about the Galaxy, but with other phones, it's possible to reset the unlocking "lock" on attempts.

However, since the codes did not work, you should definitely not try them again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] steelforce:
I have a Captivate running the stock ROM. I downloaded the app from the marketplace, generated the codes, turned off the phone, and swapped in a spare Orange Spain SIM I have.

First of all, on previous phones, I thought you were given 5 changes, not 2, to enter the correct unlock code. However, on my Captivate, I was given 2.

I entered the unlock code and hit unlock. It reported an error. Stupidly, I thought I made a typo while entering the code, so I did it again. It failed again, and asked for the PUK unlock code.

1. Am I screwed?

2. Why didn't the code (as generated) work?

I'm going to download the Windows app and see if it gives me the same code in the meantime....

EDIT: I've confirmed the code returned from "Generate Unlock Windows" is exactly the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
If your $30 got you a code then this is no different. Sorry... if you backup all your data and do a factory reset my phone picked up all the settings for the new carrier during the bootup process.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
Can anyone confirm that the PUK code is the unfreeze code that is also generated by the app and the windows script?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TriC_101:
Nope... the PUK code stored in the sim card.... only your provider knows the code.. based on the SN of the sim card. also if you get the PUK code wrong more then the times allowed you will have to get a new sim card.. I know someone that did this.

Captivate unlocked with MAC Tool

Thanks a lot for the MAC tool - worked on my MBP and give the unlock code for my Captivate (SGS-i897) to use it here in germany with vodafone.

Pop in my business ultra card and no probs to access the web or exchange server.

Will donate today

Again great work from your guys at XDA Dev :cool:

But at last one question: do i need to fill the empty boxes of MCC/MNC (after enter *7465625*638*#) on my phone for any reason?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] machalla:
Sorry I should have been more specific but it was late last night. Its a Samsung GT-I9000 on the box as a model number but the branding is also galaxy s on the box.

I entered in the 8 digit unlock code with my O2 sim card in the phone. Tried it again after powering off the phone and checking the unlock code.

Just in case any of that is of relevance or will help someone else.

Thanks for your advice on this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kingcory:
What is un freeze code and what does this code do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
It is posted in this thread... but if you try a wrong unlock code to many times it will freeze your phone... so you would have to enter the unfreeze code to get back to the unlock. I am not sure how many times it takes to freeze it. Some people have said 2 and I tried it a good 6-7 times on my phone. I guess it varies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SBD.Alt:
I'm getting the same problem. And my SD card is mounted...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] j_j2:
You don't need an external sd card. Did you copy the nv file to your computer? You have to copy it there before you run the program
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] j_j2:
It depends on which version you get. Some support 850 and some 900
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bowsa2511:
For all those experiencing errors/problems with unlocking the phone for all-carrier access, I suggest you try the "(re)lock to phone method" in which you're "locking" your phone to a network; technically speaking, you're not removing the original carrier from being used as your network, but adding an additional network to the phone's "allowed" list of networks allowed to make use of the phone's radio.

If the method is successful for you, apply the correct APN settings for your respective carrier.

Tell me if that works for you guys :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
I agree we need to figure out how to unlock these stubborn phones. My flash back with repartition method seems to be holding some people back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gwwaters:
That works for me! However, I am trying using only a single SIM... awaiting another SIM card in the mail to see if I can do the "classic" unlock.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
OK... so it seems that several people are using this unlock method on ebay. For all of us who have put countless hours in on this it is very frustrating to see people profit from our work. One person sold 9 software unlocks based on the information here. At $12 each that is $108 to one seller alone. I don't know if there is anything we can do but it really makes me upset.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ron_barcello:
Can´t see the benefit to add another carrier to the list because i haven´t access to AT&T here in europe (e.g. germany) therefore i guess also no to the phone´s radio - right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ron_barcello:
unlock method on ebay

your right dagentooboy - but as you said before - you (we) can´t do anything against it...there are allways at any time people stealing other ones ideas to sell as theres - thats the real world today :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
Well I have proof that one of them is selling the SGUX utility!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mikeawerwar33:
Hey, I can't get it working.

I've installed Kies, and my phone is also being detected by Windows (7 64bit), but when I start "Generate_Code.bat" it says:

Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Electroz:
Go into Settings > Applications > Development and make sure USB Debugging is checked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nbs11:
The only way to stop this in theory is to file a lawsuit against them saying the product had a license for non-commercial use only.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bowsa2511:
I also looked into that, but I'm not experienced in legal matters. But i've observed teamviewer/remote desktop solutions which I believe are using our tools, through online means. I've seen imei solutions (don't know how they work, or if they're used as a front to cover their tracks), and finally the program.

There's a button to file a complaint, infrigement, illegal use, etc; though I don't really have a way of proving it without actually purchasing the software :(

No, the benefit of adding the carrier is using it in conjunction with the carriers that operate and function on the bands compatible with the phone's radio.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nbs11:
Ebay is not a legal court. If you can show them that YOU wrote the original code by linking to the XDA-forum then ebay will remove it. Simple as that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SBD.Alt:
That works!

Thank you!

For those of you having the same problem, once you enable USB debugging, click on the USB notification and mount your storage...

Then run the batch file...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Yo_MaMa:
The thing and problem here is, that if they are advertising and unlock SERVICE. they are technically just providing professional help to those who are afraid of doing it themselves, and it IS legal to charge for that. If its advertised like that, they are not charging for a free code, they are charging for doing the process themselves. just my two cents.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mikeawerwar33:
Thanks it worked, but the program said that my unlock code = 00000000

Is this plausible? (I can't test it yet because I don't have another simcard)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nbs11:
True...However, some of them are services that literally only give you the program and then you are on your own.

rogers pay as you data?

great work i have successfully unlocked my samsung galaxy s vibrant from bell. one question though how do i use my rogers pay as you go data? when i try and use the browser on the cell network it just says page cannot be found. Any ideas how to fix this?...

never mind figured it out just had to add apn setting for rogers
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] machalla:
Just a word of warning, I tried the relock to phone method and now no sim cards are being accepted by the the phone (the locked network was Vodafone Ireland). Once I had followed the step I get a message "Not registered on network".

"enter *7465625*638*# and relock the phone to another network other than the one u have u'r sim card (eg 22610)"

When I powered the phone back up with a sim card from O2 I was asked to enter an unlock code (3 attempts). The one from sgs didn't work. I tried a vodafone Ireland sim next which previously worked and once again was asked to enter an unlock code which didn't work.

I assume I've effectively wiped all sims and networks out from the phone with the above command, but I don't seem to get an option to try and relock the phone to a network as specified on page 1 of the thread. I just get asked for the unlock code.

Any ideas or am I doing something very stupid here (I can only assume so).

Not sure if a factory reset will set the network back to what it was (I doubt it).

Thanks again for any help.

Can someone tell me why unlocking our phone voids the warranty?

And does AT&T actually know whether we unlocked our phone or not?

What happens if we re-flash the phone? will we lose the unlock?

Yeah but I bought one just to see and the .bat (same as what you get from here) deletes the sgux.exe, adb.exe, and the dll files leaving only the script in the folder... He says that is so that people don't use "his" method more then once.... but it is not "his" method.... and he told me that if I didn't follow his instructions exactly I would have to purchase THE FREE SOFTWARE again because "it only runs once"
