Used the app to grab the code for my T-Mobile Vibrant. Threw in my ATT sim and entered the code. Unlocked it without issue.

Hello can someone help me please. I'm in doubt to buy a vodafone Galaxy s i9000. I can unlock this with your great work i think!

But: is the unlock permanently? Can i just run the froyo update after that( it's not updated yet ) and am i still able to use the device?

so my question: can i update the phone and still keep the simlockfree status?

it's not like the iphone, that you can't update?

Am I Missing Something?

Hey y'all:

I have the Samsung Captivate and for the life of me, cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I have tried to root and unlock and everything based on the information. I'm sure it works and everything, but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I cannot get my computers (I've got a netbook with XP and a regular laptop with Vista x86 on it) to recognize my phone and therefore cannot update it (for rooting) and then unlock it. I assume my phone has to be rooted for all these unlocking procedures to work. It can't find the nv_data.bin file.

I have downloaded the Kies Mini program, the Samsung drivers and the Galaxy S drivers.

I'm getting pretty frustrated this point. Thanks for any help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vietnam83:
The code is encrypted?

hi,

This is my .bin file. The code seem be encrypted??? This is back to the original oem firmware T959UVJFD. Can someone look at this file? Remove the .zip extension to get be .bin file.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aridoasis:
same as mine...

if you really want it unlocked no matter what, your imei will be altered

back up your entire efs folder.

delete everything in the efs folder.

reboot phone.

phone will be unlocked but you imei will be f****d up.

if you want your imei restored, copy back the backup you made of the efs folder. DO NOT LOSE YOUR EFS FOLDER BACKUP as this is the only way as of now to restore your imei.

Do this at your own risk. I do not know what other things might go wrong by doing this procedure other than the imei being altered. My phone has been running fine, but i can't say you will have the same results.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vietnam83:
so by delete the content of the file which make delete your imei? which in turn make your phone unlock?

I have the same issues after updating.

I already flashed back to stock (except the kernel I guess, still says Firmware: 2.1-update1), did not work either. Then I changed the permissions of nv_data.bin with adb, did not work again (no code found/line missing with that windows tool).

Then I looked with a hex editor in the file and like in this post there are FFFFFFFF where the unlock code should be. I tried to replace it with 00000000 but I failed to adb push it to the device (Filesystem is read only). Do you have any ideas? I read sth about remount to get the Filesystem permission right, but I don't know how to do this with Windows (the example was with the unix filesystem).

Anyways it might be a bad idea to change that file?! But I don't see another possibility, because all the other unlocking guides seemed to parse that certain part of the nv_data.bin.

Does anyone have other ideas?

Help Please

I have searched for a few hours trying to figure out how to get my Vibrant unlocked. I just bought it on craigslist and I got no idea what the dude before me did to it. Of course, the app in the market doesnt work. I've tried using the one click as well. Ive opened the files in efs with a hex editor and looked for SSNV (I found one that said 00000000000 and another that said NOT ACTIVE). The IMEI in the phone matches the IMEI in the battery compartment, which is good i believe. I am running

firmware 2.1-update

baseband version T959 UVJI6

Kernel version 2.6.29

build number ECLAIR.UVJI6

I get a SIM PIN prompt when i turn the phone on (I dismiss)

When i try to make calls it says "not registered on network"

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Please Help

I have a samsung gt-i5800, i have full access to the phone files, i can get both files the BML3 and the NV_DATA files, but in none of them i can get the 8 digit code!! Y tried many procedures, with the sgux.exe the executable ends in searching code, with no reply, and then with the sgs unlocker application it returns--- null--- for the codes, i also tried to search the code in the files with a hex, not either.... Any help will be appreciated!!! The phone files downloded are attached to message!!! I would like to add that all the files downloaded from the phone all have 512 bytes, I noticed that it should be around 2048, something with this could be the problem??

Unlock without sim problem.

Here is the main problem Im having.

I have the codes, thats no problem. My problem is I only have a T-Mobile SIM, and this is a T-Mobile phone. So when entering *7465625*638*# with no SIM in the phone and attempting to "relock" the phone to a different MCC/MNC such as 22610, or any OTHER MCC than T-Mobile (like 28603) and then I boot the phone up with my T-Mobile SIM, it still works. I can make and receive phone calls, and it still shows Network Lock (ON).

So my question is, how can I lock this phone to another carrier without having their sim present? So I can insert my Tmobile Sim, and get to unlock the phone with the unlock code? Thanks in advance for any help.

needless to say, it does not work. upon entering the unlock code i get an unsuccessful message.

Any help or input would be appreciated.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nicksteve:
First of all must be in debbuging mode... settings---- applications ----development----usb debugging, marked...all drivers installed, and phone been totally detected. After that try accesing folder from adb, if its rooted correctly, put all the files that comes with the unlocking program somewhere you can easily access to, like c:\adb, type cmd in command prompt, when commands open, go to adb folder, get to c:\ with cd.. then cd adb. On c:\adb type adb shell, use the command ls for list the files and folders , you must find efs folder, normally access is blocked, for accesing the folder that contains this files you must enter as a super user, type su in shell, at this point you will really know if you are rooted or not, and access folder with cd efs, try the ls command for list the files in it. If you can see the files, search forums for copying this file with the cat command to the sd card, where you can easily read them from pc. In this same forum its explained how to decode file with sgux.exe. Hope this helps!!!!

and it returned as:

the apps are easiest but if you want to use the sgux tool try copying /efs/.nv_data.bak and run it on that
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
Ok... what this means is that you have the right code but there have been a lot of these phones that don't want to unlock. For mine I had to flash back to one of the older firmwares and then enter the code as soon as it booted up. It could have been the factory reset... it could have been the older .pit file... it could just be older roms... whatever it is that is what it takes to unlock these things if it doesn't work right away.

No code found

I have tried to unlock a Vibrant multiple ways, buth i wasn't successfull. At last, i get root access and i have copied the bml3.bak and nv_data.bin files to my pc.

I opened them wit a HEX editor, and serchd for NVSS. I found a lot of numbers, but they were not separated with a . i the format: numbers.unlockcode.numbers.

I tried after them this:

- cd /efs

- mv nv_data.bin nv_data.jpc

- mv nv_data.bin.md5 nv_data.jpc.md5

- mv nv_data.bak nv_data.bin

- mv nv_data.bak.md5 nv_data.bin.md5

- reboot

but actualy, i have no nv_data.bak and nv_data.bak.md5.

I would be greatful, if someone can tell me the unlock code.
