I updated the first post. The scripts aren't that hard to use and they are free.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raduque:
I wanna say thanks, folks. I just used the sgux.exe util to unlock my T-Mobile Vibrant and it worked perfectly (I don't have an active AT&T SIM, but the unactive one I put in worked to unlock with, but i couldn't test functionality). If I had anything to donate, I would.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
Alright, worked like a charm with my GT-I9000M! :D Awesome! Again, all you have to do is download the nv_data.bin file to your computer (via USB, Bluetooth, whatever), open it in a hex editor (there are tons of free hex editors floating around), chase down the SSNV string and you're good to go! Many thanks, will donate.

P.S. Just curious, anyone care to explain how come I couldn't find the bml3 file wherever they said it was going to be (i.e. the /dev/block/ folder)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NWolf:
Not to crap on your post dude, but the hex locations were already known and used by both Helroz and myself (and documented in a couple other threads) at least a month before your made your posts. I just assumed you got that information from our other threads, since they were pretty busy threads and detailed the methods you listed quite extensively.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NWolf:
Over 2000 people would disagree with you. Period.

I tested today on my galaxy S from Portugal / TMN and it worked very well, it's unlocked :D

10x a milion.The unlocking worked for me on my SGS from Ireland, locked to the Meteor network.

The way with the terminal emulator worked oerfectly.10x to the people made this thread.I will definately donate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] helroz:
On france, the new phones sold on froyo havent a new version of nv_data and no codes for simunlock.

All actually method don't work on this, just one method made by me work, I have unlock 3 of this new nv_data. (Edit: 4 now)

I work on an new apk

free

for unlock without codes all nv_data (old and new version).

Dagentooboy enjoy our free labor to fill the pockets, i'm disagree.

And

dawen

, your method is a copy of method posted on a galaxy tab, galaxy tab have nv_data compatible with i9000. This is an hard work to copy an existing work

I unlock phones with no codes since 16 September 2010 (locked by froyo).

Hi,

I've been trying to follow you method and when I run 'Generate_Code.bat' I get an error message while it's trying to copy the 'nv_data.bin' file.

failed to copy '/efs/nv_data.bin' to './nv_data.bin' : Permission denied

Extract code

and this is where I'm blocked. :(

Can anyone help me find a fix?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DoUbLeR84:
do you have a root access to the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ArchonS:
Tell me why my /efs is empty? I've got correct IMEI.

Now i got JPU but initially it was some Ecalir - was the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ct85msi:
I rooted my Froyo 2.2.1 and unlocked it with nv_data.bin tampering.

My question is, will it lock again after I update to next firmware like Android 2.3 or it will stay unlocked ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DoUbLeR84:
When you update ... the phone will stay unlocked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shaolin_bubu:
No, would that void my warranty?

Would rooting my phone void my warranty?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] behemot24:
try this, it took me 5 minutes to unlock my phone and it's free :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ArchonS:
Is it possible I haven't 'nv_data.bin' file and other in my /efs?

How can I unlock without these files?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
New discovery!!!!

I posted this on the first post here and I updated the PRO unlock app to include this.

using your favorite HEX editor open the nv_data.bin on the sdcard

jump to address 0x181468

you should see a string like this

ff 01 00 00 00 00 46 46

there are 5 different types of locks in 5 different bytes

the FF byte should be left alone

the first byte after the FF is the network lock

the next byte is the network subset lock

the next byte is the sp lock

the next byte is the cp lock

the last byte appears to be a data lock.

the 46 46 should be left alone

Change any 0x01 to 0x00 (or 0x00 to 0x01 to lock for warranty)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] corman1:
OK i GOT LAZY . I took the easy way out, I rooted my I9000M with JL2 installed the Pro SGS_Unlock.apk , exectuted the app hit unlock and done in less tha 1/2 a sec. Phone is sim unlocked.

thanks to all who have contibuted to many different ideas in this thread. There were other options which were just as effective and they need to be thanked also.

You need to root your phone first, then you need to use root explorer to se the efs folder on root and the files inside. Copy the entire efs folder for backup

After some hours, it worked on a USA Vibrant. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bizkopt:
in my case this method did not work,

I try something different:

I changed too nv_data.bak and delete nv_data.bin.md5 and nv_data.bak.md5 and now my phone is unlocked

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] corman1:
I have the same phone you do with the same update. I used the $5 app to unlock it after I rooted it using SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CASz:
I did what corman1 did. I had gotten my code when I was on JH 2 but I relocked and couldn't unlock again. Using this Pro version was fast and easy. Thanks to all the contributers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
Well mine uses the method listed on the first post. helroz app uses a generic nv_data.bin file and populates the values. There is nothing wrong with either method.

The whole reason I made the pro app was to make the simplest and most reliable way to clear all the lock bits while leaving the nv_data.bin file in place.

If you don't want to spend $5 every step of the method my app uses is on the first post of this thread.

You rooted phone ?Did you select unlock on the pro app?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darkproximity:
Not sure

I'm trying to verify that the unlock worked, i put in an AT&T GoPhone SIM card, i have never been prompted to enter any sim unlock code, like i had to do a year or so ago with my G1. I get a signal but it says SIM Card Crash. If i try to access it in settings i'm told to enter a sim card when the sim is in, and in correctly.

All the times i tried getting unlock codes it said no codes found, i'm on rooted 2.2. I did get the nv_data.bin changed to all 00's and confirmed it. Any help is appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] IoriYagamiOroche:

Thanks a lot for this unlock! Recently moved back from US to EU and brought my Captivate with me and am now using it on AH Mobile prepaid.

I rooted the phone and was able to get unlock codes with the (free) SGS Unlock Tool newest version. Sometimes I wasn't able to get them, but then after a few tries it suddenly worked for some reason, pretty weird. Firmware version is 2.1-update1 and it's the JH7 version... Thanks again!

nv_data.bin Error no more

Was getting the same nv_data.bin copy error while using the Generate_Code.bat. I had Vibrant with 2.1 update 1 so it didnt work. After rereading the post from the begininging it was no problem. It worked, I think people having that nv_data.bin are reading too fast like myself. Go back and do Steps 1-4 or pay the $5

I used HdX hex editor and changed 01 to 00 and copied the nv_data.bin back, checked with *#7465625# on the dialpad and sure enough its unlocked. Put my ATT chip in, now unlocked!!!! Big thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NWolf:
Stop saying it doesn't work, because more than 2500 people have used it successfully.

Unlocking does not work....

I have the same errors.

Trying to get the nv_data.bin manually does not work anymore because I guess samsung took away the permissions to the directory where the commands are located. I tried cp and no way.

I have the SFR 2.2 android I9000BUJP5 and Exchange e-mail is really a killer. It is soo slow that sometimes you press back several times because you think you did not touch it right and you end up on the home screen. :eek:

Sometimes I wonder how these bugs can pass to production. Someone has been hiding underneed his desk with a red head when these bugs pop up. Smells like Vista. Could someone send him to Microsoft? They have a need over there. :D

Support says: Oh, it is out of our competence and we know only users, no business users. :mad: The guys at SFR are really trying to open the business market I see.

Samsung on the other hand takes a while releasing 2.2.1 and apperently fired the guy in india that said Samsung is going to deliver 2.3 because nothing from there anymore.

And the unlock tools don't work so I can not go to 2.2.1 myself. Hate to be prisoner of Samsung and SFR. Damn incompetence....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Then sell the phone and buy a iphone.

You cant blame samsung for you are not able to unlock the phone.

And exchange problem is known on android phones, but there is a solution on that if you read here.

**DamianGTO Steam kernel. 346MB Ram. 300HZ **
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] t_a_x_2:
The solution is clear root your phone, install root explorer, install a hex editor, whit riit explorer go to efs filder and copy the nv file, paste it in your sd card, make a full backup of the efs folder in case somethig goes wrong

Open the hex editor and open the nv file you copied, look for the adress that is clearly pointed in the first post, READ, and then modify your file copy it inside tge efs folder erase the .md5 files. Reboot and wait then switch simcards and it will be unlocked.

At last READ The entire topuc, yoy will find the information there, do this at your own risk. Stop complaibing it doesn't work cayse it works just the old methods do not work anymore, if you want to take the easy way then buy the app and click on unlock it there's no way yiu can get the unlock codes anymore.

Just read the topic
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] howzit:
