I have gone through the thread, so excuse me if I missed this, but I won a Telus Fascinate, and I am with Bell. Will this work on the Telus model? Or has anyone even tried? My SGS on Bell is away for repair, estimated time for return is 3 months. I want to unlock the new phone and just wonder if this method will work, or if that Nwolf app will work better since it's newer?

Thanks all!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darkamikaze:
I've been reading around.. and that's not entirely the case.. X_x.. Correct me if I'm wrong.. but the regular i9000 does not have the 850 baseband.. therefore I will have limited 3G with ATT.

Although, the i9000T and the i9000M has the 850 baseband.. correct?

Hey,

I had the same problem and used the "generate nv_data.bin" method to unlock the sgs. You can access that through the menu button while in the sgs unlocker app.

Good luck.

Hey guys,

I just got my Vibrant in the mail a few hours ago. I rooted it and flashed it with the Vibrant AOSP ish JK2 1.1 Official FROYO rom. It works and everything is fine, I tried the unlock app from the marketplace, and it doesn't work, and then I tried the mac unlock app and it gave me this:

Galaxy S Unlocker

============

The Code is below. The Mac version of The Galaxy S Unlocker was made by NBS11. This method of obtaining the unlock code was found by dagentooboy. Also thanks to bowsa2511 for helping make the script. Donate links for them can be found on the XDA forum link below. Please remember to donate to me like this program at http://bit.ly/cplmLk (paypal only).

strings: can't open file: ./nv_data.bin (No such file or directory)

strings: can't open file: ./nv_data.bin (No such file or directory)

Your code is:

Guide to entering code:

1. Power off phone, 2. Put in other carriers SIM, 3. Turn on phone, 4. Enter unlock code. BE EXTRA CAREFUL; ENTERING IT WRONG ONCE WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE, 5. You are now unlocked. Congratulations.

If you need any help go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=761751

Also, if the unlock code doesn't work and it freezes your SIM, enter this code:

rm: ./nv_data.bin: No such file or directory

logout

What is going wrong here?

Help appreciated.

I unlocked my phone and it worked fine I used to used multiple sims and the Lock status was off this was all on Eclair.

Yetserday I updated to Froyo via Kies and the unlock tool no longer shows a code not only that the update has reapplied the lock status.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Emexrulsier:
PAH PAH PAH

I had used the network unlock and it worked fine for me at the time I was on eclair.

Yesterday I updated to froyo (O2 handset) and network lock status is now back on and the unlock tool no longer finds any codes. I had wrote the codes down aswell but it doesn't even accept them :(

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] groggycl:
Hi, I am getting my Vibrant tomorrow, and since some people are having trouble with froyo (updating gets their phone locked again) I won't be updating it for some time... anyways, just one question, with a new vibrant, using ecclair android 2.1, is the "Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool" all I need now to unlock my phone now (instead of downloading the zip, connecting the phone to the pc, running the script to get the network code, etc etc..)?

I know it says that app is working on froyo, but I haven't considered rooting my phone yet, so I am staying with ecclair at the moment.

Thanks! and great work...

Hello everybody!

I have a Galaxy S Vibrant from Bell since 2 months now and I unlocked the unit because I'm with Rogers.

Yesterday I wanted to try to lock it back with Bell and I was able to do it.

Only the sim card with Bell of my GF worked.

Then I decided to lock it with Rogers and it seems to work.

Today I took the decision to send it back to Samsung/Bell but I cant seems to lock it back again. Whatever I do, to whatever service provider I lock it to, it stays unlock to any sim cards (Bell or Rogers). Even if it says Lock Sucessful.

Would it be possible that I have unlocked it too much?

I even tried to format to factory settings and try to lock it back again, no success.

Any clues?

I really need to send it back because of a battery issue.

Thanks guys

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brynm:
I was having the same problem, then noticed you need to have usb debugging turned on. Go through Settings > Applications > Development then check usb debugging.

I just went through this and tried the no sim method, when I entered the code 22610 it said lock successful. I turned my phone off, reinserted my Sasktel sim and my phone booted right up and works fine. I never had to re-enter my nck and it still shows that network lock is on when I check it.

Any ideas?

Edit: I should also mention that the Sasktel phones are the GT-i9000m version same as Bell.

I want to flash the leaked Bell Froyo, does the phone need to be unlocked to do this?
