[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captivatesuperuser:
Once the captivate is unlocked, it stays unlocked. Im not sure about factory reset but nothing else will remove the unlock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
No one knows what the next version will do - but you should know this. The unlock happened because Samsung stored the code in a file. It looks like new firmwares fixed this, so if the unlock is removed, it may not be so easy to get.

The app just read a file and got the code. You didn't need the app, you could have opened the file and read the read the code. IF the unlock is removed and the original code doesn't work, it will be a while before someone finds a new way to unlock.

Thx, I can wait till I see a new post about what gonna happe.:cool:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabby131:
captivate is coming here in Canada but I cant wait to grab the captivate so i get the AT&T version. to my surprise, i got it factory unlocked (the online store where i purchase GSM phones factory unlocked). It has all AT&T bloatwares and logo but I punch in and use my non-AT&T sim on the captivate.

i removed the bloatware apps. now the problem is I cannot update OTA, coz AT&T server for update is the captivate recognizes.

this would be a regret on being impatient on grabbing the captivate that will be launched here, but i learned a lot of tricks and hacks from this forum. I believe that developers will come up with a ROM flash technique to update the captivate even not OTA. (like the N900 re-flash).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambler358:
I was told by an AT&T rep (so take it for what it's worth) that for any phone except the iPhone, you could simply call AT&T and ask for an unlock code. Don't if this would work on rooted phones or not though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabby131:
hmm...so that is for a SIM unlock right? To be able to use the device with non-at&t sim....but not to get rid of the whole at&t thing from the device.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pobinghun:
I ask att rep for the code. They told me based on their agreement with samsung it is only possible to get this code after two years use of the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambler358:
Well that's a bunch of BS. The rep I spoke to said you needed to call in for it, so I don't know if that makes a difference. And he seemed to be one of the senior guys there. The reason I even asked the rep about this is because my wife goes to the Philippines a lot, and it's cheaper to buy a local SIM card there than use AT&T's coverage.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basily:
Hey guys! The unlock for this phone has been out for weeks. Easy to do yourself. Just search the forums and google...

Hello. I'm on Cognition (SREV2) and the SGS Unlock app isn't working. Is this because of the newer firmware?

Remove HTC Sync.

You need it's drivers, but if you leave it installed it might get in the way.

Uninstalling will not remove the required drivers.

Hi,

A noobie questions.

I have Froyo 2.2 with HBoot .92 and i want to use unrEVOked tool, but before that my sd card has to be empty, or have to format it?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alsajosora:
Ok, so I have a Win7 x64 box, and have all the corect drivers loaded for my phone.

If I run unrEVOked I get the above error message......So my next step was to run in Virtual XP mode to see if maybe it was a X64 issue....Still the same error.....

Last night I reset my phone to factory defaults and re-ran unrEVOked.....No joy....So after trawling through more forum posts I came across how to run unrEVOked from an Ubuntu live cd.....So I downloaded and burnt off the live cd, ran the script as specified (really neat and easy to use BTW) to get the latest version of unrEVOked and run it.......Guess what......Still the SAME error message......Methinks maybe something screwy with the O2 version of Froyo?

Anyone else had the same issue? Are running an O2 rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ..alee:
I am stuck with the same error since the beginning. No success, with all the possible tries. I am not sure what version my FroYo is .. O2 or something but its EU region specific.

Guys,

I was having loads of issues trying to flash a different recovery image to my already rooted Desire using unrevoked 3.21 - same misc errors etc.

In the end, tried using unrevoked 3.1 I had orginally rooted the desire with and it worked first time...

Go Google and find that old version!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ..alee:
well the problem with me was that I had HBoot 0.93 version and i didn't notice it. Unrevoked was not working fine with this version of HBoot. So i downgraded from 0.93 to 0.83 and unrevoked worked like a charm.

Now i am running OpenDesire with Clockworkmod and HBoot 0.83
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zHk3R:
I haz HBOOT 0.93 (:

I rooted my phone 30 minutes after unboxing it, with an unrEVOked test-build, prior to the 3 being released.

Weird.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temiatwork:
Mine was rooted last October 2010 but after the OTA update 2.29.405.2 from 2.10.405.2, the same error appears now when i tried to root my desire with unrevoked 3.22 / hboot0.93.

So i guess we have to wait until the guys from unrevoked fix it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ..alee:
I was able to root my device with the specs you told. All you have to do is to "downgrade" your hboot from 0.93 to 0.85/0.87 or whatever the usual number is. and unrEVOked will work.

So I made these for my tattoo because I didn't really like the look of the slider tabs, and thought I'd share them. I changed the unlock icon to blue and the silent to red and vibrate I left orange. I think it looks okay, but would probably be better with new buttons altogether. Here is a screenshot so you can see for yourself what it looks like:

To install you'll have to pull your current framework-res.apk, rewrite the files in drawable mdpi then push it back.

Is it possible that u help us rewrite the file, and zip it up? so that all we do is just push it in, thanks.

Is it possible to edit the services.odex file and then put then reodex it and put it back on the phone or do I just need to deodex it into services.jar then put services.jar back on the phone.

Also I'm having problems deodexing services.jar as it seems to have a ton of dependencies every time I find one odex it's dependant on another pops up.

All this just for white text in a black notification bar. It's a lot of hassle (but lots of fun too)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyeofthetiger:
I am sending my phone back to htc to replace under warranty. I need to reset the phone back to manufacturers warranty. Now the strange thing is whenever I previously used to flash a ROM when I connected to USB I always used to get an option where the message would say that if I clicked on the power button a manufacturers settings reset would occur and if I pressed volume down then a standard flah would occur. This message doesnt happen anymore and I go straight to a new flash.

So how do I hard reset to manufacturers settings OR how do I remove HSPL?

Any help appreciated as I need to post my phone by friday. Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
If you have flashed a different rom, teh manufacturers settings are gone.

You need to flash teh stock rom for your phone. So if you got it with o2 branding, get teh o2 rom, if its from vodaphone, get teh voda rom, if it was unbranded, look for HTC rom.

Go to teh hd2 rom development section, find the thread 'leo official roms', click teh first link in the first post and it will take you to a repository of loads of stock roms.

When you have your rom, first run hspl2, and choose 1.42.0000 (to remove hspl) and then flash your rom over USB.

Thats it, all stock.

I am fianally considering rooting my vibrant, and possibly trying some of the roms out there. I understand that it is wise to do a nandroid backup, and would also plan on using Titanium Backup to save all my user loaded apps. My question is what do you stand to lose by flashing a rom? Will Titanium Backup save my gmail settings, or does it only save app info for the user installed apps? Also, is it full proof, that I wont end up needing to pay for my paid apps a second time?? Will all my contacts be saved, and ready to use, or will I be looking at an hour to set this stuff up again?? What is truly involved?

I have searched extensively and have not found a solution to my problem.

Problem: cannot sign in to google account (cannot find a secure connection)

I can flash a 2.1 rom and sign in / download without any problems.

When 2.2 first came out (leak) I could use market but at some point it stopped working.

I have tried every fix on the net. Wiped everything tried every 2.2 rom including early leaks that used to work. wifi does nothing. I can log in to you tube which then lets me use gmail however market will hang instantly and give an error.

I would like to install the 2.1 version of market on a 2.2 rom but I have no idea how to do that. simply replacing vendor.apk does nothing except remove market completely. If this is possible somehow I am willing to try... just need some direction. If it is not possible thats fine too I just would like to know so i can stop trying. lol.
