[Q] Captivate unlock with ICS, need advice!

So I got the unlock code from ATT for my captivate but unlock doesnt work on my rooted ICS phone. Do I need to do hard reset, unlock, root, then ICS again? Thank ahead for the help on how to unlock my phone.

See if your phone is showing a generic IMEI by pressing *#06# on the dialpad or checking in settings...

^That. ICSSGS has had a nasty habit of messing with IMEI on 4.x

I checked the IMEI using *#06# and get the right IMEI for the phone. I am putting in another carriers sim and entering the unlock code and getting network unlock unsuccessful.

Back up your efs folder and unlock it with the app? Lol
Sent from my ICS powered Captivate using Tapatalk

So ya think ics changed my phone's product code? Has anyone else had that problem I wonder. Anyway, if i back up efs isnt that changed with the ics or do I need to just go back to factory and redo everything?

It shouldn't have. You can be save and back up each version (assuming it actually changes). Its not uncommon roms changing product code, it is uncommon messing with IMEI (but it happens).

Using a file explorer, look at the time/date stamps for the files in EFS folder... I have forgotten what the date will show for an untouched file in there, thinks is Dec 2009, so see if the time/date stamps are recent from flashing...

Forgot to say, be sure to know something has been modified before you going through all that... you have the correct IMEI, so the code should have worked...

my baseband is I9000XXJVT on version 4.0.3 Kernel 3.0.8, is this baseband correct?

That's your modem version, which won't affect the unlock process... In fact, most run an i9000 modem... what does your phone say for model number in about phone? Mine shows SGH-I897

Model number Samsung Captivate, just got off the phone with ATT and Samsung, ATT said software wouldnt have an issue with it not unlocking and Samsung couldnt help at all. ATT tried to say I tried to unlock it 5 times with wrong code and it will be locked forever, though I know I never tried unlocking without correct code

Well they're gonna say anything before IDK... did they at least confirm the code for you?

Yeah they confirmed the code, suppose I will have to stick with it locked. I wanted to sell it unlocked and get a new phone but oh well. If you hear anything else let me know, and thanks again for the advice

You can unlock it with the app... Galaxy S Unlock from the market... back up the EFS first, and also the unlocker will do so as well...

the app says sorry, no codes found...unknown error

I've successfully unlocked captivate several times using SuperOneClick. However with it being ics I don't know if it will work the same. But you can give it a shot.

Didn't actually know that program would do that until now... so thanks...

I did *#7465625# to see if it worked, didnt do anything. But steps went fine 1-3 did the reboot like it was supposed to after step 2. Don't have another sim to try thats why i did the 7465...

Nokia Icon (929) stuck at red Nokia screen can't flash

I was using the 10 preview, great stuff, but I had a problem with my LTE connection and that was more important so I decided to downgrade back to 8.1. I guess my first mistake was trusting microsft to do this properly, i used the windows phone recovery tool. It started the process then came up with a big FAILED message. Now i can't get past the red Nokia screen.
i've tried the lumia recovery tool, using the phone will not boot option, it detects the phone (some times) says that it's a Nokia Icon RM-927 downloads the correct firmware and then the phone immediatly reboots and the reocvery software says that the firmware is not for the device. "0xFA001304: Platform ID check fails. Reason(s): The FFU file is not meant for this product. The platform ID of image does not match with platform ID of the device."
over the last day in all the research and digging i have confirmed that the product code and subsequent downloaded firmware is correct, i've tried using the Phone support tool and got the same message, i've even tried command line using thor2.exe. thor2 had a bypass product code check but apparently that requires some sort of authentication?? i'm stuck i need this phone. it's not life or death but any help is appreciated
also holding down the power and volume down key at the same time does not make the phone vibrate.
I've come to the conclusion that I need to reflash what i'm guessing is the boot loader, but i can't find the hex or the bin file anywhere. apparently either there aren't a lot of icons out there or there aren't a lot of people bricking their icons.
if anyone has a working icon could they please get me the bin file i need?

Ops im sorry i think you have tried this already
Ping that OP maybe he can help you

unfortunately i have tried that. Problem is, his downloads as well as all the other possible downloads i have found include just about all devices except mine. There are a few posters in that thread that are also asking for the icon hex files I figured I'd start a new thread because I couldn't find one and I think the posts in that other thread are probably buried or glazed over by people who don't also have that issue.

bump. still looking for an answer

@tlman12, have you tried to download firmware for your handset with "NaviFirmPlus" and flash it by using Nokia care suite?
P.S. I don't have RM-927 but just checked NaviFirm - they have 3 versions of the bits for your Icon (3 for black and 3 for white, don't know what the difference).

I was gonna say yes I did but when I tried to dl the firmware I only had 2 options 1 for white and 1 for black. I double checked Microsoft's site and it was the current fw. I'm curious what the other 2 options for the colors were because maybe an older version would work? Maybe the broke the current version? How did you see 6 options?

@tlman12, six versions I meant, it was about older firmware. So NaviFirmPlus shows 3 versions for your handset, each version has 2 options: for black and white handsets.
I can recommend you to buy/donate NaviFirmPlus guys and try to flash older fw with Nokia tools (not MS). Sorry but that's all I can help you...

Yeah I did use navifirm to download it but I only saw 1 version per color. Do you have to pay for it to see older versions? Or did I do something wrong? I have no problem making the donation if it fixes my phone but I've gone about trying to obtain the fw every way I can think of. Problem is cause this was a Verizon exclusive there's not a whole lot of info out there for it in this respect

I donated to NaviFirm and logged in, it is different, the free or canceled login version doesn't auto load the list on the left.
unfortunately none of the other version worked either, same message of invalid product ID.
No other ideas?

Manufacturer warranty service/exchange?

too far out of warranty, id have to pay out of pocket. It's just hard for me to justify paying exorbitant amounts to repair something I have the ability to do it myself. although at this point I think I just don't have the tools. I wish phone manufactures didn't lock down their phones so much. I mean we own the phone we should be able to do whatever we want with them right?

Bumping old post with new info, Turns out the reason I can't flash my device (Yes I'm still having problems gave up on it for a while) is because my platform ID was mangled at some point during the upgrade or down grade. It's currently Nokia.MSM8974..2.2 which is why I can't get any FFU files to flash to the device.
Is there any info on how to manipulate either the platform ID on the device or the platform ID the FFU is looking for? or how to bypass that check all together? I know there's a switch in thor2 but it says it requires authentication, is there a way to bypass that?

possible sim unlock, with help from users...

ok im very confident i can sim unlock this phone...as im interested in getting a h811 bc of unlocked bl but have at&t service, i need a user with a sim-locked phone and a user with a sim-unlockedto get me a backup of their efs/modem using qpts i linked the program below,
first put ur phone into diag mode (ihidden menu (277634#*# ) scroll to bottom to Port Test check (very last thing on T-MO version), on the next screen touch to enable it) in device manager check under which port it is, possibly port 4 or 5
now open QPTS (qpts configurations) then click "add new port" bottem right cornor, uncheck "show serial and usbdiagnostic ports only" then select ur phone and then press ok.
then on the top go to the "start clients" tab, select software download, the go to the backup tab (make sure ur connect to the correct port, then pick ur backup path and press start. rename the file to unlock or lock and then if possible upload and send me the link, (do this via private message).... thanks.....if i find something ill upload a tutorial for all to use....
qpts https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995310392
EDIT: even better would be if someone does the backup before a temporary sim unlock and then after then temporary unlock and send me the files to analyze
This is kinda what i want to do... Is get our nv of a locked and unlocked and compare em to find the difference http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-one-m9/general/nv-unlock-sim-t3314755

nope all it does is backup ur efs partiton, what my plan is to compare both files and see which hex changes from unlocked to locked, backup first and then try and do a temp sim unlock using the tmobile app and then if it works backup it again. thank you

Somebody unlocked sim please help. Been thinking of switching back to Cricket after T-Mobile increased my monthly bill to around $200 for 2 phones and a tablet. I can save over $100 a month switching.

First thanks, is your phone eligible to be temp unlocked? I think getting me a backup before unlock and then after a temp would work best.

Hello, i have bought LG G4 H811 on ebay and now it is Locked , I made backup NV files, full EFS Partition with free NV-items_reader_writer software. If you want i can send it at your mail (give me mail).
Now I am searching for unlocked H811 or H815 EFS Partition backup to restore it on my phone and my phone will be activated i think. After that i will return my original IMEI and that's all. If my hope is wrong please post here.
In case of H815, first time i will flash H815 ROM which made MR @MicroMod777 and than restore H815 EFS. I think it will work.
Please help me somebody give me unlocked h811 or H815efs backup...

I have already changed IMEI. I set, worked, unblocked phones IMEI but Device Unlock app guess that something is wrong and do not worked, when i set original IMEI then it gave me Unlock Permanent button.
I think that it is possible flashing, Unlocked H811's EFS Partitions backup img file, from recovery, or from rooted android, made from wanam EFS IMEI Backup (or may be other soft makes better EFS backup for flashing) as i know It makes full EFS backup in img format. After recovery, i'll set my original IMEI.
EFS Restore also possible by NV-items_reader_writer tool, QPST or other like this software. I think it will also work... I can in backup Unlocked NV file first time change IMEI and set my original IMEI and then restore it at my phone....
Once i changed it, I know where and how it changes, second time of course will no problem change . What do you think?

Yes i thought about IMEI and MEID matching, but i was not able to change MEID as Successfully as IMEI
Now I think not Unlock this phone with Unlock Device app. If i copy already unlocked phones EFS partition and compare to my EFS there must be different Hex codes and I think write only different HEX NV tables with QPST or other like program, or full EFS partition from recovery or Wanam's EFS IMEI Backup or something like this. After this phone will be unlocked and I will return my IMEI and that's all. Sorry for my bad English...

Finally did backup, but my temp unlock is expiring in a day or two. After it expires, I'll check for comparison's of the files to see if I can find any differences. Maybe its as easy as editing the .qcn backup.

MORE HELP:
How to Flash Samsung Firmware
Using odin: http://rootmygalaxy.net/how-to-install-a-stock-firmware-using-odin/
Using z3x: Choose model then go to Flash tab and pretty much the same thing as odin
Troubleshooting:
Binary error while inserting firmware into odin:
-> Rename firmware from tar.md5 to tar only if you are sure you downloaded the right firmware for your device
The system cannot find the path specified in z3x:
-> Manually create the path that z3x is trying to reach (this happens when cracked, happened with me at least)
... Sorry I don't have more in mind at the moment

Thanks worked fine for me.
Question though, I won't lose unlock status if I change the firmware,kernel or a rom correct?

i have been search by google, almost all the download link are fake or not working
can you provide a true crack version for me ?

Do you think it could work on a G901F?

Is anyone getting to the actual z3x samsung pro ? Is it supposed to be in .rar formant? I think I have v29.5, however, it does not have this "Crack" thingie
Any help would be great, or am I wasting time....

THW same Herr, i buy the phone @eBay Abd the man make give no Informatione about the net-lock of t-mobile USA(gt-900t), i life in germany after this i pay 20€ for unlock over a Internet company, and they do nothing for me. You are my last hope, help me please

I bought a g900p (sprint) s5 had a bill attached to it that wasn't mine and i wasn't paying it . I spent latterly a week looking for a sim unlock for this phone with absolutely zero success. I did find a guy "idoneapps" i think was the name . That claimed to be able to unlock it ...i didn't want to pay some random fella money so i kept looking for another week. Still nothing so i payed this guy i think 25 bucks or something like that got his app from his site . literally within 2 minutes i had a unlocked sprint s5 running on straight talk (att network). I have never had a issue. I was sketched bout using my bank card to pay but i have never had any issues with that either ...for all extensive purposes this dude is/was legit and saved me from having a paperweight .... Anyone looking to sim unlock their s5 i would recommend a quick google search for this fella ....

Question though, I won't lose unlock status if I change the firmware,kernel or a rom correct?

it will be locked again probably if you do a wipe or reinstall the firmware. BUT if you installed custom roms, it is probably unlocked already (roms don't have any carrier lock i think)

Do you think it could work on a G901F?

Click to collapse
it should work on all varients of s5 as long as you use their firmware (if you have 901F, download the 901F firmware)
but note that it's not tested... if you can, test it and please give a feedback

Just tested this z3x tool and it works on all versions of android up to 6+ without needing to downgrade, had to make sure that I downloaded the z3x samsung driver pack v1.7 with the relevant modem drivers etc.
Still have to type in *#0808# to enable the dm etc but otherwise it unlocks without any further issues.
All stock, no root, no Odin.

Working method...
Device not locked again after update over Wi-Fi 100%.
I upload working Z3X 28.2 version (Load as administrator Load_SamsugToolPRO.exe. after popup registration window, need press try):

Says Program damaged

Turn off anrivirus, before unrar program...

I found this more straightforward (although root is required)

Thank you @NHK I was able to successfully unlock my SM-G900W8.
Now I know this has been answered but i just want to confirm..
If I install a custom rom, it won't be locked again? Just checking before I install a rom and it is locked, making me have to do this again
EDIT; answered my own question, it's okay!!

Thanks OP
I can not select com as it is empty, but i can select the adb port. . I have installed samsung driver pack 1.7. I can backup my efs and so on but to unlock it says port not selected. The com is blank and there is nothing I can select. Any solution is highly appreciated.

How To Guide Unlock Bootloader on Xiaomi 11T Pro (All Variants)

Perform this at your own risk. You will LOSE all data on your phone.
( I'm not responsible for any damage to your device )
This guide will walk you through the process of Unlocking your bootloader on Xiaomi 11T Pro.
Prerequisites:
Backup all the files on phone as we will be resetting the phone to unlock the bootloader.
Install ADB and Fastboot Drivers from here (Select the latest) -> https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool )
Install drivers for Xiaomi 11T Pro -> https://droidfilehost.com/download/download-xiaomi-usb-driver-for-windows
Download MiUnlock Tool -> https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
Unlocking the Bootloader:
Go to "About Phone" in Settings and keep tapping on MIUI Version until it shows "You are now a developer"
Navigate to "Additional Settings>Developer Options" and enable "OEM unlocking"
Make sure you have a Mi account and your sim is inserted. In Developer options, select "Add account". Now your Mi Account is linked with your Device.
On your PC, open MiUnlock Tool and login with the same Mi account you have used login to the tool.
Power off your phone and boot into fastboot mode by long pressing the power button + volume down button.
Connect your phone to your PC and click refresh in the MiUnlock Tool
After clicking unlock, it will give your a wait duration. (Generally 168 hours, there's no known way to bypass this wait time) You can continue to use your phone meanwhile, but remember to backup before clicking unlock after your wait time is complete.
After your wait is complete, click unlock and then click reboot. Your phone will now reset and boot up.
Enjoy.

Is this true about warranty? I think that i read that unlocking bootloader is not reason to void it

I have attempted to unlock bootloader, it ask for 336h wait. Did they changed waiting time from one week to two? Is it because device is quite new and they don't want them to be unlocked?

depends on the Mi Account, is it a new sim or an old one? I checked and added a new one to the device and it gave 2 weeks of wait time. I just added my old one and it gave 7.4 days of waiting.

Unlocking the boot loader shouldn't Void the warranty, installing a custom ROM will.

does systemless root also void the warranty?
I just need the adblocking stuff only

You don't have to root to have adblocking. Use private dns.

Use the "driver_install" to fix the issue. Connect the phone both normally and in Fastboot mode. It automatically installs the drivers.

Hi guys, same problem here, Mi Unlock won't recognise my phone. Actually when I connect the phone to the PC in fastboot mode, nothing happens... I've tried to use the solution above but it doesn't change anything. When I click on the "driver_install" nothing happen neither.
On the Mi Unlock software when I go to the parameters and that I check driver installation, it says it can't find "miusbdriver.exe" (something like that). I took the miusbdriver.exe from the other version folder (from the message of arash74 above) but it's a loop : It finds the file but it asks me to reconnect my phone and so on.
Any help would be nice ! Thanks

Did you try the 64bit version (driver_install_64) too?
It's worth a try to disable driver signature verification as well.

Thank you Arash for your answer mate, I just did it with this tutorial :
I was stuck at this step actually, I didn't understand that by unpluging and pluging back my phone it would install the drivers !
So now I guess I have to wait 161 hours to continue my unlocking thing but I'm glad I could fix that problem of undected phone, and if it helps someone else here it's also a good thing then.

So guys i solve the problem it will sound a liitle strange but i pot here maybe someone will face this in the future.
My problem was not the driver because fastboot shows my device and any flash tool no so and i tryed many many version nothing but at least i accidentally extracted the tool on the desktop and i didnt move in to a folder so and open and boom the villi was here!
I tryed move in a folder and not worked i think the problem was permission maybe i didn't know i am happy cuz it's fixed now so i have to wait 360 hours until unlock!

I have a question about warranty. If I will install my original ROM back would it make warranty valid again ?

If you unlock bootloader, no your warranty will not be void. However if you show up to a Mi service center with an unlocked bootloader and a custom ROM, they will consider your warranty voided.

So there is no way to bring phone back to factory state.
PS.
Is there any other way to turn on call recording ?
