I bought Captivate by paying all the equipment cost because AT&T told me that they will unlock it whenever I will have to go out of US. They did give me the code but it did not work. After 2 days when I called customer care and they said they dont have the code, but when I told them that I was given the unlock code 2 days back they asked me to spell out the code and then they said yes it is the code. I tried the code with the customer care but it did not work. Then I tried the method showed on youtube (generate_codes.bat, sgux.exe) but I get the

if you haven't flashed any ROMs, here is what you can do. go to market then search for SGS unlock, install and run it, it'll give you the code. thats how i unlocked mine. write the both codes down just in case.
No I have done nothing. It is just 6 weeks old phone. Same as what was delivered by AT&T. I did not play around with anything (like rooting, or installing beta Froyo)

try dial *2767*3855# the phone will hard reset, then try it again. i didnt have any problems unlocking my phone by using SGS unlock, have flashed some stock ROMs in the past few days and didnt have issue at all.
I think the JH7 update screwed up the easy retrieval of the unlock code.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789888
There's some info about a possible work around in there, but the guy who came up with it is apparently French and the translation to English is a little rough.
and to the OP ... my code was all numeric, so not sure why you would have had to 'spell' it to the AT&T rep.

if you have not done anything on it, i'm assuning that you haven't rooted it yet. if thats the case, get z4root from market and root your phone. then use SGS unlock to get code, choose root-code option.
It is possible that your nv_data.bin is encrypted - the only way to know is to root the phone, and view it with a hex editor. If it is encrypted, there is a web tool posted in the dev section (search 2.2 unlock) that will take the nv_data.bin and rebuild it with whatever unlock code you want.
Did you upgrade to Update1 from AT&T? I did software update from phone and it updated the version 2.1 Update1.
I have tried it after doing the upgrade and SGS Unlocker is not working.
What does hard-reset mean? Does it mean "Restor to Factory Defaults"? If yes, I can do it through standard menu entry in settings? Is this different from the method you gave? Will hard-reset reset the 10-maximum-attempts-to-unlock counter?
Thanks for replying!
No. I have not done any ROM flashing.

hard reset = master clear on odin. it wipes out everything on your phone even SDcard. it is different to the standard menu factory rest. and i'm not sure if it'll reset the 10 max counter though.

Since there are only 2 attempts left for me to unlock Captivate, what will happen if I exhaust all 10 tries? I read somewhere that it will hard-lock or freeze. Can this hard-lock be reversed? Is freeze unlock code used to reset the counter?

If it does hard lock? Then you would need to take it to an AT&T shop.
Have you tried CLShortFuse's one-click root program? I haven't tried the Captivate unlock feature - but my guess is it should give you the unlock code.
You can get it here.
I have the same software on my phone as the OP. I got the phone unlocked by using the root method of SGS. Now how did I root the phone? Someone recommended the one click root method found inside the One Click Lag Fix found in the market.
So, to recap. I got the One Click Lag Fix app. Used the one click root method. Got the phone rooted (it is a couple of steps actually - you still have to update on recovery). Now that you have superuser status, used the SGS app to search unlock code using the rooted phone method. It will show the unlock code (mine had 8 numbers). Hope this helps.
PS: For anyone reading this, AT&T DOES NOT have the unlock codes yet. Any rep that promises that you will be getting an unlock code soon is not really telling the whole truth. All it shows on their side is that unlock codes unavailable but it does not shows when they will become available. I think I read somewhere that there is a 10 months exclusivity on the Captivate (starting when it first came to AT&T, which is this last July).

One more time - this is from experience:
If the nv_data.bin file is encrypted and unlock code doesn't work or can't be found you need to rebuild the nv_data.bin file. Period.
There are instructions in the Dev section under a thread titled 2.2 unlock.
If you use all 10 attempts - the phone needs to be sent to a service center to do a low level restore - usually Samsung not AT&T.

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Yes, I unlocked my Phone on Android 2.1 EClair and it is still unlocked on 2.2.1 JPU. These are not iPhones, therefore they do not require a hack.. Hell samsung stores the unlock code on your phone!
SGS Unlocker says to me:
"Sorry no codes found
File not found: Do you have a Samsung Galaxy S?"

I think you need to have root for the unlock to work in Froyo. If possible dowgrade to Eclair, unlock and upgrade back to Froyo ... or get root in Froyo first.

sorry for my bad english.
I put in my other sim card and first it asks me for a pin. So I enter the pin and the it asks me for a "network- unlock code" (i think that's what it's called in english).
Is this a used phone you bought?
I think the original owner put a SIM lock code on it. Worst case, you bought a stolen phone.
If you can put the phone to download mode, why dont you try flashing a 2.1 ROM? See if it works.

I bought this phone with a contract from "3"-Austria. I'm the first owner.
So now I want to go to Poland to visit my family and put in another sim card.
The usual Pin it asks me I enter sucessfully and then it pops up this messege:
"Siim network unlock Pin".......
-->I think this is the code I need.
When i enter *#7465625#
it says: --> Network Lock [ON]

you should try what i suggested. the link i posted comes from the the app sgs unlock. try pressing the menu on sgs unlock app and choose generate NV_Data.bin it will lead you to the link i posted earlier.
the tutorial will replace the files that locks your phone. thats why you should make a back up on your /efs folder for warranty or emergency concern.
tried it successfully with 2.2

I suppose the process is the same - you have to "inject" a file into the phone thru Odin to be able to root it. IMEI is of no use (those of you, who know more, please feel free to correct me).

i thought as much, on the infuse you have to using some codes in terminal emulator and then examine a file that was generated by that process with a hex editor and look for an 8 digit code that appears more than once, so i had a feeling that the imei was useless just wanted to confirm my suspicions mostly

Vosetal said:
I don't know if it can work but found this on my disk.
This tutorial is only for my ex p990 but if you get desperate you may try it. I lose my imei trying to flash wrong way, so I found somewhere on the net this tutorial to get it back. If it can work with p880 you may change your imei to europe open (I don't know where to find such IMEI).
So if unlocking depends on imei maybe it work ( I personally doubt this).
1. Connect phone by USB
2. Enter 1809#*990# in dialer
3. Select Port Settings -> Select CP USB
4. Start hyperterminal, in COM settings select same port like in devide manager -> LGE mobile USB Serial Port, 115200
5. Type AT if response is not OK, change port number
6. Type at%imei, it should display your current IMEI
7. Type at%imei=x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x , where x,x,x... is your stolen or borrowed euro IMEI number
8. Reset
At step 2. you should probably enter p880 hidden menu code and step 7. you must find some eur imei.
Anyway I would rather wait couple days maybe someone finds other solution as I’m not sure if this method is safe for our device.
If you decide to risk and try this I wish you best luck.

Remember to save Your own IMEI because You MUST change the IMEI to Your own after unlocking bootloader! (ofc if IMEI will change the version)
@edit we have to enter our own hidden menu 3845#*880# and there is everything.

what is a hyperterminal ???
Do you know Putty? Get this little tool, switch to serial, write your COM-Port and the Baudrate mentioned in the steps.
Changing IMEI was not working for me. (Rooted 20A)
It comes back with an IMEI write error unfortunately. Everything else worked until the write.
OK

IMEI WRITE ERROR
Is it possible to downgrade to the 10h Euro Open version? Also advice wise, what is the best USB connection type to use for all this adb and fastboot work? Lots of options these days in 20A.
(tried with the KDZ hack but it doesn't want to complete the process as it complains if it cannot read a cell number or detect a network, then finally fails to decompress the image [which might be a file corruptions issue] I'll try with the SIM).
Imei write error -.-

Damn it... Even with root in can't work? if we can't change imei, what we can do hmm.. I need someone who has facebook and fast internet to downloading, pm me someone. Maybe we can find the solution.
I don't know what exactly happend, but I had the v10d firmware ( AHASBK ), and I flashed the v20a and I got:
P88020a-230-10
I've checked in the hidden menu and it says that my BL is locked
What should I do know? I'm currently downloading the necessary files to flash back to 4.0.3 and try an another kdz v20a.
Do you guys have any suggestions how to get the unlocked version ?
Btw thanks for your hard effort
234 here as well. UK t-mobile phone.
I tried to unlock it using Linux to avoid all the crap drivers, fastboot says it unlocked but the test shows it as locked again:
Code:
# fastboot oem unlock
...
(bootloader) Showing Options on Display.
(bootloader) Use device keys for selection.
(bootloader) Bootloader is unlocked now.
I'll try again with some battery later

I pass from a Brazilian v10a to v20a and got euro-xxx...
I think the previous version is not importante.
If there is an issue is something else.
thankyou il try that,i remember now that mine was euro open when i first changed from v10F to v10H so maybe its versions before v10h(before they knew or making jb for 4x) so any protection may of only been added to v10h

Yes it is normal that the software said that, because the Product Code does not exist on the Nokia servers because you have a nokia development/engineering. And such as your nokia is a engineering/development phone (even the firmware is not available on the Nokia servers), you can not flash.
See http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f609/how-connect-lumia-820-under-winxp-1745996/
This is developement phone. You cannot flash this with regular non development firmware.
