Hey guys. I bought a Captivate and want to use it Tmo. Apparently its one of the ones that doesn't have the codes built in. I've tried 3 different one click methods and I just get errors.
Anyone know a workaround?

To unlock, so far nothing has worked for me.
This is driving me crazy. I have an I9000M bought last month. I couldn't unlock JK4. I tried flashing back to JH2 but that won't unlock either.
My previous I9000M on JH2 unlocked without a problem. I guess that Samsung no longer includes the unlock codes on the phones anymore.
Does anyone have any idea how to unlock this damn thing?!!
Unlocked
I finally paid $35 to get it unlocked: www.freeyourcellph.weebly.com
mine is locked too
but the site that u post...
the guy told me that i have to go to him
but he is not in vancouver ....
Download the application called SGS Unlock from the market.
Tested and worked on 2.1. I am too scared to upgrade it yet lol
Steps:
1) Download and install application
2) Open application.
3) Click ok or something similar to go next page
4) Press the Menu button, the button on the right side of the hard button
5) Click Root or no Root Gen Code, depending if your phone is rooted or not.
6) Wala, codes should be found!
so .... i guess noone is able to unlock 2.2 then......
stupid bell..... why they locked the phone in the first place
anyway i can flash it back to 2.1
so i can unlock it again ??

Did u tried the application that I suggested? It should work on 2.2 probably. Try it out and see first before flashing back.
not working
where can i download the right 2.1 files??
Try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885228
no link for the file
You should ask it at the other thread.
I never tried that myself yet, so not sure how to go about it either.

I NEED THIS UNLOCKED :'(
Hi all
I just received my phone from Samsung service center after it died few weeks ago; however, I got the phone with froyo JL2 installed, and the phone is locked again to Bell.
My question is how to unlock it? as I tried old methods but they doesn't work!! Or is their any way to go back to 2.1 jh2
thank you for your help in advance
Same thing happened to me. I just got mine back and can't unlock either. Any help would be appreciated!
Just flash 2.1 and use the old method!
Or you can use the hex edit way to unlock it.
Same....for me...
Just got mine unlocked. Root using Superoneclick v155 then after that install sgsunlock pro from marketplace and unlock. Worked like a charm
Now lets hope this one doesn't die in a day :S

So even with JL2, the SGSunlock Pro worked, after rooting of course?
Sweet! i will have to do this when i get home!
Worked and using it on Rogers with JL2
Great! Now that i know I can unlock it, "safely" hopefully, i will shell out the $5 to do it!
ok, this looks somewhat promising? Im new to this fourm, I've got my GT-19000M Samsung Galaxy using Bell Mobility. I am dying to root this thing and patch Lagfix on it for months now. Im currently running Froyo 2.2 Stock. I have tried nothing, and willing to do something when i find the perfect information so i DONT brick my phone. Could ANYONE help a brother out?
What is the difference between the PRO and the free one? I tried the free one and it did not work.
EDIT: I just went ahead and purchased the PRO and it worked.
Running Bell JL2
Who else?
Anyone else try this easy-peasy method and have it work successfully to get them off Bell and onto anther? I'd be curious what other carriers the i9000m on JL2 unlocked with this method to work with.
I'll be getting my replacement any day now and may root/unlock before putting it up on Kajiji.

Hey... I've got a Captivate with Cog3.04 and I'm having GPS trouble (go figure). I've looked through the forums and I see lots of things to try, but for some reason I can't even get the GPS Test to come up (whether I use SGS toolbox or the dialed service codes). Anyone know why this might be?
Also: Can I flash just one .bin file (modem.bin) using Odin? Can someone point me to the simplest directions to do so?
thanks

Hello
I am having the Unlocked SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE (SGH-I896) of Canada Rogers Network. I am using the same from last December, 2010. As now the firmware of my phone is crashed and it is not even going in DOWNLOAD MODE or in RECOVERY MODE, by which I can repair my crashed firmware and also now my phone is not working.
My request to you is that can you tell me that if you can FLASH my SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE (SGH-I896) with the ROM of the mobile if you have with you, otherwise I will provide the Original Firmware Backup which I am having with me. So please tell me whether you can upgrade the firm with the ROM you have or mine.
Please help me to solve my number, as I am from India, now I cannot send my mobile to Canada back.
Thanks
I'm sorry I know english isn't your native language but could you try and reword your question?
And what do you mean by the phone isn't working? What exactly does it do?

Eh thanks Studa, I came across his question earlier and didn't understand it either.
@ OP - if you could rephrase that, we'd be more than happy to help you
Hmmm...this is a tough one, and I work with offshore resources on a daily basis. My guess is he unlocked his cappy, took it to India, tried to flash something, bricked it, and needs help restoring a rom file he has on his phone, or a rom from here.

So far, it seems to me like he needs a way to flash Eclair or Froyo. If so here's the answer: Odin3 one click.

So can you help me in solving my SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE problem. and I have the unlock code with me, so that I can unlock my mobile again easily without any problem.
I will wait for your reply.

In the process of trying to flash a ROM to my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate I897, I ended up Bricking it. After searching XDA-Developers.com I came across a post about a One Click UnBrick Tool that was made by the XDA-Developer.com User AdamOutler. I'm assuming that I didn't do something correctly while trying to UnBrick my phone. My Question is, has anyone EVER seen this screen, and if so, what is it? And How does one fix it?
