unlocked code for froyo 2.2
Any one knows how to unlocked code for froyo, or after flashed back to 2.1. Because I tried all the method and unlocked code all the market but it's not working.

after u update it to jh7, i guess the nvdata.bin gets deleted or shows some buffer values.....i wrote down my unlock code just after i got my cappy in stock condition....after froyo( cognition2.2beta7 ) also im unable to find the unlock code....
but mines unlocked anwyays.....

i think my captivate got an automatic update.
How do i know the nvdata.bin file has been deleted?
is there anyway to unlock if the nvdata.bin has been deleted ?
FYI I ran the market app from " DaGentooBoy" which also not able to find the unlock code. am I screwed ?

Why do you want to unlock?
Are you planning on switching to another GSM carrier or going overseas?
Are you planning on selling the phone on eBay and buying a different phone?
Or do you only want to unlock for the sake of saying you have an unlocked phone?
If you answered no, no, and yes (in that order) to any of those questions then you don't NEED to unlock.
Also, it was documented that upgrading to JH7 or JI6 deleted the nvdata.bin file from your phone, thus eliminating the possibilty of unlocking after you upgraded. You should have done it straight from JF6 when you got the phone, and backed up that file for future use. It pays to read and research.

this phone was giving to me by someone who left the country, and i'm on tmobile so i have no use for a att locked phone

boi.. i guess ur screwed then.. well there was a method to reset the unlock code to anything u want but u gotta search for it yourself in the forums here......dunno if that worked out for anyone....
also try searching the forums.....the nvdata.bin file i guess doesnt get deleted but the place where the unlock code is written gets filled with buffer values...
again, i guess i read somewhere there is a method to get past that but even that only worked out for some....
i could search the forums for ya, but im in office an cant do so now....
just keep on searching in the forums...ull surely find the solution....

also, this is what ive read only in some forums that people pay around $25 to get their cell phones unlocked by giving their IMEI number or sumthng of that sort......am not from the USA so really have no clue about it.....

One way the unlock code could have gone missing is if the owner of the Captivate flashed to the leaked Froyo build and back to stock. As it is a leaked build it couldn't have been automatic afaik.

mine is a JH7 phone and i got the unlock code =D. at first i couldnt find it by the PC method. it wouldnt work. it gave me an error sagint the nv_file.bin wasnt there. and i searched for it and it wasnt. i thought i was screwed so factory reset,then i rooted my phone, enable sideloading using unleash the beast. After all that, i went to android market and search for "froyo" and supprisingly i found a unlocker that worked. (looks like a padlock perhaps 5th in the list) i installed it and ran it, IT FOUND IT!!! was so happy since im not even in USA and i can use it on any provider =D

I don't think it will get a signal on Tmo's 3G system, so why would you want to use it on Tmo's edge anyways?

You are correct. T-Mo's 3G frequency is different from AT&T's. T-Mo uses the 1700/2100Mhz range for their 3G while AT&T uses the 850/1900Mhz range. The only frequency range the companies share is the 900Mhz band which is 2G

Guide - Unlock XT862 for T-mobile/ATT

Thought I would share based on my experiences on trying to get this phone to work on t-mobile. It works on ATT 3g/T-mobile Edge, but still a pretty cool phone to have.
Also another note, this is a mod that will only go through on Windows. You will need ROOT EXPLORER app for this method to work.
1 - Make sure you are on the stock XT862 ROM, if you aren't flash it via this method found here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4370-sbf-droid-3-fastboot-files-55959-and-56890/
2 - Make sure your phone is rooted, if not download the following and follow the steps found here: http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/
3 - Unlock the phone. This can be accomplished by purchasing the unlock code, and later entering the code upon insertion of a sim card. (T-mobile ATT sim cards will work, but you will get an error saying UNLOCK FAILED, this is NORMAL do not freak out)
4 - Download the following files and unzip it to your desktop: http://www.mediafire.com/?y1wjw775v8itsx3
5 - Click Start and open cmd.
6 - Type in the following in cmd:
'cd desktop'
'cd fastboot'
'moto-fastboot flash radio radio.img'
ONCE it flashes, then enter:
'moto-fastboot reboot'
7 - Use root explorer to push the build.prop into the system folder
8 - Reboot, select GSM/UMTS in Network Settings.
AND BAM now it works. If there is any confusion please let me know.

Nice! Is that the XT883 radio you're flashing or a real unlocked (and signed) XT862 radio?
Also - change
Code:
ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1
to
Code:
ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=0
in build.prop to get normal reading on signal strength indicator.
You can also change
Code:
ro.telephony.default_network=7
to
Code:
ro.telephony.default_network=3
so phone starts automatically in GSM/UMTS mode after hard reset.

Can anyone confirm that it's running on AT&T with 3G/4G?

Thanks man I'll reupload when I get back home with the edited bits . It is the XT883 radio.

Nice Guide!
I've read some people have had trouble unlocking the D3....and apparently it could be due to it being used on the Verizon network who then alter the unlock code via some update.
Anyone know if there is any truth in this? (I'm awaiting the delivery of a used D3 so would be handy to know).

Even after the update, if you restore it to the first link and then follow the steps, you will be fine. It can still be unlocked.

Awesome! I am about to try this on my friend's droid 3. Are there issues with the market (as some have mentioned in a previous thread)?
---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------
I am stuck on <waiting for device> in the command prompt after telling it to flash the radio. What sort of USB connection should I be selecting?
EDIT: I'm an idiot.... I figured it out!

Is anyone else who is using this method on AT&T experiencing super slow data speeds? I have tried the sim card in an at&t branded phone and it seems to work ok. On the Droid 3, I am getting a ping of 2500~ ms, and speeds in the 15-60kbps range.

I can't seem to add an APN and connect to the 3G network. Does anyone else have this issue? I am using a Bell SIM at the moment

Follow all the steps, no luck here
When I put the unlock code, phone shows for a sec "requesting unlock" and goes back to a subsidy lock message with a discard dialog box.
After that, I followed all other steps, and still enter unlock code appears
Any ideas?
I dont have an att sim card, Im just using foreign sim cards cause Im outside US.

You can always call the carrier and make sure they are allowing your phone to connect. I'm not sure if this is the problem, but I read about another AT&T branded 4G phone (the D3 will never get 4G) getting only edge because the carrier thought it was foreign, and they just called in and gave the IMEI number to get access.
The customer service rep may not understand your problem, but just tell them the truth that you want to use your compatible device on your valid account and they should redirect you to someone who can help.
I can verify this works on T-Mobile and AT&T since I've tested it on both. Didn't test 3g on AT&T though cuz I didn't think about it lol. I know it allows the connection to umts in the settings though.
The OP poster helped me get it working on my phone just make sure you follow the directions closely and it's pretty simple. If your unlock codes aren't working because you got them off the internet, you may need to have the phone put on Verizon temporarily to get them to give you a code. Just ask a friend with a valid account to help you out.
Good luck to everyone, this is a great hack that definitely saves some money while letting us use this cool phone. I will have to edit my build.prop as mentioned above to fix the reboot network loss problem, thanks for that as well!
Droid 3 with stock xt862 ROM working on T-Mobile via xt883 radio.img & custom build.prop

If verizon changed the codes while phones are connected to his network, changes could only be stored on a new bootloader.
There is no other unwritable part on the phone.
Wonder if the original poster used an ebay code or a verizon one...

Nice job! Pretty amazing what can be done with fastboot and signed radio images!

Custom ROM
What will happen if somebody follows this procedure and unlock the phone for AT&T but afterwards flash another rom? Will the radio still be unlocked for AT&T?

As long as that ROM you're flashing does not have radio image in it, you should be fine. If you meant sim lock - once unlocked, it will remain unlocked forever.

Now, I haven't tried flashing another ROM since flashing the xt883 radio.img, because I really don't mind the stock ROM with some build.prop tweaks and the help of Zeam Launcher. I would assume that any ROM you flash would cause the build.prop and radio.img to be replaced with new ones, made specifically for that ROM. You should probably consult with the developer of the ROM you want to use, and ask them if the build.prop changes specific to this process will have issues with their ROM. The xt883 radio.img shouldn't have any conflicts, but I believe it will still require the custom build.prop file which is found in the OP, or at a minimum the specific changes which allow this tweak to work.

SimLock Solution For All 4.3 users

Hello to you all
I would like to show all of you 4.3 users the solution "elvisypi" gave me in my private mail and finally i succeed to unlock my device.
So all of us know that sprint or google changed the way HtcOMADM works and we can't use the original system for unlocking our device.
So here is the solution that "elvisypi" gave me :
1. Download the "Stock with goodies 4.3 ROM". Don't flash it wet. (link : http://www.mediafire.com/?9y21d2wlszh6d6c )
2, With an archive viewer like winzip open the ROM.zip and go to /system/app
3. replace 2 apps which I have attached: HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_SPCS.apk and HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk. Just drag and drop and replace.
4. Finally flash the ROM.
5. Install the HTCOneSIMUnlockHelper and follow the onscreen instructions.
This system works 100% and this way you can be on 4.3 rom and still have an unlock GSM sprint device.
again , many thanks to "elvisypi" for his great support

sim unlock
Hope it does
downloading....

Thank you for this already pressed the Thank you button also
i was getting annoyed that i couldnt find the files before i found this thread

HTC ONE
I did everthing s-off....flashed to the old radio baseband....tried everything still havent got any signal....who know what a problem?
The only thing is that I've flashed my sprint htc one to the Straight talk. Could it cause a problem?

I am also trying to unlock for T-Mobile. Running into the same issues as others. I was reading a thread where someone was apparently using it on T-Mobile, and PMed them on how exactly they did it but never got a response.
Would love to hear if anyone has it working on T-Mobile

This works. :victory:
Only need to extract, modify and zip again.
Flash with TWRP.
And everything is working normally, no need to reinstall or root, or whatever.
The only problem is that every time I turn on the phone, I get the error message VDM, but it disappears instantly, without stopping or forcing any application.
I live outside the U.S., and continues to operate all perfect with SIMUnlockerHelper. :fingers-crossed:
My device: Sprint Htc one = Unlockboot, TWRP, SIMUnlocker Helper, Root, and the rom on the top of the post. (benny's 4.3 LOL)

it actually works, but if you're using a sense rom I think you only need to download the apps in the op and replacing in system/app
I did this with insertcoin 6.0-4, the unlock helper app didn't recognize the rom, but with the terminal emulator method it worked just fine, tried with a sim and all fine ... then put again the original apks and you don't have to deal with any error popups

Interesting. I was under the impression that our version of this device did not support domestic (only international) GSM bands, hardware wise.
Is this version of sim unlocking different than what you would get if you asked Sprint? (they do allow you to unlock it if you meet certain criteria, like good account standing)

it supports the bands, but all the radios except the original one block domestic gsm carriers. if you still unlock and use that radio, it'll work.

Not working
I tried everything mentioned above, ( Unlock bootloader, S-OFF, Root) also changed the 2 apps in the system for the 4.3 ROM Stock rooted deodexed and then used the SIM unlock helper.
Then Got the same result : No GSM signal, and the SPRINT logo still on the top when I make a call, the same answer comes: " Error number 16 script 3."

[Q] Rooting N900A to Lollipop while using T-mobile.

Ugh, I am having so many issues with this at the moment. One of those things being that I am using T-mobile as my carrier. I'm stuck on 4.4 at the moment, and need to update it. But, will that relock the phone? How do I re-unlock it if that happens? I've already read that I can't flash the phone to T-mobile ROM, but are there any custom ROMs that you would recommend [I do actually use the S-pen, not sure if any have been updated to where that can still be used.] Lastly, is there any way to get mobile hotspot and tethering to work now that I am using tmobile?

But it's the N900A, so it's the AT&T version. Won't that brick the phone if I put the tmobile ROM on it? That's what I've read in other threads on here anyway. [Honestly I shouldn't write when I'm tired, or I would have explained this better.]. Basically, I bought an unlocked AT&T phone. A Note 3 to be exact. It's stuck on 4.4 but can upgrade to lolipop. Nothing I try will let me upgrade the normal way. I'm not sure how to upgrade it without relocking the SIM card somehow. Or is the simcard already semi-locked and that's why it's giving me the error? I also can't even find a AT&T specific rooting guide for this phone. I saw every other carrier except AT&T, does that even make a difference? And are there any ROMs that can return S-pen programs after I install them, or should I just stop at rooting if I want that? If so, I just really want to upgrade to lollipop and root the phone. I would like my mobile hotspot and wifi calling to work, but I suppose I can make do with hangouts.

It won't brick you phone. It's a T-Mobile Rom that's been ported for AT&T Note 3. After you flash the Rom, you have to Odin the N900A_OC1_ALL_Other_Stock_Partitions.tar.md5 using Odin's PDA slot. As far as rooting what you have now, just use Towel root https://towelroot.com/ (install on phone like any other app) and click "make it rain". Install Supersu, busybox and Safestrap. OR use Kingo Root http://www.kingoapp.com/ (Kingo Root will install supersu for you). The reason it won't upgrade to Lollipop is you have a T-Mobile sim card in it. It needs a AT&T sim card (I have AT&T and can't upgrade mine unless the sim card is in the phone). If you just want a rooted Lollipop Rom, but it's AT&T http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59666958&postcount=2 You know since you're on T-Mobile you have to go into settings>more networks>mobile networks>access point names and change it to T-Mobile's APN. I would just root it and put the T-Mobile Alliance Lollipop Rom on ATT Note 3 on it. I gave it a try yesterday and it does have T-Mobile apps on it, just not for me. Just remember to change the APN to T-Mobile's ( just write down the one you using now).

Network unlock of Boost Mobile Variant

From what I have read in the ROM forums it appears that you can get around the Boost Mobile network lock by unlocking the bootloader and installing a Lineage based ROM. Can someone confirm this and does anyone know if you can get LTE support of AT&T and T-Mobile this way? Best Buy has them for 79 bucks right now and for that price it sounds like a cheap way of getting very usable backup phone/something to give to the 4th grader to have when she goes over to a friends house. Thanks.

Hey, did you ever get a confirmation on this? Im literally in the same boat, would like to find out!
I didnt read too much and I may be totally wrong, but a quick search told me that I would need to have a working LTE connection on Boost before attempting this, otherwise LTE would not work. If I have to buy a boost card, activate it, then go through all this, I might as well buy the unlocked version for a few bucks more..?
Thanks

Yes, I can confirm. Installing the latest unofficial LineageOS 14.1 on my XT1776 allowed it to finally recognize my Cricket (AT&T Wireless) SIM card. The OEM retail firmware, however, did not work.

Would you be able to link to the threads to install LineageOS? Did you need to activate on Boost before installing the LineageOS?

Just to give an update I bought one at Target with a best buy price match (I had some Target gift cards). Up and running with a T Mobile sim and Resurrection Remix in less than 45 minutes including download everything and installation minimal ADB and Motorola drivers. Coming from an LG G5 I am impressed at what 79 dollars buys. I was interested in an Honor 7x but is hard to justify the extra 125 bucks. Thanks to everyone for the great guides and help. The hardest part was figuring out how to eject the Boost mobile sim card.

Did you have to bootloader unlock and root first to do it? I just ordered a phone from BestBuy. I remember for the Moto E4 Verizon phones that you had remove the prepaid sim before you even power the phone on otherwise it gets locked to Verizon for 6 months. Any gotchas here?
BTW, anyone who want a stock rom, this might help? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75968092&postcount=14

I'm not sure I ejected my sim before turning it on just to be safe.

Does anyone know if this phone once unlocked and LINEAGEOS is installed will work on Verizon?

I would think that it would be fine. It's no different than what I did except it's fir a different network. Mine works with t-Mobile and at&t sims. Haven't tried a Verizon one.

Verizon is CDMA, but I guess it should work since I think Sprint uses their network, too.

So just to confirm, do we have to activate Boost SIM and provision LTE first before unlocking bootloader and flashing LineageOS? The Lineage thread says LTE won't work if we don't provision LTE first before flashing.
I'm on T-Mobile currently and might switch to Cricket in the near future. Thanks.

I took the Boost Mobile SIM out and inserted my T-Mobile SIM before I even powered on the phone for the first time. Notification was there that showed it was invalid (as expected). I connected to my wifi and updated the OS to the latest one. I unlocked the bootloader in the OS setting and by getting the code from Motorolla. Installed TRWP, backed up the stock OS, wiped and installed LineageOS. SIM card worked on T-Mobile immediately and got LTE. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
EDIT: I'm working on another phone and I noticed after it's booted up and I'm past the new install setup steps that it looks like it's connecting to the Sprint network and provisioning even without the Boost SIM card installed. I connected the phone to my wifi during the initial setup so I can update the stock formware before unlocking. I have no idea if that matters. I'm guessing the Linage thread is correct. I suppose it would be bad to boot to fastboot first, unlock, flash recovery and flash lineage without ever first booting the phone up with the stock firmware.

Thank you for the quick reply. Although, I decided to jump in and got the Moto E4 Boost Mobile version for $50 and went through the same process

Mobile network not available
I have tried multiple compatible sims from Straight Talk (T-Mobile, Verizon, At&t) and At&t. I get Mobile network not available. Running 14.1-20171017-UNOFFICIAL-perry

Maybe you have to manually add the APN settings for Straight Talk? https://www.straighttalk.com/wps/portal/home/help/apn

Nope didn't work for me. I had to pay to get it unlocked
