Hi All,
I got my samsung captivate rooted successfully. i got the so called unlock code from nv-data.bin file. when i gave the unlock code on my phone, it said the unlocked failed, but i was able to use radio of my new sim. I am able make calls and stuff, but i am not able to to use data network on my phone. I am not able to configure an APN setting in my phone. It doesnt get added when i click save button.
I am confused guys....please help me counter this issue.
TIA

hi all
i thought i would attempt to flash my samsung s with the new beta froyo update.
i followed this guys tutorial.
( cant link to it sorry its the noobs guide with detailed instructions through kies and odin)
i used the odin approach
i managed to root the phone.
on reboot it asked for an unlock code (o2 uk) so i went on to try and follow the steps about unlocking it. which neither worked all the way through the steps.
on reboot it appears to have signal and in the about section it says i am onnected to the o2 network but when i try to make a call is says "data network not available with an ok button, which when pressed will return you to the ome screen.
any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
Almost the same problem,
installed 2.2 update successfully, the phone worked for like 3-4 days very well and after that today i discovered "Emergency calls only"
so the question now is did i bought phone which later was reported stolen? or somehow i broke it?
Anyone have any idea?
hmmm, I have the same problem! In the status menu, the number is shown, but the network, says "unknown"
Hi! I have this exact same problem except I was unlocking my phone using this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906255
But I didn't back up my Efs folder, now my phone is unlocked but when I put a sim card in it I have very little network and when I try to make a call I get " NO DATA NETWORK AVAILABLE".
I've tried everything but I don't know what to do!
I was thinking of two ways to fix it:
1. Reinstall froyo (not quite sure how using the samsung software as my laptop oesn't recognised the phone as a pone)
2. Downgrade to, get unlock code using market app and then upgrade to froyo again.
I know I messed up but now I really need to fix this.
Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help me out.

might need to change the modem in odin i think. just heard about it
did u try restarting the phone... just a wild guess...
I had the same issue before and was puzzled. Its actually a very simple solution:
1. Re-lock your phone, search through xda there is a code you have to enter
2. Unlock your phone
All done! Surprisingly easy
Try the Odin method in block 2 back to Eclair if ok then upgrade to Froyo .

However your non connection might be due to not flashing a firmware with your network settings in which case manual settings of APN .
If your IMEI has changed due to flashing and you did not back up your EFS folder then little hope but do a google / search of XDA as some have reported success .

Emergency calls only
I had a custom rom that was giving that to me too. I think it means that you can access a network different from your sim (because usually emerg calls can be made from any phone I think?).
I'd try and find a rom that is optimized for your carrier or at least a modem file from a stock rom that is for your carrier. You may also need to reselect the APN settings (or enter them for your carrier). Its under settings/wireless and network/Mobile networks/access point names (use the menu button to add an APN).
you could also try re downloading and flashing the rom to make sure that is the issue. Mine said it installed OK but never booted up, redownloaded and reflashed and then it was fine but the install screens looked identical.

Hi! Thank you so much for everyone's replies!
My IMEI isn't changed and someone helped me check my efs files and they are all ok. I'm going to try and reflash froyo through the samsung software to see if the network lock comes back and then try to unlock again. For this I'm going to unroot the phone and follow samsungs' instructions.
I'm afraid to relock the phone as there are reports that say it completely messes everything up!
But I'll keep you guys posted! Wish me luck!!!!
PS. Any other suggestions are more than welcome!
So, a quick update on my situation.
I uninstalled busybox and unrooted my phone using the oneclick root tool.
Did a factory format and, surprise surprise, my phone now works perfectly!
Apart from the fact that it doesn't connect to kies, but that's a whole another issue!
Tank you so much to all of you who answered my cry for help!

Recently got a G1 off a friend as tempory fix until my replacement X10 arrives.
Phone is currently locked to T-Mobile and I don't have an active T-Mobile sim card.
I've been following the guides on rooting it but I've ground to a halt.
I've flashed the ROM back to the earlier T-Mobile ROM (i.e. before the exploit was patched) as per the guide, but now, because the sim card in the phone isn't active, I can't log in to my google account to get onto the actual handset.
Any possible work around for thid?
Before I flashed it, the ROM that was originally on it allowed me to skip this login step and connect via my Wi-Fi.
I hope you do know, unlocking and rooting are two different things.
Yes.. hence I listed flashing, rooting and sim unlocking as 3 seperate proceedures.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452316 should help you
Although if you sim-unlock it (since you're not a T-mobile customer you would have to buy a code from numerous ebay/craigslist sellers) you could just use your simcard to go through activation (look in the big APN thread for your settings)
That thread is big help, thanks!
Still stuck though, I've got DroidExplorer and all the other software needed installed, however I need to get USB debugging enabled on the phone.
I cannot do this without gaining access to the phone itself.
Going round in circles here!
No one?

you could use ( one click unlock ) not very hard two do,just save efs files then click unlock, one thing though if u are on froyo 2.1 click the the froyo 2.1 option or 2.2 if you on 2.2 froyo,but i think you need root to use this program (mite be wrong)
anyway good luck
it depends on the model of the galaxy s. In most cases, you will need to root the phone.
Help Pls
I had successfully unlocked my galaxy s using the procedure suggested on the related XDA forum.. the phone worked fine with a different network later on i accidently clicked the factory reset option.. now although the phone says its unlocked but i cannot see any network signal and the phone does not work on any sim card.
Pls can someone help
PS: I can switch on the phone and perform all other functions.
Try the one click unlock app thingy again, see how that pans out.
Also try this:
Go into settings > network and coonections > mobile networks > and manually choose your provider.
Mine is locked to my network also, but I'm now running Gingerbread. Any way I can get an unlock?
Can anyone help i have upgraded my phone after much trouble trying to unlock it via market apps & superoneclick neither worked and the phone ended up going into some dead mode and wouldnt fully load up.
So in still trying to end up with a network unlocked phone i have managed to upgrade my phone to GINGERBREAD.XXJVQ 2.3.4 which was successful and work perfectly over my broadband wireless network but when i try to make calls it tell me
"MOBILE NETWORK NOT AVAILABLE"
the mobile was previously on three uk network but is now debranded obviously with gingerbread
i tried a hard reset via *2767*3855* but still no change.
any help greatly appreciated many thanks in advance

Just look like your phone have been locked on three network.and your unlock is failed.
Did you try found any phone shop on market to unlock your phone?
probably just five pound for each one on Chinatown.
I was stay in UK for 3 year,and as I know, the Chinatown guys have special device for unlock phone ,one simply for all,whatever you upgrade rom,you will be never locked again.
I'm not sure about that really cause it also does this with my correct network sim card still installed......
You've checked your apn settings? Sounds top suspect to me.
If you've still got problems, flash ezbase gingerbread. Search dev section, full, simple instructions included.
I tried that it tells me i should
"insert a sim card to access network services"
Could you point me in the right direction so i know im using the right programs and files
Please check your IMEI number by dialing *#06# on the keypad. If it displays the correct imei number as displayed on the Phone box/ under the battery, then you are saved. If not you have lost your efs folder which contains the files which hold the imei data.
Did u get the phone with Gingerbread as stock rom? Try downgrading to an Eclair (2.1) ROM with Odin.
hello again peoples,
I'm very grateful for all your assistance but i just wasn't paying attention when i was putting my SIM card into my phone and put it in the wrong way round...!
i mean what happened to SIM card slots where sim cards only fit in one way...!
again thanks alot for all your assistance also i've ended up upgrading to Insanity 2.3.5
Thank s
Hi All,
I've trawled through this forum for quite a while and haven't yet found any answers or similar cases to the issue I'm currently having. Here's a summary of where I am at the moment with my i9305 LTE:
- Got a i9305 locked to EE.
- When EE quoted £20+ and 10-20 days for unlock I started looking at altenatives.
- For one of the alternatives, I flashed to get root and I believe I lost my IMEI. I didn't have an efs backup and was unable to restore via stock flashing.
- Luckily, I had a screenshot of my settings so I re-wrote my IMEI using QPST.
- Decided to go for the legit unlock this time so called EE and paid for the unlock code.
- Pre-root, when I put in my unsupported SIM I would get a prompt for an unlock code, but that doesn't have anymore. While waiting for the EE code, I found that when I inserted the unsupported SIM, I would sometimes be able to connect in very specific locations (e.g. certain places outside the house). Wi-Fi works perfectly.
- When the unlock code came, I attempted to enter it by getting to the prompt using "#7465625*638*#". Although, when I enter the code here, it does not accept it (I have an unlock and an unfreeze code, neither work).
- I have trialed the SIM in various other phones and have had no problems with signal at all, the problems arise when I place the SIM in the i9305.
- I have tried changing the modem, so far no luck...
No idea how to go about fixing this... At the moment I can't use it as a phone.
Here is some more info:
Samsung GT-I9305
Nameless Rom 5.0.2
Baseband: I9305XXBLL3
Android Version: 5.0.2
- Should I keep trying different Modems?
- I've tried to verify whether phone is locked or unlocked, but *#7465625# doesn't work, do you know any other ways that I can diagnose sim lock status?
- Will different ROMs or kernels help?
Thanks for any help!
-- UPDATE --
Have flashed back to stock 4.1.1.
I attempted to sim unlock via the *#197328640# approach, but wasn't able to get it to work...
My current next hope is to try and restore my i9305 to the point where it asks for a code to unlock upon entering a new SIM again... Would really appreciate any help, Thanks!
I've still not been able to fix, but will update when I do in case it helps anyone else :good:
