[Q] Question|unlocking

Hello;
I bought an unlocked Samsung Captivate from Ebay,
when i got the phone it was unlocked and used it for a while.
(got it 9 days ago).
I tried to update the phone once but I forgot to change the
"update.zip" file with the newer that I got from here
then the phone became locked again. I tought it was a problem with the rom so I burnt another room on it(cogniton 2.2 with hebrew on it). The phone is working but its unlocked. I tried unlocking it with the software named "terminal Emulator" and got 8 digits codes (numbers only) I wrote it down. then inserted my simcard and tried the code twice (it said that the unlocking was unseccusfull. I stopped trying to insert the code
(I heard it can get bricked but i didnt know how many times do i need to try untill its getting bricked). I got no idea how to open it up. please help me,
Thank you.
for any other questions that might help you... post it and i will answer. (I live in Israel and I cant get to At&t's lab to fix it)

if you search in the Q&A section of the forum, there is a thread devoted to unlocking captivates. This is the Dev section, devoted to development of new roms/kernels/etc. I was literally just looking at the thread moments ago, I just don't have the URL handy. go to Q&A and search unlock and you should have all your problems solved.
I don't know the answer, but you might be more successful if you poet questions in the Q&A forum. Good luck.

SGS Unlock Help

Hi,
firstly i understand that everyone is quite picky about using the search function to first find relevant posts. However i have gone through an immense amount of posts and still am unable to unlock my SGS.
I have the UK version
Samsung galaxy s i9000
locked to orange
i tried unlocking using the tool from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045
the error i get is shown below:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
my mobile is rooted using latest docs rom.
Also as i couldn't get this to work i purchased unlock code from eBay for 15 euros however they also refunded saying they couldn't find the unlock code.
I can't access the android market to install the 'pro app' because i don't have an orange sim card.
help would be greatly appreciated
I've done some searching myself, not so long ago, and apparently you need to flash your Galaxy S back to the stock rom it shipped with before using that tool!
I can't confirm it though, didn't try it myself.
Or try using Market Enabler to fake the identity of your phone to the market so you can access all the apps in the Market. There's a free app called Galaxy_S Unlock that I and some people had success with, read it's description first though and just do the steps in order.
Goodluck!

[Q] Galaxy Ace Unlocking and Stock Rom Problem

Hey Guys
Sorry if this question has been asked before. I've searched all over but not found any solution though.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830V. I previously bricked it and restored stock firmware and now when i turn on my device it says Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830I. The problem with this is that i now wanted to unlock my phone and when i use the Vodafone Unlock Tool (found by searching "vodafone unlock tool") and when i enter the unlock code into the Network Unlock thingy it says "Network Unlock Unsuccessful". I think that the problem is because the unlock tool says its for GT-S5830V and my firmware has changed to GT-S5830I. Please, does anyone know where to find the stock firmware for GT-S5830V or is there a way i can FULLY restore my phone to when i bought it instead of just wiping all the apps off (because all it does it wipes all the apps off and doesn't actually "restore to factory defaults")
Please correct me if my understanding of the problem is wrong and if somehow i can get my hands on another unlock code without paying some weird "unlock your phone here" website.
Thanks in advance

I tried doing the solution on that link and it didn't work. so i clicked on the link that was on that post that said improved method and i got everything right until the hex editing where the hex search didn't work so i couldn't find the code.
Does anyone else have any ideas? I had to pay another $20 on vodafone so i can still call and text so at the moment my new sim is just a waste of money so i desperately need a solution.
Thanks again for your attempt at helping and your quick reply:good:

Bro, did you run Install after you installed BusyBox on your device? You should check the comments from the site. Most of guys who didn't open the BusyBox app and run Intall received this error. While doing a full Install solved it. Do post your result. Hope I helped

Of course i clicked install after. I ended up getting pro version to install smart install to ensure no problems and it didn't work.

Try to follow this video. As per the video, if you get "or or or" error, run Smart install again on BusyBox. If that doesn't work, I also found a site on the comments of this video. It seems the site unlocks any phone & it's free cause they run on user donations. I have no personal experience with this site, so use at your own caution.

I think that when you re-flashed the rom from brick the phone got network unlocked. Did you try another sim before trying to unlock it?

Yes i tried with Amaysim.
I got a reply from Vodafone and they supplied me with a master reset code. I followed the method provided and when I entered the reset code into the phone keypad, it said "Mobile Network not Available". I guess I just have to take it to Vodafone to get it unlocked. Will they unlock a rooted phone or will they not accept it? If they wont then i can just unroot it.
Guys I found a confusing solution. While on my way to Vodafone I unrooted my device just in case they didn't allow rooted devices. Once i got there the guy must of thought i did something wrong with the unlock code so he decided to get the unlock code for me. Once he got the unlock code he switched the sim cards to enter the code but strangely we were not prompted to enter the code and the sim just worked. I rooted my device again to see if that was the problem and I was prompted to enter the unlock code so it was so i unrooted it again. But unfortunately nothing seems to go right for me now and now I can only connect to wi-fi if my device is rooted. If i try to connect while unrooted it will attempt to obtain the ip address for a while until it gives up and says the network is disabled. Does anyone happen to know a solution to this problem?
Thank you to everyone who tried to help

thank you my kind sir

bricked software cant flash new

hi i have had my redmi 4x for like 2,5 years by now
and i originally bricked it like two weeks after i got it so obviously i tried to fix it
i watched some youtube tutorials but nothing seemed to work for me because i didnt understand that you had to unlock the bootloader
to do that and that that wasnt possible if it was bricked so i tried for a loooong loooong time without success
after like 2 month i finally gave up and well today i found it in my closet and i thought it would be fun to repair it
so i tried. so far without success
the problem iis that i oviously cant unlock the bootloader (because the phone isnt even signed into my miui account)
so then i tried to use the test point contacts i shorted them out with my screwdriver and opened the flash tool
but when i wanted to flash it it said: "couldnt find flash script"
and thats where im standing right now
sorry for my bad english
There is tutorial how to flash ROM in such cases i could have linked that thread but it seems to be miui forum got killed, not sure of its availability it is giving error 404 to me.
Check this thread it might help but first read carefully everything and then proceed -> https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomitool-windows-mod-xiaomi-smartphone/
