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

Hi,
I'm still all new to my new Captivate... and of course the first thing i did was root it.. took me a while to get familiar with rooting and after I did that I upgraded it to a ROM from here..
I've bricked and recovered my phone a few times.. but the one thing I can't figure out is how to restore my phone back to true Virgin Rogers Captivate...
The only one problem with my phone now is the NAND bootup screen, right before it says Samsung I896, says AT&T with their globe.
I've read on forums how to rewrite it using bmlwrite, but i was remembering it all started when i used ODIN3 with a bundled ROM that i had this problem.
forum.sdx-developers.com/tips-and-guides/(how-to)-use-flash_imagebmlwrite
I am wondering if I am saying this right, does anyone have the original NAND dump for the Rogers Captivate so I can revert it back to normal.
Anyhelp on this one is really appreciated.
Cheers
Hello,
I am selling my Captivate to a friend who is returning to Paraguay next week. I have returned to stock and installed Andromeda 3. I have not assigned an account to it. I did use SGS Unlock and when I use that app to test it, it returns all 7's.
If I restored back to stock or updated to Andromeda, does the unlock stay in place?
Is there anything else I need to do to get this to work for her over seas?
Unlock stays through flash.
That should be all that's needed...
Hi
What is the best way to unlock a Bell i9000M running 2.3.3 UGKG3?
I just bought simunlcoker from the market.. worked like a charm... I'll get you the exact app in a bit my phone is currently off and charging.
if this can be done by a simple app I would prefer a free one however
or instructions on how do to it from the command line
there is a free version of the app and it use to unlock sim in 2.1, I had to buy it after that....
Lookup in market SGS Unlock, by Dagentooboy
pro is 5.00 and I can confirm in maybe 20 mins if it still works.
---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------
Just put in a Rogers SIM card and my phone is still unlocked...
Tried SGS Unlock Tool. Both methods didn't work.
Then I tried Galaxy S Unlock. The second method worked, I think, but I need to confirm with a SIM card.
Root was needed.
sometimes you need to put in the new SIM card, boot the phone (get a sim lock error) then run the APP , reboot phone and should work.
Confirmed: Galaxy S Unlock works. It's free. And you don't need a SIM card to run it.

I can also confirm, use the Galaxy S Unlock app from the Android App store (now renamed the Play Store). The FAQ talks about needing Busybox installed, but I didn't install it and it worked flawlessly for me. Mind you, my phone is rooted with SuperUser, so who knows maybe that's why it worked.
For those thinking of unlocking their phone DON'T CONTACT BELL FOR AN UNLOCK CODE. They will push a $75 fee for a code that doesn't work (here try mine and see 09182086).
I wasted over 6 hours with Bell customer service to no avail. The app developed by Helroz is free, but I'll be giving him a donation because his app WORKS!!! It took less then a min for me to unlock my phone with his app, LESS THEN A MIN!!! Can you tell I'm happy!!
Here's another unlock code given to me by Bell but equally didn't work but I like to share so 62189513. And if my sharing means Bell doesn't screw others out of $75 bucks then it will certainly put a smile on my face.
Enjoy folks, and remember spread the love to other Bell customers with Galaxy S phones. Bell will never get another penny from me.

Hello,
I'm from Malaysia and recently I just bought used Note 5.
After using it for sometimes, when I try to login into one app (which doesn't work for a rooted devices) then I realized it the phone is already rooted.
After further checking the phone, I found out that the phone is a Verizon set and now running on Android 5.1.1.
Currently the phone works just fine and I'm able to use it in Malaysia. (except for those app which not allowing the rooted devices).
I'm planning to reformat the phone to stock rom and my question is whether the phone still can be used in Malaysia or it will locked under Verizon?
Hope you guys can help and advise me on this matter.
Thanks
Regards,
sodok
