I am currently using Continuum 5.5 by icezar which is based on the 2.3.3 code released by Samsung for the European Galaxy S. I was wondering how I would be able to unlock the network/sim (use it in europe w/o being raped by ridiculous long distance rates). Is there any way to do this?
Market, SGS Unlock by Helroz
Thanks! Great tool. Is there any way to check for a successful unlock if you don't have a sim card?
use SGS tools from the market and go to secret codes>from there it is in the top half, when the results come up, look for network lock [off]

Hello All;
I am using my AT&T Captivate on Canadian Rogers network with a seller supplied unlock code, as well as a "sgs unlock.txt" file in my phone.
If I ever do either OTA upgrade to Froyo, custom leak upgrade to Froyo, or any kind of flashing such as stock ODIN and such, will the unlock code ever change or can I be using the same unlock code, if the phone ever decides to lock itself again?
Cheers!

Hmmm....good question. I thought i read somewhere in these threads that when you flash ANYTHING (beyond eclair/ jf6 build), that you do lose the unlock code. I could be wrong. These are one of those times that i wouldn't mind being wrong. lol
How i can unlock Samsung Captivate? so i can use on T-mobile its new phone. is there any risk?
Yes, you can. There are plenty of posts on how to do it here.
The only 'risk' is that you won't get T-mobile's 3G, only Edge, as the Capitvate doesn't include T-mobiles 3G bands.

Hi...been trying evry method, i even flashed from 2.3.3 to stock 2.1, but everytime i run the super one click, it gives me this value 00101 which does not unlock the phone
Any ideas on what to do?
No there is no more risk in unlock the Samsung Captivate ...To unlock it without any Risks Use the Unlock code.Buy the Unlock code from the site Mobileunlocksolutions.com and Unlock it from Network lock simply!!!..
Hey everyone,
I recently wiped my captivate clean. I have used the Odin one click downloader to take it back to Eclair (JF6) and master clear to clear all the files.
I need advice at this point on. I leave for Spain in 5 days. I need this phone unlocked to use my international sim card. Do I upgrade to 2.2 and work with the fact that the unlock code on 2.2 has been erased? Should I stay with Eclair and use easy unlock and root methods?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
once you unlock your captivate it will be unlocked for good. Having the stock JF6 rom just makes things easier because the unlock code was in plain text in /efs/nv_data.bin and can be easily extracted. Any rom after JF6 had nv.data.bin file encrypted but there are other methods to get the code.
Try using the Galaxy_S Unlock in the app market first to see if that works if not there search the forums for another solution.

I unlocked it and successfully upgraded to 2.2 froyo without losing the lock. This is great news. My only concern is that when I insert the unaccepted sim card (international), won't it request a code or will it not?
Thanks for the help!
not sure about using a sim from spain but i've used and tested my captivate on:
US T-mobile sim
UK T-mobile sim
US Simple Mobile sim
and Hong Kong sims
without any problems.
open up your phones dialer and enter *#7465625#
if you see:
Network Lock [off]
Network Subset Lock [off]
SP Lock [off]
CP Lock [off]
you should be good to go.
Your best bet is to contact whatever provider you will be using while in spain and ask if them if your unlocked phone will work with their sims.
Thanks for your input. I contacted them and they said their sim card WILL work, just going to have a hard time unlocking it. The good thing is I have done that already!
My network lock is [off]. I thought I would still need the code? I suppose not.
Hi guys,
I am from Australia. About couple of months ago I upgraded my SGS from stock froyo (network provided) to 2.3.4 JVR gingerbread via samfirmware but I did not unlock my phone prior to doing that as I was told it doesn't matter. Now when I am trying to unlock it, it doesn't work. It says network unlock unsuccessful. I am leaving for overseas in a week and if my phone doesn't unlock then I can't use it. I am kinda freaking out. My phone is not rooted.
Pls help!!!
Dont use the app only the.pro.app unlocks your phone try to hex edit nv_data.bin there is a great.guide.how to do that in the development forums
ps: you have to be rooted to.do.it but.if you reinstall to stock the unlock remains.if you dont touch.efs folder
If im wrong sorry i.did it this.way.and.my.phone is still unlocked
Hi. I have a Samsung galaxy note 3 and it rooted. After the root I wanted a different service so I have t-moble. I downloaded the region lock away and went through the steps. After my phone was rebooted it still ask me for a unlock code after installing the region lock away. The note 3 is a att phone. Need help
What rom is on the phone? I believe region lock away will only work with certain modems.
I don't have safe strap installed with different roms. It's the original rom and the phone is rooted
If the rom is too new, I don't think region lock away will work. For example, the s4 the modem must be 4.2.2 with root before region lock away will sim unlock the phone.
Oh ok. Well I'm 5.1 android version. Is there another way I can do this instead of paying for an unlock code?
The only way to unlock would be to get an unlock code. If you're not on ATT and the phone is not blacklisted, maybe contact AT&T.
