I bought one samsung captivate SGH-I897, But after i got it i looked on it and found there is no option to install out of market apps. Everytime.i try to install somthing from outside market it says " for security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from android market".
I somehow manage to root to using oneclick root but still there is no option to install outside apps and it stil says same thing.
Please help, i want to unlock it use on my tmobile too.

You have to enable non-market apps using Odin,
Or install a rom to your phone like continumm this will automaticly allow non market apps

On the oneclickroot program there's an option to " allow non market apps" to unlock your phone you'll need to SEARCH xda or Google/xda on the one click unlocker for captivate. Some captivates it works others are to new. + galaxy s unlocker in the market has proven to work for some.

There was a option for that and i clicked yes but still its not done.
If u spend like 20 minutes (if even that) searching for this topic/issue, you will find your answer. Try it out.

Im on stock rom froyo. Should i start at the "prepping the system" step? Thanks a lot for your help.
Well, this is my opinion, I am not sure what Overcome will say.
The prep is needed because there are some people who are on locked bootloader in froyo.
Also, once rooted you can do Titanium Backup.
That is why it says you need to be rooted first.
But:
- if you don't care about Titanium Backup, no need to root.
- if you have locked bootloader, you won't be able to continue. Unless you root, then unlock the bootloader.
So my suggestion, jump straight to the Odin flash for froyo.
Edit: I never have locked boot loader so I don't know the impact.
the guy on the other thread can't boot after flashing, and think maybe it is due to boot loader locked.
So I retract, best is to follow overcome to the letter if you are on froyo.
Im already rooted with z4 root. What should i do now? What step should i go to?
still from the top.
Froyo, right?
You need to check if your bootloader is locked.
If not locked, and you have all your apps backup,
then just get the GB-stock-safe package,
unzip it and flash using Odin.
will try that later once i'm free thanks
i followed all the steps and managed to run on overcome, but now i can't get any mobile network signal and still can't make calls. help meeee

Hey guys, quick question. I have no experience with this.
Can I unlock my Captivate (Rogers, Canada) i.e. SIM unlock it to run on other carriers and then flash a new room like we do through XDA all the time? My question is will I lose the unlock i.e. if I flash a new rom after I have carrier unlocked my phone will the phone remain unlocked?
I think most unlock software requires the nv_data folder, is this changed if I flash roms - or even do a hard reset?
Thanks
Yes u can unlock it and flash Roms...

I might need to change service providers soon because Koodo is just sucking right now. As such, my phone needs to be unlocked. I would be paying Koodo for the service so that I don't have to run the risk of bricking my S5830D (can you brick your phone attempting to unlock it?). However, my little Ace is running CM9.1 RC4.1 by Wayland_ACE.
I don't know the SIM unlocking procedure and I was wondering if I would need to flash back Koodo's Stock ROM (where can I get that by the way?) and unroot it to have it unlocked.
I also heard of unlock codes around these forums and was wondering what they were, does Koodo just give me a code that I enter somewhere to SIM unlock? Please give me any information that you can on this matter.
Koodo charges $50 to unlock the SIM. Is there a safe and simpler less expensive method to unlock the SIM?
Thanks in advance.

I have a Captivate that I am using for a media player (no sim card). Right now I am running REMICS 4.2.
My son-in-law broke his phone and I want to let him use mine but he is on a different carrier.
Do I have to go back to stock or GB in order to unlock? And yes, I have tried the apps and the codes for checking lock/unlock does not work with JB.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!:good:

I think the app does work on JB gotta input the code while the other SIM card is in the phone.
If I'm wrong, you might need to be on stock GB but doesn't make much sense to me
GalaxSim Unlock app by Spocky from the Play Store. The ability to do the unlock isn't free but should do the job on the JB Rom.
The other unlock app by helroz, u would have to flash back to Stock first then unlock...i think.

There would also be the manual way... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045 it's not as simple as downloading an app but it's very effective and permanent.
