[Q] Questions about unlocking and rooting after Samsung 2.2 update

OK first post here. I have done a fair bit of reading and searching but still have a couple of questions. I have just bought a Captivate. Made 3 phone calls with it and that's it. It has already been rooted and unlocked by the seller. I know if I upgrade to 2.2 via KiesMini it will remove the unlock and root. After the update can I unlock and root again. ? I hear Super One Click might root it. I have the code numbers from the original unlocking. What can I use to unlock it? Thanks

you dont lose the unlock by updating it. even if you did, you have the code so it doesnt matter. you dont need it unlocked if you are staying on ATT....unlocking is so you can stick another providers SIM card in and use it on any GSM carrier

I am not on AT&T. I have an AT&T phone that's used on Roger's. That's why it needs to stay unlocked.

if you have the code then it doesnt matter if the unlock goes away.

Use the SIM you intend to use plus the code previously extracted. [APP]SuperOneClick v1.7 (Root, Unroot, Enable Non-Market App works on Froyo.

Update. Unlocked and rooted phone. Updated with Kies Mini to Froyo 2.2. Phone remained unlocked after update. Root was gone. Used SuperOneClick 1.7 and root was back. No problems at all.

sim unlock app for sgs phones.i used it and it works great! READ THE FRIGGIN INSTRUCTIONS make backups, backup your backups to PC and ext sd card, EVERYWHERE.
Must use method 2, as rogers phones dont have the code stored inside it. method 1 returns FFFFF, must do file swap method.

Try code from Online site If you cannot get that means try from Online sites.

Wiped Captivate - Need Advice

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.

[Q] how to unlock samsung galaxy s

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!!!
