How to Unlock SGH-I896 w/ CM7 (latest nightly/stock bootloaders) - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I need to send my Captivate to a friend out of Canada and need to unlock the device. I'm running the latest CM7 nightly w/ glitch kernel v12 and stock 2.2 bootloaders. Any way to unlock it while on CM7? Or is it necessary to Odin back to stock?
Thanks.

There is a Rogers stock Odin image on XDA. I also have my backup efs folder. If I go back to stock rogers would it still not unlock?
Sorry for the stupid question.

Bootloaders ...?

Ive just flashed ficeto's jvp and now want to try TweakyRom. However, in the guide it says to make you have gingerbread bootloaders. How do i check if i have them and if not how do i get them?
If your jvp is working then you have gb bootloaders, to change bootloaders use ezboot in dev section

Well to be safe in your own mind just flash ezboot gb, then you are certain!

If you have Froyo bootloaders but Gingerbread ROM, you'll se multicoloured stripes while booting.

No baseband

Ive just flashed juwe's 5.0 and now there is no baseband version meaning i cant make or recieve calls or anything like that. What do i do?
You've flashed correctly and done all the steps described in the flashing manual? If you had Froyo before: did you flash a Gingerbread-firmware including bootloader?

I was on gingerbread jvp so I assumed I already had the gingerbread bootloaders, correct?

Well, if you update from Froyo to Ginger via Odin you have to flash a Ginger-vresion including the bootloaders (here on XDA there are mostyl versions WITH and version WITHOUT bootloader available, and you need one WITH bl.).
You could try to flash a modem seperatly with Odin, but normally everything should work with Juwe's 5.0.
But i wasnt on froyo, i was on gingerbread so i must of already had gingerbread bootloaders? Anyway if i didnt have the bootloaders why did it still boot me into juwe 5.0?
Hm, ok. Were you able to make calls with your previous Ginger-ROM?
If I was you I'd flash stock-Ginger again and - if the telephone-function works - flash Juwe's 5.0.
Yes I was able to make calls.

Not correct, there are seperatly modems for CM7 for example. But for Samsung-based ROMs you are right.

Can't get cwm

I've tried everything to get cwm installed. I did the new att bootloader. Now nothing I do will get me out of sight verified 3e.

A little more info would help. What rom are you using, did you try using Rom Manager? If you are on Gingerbread bootloaders you can flash KF1 with Cognition 5 Beta kernel, it has CWM.
I'm using the kf1 one click. I was looking at the latest kernels and none were for Odin.

Before I went looking for old odin kernels though I would ask if anyone knew what was up.

You can use this kernel Cognition 5. Thats a KF1 based rom, that kernal has CWM and it works with stock KF1.

New exchanged cappy

So i just got a new cappy on exchange from bby and have some questions prior to roming.
I had a 1007 build and got a 1010. What root methods are good for preloaded 2.2?
Can i odin one click to 2.1 like with my first one and root from there?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
If you are going to flash a custom rom there is no need to root. Flash speedmod kernel with odin to get cwm and flash rom in recovery.
If you want a gingerbread rom the added step of flashing gingerbread bootloaders is required. Still no need to root.
But if you were going to root, super one click would be the way.
Thank you

Also that Odin one click (JF6) doesn't work well with builds 1010 and later.

I think you can use the full Odin and flash a stock firmware. If you are GB bootloaders you will have to flash back to froyo/eclair bootloaders... which, flashing btldrs is not necessarily safe, just keep the cat and dog out of the room so they don't rip the cord out mid flash
