[Q] at&t Samsung Captivate 2.2 unlock without SIM

Hi All,
I am trying to unlock a brand new at&t locked samsung captivate. Details:
Model - Samsung-SGH-I897
Firmware - 2.2
Kernel - 2.6.32.9
Build - FROYO.UCKB2
I have the USB debugging enabled and *#7465625# gives me Network Lock [ON].
I don't have at&t sim so was trying to follow --> 1) This <-- and --> 2) This <-- and --> 3) This <--.
And just now tried --> 4) This too <-- and this is the farthest I have reached till now.
But I am facing problems.
1) When Generate_Code.bat is run it gives this:
Code:
Copy nv_data.bin
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
failed to copy '/efs/nv_data.bin' to './nv_data.bin': Permission denied
Extract code
2) When SuperOneClick is run and Root button is clicked then it halts at:
Rooting device... -Step #7 WaitForDevice 0.15s
and then it stops responding.
3) I have android-sdk-windows on my machine and its in the env path. When I do "adb shell" I get a "$" prompt. But when I do "su" it says "su: Not Found".
So I am not able to use this method too.
4) When followed the steps my phone rebooted and I can see the Android system recovery screen. I selected the "Reinstall Packages" from the menu but then it says:
E: Signature Verification Failed
Installation Aborted.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So till now this is also not working. I am still looking.
Is there anything that I am missing? (I am still reading)
Is it possible to unlock 2.2 without root and without at&t sim?
Is it possible to root 2.2 with SuperOneClick with the default settings?
Thanks

I don't know anything about unlocking, but the errors you are getting are because you are not rooted. I would try another method for getting root and then try again.

Do you have USB debugging turned on?

I am still reading more about different methods to get root and will try it tonight and yes I have USB debugging on.
I was just wondering if I would be able to do it without getting root but if that is the only way, I will have to do that...!!

You need root to unlock your device. Current method which you are using (Super One Click) is unable to root your phone. Try another method, may be Galaxy S One Click root. I haven't rooted Stock Froyo (KB1 or KB2) so I'm not sure which method will surely work.
Once you are rooted, try again with unlocking methods. And yes, you should be able to unlock without AT&T SIM.

Now I have tried Captivate One Click Root also and this is the farthest I have gone till now. This link explains correctly but now when my phone reboots and I do a Reinstall Packages - it says
E:signature verification failed. Installation Aborted.

So still looking...

Problems with rooting

I followed dr ketan's guide to root my Note. When I ran the BAT file, it went until the following place and stopped:
--- STARTING ---
--- WAITING FOR DEVICE ---
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
Waited for about 15 minutes, but nothing happened. So I removed the cable, connected back and tried again. The bat file will now stop at the line:
--- STARTING ---
--- WAITING FOR DEVICE
Tried disconnecting and connecting again with the same result. What could have gone wrong?
I've installed Samsung Keys on PC and the kernel version is 2.6.35.7-N7000DDLA5-CL919506 [email protected] #2, if that makes any sense.

Did you enable allow unknown sources and also under development enable USB debugging? I am running ICS, so can't look it up exactly. Check that once if not then you may want to temporarily disable firewall etc to allow the script to finish.
Hope this helps.

Yes, I've enabled both. You think it may be a firewall settings problem? I don't have admin rights to change them in this computer.

You have used my guide, but have you read it properly?
My guide starts from page Rootable n Non rootable ROM.
Your ROM is LA5 which is nonrootable
If you have not downloaded my recent guide, just download it from last link on my signature, follow it. it will answer all your questions.

Sigh. I've always been bad at following guidelines.
It seems the only option is to downgrade first. Anyway having to stop the firewall and antivirus is also a problem coz I don't have access to a Windows machine with admin rights. Will see.
Thanks a lot!

does anyone know how to remove a preinstalled app, my tablet is rooted i just dont know how to remove a preinstalled app? any ideas?

back it up first. Then freeze it. Reboot. If all is well for a few days, you may then uninstall, I reckon, but you don't really need to as freezing is enough.

no need for flash mode with x8toolbox, you just connect it without doing anything, with usb debuging on

Do the "factory reset". Erasing all data of course...

To try factory reset from recovery menu
1. turn off the phone
2. press vol down + power
3. waiting vibrate 2 times and release button
4. choose wipe data/factory reset
after that re-root again
don't forget setting debugging mode
before root.
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app

First step would be to disconnect any other Android device.
Second one, put the phone to Airplane mode, you can do with some patience even with the SystemBackup.apk installed. Switch USB mode to "charging only".
If that doesn't help, you can still do a reset.

Do you have the Android SDK installed and are you running the root.bat as an Administrator?

Sorry @XperiaPlayer but, I don't have the Android SDK installed, and my root goes perfect...
You're sure that matters?
Regards

Shift + right click the folder where the root.bat is located and type adb devices (or adb.exe devices) and paste the output here.

Cant install the recovery plz help

I've returned my phone to factory setting n i use the towelroot succesfully. I tried 3 diffrent superuser app. But when i open cmd box and press 1, it just writing daemon not running. starting it now port 5037 * daemon started successfully. There is no change on my phone ( do you allow this or etc)
i checked usb debbugging.
I think the problem is on superuser app.
On superuser of clockworkmod, i try to install but the phone is restarting. On superuser of chainsDD, there is no change.
Plz help me guys
