[Q] Unlock code and flashing

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

[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.

[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.

[Q] Updating unlocked captivate to ICS questions

Hello,
I just rooted and unlocked my samsumg captivate using the Galaxy_S Unlock tool by Helroz. My phone is currently on official 2.3 and unlocked. I wanted to install a custom rom such as dark night but was wondering if I will lose my unlock and if so can i still use the Galaxy_S Unlock tool to re-unlock it?
Last, what is the most stable custom ICS rom available. Thanks!
Once unlocked its unlocked for ever what ever ROM u flash it will not effect it.
Thank you!

[Q] Quick unlock question

Hi. I am trying to unlock my daughter's i9000 and update the ROM. She is currently running a custom 2.3.3 ROM and is using Galaxy_S Unlock from the Play Store to unlock.
I have been reading up on Galaxy_S Unlock after upgrading her phone to LiquidSmooth 4.2.2 and finding out that Galaxy_S Unlock doesn't work.
I've found out that, apparently, Galaxy_S Unlock only works up to 4.1.2.
Can anyone confirm this?
If so, can anyone recommend a good, stable ROM for general use?
TA!
