Well, you may think this is normal, but not for me. Yes, i recognized it, I'm a noob, that's why my post. Recently I install in my cellphone a new rom (Nostalgia M4V5-3 Deluxe), but since then i got no service in my phone. I had bought an unlock code because I don't live in USA. So, i saw this post :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045... i made exactly what it says, my surprice was that apparently my Captivate was already unlock (in the line doesn't appear a "01"), so, i prove to lock and test the code that I bought... doesn't work.... unlocked it, but i have the same problem... can you give me a clue?? should I get back to the stock froyo and try the code i bought??? Thanks to all sincerely...

Hi xda,
Before i purchase my Captivate from Rogers, im wondering if its possible to unlock the phone. Reason for this is because im with Fido, and i need the phone unlocked to use it.
I'm just wondering if there is anyone out there who unlocked their Rogers Captivate.
Many thanks,
Kon

Has anyone tried it??
I have tried a couple different ways. Nothing seems to be working for the I896
I have as well and can't seem to do it I paid for an unlock code as well but doesn't seem to work.although I haven't tried with a sim card in yet.things aren't looking so good... Theres another method on here for a permanent unlock but I'm leary on trying that yet, I've skimmed the phone trying to find anything and nothing too promising.

This phone works on rogers/fido. Rogers lock their phones on all carriers except fido because it's their child company. I've been using it on fido since launch day 2 weeks ago.

I am using this phone (from Rogers) on Fido. However i still want to unlock it since i travel a bit and want to use local companies too...
Anyone managed to unlock it??? do the "pay" websites really unlock it or are they scams?

Just unlocked mine. First had to root it then used universal SIM unlock method by miztaken1312 (sorry, can't post the link yet).
The one click unlock will NOT work, Rogers cleaned up their firmware, so the unlock code is no longer stored on the phone itself. However, miztaken1312 method modifies one of the system files on the phone to store the unlock code of your choice. Basically, after you set up ADB and root your phone you download a special system file from the phone, patch it using special online utility, upload the modified file back to the phone and now you know the unlock code.
Update: in case someone is still looking for info on how to unlock Rogers Samsung Galaxy S Captivate SGH-I896, here's the link to the site I used: http://www.communityhosting.net/sgsunlock/
Root your phone first with z4root app from the market, then backup and make sure to follow these steps carefully!
Hello;
I bought an unlocked Samsung Captivate from Ebay,
when i got the phone it was unlocked and used it for a while.
(got it 9 days ago).
I tried to update the phone once but I forgot to change the
"update.zip" file with the newer that I got from here
then the phone became locked again. I tought it was a problem with the rom so I burnt another room on it(cogniton 2.2 with hebrew on it). The phone is working but its unlocked. I tried unlocking it with the software named "terminal Emulator" and got 8 digits codes (numbers only) I wrote it down. then inserted my simcard and tried the code twice (it said that the unlocking was unseccusfull. I stopped trying to insert the code
(I heard it can get bricked but i didnt know how many times do i need to try untill its getting bricked). I got no idea how to open it up. please help me,
Thank you.
for any other questions that might help you... post it and i will answer. (I live in Israel and I cant get to At&t's lab to fix it)

if you search in the Q&A section of the forum, there is a thread devoted to unlocking captivates. This is the Dev section, devoted to development of new roms/kernels/etc. I was literally just looking at the thread moments ago, I just don't have the URL handy. go to Q&A and search unlock and you should have all your problems solved.
I don't know the answer, but you might be more successful if you poet questions in the Q&A forum. Good luck.

No.The Rooting/ROMing is not the same as SIM/Network/Subsidy unlock.
I have had good sucess with codes from GSMLiberty.net.
Process:
1- Buy an "unlock code" (you need the network the phone is locked to as well as the phone IMEI number (look under the battery).
2- Put in NEW SIM
3- At code prompt, type the number that gsmliberty.net gives you (or another site, I am just speaking from experience).
Voila! Unlocked phone. You can then keep the stock ROM or move on to rooting/installing a new ROM if you want.
Wiping the phone and installing new ROMs has no effect on the unlock. You are OK.
So, basically, I got a new pay-as-you-go SIM and I don't want to buy a new phone for it. I was looking for methods to unlock my current galaxy ace, it's rooted and I have a custom ROM on it- The Ultimatum by The "A" Factor. I got my unlock codes and put the SIM in expecting to get a screen saying phone is locked, please put in unlock code or something similar that usually happens. However nothing came up but when the phone finished booting, I had no service and can't use it for calls or anything which suggests that the phone is still locked, I tried using the *#7465525# service code, but I got an error saying no service or incorrect MUDI code or something like that. Is it possible that flashing a new ROM wiped the unlocking procedures and is there anyway for me to know if my phone is unlocked and if not, can I still unlock it?

Didn't show you nothing to introduce the code?¿
... try introducing another SIM from other carrier... when you boot then automatically should ask you to introduce the unlock code
If it doesn't work you could phone to the device's carrier, the carrier must help you if you finished your contract

I do have another SIM from another carrier, but the screen isn't showing up, I've been scouring the internet and found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335548 , turns out it won't show because of my ROM, so I'll have to switch to stock like you said, before I do that though I'll try that code he said at the end to see if it will unlock. Thanks :good:

ok! be carefull with this stuff, you could brick your device if you do something wrong, if I were you I'd phone my carrier to avoid any kind of trouble (if I'd had my contract finished)
Good luck mate!
Hi guys, I'm trying to unlock my S3 Mini and I'm having no luck so far. I've managed to root the phone using the iRoot (former Vroot) program and it worked nicely. At least it seems it did, now it does ask me to give su eprmissions to allpications and busybox is installed.
As for the unlocking itself, I tried several methods. Firstly, there was some service menu, accessible by a long string of numbers on the dialer, then going to network lock menu and setting something there, but the menu isn't there. Or better said, when I come to the Network Lock, it says only Not Active and no further options available. Then I tried the GalaxSim Unlock just to see, but as it said in the notes, this version of phone is not supported and so it didn't work. Same with another app, Galaxy S Unlock, or something like that. That one needs busybox, so I installed the 1.22 I think, but it says that there is a problem with busybox or something. It does say in the notes, that recommended is 1.17 busybox, so I keep that as a backup hope but it seems again, that the phone is not supported...
So basically, I have a rooted S3 Mini, that is still locked to T-mobile. I'm not sure, whether the country of origin matters here, but I think it was purchased in Austria (I am not the first owner) and need to unlock it for slovak O2. So far I am actually very happy with it's stock ROM, so I'm not planning to flash it completely, just sim unlock. So if anyone has any idea, what I can do to avoid going to a phone service and have it done for money, I'd appreciate it.
