[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!

I am noob in custom rom......but i read your post and flash rom with this "telus S5830D rom" and my phone in now locked............my mobile was totally unlocked before I tried this.
i didnt read that this is post is only who have Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830D from Kooodo Mobile.
plz help how to unlock my phone now
MODEL : GALAXY ACE S5830
IMEI : 354890047491572

Do you mean it is network locked and your sim doesn't work? If so, make sure your phone has root and busybox installed, download galaxy ace unlock from the Play store. Click here for link ------> Unlock . It worked for me, but you do at your own risk.

Problem with unlock and EFS Folder

Hi i bought an Simlocked S3 Mini with crashed LCD.
Then i repaired it and flashed new Stock rom for provider A1 from Austria over it. Then i saw the Pre Rooted Rom i flashed it and Rootet my phone.
Then i wanted to unlock it via the Service menu but no Network lock Menu was there. So i flashed Dmod rom and hoped it will be unlocked, because in my galaxy note i only flashed pre rootet rom did Triangle away and flashed a Custom rom and had no simlock. Same on the htc Desire from my girlfriend, after flashing Custom rom no simlock. But s3 mini flashing custom rom simlock stayed.
Now i looked for the nv_data.bin method did not work then i wanted to make it with the nv_core.bak but in my efs folder there is no file named like that?!
What can i do? i have no warranty on this phone. i mean real warranty ^^ because i bought it. i can use it only with a1 sim.
Thx for help or other instructions. greetz tom

Have you tried to flash other official firmware throught ODIN?

Yes i flashed Stock Roms with odin to geht the EFS folder rebuild but always same. i flashed the DBT Germany Rom the Open Austria rom then the Stock Provider rom nothing.. what can i do now?

its pay in some dedicate web for your network unlock code.

Ah like on Sammobile? i choose model and type in the imdi number and then get the unlock code? then i have to put in another Sim and when network lock pops up i give that code in therE? is that then a Permanent unlock or will i loose the unlock after flashing a new rom or making a Factory Reset?
Hope u can answer this Question.

The FIRST thing you have to do after anything is to backup your EFS folder...

I did. Yesterday i then shut down phone. it shuttet down in split second and then today i wanted to start it but nothing happened.
I cant start it and no recovery and no download mode. if i plug it in to a/c nothing. nice ****ing bricked phone.
first phone which is bricked for me....... man or is it only a security shutdown?

[Q] Unlock or root s3 mini gt-18190N

Hi guys...
Does someone have a s3 mini GT-18190N, and it success to root or unlock?
Better to say, i need to unlock my phone, how to do it?
On the other way, If there is not a free way to unlock phone, IF then I root and put some custom rom on my phone will it be unlocked by default?
And the final question, does custom roms (on this site) also working for my gt-18190N version or just for GT-18190 ???
Thanks,
nice regards

hi
i suppose u are talking about Sim Unlock? right?
and not bootloader unlock,
normally just unlock means to unloack bootloader to be able to flash custom recowery, thatway you can also root and install custom roms....
sim unlock on the other hands, you can do it also without root etc... but you need code from your operator, or u have to purchase one online cca 20$
and i have no idea if there is other way, or if anybodes did it...
