I bought Captivate by paying all the equipment cost because AT&T told me that they will unlock it whenever I will have to go out of US. They did give me the code but it did not work. After 2 days when I called customer care and they said they dont have the code, but when I told them that I was given the unlock code 2 days back they asked me to spell out the code and then they said yes it is the code. I tried the code with the customer care but it did not work. Then I tried the method showed on youtube (generate_codes.bat, sgux.exe) but I get the
failed to copy '/efs/nv_data.bin' to './nv_data.bin': Permission denied
Error: unable to find file nv_data.bin>
Phone details: Firmware 2.1Update1

I see my 550$ going waste Please HELP!
I have already tried 8 times and there are only 2 attempts left. Please help else I will lose all my money becaues I do not reside in US and I need to use this phone in my country.
Thanks

if you haven't flashed any ROMs, here is what you can do. go to market then search for SGS unlock, install and run it, it'll give you the code. thats how i unlocked mine. write the both codes down just in case.
No I have done nothing. It is just 6 weeks old phone. Same as what was delivered by AT&T. I did not play around with anything (like rooting, or installing beta Froyo)

I have already tried SGS Unlock. It says it did not find any codes.

try dial *2767*3855# the phone will hard reset, then try it again. i didnt have any problems unlocking my phone by using SGS unlock, have flashed some stock ROMs in the past few days and didnt have issue at all.
I think the JH7 update screwed up the easy retrieval of the unlock code.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789888
There's some info about a possible work around in there, but the guy who came up with it is apparently French and the translation to English is a little rough.
and to the OP ... my code was all numeric, so not sure why you would have had to 'spell' it to the AT&T rep.

if you have not done anything on it, i'm assuning that you haven't rooted it yet. if thats the case, get z4root from market and root your phone. then use SGS unlock to get code, choose root-code option.
It is possible that your nv_data.bin is encrypted - the only way to know is to root the phone, and view it with a hex editor. If it is encrypted, there is a web tool posted in the dev section (search 2.2 unlock) that will take the nv_data.bin and rebuild it with whatever unlock code you want.
Did you upgrade to Update1 from AT&T? I did software update from phone and it updated the version 2.1 Update1.
I have tried it after doing the upgrade and SGS Unlocker is not working.
What does hard-reset mean? Does it mean "Restor to Factory Defaults"? If yes, I can do it through standard menu entry in settings? Is this different from the method you gave? Will hard-reset reset the 10-maximum-attempts-to-unlock counter?
Thanks for replying!
No. I have not done any ROM flashing.

hard reset = master clear on odin. it wipes out everything on your phone even SDcard. it is different to the standard menu factory rest. and i'm not sure if it'll reset the 10 max counter though.

Since there are only 2 attempts left for me to unlock Captivate, what will happen if I exhaust all 10 tries? I read somewhere that it will hard-lock or freeze. Can this hard-lock be reversed? Is freeze unlock code used to reset the counter?

If it does hard lock? Then you would need to take it to an AT&T shop.
Have you tried CLShortFuse's one-click root program? I haven't tried the Captivate unlock feature - but my guess is it should give you the unlock code.
You can get it here.
I have the same software on my phone as the OP. I got the phone unlocked by using the root method of SGS. Now how did I root the phone? Someone recommended the one click root method found inside the One Click Lag Fix found in the market.
So, to recap. I got the One Click Lag Fix app. Used the one click root method. Got the phone rooted (it is a couple of steps actually - you still have to update on recovery). Now that you have superuser status, used the SGS app to search unlock code using the rooted phone method. It will show the unlock code (mine had 8 numbers). Hope this helps.
PS: For anyone reading this, AT&T DOES NOT have the unlock codes yet. Any rep that promises that you will be getting an unlock code soon is not really telling the whole truth. All it shows on their side is that unlock codes unavailable but it does not shows when they will become available. I think I read somewhere that there is a 10 months exclusivity on the Captivate (starting when it first came to AT&T, which is this last July).

One more time - this is from experience:
If the nv_data.bin file is encrypted and unlock code doesn't work or can't be found you need to rebuild the nv_data.bin file. Period.
There are instructions in the Dev section under a thread titled 2.2 unlock.
If you use all 10 attempts - the phone needs to be sent to a service center to do a low level restore - usually Samsung not AT&T.
Hi, First off all, i've searched the whole day after solutions before posting this tread... So be helpfull please.
So, after I Flashed, rooted and updated my Galaxy note GT-N7000 to android 4.2.2 it worked nice for a couple of hours... and then suddenly i lost connectivity. i restarted and the phone didn't ask my pin nr... So after some research i saw that my IMEI was changed to "004999010640000/01"
That could be the possible reason why my phone doesn't detect any sim card anymore.
Anyway, i've done a lot of things to solve it today, even a downgrade to 4.1.2
Things i've tried:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
http://gsm-fahim.blogspot.be/2013/02/samsung-android-repair-efs-imei-repair.html
and some other things... But none of them helped... :s
Can someone help me out please? :s
Phone specs:
Galaxy Note GT-N7000
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband: N7000XXLSO
Buildnr: JZO54K.N7000XLSZ
i would love it if my phone would be fully restored to zero, so it would be like, brand new from the box...
Greetings!
You have a so called "developer IMEI" now. In official TW Roms there seems to be a check in android.policy.jar for the pin. And so you do not get the SIM pin dialog.
This happened many times and so a lot of times this question has been answered and the workarounds, solutions etc. are posted.
So why not search a little more (like "cvxcvx").
Simply try to change the Pin in Settings (new Pin=old Pin should work) and you should have network connection.

Hi, thank you for the response.
I've been trying that too, but i can't seem to find that setting anymore .
unlikely i didnt think about the fact that this would restore my pin... :/
[Edit]
I've found, rarely, yesterday i didnt, how to change pin codes... And its works... but doesn't solve the problem of the IMEI.
And when i restart the phone, i need to change my pin again to get connection... Can someone solve this? :/

i have the same problem but i never get connection.., how can i change my pin code ?
if you use a TW ROM based on XXLT4,5,... you can try the android.policy.jar from my old XXLSC dump. This works for me.

Hey Guys
Sorry if this question has been asked before. I've searched all over but not found any solution though.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830V. I previously bricked it and restored stock firmware and now when i turn on my device it says Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830I. The problem with this is that i now wanted to unlock my phone and when i use the Vodafone Unlock Tool (found by searching "vodafone unlock tool") and when i enter the unlock code into the Network Unlock thingy it says "Network Unlock Unsuccessful". I think that the problem is because the unlock tool says its for GT-S5830V and my firmware has changed to GT-S5830I. Please, does anyone know where to find the stock firmware for GT-S5830V or is there a way i can FULLY restore my phone to when i bought it instead of just wiping all the apps off (because all it does it wipes all the apps off and doesn't actually "restore to factory defaults")
Please correct me if my understanding of the problem is wrong and if somehow i can get my hands on another unlock code without paying some weird "unlock your phone here" website.
Thanks in advance

I tried doing the solution on that link and it didn't work. so i clicked on the link that was on that post that said improved method and i got everything right until the hex editing where the hex search didn't work so i couldn't find the code.
Does anyone else have any ideas? I had to pay another $20 on vodafone so i can still call and text so at the moment my new sim is just a waste of money so i desperately need a solution.

Try to follow this video. As per the video, if you get "or or or" error, run Smart install again on BusyBox. If that doesn't work, I also found a site on the comments of this video. It seems the site unlocks any phone & it's free cause they run on user donations. I have no personal experience with this site, so use at your own caution.

I think that when you re-flashed the rom from brick the phone got network unlocked. Did you try another sim before trying to unlock it?

Yes i tried with Amaysim.
I got a reply from Vodafone and they supplied me with a master reset code. I followed the method provided and when I entered the reset code into the phone keypad, it said "Mobile Network not Available". I guess I just have to take it to Vodafone to get it unlocked. Will they unlock a rooted phone or will they not accept it? If they wont then i can just unroot it.
Guys I found a confusing solution. While on my way to Vodafone I unrooted my device just in case they didn't allow rooted devices. Once i got there the guy must of thought i did something wrong with the unlock code so he decided to get the unlock code for me. Once he got the unlock code he switched the sim cards to enter the code but strangely we were not prompted to enter the code and the sim just worked. I rooted my device again to see if that was the problem and I was prompted to enter the unlock code so it was so i unrooted it again. But unfortunately nothing seems to go right for me now and now I can only connect to wi-fi if my device is rooted. If i try to connect while unrooted it will attempt to obtain the ip address for a while until it gives up and says the network is disabled. Does anyone happen to know a solution to this problem?
Thank you to everyone who tried to help

Hi everyone!
I bought recently a new galaxy s advanced and for some weird reason i can't make calls, can't text and can't receive anything. But i can unlock my sim without any problem and i can use mobile internet.
I had first the original gingerbread rom (i9070XXLK2), rupgraded it to 4.1.2 jelly bean(i9070XXLQE), rooted it, upgraded the kernel to this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140597 and after that tried a cyanogen rom(this one => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497660 ), went after the cyanogen back to the 4.1.2 but nothing works.
atm it is running original 4.1.2 rooted and cwm.
I also tried galaxSim but it doesn't support the galaxy s advanced, also the *#simlock# thing does not work. I am not sure there is a simlock on the phone because mobile internet works.
If you need more info just ask! Not really sure what information you need to know.
I have no idea what to do now, i hope some1 can help me.

You must do Factory reset when you change ROM. Do it now.
Do you have I9070 or I9070P? On CM you do not have network unless you change tee folder if your phone is I9070P.

I have factory resetted it 3 or 4 times (after every rom flash).
It's an I9070, not the P one.
If some1 tries to call me they hear an automated message tape thing that says my number is blocked and i need to call my provider.
I did call my provider and there is nothing blocking my number or the phone.
When i put my sim in another phone everything works fine so the issue must be in the phone itself.

I tried 3 different SIM's but all from the same provider, i am going to visit a friend tomorrow to lend his SIM (he has another provider). I wiped dalvik cache every time i factory resetted it (after every rom flash)
Is it possible there is a piece of hardware in the phone blocking the calls and the messages?
Found out something new, if i do phone (the app) => call settings => additional settings, i get a message saying "network or sim card error".
I am searching for an hour now for a fix but i can't find anything. I will keep searching for another couple of hours, i really want to fix this.

I don't know, as far i can see there is no sign of a provider/region lock. During boot no logo from a provider, sim can be unlocked when it asks for my PIN.

it was brand new in a sealed box and as far as i know i don't have warranty.

I am not sure how is it in your country about that. You can go to some service center to see if the phone is locked to some carrier.
I just tried to check the binary counter, but as far as i can see it didn't move during the flashes and looks original
When i go in download mode i get this:
Odin mode
Product name: GT-I9070
Custom binary download: no
current binary: samsung official
I think this means it got still warranty?
If it is, i'm going to put back jelly bean on it and try to send it back to samsung, is there a chance they will fix it and won't find out i messed with it?

Yes, just go back to JB and you are good to go. And you can uninstall app that need root if you have any.

Sad news, the phone is back from RMA and there is a simlock on it, but the problem is i can't find a method to remove it 4 free (don't want to pay even more for the damn thing). I am going to a shop from the original carrier over a couple of days(i know which carrier simlocked the crap out of it and they have shops not really far from here) but i am not sure they unlock it for free, and tbh the people that work there probably have no clue how to do it, so i don't have a lot of hope for that so i want to try it first myself if that's possible, but i tried already a couple of things and none of them works. Anyone an idea how i can remove it?

Anyone an idea how i can remove it?

I did not see anyone that unlocked sgsa here on the forum… And I did not see any guide about it for our device.

I was afraid of that, thanks to confirm. Went to the carrier which locked the phone and they said it is illegal to unlock it, which isn't true of course (checked it everywhere and it is legal) I will find a way to fix it with the carrier, thanks for the help.
