Guidelines needed - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi:
I’ve read a lot about my problem but as there is so much information I, as a beginner, need some help.
My phone is blocked to the operator and I need to unlock it.
What have I learn:
a) I need to put it in root mode (tried the 3 button combo and works).
b) I need odin, any version?
c) I need files to download, which ones?
d) I run app Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock (already installed)
e) With code and “wrong” SIM card unlock the device.
Device data:
PDA: I9100XWKI4
Phone: I9100XXKI1
CSC: I9100TMNKI1
Android : 2.3.4

[Q] Galaxy S GT-I9000T Latin - "Network lock" screen

Hey!
So I used the android SGS unlock app on my Galaxy S GT-I9000T Latin (2.1), and it gave me an unlock code no problem. But when I reboot it with my Rogers (canada) sim card in, it shows me a "network lock" screen with just one "dismiss" button. No option to enter the unlock code.
Anybody know how to get the unlock screen to show on this model?
Thanks for the help, dudes.
Update: tried the *7465625*638*# thing, nothing happens.
I am experiencing the same problem...
I am experiencing the same problem with the same phone on Claro Puerto Rico provider...if you have solved the problem please post how. Thank you!
unable to input inlock code for I9000T
​I cannot input the code i al;so have a i9000t from claro pr. If someone knows the method please let me know. Thanks in advance
Same problem, same phone, Mexico Telcel :-(

Any ideas?
Thanks to vnamee and helroz for detailled instructions for the Samsung Vibrant Firmware JI6, Just did this on my GT-I9000T and it works great.
Here are the steps to perform the unlock:
You will need root and busybox and something to edit the root, such as Root Explorer or ADB, I used Super Manager, You will need Java on your PC as well.
1) Copy the EFS folder with Root Explorer or ADB to back up
2) In /efs, delete:
nv_data.bin.md5
.nv_data.bak (you may not have this)
.nv_data.bak.md5 (you may not have this)
nv_data.JPC (you may not have this)
nv_data.JPC.md5 (you may not have this)
.nv2.bak (you may not have this)
.nv2.bak.md5 (you may not have this)
3) Reboot your phone and navigate to /efs to see if nv_data.bin.md5 is created. If it is, you are good to go. If you go there right after the phone boots, it may not have been created yet.
4) Put your phone in USB debug mode and connect via USB to computer.
5) Run step 2.bat (this will extract nv_data.bin to your computer)
6) Run reparation_nv_data.jar (I guess you just enter any 8 digit number in the boxes that will be your unlock code. I had entered '00000000'.
7) Run Step 4.bat (this will upload the files to your phone. Make sure the phone is on and when you run it, make sure to keep pressing 'allow' so the program has root access to push the files to your root).
8) After this is done, you can answer 'n' if there were no errors and it should reboot your phone. Phone should be unlocked.
How can be possible that i can be root in the phone shell and apps, but when i want to su in ADB, i get Permission Denied?
Because of this i can't execute successfully .bat scripts...

That's happening because you probably haven't rooted the phone yet. Thats why you are getting permission denied. Use 4zroot, thats the easiest way to root it.
where is the script
I have the same problem and I tried everything except this script that I don't find.
Please can you tell me where it is ?
still Network lock
I just try the script and still lock. Is this phone locked for ever ? Is that possible ?
Should I try to install a new system on the ROM ?
Network Lock [OFF]
I have
Network Lock [OFF]
but I still can't unlock it.
step 2, step4
After I choose "Wipe cache partition" then I reboot and still "Network Lock" with one choice: Dismiss
I have tried Galaxy S Unlock and SGS Unlock Tool (Pro also), superuser BusyBox, what else...
Why this is so different that what I see on the internet. Is the Telnet (Mexico) Samsung so efficiently locked by the company ?
Serious question: what's next option for me ?
Please help
thanks
Not working, something strange
After trying everything
I have something strange:
If I launch Galaxy S Unlock app
and ask to see Sim Unlock Code
I have a message box
in French(?)
Votre Réponse
Unlock code is: simunloc
Unfreeze code is: unfreeze
if you have FFFFFFFF code,
must use any step 2 for unlock
Something is then locking the phone network over regular code thing....
any idea ?
The GT-I9000T must have a other protection layer somewhere in the software (or hardware ?).
This screen with Network Lock Dismiss seems to be unique in this phone.
Is there a genius around able to find the trick ? Thank you.
Did you really unlock your phone with this ? It doesn't work for me. Telcel probably.
Only way to unlock Telcel's Samsung Android phone is to flash a new fw. The Sim lock is integrated in Telcels FW.
I had to flash my S5830L Galaxy Ace to insert a Movistar SIM.
Sorry - thats the only way.
guidance with flashin my samsung galaxy
Hey unu$ual I am mexican too. I have also tried to unlock to my telcel samsung galaxy s with no success... so far. I have rooted the device, installed the busybox app and Samsung_s unlock app. At the end of the procedure, when i tried with the *#7465625# command it says the Network lock is [off], but when i restart it the annoying message "Network locked, Dismiss" appears.
So, i think i want to follow your advice and I´ll have to flash it with a new fw. Any advice? I'd appreciate if you can share with me the software, firmware version that you used, and if possible the procedure.
Thanks in advance.
Peace up!

I have tried all that in different firmwares (including CyanogenMod) without success. (telcel i9000)
Network Lock
Anyone find a way to network unlock. I'm on Claro Guatemala and want to unlock and upgrade the ROM. I have the code but I get the famous "lock screen"
Which 3rd party firmware works on Telcel/Claro I9000T?
Ok, it's been a few months since the last post here, so I'll give it a try. I am ready to try a 3rd party firmware on my Claro I9000T but I would like to confirm which firmware works with full 3G+ AND gets rid of the network lock screen.
Has anyone been succesful?

There's an easy way
I just unlocked my galaxy s thanks to "galaxy s unlock" app found in the market.
It was easy and fast, also well explained. It doesn't even require any code, just a reboot. I had to reboot manually in order to access the phone after the automatic reboot and didn't have any problem to use an orange sim card 2 minutes after completion.
I am on I9000 froyo 2.2.1 (bought 2.1 10 days ago).
My phone was locked on bouygues telecom (french network).
Hope it works for you !
Unable to unlock at alll
Hi.. I tried unlocking using Generate Unlock Windows. But it always threw nv_data.bin not found error.
Then i saw this thread and tried with 2 apps on the market:
Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool
Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Froyo
but with both I was asked to root. I tried installing root through 'Update.zip' but it threw "update.zip e:signature varification failed" error
I am totally struck. Please help!!!!

Did you read the post#6 at all? Try reading again. You can not use update.zip files with 3e recovery. You need to be rooted to use these tools. So, again, try reading the link posted in post#6 again.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU AND HELROZ IS A GOD!!!
This totally worked for my Bell Samsung Vibrant GT-i9000M rooted with Superuser (from App store).
If anyone wants the official Bell unlock code it's 09182086, BUT it never worked for me even after 3 days of talking to customer service (over 6 hrs) and going to a Bell store. The number was verified 4 times by Bell.
One of the tech guys even gave me another code 62189513 but it also obviously didn't work for me, but it might for you.
If none of the codes work then use the app developed by Helroz and give him a donation as Bell and their $75 dollar unlock fee can kiss my [email protected]@.

Hi,
I have a question regarding my current Android Version and whether I can install CM 10.0 or not.

I have CWM installed, at least I have an app called CWM Manager v1.50 those this autmatically mean that I have root?
In the CWM Manager app it says "Current kernel: CF-Root 3.2" so i assume it is rooted right?
The reason why I ask is that this phone is from France even though I am from Germany, so it has this software branding of "Bouygues Telecom".
Can this lead to any problems?
Can I directly install CM 10.0 without installing 2.3.6?

Hi, I have japan galaxy S ( SC-02B).
To unlock this we need to put this from dial pad *7465625*638*# and a menu pops up to enter MNC/NCC code and secret code. After entering MNC/NCC of your network it will successfully lock to new network and you can use SIM card of that network. That method works for any network and phone use to remember the entered code, so you dont have to enter code everytime, just once is enough.
Recently i moved to cyanogenmod 10.1 with modem binary of sc-02b flashed.
Now i dont see any network and at every reboot it asks for SIM network unlock code.
Can anyone help unlocking or where to find this sim network unlock code.

How to wipe my Samsung SGS?

Hi,
I am new to this forum.
I bought a new Samsung SGS from Orange network UK which is locked.
I unlocked it in India and am using it.
I wanted to wipe off the memory as there are unnecessary apps installed.
If I do the wipe off will my mobile get locked or will it remain unlocked.
I also want to know how to wipe off the memory without getting my mobile locked..... Plzz do help me guys.............
One more thing ..........
My mobile firmware version is 2.1-update1
Baseband version is I9000BVJF3
Build number is ECLAIR.BVJG2
Can any one suggest me the themes that I can install in it and waht are they???
Hello,
Before you start flashing themes, Have a cruise around the forum and do some research regarding firmwares and flashing.
The first thing you need to do before any themes, is download a nice solid 2.2.1 firmware for your phone.
There is also a 2.3.3 that was just leaked, but is still in a late beta stage.
There's a ton of information on this forum. Take some time and do a bit of reading. You'll be flashing in no time.
ThankYou for your suggestion.
Sure I will go through the forum.
But just let me know one thing if I upgrade my SGS will it remain unlocked or will it be locked as I mentioned earlier that I unlocked it earlier.
It will stay unlocked.
After you unlocked it, check can you enter download mode press and hold volume down, menu, and lock-power button for 10-15 sec.
If you can't than you need to enter download mode on the phone from PC:
-Install Kies from official Samsung site(it has drivers).
-Download adbDownload attached to this post.
-Download Latest Firmware (with bootloader files).

Hello everybody!
I am new on the Samsung galaxy tab's world and I need your lights.
I bought from my Country the Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 with the below features:
PDA: P1000BUJMC
Phone: P1000BUJM2
CSC: P1000njRjm3
I followed your guide (showthread.php?t=888071) and the process was failed somewhere before the end.
After I followed some other guide and I use some other files from the thegalaxytabforum and from samfirmwares.com sites and after I see that my Tab features had been changed to the below:
PDA: P1000BUJMC
PHONE: P1000BUJM2
CSC: P1000VD2JM3.
Also I observe some changes on my Tab. These are:
a. The local settings has been changed to German.
b. After I used an application which I don't remember now, the functions keys light has been dissapeared.
c. I Listen a noise when I try to call.
So, I have some queries for you:
1.Which of the two process above is the correct?
2.How to reback my country's settings? Is there any secret code for it?
3.How to switch on the light on the menu,home, back and search keys?
4.How is the correct proccess to upgrade my tab firmware -if there is the correct firmware on my tab now-to android 3.0 -honeycomp like Samsung Galaxy tab 10.
5. What is the operation of PIT,PDA AND CSC files?
6.what is the difference between a protected and non protected bootloader?
7. Does PDA is the Bootloader?
8. Does the protected Bootloader mean that the phone is locked from the provider?
9.How to change a protected Bootloader with a non protected?
10.Are there different upgrades for the samsung galaxy tab for every country or not?
11.Can I find and download an other country upgrade for my tab? Is it right or not?
12.Can I fix the above problem with call? Is there any secret code to fix it?
I am waiting for your replies.
Friend, you didn't say what guide you were using, and what was your goal.
I will pass on all your other questions until we get the rom flashed properly.
You made a great profile!
Friend rangercaptain, I tried to install the Honeycomp or Android 3.0 on my Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000.
If you read again my thread you will see somewhere in the middle that I write for the xda-developers.com guide.Also, I write that I used files from thegalaxytabforum.com and samfirmware.com sites.
So, my problems are three:
1. I want to re-install the frist default settings on my Tab and I don't know where I can find these files on the internet.
2. I want to recover the functions keys light or better the light on the screen's menu.
3. I want after setup of First Default Settings , to install the Honeycomp on my Tab of 7 inches same like Samsung Galaxy Tab 10's firmware.
I believe that I explained you what is my goal and what I want to recover on my Tab.
Thank you for your reply and for your time.
I am waiting for your answers,
John
You can get JMC rom at www.samfirmware.com.
Although your country is Greece, what carrier is your tab from? Maybe there is a stock rom from your carrier.
friend my carrier is Vodafone GR.
Could I found something about it?
You can start a new thread asking someone to extract a backup of that carrier stock rom. Then you can flash it like any rom. Start the thread, and I'll help you.
Be sure to put the carrier in the title and be specific about what you want.
Thank you Rangercaptain!
So, If I find a person with the same Tab and with the same features I can take a full backup from this Tab?
How I can extract these files(PIT,PDA,PHONE,CSC) from this Tab?
Friend,
I did a mistake. My carrier is not Cosmote but Vodafone GR. I confused it with my second phone's carrier.
I posted an answer on your other thread.

[Q] To unlock Note it needs to be rooted?

Hi, guys!
Yeeey, I've got myself a white Samsung Galaxy Note. Lovely little thing. BUT, I am on Giffgaff (was/will have been), and the Note is locked to Vodafone. I am in the UK and it is for Vodafone UK. I checked and it won't accept any other card (T-Mobile, nor Giffgaff).. It is 2.3.6 Gingerbread.
Sooooo... I searched this forum and yes there a few threads that give solutions, but some of them aren't quite clear on whether certain method applies to this, other, or all countries...
My first question, before I as noob that I am attempt to unlock my Note, is "does the Note need to be rooted in order to unlock it using that one app that unlocks the Note?
And what is the simplest UK version?
Do I need to have a Vodafone sim too, before I can unlock the Note?
For some reason can't connect to my wifi (password in and all, but when it connects, then saving, then disabled), so how can i download the specific app on my laptop and then install it on the Note?
Thanks folks!
to release the notes no brand, you have to download a firmware stocks here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ ... Install Kies on your computer, connect your phone and make sure that all the drivers installed correctly.
Extract tar file from the ROM(remember to extract it till tar, dont go deep). Put the phone into download mode (vol. down+home+power buttons), Start odin, then only connect the phone via USB. Choose continue on the phone, Now ID:COM box shud turn yellow
Make sure that only two boxes are checked in odin - Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time.- If your downloaded ROM contains single file Choose PDA button in Odin and select tar file you extracted before. Download odin here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=771703&d=1320429195 ... - If your downloaded file contains multifiles Choose CODE in PDA, MODEM in PHONE, Multi CSC in CSC ... Choose START button.
The phone will reboot after the flash. Done. no matter you have permission of root
So, I have to root, no matter what? I was thinking there was a way of doing it (only the UNLOCKING part!) somehow less invasively...
Will this method you described, leave me with the Note as it is in terms of Gingerbread, apps installed, etc., minus of being unlocked and rooted?
If I'm gonna step into the territory of rooting my Note, why would I not go straight for the Rocket 4.1 Rom , or KingDroid whatever latest version for Note?
On these forums and da internet they seem to get most positive attention and reactions, no?
I'm in no rush (not a mater of hours, but I'd like to do it till Sunday evening), so I am willing to follow longer, safer way of doing stuff...
Anybody from the UK to voice their opinion?
Thanks...
Please install cooked rom if you want (es.cyanogen). with root permissions and recovery then follow this guide carefully : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 ..
