Have you tried sgs unlocker?

Yes, I unlocked my Phone on Android 2.1 EClair and it is still unlocked on 2.2.1 JPU. These are not iPhones, therefore they do not require a hack.. Hell samsung stores the unlock code on your phone!

SGS Unlocker says to me:
"Sorry no codes found
File not found: Do you have a Samsung Galaxy S?"

I think you need to have root for the unlock to work in Froyo. If possible dowgrade to Eclair, unlock and upgrade back to Froyo ... or get root in Froyo first.

Its probably unlocked, have you tried another sim on it yet?

In settings, there is Location & Security, & you find Set up SIM card lock. HAVE YOU DONE THAT? Verify.

When you put in another SIM, is it asking for a PIN to use phone?

sorry for my bad english.
I put in my other sim card and first it asks me for a pin. So I enter the pin and the it asks me for a "network- unlock code" (i think that's what it's called in english).

Is this a used phone you bought?

I think the original owner put a SIM lock code on it. Worst case, you bought a stolen phone.

If you can put the phone to download mode, why dont you try flashing a 2.1 ROM? See if it works.

I bought this phone with a contract from "3"-Austria. I'm the first owner.
So now I want to go to Poland to visit my family and put in another sim card.
The usual Pin it asks me I enter sucessfully and then it pops up this messege:
"Siim network unlock Pin".......
-->I think this is the code I need.
When i enter *#7465625#
it says: --> Network Lock [ON]

Try this thread, & ask the developer if he can help you.

you should try what i suggested. the link i posted comes from the the app sgs unlock. try pressing the menu on sgs unlock app and choose generate NV_Data.bin it will lead you to the link i posted earlier.
the tutorial will replace the files that locks your phone. thats why you should make a back up on your /efs folder for warranty or emergency concern.
tried it successfully with 2.2

SGS phones can be unlocked very easily and free.
First get root (if you don't already have it) and then start reading this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045
This is the safest way AFAIK.

Firstly you will need to enable side-loading applications (that is, enable installation of non-market applications). You find this in Settings > Applications > Development (from memory - it's something like that).
Then you will need to install z4root, probably by clicking on the .apk file you downloaded. After that, it will appear as a program in your launcher. Run it, and click the button to root your phone. There have been reports of it not working on 2.2.1 firmware, but on 2.2 you should be fine.
Once z4root has done its thing, you should be able to install the unlocker, and run that one too. Sorry, I can't help you too much with this one - my phone was unlocked to start with - just make sure you follow the instructions carefully and you should be OK.

hi again i tried this and when i put my vodafone simm in it says no network coverage but when i type in
*#7465625# (View Phone Lock Status)
it says all are off
but i cant get my simm to register any help again ,..cheers

Use superoneclick. Root the phone and then unlock it.

Try this
#7465625*638*Unlock code#

i used BWolf56's advice and superoneclick (by CLShortFuse) rooted my captivate but didnt unlock it because i had already updated from eclair to froyo. I tried to hex edit using NovaChief's instructions on the thread

-(thread Posted by manojsuper) but this method was way over my head (im a noob.)
I used helroz's unlock without code program(galaxy_s unlock) and it worked with wifi connection without a sim. after unlocking i went to my phone dialer and pressed *#7465625# and it said unlocked. then i put my chinese sim in and it worked like magic.
i feel your pain. stick with it and you will get it done.
maybe my experience will be of some help. you can read my thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062078
dont forget to thanks the guys and donate to the developers of the programs.
also i think you need busybox and wifi connection to use helroz's program which is fricken awesome. and BWolf56, thanks again.

u dont need an AT&T sim...even i opened my captivate here in India (no AT&T)...i booted it up...rooted it...used one click root and one click unlock...it gave me the code...as simple as that!

where did you get one click root and one click unlock? ive tried the super one click and it said pass word blocked

There's an app on the market called "Galaxy_S Unlock". It works without a SIM. I just used it on the refurb I got last night. It's a 1012 build, that came with UCKB2. Worked like a champ. I put an old T-Mobile SIM card in it to test it and it picked up a signal and showed T-Mobile in the notification area.

Is your phone rooted? That would be the first step.
Also, would need to know what ROM/version you're running.

What is your operator on what phone is locked?
Sim unlock codes are usualy around 10$ or so, but since cappy is rly common phone probably there are sites with free calculator you time your imei and you got unlock code. you will get your imei with type *#06# on your dialer. . Google to try find free calculator or if there is not then you will have to pay but it's not much. I know for s2 i unlocked for free. there is even application on gplay for s2 unlock also i saw apk for s1 (big chance that cappy is included in this program) I suggest you to try this first, you cant lose anything cuz program will gief you right code if it avalible or it will not gief you anything so you can't type wrong code to many time and lock the phone totaly.
Also i think hard reset , reset trys. not 100% sure.

[Q] Galaxy Ace Unlocking and Stock Rom Problem

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.
Thanks again for your attempt at helping and your quick reply:good:

Of course i clicked install after. I ended up getting pro version to install smart install to ensure no problems and it didn't work.

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

Reflash the stock rom with odin and remod it.
