Hey everyone,
I have been trying to unlock my Captivate. It is firmware 2.2 and build number FROYO.UCJI6. I have tried the unlock on the android market and I tried the new way for 2.2 but I found it to be confusing and wasn't even able to complete teh adb pull part to get teh nv_data.bin file. Is there any online video tutorial for it? Or is there an online unlocker for liek 10 bucks who can unlock my phone using imei number or something?
Thank you!
You'll have to pay for it online unless you have a backup of your original stock. There are many sites online to do it, someone else may recommend one.
yep I am willing to pay to get it unlocked I just need a site that will be able to get the unlock code for the 2.2 version. this phone was bought straight from at&T and came with 2.2. I am trying to get it working in Canada on the telus network
i get to the point in adb where you type in adb pull /efs/nv_data.bin and it gives a bunch of information. but i dont know where the file you are supposed to upload to the Samsung Galaxy Unlocker site

It does not work after 2.2
thanks anyways. I stayed up and got it unlocked, and yes it can be unlocked if u are running 2.2
So... how'd you do it?
I'm new here in terms of posting but I've been lurking for some time now. The forum has helped me out countless amounts of times. Thanks for that btw!
I've had a little search around on the forum but I can't seem to get a (laymans) answer.
I want to flash back to Orange Branded firmware on my SGS but I can't seem to find the correct one. I have a 'stock' firmware on my phone at the moment but I'd like to go back to Orange Branded (before my boss finds out I've been messing about with the mobile again haha)
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

have you tried samfirmware.com ?
I have mate but I can't seem to find a Firmware for Orange UK :-(
back to orange
hello i found this site that has this program with all the firmware from different counties i checked and orange uk is in the list
go to site i will pm you the link and download the fus downloader
then open program choose phone model and region, then check firmware the download option will then come up
download and flash with odin or other flasher
thanks.
Could you share the link for all please, so others that wish to do the same can use it...
If you cant post a link just type dot in brackets or something
The website which i downloaded the program.
http://fus.nanzen.se/#GT-I9000
hope i helped
Thanks whlzibos.
It downloaded the firmware and appeared to flash it OK through Odin but then it brings up an error (Error in cache/recovery/sec_csc.zip) then it aborts.
Confusion!
Odin can be temperamental, have you tried a few times, with a couple of hours between, also possibly another computer?
Have you downloaded all files?
If you only have one, go inside that file and look for a csc folder, is there anything inside that folder? If its missing your probably missing another part
It's ok now. i've flashed the phone with Stock Firmware in the hope that Orange won't shaft me. The phone is returned and I've got a replacement now.
Hurrendous the amount of **** that comes on Orange SGS isn't it. Thank god I can hide all them crappy apps with launcherpro else I'd be fiddling with it again haha

is it possible if you could help me find the stock firmware bvkg3 bcz ive been looking and all links are dead. please pm me thank you
i just got my tab sgh-i987, i've been searching around and cant find the thread that shows how to root it. Any help would be greatful.
UPDATE
i found a thread to root it, but it says i have to download the KIES file, the link brings me to samsungs website but my device isnt listed, all the model numbers that they list begin with GT. which one do i use?
So after installing "Galaxy S5 Mini Alpha/A5" my device showed error, fixed this by installing stock firmware and "CF Auto Root". And now theres no problems except when I try to call someone it says "Not registered on network." or starting up phone where it asks for pin it also displays "SIM is locked" . Also found out that my IMEI is different from the one in the back of the case when removing battery. What are changes that I can call again? Is it possible to restore imei to call again? Also tried every option I found from google, but no success.
Thank you fellows for no help.

Possible way to restore your original IMEI is to initialize it through Kies 3, but this will remove root and flash latest stock firmware available for your phone, you need to enter your model number and serial number if Kies 3 couldn't detect them.
You cannot restore EfS/IMEI with Kies, only via backup you have done before.
Thanks for help.

Thank you very much for reply. But if I don't have any backup. Does that mean I cannot use my phone for calling anymore? Or do I have to go to the shop I bought it from.
I think so.
Long story short. I received a return on a phone I sold. The person who returned it tries to bypass the google lock on the phone by installing another firmware/rom. Instead of contacting me first so I could help them. they did not back anything up so all files were lost. I fix computer hardware and software but this is my first phone project. I read online how to flash it back to original firmware by using Odin 3.9 and a file I found online (N900AUCUCNC2_N900AATTCNC2_N900AUCUCNC2_HOME.tar.md5) this brought it back to droid 4.4.2. The padlock and custom icon are gone. But still, no IMEI or baseband both unknown. *#06# shows null/null. I need to get this phone able to work on my ATT network. I have no files to recover from. I don't know what files to be looking for or even what to do with them if I find them. I never rooted or jailbroke a phone first time flashing anything. so I need a bit of help. I can do it if I have clear and detailed instruction. but I myself do not know where to even begin. I have a computer and USB cable a note 3 sm-n900a and good computer and know how to get and download software and programs... just need to know what to download and how to use it. If you can help me I would be more than appreciative... thank you in advance!!!! I have attached photos.
