I have this AT&T Captivate with JH7 update. Please help me unlock this. I tried using SGS Unlocker from market but it doesn't work. Please help me as I am located in India and could no longer go to United States.
Take a peek in the dev section. There's a 1 click unlock tool (for mac and pc) floating around.

Noob unlocked his AT&T Captivate like this
This is how I was able to unlock my Captivate.
New method (post-JH7)
The following method has been confirmed to work after the JH7 update. It does however require root.
Download and install "Android Terminal Emulator" from the Market. In Terminal Emulator, type:
su
busybox grep -E "^[0-9]{8}$" /efs/nv_data.bin
The unlock code will show up. Write it down for later use.
Many Thanks to who ever figured this out. You are my HERO.
Thank You from wingrovedl
how can i unlock the root on a samsung infuse
please use the search bar and read many threads before posting.
that doesnt make any sense. what are you trying to do?
unlocking and rooting are two different processes. one requires the other.
if you're looking for help rooting, or unlocking, see the development sections. there are walkthroughs for both.
This is the problem with this forum
Samsung infuse running gingerbread!
Unlock, Root, and Return to Stock
To unlock your phone - that is allow you to put another carrier's sim in your phone, check out android.jakaar.net/infuse-unlock-sim.html
The above method to unlock the phone does NOT require your phone to be rooted. The method will use a shell root (temporary) to acquire the unlock code.
If you want to root the phone, check out this page: android.jakaar.net/infuse-rooting.html
If you want to undo your root - that is make the phone completely stock again, you can always flash it back with Odin. Go here:
android.jakaar.net/infuse-return-to-stock.html
Or, you can download the SuperOneClick and click the "Unroot" button if all you want to do is unroot the phone. The link above for how to root your phone will contain a download link for SuperOneClick
I bought a captivate and I want to use at T-mobile. So how do I root and unlock before I put in a sim? It doesn't allow me to use sim and market, so I need to root and unlock before I can use. thanks.

You need a program called Super One Click. This one program will unlock and root your phone.

To go a little farther on ^^^.
SuperOneCick will root the phone( it will aslo have the option to allow third party apps. I would recommend do that).
From there, you need an app called Galaxy S Unlock by Helroz. You can get it from the market. After completing that, your phone will be rooted and unlocked.

I never could get that to work for me. Others may have different experiences.
You can use the phone and market without SIM card just fine.
In my case, Superoneclick will root the phone but I then had a hard time getting the unlock code, might because the phone had stock 2.2 on it. Galaxy S Unlock returned FFFFFFF while hex editing let me pass the pin input screen but the phone was still locked.
Finally bought a code for $0.99 on eBay and got it unlocked. Well worth it, especially after I spent 3 hours and almost screwed up nv_data.bin/IMEI.
Hi there;
Having a bit of trouble rooting my Infuse 4G. I am new to the Samsung world of Android and this is my first ever Samsung device. Used to HTC and LG phones.
I've had experience rooting before (LG Optimus 3D, HTC Incredible S, Xperia X10 etc) but I can't seem to get this one. I followed a thread for rogers specific phones and it did not work. Tried an AT&T thread and it wasn't successful either. Also hoping to unlock the phone too! SuperOne Click locked up and stopped responding and ODIN method couldn't locate my phone. even though all drivers and KEIS is installed on my computer.
Phone is running 2.3.3 OS
Any advice would be appreciated!

The Odin method is the only way to root your phone. You need to go into device manager and select the phone and update the driver as a Samsung serial device. Odin should read after that.
Thanks! I didn't know I had to go in as serial device. Thank you so much!

Would you happen to know a method to unlock the phone too without paying some company $20 for a code?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093476\
you can try that. im not sure if it works on gingerbread. youll also need another sim card so the unlock code dialog will appear.

1. Calling the company and asking them nicely for the unlock code may work.
2. The hard way:
a. make sure you have a stock roger's rom back up.
b. odin your phone back to froyo.
c. use lost1's root and unlock thread in the q/a section. (reason: this only works on froyo)
d. get unlock code.
e. odin or heimdall back to roger's stock or whatever rom
Just got a Nokia 3.1 to use a testing tool and other fun stuff, and therefore would like to root it. Does anyone of you know of a working root of the 3.1?
So this phone is a no go for root and custom roms I guess.

Why do you think so? Bootloader can be unlocked via Developer settings, and I think there is no special magic preventing this device from rooting.
I would try rooting it by flashing some SuperSU zips or something like that, but I didn't try it yet
Has anyone checked this out? I haven't purchased a Nokia 3.1 but am considering it. I went so far as to create a Nokia account and there is a bootloader unlock apk, as well as an unlock.key that can be downloaded, and there are clear instructions on the Nokia page itself.. Since I don't have the phone, I did not attempt to proceed. However, if the 3.1 qualifies (I don't see why it wouldn't) then getting root should be as easy as following Magisk instructions.
There is even a page for the open source releases.
If I were to get the 3.1, my main objective would likely be to just obtain root. Looks like it should be doable.
Edit - well over 100 views since I posted this but no one has tried to unlock and/or root. I thought that was the purpose of this thread.
Unfortunately that app always crashes

That is unfortunate! Perhaps, does activating Developer Options allow to select OEM Unlocking and USB Debuging, then running the Unlocking App? To run step 5 of 5 (see NOKIA INSTRUCTIONS below) you would need to have USB Debugging enabled anyway. Nowhere in the instructions is that mentioned.
FYI - Activate Developer Options: Go to Settings>About Phone and tap Build Number 7 times. Back out to access Developer Options.
Also, I do not have this phone but am interested in it. I cannot confirm if any of the advice I am giving will work, but it is what I would try.
NOKIA INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
Firstly, we need to validate that the phone you would like to unlock is operated by you. There are a few steps to this, so we ask that you carefully follow all instructions. Let’s get started.
To participate, simply complete the following steps:
1. Please download the Nokia Bootloader Unlocker app. You can download the apk from this link and install the apk on your device. If you don’t understand how to install an apk on your device, please do not unlock the bootloader on your device. Doing so will void your phone's warranty and may cause irreparable damage.
2. Launch the Nokia Bootloader Unlocker app and fill your email information and click “Submit”.
3. The app will display a code. Please enter this in the form below along with your email address. Then press "Request to Unlock"
Your bootloader can now be unlocked. Follow the instructions below:
Step 1/5
Check the email you entered during registration. You should receive an email with a message as follows:
Hi, Thanks for requesting the unlocking bootloader. Please download your unlock key from the following link. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Download the unlock key and save it as “unlock.key”.
Step 2/5
Power off your device. Once powered off, press and hold the Volume Down button.
Step 3/5
While keeping the Volume Down button pressed, connect the device to the computer via USB cable. The device will boot into “Download mode”. If you have difficulty, try powering up normally, power off the device again and start back from Step 1.
Step 4/5
Download the following fastboot binary for your OS here.
Step 5/5
Open a command prompt:
Windows: Start > cmd
Mac: Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app
Linux: Terminal
Navigate to the directory where the previously downloaded unlock.key file is saved. Then enter the following commands:
fastboot flash unlock unlock.key
fastboot oem unlock
If successful, you should see the below message:
Unlock success!
Then reboot the device by entering the following command:
fastboot reboot
You are done!
It doesn't work either way. I tried with both those options enabled and disabled but the program always crashes. It's interesting to note that the app itself fails to install through chrome or "Files" app. Gives an error saying "Can't open app". I only managed to install it through ES File Explorer. Could it be because of I bought the phone on a Vodafone store? I can't find the original stock rom to flash, sadly.

I have been researching this and have found that, as of this writing, only the Nokia 8 qualifies for bootloader unlocking. See here. The only thing holding me back from jumping on this Nokia 3.1 is the inability to unlock the bootloader (and maybe the lack of fingerprint sensor.) Hopefully it gets "approved soon".
Currently the oem unlock using the Nokia bootloader unlock only works for Nokia 8
is there a way to root the 3.1 yet successfully? im a noob at this stuff and don't want to screw my phone.

No, not until Nokia decides to allow users to unlock bootloader.
What about the 3.1 plus. I've already unlocked OEM. I just started looking, thought I'd start here first.

It doesn't matter if you have enabled "OEM unlocking" option in Developer settings, currently Nokia doesn't allow unlocking of bootloader and thus rooting device, unless you are Nokia 8 user. You can try this, but it will crash almost for sure.
As far as I can tell, my bootloader is unlocked. I am a noob of course, but I have been researching this topic for a couple of months now. I could be mistaken in thinking "upload" mode is it, but I can't seem to figure out the difference. Otherwise, I don't know what to do next.

To get to "Upload" mode? Assuming it's the same for the 3.1 Plus-maybe I should have specified that-holding power button and volume up during startup will open "Upload" mode.
You can also use adb with the command "reboot bootloader." For that reason, I think it's the bootloader, but I could be wrong.
Sorry if I was a bit misleading and it is totally different on the Nokia 3.1, I was just some kinda hopeful to actually see people talk about it.

I'm not bringing any sizable programming skills to the table unless somebody wants to teach me real fast.
Hopefully, I bring tidings of great joy. So I got two these Nokia's and they're both locked. to the carrier, Cricket. I suspect they are at least unlawfully locked. . My understanding is you can't lock to used phone especially if it's been sold as a prepaid phone. I believe this falls under the reseller flex policy. I bought it off of eBay from a guy that sells nothing but phones and he's been extremely cagey about what he'll admit to, so I called the carrier. I literally waited an hour and a half on the phone because I am falling asleep and I was on a computer speaker phone so it kept on the time of the call. I only held that long because I had fallen asleep. Anyway since I'm not in a cricket or AT&T customer then don't plan to eitherbe they could care less about me it actually told me they didn't have any information on the phone after I gave them the IMEI number.
My guess is the fcc's not going to do much because it's a trump Administration. So I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with Nokia and well at least they're interesting I think Microsoft paid between 7 and 12 billion to acquire them I recently sold them off for like a box of jujyfruits. Anyway they're committed to customer service so I figure my predicament might give me an in there.
So those unlock codes that it was a link earlier in the post for that's just to unlock the bootloader, right? You know this is a pretty decent phone for a low-end guy I got the newer 3.1 C it's got Cricket's bootloader in bloatware on it,
takes up a ton of space.
I mean it probably won't happen but if Nokia ever goes public again - I think the acquiring companies. Their eye on the prize and they're going to kick some ass. So I'm all in on this let's get this done. If you want I can see what I can do about asking Nokia 4 whatever it's going to take just to keep me a satisfied customer since they know Cricket/ATT isn't following the Obama regs.
Oof... It would be beautiful if Nokia customer support could guide us onto rooting this phone.
its so simple to unlock oem on nokia 3.1 plus. no third app needed. after developer option on -> go to developer option setting -> there is toggle button to on/off developer option , just use that toggle to off it and on it -> press yes for on dev options -> and select oem unlock. that all
It is pretty straightforward once you have unlocked bootloader (not by Nokia). If you want, you can simply dump boot_a or boot_b with SPflash tool, patch in Magisk app, and reflash.
Otherwise you can use my TWRP (NO TOUCH, and has disabled dm-verity). Please note it's only working on build v3.180, updates not supported - as it was only needed for my project.
