[Q] Is there a way to sim unlock a Captivate with Froyo?

I would like to not have to install 2.1 Eclair on the phone again but want to unlock the sim on my phone. It keeps failing when I use SuperOneClick 1.5. Has anyone figiured out how to do it with Froyo yet?

your phone would not of sim locked if you removed your sim when you flashed.

....in all seriousness though just search the market for "Galaxy S"...there is a free sim unlock program for SGS with froyo

can't unlock captivate on froyo 2.2
I was so dumb to upgrade to froyo. Now I can't unlock my phone, and tomorrow my family will change service to tmobile. I don't know what I gonna use now....
I saw on ebay they said they have an unlocked for captivate for 24 bucks. I wonder if it works with this stupid froyo.

[Q] Problems with Motorola Atrix 2

Bought a locked Motorola Atrix 2 on ebay. Unlocked the phone and got the unlock sucessful screen. No when i boot the phone, it directly goes into the emergency dialer screen. I can`t even go into the android setup screen. Is there a hard reset option for the Atrix 2?

You mean sim unlock?????
Hold both ends of volume rocker and power to get your menu with recovery as an option.

Yes, it`s SIM unlocked. Did the hard reset on the phone. Still it goes directly into the emergency dialer screen. I can`t even go into the home screen. Has the seller sent me a IMEI blocked phone?

when u saw the green android screen, press vol up/down together then u should be able to see the recovery option.

I am trying to use it in India. My service provider is called Airtel. It`s a GSM network.
Even without the sim card, It goes into the dialer screen.

With your airtel sim in it should prompt you for the subsidy code or unlock code. If it isnt working you may not have the correct code.

It did not prompt me. I had to type #073887* to get the unlocking screen. I did enter a code bought off ebay. It did say unlock sucessful. But, instead of rebooting it seems to be stuck in the dialer screen.

what about get into recovery mode and do a factory reset?

Tried with and without the SIM card. It does go into the Android home screen for a flash and then is stuck on the Emergency dialer screen.

Hmmm that's interesting. I recently moved over to an Atrix 2. My old Atrix 4g was unlocked as well and I went back to it yesterday and it's behaving exactly the way your Atrix 2 is behaving. On the Emergency Screen with or without a SIM card.

I tried to get the NCK code from AT&T today and they also told me it can't be unlocked until after June of next year. Where did you get your code?

"Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
and when i turn it to automatic select network it says
"Unable to connect to this newwork at this time.Please try again later"

Hey,
I've already got my SIm Unlock code (this guide helped me get it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233513 )
However when I placed my non-TMobile Sim, I don't get the "SIM Code" popup. This phone belongs to my godfather and he's not sure if he tried entering the code too many times when he tried to use an AT&T Sim.
How can I check if its permanently locked and/or force it to bring up the Sim code popup?
I'm rooted with S-OFF but still on the stock HTC rom.
Thanks.
Edit: I've done the Diag screen to Clean S58 Data and it's still not showing up.. :-/
Edit 2: Scratch the above. I did the Clean S58 data twice, and I got signal. My godfather will love this!

Branded or unbraded doesn't mean fake or original.
Branded = it came with your sim carrier (any logo of your carrier on it?)
Unbranded= means the opposit
If you have a branded phone, you can use only the sim of your carrier unless you unlock it.
This is why I asked. Good luck!

[Q] SIM Unlock code not working

Hello all. I found a thread on how to pull the unlock code off my tmobile galaxy s 4g using the embedded information on the phone. I tried this code with no success so I decided to give tmobile a call to get the code. So today I get an email with the code and it is the same exact one that I pulled off the phone and it still doesnt work. It this point I do not know what else to do. I tried both the apps from the andriod store with no success(helroz/ SGS Unlock) one says null and the other is blank where the code supposed to be. Does anyone have any ideas? My phone is the samsung sgh-t959v tmobile galaxy s which has been ungraded to 2.3.6 via klies mini and is rooted via superoneclick 2.3.3-shortfuse. Any help is appreciated.

Flash back to stock and walk into a T-Mobile store with your phone and the email.

You need to have a different carriers SIM card to use the code. Find a buddy who has ATT and put that SIM in the phone. Reboot and enter the code. Presto you're now unlocked.

So I decided to call the store before wasting gas and I am glad I did. The agent said there is nothing that they can do and I must call customer case to resolve this. Let the drama begin...

I used a digicel sim card that I have still active in another country (Jamaica) with the sim unlock attemps. The only other sim that I have laying around is an old metro pcs sim thats deactivated. I doubt it is the sim the phone is just not taking the code.

So your running stock/rooted and you've tried another carriers card. OK. I'm not sure whether that SIM has to be able to get connection or not. Next step would be to borrow someones card. I know when I unlocked mine I just popped in an ATT sim. Entered the code and that was it.

So I just got off the phone with customer care. They are saying that the imei on my account dosent match the phone I am requesting the sim unlock for so they have to correct that first before resending the code again. But what I dont get is why when i pull the hex code off of the phone the code matches the first unlock code they gave me. Both these things seem to tell me that the code is correct but why isnt the phone accepting it? I have 5 attempts remaining left and I have tried to reset it from some threads that I see but with no luck. Hope I dont end up with a useless phone. If I run a custom rom on my phone will it unlock it that way?

You need to be on stock to get the phone to accept the unlock code so don't flash anything else.

not to hijack, I'm on remics rom. If i were to put in a sprint sim and enter the unlock code that would not work?

Does the IMEI display correctly when *#06# is dialed? If not, mostly likely a corrupt EFS which can sometimes be fixed with: this

i will try to enter the unlock code on when i flash a ROM but i am pretty sure that whenever i entered my unlock code it permentantly unlocked my phone. also my IMEI is displayed correctly when i dial that number, however i did not have the tmo sim card in when i entered it. i will try again with the tmobile sim card in there and see what happens. thanks for your responses

If the IMEI displayed without SIM card its fine. A stock ROM is required to enter the unlock code. The phone should prompt for the unlock code when booted with the TMO SIM card. After unlocking on stock ROM any other ROM can be flashed and the phone will remain unlocked. As a check, you should be able to get EDGE data on stock GB or ICS after unlocking. Then experiment with other ROMs/radios after verifying data on stock.

I cannot enter the unlock code again. I flashed a new rom and put my tmobile sim card in and the the phone does not ask me enter the unlock code again. Also whenever I put my tmobile sim card in the new voicemail icon pops up but I cannot call voicemail or anyone else because it still says not registered on network.

Maybe you need an unlocked radio. The radio may be locked on the US frequencies and preventing from using the other bands...

Btw, you only need to unlock your phone once. Flashing other ROMs or radios does not re-lock the phone.
