hi
i'm italian and I don't speak English very well
i have a samsung sgh-i897 version 2.2 at&t sim-locked
i grant the root access with unlockroot 2.3
i try to unlock with Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool app in the market
when i select "Root Gen Codes",
i get an error message "SORRY, no codes found unknown error"
Why???
Biggio
Don't listen to him, he is new and doesn't know what he is talking about. Talk to user TRusello about this. It is because it is a I896 not I897, the unlock process is different, yet it is still free! He is right about the hard lock and all, but no need to pay when the code just has to be accessed and entered into the phone.
Is there any guide in the forum that I can use?
i try to unlock with Generate Unlock Windows.zip
but i have a problem also with this solution
failed to copy /efs/nv_data.bin to ./nv_data.bin --> Permission denied
------------------------------------------------------------------
finally i unlock the phone with the app "GALAXY S UNLOCK" downloaded to the Android Market!!!
my italian sim works perfectly!!!
Now i I wonder if they can install the European firmware on my phone without losing the unlock??
If the answer is yes, what program can I do this?

The simlock is permanent unless you get a bad rom that overwrights your efs/nv_data.bin.
There is no "European" version the SGH-i896,897 are North American released. You can take any rom and enter your own apn for your italian provider if its not present.
ok
thanks for the clarification
biggio
glad you got it fixed.
as to your permission denied issue, i believe you have to remount said partition. there is a method to do so using a hex editor that gives a nice bit of info on the whole process. the problem then becomes are the bits you must modify the same on the 896 and 897? this i do not know so i would not advise doing ANYTHING without making excessive amounts of backups, mainly of the nv_data file and the cache or md5 that goes with it (cant remember which it is but its in the same dir)
after reading your error again, i feel foolish for typing all that. you should have access to /mnt/sdcard if your sd is mounted by the phone and not the pc. there is a way of doing it without the symlinked folder but i forget the actual path and am too lazy to look it up.
to sum it up, it looks like your perms issue was because you needed to change your destination directory.

I bought an Atrix locally. It has superuser since it was rooted, BUT the seller removed the SD card, so the root isn't working right now.
I tried to upgrade Superuserand I'm not allowed to do so... it says the following: "An error ocurred and su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary"
I already inserted my own SD card, but I don't know what to do in fear of bricking my new phone.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!!
You don't need an SD card to be rooted

Superuser v2.3.6.3

It has motoblur removed, so i guess that it does have unlocked bootloader

Oh, ok to check if your bootloader is unlocked, when you turn on the phone, at the Dual core screean on the top right corner , it should say unlocked, if not there your not unlocked

what should i do then? unlock the loader, root the phone and install a custom rom using a tutorial?
First you should try and root,(I used this) http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root. But first check of you can uninstall superuser.apk, he probably just downloaded it from the market, but wasn't actually rooted

If motoblur was removed, I would think that the phone was rooted. As far as the errors you were getting, it may have been due to the previous user moving some apps to the micro sd card or they may have been using something like GOD mode. I would download a custom ROM designed for the phone, boot into recovery and install it.
Hope this helps.

Hi guys
As shown in the title,i can't root my atrix 2 which is on ics (67.220.3.en05).i have turned on usb debugging and run Root.bat in an admin account on my pc.it said permission denied and cannot copy any file to my phone(such as superuser.apk)
.anyone got an idea how to solve this problem?or this root method does not support my phone,which is an asia model(ME865, NOT MB865)?
I used this method

Did you do a factory reset after installing ICS OTA update? Without it, the phone isn't recognized by ADB, and hence the adb commands in the script fails.
Oh man,that means i have to say goodbye to my old data

Also don't run the .bat file as an administrator. I ran into problems with that as well.
I noticed that no one said anything about having the USB debug option checked on the settings. But I don't know if rooting ICS is different than GB.

Though they are technically different (in GB we exhaust ADB resources by a fork bomb to retain root, whereas in ICS we fool the kernel by passing qemu=1 by linking local.prop to a writable file), both requires ADB to work, hence USB debug option must be set for any of these mechanism.

For my best understanding, 67.220.3.en05 is only available from the HKTW OTA update up to now (SBF is not available), which is known that it's not able to be rooted at this moment (except replacing the boot.img with the ASIA RETAIL version)
This seem to work over at the O2X forum with 0 complaints . Just sent in my request. Give it a try and see if we can unlock for free

Hm, Anyone know how I can input my SIM Unlock Code? I tried putting an invalid SIM (Rogers SIM and a Bell SIM) but I can't get to the SIM Unlock page. I also tried the 2945#*999# But it gets stuck at USSD Code running on the WIND Sim card and doesn't work on any other SIM.
Are you running a stock ROM? I did it with mine using the special menu, but I had to flash the stock ROM in order to do it.

Hi G2xer,
Thanks for sharing this great site. I am a Canadian Wind user. By following the instruction, I am able to get an unlock code to unlock my phone.
For all the Wind user out there,
If you are on CM7 based rom, you will need to restore back to stock rom first. Otherwise, you will not be able to get to the unlock screen.
Thanks,
Hi all,

Hey guys, sorry to have to post such a pissy post, but I'm hoping something good will come out of this post. Basically I've been trying to Root my Xoom for months now but unfortunately everything I've tried seems not to work. I've even used LAIOT and it still isn't working. The program says that my tablet is rooted, however any Root Checker program I use says it's not Rooted. And also when I try and use Rom Toolbox, or Rom Manager, both of them say that my device is not rooted. And when I type in command prompt the text to check Root statis manually, it says it IS Rooted? Please help!

where are you at? Did you get it rooted? You might be better off starting from scratch and fastboot the original honeycomb wiping data and then rooting from there.
Additionally, the new twrp recovery 2.4.2.0 can root for you.

I think you should take it to the carrier or a shop. They may have tools to fix that. You can also try using the kdz updater to initialize the office but not sure if it would work.
