[Q] Get unlock code for unlocked captivate, but no original nv_data.bin available

Hi Guys,
I got this unlocked Samsung Captivate phone from CL. Works fine. But I was wondering, since the original nv_data.bin is no longer available, is there a way to know what is the unlock code ???
The guy from whom I purchased the phone does not respond to my emails.
Since there are cases that updating to higher Versions might ask for unlock code once again, I am just being well prepared for the worst.
Thanks

Yeah me too
Yeah me too!

As long as you stick to the ROM that was originated from Captivate ROMs, you should be fine. Most of those get screwed up and need re-apply unlock code are from flashing those European ROMs tweaked for Captivate.
Also, I read there is now a way to extract unlock code even in Froyo 2.2. I'm pretty sure Dev section has a thread about it.

[Q] Question about unlocking and nv_data.bin

Hello, I have a question about SIM Unlock and nv_data.bin.
First, sorry for my English
I have a Samsung Galaxy 3 I buyed to Vodafone Spain. The phone came locked by the carrier, and with Android 2.1. When the 2.2 roms began to be available to other carriers I flashed them with ODIN, so now, I have the latest version from Spain FOP (not Vodafone). I have never rooted the phone, or unlocked bootloader or anything else. Then only I have done is flashing the phone by ODIN and wipe it to factory reset.
The problem I have now is that I want to sim unlock it to use in other carrier. So I buyed a code (with the phone IMEI and the model(i5800)) to a code seller. I have buyed codes in this web for other phones (Nokia, Huawei and Sony Ericsson) and always the code have worked perfect on the phone, unlocking it perfectly. So I purchased the code for my i5800, but the problem is that the code they gave to me (8 numbers), doesn´t work, it says code invalid.
I have contacted with the seller but at the moment, they have no replied me. So, I found a tutorial in internet that says that if I extract nvdata.bin from the phone, I could get the code with a Windows app called Samsung Galaxy S Code Extractor(or something like that), so I decided to get the code by this method, since this method doesn´t require to alter system o root or anything, only extract a file by ADB
The problem is this method didn´t give me any code, is like nv_data.bin have losed the code in my phone.
So, my question is, if my nv_data.bin have losed the code, can it be the reason the code I buyed doesn´t work? I means, when I introduce the code in my phone, does it compare the code with the code inside nv_data.bin?? or have nothing to do?
Thanks in advance
i apologize for the long post

Boot loader and other questions.

I have a Verizon droid ultra. I couldn't find it on the unlock bootloaders link posted in the beginners Guide. Is it possible to unlock the bootloader?The phone isn't a developers phone. I have one last question, if I remove the sim card can I flash T-Mobile framework and use family mobile?

The non-developer edition is not normally supposed to have its bootloader unlocked. In order to unlock it, you must get an unlock code from Motorola, and Verizon has instructed Motorola not to give out codes for non-dev devices.
However, if you act fast (because who knows how long this will actually be an option) you can buy an unlock code for $40. This basically involves sending your IMEI to someone in China who sends you back a code, which seems a little sketchy. However, the codes coming back are valid and do in fact work, so if you're willing to look the other way on how the codes may have been obtained (for all we know, that database "fell off the back of a truck" so to speak), then go for it.

How to unlock bootloader on a honor 7a with or without the code

So I wanted to unlock and root my honor 7a so I can install a custom rom and make it like new.
The only problem with it is that Huawei (honor is a sub-brand of Huawei) since 2018 realesed a security patch where its not possible to unlock the bootloader and some companies offered the code for unlock the bootloader but you gotta pay it and they are expensive. I have tried in many ways to get the unlock code, but didn't work plus I got an encryption virus where I got the 89% of my disk encrypted with the .mmvb extension.
Is there a way where I can unlock it without the code or having the code for unlocking it?

I'm not too sure, but you could look into some open-source project, a quick sypher through GitHub brought me to this repository.

You could possibly look into it and see if it would be of any help, I'm not able to test due to not having a device myself

Well, the best, fastest and safe way to unlock it would be with those paid services. You could also try using Potanov. Way riskier, but you do get the unlock code for free.

But potanov is not meant for mediatek cpu

Download TWRP from the Russian forum. Tell me, please, do you have an unlocked bootloader?
