Hello, I am going to visit the US in August and I would really like to buy Samsung Captivate, but not the Samsung Galaxy S (I really hate its iPhone style design)
Is it possible for a foreigner to buy Captivate (and unlock it) and use it with my own sim card here in Russia?
just found this instruction - http://ddd.in.com/videos/watchvideo...ngular-att-free-network-sim-code-8507521.html
does it work?
As for non-contract? yes! It will be $350 in any AT&T store.
As for unlocking it, i'm not sure.
so I can just come and buy it in AT&T store without showing some documents like I am a citizan of the US? and btw the price is very low, comparing with its price here in Moscow - $1000
Then, I need just to unlock it for any sim card?

LoL! Yes dude, you can buy it. The only citizenship doecuments you need are US Dollars!
Thanks, dudes, you really helped me)
It's really promising)
The design of Samsung Galaxy S really suks and the Captivate one is awesome
dark, just in case you didn't already know, as of now unlocks aren't available, but it's highly likely that they will be soon. This means that you wont be able to use your phone right away when you get back to the mother land.
On the other hand if you hang in there, by the time unlocks come out, there will be plenty of guides on how to make this phone look as little as the ios as possible. Not to mention alot more online support for it.
Just wanted to make sure you didn't get back home to a huge disappointment .
Good point. I just assumed he was aware of that. As quickly as this thing is gaining momentum, I doubt you'd have to wait long before it's unlocked.
Well, just read the review on one web-site and there was a phrase:
AT&T won't let you sideload apps.
I am confused, does it mean that there is no android market???????????
I saw a video - how to unlock Samsung Captivate - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlxc6AJaAys
Does it work?
So if it's fake, I am planning to stay in the US until the end of August, are there any chances for the unlock to reveal?
There is a market, but you can't put stuff on there that isn't from the market.
With AT&T, the only thing can be installed is stuff from the market.
Do you mean that it's just not possible to put .apk files in the phone?
Well, in this case I am OK with Android Market
crap, just read in another review, that there is an AT&T Market - this totally sucks!
So, it is different from Android Market?
Or there are two markets there?

Yup thats pretty much the case, so if you do not mind it, you are good to go. I would not worry too much about an unlock as this phone is spreading faster than fire through the community and should be unlockable pretty soon.
That I have no idea about. I have never owned an Android phone so I only go by what I have read.
but as of this weekend, I will own one!
Maybe root will help us to install 3-rd party apps?
Guys, please post additional info about unlock , when some new information reveals.
I am really interested in this phone.
And can someone check if it is possible to choose Russian locale? I mean transforming the interface to the Russian one
Here is an unlock instruction http://hyfeno.com/unlocked-samsung-i897-captivate/
it seems like it should work
btw please advise me the cheapest US 3g network I am planning to travel in many states of the USA for a month...

You should try asking AT&T for the unlock when you purchase it from them. They should be able to provide you with one free of charge since you are paying for the phone outright!
After paying 6 bucks, this is the reply I got from their site.
Hi,
unfortunately your code wasn't found in our database, would you have another phone you like to unlock?

I'll be calling them today.
AND it's not a free unlock code.
it's 6 bucks as mentioned.

well, may be you misspelled the code?
if it finally works, it's better to pay these 6 bucks, than paying $1000 for the ugly version of Galaxy S here in Russia
The non contract price I was just quoted from the ATT store were I purchased my phone said the the price off contract was 499.00
I was going to buy this phone for 350.00 but 500.00 is a little steep.
so is it $350 or $500?
I heard that $500 is just for t-mobile version
I was going to go over there to exchange it and buy it out right. Look at the prices of the galaxy s line on ebay,500$ sounds about right.
500$ is what I was told from a corporate ATT store.
So I bought a moto g 16gb unlocked on ebay. It was case open, but practically unused, and it was £20 cheaper so I bought it. There was an issue with the SIM, it wouldn't even detect it so I thought the pins were broken. Took it in for repair, turns out the IMEI is blacklisted and phone most likely stolen, so my question is, is it possible to change the IMEI and still make it work? Or get the IMEI unlocked? Is there any workaround for this or am I permanently screwed with this phone?
You are screw imei. Tampering is highly illegal, except this was done over ebay which means PayPal was in play bring it up with them. You may get your cash back also check the disscription make sure it wasn't buried in their

Okay, well I'm about done with drama, I know this guy is a scammer, I had some arguments and he's a total scammer and I can't be bothered to mess with paypal legal team and whatnot. I was just wondering if there's an alternative way to get it fixed, guess not though. I might just give it to a relative as an ipod touch.

You'd be pretty pissed off if someone stole your Moto G, fixed the IMEI blacklist then was able to sell it... unless you stole it joking
Seriously though bring it up with Paypal.
Re-read the Ebay listing and make sure it is NOT listed ANYWHERE in the description about being blacklisted.
Then, as everyone is suggesting, at least bring it to the attention of PayPal and eBay.
A blacklisted phone by IMEI can't be recovered ever again, because [Corrections allowed] when somebody calls to it's carrier to block their stolen phone by IMEI, they block/blacklist it and that wouldn't be suposed to turn on, or at least that's what i've read weeks ago. That blacklist would make that not even another countries carrier SIM cards work on that phone. :/
Technically that Moto G is now an iPod Touch. :/
I don't know 'that' well those online shopping sites (ebay, mercadolibre, amazon, etc.) but you could be able to report or, (corrections) take legal actions against the user that sold you that.
Just saying.

resell it
if you can't return it to the seller, or get a refund from PayPal/eBay, you better try to resell it to somewhere abroad

That's pretty low man.
Unless in the description he states in huge writing right at the top "BLACKLISTED DEVICE", which is what the first guy should have done.

no. his device is blacklisted only in his country. users abroad can use it
Did not know that...
So if I were to purchase a device online that has been blacklisted in, say, Europe, I could use it here in North America?
I just thought the IMEI be blocked everywhere.
Blacklisting is available only in the UK afaik, besides you should get a refund from eBay/PP/Seller, it's quite easy.
Otherwise it can be used in any other country w/o a problem.
Also there is a way to unblock it if you got the original box. Probably the idiot sold it and then reported it stolen.
Some time ago I was looking for American iPhones but some were black listed and I've been told that you can't use them here in Europe

Paypal protection is there for this sort of thing and is pretty easy to make a claim, why someone can't be bothered is a mystery indeed, unless there's more to this than has been told.
EBay Buyer Protection is a wondrous thing. Also for phones just go to swappa.com.

there is a way but you wont find it here because there are some ppl that want to unblacklist their hard days work of stealing phones. I feel what you are going through and you need to serch google as there are plenty of sites offering the service.... I had one done over the web on a telus note 2 and worked flawlessly. and yes I got scammed too... on ebay.
good morning, friends, I'm in trouble, my phone is in negative band, buy it on Ebay, and now I can not contact the seller, a typical scam, meeting in public place, I showed the phone, worked well, and went fast, the phone had no information, no sim card, nothing to return to the original owner, my inteciones were. To find out which company could see belonged to an operator who told me he was denounced, and its owner was reinstated with a new phone ...
Our justice system sucks. (Pardon the word)
From my side ... The phone already paid, now I have a nice shaped tablet Samsung 915G
The money was stolen from me ... The thing is that now I would like to use it, you install an original firmware, android 6.0.1 but still logically negative band.
there any way to change the imei? or remove negative band?
Look many guides, but was help me any odds.
From already thank you very much to all, I really like the forum and I think visit daily.
Negative band means on a blacklist?

Sooo.... Basically what you're saying and getting at then is... YOU WANT A FREE WAY TO DO THIS??? Not going to happen unless you buy the equipment and software to repair blacklisted IMEI's, otherwise you're outta luck, so buy a prepaid credit card load $35 bucks on it and use it to fix your problem, or sell the phone and pay more to get one that isn't blacklisted, but a bigger more curious question is how did ya use eBay and PayPal without a credit or debit card, gift card, your fault and loss then cause you could've disputed the seller and reported it eBay and gotten a full or partial refund and keep the phone and get it reloaded on your card and used that money to pay for the imei repair?
TL;DR No there is any magic flash this software hacks that will fix this, these sellers do it by services and software like the octopus box and so on, which are A LOT MORE Expensive than $35.

Ebay did not take over , as concrete so that the payment was made in cash. Maybe get a credit card from someone who can afford it and I could use the service, thank you very much , and I see at the moment is the only solution possible.

So all three players that used to provide bootloader unlock codes are providing them again after having no availability for months.
FunkyHuawei (price: $124 ) https://funkyhuawei.club/bootloader
Ministry of Solutions (price: $45) https://ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-service-all-new-models-new-firmwares
Global Unlocking Solutions (price: $45-50) https://global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below
Get them while you can, seems as though availability may drop off at any point.

I'm in the exact same boat. Also with a P20 Pro. Waiting to hear back now.
Any updates I get I'll post here.
Do these guys all work together to submit the requests or how does this work?
Seems like Ministry of Solutions is only accepting "family and friends" payment through paypal. This is a well known tactic for scammers as buyers are unable to reverse the transaction.
Anyone have any past experience with this person?
It seems that these places have some contacts who either work for/contract for or something similar for Huawei, at minimum have access to the algorithm that provides the codes.
The fact that they all seem to come online/available at the same time then go offline/unavailable at the same time indicates that either a previous or new contact is willing to provide codes for money for some period of time.
We can be pretty certain they haven't cracked the algorithm as otherwise why would they ever go offline and why do they all come available at the same time with uncertainty about how long it's available for. We can only assume the contact is willing to sell codes again but eventually gets cold feet or caught leading to uncertainty of how long they will be available for.

Perfect logic. Agreed.
Huawei really needs to pull their finger out.
Perhaps whilst companies are offering the codes it was make logical sense to now ask Huawei if or when they may provide them again? Seeing as there is obvious demand for them.
Or perhaps Huawei are fully aware and is doing this as a test to see if it's a viable demand from their users.
So they allow 1000 unlocks and then they time it, to see how quickly they get consumed. That way they can project if it's something they should return to.
Tbh though those numbers can tell a very different tale Vs reality, kind of like failure rates with software roll outs in companies / firms, they base roll backs based on failure percentages and those thresholds are rarely hit but the problems are obvious and usually widespread. I think it's going to be similar with Huawei and their bootloader policy.
Can't see them going back, hopefully I'm wrong, seem to remember HTC doing the same thing when they blocked the One X. Great phone flawed with bootloader unlocks, eventually they reversed their decision and it hit them hard.
The price from funkyhuawei is a joke. ? I ordered from global unlocking solutions
You don't get even that price when you trade-in your Huawei P20 pro after Huawei ****ed up by Trump, Trade in value is around £50, Lol

Some places around me (Ontario Canada) will still give you about 375$ if they are in mint condition. But that will change soon....unless things change. Although Google has stepped up and said that Huawei would cause a bigger security risk by using their own OS, so who knows. A man can hope lol .

So there are manufacturers that don't require code to unlock bootloader.
I always check this before i buy something.

Ye i was thinking of buying because i figured prices would go down because of the ban, but not anymore.
Trump was right banning them after all.
But they sell on internet codes to unlock Huawei for around 50$. Just out of curiosity do you know how they get those codes or why they cost so much ?
Do you think I'll get better luck with Xiaomi ?

Definitely, codes on sale for 50$ are a scam (at least that's what I think).

Don't and do is a very expansive and at times subjective question.. seeing as the likes of Huawei / Honor tend to change their mind like the wind..
To put things into context, what is your preference? Id assume without a code right?
At this point in time there is one device I would recommend which had the essence of Android at its heart and that is OnePlus.
It doesn't have the best of everything but it has the best of what matters and they appear to care about what Android users want as they continue to provide us with things that make us tick..albeit now with a swollen price tag.
There are others but not in the same calibre or price /performance ball park.. I think the pixel series is along the same lines but pixels (camera aside) are ridiculously priced, even though their original party trick was to be cost effective devices for their price range.
Ones to avoid, anything niche, Huawei, and anything with an efuse chip with a company that will adhere to it's alteration ie: Samsung.
Just my opinion but hope this helps..
Perhaps there's a list, may take some doing to collaborate though and to maintain..
:good:
@dladz It would make more sense to me to throw 2000$ more in a gaming PC than 200$ more in a phone that will give you stats that i cannot imagine what use someone would have for them.
In that sense OnePlus is probably not for me.
As for efuse, first time i read about this, does it just voids the warranty or there's more to it ?

Sorry pal I've not seen this til now lol.
Efuse isn't just Samsung AFAIK, but they do use it.
Who's spending 2000$ btw?
The oneplus is less than most phones, certainly less than Huawei, plus it's faster, a LOT faster. And the camera has caught up too.
$499 for the base model, a device which will never slow down, ever.
PS: my pc overall was around £5,000 in total plus upgrades so I tend to aim high, reason being is it's hard to accept less when you've had the best.
