June 2011 RE-EDIT... Use the instructions here or here to unlock.
EDIT: SIM-Lock on JI6 has been solved for me with helroz's repair_nv_data.zip, read further along...
Page 11, Post 103 has a good copy of the instructions (but read the whole thread)
Also, heres a link to the corresponding thread in the Captivate forums
Can someone who has had Tmobile US for at least 40 days put a request in for an unlock code for my Vibrant? I only have ATT and no friends with Tmo. The Tmobile unlock team already refused my request. You would just need to call Customer Service, ask for the unlock team. I tried all the solutions in the forums - I have a messed up nv_data (bought it on craigslist). Shoot me a PM if your willing to help. Thanks in advance.
how many days since you have your vibrant?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I bought it 2 days ago from a guy on craigslist
There is an apk you can get called sgs unlock and it will give you the unlock code
the sgs unlocker doesn't work if the vibrant's had the JI6 update flashed or any other custom ROMs in it.
I'm also trying to unlock my JI6 updated vibrant. I was a dumbass and didn't unlock it when it was on JFD.
I paid cellunlocker.net for a code, but apparently it takes up to 3 days to get the code.
Yup,it had ji6 when I got it, and tmo won't give me the code cause I'm not their customer
And abaybas, please let me know if the code you get works
In this case, would you be able to unlock it if you flash your phone with JFD stock ROM then flash it back to JI6?
Nope. I odin'd back to stock. Ive tried the fixes. I just need someone to contact tmo for me
Ill do it. Whats the imei on the phone? it can take up to 72hrs but most times when I call its less.
No need! Just got it unlocked with a file that helroz sent me
Repeat: You can unlock a JI6 flashed phone using a file that changes the SIM unlock code (I was running bionix fusion when i did it)
Someone please work with him to turn it into an app if thats possible... its just a couple bat files and a jar that edit the files i believe
Thanks so much french dude (helroz)
wow can't believe you can do that in JI6 update, cuz i know about one unlock method that erases your phone's IMEI number and unlocks it permanently but thats questionable to be.
he sent me a repair_nv_data.zip and it fixed my nv_data and maintained the imei thats listed under my battery

Can you post that file and and the steps you took to recover here? I'm sure someone in the same situation will find it valuable.

I am actually in the same situation. I cant get mine unlocked using the app because it doesnt give me an unlock code and just says 'are you sure this is a galaxy s phone?'. I also tried paying for a code and the code did not work, the guy who did it also retried a second time and the code was the same, so I dont know whats up with that. My IMEI is the same as whats on my original box. I tried hacking the nv_data.bin myself using the guide posted somewhere in the i9000 thread. If someone could send me that fix I would be very grateful.

why don't you try calling t-mobile and get your code?
the sgs unlocker won't work to me too. my only chance left is the code from t-mobile.

I would rather try this method. I'm not paying again for a code that may not work. I already paid $20 to swiftunlocks and the code didn't work. I got this phone 2 weeks ago and I still haven't been abke to use it.

Is there anyway to unlock the device to work on another carrier without an unlock code? I'd like to do it myself if I can.
Thanks in advance.
T-mobile reps are super nice. Just tell them you're going overseas and they'll happily give you the code.

Look in the G2 android development section for the simunlock, supercid, and S-OFF guide. Might not be what you're looking for if you do not want to root.
Yes. I'd check the wiki instructions linked on that page. If you haven't permarooted yet, running gfree will also give you that as an added bonus.

And then cross your fingers that the code doesn't BRICK it...
gfree for sure is the way to go.
Yes, the HACK is SAFER than the official code!!!!
The hack can even REPAIR the damage done by the official code.
This has got to REALLY make htc feel foolish
With the galaxy s, I was able to re-lock the phone when I had to send it in for repair. I need to know if I am able to do that with the atrix, because should I need to send it in, I definitely don't want my warranty being voided. Anyone know if this is possible, once unlocked?
thanks
Are you referring to root not unlocking the bootloader? If so, yes, you can unroot. Push the unroot button on superoneclick. Rooting does not void the warranty though.
no, referring to unlocking the phone so I can used it on another carrier

They wouldn't care about that don't worry.
How did you manage to relock the Galaxy S? For any GSM device once it's unlocked it can't be re-locked.

one of the geniuses on xda came up with a way to pull the unlock code off the phone. so i was able to go back and forth.
I've talked to some Bell reps before though, and they said that they wouldn't take the phone back if it's unlocked. I'm trying to buy it from Bell, and run it on Rogers

Well I remember that to unlock the Samsung you had to have root because the code was hidden inside the phone. The atrix is different you will have to get the code from somewhere (bell or buy it) Then put it in and its unlocked. I had the milestone it was on Telus and I unlocked it to work on Rogers Im going to be doing the same to the atrix.

its a very simple process
Heh... I returned one of my old Captivates to the AT&T warranty reps with a custom rom on it... he poked through the settings and if he DID notice... he didn't say anything. So I'm not really sure where their limits lie.
I was just looking on these forums for this.. so no possiblity i assume?
Appreantly bell has issues a warning not to accept atrix that are unlock to be returned.
Just an FYI...you should get an unlock code now for your phone before ATT takes over....ATT sometimes is a pain in the a$$ just to get a code...
You know, T-Mobile would have to unlock the phone before we awitch to AT&T. So we'll all have an unlocked phone by the time they merge, IF they merge.

Isn't the unlock code in the phone itself?

Could be wrong, but I think they "fixed" this in one of the OTA updates?
No, it never got fixed. An app on the market called SGS unlock, that basically does the unlock code for you.
You can unlock your phone with this simple aplication called SGS Unlock
If you have Eclair use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=554631&stc=1&d=1301355001
If you have FroYo use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=554632&stc=1&d=1301355001
Good luck

Well if you know how to use odin then downgrade to stock 2.1 then unlock your phone and then your phone is unlocked then flash whatever rom you want.

I havent been able to unlock my phone phone i bought it off ebay and i cant seem to unlock it. i bought the unlock code from two different unlock servers and they both appeared with the same code but it doesnt work i was wondering if anyone has had this same problem and was able to fix it. i would apreciate the help thanks in advance.
You have to wait a while for the unlock to go through. I've never unlocked my phone but I've seen videos so I have some knowledge

Something happened with OS in your phone. Maybe it was rooted, or maybe some error in the system. Any how. Just flash your phone with stock rom. The original firmware that it had, and the code should work. Also try factory reset first. That may work as well.
Good luck.

I have tried every 930u a and v combofile and qc engboot file I could find... I've done the FRO unlock on many before this but this one is nuts... i think she may have done something else I dunno/..
