Unlocking Vibrant

Hi there,
I am pretty new with this stuff, as I just got this phone today. It came with Froyo2.2 so I unrooted it back to the original JFK.
It did not come with a sim card, so I do not have a sim inside the phone as of now. But I do have a bell sim that I will use after to put the unlock key in... Is that okay?
I Connected the vibrant through Mini Kies and the MTP application says its connected.
I just re rooted from J16 back to the original.
I have the 64 bit drivers installed.
When I try to run Generate Unlock Windows Script I get the following error message saying...
Copy nv_data.bin
*daemon not running. Starting it now *
*daemon started succesfully *
error: device not found
error unable to find file <.\nv_data.bin>
could not find C:\documents and settings\1\desktop\key\generateunlockwindows\nv_data.bin
Anyone know what this means?
Or know what to do in this situation?
I am not sure if I should try installing the 32bit drivers or what.

how did you downgrade the phone from android 2.2?
I just bought the phone through ebay with the OS already at 2.2, and the phone is locked to t-mobile. I've heard it is not possible to unlock it with the 2.2 update. Is that true?

Yup, having exact same problem. If you find a fix let me know.

Make sure your usb setting is on debug and you have all of the files for the unlock on your pc. You also need java installed.
That method worked for me from stock.

can someone answer my question?

I don't know whether the unlock methods work with Froyo but you can download a 2.1 stock Odin in the forum.

Fixing so-called "Bricks"/Odin Errors
This guide is open to contribution/editing/correcting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOT CYCLE
This is where you get the annoying Samsung Screen/Galaxy S screen.
DOWNLOAD REQUIRED (CREDITS TO JUSTANOTHERCROWD):
1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by following the steps below
*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen (keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)
*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.
*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.
2. Unplug phone from USB
3. Open Odin (in Administrator if you're running W7 or Vista), try one of the ones I attached to this post, at least one of them is bound to work, some don't work for me, but works for others, some doesn't work for others, but works for me, whatever floats your boat
4. Load in the files into Odin that you have downloaded from above Just load in the files corresponding to the text field.
DO NOT CHECK REPARTITION.
5. Plug in your phone with the DL mode
6. Click start and wait for the magic
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO-BOOT PHONES
This is where your phone does NOT turn on, no combo of buttons works and power button does nothing.
DO THIS ONLY WHEN YOU PLUG IN YOUR PHONE AND NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN!!! If else, follow the steps from above.
This method is basically same as above, EXCEPT the way you get into Download Mode as your phone is HARD BROKEN.
1. Download all the files required in the "BOOT CYCLE" section of this post.
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Unplug phone from USB
8. Follow steps 4-8 from the "BOOT CYCLE" section.
Troubleshooting:
-Odin stuck at some random process?
*Switch to another odin
*Make sure you did NOT check repartition, if you did, just repeat all the steps over again, except for the downloading parts, obviously.
-Phone not responsive?
*Try "NO-BOOT PHONES"section of this guide
-Phone stuck at Galaxy S logo screen?
*Put it in to DL mode, and run Odin again, it's just a bad install.
-All three ODIN is nonfunctional, stuck or giving "FAILED" errors?
*DO NOT CLOSE ODIN ONCE IT HAS FAILED!
*Unplug your phone
*Replug in your phone, get it into DL mode
* Unplug once it is in DL mode
*Replug and ODIN should recognize your phone
*Leave all the settings the same, then click "Start" again.
-Cannot get into download mode using the method I listed? Use the method(s) below:
Soldering Method
More methods coming soon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know how much of a pain posting in the Q/A section can be and the wait time is pretty bad, so if you need help regarding UNBRICKING and ONLY UNBRICKING feel free to post in here.[/S​

If you want help you are going to have to be a lot more specific. What have you actually tried?
Just a tip, people will not help you on these forums if you ask for help without showing you've tried to solve the problem and know how to search.
There are loads of unlock threads. Almost everyone get one method to work eventually.

NV item fail

I was following a guide to flash to boost.. but I wasn't flashing to boost but from sprint to sprint so as to avoid paying for a dataplan. Anyways.. when I copied my nv files from upstage to Epic 4G in CDMA workshop, my phone restarted and BAM! My phone gets no signal - stuck in airplane mode, Can open browsers, market.. some apps works but only a few. Unkown in baseband and firmware version under settings..
can this be solved or is my phone done for? Did I just trash my 400 bucks?
I've already tried resetting.. used odin to put in stock ROM/modem.. none of that worked. I did the 1, camera, power reset..
Thanks in advance for the help.

so, that's it? It's bricked?

I think what he means is the topic you are discussing is illegal. This thread will probably going o be closed by a mod and further discussion may get you banned. just saying.

oh... dang.. I didn't know its illegal if I was doing exchange between both phones owned by me. oh well.. then.. the mod can close it if it's illegal.. sorry.

If your are able to put the phone in download mode (1 key + power ), then you shouldn't be bricked.
You will need a full .tar file. With being able to get into download mode and a full .tar file, everything should be re-wriiten as to get rid of what "failed" That should bring your Epic back to being an "Epic". From there, you can re-try the Boost thing - - - or not.

I used a tar.md5
should I use a tar file rather? the one I used was about 280 MB..
do you know if the NV items are a part of ROM or what? because that is what I've screwed up..
Oh and thanks for being helpful rather than just telling me its illegal.. as long as I get my phone back to the way it used to be.. I dont mind.. I'm not gonna try the flash again!

use odin and re-flash.. after that, do a ##RTN# that should restore it completely to as stock as you're gonna get.

No problem. I saw your post as a question about how to get your phone back to normal - - after a "questionable" procedure. Not one of how to actually do something questionable/illegal now. Once you get your phone back to normal, what you do after that is up to you! Now, with all that being said . . . . on to other things!
I think that if you find a full STOCK .tar file - not one that has been deodexed and pre-rooted - it will overlay all ROM files with Stock sprint files. I have one on my laptop at home and can post it for you when I get home from work if you haven't found one on your own by then.
Hope this helps!
Edit: You didn't, by chance, use the Epic-to-Boost switch that has been posted on this site for some time did you? If I'm not mistaken, it's still on here somewhere, so I think the "phone police" will probably leave you alone - - this time!!

odin wont touch the NV items.. thats wasted time. if you backed them up, then rewrite them.. if not.. that sucks. hopefully you can find someone who will back them up for you. sounds like you wrote an entire nv read from another phone to your epic, which is not a great idea, considering they are different phones, with different writable memory locations and whatnot. and you wrote something to the modem area which throws an exception in rtn reset... best bet is to take the file you wrote, and give those memory addresses to someone with an epic and ask them to read those addresses and see if writing their dump will help you..

Screwed my phone

Hello,
I'm in the UK and last night I got an OTA update for my S4, turns out it was for Lollipop 5.0.1 from kitkat (cant recall exactly which). The update appeared to go fine but after I noticed that the back button and the other touch button didn't work or light up (straight after the update).
After panicking and stupidly trying things on the internet, I tried to install kitkat using Odin, following a different example someone else used (cant find it now) but that failed and now I have (foolishly) soft bricked the phone (I hope, anyway).
When I try turning it on, I get a message telling me to use kies to recover the software but neither Kies or Kies3 recognise it. Kies just constantly tried to load it and Kies3 tells me it isn't compatible. Neither list it for emergency restore.
Odin doesn't seem to work with any .tar files. Some fail early, some fail near the end.
I can send a picture of a screenshot of a failed odin for a 4.4 Kitkat flash.
Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

With the error you're apparently having, the .tar.md5 file should be in the BL/Bootloader slot in Odin. Then flash. Placing the file in BL should rewrite the bootloader and thus fix the corruption issue caused by your panic attack.
If the firmware is already located in BL, then check your cables and your other connections. Also, do not plug the phone in until AFTER you've entered download mode on it.

Here you have a Base ROM (HOH2) with 4files+PIT: https://mega.nz/#!cg0DWTIR!rQIPicJdKj16B4kqE5GT43HWvoUa32ny8ys5wAWJV3Q
Flash ur phone using each file on the right field of Odin (including the PIT) and with Re-Partition TICKED.

Important. What about refurbished g3, flashing wrong kdz will cause a super brick, first off all check the variant from the motherboard or just on the back of phone.

Guys one thing to be kept in mind.most of refurbished d855 doesn't come d855 board.so such errors arise because of wrong model of recovery flashing.so confirm your model by opening your phone and looking at the board.

Thank you so much! What would I do without you

Got "Boot verification failed" when I got into the secret menu and tried to do "device test".
I got Fulmics 6 ROM installed and the device failed for some reason to load the MiniOS (used by the "device test").
Wasted about 5 hours until I got to this post.
This post was so useful I almost cried out of joy.
THANKS!!!
EDIT:
mirrored the files in dropbox:

I tried with willcracker version and it worked. You can download from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359

Just a few questions before I begin, I'm obviously... u know :
1. First, I install the drivers. In what state should the phone be in when I connect it to the PC? Probably in the only possible state, that means with the screen blank and the red and blue leds blinking, correct?
2. Do I have to remove the battery before connecting the phone?
3. Flashing the last partition, sbl1, causes the phone to reboot, right? So, in the last step when flashing the kdz, does the phone have to be in download mode?
Thanks!

Np bro.

Please help me. I have installed all drivers but my G3 D855 is not getting detected by my pc. My pc is running on Windows 7 64bit. Please help me..!

in case anyone is bothering with this in 2020+ on windows10, i did run into a few hiccups and managed to boot a 'bricked' phone I bought for 50 eur
1. Only install the approproate driver for your windows architecture of QDLoader
2. If LGFlashTool2014 is demanding mfc100.dll, you need to install a Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package, yes, the x86 one: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555
3. If after launching LGFlashTool2014 once, then closing, then launching again it doesn't turn on, you need to follow these steps: go to C:\Users\<YourWindowsUsername>\AppData\Local\Temp and delete everything you can, these are temporary files that programs on your pc store, they're not important, but LGFlashTool2014 for some reason makes some files that prevent it from launching
Since then the phone crashed a few times so I understand now how it got bricked, a faulty motherboard most likely, going to try baking it as described here: https://redd.it/5e0nx7 but this is irrelevant to the thread and just here for anyone stumbling upon in the distant dystopian future

Very informative post.

I hope you fix your problem friend.

I tried to create a new combination file to flash to delete the frp but I need a password doe the AP,BL ECT I got the firmware from Sam firmware extracted the 5 files fine but can't change to zip without password.

You can search for combination file instead, I got those sites here and here from just typing "G955W combination file" into google.
If it still fails - Though I doubt - try this tool then, I can't confirm if it's working or if it's safe though.
Also code is encrypted so I can't confirm if it contains malicious code. So it may be unsafe both for your android and for your PC lol.
Maybe you can use it on a windows sandbox.
