UNLOCK Help, Please

OK, I'm trying to unlock a Vibrant for someone else. I have read and tried several methods with no success yet.
I had Axura 2.2 and tired the SGSUnlock with no luck
I ODIN'd back to stock20100512.pit / t959UVJFD.tar and SGSUnlock still doesn't work. Ive tried two variants of it, nothing.
I have limited experience with ADB (driver issues between multiple devices so I use ADBWireless) and was able to get an nv_data.bak and used a hex gen to get this (screenshot).

According to notes, I'm to find the code separated by periods, but I have no periods. Anyone have an idea or can lead me to a quick fix?
Remaining questions, once I generate a code, will the code I use at stock 2.1 work once I flash 2.2 back on?
Thanks for any help or guidance, much appreciated!

anyone? Bump?

You're out of luck as far as SGS Unlock goes. Any ROM update JI6 or later corrupts the code in the nv_data.bin file. There is this method thanks to helroz that has worked though.

thanks for that... Seems like work Will an unlock code from TMO still work outright?

If you use this method I don't think so since it changes the actual code. You could always call TMO and get the code instead of doing it this way as well. Think it usually takes a few days.

If you need a unlock. Hit me up. No matter the rom. no matter the lock.

Same here. I need to unlock a vibrant I just got.

If you just got it then you are still on 2.1? Just search the market for "SGS Unlock", that'll do it.

Rooted phone refuses to activate fully

Hey there. I have a rooted Sprint Galaxy S5. Recently I realized the WiFi Hotspot I'm paying for just doesn't work. It enables. It allows devices to connect. It remains turned on. But any device that connects to my phone fails to achieve an Internet connection.
Yesterday I took my phone in to a Sprint representative who spent a valiant amount of time trying to fix my phone. Unfortunately when he entered ##72786#, the phone started an update process that completely screwed up my activation. I believe he later reprogrammed the phone, but the S5 is still obsessively trying to "finish" activating.

}
(fun fact: right now when I google "reporting firmware version to server ", nothing is returned. Maybe this'll put it on the map.)
When it's done trying, I see "firmware update not completed."
I've been seeing these messages since yesterday. And I hadn't no idea if any of this has to do with my device being rooted. Rooting is really all I've done, no ROMs or anything of that nature have been attempted... only SDFix and SELinux Mode Changer were run using it.
But I HAVE had activation woes before. When I enabled tethering on my phone, it took the better part of the day for sprint to reactivate it. And I was flying, so the process took several major cities before its success. And this was well before I rooted.
Tl;dr is it possible to use the stock Hotspot and reactivate your sprint phone while rooted with your device in a Custom status?

.... bump
I'm probably just going to factory reset my phone. Is it safe to do when rooted?

Yeah, it's safe. I've never heard of such a problem so let us know if it works after f.resetting it

I did it via Samsung Kies... this seemed safest. I used to have negative experiences with custom ROMS and ultimately decided this was the best way to go forward.
P.S. Kies is like iTunes but it doesn't suck and it doesn't require a whole lot of authentication. I just learned this. I did a text message backup and restore and that worked great. An app backup was a lot more hit-and-miss; only the apps were backed up, not the data.

So you fixed it this way? ☺

Did Factory Reset fix the message="reporting firmware version to server ", as I'm considering doing it...Thank You...

Wow - like a scene from "Polar Express".
Settings -> About phone -> Hardware information -> SKU
Note: carriers can put in whatever they want in this field as it is informational only; I have also seen it come up blank.

Need to get back to stock.

Hey all,
I am running one of JKRuze's ROMS and have been for over a year. It's basically a slightly modified, non-rooted version of Android 7.0. My spotify has quit working, and one of the final questions their support team asked me is if I am running a modified OS on my phone. ****. So, I need to go back to stock. I tried following a method on here, but it failed to Odin. Anyone know if there is a thread around here with best method to get back to stock?

ODIN is the only method i know,never failed for me. try downloading files again( personally using U firmware)

Where can I get the latest U firmware? I have not been able to find a reliable link.

Yeah, I went to that link from another post last night, and for the life of me, could not figure out how to download. I hate when sites do that. Hide the download link in some obscure location with a bunch of other buttons with the word download in big letters that just lead you to some other bogus garbage...

Thanks.. That link says it is for SM-G935U. I've got the SM-G935V, will it still work?

Please help. I thought I had installed stock, but now my phone will not connect to cellular data. Data link seems fine.
Update... Never mind, I believe I have it figured out. I did not add the BL, CP, and CSC slots via odin.
