do i need a sd card in order for this to work and when i follow the steps in sdk i get a message that says cannot open for write: read only file system
and where do i look to find the .bak file
Anyone know how to change the title of a thread on this forum? This unlock method is now confirmed by a ton of people.
Hey sounds like you're trying the hard way. Can you try the easy way first and see if that works.
Yes then you do need the sdcardYeah i got it to work the easy way, I was just trying to see if I could get it the hard way
Galaxy S Unlocker
============
The Code is below. The Mac version of The Galaxy S Unlocker was made by NBS11. This method of obtaining the unlock code was found by dagentooboy. Also thanks to bowsa2511 for helping make the script. Donate links for them can be found on the XDA forum link below. Please remember to donate to me like this program at http://bit.ly/cplmLk (paypal only).
strings: can't open file: ./nv_data.bin (No such file or directory)

Your code is:
Guide to entering code:
1. Power off phone, 2. Put in other carriers SIM, 3. Turn on phone, 4. Enter unlock code. BE EXTRA CAREFUL; ENTERING IT WRONG ONCE WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE, 5. You are now unlocked. Congratulations.

Also, if the unlock code doesn't work and it freezes your SIM, enter this code:
rm: ./nv_data.bin: No such file or directory
logout
[Process completed]
this keeps happening what's wrong?
It looks like he's using JH7 where they locked the permissions of nv_data. SGS Unlocker (currently) no longer works in that case.
Unfortunately, the easy-peasy SGS unlocker app doesn't work after the Captivate OTA update in october. This is confirmed by myself and loads of other comments on the App site. HOWEVER, if like me you unlocked your phone BEFORE the OTA update using the code the app provided, (you should still have the code saved on ur phone's internal SD card), then the unlock should still be working.
Whoa whoa whoa what now?PS. I've included a link to xda about the code, so don't just type in random codes in your phone if the original poster doesn't know what he is saying because there is at least one code that resets and formats EVERYTHING and luckily I had backed up my phone after using that code on the advice of just one poster on here.
Yes, if you unlock your phone then you can still upgrade to froyoWow thanks for the heads up. My question is if this is done will 2.2 still work?
Yes, Mul might be correct. I just got my new Captivate, which comes with JH7 update. It seems that SGS unlock method does not work on it. Any other methods?

You can do it manually in JH7, just get root and do:

If you have JI6/Froyo/2.2, you'll have to wait until someone else figures out how to extract since it's now encrypted/obfuscated. I don't think flashing back will work either (or so I heard).
Yep it works.
I used HexWorkshop for windows to find the code
I did the following...
Code:... 51531930 is the unlock code! ... the second set of numbers (separated by periods). Pop in a foreign SIM and it'll ask you for an unlock code. Punch this baby in and you're unlocked!
