I cannot unlock my Samsung Galaxy S I9000

Hi guys I have been trying to unlock my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 for some time now with no luck. I have tried two (samsung unlock and the xda) methods and both has failed. There is a problem generating the codes. Maybe I did too much flashing in the begining I don`t know . Can anyone help me with this please? I have added a jpeg to see if that helps.

you get permission denied error ..
do this in terminal
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /efs/nv_data.bin
exit
exit
after this you can
Code:
adb pull /efs/nv_data.bin

Thanks for the quick response. but bare with me cause I don`t understand the instructions. How do I go about doing it in terminal?

I unlocked my SGS by using an app called Galaxy_S unlock by Helroz from the play store.
If it doesn't work try downgrading to froyo as I unlocked mine when I was on 2.2.

It seems you have adb.exe tool already installed but you get error because you do not have enough rights on your phone so get the rights by these lines..
by terminal here I mean cmd.exe from Windows
so enter cmd Start/Run/cmd.exe
then to start adb server enter this
Code:
adb devices
then in cmd enter
"adb shell" press Enter (in fact this is "terminal" - a way to get access on your phone and enter commands)
then "su" press Enter
and so on..
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /efs/nv_data.bin
exit
exit
lastly enter
Code:
adb pull /efs/nv_data.bin
now you get nv_data.bin on your PC check for this file in the folder where adb.exe is located usually ~\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe
You have the advantage of a well-known phone so there are solutions for everything
by example look here for a tutorial to unlock your phone
If you do not understand something let me know about
This is the case you want to work from scratch the easy way is to search on Market/ Google Play for an app to unlock this phone

Wow it is not easy to get past this image verification at all. Anywho............ So I have properly installed the SDK and I also installed a stock rom (I9000XXJP2) and rooted it and Now I get this result displayed in the attached pic. I have tried to follow the instructions given by ruscan.calin (and thanks for the "look here for a tutorial to unlock your phone" link) but I again I am back at a dead end.

replace on phone and give rights follow that tutor
I can help you but give me more details because I don't have this phone
what did you do ?

I installed the SDK and put in the path for the ADB folder. Then I installed a stock rom (I9000XXJP2) and rooted it although I think I did not have to root it. I then used the "Generate_Code" script from XDA. But I still don`t get the NCK and Freeze codes. Should I try another rom?

root is very important if not you can not play with nv_data.bin file...
what link ? and how did you do what steps I can't guess show me some logs screenshots anyway more info !

[QUOTE su
chmod 777 /efs/nv_data.bin
exit
exit
Then from the DOS command prompt:
adb pull /efs/nv_data.bin
Step 5: Select the file on the main Samsung Galaxy S Unlocker & Repair page
Step 6: Enter your desired Unlock and Unfreeze Codes and click the SUBMIT button
Step 7: Download the new file that is generated for you
Step 8: From ADB shell (Type "adb shell" at the DOS command prompt) or a terminal on your phone, enter the following commands to backup your current EFS related files, in case something goes wrong. ![/QUOTE]
After I have followed the instructions up to "steps 4" I am not sure what I should do for steps 5,6, and 7. I don`t know where "the main Samsung Galaxy S Unlocker" is. I included two pics of tmy adb shell (adb pull /efs/nv_data.bin)
I also copied an efs folder from my phone onto my pc.

My sincere apologies to you my friend. I was able to unlocked my SGS after I followed your advice of downgrading to froyo and then I continued with the tutorial I got through Member ruscan.calin. So excess amount of thanks to you both. I will make sure to properly BACKUP my SGS3 before I touch it. I have learnt my lesson. Thanks again.

Hi,
You can unlock your Samsung Galaxy S I9000 using unlock codes!! Unlocking using codes is easy and also safe!! You can get the codes from your service provider or from reliable online sites!!!Personally, I would suggest prounlocking.com , here they provide accurate codes at reasonable price!!!

[GUIDE] Rooting your phone...from your phone [ALL US SGS3]

Rooting your phone...from your phone (what?!)
DISCLAIMER: I do not expect anything to go wrong as I have personally tested this. However, YOU are choosing to make these modifications to your phone so I DO NOT take responsibility for any damage that may come as a result of using this. If you come back and point the finger at me, I will laugh at you.
If your phone is not an SGS3, this MAY still work for you. I take absolutely NO responsibility either way.
Prerequisites
The following files are attached to this post for convenience. Download and install the apps, download and extract the zip file somewhere convenient.
Superuser by Koush(MUST be this one. You can change it later if you so desire.)
Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich ( MUST be this one)
Zip file, extracted somewhere convenient

THE GOODS
These generic names will be used:
/path/to/motochopperDir - This is the full path to the extracted motochopper-mobile DIRECTORY or FOLDER. Example: /sdcard/motochopper-mobile (will vary depending on where you extracted the files).
NOTE: After running the script, Motochopper may or may not print "Failed", but the exploit DOES indeed work regardless of this. Make sure you reboot for changes to take effect.

Download the attached zip file AND both apps.
Install Terminal Emulator and Superuser (use a file manager, navigate to the downloaded .apk files and click on each file to install them).
Open up Terminal Emulator and type the following commands. Press the ENTER key after each command.
Code:
cd /path/to/motochopperDir
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /path/to/motochopperDir
From there, my setup.sh script will handle the rest of the process. If you are still unsure, see my sample run below.
Sample run (files were extracted to /sdcard/moto)
Code:
cd /sdcard/moto
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /sdcard/moto

Jack Palevich and Koush for their apps, especially Jack Palevich. This would not be possible without the shared permissions on his app's data directory.

Flash counters, etc?
Will this method increment any of the flash counters, turn on the triangle etc??

No, it will not. That's the point, there's no need to use ODIN.
The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.

Not working on new ATT S3 I747
This tool is not working for me. I have tried several times. I always get a 'failed' msg.
I have a 2 day old brand new S3 i747 from ATT. Stock JB 4.1.1
I extracted the motochopper-mobile.zip files to /storage/sdcard0/moto/.
The setup.sh script is in the /data/data/jackpal.androidterm after it is run. The other moto related files are not there as if the script had run ok.
After the reboot superuser needs a new binary and fails when the binary update is attempted.
All other root sensitive apps fail.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
FIXED:
I used the download/instructions on the OP on the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248
While it does not do all the work from the S3 and must be loaded from a Windows environment , it did the job perfectly.
Flash counter, triangle etc. not triggered!!

Try downloading the files and run it again.
I tested it by deleting my su binary and then I ran this tool and rebooted. And BAM, su was placed in /system once again and superuser was fine.
If it still doesn't work, go to the original Motochopper thread and follow the instructions there using your computer.
The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.

Files are now attached to the OP.

Yes, but so far I have only been able to confirm that it works on a couple Sprint phones...you can try it, but I can't guarantee that it will actually root your phone
It finely don't brick it though, if you're worried.

So i just tried following every single step but it wont allow for SU binaries to update. When i finished each line of code, it said FAILED and to reboot/battery pull which I did.. Not sure what to do. I was hoping it worked.. did I do something wrong? I even tried installing superuser from the app store and it wasnt updating binaries either.. TitaniumBackup didnt work...

I don't know. Just use the regular method of using ODIN to send a recovery and then flash SU :\

If you extracted to that directory, then the command you need to run is "./setup.sh /storage/extsdcard/motochopperdir"
But first you need to do "cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm" if you're not already in that directory.

[Recovery][TWRP][ATT-ONLY!] Flashable TWRP recovery!

Hello everyone!
Here's another release thread for y'all!
What is this?
This is a flashable TWRP recovery for the Optimus G Pro.
Special thanks to @djrbliss
You can safely flash this to your phone's recovery and enjoy modding bliss!​
How do I use this, and where do I get it?
Good question!
There are two ways to use the files provided here.
To Flash to Recovery:
I've created an easy installer for all you Windows folks!
Download this: http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg_pro/gkatt/recovery/e98010g/easy-twrp-e98010g.zip
Extract it to somewhere on your computer.
Enable USB debugging on your phone, if you need the drivers I've included them in the "files/drivers" folder in the zip
Run the 'install.bat' script.
Check for any errors, if it was successful, you can 'adb reboot recovery' or use an app on your phone to get you into TWRP now!
Profit! (and realize that this was pretty easy!)
(thanks to hkfriends for pointing out the errors in my script!)
OR..
Download this file to somewhere on your computer https://github.com/djrbliss/loki/raw/master/bin/loki_flash
Download this file http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg_pro/gkatt/recovery/e98010g/gkatt-twrp-e98010g.lok
Run the following:
Code:
adb push loki_flash /data/local/tmp
adb push gkatt-twrp-e98010g.lok /data/local/tmp
abd shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 755 loki_flash
./loki_flash recovery gkatt-twrp-e98010g.lok
To boot
Download this file: http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg_pro/gkatt/recovery/e98010g/gkatt-twrp-e98010g.img
Use fastboot boot to boot it
DO NOT FLASH THE .IMG FILE TO YOUR PHONE. It is only meant for fastboot booting.​
Where can I find the source you used to build this?
All on my github!
http://github.com/thecubed/
Or, follow my guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43514195​
What can I do with this?
Right now, the possibilities are unlimited. Once a security-lax boot.img is released, we can flash that through recovery and let the modding commence.
Please remember though, modding /system with the stock boot.img will result in a security error!​
What works, and what doesnt?
I have not tested external SD cards, since I don't have one with me at work.
I have also not tested backups or restores in TWRP yet.​
Can you show me a video?
Why yes I can!
As usual, please pardon the crappy camera work.​
I <3 you so much, how do I show my love?
You are so kind
I most definitely do not expect donations of any kind, however they are appreciated a lot.
I purchased this phone off-contract just to get it unlocked, if you are a kind soul and would like to send me a token of your appreciation I would love you forever.
XDA has a neat "Donate to me" button that should be on the left side of this page under my name. Donations go to purchasing new hardware to work on and other neat stuff, so they're always appreciated.​
Special Thanks!
In no particular order, special thanks to all of you guys!

If I forgot anyone, let me know and I'll add you here!
​
Alright guys! Let me know if you find any bugs!

This is killer, I love twrp. So this will just over flash the cwm currently added earlier of course correct? Awesome work m8:thumbup:
EDIT: Not sure why but the Loki flash file downloads as a. Txt file for me

Touch doesn't work? You have the ATT version, right?
That'd be very strange if it didn't work because of something in my kernel... it's pretty much just stock...

That's weird... I've been testing with that exact command and it's not doing it.
Can you possibly pull the kernel logs and pastebin them?
Do this while you're booted in recovery:
Code:
adb shell
dmesg > /sdcard/twrp_kmsg.txt
[press ctrl-c after a few seconds]
adb pull /sdcard/twrp_kmsg.txt
Thanks!

Can you check to ensure that you have the ADB driver installed for your system? It is possible that your desktop hasn't installed the ADB interface while the phone is in recovery mode.
Start -> devmgmt.msc [enter]
Look to see if you have any unknown devices or "Android Phone" entries with no driver installed. That should do the trick.

Here's an interesting question... if you flash CWM instead, and press the softkeys at the bottom of the phone (the normal back and menu buttons) does anything happen? It looks like your touchscreen is being brought up successfully (despite the "[ 8.270257 / 03-05 11:00:29.766] Reflash Completed. Please reboot." line)
If softkeys work in CWM, then it means that something in TWRP isn't registering your touchscreen right. I'll look into that, should be fairly straightforward.
If softkeys don't work in CWM... that means something more strange. That means my kernel (or the boot commands I'm using) aren't compatible with your phone... which is indeed possible, since there are many revisions of each phone. (I hope this isn't the case!)

[Guide] [Z1s] for Root For Sony Xperia Z1s T-mobile (C6916)

Hello Everyone! I would like to make a guide for Rooting our Sony Xperia Z1s for T-mobile, I tried this with Android 4.3 Firmware 14.2.C.0.159.
This is my first Post so if i make a mistake please let me Know.
Thanks to Jcase and his pwn file to make this root Posible.
This is just the way how i did it and worked for me.
I AM NOT RESPOSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES, THIS IS JUST A GUIDE FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE JCASE EXPLOID.
Requirements:
Well, first of all you have to make sure that your computer have the correct adb drivers installed and you can go into it.
Debugging mode On. (Developer options, USB Debugging Checked)
Download the JCASE pwn (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53407127&postcount=1004)
Download the Adb Drivers Updated (http://www.mediafire.com/download/41lx6p71xxit1ax/ADB+Drivers_Updated.zip) Thanks to Droidextra.org, UJJWAL KUMAR.
Process:
1- With the two zip files downloaded you will unzip it in the Local Disk (C), Create a folder with a name like "Root Tool" And unzip the files there, just like these: Check attached picture.
2- Press Shift on the keyboard and right click and then "open a Command Prompt here"
3- Check if your Sony Xperia Z1s its working well in the adb typing: adb devices. If it says failed, you have to check your adb drivers, if not, you're going good.
4- So if all its going well, just type this on command prompt (Thanks JCASE)
adb push pwn /data/local/tmp/pwn
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/pwn

Sorry about that, SuperSu its giving to you this error because the rooting it's not done, please check that your phone its adb recognizable with "adb devices" in CMD, Remember to Unistall Super Su if you get the error and Reboot in order to try again.

Okay so after working at this for a couple of hours I finally got it to work. For some reason, I wasn't able to uninstall SuperSu because it had been installed as a system app and I could only disable it, or uninstall updates from it. After trying over and over, I found this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53442704&postcount=1075&nocache=1&z=9157358331140130
Here, they include the exact same method in this thread, with one extra step; creating a boot script to maintain root/system permissions. Im not exactly sure how it works, but i followed the instructions provided by the links and then, after rebooting, was able to install binaries, and achieve full root (FINALLY!!) So if anybody has the same problem I did, try this out

Nice! I'm happy To heard that! JCase said in his post that some people will have this problem to write to system, but in my case i was able to, now we have to find a working recovery in order to have a custom rom or something like that, Some people say that xzdualrecovery works for z1s, but it is in beta version, if you find something please let us know.

Hey Thanks for Reply, that's the reason because i said de Final Acces, because we can acces to bootloader because branded phones can't have bootloader unlocked.:fingers-crossed:

[ROOT]How to Root KVT49L.D85110r and Install TWRP. My experience

I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this. Moderators, Please feel free to remove it or relocate it
First of all thanks to all amazing people on this forum ( thecubed,777jon,Dees_Troy, chainfire, supernoman, crashfocus, etc)
This is not my work . It is a compilation of what it worked for me from the work made by others. It is directly toward newbie users.
Instructions
1- Make sure you install LG G3 drivers in your computer( you can get them attached on this thread). Connect phone to the PC using USB cable. Make sure the phone is recognized when you plug it in with the usb cable
Also phone shall be connected as Media device (MTP), if it is in Charge Phone change it to MTP.
Scroll down this post. You will find the correct usb drivers attached. Install them in your pc.
2- Enable Developer options in your phone on Setting > General> About phone > Software information > and click seven times Build number until it enables it
3- Enable USB debugging on your LG G3 from your phones Settings > Developer options > tick ‘USB debugging’ check box. A window should pop up in your phone display to allow USB debugging. Select Allways Allow from This Computer and hit OK.
It will also be convenient to Enable installation of apps from Unknown Sources: Open phone’s Settings » select Security » Tick the “Unknown sources” check box (under Device administration section)
4- Download and unzip
- Pupledrake-Lite at http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g3/purpledrake/PurpleDrake-Lite_R03.tar.gz Thanks to Codefi.re
- Download and unzip the attached ADB LOCAL READY with TWRP recovery.img
Thanks to @Dees_Troy & TeamWin - for TWRP Touch recovery
ATTACHMENT IS HERE- JUST CLICK HERE
5- Download -Latest SuperSu at http://download.chainfire.eu/641/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip Thanks to Chainfire
6- Transfer UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip to the internal sdcard
7- Open Purpledrake-Lite and Run purpledrake_windows.bat. It should detect your devices if it is not, you need to check if the drivers were installed properly and unplug-plug back your phone.
Hit Enter as instructed on the computer screen until it gains temporary root.
IMPORTANT : READ AND DO NOT CONTINUE TO PERMANENT ROOT INSTRUCTIONS DISPLAYED. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTINUE WITH ADB INSTEAD.
Hit Ctrl+C to exit to use adb.
This process takes a few seconds and The phone start on download mode and it will stay on it.
8- Open ADB LOCAL READY folder you downloaded and hit Start Here.bat
Type "adb devices" to ensure that your phone is connected and it accept adb commands . On list of devices attached it should show LGD851........
Unplug it and plug it back if it is not .
NOTE: SOME PEEPS HAVE REPORTED PROBLEM WITH ADB NOT WORKING PROPERLY ON USB 3.0 PORTS. PLEASE USE USB 2.0 PORTS
9- Type "adb push recovery.img /temp"
You will see that it pushes the data. it should take a few seconds
Note: you may need to push it a few times if you do not find the recovery file on the /temp folder when you do step 12.
Some members stated that they need to push it ..5 times.
rubbamade tip
" This does work. If after you do the "adb push....", Hit the up key on your keyboard. What you just typed " adb push...." will appear again. Hit enter. It will "push" again. Hit up again. Hit enter. Do this at least 5 times. Now proceed with next step "adb shell"..... Should work now"
For some reason others user needed to push it more than 5 times, i assume that it is due to the file size of the image and your operating system and pc settings(i used win7). It is recommended to verify if it was pushed on step 12.
10- Type "adb shell" and it should go to shell command $
11- Then type "/temp/fakesu". This will put you in a superuser shell on your device. It should show su command line # .
12- Type "ls /temp" to make sure that recovery.img and fakesu are in /temp folder . If it is not, then you did not complete correctly the above instructions..repeat it
13- Type "dd if=/temp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery". it will take a few seconds to complete and install TWRP recovery.
14- Type type "reboot recovery" It should boot onto TWRP Touch recovery. it could take a few but it should
15- Once in TWRP, select install,go to the SD card directory, select UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip and install it. Reboot the phone once complete. Do not panic, it should take a while to cook and update applications, but it will, be patient.
16- Your device is rooted and with TWRP custom recovery. IF you do not see SuperSu in your application drawer, do not panic, just install it from the Play Store.
17- Now you are ready to install custom Roms, any application that requires root, or enjoy root features.

Your experience is very interesting vcurbel!
I was under the impression there was no way to root untouched stock 10R.
It would appear you have found a way! :good: Thanks for your contribution.
I am curious if anyone else has replicated this?

thank you so much had a little trouble but successfully rooted my device

Where was this guide yesterday?
Last week I just thought rooting build R was impossible as of yet, got fed up, and 5 minutes ago ran the LG Update tool to revert my phone back to stock/ Build C and root that way.

13- Type "dd if=/temp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery". it will take a few seconds to complete and install TWRP recovery.

Edit: Nevermind, had to repush recovery. Didn't go through properly the first time. Thank you
Everything worked great. Thank you for the guide! Rooted on 10r!

Your phone is a [ LG-D851 ] on [ TMO ] running SW version [ V10r ] ...
Alright. We're ready to go. We're going to temproot your phone first. Press enter when you're ready!

Here is the problem. You pressed to continue (enter) to create permanent root after temporary root was created
You need to press CTRL C instead , then it will exit......then continue to next step with ADB LOCAL READY.
Ill clarify this better on step 7.

Once I click CTRL C screen disappears then I go to ADB file and follow procedures. IT STILL DOES NOT WORK
That's what I do. I clicked enter first time rooting following purple instructions. Then I realized it does not work with January update. I run purple drake again (after I found this "fix") and, as I said, I DO NOT PROCEED WITH ENTER. I use CTRL C. The window closes and I open ADB, then click start hereand follow the rest of the procedures. So YES I did click enter once initially (because purple drake post is not updated that it does not work with JAN 15 update).

Did you run it as Administrator?
Did you install LG drivers and the device is being recognized as Media device?

It seems your windows os is missing the default mintty.exe terminal...
Google it and you will find a solution to manually install it.
Or use other pc

If I recall if the PD batch file/script is closing on you or giving you trouble, then you can run the script manually.
See link below to thecubed PD lite thread and read the 5th grey portion down of the OP, it is titled:
"But, what if I don't want to run your script to root?"
If you must use command line because the PD batch file/script is closing immediately just be sure to STOP after gaining temporary root!
From OP step 7:
IMPORTANT : READ AND DO NOT CONTINUE TO PERMANENT ROOT INSTRUCTIONS DISPLAYED. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTINUE WITH ADB INSTEAD. [/FONT]

dd if=/temp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
This command doesn't work for me. It shows, "cannot open for read: no such file or directory".
Can you help?
Edit: Nevermind, had to repush recovery. Didn't go through properly the first time. Thank you
Everything worked great. Thank you for the guide! Rooted on 10r!

Hello,
I am also having the same issue. I tried the above steps a couple times and am not sure if I am doing something wrong (more than likely I am). What did you mean by repush recovery?

Try step 9 again
9- Type "adb push recovery.img /temp"
You will see that it pushes the data. it should take a few seconds

Let me know on which step you got stuck.
Ill try to help you

Yes, The phone is recognized and the file as you see was pushed (see script above). I think there is some issue with this method, as other people are reporting problems following the procedure in post #1??!! I guess it work for some and it does not for others.
