Bought a rooted Captivate on ATT with ICS 4.0.4 and cyanogen 9. Tried to unlock it but could not get nv_data.bin to copy to my sdcard. Ended up just calling ATT and they gave me the code.
Forgive me if these answers are here. I looked, I couldn't find them.
Why doesn't cat /efs/nv_data.bin >> /sdcard/nv_data.bin result in the file being copied to the sdcard next to the sim card? Does that sdcard have a different name? I put an apk file on there via my computer (LOST.DIR was there from the phone, btw) but the phone said nothing was on the sdcard, which means I'm looking at the wrong sdcard somehow?
Why does my SGH-i897 have an i9000UGKG3 baseband and does that make the phone a GT-i9000 or is it still an i897?
Why does Google Play not allow registering a second device so that the app store can be accessed? I got the apk for the store downloaded and installed, but it just launches and then immediately closes.
I found KIESAIR-1.apk, downloaded it but that halts with a message "Application not installed." No idea why. Tried two versions of Kies Air. Both installations halted. I did check allow unknown sources. I want Kies Air because I cannot get USB to work with the phone on three different Windows laptops and that's a whole other kettle of fish.
Much appreciate any info you can share.
