SGH-i927 Captivate: Pegasus shows unlocked, but device prompting for unlock key - GSM-Forum

IceOnMars · 08-30-2013, 08:17

I performed the manual root:

* using the Insecure Kernel, and then
* flashing with the AT&T rooted ROM.

In Download Mode, using Odin 1.85, I flashed the kernel,
then rebooted the phone.

Then I shut the phone down,
and then booted up again into Download Mode, using Odin 1.85,
to flash the AT&T rooted ROM.

I then started Pegasus,
created the i927 Module,
set phone in USB Debugging Mode,
connected the MicroUSB cable, and clicked "Connect."

I got the following output in the i927 Module:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

[ --- CONNECTING TO THE PHONE --- ]
OPENING COM11 : COMPLETED
PDA VERSION : I927UCKI3
CSC VERSION :
SOFTWARE VERSION : I927UCKL1
PHONE IMEI : 3*****-**-******-2
MSL ADDRESS : R********3
PRODUCT CODE : SGH-I927ZKAATT
PRODUCTION DATE : -
CUSTOMER CODE : ATT
UNIQUE NUMBER : C*************E
MEMORY NAME : -
ADB DEVICE : SGH-I927 GINGERBREAD 2.3.5
ROOT STATUS : ROOTED
NEW CODE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM DETECTED!!!
PLEASE USE DIRECT UNLOCK OPTION TO UNLOCK THE PHONE!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I then clicked the "Unlock" link, now active after I'd clicked "Connect."
This added the following output, to that already shown above:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

[ --- UNLOCKING PHONE --- ]
UNLOCKING PHONE : COMPLETED

[ --- DISCONNECTING PHONE --- ]
DISCONNECTING PHONE : COMPLETED

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The phone then rebooted, and when it got to the lock screen, I disconnected the USB cable. Then, I shut the phone off, removed the battery, pressed the power button for 10sec
(to clear capacitors of residual voltage), and then inserted an active T-Mobile SIM card.

When I rebooted the phone and swiped the lock screen, I was then presented with a prompt to Enter Network Unlock Key.
There was a field to type the key, and two links underneath the field:

* Unlock
(which I'm guessing isn't much use
unless you've typed a valid unlock code

* Dismiss
(I clicked this to try to make a call, even though the SIM info wasn't
showing in AboutPhone/Status area.
Result was "Not registered on Network)

So basically Pegasus says my phone is unlocked,
but the phone prompts for an unlock key
when a T-Mobile (non-AT&T) SIM is installed.

Any advice? Did I miss anything, possibly a COM port issue, etc?
Thanks in advance!

PegasusBox, I know the thread's a bit aged, but I still have the i927 no-unlock issue.
I'm convinced that, when following the module's Hints for i927,
I need to flash using the insecure kernel from Pegasus Boot-Loader website
(instead of from other websites xda, etc.).
It's the only thing I can think of that I haven't tried.
