It'll work exactly the same way

So the Japanese Docomo version is different from the UK or US GSM one?
I always get my android phones from oversea but this time I was thinking to buy it in Japan as I am living here. I don't want to find any sim lock or retarded docomo customization. I tried the Galaxy Nexus in a docomo shop and I didn't find any differences from the one I saw from youtube. Can you confirm that?
Thanks

I've had mine for a couple of days. Seems pretty stock, even the boot screen just says 'Google', a nice refresh.
Differences I've noticed;
Baseband - SC04DOMKKD
SP-Mode shortcut - points to a webpage explaining it's coming soon
No tethering - coming in Jan, supposedly
Course I haven't used a non-JP one, so I could be missing more.
As a note
Kernel - 3.0.1-ge2433f2 [email protected]#1
Build number - ITL41D.SC04DOMKKD

Flashed?
Anyone tried to flash it with a custom rom or an AOSP build?
I'm wondering if the different baseband version will cause any issues.

I'm using ARHD1.3.1 with franco's kernel on docomo SC-04D baseband.
until now, working well smoothy

Hi godelsproof,
I'm a first time android user, so I'm still a bit confused with all the terminology.
Regarding our flat rate data plans, baseband versions have no information related to this right ? I mean, if we change our baseband (to get rid of sim lock), our flat rate plans will still work ok ?
Regarding sim lock, before buying, I talked with Docomo sales rep, and he said that our phones are not sim locked, if we go to our own country, and insert a local sim, it should work. But at least trying my own SIM here says phone is locked, and emergency calls only...
What are the advantages to change to franco's kernel, in Galaxy Nexus? At least on some Nexus S thread, people are saying the performance improves quite a bit... I guess we can get more perf also from our horses ?

Now Im using a sc-04d, and change to xxkk1 baseband sucessful. Just as same as the uk one.
sc-04d has a simlock, but you can go to docomo shop and unlock it .

I think you shold do a bit of searching on this forum about the gnex before posting, also the gnex is sold unlocked worldwide.

I'm a little unclear on a few points, and would appreciate a little more info . I also have a Docomo SC-04D:
1) When you say that you changed the baseband, this means that you flashed the radio right?
2) Can we just use the standard fastboot method for flashing the radio to the direct-from-google radio image, or are there more steps we should do?
3) Are there any disadvantages to changing the baseband?
Thanks!

how to tell which carrier a gnex is locked to

Got phone from eBay and gives me a sim locked error but there is but no branding to identify who it is locked to. Any suggestions?

You can't go into the about phone section and check the software info/ baseband?

Does any of this help?

No, not at all. That's stock right there.
To be honest I didn't knew that gnex were even sold carrier locked. Did you try doing a OEM unlock and just reflashing some other ROM or stock ROM again to see if start working?

some nexus sold in europe are carrier locked and can be problematic to unlock even with the right unlock code. Flashing roms will not sim unlock your phone. the only way is to buy a code online or get one from the carrier the phone was sold from.

This is what I assumed from reading other forums, but since it has no branding I do not know which carrier it is originally locked by.

How did you buy a phone without knowing it was unlocked first
its gonna be hard. you need to contact the seller. based on the info above its just bone stock 4.0.2...

So the buyer tells me that he got it from a google employee and that it was tested before he sent it. Can I call Google or Samsung to get more info?

After pulling up fastboot I find some other strange things. First it tells me CARRIER INFO - none. SIGNING - production. And under the development options it shows me a Developer Device ID. Does this sound like a somehow locked gnex or is all that normal?

Well, there are several ways of doing this;
1. You go into the bootloader (either using the ADB or via PWR + Vol. up + Dwn buttons) There it says "Carrier Info" (Name of carrier)
2. You say, of fu** this. Then you just flash the firmware directly from the Samsung Website...
3. OR you get a SIM card, from every carrier in the world and try it that way...
To be honest, I'd go for the flash Here is the link for the firmware
I now have only one thing to say: If none of these options work (Which they will, though) I'll scoff a mop...

problem with samsung galaxy nexus

I bought a galaxy nexus online in italy (imported).
The firmware is Yakjuxw and was not updated. I had a card H3G italy and everything worked ok.
I then updated to yakju and was always ok. I had Android 4.2.1
Today I changed my carrier and not read any sim Wind Italy
you can not tell me another radio to flash it correctly?
or at least I can redo the procedure to bring him yakjuxw?
how do I fix it without having to bring in help?
I discovered dall'imei by samsung which is imported Romanian

sounds like your phone was temporary unlocked and after flashing yakju you lost the unlock.. now the phone only accepts sim of the carrier its locked to.. the only way to fix this is by either calling the carrier and getting a unlock code or buying the unlock code online..
PS- i can see you need help but next time post in the correct section :good:

the gnexus is not carrier locked...
other sim with other carrier goes well...only wind italy have problems
maybe i have flashed a not radio img compatibile?

Try this app, it says it's only for docomo network. But it worked fine for me, you have to be rooted for it to work tough.

edit: Use the unlock method where you keep your IMEI code, could void warrenty otherwise.

oh.. then i am not sure what the issue is... weird that it stop reading one specific carriers sim

I can confirm nexus phones comes factory unlocked regardless the county you purchased it from.
Make sure you don't have a bad baseband after the ROM update.
I bought mine in Canada under a Fido contract and it works fine here in Italy and anywhere else I have been with any carriers.

hi,
the problem is that the sim is not recognized by the phone...it not ask me the pin code!
Now i can check the baseband....i flash this adio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img then i think i have this xxla2
and not work with this carrier
i think i must flash the JB Baseband...XXLF1 = baseband Europe
to install it as long as I put it on the phone, go into recovery and do update zip?

But have you tried a total recovery?

If he's running stock ROM, the baseband would have updated along with the 4.2.1 update...that's how my Nexus updated when I went to stock a few weeks ago...the bootloader also updates to the latest...the SIM is probably defective or that particular carrier runs on a different band (unlikely)...it could also be that the APN settings need to be entered manually like I have to do with Straight Talk.

The radio will have nothing to do with it. Almost all GSM GNex radios are compatible with almost all GSM carriers in the world.

I eventually discovered that one of the pins of the sim reader is broken.
the adapter broke it, so now I have to replace it.

are you trying to flash WP 7.8 on that AT&T phone? if yes, the answer is you can't do that. Variant for RM-808 is not out yet. If you are trying to flash an older update, the answer might be you have an locked bootloader.
edit: obsl = operating system bootloader, so you may likely had an locked bootloader.

If you have an unlocked att lumia 900 does that mean your bootloader is also unlocked or is it independent? I have the telcel rom downloaded and ready to flash just wanted to ask as i need my tethering and mms!

If you mean unlocked, as you entered in a 7 or 8 digit (I forget which) number, then no. Your bootloader is still locked, and that'll do nothing. What I'm saying is, you're trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

Fails to connect to network

unlocked GSM gnex. I believe it was previously used on At&t in the US. Currently has a T-mobile SIM. For whatever reason, can not connect to the network at all.
I flashed it to stock 4.3 yakju images, and updated the radios to I9250UGLL1.
SIM card definitely works.
Any other ideas?

Do you have a valid IMEI?

15 numbers long, seems so.

hey
I found flashing the ROM your on again usually works.

Reboot to bootloader and check which variant do you have. Maguro?
To be 100% sure, please post all info from bootloader screen.
