AT&T rooted insecure kernel HERE
INTRODUCTION:
I originally was building a rom that enabled serial port in an attempt to repair IMEI but decided to make a universal tool to enable the exploit instead.
You can use this new menu to access a lot of new internal settings and you can enable DIag mode (serial port) for reading and writing settings via PST.
Should work on all sgs3 phones.
DOWNLOAD:
GALAXY S III EXPLOIT TOOL
INSTRUCTIONS:
-Simply run the tool with you phone connected and follow the instructions, its a one click tool. Enjoy.
If you appreciate this and would like to make a donation you can do so here:

UPDATE:
Simple no-root solution finished for backup/restore of IMEI finished!
Thread: HERE
I haven't needed this yet, knock on wood, but you're efforts are greatly appreciated

This video will show you the exploit being ran and a serial port being established.
Click here to watch video!
This is a big step as this enables reading the IMEI (among many other settings) via PST. Normally we can simply 'write' back whatever IMEI we want at this point; but that is not the case with this phone. When we find how to write back the IMEI, the IMEI issue will be resolved.
So,
Q: Is this a full IMEI solution?
A: No, this is me posting my work in progress along with a one click tool so that the community can help finish it up.
keep it up man, thank you so much for your efforts, :highfive:
hopefully with your work, i can start flashing without feeling worried instead of staying on stock forcefully !
Sorry for the post right under bro, i didn't know you were making a reserve, maybe the mod can flip them.

This is very interesting with the imei thing. I used to have Nextel Motorola's and there was radio service software that could be found that would be able to change the imei no. It would be great if this could do the same for people who lost their imei. Hopefully someone who lost their imei could try this and see.

I am using Ktoonse's insecure kernel on stock rom, understood Geek's instructions to mean any insecure rooted kernel, but I guess only stock rooted ones? Hmmm, could be the problem. I wonder if it would be safe to flash ATT insecure kernel to my rogers phone?

Tool sort of works. Just scared to change anything. From Test->Advanced the app force-closes Phone.apk and then hangs. Saw NV and EFS under different menus. So there is hope that IMEI and carrier unlock can be achieved.

Not ALL options are specifically for our device, these are general Samsung engineering options. That's why you will see some options relating to CDMA and our devices are obviously not CDMA capable.
i have the stock bell insecure kernel flashed and this tool will not open on my phone, oh well i guess i don't need it until we can restore imei anyways
@Geek: Are you still working on getting this tool to write imei numbers? Is it possible? Looks like other progress on the imei issue is negligible. Also one guy who had Samsung fix his phone said they had to replace the whole board.
Finally, I propose if you are successful at getting this to fix the imei problem, we all each pitch in 20 bucks? Money well spent imo. There are enough here craving a solution that donation amounts could become meaningful quickly.

We now have working exploit for out Canadian friends .
We are publicly releasing Bells, Rogers and Telus. This is the same 0.5v that removes LG Security.
Further details can be read in thecubed's post here.
Due to the nature of the varients make sure you download the correct file!
Bell:
http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/optimusg/bell/private/freegee/FreeGee-0.5_Bell.zip
Rogers:
http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/optimusg/rogers/private/freegee/FreeGee-0.5_Rogers.zip
Telus:
http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/optimusg/telus/private/freegee/FreeGee-0.5_Telus.zip
Currently, the download is Windows-only. I will make a OSX/Linux/Windows version soon
Also Bell, Telus and Rogers are now supported by the 1 click freegee app! This is $1, and the pc method will always remain free. This is just for those lazy and want to donate .
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee
Worked perfectly! Thanks again to Team Codefire for high levels of awesomeness.
Now bring on the roms! lol
Thank you! :highfive:
EDIT: I'm wondering if someone made this flashable, we (bell, rogers) would be able to flash the BASE ROM from the att forum and then flash this since at this time we don't have a rom that's flashable yet..

If it disables LG Security does that mean we can safely uninstall google apps like movies and books?
Im just trying to make sure I have all my ducks in a row here, so I appologize if this is a redundant question. Which recovery are we supposed to use?? In the Sprint development forum there is a tethered version of CMW. Do we use that?? Or, is there something included in the FreeGee exploit? Or even still, do we just use the stock recovery?

Freegee includes CWM. Once it's done you can boot into the bootloader and get to cwm, or use adb and reboot into recovery that way (easier, because we can't see what we're selecting in the bootloader at the moment, vol down twice then power gets you there )
Just so I am clear you arent able to see the fastboot options because of LG's doing right? Not because of the exploit made here? Or was it because of the exploit and that was just an unfortunate side effect of doing it this way that would be fixable in a future update?

Nothing lg related. I believe it is just a trivial side effect and they rather release a version as quick as.possible and put focus on.more important stuff than target irrelevant images

Awesome! Can't wait for the custom roms coming, especially if it fixes the battery issue!
I rooted and unlocked without any issues. However, when I enter CMW and attempt to make a nandroid backup of the original Rom it says "Can't mount unlock path". I've never run into this before. Do I need to mount something in the Mounts & Storage?

Hi
I have search the forum for this and google. I am a bit stumped
I have attached 2 images, one a screenshot of my Note 2 device info and the other of the Samsung Galaxy note 2 toolkit 2.3.1 (donation activated).
Basically Im confused on what my phone is. According to the device info its a GT-N7100 Build N7100XXALIJ but the baseband is N7100XXALIH
When I look on the toolkit to chose what my phone model and build are it says that the N7100XXALIJ build is model GT-N7100.
I am assuming that as I am on o2 UK that I am a GSM model and not a LTE but what option should I select.
Im not currently interested in stock roms, I do plan later to but I am worried about my flash counter, I am primarily looking just for root.
I thank you for reading this.
all of the version, baseband, etc... shows begin with "7100"
why would u ever doubt yr phone is 7105?
because in the device info it says model n7100
also I didnt think o2 woukd be lte ?

I don't understand where the confusion is coming from. All signs point to you having an n7100. No where in your screenshots is there any indication that it could be an n7105.
That is why people are getting annoyed.
So to answer your question in case you are still unsure, and you have an n7100. Don't flash anything for the n7105

Okay. I see what the OP was trying to get at. His N7100 had the LIJ build installed and was trying to use his phone with the Note II toolkit. And when the toolkit asked him what phone and build he was using, the option for an N7100 with LIJ wasn't there. However, the option for an N7105 with LIJ was there.... hense, confusion.
So, for future reference OP, if another device has a build of Android with the same number as yours, that doesn't mean it's the same build as yours or that you actually have that device instead of what you originally thought you had. You do in fact have an N7100 with LIJ. Welcome to the Android community and sorry for the "FAIL". Enjoy your Note II!

I can't say for sure, but it should work just fine.
Though I must admit, Sprint is the worst choice you could make for your first port attempt. You could have problems with both libs and kernels.
And I still haven't figured out how to get MMS working on my Sprint port.

It will take much more than what is listed in the OP. I am not sure I have ever seen a ROM ported from Europe to the US (or the other way around).
As you mentioned, the processor and radios are different, but so are the system partitions. Anything is possible, but I think that would be a huge amount of work.
If you try this please be very careful. Many, many users have bricked their devices flashing a ROM from across the pond.

Hey all, I was hoping to get some assistance on an issue that myself and stratatak7 have been having. We're trying to port the Intergalactic ROM over to VZW. Following this guide, I was able to get it to boot and everything is functional including calling and texts, but we cannot get any mobile data. We've gone as far as replacing the kernel with a vzw kernel and replacing the modules in Intergalactic with modules from a vzw rom but mobile data refuses to work. I would be grateful for any suggestions because it seems that we are at a loss. Thanks

OK, I apologize for having to ask this, but are you sure you followed all the steps correctly? I have to ask because my ROMs are the same version Intergalactic. Also, are you sure you grabbed the files from a VZW BLK3 ROM? Libs are the most important for data.
I have attached the files I use for my VZW port. I would change nothing except the ROM name in the build.prop for now and see how that goes. The eri.xml is compiled, so you can just add the file to framework-res with 7Zip. I started adding the csc files recently, but I don't think they really make a difference.

For your own personal use you should be able to get by with just changing your build.prop. Maybe the apn if you run in to any data problems. You should not need to flash a kernel or radio.

Firstly, Nitro HD is low end already. Take note of it. It is single cored(If im not wrong), and also, its already 2 years old.
And buying it is up to you. If you want it as a spare phone, which it is preferably one.

First off yes its 1 1/2 years old but has never been low end. It is one if not the most powerful phone made in the Nov '11 - April '12 time frame. Secondly the Snapdragon DUAL CORE WITH ADRENO DUAL CORE graphics was also one of the most powerful made that was only surpassed by the newer quad core processors this phone is no slouch. The software platform is very mature and has a great developing community. If you want the latest and greatest look elsewhere but be depending on what money you spend you will have quite a beast on your hands.

If you are talking about unlocking the sim, that can only be done with a stock ROM. You can root stock ICS with ease but if you want root AND a custom recovery then you need to use the unbricking guide due to the ICS boot loader being locked.

This guide works best on a win xp computer. However if you have win 7 there is help within the pages of that guide that can provide that help. Good luck.

Root and install a custom recovery so you can install a custom ROM. Like I said before sim unlocking can only be done on a stock ROM. To unlock go to settings, security then sim lock.
Edit sorry man thinking of something else. To unlock the sim so you can use it on a different network go to your phone dialer and out in the following code:
2945#*930#
Then select network
And input your unlock code (you only get 10 attempts before your phone is locked for good)

I think unless you were to go through the unbricking guide again. But I have never done it so I am not 100%. But I do know it has to be done from a stock ROM as the custom ROMs like cyanogen and miui do not have that capability. But as long as you are just installing ROMs through cwm you shouldn't have to unlock again.

Firstly, Nitro HD is low end already. Take note of it. It is single cored(If im not wrong), and also, its already 2 years old.
And buying it is up to you. If you want it as a spare phone, which it is preferably one.

compared to what? it has better specs than dozens of phones that came out after it with a cheaper price tag
almost every major dev team supports this phone, there is a reason for that those people are the experts that should tell you enough.
Can anyone tell me how to create a flashable ROM from the MVLDMF1 firmware released for Odin in the link below?
I am unable to download it because I am not a "Premium Member", I'd really like to use this as my ROM's base, if anyone can help or throw me a suggestion, I'd be very grateful!!!

Am looking forward to what you can do with it @Adizzzle!

You only need to sign up to download links, no need to pay or anything.
Anyway, here is the link provided :
https://hotfile.com/dl/230576652/80088bb/I747MVLDMF1_I747MOYBDMF1_TLS.zip.html
BTW, do you know how to apply this update if I'm rooted and don't want to loose it? I'd also love not to reinstall everything, is it possible?
Does thia work for AT&T S3

I figured that out just a few minutes ago, and am currently downloading!
Now I just gotta figure out how to make a flashable .zip from an Odin firmware... :silly:

Download the appropriate Odin firmware from the link in the first post. (you gotta have a SamMobile account)
Flash using Odin, like you did to originally root your S3. (Assuming that was your root method)
Though i'm almost certain your root privileges will be gone.
OR
Wait until someone creates a flashable .zip, and then flash in Recovery.
:highfive:

I have no idea how this works, but correct me if I'm wrong. I'm rooted with a custom recovery. Can In download this and flash it through Odin? Will it work even though i'd lose the custom recovery and root?
No, the ROM version and the modem version don't have to be the same or in sync. But don't cross flash modem firmware, i.e. flash i747M to i747 or vice versa, you can brick your phone.

I ripped it out of deTmobilized 1.3 (6-18-13) (UVDMD5 4.1.2 Premium Suite) AT&T Port (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317259)
They SHOULD be the same.

I sure can, Sadly though the build isn't working correctly as I wasn't able to extract the META-INF folder
properly, and I was a [email protected] and used the META-INF from the MVLDLK4 build.

Eventually
Installed 4.1.2 (stock) sd card not recognized (fixed)
So I tired OTA, well that didn't work, server probably busy so I went and fired up Kies and got the update that way.... while I was looking for what changed I noticed the SD card wasn't mounted... nor would it mount. So I popped it into the computer, sure enough everything was still there.. back to s3... nothing.... back to the computer again... check the format.. yep fat32.... back to s3 nothing....popped an old card in and it recognized it.... take that one out, put in the one it couldn't read before... and there it is.... weird right? Now it works fine...

In stock form, yes and no. The Rom would probably run, but the Canadian modem will most likely destroy your imei.
I got it running good aside from not having the correct basband and no data.. hope someone can suggest something so I can get this amazing rom running properly.
