Hi everyone, I bought this phone on ebay locked with AT&T and the seller send me the unlock code to use it with another SIM card.
The thing is that he send me a wrong code and my 10 attempts ran out.
I started to search in google and here in the forums of xda and asking questions (no one reply sadly). After six hours or more I managed to find a solution for this problem and I found that changing the baseband of the phone will work.
I tried several basebands and did not work.
Then I fond this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784709 (credits for mattman86)
I followed the tutorial until "Flashing AT&T Stock ROM (2.3.5 or 4.0.4)" there I replace the ".img's" of this pre-rooted ICS ROM http://mattman86.smashtext.com/ROMs/Stock%20AT&T%20ICS/IMG_Files/V20c_IMG.zip exept the baseband and voila! unlocked pre-rooted ICS phone with korean baseband! didnt ask for code or anything.
If someone can make a flashable ROM but with the korean baseband will help the people with the same problem I had.
And you don't have to buy an unlock code!
Hopefully this poorly made guide helped someone and please forgive me for my bad English. Greetings!! :

I entered the nck code first the phone quickley rebooted and i threw a new rogers sim into the phone but i got no bars and the phone told me there was not network then switched to no sim.
Then i put a bell sim card into the phone with the same response nothing.. so i went and put the rest of the codes into the phone and they all gave me network unlock request unsuccessful and same with the nck one now as well.. and i do not know if it said that it work the first time as it was just a quick flash
Now i have been geting help from people down in the optmius 2x section of the fourms they told me i should revert to stock 2.2 and i did with the SAME RESULTS! i also tryed an ics rom and i could not even get to the sim screen.
Can any one help me on this problem? i am looking to use my phone and i am not able to at this time

Hi community, as I stated on the title, im having a little problem here with the current 4.3 upgrade on my Note II.
Thing is I upgraded via Odin to 4.3 version; still, my provider service doesnt have the 4,3 upgrade, its only been released to free from fabric phones in my country.(downloaded from sammobile). Shouldnt have been an issue, but after i made the upgrade, my network got blocked. I ve read a lot of threads concerning this issue but still couldnt find a solution.
A link to possible answers would be super appreciated, or something.
Thnx in advance ! Hope i find a way to solve, have EFS saved in pc.
btw IMEI isnt wrong, its not a generic one.
It says : Service State : out of service
My phone number: Unknown
Rest of data seems fine...
Another thing is I sim unlocked the phone when it was at 4.1 to be able to use Movistar on it (via Galaxy S unlock worked) After upgrade network got locked again and asks for simlock code, tried with unlocker again and this time had no luck.. I dont know if the problem here its only that the sim unlock got locked again after the upgrade or what..EDIT: I cant use any of my chips, all of them throw "not registered..etcetc" msg... However this didnt happen when it was at 4.1
EDIT ONCE MORE: I ve been reading around, and seems there is no current way to unlock sim for all companies for note 2 at 4.3 ? Is this correct ? This is frustrating ._.
sry about the double post, anyone can confirm this last thing to me ? Is it correct there is no current way to unlock sim for all companies at 4.3 stage?

I have the same problem, and i found 2 ways to do it :
-either buy an unlock code ( about 25$)
-or downgrade ( if it's possible to 4.1.1, and use the classical way ( with samsung Code)
i hope that someone will suggest another way to do it
@julesarg, have you tried the patched kernel and modem from this thread?

Hi guys, sorry to have my first post as a cry for help but I'm really struggling and a friend has pointed me in the direction of the forum to try and solve it. I have an LG G3 855 which is running Cyanogen custom ROM (rooted and sorted by my ex Brother-In-Law, hence I have lost my 'technical support' now). Problem is, I've just left Vodafone as I'm fed up of them ripping me off. Phone is mine and has been from new on contract, now 3 years old, and is locked to Vodafone I assume as I can't get my new GiffGaff sim to work in it. I've obtained an unlock code from a webiste for the princely sum of £9 but dialling 2945#*855# to get me to the menu doesn't work, so I have an unlock code but no way of actually entering it !!
I do have a vodafone sim which is still live to use if required (my works phoneline as my personal number has now ported to GiffGaff), so I can have the phone live on vodafone if required but I need to get to the right menu to enter the number. I'm fearful that the menu no longer exists as the stock ROM is no more?
Any help very greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Mike
Hi all, I've been reading tons of threads and I am still having some difficulties with this phone. I am not in the US, I got this phone from a coworker that was going to throw it away and brought it with me to south america to give it to my friends mom who has no money, its and old phone but the one she has is even crappier ,I thought I would be able to just pop the SIM and get it going but nope.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it, I have a few more days before I go back home and I would love to be able to leave this working for her.
Let me put you up to speed:
-Phone is running Android 4.3
-Phone was rooted using Odin, has SU and CWM
-Followed thread here to SIm unlock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2023709 but #4 option is not present on 4.3
-I tried downgrading to 4.1.2 custom root666 to see if I could get #4 but to no avail since you cannot from this 4.3 version
-About to follow this thread :https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48012926&postcount=8
but not sure if correct for what I want to do.
No more ideas, please help!
The phone can only be unlocked used an unlock code. Try contacting T-Mobile for a free unlock code or buy a code from eBay.
i'm with the same problem. i bought an sgh-i747 and after two months it bricked, so i replace the logical card (i don't remember how to say it in English, lol.) and boom!!! now i have a t999 and it doesn't work with movistar. (i'm from Venezuela)
but well, i've been reading posts about unlocking the phone and every one of them only works in JB 4.1.x. i don't know if i could unlock it by the downgrade process and i'm scared of getting the phone bricked again.
Hello guys. I am from Europe and just buy Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra with Snapdragon. The phone is unlocked, but have carrier brand, Verizon, I want to remove it. Can't change phone language (see that this problem is discussed here, but I did not see a solution) and in Verizon miss Samsung Cloud.
I decided to try changing stock rom with Odin. Now downloading official firmware SM 988U, because I read that must put firmware with "U", and downloading SM-988USQU1CTLB (this is my baseband version and hope that this is correct firmware), write only USA, without any brands, from sammobile, I hope that is without carrier brand. Don't know if I will manage to change language successfully, because the phone is made for USA, but hope that carrier brand will disappear and Samsung Cloud will show. Will do this for first time and don't understand a lot of things. However, my question is for Bootloader.... I try to see if my bootloader is unlocked or locked, but can't do it.... If I put new firmware and bootloader is locked what will happens? Sorry for my stupid question, but I try to learn how things happen What you think, is my idea is good or no?
Something is bricks. I downloaded the original stock firmware from sammobile. USA only, I successfully uploaded it, everything with Odin was good, but after restarting and entering my sim card pin code, the phone want pin code to get app notifications. Please someone help me.... What is this pin code? I can only received phone calls
I manage to put the phone in downloading mod, please someone tell me witch firmware must download and install? The phone is SM-988U
