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.

This is NOT true. There are many GNex devices that come carrier locked.

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.
hardware problem, you can close.
thanks to all
I was given the unlock code and it still says request to unlock network unsuccessful, it's eligible to be unlocked...
All help would be greatly appreciated.
Should I try flashing over back to this stock rom and then see: http://server10.stockroms.net/download/GalaxyNote2/SGH-I317/I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_ATT.zip
I hate being stuck in a rut like this, already had my account transfered to a T-Mobile microsim. This is driving me nuts...
The person I bought this phone from said they updated but then when I checked it was still at 4.1.2 and said something about update interrupted...
Or which of these should I use: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=71
Flashing a Rom won't unlocknyour phone..... Also what do you mean your still on 4.1.2?? That is the latest Rom for the phone. ... Where are you obtaining your unlock code from? The only time att provides it themselves is over the phone. You sure your not getting the wrong code?

Yes I got the code from AT&T over the phone, called them twice and got the same code 1-800-331-0500 they gave me 41907314... According to this: http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unlock-sim-for-free-on-gsm-galaxy-note-2/ if ya take the newest update, ya can't sim unlock the phone cause it takes out the “NW Lock NV Data Initiallize” (Step #9) according to YouTube user comments...
THIS IS WHY I'm wondering what Stock firmware I need to downgrade back to in order to get that option again and be able to sim unlock my phone.
So I'm wondering if it's I317UCALJ2 or I317UCALK7 that re-enables that option for me. Right now I'm on I317UCAMA4...

Sorry bout the 2 posts, I thought it'd auto-append them to my main post...
Okay now I keep getting errors on installing about a signature and then two file locations sdCard0 and I think extsdCard...
How can I fix this do I copy the image to sdCard (InnerSD)? Or do I need CWM to install for Scott's Stock ROMs?
Yup that worked, I had to use Odin and this image http://server10.stockroms.net/download/GalaxyNote2/SGH-I317/I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_ATT.zip and followed these instructions on installing it: http://androidromupdate.com/2012/11...y-note-2-sgh-i317-original-factory-stock-rom/ then unlocked it with the directions galaxynote2root.com had listed...

No I mean while doing this process? Odin thing.. does it matter which SIM I have to keep in note
This http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unlock-sim-for-free-on-gsm-galaxy-note-2/ is the tute I believe, gotta remember it's been 2 months since I did this, so I'm not quite 100% certain. LoL
I'll be having to do it all over again too, by the end of this week possibly, since some jerk decided to steal my note 2 I had to go to ebay and win a new one.
I don't think it'd matter during the Odin flash with a AT&T sim card or T-Mobile one in it, I can't remember if I did it with or without a sim card, but to be on the safe side I'd do it without a T-Mobile sim card in it, just for that first successful boot... Then do the 4.1.1 unlock code method, take the back and battery off then pop in the T-Mobile sim card(Or whatever other non-AT&T carrier sim card) and see if it done it correctly...

I bought an AT&T live demo note 2 that was used in an AT&T store. I used this method from youtube, popped in my niece's T-Mobile microsd and dialed 611. T-Mobile's customer service rang and answered showing it worked. You need 4.1.1 to use this method though. I'm going get me a microsim today since my vibrant doesn't use the micro.

The above is not true - if your phone has upgraded firmware, you will NOT see the item "NW LOCK NV RAM...." in your "NETWORK LOCK" "PHONE CONTROL" menu.
So, the ONLY two solutions are:
1) keep bugging ATT to create a case for you and investigate
2) downgrade to 4.1.1 modem (NEED TO READ/UNDERSTAND HOW TO FLASH etc.)
then apply the Samsung service menu "fix" as shown in the above video...*
*Then, you could upgrade to newer ROM... if you wish....:cyclops:
I had a tmobile note2 that i downgraded to 4.1.1 to unlock the sim card. Worked perfectly. Now the question is can I now upgrade, unlock, and root to 4.1.2 without losing my unlock sim option? Thanks

Once you're unlocked, you're unlocked for good. Doesn't matter how many ROM's, modems or kernels you flash.

I appreciate the time. Wasn't too sure been off-grid, (Iphone5) for way too long. Thanks again.
After several pages of reading i need to ask this:
I have a n910v that is a CDMA phone and i need to use it in a GSM network. For this i found that there is a way to reach that trough a "script". In order to run that i need to set the "signature verificatio" off. (I'm ok with that, i trust the script developer), but for doing that i need a custom recovery (right?) and to have a custom recovery instaled i need to rooot the phone (as far as i understand), so: since there is no root for this sm-n910v there is also no custom recovery?
Thanks!

For a custom recovery you need a unlocked bootloader witch the retail Note 4 dose not have. Root can be achieved without a bootloader unlock but a unlock allows the custom recovery without having root thus making it much easier to root.

Hmmm, so you are saying me that i need a bootloader unclock?
Not sure why you need to do anything of the sort? I am using 2 Verizon note 4's here in Ireland on GSM my wife and I. I did find when I received them they would not work with a GSM sim or connect to a GSM Network here in Ireland. So I went on ebay and bought a Verizon sim card, dummy/dead/unactivated what ever for 5 dollars poped it in to both phones, they said activating phone then activation failed. But guess what GSM sim card worked after that....its a strange one.
By the way it needs to be a 4G Verizon sim card. I tried another Verizon Sim and it didn't work.
Hope this helps

Well, i'm in Argentina, to have a Verizon SIM card here is going to take about 4/5 weeks, but is good to know, thanks.
Btw, ur Note 4 was also a CDMA phone?
Yes it is a cdma. Took about 2 weeks for me to get Sim. Make sure it's a 4G one you buy. It's well worth the wait. Best of luck.

For a custom recovery yes,for a carrier unlock no. These are two entirely different unlocks. As gersrt said you need a different sim card. The phone should already be carrier unlocked.

Contact your carrier or go in and tell them that it is not your number and that you are stuck on 2g they should be able to tell you how to fix it or if you go in they can fix it
I did contact my carrier, they cannot figure out what to do. Replaced the sim about 4 times, still no luck. I go into testing (secret code) and I am on 1x network @loeffler23

my phone's unlocked by default and there has to be a way to fix efs, not accessible by recovery? (what is efs)
It holds the imei and other radio proprietary info not sure what partition that data is actually in on this device. I think the efs data is no longer in /efs
Twrp used to have a option for efs backup with the data system backup and restore options
