Location of nv_data.bin on Tmo SGS3?

Hi all,
Does anyone have any idea where the nv_data.bin file (or equivalent) resides on the Tmo SGS3? On most other Samsung devices, including the International SGS3, it is in the /efs partition. However, this file is curiously absent on the Tmo variant.
Thanks!

as far as im aware, the location is still unknown

Check in peoplearmy's and geek's threads about imei. Your answer may be known by one of them, I just dont remember for sure or id tell you here.

Yup those are the ones. If you dont find your answer you can probably PM peoplearmy. Ive heard about him helping a lot of people so he may be your best bet if all searching and posting fails.

[Q] I dont have non t-mobile sim, how do I input unlock code?

Yea so after pulling teeth with tmobile to get unlock code, I realized that I need a non tmobile sim card to install, then turn phone on and it is supposed to ask for unlock code. Well the problem is that I dont have a non tmobile sim or know anyone with one. Is there a way to get the "input unlock code screen"to pop up? How if so? Thanks.

Nop
There is a process in general section To unlock ur phon without code. And you dont need another sim tooo.

I harassed my friend with an Iphone. worked like a charm. XD

They didn't type to "spend the buck" they were just trying to help, that really is how you unlock the phone, you don't need another sim or code

Ok, just to reiterate, i have an unlock code already. I just need it to ask for it. I dont need the free unlock precedure. Ok have you clicked your link? There is no member on that page by the name of "The F Word", and neither has anyone posted a picture on that page that isn't named "The F Word". So what are you talking about?

Look man I'll just post a screenshot, I never meant he had made a thread about it, he was the one that replied in this exact thread that you opened, he was the second reply, and he also responded to you later.. doesn't even matter anymore

Actually, the second reply to the thread you had posted was by member "CCCHEEL" and he replied with "just tried and got the following message: unable to process your rewquest" and in fact hadnt posted the pictures that you mention. So you can see where the confusion is. That being said, these pictures you posted, barely open.

Nevermind, I realize you are talking about my thread now. Ok so I followed the paper, *#197328640#, and did what it says, but as stated before, I do not have a non tmobile sim card, so how do I know if whatever those directions say, worked?

If you really want to make sure, get an AT&T micro SIM from Amazon.

Is there any type of confirmation at all with the procedure?
I will try a foreign sim if I can, would a verizon micro sim do the trick or no because its cdma?

FM Radio on AT&T Note 4

Is there any way to enable FM chip on AT&T Note 4?

As far as I know, it doesn't have one

It does have one just not activated.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using xda premium

I believe that the kernel is theb I nly way to enable it from the unlocked bootloader that we don't have. So for now, no dice.

Has this ever changed? Sorry to dig up old thread but I have searched to no avail... i have an AT&T NOTE 4 and wonder if this changed with the unlocked bootloader and mod kernel.
Thanks!

If this is in fact verified, then this would mean you'd get the bounty and will extend the useability of our 910A for about a couple more years!
