Bought a "new" N7100 - having doubts it's really new...
I've tried both ##786# and *#*#786#*#*, both didn't work. How do I get into the RTN menu?
Is there another way to find out when the device was turned on the first time?
Thanks
My phone is completely stock and updated to the latest stock rom. I received an unlock code from Att, however it does not work. Can anyone assist me with unlocking my device?

It was probably mine. I had the same issue and I got my code from cellunlocker.net.
I was on SlimRom and it was not working. I finally went back to the official rom for one final try and it worked.
This is what I did. I'm not sure if just trying the unlock code would've worked but I did follow these steps (it's a bit weird since you don't actually change anything, maybe it forces the phone to refresh something.)
Just make sure you are on official ROM or it won't work (I tried only the code with the SlimROM and it did not work).
After unlocking I went back to SlimRom and then CM and it was always unlocked.
1. Make sure that the phone PROMPTS for the code with a NON accepted sim card and that your IMEI is correct by dialing *#06#
a. Go to the Dial pad and dial *#197328640#
b. Please click on number [1] UMTS > [1] Debugging screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] NETWORK LOCK
c. You will see 3 options
d. Please click on number [1] Perso Sha256 INFO, the screen will change slightly
e. Please hit the MENU button then when the menu pops up please carefully hit BACK to return to the previous screen
f. Next Please click on number [2] Perso Sha256 ON, the screen will change again to a one line message
g. Restart the phone on the screen by holding the power button and click RESTART
h. When the phone prompts for the unlock code simply enter the unlock code provided to you
i. Your phone is now permanently unlocked!

I had tried two times to unlock my phone with a code I had bought online, but it wouldn't work. After doing this it worked perfectly! I also turned off GPS and Wi-Fi (for some reason they were on). I don't know if turning them off helped any, but it never hurts to try to turn them off if they are on before putting in the code. Hope this works for you!
Trying to unlock my phone, currently stock running 4.4.4 Ifound this website that has steps towards unlocking the phone. There is also a few youtube videos. However, when I try it, I get stuck on options 7. After Ii nput 1, it stays in the Servicemode screen. I can not see the screen where I can select {1}UMTS. Any ideas why? Everyone who unlocked it was running 4.4.2, does that have something to do with it?

If this is a T-Mobile phone (SGH-M919) , off-contract, contact T-Mobile. As of yesterday, they have to unlock it. However, if it is not off contract, that is not fully paid for, we aren't supposed to help you.

Will that carry over to 4.4.4 if I go back to 4.4.2 then upgrade back to 4.4.4?
Hello,
I'm in a dire situation.
my Samsung note 2 (N7100) has a faulty display (LCD started blacking out and now is completely black).
I am trying to access it via [email protected] but unsuccessfully - this could be due to the fact I have a PIN to access my phone and/or USB debug not being activated.
I have tried to enter the PIN but not sure whether that was successful or not (I tried to get an idea of where the numbers are by looking at another samsung..).
I am following this thread to find out how to get [email protected] to work (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395&nocache=1 ) but I'm not sure how to proceed.
- where do the instructions need to be put? is that ADB shell?
- how to bypass the PIN? is there any way or do I have to keep trying to guess?
- are there any other ways to recover the contents of my phone?
thank you very much for your help!
thanks for your reply.
I am not sure how to use ADB.. any quick and dirty guide on how to do that?
About the screen: the samsung note 2 LCD screen is more expensive than buying a used one! all I care at this stage are my photos and data.. I will get a new one as it's the cheapest way..
Thanks
Hello.
I tried to unlock my samsung galaxy s4 mini. It runs with Android 4.4.2 and i can'T unlock the sim.
I used this Tutorial(forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683 )...
*#0011# etc... but it doesn't work.
When i go to "menu", --> "baack" and then
"menu" --> "valid key" --> "1" --> ok....
NOTHING happens..
I already rooted it, to use RegionLock away, but the simlock works....
Thank you for your help
