Hey Guys..
I recently purchased an SHV-E250K phone from Korean.
Everytime i boot it up, it shows that Olleh Logo, instead of the samsung logo
Looking around i found out that it is "still locked by a contract for one of the korean mobile providers"
I dont know if thats try or not, but some apps that i have on my phone, still display korean language, even though i was able to change the default language and keyboard to English US
I currently live in the Netherlands, so when i try and access my voicemail from the Dialpad, the icon of the tape or wheel (or whatever u call it) next to the number 1, is not there. So when i keep pressing the number 1 button, it asks me to create a speed dial shortcut thing. I know it should ask me to enter my VM number, but it doesnt in my case
In relation to that, when i receive a call, and i reject the call, it automatically hangs up on the caller, not forward the caller to my VM
i have been struggeling with this for almost a month now (since i got the phone), i even emailed samsung support in Korea, they cant help.
I was able to root the phone successfully, no issues there, and i was able to install triangle away, and all that good stuff, but for the life of me, i cant find anywhere to fix the issue that i have.
i am really desperate to get this fixed, so any help on how to get rid of this whole crappy OLLEH thing on my phone, i would greatly apprecaite it.
thanks
Thanks
I've been working with an Olleh E250K in the US for a while. I had to unlock it and this worked for me.

Rooting it is hard though...

Thanks for the info. But what I found out is that the phone was already unlocked, just it had that olleh stupid rom that displayed their logo at boot up. I managed to get rid of it by installing another rom. But the issue still is that I cant reject calls and get them to vm. Instead it hangs up on the caller. Still reaserching a solution for that.
Does urs do the same?

Have you solved this yet?
When you root your device you can change it to anything you want. it's call Bootloader Animation.
There are some apps on the Play Store that will do this, and some guides online for how to make your own.
I changed mine to the game Portal boot animation instead of the olleh logo.
I, on the other hand, am in the situation you thought you were in. I have a Note 2 SHV-E250K that is SIM locked, and I need it unlocked before I leave for the USA (in 2 months from now).
any ideas on how to do this?

I tried your link, but it seems to be non-existent now. I also searched on the unlocksamsungonline site, as well as others, and I cannot seem to find the Note ii Korean olleh model on any of them. And sorry to contradict you, but I found rooting it to be very easy with CF Auto Root.
Might you or anyone else have some suggestions or advice for how I can Unlock the SIM and whatever else I need to do to prepare my Note2 for use in the USA?
Thank you in advance!

hey man..
no I have not solved it yet.. still with the VM issue, everything else is working/fixed
when I bought by phone from Korea, it was already unlocked, so unlocking this baby would be out of my knowledge.. sorry man
I heard though.. the K model, like urs and mine, are the most difficult to unlock in comparison to the S and the L
on a side note.. do they sell over there the digitizer and screen for the K model?
thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by digitizer, nor which location? from fixing a friend's iPhone, i remember that term being used for screens, which was her (my friend's) issue. I did a google search, and the wacom S-Pen came up it digitizer as well. If you are talking about Korea as the location, and the digitizer is, or it for S-Pen? then yes. a replacement for a cracked screen? I'm 99% sure they do. Screen protector? of course. if it was made for the samusng phone, it can easily be found in Korea at both the samsung service centers and the private fixing shops.
As for your boot animation logo;
Is your phone rooted?
- if yes, then download a Boot Animation app from google Play store, and choose one you like. most of the apps will work automatically. the samsung file system is slightly different than other android phones, so consistency is not guaranteed.
- if still yes, a second alternative is to make and inject a boot animation yourself. this guide should help get you started http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971828
-if no, then get it rooted so you can do these things. CF Auto Root worked best for me. find your device model here http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ download the .tar and flash with Odin.
assuming you are in the USA, do you think an AT&T store or Sprint or (etc...) can unlock it for me when I arrive?

location I am referring to, you are in seoul
Digitizer, is what every phone has.. you have the screen, and right below it is the digitizer. For our phones, if you will replace the screen, you would have to replace the digitizer also (which normally are glued together)
my screen is cracked, and I need the screen with the digitizer. The Samsung repair place her say they don't have the digitzer/screen for my phone because the K model has the tv antenna, and it is only for the Korean model. The European model (I live in the Netherlands) does not have that antenna
as for the bootanimation.. that was fixed long time ago.. it was part of the ROM.. Stupid Olleh company added it as part of the ROM
So that got fixed, I now have the stock Samsung bootanimation, and the ROM is all English, nothing is Korean. Except that my phone is Korean
The issue I am having still is the voicemail forward when I reject the call.
I tried everything.. but that's cool.. I am getting close of finding a resolution to fix this issue.. That's why I waited that long and search all over this forum until I found a lot of answers to my questions, including for the issue that I am having
in regards to the digitizer/screen
they told me here that the only way is to get that kit from korea.. is there a way for you (since you are in Seoul) to find out for me please which place has those and if they would ship internationally ?
Thanks

Ah ok, I fully understand now.
Sorry I'm unsure of how to get the voicemail to work... I'm usually good at those kinds of things, but I haven't needed voicemail here, so i have yet to experience that...
Yes there are many locations that sell the screen and digitizer, shipping internationally is the hard part...
I think one of your best options would be to checkout a website called GMarket (korean version of amazon, has an english translation) im pretty sure they ship internationally, some of it is still in korean... you might need the help of a korean.
Another one is auction.co.kr but this one is all on korean last time i saw it.
Next time i head to an electronics market here, i'll ask for you and post back here if they can ship it to you.
thank you.. I will try those site, and I appreciate it if you can please, about checking an electronic store, or even a Samsung repair center.. just to make sure to get an original part for the phone, if you know what I mean
thanks

Hi, I hope this helps... I think you can flash at&t roms to shv e250s/l/k provided that you also flash JS kernel.
I can't post the link, but you can go ahead and google it.

not just the sj kernel, but you CANT flash the modem, otherwise you will brick the phone.. so you would need to choose NO for modem

I have been searching for a way to get my SPC code and have had no luck, I remember back in the vibrant days, it was as easy as an app, I have found tools that will pull it from cdma phones, but our s4 don't count. if anyone can point me in a direction to either pull the SPC or MSL for our s4 it would be appreciated, I am a beginner dev and trying to keep up, Thanks
Hmmmm Msl codes are only for CDMA phones this would include only the Sprint Variant .... Not the T-mobile or Att Verison.
How ? Pay for it there are plenty of sites that get it for you for $2 dollars or less...
But if your talking about Network unlocking the phone ... go to T-mobile or any phone shop with a skilled tech he will unlock it ....
specifically I need the spc code but they are seeming used interchangeably where all searches take you, that's why I included it with my post... its for tinkering with more advanced settings myself,
Its like 2-5 dollars to get it calculated ..

Its simple, go to the play store and download get my msl. Then go to the dialer of the phone, type ##data# and click edit, where it asks for the spc, put six 0's. Only do this once or your phone will restart, It will tell you the code is incorrect. Now go back to "Get My MSL" and click view MSL, profit!
Ok, so you have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3, [SPH-L710] and you want to Flash it to Page Plus?
[I'm assuming this will work for ANY carrier, but we all know what assuming does...]
Take it to dealer and have the MEID activated.
Flash the PRL of carrier you want to switch to, restart phone.
You'll also need to change the SPC on the Phone to 000000
Here's the trick, you need another phone with the dial pad open and ready.
hold the other phones speaker to the mic of the S3
Dial *228 on the S3 you want activated.
When it asks you to press 1, press one on the other phone,
The S3 will hear the dial, and proceed to program it for you.
[Back in the day if you recorded the tones that were made from a payphone after paying, you could play it back,, it would hear the dial, and think you paid, when you didn't]
Now Flash a correct PRL [I have provided a copy I used for Page Plus]
No Roaming Signal
CDMA - EvDo Rev.A
Blam, it works.

Knowledge should be free and shared, in my opinion!
Am I correct in assuming that the 2nd phone needs to be a 3G only phone that is currently activated on Page Plus?
This method works sometimes .... But you have to remember not everything gets programmed OTA ...

I use to be on Page Plus. I sent my old Droid 4 to Beigephone in Texas and they did all the programming for me for like $60. Then shipped the phone back to me. It was perfect and flawless. Nice to know how to do it on our own though. Thanks for the great overview.
