Free DEVICE UNLOCK - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Here's the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34661189&postcount=1
____________________________________
NEW INFO ON THIS UNLOCK!!!
After finding and having someone test it. It was confirmed working. :thumbup:
All you have to do is downgrade you modem/radio, even if your on 4.1.2! After the downgrade it should give you option 4 if it's missing from the unlock menu!!
Hope this helps with trying to get your device unlock. It's much easier to flash a modem/radio, than it is a Rom...
So now no more having to downgrade to 4.1.1 firmware. Unless the modem downgrade didn't work for you. Which in turn should work!!!

############################################
Hi guys, you can unlock you N7105 via the Samsung hidden menu. [Also works with N7100 and some Galaxy S3 (SIII) variants - NOT ALL]
#############################################
I can confirm the unlock survives ROM flashing
#############################################
Before doing the instructions below, please double check your phone that it is actually LOCKED by inserting a sim card from a different carrier/provider...you may or may not leave that sim card on the phone while unlocking
Quote:
Unlock your N7105:
Note: your phone must be running at least Jelly Bean 4.1 otherwise some of the menu choices are not present
Just dial the following keys *#197328640#
Main Menu > [1] UMTS > [1] Debug Screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] Network Lock > Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF > (after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button then select Back, now you are in [6] Network Lock then choose [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ..... wait for a minute then reboot your phone... enjoy!!! There is no confirmation on the phone that the unlock was successfull.... just reboot your phone....
To test, just insert a sim card from a different carrier/provider. If the new sim card works then your phone is now unlocked.
I have done this to my other Note 2 N7105 originally locked to Orange.....
If your missing the option 4 from the menu, then Go backnto an earlier 4.1.1 on the t mobile version i did cuz the newest didnt show option 4
Try novembers releas that worked foe me http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1969551
========================================
Do this procedure AT YOUR OWN RISK
========================================
To those who were able to unlock their phone with the method above, can you please post in the thread and let us know which phone model (N7100 or N7105) you have, Country and Network/Carrier your phone was locked to...... and if I have saved you some cash, please click the Thanks button or the Donate button on the left just below my name to buy me a can/bottle of Heinekken, Quilmes, Budweiser, Fosters, Tiger, Stella Artois, or San Miguel ...
========================================

Worked on my USA T-Mobile running Jedi-XX, BUT I had to do one more step. After I booted and tried another (AT&T) SIM then shutdown and put my T-Mobile sim back in, it booted with the text "SAFE MODE" in the lower left corner. This made me think that leaving the SHA256 off may be the issue, so I went back into the network lock menu, turned the SHA256 back on, checked it was on with SHA256 INFO, then rebooted. Now I can swap AT&T and T-Mobile without safe mode.
OOPS - might not be an issue. I researched and found that Safe Mode is booting with all downloaded apps disabled, and to get into it you continuously tap the menu key during bootup. Reboot to get out of safe mode.
In either case turning the SHA256 back on didnt seem to hurt the unlock.

Works
This method worked, but I was using VALL4 modem, so I flashed VALK8 first, perform the unlock, reboot, confirmed that I can used different SIM, then flashed VALL4 again, confirmed that phone is still unlocked.

Ok if you tried it and all of the menu setting was not there you may have to downgrade back to 4.1.1. In order to get all the menu setting there needed to unlock the device.

Well I just unlocked my buddies TMO note 2. Just by downgrading to the first software release that the phone came out with. And all the options were there. Then flashed a custom Rom after that. He's as happy as a kid in a candy store w/a pocket of money. lol
Everything is good now.

You have to b careful on what you hit when your in that menu.. If your trying to unlock your phone! If you have a back up on your SD card you can just restore that so you can have service till u get home..

What exactly did you hit on that menu, when you were trying to unlock it #1?
And when u tried to restore it, did you wipe both caches C/D? #2
But just to let you know, you have nothing to worry about! Because you can Odin back to stock when u get home. Was just trying to get you back up and running right away!..
But I'm thinking you hit something in there that changed your signal setting out the radio! I'm going to go into the setting and see if there's a default setting you can revert back to!

I'm having the same problem now. Need help I have no data!
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium HD app
not that I will have an answer or solution, but others who might would likely want a bit more information, like:
are you on a custom ROM, or stock? which version of stock? or did you use that leak?
if custom, how did you get there? (ie: method used to flash/odin, stock recovery/twrp)
if you're just rooted stock, how do you achieve that? which method for rooting, or was it a rooted rom/oneclick/etc?)
did you do anything just previous to the problem? or "out of the blue"? (it is also vaguely possible it Is a network problem on Sprints end...)
if you're going back to BustBuy, are you unrooted now? do you know how to get back to unrooted? (they may not honor your warr if you are)
the more info you give us, the more likely we will have advice. just saying.
You might want to try resetting sprint login data by ##72786# to see if it helps.
Thank you for the quick response but I finally figured it out. I just reinstalled stock Rom and started fresh.

how exactly did you reinstall stock? i just got this problem after a reboot. i was on viperboy's stock K8 and just did a reboot and found my phone no longer has any network. i had twrp installed, the multi window mod, and the reboot option mod prior to this. i odined back to viperboy's stock J1 and had no resolution. i then went on to odin back to viperboy's stock JC, still nothing. i tried doing a restore from twrp off of J1, JC, and K8. after i reset everything and went back to stock i took the phone into sprint who had no way to fix it and could only offer to order me a refurbished replacement unit for whatever the price was. i have insurance from a third party but more then anything i need to know what exactly caused this and how to repair it. i noticed enough posts about this particular issue that i am hesitant to even think about rooting my next phone. when i do finally get a new one off insurance i of course would like to prevent this issue. however, using insurance after a month of owing my phone for this sort of issue really was not why i got the insurance.

thanks again, that solved my problem. i still wonder what in the world had my phone acting up in the first place. i believe i was one of the only people who had this just happen on a reboot without moving roms.
Thank you all for this thread. I just recovered from no mobile network as I accidentally flashed the wrong ROM. :good:
The process I had a failed flash that scared the @)*$& out of me. But i believe it flashed the modem.bin before it failed.
Then i flashed CWM again and all was good.

[Q] Load OS on galaxy note 2 I317 (AT&T)

Hi
I have been having trouble with this device since I changed the digitizer after dropping and shattering the screen, it was unlocked but after that it would only take AT&T SIM card, when I inserted my simple mobile card it pop a stop sign on the signal bar and give emergency call only when I tried to call. I have tried downgrading & unlocking again, tried custom rooms but it still didn't work. Now major problem 2 is that I was trying to install a rom using twrp I accidentally but it wit no OS loaded and now it can't be recognized by the computer. How to I get to load the OS back? Please help with the 2 issues.
Android Newbie tinklier.....
thanks in advance
No problem dude.... its an easy fix! Just flash a rom, then a kernal. Done! As for your problems with a different network. Id suggest doing what u did, except try looking at your apn settings.. you can find those in setting,, more setting, mobile networks then access point names.

Do you still have twrp recovery? Not sure about you twrp part you said you accidentally did something. You will get that no OS message after you perpormed full wipe then reboot device without flashing a rom. Download a custom rom and save to external card then flash using twrp recovery if you can still access it.

But how do I flash the rom/ kernel if I can't get the phone to be recognized by the computer? And I know how to do the rom but not the kernel, any help there too would appreciated.
P.s- I accidentally rebooted while in twrp when it was saying No OS installed.

Thanks a lot for your help. Was finally able to go to boot and use Odin to load stock 4.1.2. Then downgraded to 4.1.1 and went through the secret menu method to unlock but it still will not allow calls and still shows the stop sign @ the top right on the signal bars then it disappears. The apn settings are being recognized as t-mobile and everything as far as I can tell is ok but it can't call, says only emergency...any help here?
Thanks for your time.
Now no network now( galaxy note 2)

Thanks so much..was able to finally boot it and install stock 4.1.2 and then downgrade it to 4.1.1 and used the secret menu method to unlock it (though it was unlocked in the first place) but it still will not allow calls, says only emergency when I insert my simple mobile SIM card. Though the APN setting that appear are t-mobile..

Thanks.
Hmmm.. ur getting data.. but no calls? I realy dont know how u have ur apns set up, its probably automatic from your carrier. . Hopefully @bajaman sees this thread. Hes the apn masta!. I dont think its the modem/radio cause u get signal right? I think its ur apn.. look into that more. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: good luck man, there are allot of smart dudes in this fourm! Hopefully they chime in a bit.

Can you run AT&T mods or stock on the international N7150
I have a chance to get a N7150 new and unlocked but I need to run it on either AT&T or Tmob and use LTE. If I flash the I-317 software do I have to flash a new kernel to get LTE or just flash the carrier modem?

[Q] Phone can't authenticate...

So I got my One S-off'd, rooted, TWRP installed.
I've been running BoneStock but decided to try out some of the AOSP ROMs last night.
Now my phone is stuck roaming, and I can't call/send texts, etc. When I try to make a call it says the device cannot be authenticated. I spent over an hour on the phone with Verizon, and he has no idea whats wrong..sent me to the store to get a new SIM. I just got a new SIM, and it's still doing the same thing. I can pop the sim in my S4 and it works fine. Did I mess up the radios or something? I've never had something like this happen, and I've been a crackflasher since the Dinc days.
Without an RUU, I have no idea what to try to fix this. I've got a replacement device coming, but I clearly can't send this one back, being S-off...and then I just wasted 40 bucks getting it s-off -_-
Pls halp.
Sounds like you lost your imei. Check that in settings, about phone, phone identity

IMEI is still there. And it matches the one on the box.
I only flashed VZW ROM's. I know I didnt screw that up. It was working fine, took a nap, woke up and it was like this
i'm having the same problem. My first flash was newts google edtion rom, then i went back to bonestock and was roaming, so i flashed the google edtion again and it wouldn't activate. I've been messing with it for a few weeks now and the best i can get is a stock rom then ##778 send and upload a different prl, then i get at least data and texts, just no voice. one thing i notice is under NAM settings, it's all 0's as well as Security and M.IP Default Profile.
i have put the sim back in my inc 4g and copied the settings manually, but that doesn't work.
i would like to try the correct prl, if anyone happens to know where i can download the 15256 version.
I just got mine fixed here are my steps that worked for me:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip PN017IMG_M7_WL_JB_50_VZW_DECRYPT.zip
fastboot flash zip PN017IMG_M7_WL_JB_50_VZW_DECRYPT.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
select factory reset
(after that i actually had to hard reset by holding down the vol-down and power)
Boot the factory ROM, then turn off HTC's fast boot: Settings > Power > Fast Boot = Off, Turn on all GPS location services: Settings > Location > (all three location services) = On
reboot to boodloader and do 1 more factory reset.
So those having these issues are stemming from the GPE ROM?

I completely agree (having both phones)
the one downside with the HTC One though, is say you drop the phone and crack just the screen, the s4 is such an easy and cheap fix - they have youtube DIY videos. I do have to admit it took a bit to get used to the weight coming from the s4. I'm now back in my HTC Mode, lol

You lost your IMEI number
Hopefully you have a complete backup that can restore it.
If not, flash the stock Rom and search on this forum how to restore the IMEI.
It is not easy, so good luck.

Sounds like a problem i had before. It is your baseband version. To fix you need to flash a stock/ish rom. In dialer do ##786# it will reset everything. Once you perform hands free activation you should be back up and running. After that make sure you flash a good mc2 baseband. After that you should be fine.
Quick question. You are on sprint and only flashing roms for the sprint phone? I have this happen when working on a couple ports from other note 2 variants.

yes only l900 roms on my sprint phone..Last time it was macksrom 5.0 it happened on....I dont think it has anything to do with the flashing or which rom it is some application i have put on from the play store thats causing it..Im a noobie here so please bear with me..Last time this happened I flashed a stock l900 rom and did the reset thing you are talking about but it wouldnt go through..can you be more specific about the rom and what/how this baseband is installed..Ive beed using phils recovery but im familliar with the odin method..what line do you put it on the odin 3.07???
I will get on pc later and do you a full writeup with links.

Steps to hopefully fix your issues. Read through and download and copy all links to external sdcard before starting.
1. Perform a backup of everything (rom, internal sdcard)
2. Flash this twrp file from your current recovery http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0ltespr/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0ltespr.img
3. Under reboot options choose reboot recovery
4. Now in twrp choose wipe/format and select data, system, cache, and internal scard (/data/media)
5. Go back and select the data wipe option then type yes
6. When done go to reboot menu and reboot recovery
7. Now install Billards back to stock mc2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 but do not reboot and do not wipe anything
8. Now install this to gain root (do not use twrp's root option) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1584076&d=1356201390
9. Now you can reboot. The red light will come on and phone will display weird stuff then reboot.
10. Now it will take some time to boot but you will be on stock mc2 with everything updated to latest mc2 setting.
11. Dial ##786# phone will reboot
12. Dial ##"your msl"# and change both number sets to 10 0's once done phone will reboot
13. Do Hands free activation. If that does not work dial *228 and let that run if phone does not reboot reboot it yourself.
Now if everything went according to plan you should now have full service. Since this updated everything to factory stock mc2 you will need to install a custom recovery again. Also the mc2 baseband provided with the rom has always been stable to for me. Since I am flashed to cricket I had to reflash the phone everytime this happened to me but thankfully I flash it myself so it was easy.

NO matter what Rom I put on after this happens there is no network,,wireless works fine and so does the roms. Right after I rommed the ASOP latest nightly I called to make sure it was working fine and it was..Let ggogle put all my applications on and update them and went to bed,..When I woke up there was no network...So i used recovery and used 3 or 4 of my backups but none of them solved the network problem. I opened up backups to see if there was a file missing and I cant find any...Im willing to send some $ if someone can help me. By the way this has happened 3 times before but all sprint guys do is get me another phone and Im afraid thats going to be stopping soon..I just need to find out why this is happening so it doesnt happen again..thanks

If the method above doesn't work do you happen to have a backup of your nv items or your efs partitions?

Try the hands free activation if that does not work try *228.

This may help I believe it sets your partitions right. This is for 4.1.2 MC2.

Do have IMEI under about phone/status? Does it display your number or anything?
Sounds like you need to Odin flash a stock firmware with tz, param and modem..With a pit file so it flashes to the correct partition..
I'm on Verizon and this happened to me..lost everything under status..I flashed what I stated above and it fixed everything. .
If that doesn't work flash your KIES image and after re root and unlock your phone:thumbup:

Did you try and flash the zip I posted? It sets your carrier partitions! It is for the Sprint Galaxy Note 2...I've used it...it works. Just saying it couldn't hurt to try.

What about flashing the mk4 rom of your choice, then flash the newest mk4 modem..? I have the file if needed. Works great!

the phone is only 2 week old with the latest kit-kat installed from them..I think I read somewhere that if you go backwards to and older rom like mk2 it screws the phone up because of the knox??? anyway yes I flashed it but honestly Ive done so many things ,so many times,,,every modem, mk2, mk4, rooted , unrooted , different recovery...I even got the note 2 toolkit updated donated version...nothing is working,perhaps the order in which i do these things may be off but when the phone is supposed to reboot it doesnt , when its supposed to show a number it doesnt..actually the more I do to it the worse it gets..It will go into recovery and odin mode, but some of the things that were sure fire arent even working...Yes as long as still have the phone i would try it can you send me a link for those files..thanks
