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 bought this phone a year ago from Rogers and I had it unlocked after canceling service with them.
About 2 weeks ago this phone broke on me, so I sent it in for repair under warranty from Samsung. They fixed it and replaced the motherboard in the phone. However, now the phone is locked again to Rogers. I called Rogers and they refused to unlock it again, telling me I need to get service from them to get them to unlock it since it was over 6 months.
I called Samsung and they told me they can't help me. I already paid to have this unlocked before, how cna I unlock this phone? This is driving me crazy. I can't use the phone I paid for and I can't use my sim card.

You can try the linked method on 4.1.2, and if it does not work, downgrade the phone to rogers 4.1.1 and use this technique to unlock. It will stay unlocked after doing this. I have done it on Rogers S3'shttp://www.redmondpie.com/permanent...-and-galaxy-note-ii-for-free-how-to-tutorial/

Hi all,
I would like to start off by saying that i dont care about any warranty or any such issues. I had bought a S4 in US which i brought to India without ever activating on T Mobile network. This means that on contacting T Mobile, they are unable to send me any activation code which could SIM Unlock my device.
So now my only problem is to make my device usable. I see two options:
a) SIM Unlock
b) Complete removal of firmware and install some custom ROM, bootloader and other components to get rid of T mobile network
Problem is that i am a newbie and couldnt find any thread that could help me. MY device is updated to the latest version i.e. i am on 4.4.2 with baseband as M919UVUF9B4 and knox bootloader
Can someone help me out. I have already tried rooting the device and trying some apps which suggested that would help me unlock my device but none of them worked..
Thanks

If you paid T-Mobile the full price for the phone approx US$500-US$600 (not the subsidized price) before you left, they should provide you with the SIM Unlock code. You may need to talk with another customer service agent. However, if you only paid the subsidized price, then you've broken the contract with them, and they won't. You'll have to contact a company that will sell you an unlock code.
As to rooting the phone, have you tried this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005 ?
If this doesn't work, you're doing it wrong.

Flashing a custom rom will not allow it to work on a different network. The phone will still be sim locked.
Like the post above me says, call T Mobile and have them give you the code. If you didn't pay the phone off, they won't give it to you nor should they.
Chainfire's Region Lockaway app will SIM unlock in the process of removing region restrictions. I remember reading something to that effect anyway.
For use chainfire's Region Unlock, you must be root.

@Skipjacks & rlichtefeld: I have already tried calling T Mobile and they are not ready to provide me any unlock code since the phone was never used on the network. Yes, its paid in full but i am in India now and cannot do much from back here to fight with them.
Have already tried chainfire's Region Unlock but its unusable on 4.4.2.
Please suggest the ways in which i can unlock my phone which is on 4.4.2 with baseband as M919UVUF9B4 and knox bootloader and i request you to please do not assume that phone is blacklisted or the warranty be void. i just want my phone to work here and that's it.

i am working on trying to figure out which firmware can be flashed. and you need a unlock code for the sim lock
The Xfinity Mobile Samsung Note 8 (SM-N950U) is basically the same as the verizon branded phone. This means the bootloader is locked and will likely never be unlocked. This means you won't be able to install TWRP or load any of those custom roms
---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------
You should be able to root it using the SamFail method but unfortunately there are restrictions
For example Magisk not working and it will fail safety net check.
Anyone with Xfinity Mobile who might be curious about doing this, I have successfully obtained root using SAMFAIL method... Follow his instructions exactly as written! When the device restarts after the second part of this tutorial you might end up with a blue screen that restarts the phone and flashes blue over and over, what I did next was I downloaded this firmware http://updato.com/firmware-archive-s...3AFA163EE8F90B and flashed the Home CSC file alone using the normal version of Odin 3.12.7 that is included in his post (with the Comsy version that was used in the first two parts). My phone came with original firmware so just a heads up. After flashing Home CSC, phone booted normally and SuperSU worked. Make sure you give everyone in that post credit for the amazing work with bringing us an option for root in such a short amount of time! If you have any questions please let me know and I'll help you as best as I can.

The phone is carrier unlocked but Xfinity has it SIM locked to their SIM. If you send them a message or call them however, they will email you a unlock code within 3 days. I have a few phones with them and this is what I did, they are all SIM unlocked now
Man this phone is so good without root I can't imagine rooting it. Between Samsung Themes, and Substratum my phone is totally themed out.

Using xfinity note 8 with oreo full version want too downgrade back too nougate.
Hello everyone first thank you for reading and commenting on my post.
I have a xfinity mobile devicè that originally came with nougate 7.1.1 and I flashed it by sd card flash. I have a few bugs like 1. Security notification that keeps popping up all the time.
2. When watching you tube after a while the app get stuck and usually just have too restart and then works fine till the next time.
3. I cant send messages with pictures or videos thru stock messaging app from samsung. I can send text thru samsung message app. So I downloaded the Verizon message app and it works fine using that app because xfinity uses Verizon for carrier service LTE.
I am wondering first what is the exact correct firmware for xfinity mobile on note 8.?? Where can I get it from?
( I know the original firmware had a "j" in it) for nougate 7.1.1
If I cant fue the bugs on oreo 8.0 full version "please tell me how? Then...Next thing is I have oreo 8.0 with samsung experience 9.0 can I and how do I downgrade back to nougate correctly but I tryed and was unsuccessful. I tryed downloading a firmware off the internet and storing it and renaming it on sd card so I can flash it while in dfu mode. But it didnt work.
So bottom line is if I can just fix those bugs and stay on full version oreo 8.0 then please tell me how?
Otherwise please tell me how and where I can achieve downloading the exact firmware build for my phone and the samsung experience 8.0.? I need too know if its possible and where too get everything from and instructions how? Thank you all my XDA friends

Xfinity Boot Screen After Unlock
I have a Xfinity Note 8. I paid to have it unlocked so I could sell it easier. I have flashed many S8, S8+ but no Note 8 or Xfinity. Typically after an unlock, with a new SIM it would carrier flash after reboot. This one does not. I used my sons Verizon SIM no problem but it still had the Xfinity splash screen and apps. Could I resolve this through flashing with oden? I’m afraid to try since this is the first Xfinity phone I’ve come across. Any help or tips is appreciated!

You would have to reflash the Note 8 with the carrier unlocked firmware. The one you would buy from Samsung where there would be no carrier branding you would get the firmware from XDA Developers and they would provide guys in tutorials and how to flash the non carrier-branded firmware to the Note 8

Using Samfirm, what region would I enter? OR, If I download from SamMobile, should I just use the USA version. I see mine SM-N950USQ3BRA6 listed as (Unknown).
I would like the phone to carrier flash with each SIM so they buyer won't be intimidated. With the other phones if done this with, usually other S8, S8+, I haven't had to do it but twice for AT&T S8's. For some reason those in particular will sometimes not recognize the SIM even after unlocking and flashing through SamFirm and Oden has done the trick. I'm sort of a newb. I used to flash ROMS years ago but recently find myself buying and selling for profit. Thanks for your help!!
I'll try later and post my results.
would just want to know by any chance if flashing another rom pr rooting the device will remove the network lock of my carrier?
Thank you

As far as I'm aware NO it won't remove carrier lock, you'll just have to wait for that to become available......:good:
No it won't work
Thank you
any reliable unlocking companies?

The most reliable unlocking company would be the carrier itself

Hi
I made a stupid mistake with my G988B, its were not working well, so I decided install a stock rom, but downloaded and installed o last version of software from another country (G988BXXS2ATD5, XEF ) whit Security Level Patch of may 1, 20.
After installed new stock rom, my phone ask for Network Unlock Code.
When realized of my mistake, tried reinstall orignal version of firmware (G988BXXU1ATCT, PGU) but nothing work for me. I have tried to flash with Odin, but always, process stop in "flashing vbmeta.img."
I have read a lot tread trying figure out my problem like: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s20/how-to/howto-root-s20-series-upgrade-firmware-t4079353/post82220417#post82220417
There is a way to come back original stock rom and then trying unlock network?
Could this process work in my case without damaging my phone?
Thanks.
Samkey can unlock phone with 1 or 2 credits

Thanks por your answer, but I did it.
It doesnt work.
Samkey is the only way to unlock a Samsung phone other than getting the network unlock code from the network or third party. You must know what you are doing. Google the process. If that doesn't work then there is an issue here that needs further investigation. Also ensure your active csc code is the one that was originally on the phone as well as stock rom. Sam key can be used to change csc as well.
Good luck

Thanks mikey_sk,
My problem is that both the csc code and the stock rom are not the original ones. Therefore I am looking for a guide to help me how to get back to the stock rom.
I have read that the problem is, the security patch that I installed as it is newer than the one I am trying to reinstall. I will keep trying.
I understand that so far there is no way to go back from binary 2 to binary 1.
Any help is appreciated.

Ok,
Thanks.
No more questions.
You can always use the sim slot 2, it is usually not locked.
I suggest you change the csc to a stock one using Sam key. Make sure you enable USB debugging in developer settings otherwise Sam key won't work. After that dowload the most recent stock rom for that device from sammobile and flash in ODIN but DO NOT use HOME_CSC so it can do a full wipe and rebuild the firmware. As an added measure as soon as installed go into recovery and do a full wipe. If network is still locked try unlocking it with samkey

Unfortunately for it, you mentioned only sim1 is blocked and you still can use sim2.
This is not network lock but rather imei blacklist.
The only way to fix this is to pay your telco bills from where you purchased the phone. If it's a used phone, I would get a refund. There is no roms you can use that can fix it as it's blacklisted from the telcos.
There is only 2 reasons it is locked.
1. You didn't pay your installment bills.
2. The phone is reported as stolen.
If you purchased a used phone, get a refund.
