now I can only make energency calls. when i call some1 else it says 'mobile network not available'. seriously wtf is going on please help.

I think if you are locked to a carrier you have to use firmware provided by your carrier they have the correct settings
The THANKS button is still there

You might forget to put back the SIM card after flashing the ROM...?

Question of look of phone

Hey guys my dad surprised me today by buying a samsung galaxy s3. i have one concern and thats the phone doesnt say tmobile on the back nor samsung galaxy s3 on the back but just Samsung in silver letters behind it. i checked the model and it says in settings SGH-T999. is this still the real tmobile ssg3?
kinda looks like

Did you get it with a box?

No my dad ought it from a friend its brand new it has the sticker on it and what not, but it came with no box. got the charger and the phone.

Do you have the T-mo bloat?

His friend probably bought the gsm version if its not branded. This version is actually a little different because it has a quad core processor. The american version has a dual core processor but 2 gb of ram. You say the model number says t999 though and if that is the case then it is the tmobile version of the gs3. This model number is that of a tmobile branded phone. Maybe you just got one without branding. It is indeed real

yes i have like tmobile my account and name is and tmoible tv and hotspot

that seems odd well that it doesn't say T-Mobile in the back and then has T999 on the phone

Last check would be to check ram. If you have 1.62 gb available, then it's probably T-mo....maybe just a separately bought back cover.
Or if you have root, check your build.prop

How many sim card slots does it have? Check the version of software. Also check the app store and make sure it's not in Chinese... Lol if not you're all good.

Yeah you're good. But if you do happen to brick your phone by flashing a T-Mobile ROM when it turns out that your phone is a different variant, then it's not my fault.

okay thanks guys. last question and that is when u get a message or notifi from like whats app does ur notification LED blink or stay on?

It blinks. When it's charging or fully charged it stays on.

You even have what I think is the most recent baseband, LG1 rather than LEM!

Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Hi
I'm probably picking up a T889 tonight from Kijiji. It was bought through Wind apparently.
Does Wind still lock their phones, or can I just pop in my Mobilicity sim card?
If it is locked, what's the best way to get it unlocked? Anyone have good result with a particular service, or homebrew method?

Wind does still lock their phones I would suggest if it's on 4.1.1 then use the free way to unlock it but if it's on 4.1.2 the use cellunlockers.net

Hi guys, you can unlock you N7105 via the Samsung hidden menu. [Also works with N7100 and some Galaxy S3 (SIII) variants - NOT ALL]
=======================================
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...
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.....
========================================
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 ...
========================================
I have mentioned in my old thread that there was a pop up message that says "Conditional call forwarding active" everytime I make a phone call using another SIm card that the phone was not able to use before unlocking.
I can confirm that this was due to my Sim card. It is a very old O2 sim card that I have used for years. I have tried that Sim card on another factory unlocked phone (Galaxy i8160 bought from P4u) and it had the same message.

Actually, you'll want to flash the "LTE" version that's meant for the Qualcomm radio equipped Note 2s. Not the Intel baseband HSPA-only GT-N7100.

Has anyone tried any AOKP based ROMs? If so, how are data speeds?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

I've been through many Cyangenmod roms and they've been fine. Your radio should be unchanged as AOSP roms don't come with a modem so data speeds should be the same. Battery life takes a big hit though on anything not Touchwiz from personal experience.

Hey Byangmang whats your favorite ROM then? I would really like to know. Thanks

I've been through most of the popular AOSP and Touchwiz roms before settling with Jedi X as my faily driver. This rom has great battery life and solid performance, with a lot of useful customizations. Definitely recommend that one.

[Q] Note 2 Big Issue - PLEASE HELP!!!

Sorry I m a Beginner in the android world, so i will do my best to explain my issue
Please help me all help needed
1) I bought a Galaxy Note 2 from a person - he said that Note 2 was BLOCKED by T-mobile - I verified with T-mobile and the IMEI is indeed theirs and it is BLOCKED - so we know this is a REAL phone, NOT a clone
2) when I bought it he said that the phone was unlocked and is being used on AT&T - I verified and saw that he was using on AT&T network before he Reset everything and gave to me.
3) i went home and put in my AT&T sim and the screen read "Sim Network Unlock Pin" with Unlock and Dismiss button below. I thought this was the sim lock, so i removed the sim lock, but it still show that on the start screen - so here I thought that the Phone Might have been Un-Unlocked due to Reset.
4) I went ahead and follow the direction on how to unlock S3/Note 2 from XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982), - btw i did this Successfully on 2 S3 before. Here is another problem: Under Lock Network screen (option 6) I cannot see option 4: [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ (Does not exist) - So I have no way of unlocking it since this option is not available.
5) I thought that he did somekind of custom rom, but no - i checked and the Binary counter is 0 - phone status is Normal.
Please help me.
All I want is to use ATT now.
Please help me I will stay all Night till this is solved.
Thanks all in advance.
BTW attached is my About screen in case anyone have question.
*** second issue that we will talk later is - i have another note 2 bought directly from t-mobile with 4.1.2 - this one does not have [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ . either. - how weird.
I check at the store and their note 2 4.1.2 HAS that option. !!! - we shall talk about this issue at another time

Can anyone please help me

No, i dont think they share blacklist. When i bought the phone it clearly showed att and use normally, then i took his sim out and reset the phone and brought it home. Test with T-mobile sim right away (i have both tmobile and ATT) - t-mobile say SEARCHING.... it is block so could not find any net work, but when i pop in at&T it said "Sim unlock pin"
Also the reason y i know t-mobile and att don't share the same black list is because i used a blocked s3 on att before

Oh, learned something new today!

hi,
i did some research and i think T-mobile and AT&T will potentially share the blacklist - but don't know it worked on my s3 before.
I just came up with an IDEA and would like to hear from Pros see if it will work.
What is if Install Samsung ROM - but the international version (usually my t-mobile i would download tar.md5 from t-mobile, same for att). What would happen to my phone if i download and install International rom - would it make my note 2 INTERNATIONAL - that mean it is NOT lock to any carrier?

I'm not sure how the store model had this option because it shouldn't. Anyways, use Odin to restore an older firmware then follow the unlock process and you'll be good.

^this. Should be on any 4.1.1 then you'll have the [4] option

You have to downgrade to the lj1 modem I think. Whatever was before ll4 then unlock then reflash mb4 modem

Stay clear from blacklisted phones. Solves this issue
I hope that blacklisted s3 was not the phone someone stole from me.. I would never buy a Black listed phone. I do know all of them are not blacklisted because reported stolen. But if you take the ability to sell them People will STOP STEALING THEM..
Just as a quick note. In The future it might be best to not Buy blacklisted or bad imei Phones.. Some are from contracts not fulfilled .. Questionable as to rather a carrier should be able to black list or not..
But equally number of them are STOLEN. What if it were your phone.
I so was not going to write this post . But it It really much different then software piracy or buying Stolen goods...
Just my opinion.. Ohh and yes i think the carriers are evil in near every way.
Good Luck and hope you get it fixed but only if it was not a Stolen phone. if it were . Well my above comment will tell you my thoughts.

Is there a way for you to talk to that person and ask him where he got the phone from? i hope this gets resolved ASAP

Hello all
Thanks for helping.
Indeed i have downgraded to 4.1.1 and now have 4 option and was able to unlock it for AT&T
However, i have a silly question that i hope to find a RIGHT answer.
I know that we can do Custom Rom for note 2 - however, I was wondering if we can install ATT OEM Rom to T-mobile note2, or T-mobile OEM Rom to AT&T note 2?
DOnt know if i made it clear enough.
Please help.
Thanks

Difference between Product name and model number?

My Mobile network has decided to stop working,and while repairing my S3 by trying to flash back to a stock firmware ive noticed that on download mode it says next to the product name:SCH-I535.....But when go to check on my baseband (which is displaying Unknown) under "about device" I noticed that the model number says SGH-T999. have a tmobile sim card but SCH-I535 is a Verizon model. So my question is which one is correct Model number:SGH-T999 or Product name: SCH-I1535??
