Hello. I am very new to this all but I did watch the noob video and I have done over two days of searching on this forum to find the answer I seek. I come very close to getting what I want but then I get terribly lost in the jargon and lingo that is associated with this forum. I want to take a N7100 from Cellular One and unlock it to use a Verizon Sim card in it. The phone is currently using Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and the broadband version is N7100UBDMA1.
Now before I get the same reply that there is an unlock for this phone that requires 4.1.1 and that I am a noob. I want to say I have flashed my phone back to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and the menu that I needed still did not show. I do not mind reading or typing replies to this post, however if you would be interested in using teamspeak 3 to help me I have a server and would be willing to give the info. Thank you for reading this and please be helpful when replying.

Hi, I am a noob at this but after looking around on the net for a day, I'm already confused...
OK, here's the situation, its fairly simple... I bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE i9305 (UK EE) but want to unlock it.
It is running Android 4.1.2 and therefore "The Trick" doesn't work as it is missing the final option...
1) I have therefore read that I can downgrade it to 4.1.1 and then use the trick...
2) or I could "Root" it....
Which of these is most straight forward. I don't mind Rooting it cos I gather it's not THAT risky...
So far, I've downloaded Odin but don't know what to do with it....I also just want to use Stock ROM and don't know where I can get that... there are too many other ROMs to choose so just want to keep it simple.
Please can someone help?? I realise other people may have asked this question before, so therefore if someone could point me in the right direction and show me a simple and easy to follow guide, I would be most grateful.:good:
Many Thanks in advance!

Wrong forum. Ask your questions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563
Hey guys, before I begin, I've attempted to search the forums & I've been unable to find an adequate answer, so if there is an answer out there to my question & I missed it, my bad.
My question is thus. I have a Galaxy S3 LTE, model sgh-t99L T-Mobile branded & I'm considering rooting & installing a custom rom. I have done this previously with a HTC Sensation 4g successfully & I'm comfortable with the procedure. However, I've been unable to find any information on if it is possible to root the T-Mo S3 LTE model, if there is a way to restore the device to stock after rooting it, and the necessary tools to do so.
I'm happy with my device as is, but I like to tweak things, so I'd like to at least know if its possible to root my device & if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction.
*Note at the time of posting this, the search feature was "unavailable"*
Thank you guys for your assistance

Ok, first thing you need to know is this is a question, and as such should be asked in Q&A. Also if you were to look in Q&A you would find a dedicated thread for the T999L that is almost always on the first page. And if you read the stickies you would find a link to it in the roll-up thread.
Not lecturing, just helping so you know for the future. Also, when xda search is down, you can Google "xda T999L info" or similar and it should show up.
Your questions are already answered in that thread btw. Link is also in my Sig.

Hi, there are a few tutorials on rooting Note 2.
There is a step by step guide on galaxynote2root.com, google it with your model number phone its easy to find. I am unable to send you the link due to not posting enough comments yet. (SORRY I TRIED)
Let me know how you go...
marky.
Sorry for asking this but with lots of people making topics about same topic its geting confusing.
Can we keep a sticky on how and what works then lock it?
I'm looking to unlock 2 x Note II I317M's
# 1.) Is running NH2 4.4.2 Firmware
# 2.) Is running MK5 4.3 Firmware
So can I just downgrade the modems to MODEM_I317MVLALJ2 If so how can I do this?
Only asking because some are saying you can and some are saying you can't. Sorry again for asking this. I just don't want to brick these phones. One is for my pregnant wife and one is for me as our 2.5yr old broke both of ours and got these ones second hand but they are locked. Just don't want this to be wasted money.
Thank you all xda'ers in advance
Anyone?
Wow thanks guys your input was helpful and it works.
Oh wait no one gave input.
Anyways for others. its only the modem you flash not rom.
Some say rom but you just need the modem.
thanks again xda'ers ill be sure not to come to this site again for help.
What's rude is is that people donate $ and phones for support yet onece new device is out yiu really don't give support. If no support then refund donations.
If you down grade to 4.1.1, you can unlock the devices using the service menu. The only way you can get 4.1.1 onto the device is using Odin. There is a tutorial somewhere on xda that gives you the step-by-step.

All of that rant to find information about a sim unlock ?
Happy hunting. ... (hint: Google it...)

Hi guys !
First: Sorry if this is not te area to post my thread, Mods please feel free to move it where it may belong.
Second: I have a Samsung GT-N7105 according to XDA Forum, SGH-I317M writed on the Back of my phone or T0lte on te CyanogenMod forum (lot of names) the problem is that the phone its "Unlocked" for any company but last week my Data Plan ends, i pay the renovation but they give me another CHIP, from other company and put my data plan on it. When i put it on, the rest of the day it was working with out any problem, but in the night just stops working and asks for a Unlocked Sim Code... there's the problem. I look for the solution here on XDA and with the 4.1.1 version i can get on to "Service Mode" and use the options to unlock it for any carrier. I looked on the past threads, and other links and forums. But i can get that specific version of android. So i wonder if please someone from here have it? ad can share it to make testes to unlock my phone.
Thank you in advance and hope somebody can help. looking forward to any answer.
Which phone do you have according to the imei?
