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?
Sent from my E250K usind xda-developers app.
any feedback is highly appreciated.. This issue is driving me nuts now

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.
Sent from my SHV-E250K using xda app-developers app
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

Can this international note 2 work on U.S. T-mobile? Comes with chinese jellybean software idk if it's even real or not......

Thanks for the info! It's just weird that it comes with chinese software. Any idea if i'd get 4g? (HSPA+)
I think the default language for the N7102 is Chinese.
As for 4G, im not sure. It should though since its Quad Band
Edit, checked the N7102 thread and saw this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37317017&postcount=554
Oh so it won't work? Wow great thing I didn't decide to get it.
Not sure what country you are in but HSDPA+ isnt 4G ... those guys with N7102 outside china appear to have continued issues & I dont think a they will ever get what they hoped.
I completely dropped my plan to get one after reading the threads.
My need is for one sim for calls & texts & Another for Data only (im in UK) so I got a N7105 & for the data sim a Huawei E586 HSDPA+ Mifi router which also has sms send capability.
The 7102 in my opinion has too many down sides just to get 2 live call lines.
No warranty ... already people are reporting faulty units.
Samsung gt-n7102 reboot loop
Hi guys,
I'm new here so I hope am at the right place. Anyway I tried rooting my gt-7102 and now it on continuous restart loop. I tried going to recovery mode by pressing the power + home and the volume up button but it just keeps on restarting showing a white blank screen which lasts for about ten seconds or so. I tried using Smart phone flash tool but it keeps on saying searching. Tried to work with mtk droid tools but it says device not connected. I can't connect to the device in any way as keeps restarting since it is continuously connected and disconnected from my pc after every ten seconds or so. pliz someone help.
Thanks

This phone is an MTK or MediaTek phone, it has a different way of rooting it, Google FramaRoot and try with that. im not even sure how you were able to try to root it since i cant get into download mode in my phone but anyway, to unbrick the phone i guess you can try a jig or if not Google unbrick MTK and do some research. Good luck!
Hi everyone.
I got phone from UK and i want use in PL.
I would like unlock sim card only.
Maybe I have to install new ROM and all will be good?
Any hint, please?

Sim lock is related to hardware. You can't unlock by flashing software. (Like OS)

Whenever my friends use to purchase mobile which was in an offer by network locked in the middle east, they used to call for 5-10 mins in the same country before sending it to their families in another. And I used to think they were STUPID. Fortunately, their network locked mobiles do get unlocked but I couldn't believe them as I didn't understand the logic behind it. After hearing your success story, I kinda believe it but still how will it unlock technically?

try to flash firmware for specific country you want to use your phone, find here
or you can dial a code *#272* "you imei no." # and choose your country code for poland choose XEO and touch install then reboot and be free :good:
I recommend the dial code cause its safer and easier for me
IT WILL FACTORY RESET YOU PHONE SO MAKE A FULL BACK-UP :good:

Hi
I have the same issue. Bought a non working j500fn from ebay. It was not charging and not booting. Managed to fix it. However, now it appears that it is sim locked. It asks for a sim unlock code. I tried flashing different FWs, but with no result. The issue remains. Tried dialing the code you mention "*#272+IMEI*" but again nothing. By the I can not execute any codes. Even *#06# to show the IMEI does not work. I might have broken something, while trying different FWs.
Also I tried using SamsungToolPro but again couldn't get the unlock code. On the videos I watched, people presses a button "Read codes" in the SamsungToolPro and the tool showed them the unlock code. However, there is no such button for my model j500fn. I tried J300 and there is such a button and when I press it starts showing info for my phone j500fn, but when it comes to the retrival ot codes it just stops with an error that it tried to access an invalid memory or something.
Also I can not use an UK SIM, because I am in Bulgaria and don't have any active UK sim cards here with me.
Please help me. This is a rather old model so I am pretty sure there has to be a way to unlock it. Otherwise I will have to trow it away or re sell it for parts. The display is in perfect condition by the way. That way I bought it.
anyone ..... ? can't anyone help? Hereis full of android gurus, i thought this would be an easily one ...
HI
I am proud to anounce that after trying several firmware images i finally managed to unlock the sim of the phone.
The key element is to be able to run the hidden codes, which I wasn't for some reason. For example, *#06# didn't show me anything. When you get that fixed, you have to enter the hidden code *#0808# and select "DM+Modem+ADB” . After that just use the Z3X\Samsung\SamsungToolPRO - press "Unlock" and you are done.
i figured here would be a better place to ask since no dedicated stylo 2 threads

thanks for your response
that one doesn't work either
touch assist when I press home it says complete setup and long press just disappears
I think LG finally blocked all methods of bypass

Prob whatll happen. My wife has a cricket stylo 2 put it up for hers just incase
A friend of mine gived to me a SM-N975X Note 10+ model. It looks like a demo unit model unable to read a sim and call.
I'd like flash a stock rom with Odin but I can't find a "SM-N975X" rom. Only "Combination file" that I dont know wath it is.
Some hints?
Thx a lot
Looks like that's a demo unit and nothing more then just a demo unit.
Searching the forum found the following thread that contains info which will answer your question.

You can unlock it with a password , if it's from a best buy store
I mean to unlock the demo retailer stuff that keeps cycling , and you would be able to use it normally , without the sim.
Step 1
From your Home Screen touch the “Apps” icon – it’s in the bottom-right corner.
Step 2
Scroll through your apps and find “Samsung Retail Mode” app ….. not be confused with the “RetailMode” app. Open up Samsung Retail Mode.
Step 3
Touch “Configuration settings”
Step 4
Enter the password: blue
and touch OK
To consider: maybe this phone wont be able to charge to 100% , it's top is 70%
Let us know if this worked for you !
Zappomax - Are you asking how to disable the store demo mode or how to make it so the phone can use a sim card and access the cell network.
Your original post made it sound like you wanted to use it on the cell network, but in hindsight you may have been asking about something else.

What I'd like to do is using all the usual cell phone features like a stock phone (especially sim calls).
I heard about "combination file" rom but I don't know exactly if it is useful in this case
Unfortunately, no, it will be of no use, the demo units in any case are not capable to do what you want, it is not just a firmware thing, it is a phisical restriction what prevents them from being used as regular phones, no way to circumvent it, that's it, to finish this, that these demo units end in the hands of people is an irregular ocvurence, as all these units are intended to return to Samsung once their life cycle ends, they are nit intended to be sold in any case, so...

Adding a little more info the combination file requires a token in order to be flashed/used. This token is not free and costs a pretty hefty sum (per posts here on the forum).
Without this token (or "authorization for use" if this term fits better) you will not be able to use the firmware.

There is no hardware for that on those demo motherboards ( anthenas connectors and cables are missing there )
