baseband t889UVAJ1
as for the modem if you mean the android version it's 4.1.1
i downgraded from 4.1.2
i just thought about something.. Could it be possible that when i downloaded the 4.1.1 firmaware, was i also suppose to get the modem?
from the list i seen factory image odexed deoxed kernel an modem..
what i did was only downloaded the factory image an flashed it with odin.

The factory image includes all components of ROM (bootloader, modem, kernel, system).
If phone is already on T889UVALJ1 then the unlock method should work.
Did you see a menu after entering *#197328640# ?
You can go back to this menu and check status of "[3]Perso SHA256 OFF"
Did you reboot the phone after this process, are you trying a SIM from a different carrier ? (just making sure)

T989D,Strange Error regarding unlocking

Got myself a Telus Galaxy S2 T989D variant and want to unlock it.
Place a foreign sim card (wind mobile, Rogers) and it doesn't prompt me with the unlock screen? Instead it brings me to the homepage with a "No Service" message. Phone doesn't access the "Mobile Networks" section either just asks me to insert sim card (i know it can detect sim card as i can pull contacts off of it).
Phone is currently 2.3.5 gingerbread. I am familiar with Odin, with my friends telus s2x phone i made a backup in the recovery screen on the micro sd card i have. He is running the latest android. Can i recover from that back up image to install latest android version? And possibly get the prompt for a unlock code?
Thank you
As well my when i check for my IMEI number *#06# it shows null/null?

that i am not sure. Stock rom and everything?
Guy i bought it off said he hasn't tried any unlocking or put in any other sim card other than telus.
Should i get the stock telus rom and flash it via Odin? Do i need to root it first or just start it in download mode, connect, and flash?
If you're using odin, then no need to root.
Make sure you're using telus when using odin, if you used any other carriers it may result in a hard or soft brick.

Is this a common thing to do for an unlock? Flash it back to complete stock settings?
I've changed it to factory default by recovery mode but i guess that doesn't cut it.
I've rooted before but never unlocked a phone. Thanks.
Now just need to get Odin to read device. ugh.
Yes because for some reason custom ROMs is missing the files required for the pop up

[Q] Help needed urgently..no 3g?

Hi everybody,
This is my first post on this forum, I am writing as I am in desperate help to help solve my issue with my note 2. I am on Tmobile in the UK. I rooted and installed a custom rom. My 3g signal disappeared. So I tried to go back to stock firmware, which I did. But I have made a mistake and installed a 'three' network firmware (4.2.1) and I am still unable to receive 3g signal? Does anybody have any idea as to where I have gone wrong or how to get my internet back?
Thanks in advance
Danny
Go to setting - wireless (more) - mobile network - access point names
Now if you can see any apn there open it and delete
Then select menu key-restore to defaut
If it doesn't work
You can ask operator for it
Or manually copy from others who have working 3g and have same operator
Or
Select toolbox in my signature and find last tool and try that.

Thanks so much for the reply. I tried deleting the APN...and then resetting it but it just put back on the exact one that I deleted. I clicked on your toolbox link...what is it that i have to download from there? I am completely baffled as to what to do. I mean I am on a tmobile contract, so am confused as to why I am now on the three network firmware? Would that have something to do with it?
If I can get it back to tmobile stock then I could take it into store and let them sort it I suppose.
Thanks
Yes download that you may find correct apn from its database for your network and you can manually copy it.

I am using the GT-N7100 on Tmobile. I saw a video that said you could put any network carrier firmware on to the phone by flashing it on Odin. I did that but it was with the three network firmware 4.2.1. So obviously when the phone boots it has the three logo etc. I am trying to find a stock 4.2.1 tmobile firmware, so I can flash that onto the phone....hopefully see if that sorts the 3g problem and if it doesnt I can atleast take the phone into tmobile and get the problem sorted without them asking questions.
I have been on Sammobile.com for firmwares...does tmobile firmware come under the code 'BTU'?
Edit
Sorry it's not Germany
N7100 don't have tmobile i think
Its not have different model?
Wait someone on tmobile answer it

You are a diamond. I will download and flash it over and see what happens.

If that works for you, then just note apn setting manually and later flash any latest 4.1.2 rom for unbranded
And if your 3g won't work just put it manually, but I think unbranded should work.
I am saying this bcoz rom you are downloading having two serious bug.
Exploit
SDS
And very dangerous and can brick your device.
---------------------------
Meantime check your apn and correct following field if that is different than mentioned below
Apn : internet
If not work then check below said too

I flashed the firmware onto my phone but it has been stuck on the boot logo for over half an hour now. I have run out of ideas. I will keep searching for the tmobile firmware.
Sorry...the phone has finally booted and is now working and back. 3g is online too!!! Thankyou so much for the help!
Gld to know you sorted out it
anyway,whenever phone stuck after flashing ROM, first step to follow is wipe cache and data from recovery.

IMEI valid still no Data after flashing CM

Just came back to twiz after using CM11 for a couple weeks. Odin to 4.1.2 then flashed 4.3 with twrp recovery. Right now I have an IMEI number, but no internet access, no bluetooth mac address and obviously no ip address. Wifi works perfectly, tried removing sim and restarting and all that. Wondering what I can do to fix this? Odin again? Also when I try to access mobile networks under connections, it shows a error "insert sim card to access netowork services"
Btw I didn't restore imei, it was already got. Also didn't want to make new post but trying to edit in stop was causing fc

Your APNs could be faulty. Better Do Factory Reset in Recovery then wipe Dalvik + Cache then re-flash your CM again. First thing to do after that is check your Access Point Names in Settings >Advanced > Access Point Name
Did you flash the 4.3 modem?

There's instructions inside the thread already. Just after you're done flashing the ROM and it asked you if you would like to reboot. Press no & then flash the T-Mobile modem. And then restart. & when it said twrp suggested its because cwm would keep freezing the aroma installer. I used philz touch (cwm based) & it worked fine. Just install it & if it freezes pull the battery & go into the recovery and retry to install it again. The first boot up during the setup wizard. Skip through it and when you exit out of it you're 4g will come up. The APN's are already set for it. That's about it

Thanks, I had some problems at first setup as I was not able to talk with anyone but no signal problems were there too. Weird one huh? It was fixed after second flash. I'm wondering if it would cause troubles if I overclock my CPU. and 1gb of ram is used by the ROM itself. Freaking MONSTER
Are you on the 3.1.1 build? If you wanna flash that on t889 gotta flash dn3 v1.0 and then dirty flash the 3.1.1 version to get it to boot. In aroma check n7105, note 3 launcher, pen window manager and xposed installer. Worked great for me

Not yet because i can't even make any phone calls either. Where the signal metter shows its a circle with a line through it. When i go to about phone and status it shows baseband is unknown. However when i revert back to 4.1.2 tweaked rom my signal comes back just fine and data works like anything. Just with internatioal roms i cant make calls, receive them or have data connection. Yes i do have my EFS backed up

Works well with t889
No issues!
First did Dr. Ketan WiFi patch
Downloaded N7105 3.1.1 (LTE)
Recovery> Choose N7105>
After Installation selected 'No' to reboot and installed T Mo Modem (T889UVUCMK7_Modem-Dec_9_13)
Reboot
Took 4 mins for first time setup
Did OTA Update to 3.2
Rebooted
A Min now
Downloaded build.prop editor
Did edit in Model number to SGH-T889 from N7105
Done!
If nothing else works, you could also try app selinuxmodechanger from the app store. Open and set to permissive.
