I'm in need of some help. I have a Rogers Samsung Captivate Glide. I have succesfully unlocked the phone before using a unlock code given to me by the seller. I recently factory reset the phone and it asked me for the network unlock code. Since I was unable to contact the original seller I purchased my own code on ebay. To my knowledge the numbers did seem familiar compared to the last code I was given. Unfortunately it did not work this time around and I am now out of attempts and the phone is completely unusable and just stays on a screen that tells me to contact my service provider.
I have unlocked many phones before and I have never had a problem with them re locking after a reset. I did some research and have read that this is a known issue with the glides relocking after a reset.
Yes, I did double check the imei before submitting my order and I did make sure to enter the correct code. I also did some more research but was not able to find anyone with my exact problem. If I mised it I apologiize.
So basically my question is is there anyway I can unlock it by rooting or flashing a custom rom or something of the sort? Yes I am a noob.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

there may be a time frame you have to wait until it resets and allows use of the phone, if not, try rebooting into recovery and doing a full wipe/factory reset including wiping the cache. that might get you going.

Thanks for the reply. I've already tried that though. The phone is completely stock. I went into recovery did a full wipe/ factory reset and wiped the cache. Still no luck...

It won't unlock now. You'll have to take it to the carrier otherwise you're out of luck.

Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1860003
Have you tried the emergency recovery thing in Kies? That should wipe out everything...
When my glide got locked, I used this solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1595756
you might want to try it.
I bought a Canadian Optimus LTE P930 unlocked off ebay. I have no idea which carrier it was originally locked to (most likely either Bell or Telus). It came with Gingerbread, and I immediately rooted and installed CM10 M2 snapshot. My carrier is Fido (subsidiary of Rogers) and my Fido sim card worked on Gingerbread, and was working on CM10 until just now. When it was working, it showed up as Rogers rather than Fido, but that's not unusual for custom ROMs.
After seeing some suggestions that changing the baseband could help with the random reboot problem on CM10, I went to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842763 and proceeded to try out the AT&T V18f baseband (from http://www.mediafire.com/?nniz00g7c7b3p). I installed the zip through CWM (I have the latest, 6.0.something).
After rebooting, my phone was completely unable to access the cellular network! I tried manually connecting to Rogers from the settings menu - no dice. I tried locking the phone in 2G mode and then reconnecting - no luck. Then I went back to that mediafire link and tried out every single baseband with the exception of P936 ones, and still no luck.
Finally I tried reinstalling CM10 from scratch (full wipe and everything) and still no dice even after trying all of the above again. I even reset APN settings to default.
I have not tried downgrading back to stock gingerbread (actually, I can't even find the ROM, other than in the Unbricking guide). I hope I won't have to end up buying an unlock code for a phone that came unlocked in the first place.
Due to my own stupidity, I did not take note of what the baseband was on my phone before I tried flashing a new one, so I really don't know which baseband is supposed to be working. I fear that this baseband experiment ended up re-locking my phone or something.
I have tried my Fido SIM in my other phones and it works, no problem.
Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks for any possible help.
That sucks that you are having a problem with the basebands. Lots of people have been using my zips and literally no one has reported any issue with them before, so it seems very strange that it would have caused something weird to happen on your phone.
I will say that I haven't had a chance to test the zips yet with the new version of CWM (6.0.1.5). Probably the first thing I'd try is downgrading CWM to 5.8.2.0 just because I really have no other idea why you'd be having that problem. Maybe someone else can chime in and let me know if the zips are working properly with 6.0.1.5 so we can rule that out as a possibility, but in the meantime it's something easy to try.
To downgrade, open ROM Manager, and scroll down to the very last option from the main menu. Select 5.8.2.0 and it will flash it for you. After that, reboot to recovery and try flashing one of the basebands again.
I just tested it with CWM 6.0.1.5 and it worked properly on my phone, so I don't think this is the cause of the problem.
I have just tried using the P936 basebands, and they did not work.
With every baseband I tried, my phone can detect that Rogers, Bell, and Telus networks exist (the latter two show up as a weird number on P936 basebands) if I use 3G mode, but can't connect to a single one. If I toggle 2G-only mode, it only detects the Rogers network, and still cannot connect. This is the behavior you'd expect from using a foreign SIM in a network-locked phone. From this, I think I can conclude that both the phone's radio chip and my SIM card are in working condition.
From what I have read, baseband flashing should not affect the network lock on a phone right?
If I can't find any alternative, I'm going to have to use the unbricking guide to downgrade to Gingerbread, which I hope not to do as it's a lot of time wasted, and I honestly don't even know if it'll solve the problem.
edit: to add, I don't have an LTE sim card (was planning to get one later this week) so all attempts to connect to a network are only 3G and 2G,
I don't know because I haven't ever had any reason to unlock my device.
Unless it has changed since the last time I tried it, CM9 and CM10 do not have support for unlocking your phone in the case that it is locked (but will work fine if the phone is already unlocked). Let's assume for the moment that your phone still works fine, but was relocked by installing a new baseband for whatever reason. If that's the case, then you must install one of the LG official ROMs in order to unlock the device again.
You don't actually need to unbrick though. I'd suggest that you take the system and boot images from the unbricking guide, push them to the device using adb, then force reboot the phone -- that way you won't lose CWM in the process.

Yeah that's true, pretty much all custom ROMs don't have the SIM unlock feature and that's fine. I am assuming my seller on ebay just entered the unlock code on stock Gingerbread before shipping it (at least that's what I would have done).
I guess I'll flash on an official ROM tonight. Do you know where I can find a CWM-flashable stock GB ROM? The unbricking guide looks pretty darn complicated and I would prefer not to spend too much time on this, since my phone isn't bricked.
edit: Let's pretend for the moment that flashing stock GB will solve the problem and restore network access. Is there a way I could back up the baseband afterwards?

I can make one fairly easily, give me a moment... Edit: nevermind, it will take forever to upload it.
Here's what you can do:
Download system and boot images from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597488
Then from either terminal emulator or adb shell, do this:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27
Then force shut off the phone (remove battery or hold power button for long time), and before you let it boot up, go to CWM (by powering the phone holding the volume down button) and do a factory reset from CWM, then reboot the phone normally and you should be in business.
Thanks a lot for your help, drumist. I am downloading the files now and trying my luck! Be back with the results later.
Oh, one other thing. I'd go ahead and flash the Bell v11a baseband before you do anything else. That's probably the one you want to use with that phone, and you don't want to flash another baseband after unlocking (at least, that seems to be the case).
Got the stock AT&T Gingerbread ROM running - and the first message I got was asking for a SIM network unlock PIN!
Looks like flashing the baseband indeed re-locked my phone (I didn't think this was even possible).
edit: Called my ebay seller and got the unlock code that he'd used before sending me the phone. All is well!
thanks drumist for saving me a lot of time with your "simplified steps".
This is all very strange because I also have an unlocked p930 but flashing new base bands has done nothing to affect my unlock.

Yeah, a lot of sites say unlocks are permanent due to how they affect hardware switches. Well, half an hour later I'm finally back on CM10 with network enabled.
Just tried flashing the V18f baseband from AT&T. This time it didn't affect my network.
Weird...
Background: (beginner level 1) I bought an i317 Note 2 online to use in Canada. Came with 4.1.2 so I did the downgrade to 4.1.1...ALJ2 modem and all to use the free unlock method. I followed the method to the letter and I thought it worked.
Problem: it just doesn't register on the network, it just displays a circle with a line through it where the network bars are supposed to be. I've spent hours, honestly, just searching through several threads and have tried almost all methods I came across to put it to stock and somehow get it to work. I've put in my Rogers sim card and even my friend's sim but same result.
So after months of quietly browsing through XDA and finding the solutions, I am forced to call the seasoned pro's to help me. Again, I've flashed the stock 4.1.1 ROM to put it back to stock and even flashed the modem for it separately and still no luck. The only other thing I suspect could be an EFS issue but I don't know if that is the case, or have the know-how to check and resolve if required. Please help.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

First check your imei by doing *#06# could be corrupted imei.

Yes, I checked and made sure that the IMEI matches to both the box and the sticker on the back. Also the APN appears for Rogers when I have the sim inserted and I am able to select it as well.
Having imei showing is a good sign
Use rom from here MA3 for Rogers you can also find correct odin from that thread.

Hopefuly its not efs problem cuz I know if you have efs issue you will get that yellow box with hardware info showing once you turn on the phone. You also mention that imei is still good and showing when you enter *#06# its more on enabling data connection with Rogers network.

Yes, the IMEI shows properly and matches to the sticker on the back. Also the baseband (modem) info also shows up correctly. It just remains in Airplane Mode and everytime I attempt to disable it, the phone pretends to be "processing" but the Airplane Mode option greys out - and the airplane mode remains active. I've spent all weekend on this and still no luck - guys I need help to bring my phone back to life. Earlier today I reflashed the 4.1.1 ALJ2 stock file through ODIN and still no change.
Also can someone point/guide me on how to restore the defaults on Service Mode/Menu - I bought it second hand and not sure if the previous owner made any changes trying to unlock the phone. I just want to revert everything back to stock to end with a working phone. Will flashing a stock ROM fix/revert any changes?
(I'm talking about the Service menu that is access using the *#197328640# used to unlock the phone)
Thanks.
Guys - I reflashed the original QCN (not sure if its proper or corrupted) that I got with the phone which has returned the phone to out of airplane mode but now I'm not catching any signal. I backed it up before proceeding to try with a dumbimei qcn with the aws mode thinking that might fix my problem. I'm really dumbfounded and need help. It's been 4 days now and I'm still without a phone...

So left the phone on overnight - woke up today and saw 1 bar and the phone registered on Rogers Network - so the problem now is low signal. I carried the phone around with me covering a variety of areas, especially those where signal should have been high, it still did not go above 2 bars... Please help.

Need help with lost unlocked
Hi, I've been trying to read as much as I can to solve my issue but no luck... I'm about to give up but thought someone here might be able to help hopefully!
Here's what happened, I bought an sgh-i317 running on 4.1.1 from someone online the phone worked properly at the time. I purchased an unlocked code from internet put it in everything worked fine. I later found the way to unlocked for free with the *#197.... but I said what the heck its already done... kept on reading got excited and decided to flash 4.1.2 rooted with odin... after that my nightmare began...
First I inserted an ATT sim and got the mm#2 sim not provisioned, then I tried a friends ATT it worked but when he putted back to his iphone he got his phone block so he had to call ATT to make it work again
Whenever I insert a T-Mobile sim or simple mobile I get the phone not allow mm#6
At first I thought the phone has been reported but I called ATT and they say it isn't, then I kept reading and nothing seems to repair this
I even reflashed everything to stock 4.1.1 to try to unlocked it with the *#197... again but it seems to do nothing now
then I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045563
where they say that once you are unlocked you shouldn't flash with odin... I guess I messed up...
My imei matches, the phone has not been reported, whenever I insert a foreign sim car I don't get the network lock screen but the phone not allow mm#6 message
I think that somehow when I updated to 4.1.2 with odin... I either lost or damage my unlock
could someone help?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
This is for a Canadian T889V (note 2) from Wind Mobile.
A few weeks ago I tried to use the online form to get an unlock code from Wind (they let you have the code after 6 months for $10), and the code didn't work, I called their customer support multiple times, and all I got was, try the same code again (tried it rooted/unrooted/completely stock, etc, etc...), and I'm down to the last unlock attempt.
They also suggested I call Samsung, which I did, but the Samsung rep just told me to call Wind again.
So, in the end, my situation is that I have 1 unlock attempt left, I have a pure stock phone (running 4.1.1, Baseband T889VVLALJ4 (I used Odin to flash image from SamMobile)) that has the flash counter tripped to 4, but at the Odin screen, it says:

So now, I think my only option left is to try a third party unlocking service, and hope that it works... does anyone have any suggestions for such service?
Also, is it possible to reset the unlock counter at all/if this fails horribly, am I stuck with Wind for good?

The first time I tried it I used the code on Jedi Master 10 (which is based on 4.1.2 if I'm not mistaken), I also tried the code on 4.1.2 stock (**MA3 base band), and 4.1.1 (**LJ4 baseband).
Right now I think my main priority should be figuring out if its possible to reset the unlock attempts counter (and/or finding other unlocking procedures to bypass the code/counter completely).
I think I just screwed myself even more, I took it to a shady place to see if its possible to get it unlocked, they did some weird voodoo crap which I think bricked by modem. (any attempts to get it into service mode shows a blank screen)
I tried reflashing everything and restoring an old EFS from long ago, but the baseband version in settings->about phone says Unknown, and it kept saying no SIM card even if I use my original SIM....
Did anyone encounter this before? how to fix this? do I need to get the hardware fixed? is Samsung likely to help?
Edit: I'm fairly sure they used and NsPro
You could probably just flash a new baseband and all will be well... Also the RIL needs to match the baseband as well for it to work and come up in about phone, so try downloading get RIL from the play store and see if it detects a non matching RIL (it needs to match the baseband) also it requires root

Hi, thanks for the response,
I downloaded getRIL and gave it superuser permission, and it said my device is unsupported.
Also, what do you mean flash a new baseband? I restored an nandroid backup all the way back from Janurary and that didn't store phone functionality.
Thanks,
Dang... That's a shame, It is probably because the nandroid doesn't backup the modem/baseband, by the fact that you made a nandroid I'm assuming you have a custom recovery?

You should be able to grab a complete Odin package over on samfirmware

It's a thing that came up in research that repairs IMEI damage (I think but I'm not sure), in any case I already tried flashing an entire stock ROM (multiple times, 4.1.2 and 4.1.1) through Odin, and it didn't work.
Have you tried different packages, from memory some don't include the baseband and bootloader and stuff like that (It's been a while since my Samsung captivate)

At this point if I bring it back to Wind (and by extension, Samsung) I think it's fairly obvious I voided my warranty, but if I pay (not sure how much though), would they be able to fix it?
I'm not sure sorry, because I bought my captivate off XDA and the time I bricked it I had to mail it to adam outler and get it made unbrickable
try downloading an ODIN package from samfirmware and flashing it, because the .zip packages you linked wouldnt flash the modem and RIL. Also GLW is Wind on samfirmware, so just search T889V and choose the newest GLW package, youll need to make an account to download it

I already tried that (if you mean http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/), and I think it's the exact same one as the teshxx download (factory image, exact same size and file name inside the zip, I haven't done an md5sum due to being on Windows),
I reflashed rooted injected stock ROM, did triangle away, and unrooted, and I'll bring it to Wind and see if they will fix it for me tomorrow.
Thanks for your help!
I think I'm actually having the same problems as this guy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195869
I also tried QPST, and got the same exception as him...
And by page 4 the 2nd post down, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195869&page=4 he took it to Samsung, and they did some software voodoo to bring it back to life... Fortunately there's a Samsung repair center in my city, and hopefully I'll have the same luck as he did (they aren't open tomorrow though).
One last thing before you do that (lucky you've got a repair centre!) this post says the efs is backed up when you install Cyanogenmod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30716302
So you might be able to recover it

When I restored the old backup (didn't work), I had the efs check box checked in TWRP, and I assume that efs should be in the stock ROM (that's how the OP of that thread did it)
i have Note 2 ATT, i am having network connection problem. i can't connect to my ATT network connection . i get circle with line in middle.
i took my phone to ATT store and they tried changing the Sim card and even updating my phone to the latest update, but it did not work.
i tried downgrading my phone to stock Rom when i downgrade the phone. it seems to work fine for five minutes or so i even made a call after one call it started showing same circle with line in middle. i tried flashing all different Rom, i even tried re flashing MJ4 modem. nothing seems to work.
i research to find a solution but i didn't find any solution to this problem. right now i am on Sky Note Air 4.3.
please help me i appreciate for any help.
EDIT: i flash back to stock Rom 4.3 with rooted MK6 bootloader. just to see if it makes any different on my networking problem. And still have issue with not networking data.

Try flashing 4.3 rom from scratch (wiping dalvik cache, data/factory reset and cache partition) ? May be this will help fixing problem
If you want you can try Stock Rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
Also make sure you have an APN set. @Bajanman has compiled a list of several AT&T APNs in his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172110
I had a similar issue and this post helped me.

Also check your SELinux setting.
Once I set mine to permissive all was well.

They are not hacking my friend...
Have you verified that your IMEI and EFS folder are normal ?
And have you verified your APN settings for your carrier ??
You mention flashing several roms on the device...
The items I listed will help you determine if any damage has been done....and also help you get service again...
All are knowledge you must have to prevent bad things from happening...
If your carrier did an official update to 4.3 while the device was rooted and running custom firmware....then you absolutely need to start fresh to clean the device up again...
Are you getting Knox errors or force close issues ??
Basically....in order to help you we need a detailed status of the device...
Software version....kernel version ....and baseband.....
The information is in settings/about phone/....and will tell us how best to proceed....g

Now you are 4.3 stock rooted ???

I'm still confused.....
Reading your first post, ATT flashed your phone to the latest update??? And changed the SIM? And that didn't work?
Why did you leave the store when your phone didn't work?
They told me they can't do nothing about it and the warranty was voided too.

Interesting. I'm asking questions I guess really dont matter.
But why was warranty voided, or was it expired?
Again more confusion.... Just wondering why they changed sim, flashed update, then told you to hit the street with a broke **** phone.
I can understand not replacing it, warranty whatever.
I took an Atrix2 phone into the shop, no working data. I had called tech support, they had OTA refreshed it, didnt work. Set me up with tier 2 tech support, more resets. Nothing.
Went into store, got another sim. Turns out it was simple. I had turned off the data plan awhile back until I was ready to give it to my daughter.
Got online, picked a plan. Data lite off.
Point is they worked with me to find the problem on a phone that was 2-3 years old.
You probably should follow me how to in this section and flash the stock 4.1.1 and go from there.

Well you have nothing to lose at this point then.
I doubt you will find a canned click next solution.
You will probably have to go the "hacking" route.
Good Luck.
