Unlock Code From AT&T Not Working - What Can I Do? [HELP]

I was given the unlock code and it still says request to unlock network unsuccessful, it's eligible to be unlocked...
All help would be greatly appreciated.

Should I try flashing over back to this stock rom and then see: http://server10.stockroms.net/download/GalaxyNote2/SGH-I317/I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_ATT.zip
I hate being stuck in a rut like this, already had my account transfered to a T-Mobile microsim. This is driving me nuts...
The person I bought this phone from said they updated but then when I checked it was still at 4.1.2 and said something about update interrupted...

Or which of these should I use: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=71

Flashing a Rom won't unlocknyour phone..... Also what do you mean your still on 4.1.2?? That is the latest Rom for the phone. ... Where are you obtaining your unlock code from? The only time att provides it themselves is over the phone. You sure your not getting the wrong code?

Yes I got the code from AT&T over the phone, called them twice and got the same code 1-800-331-0500 they gave me 41907314... According to this: http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unlock-sim-for-free-on-gsm-galaxy-note-2/ if ya take the newest update, ya can't sim unlock the phone cause it takes out the “NW Lock NV Data Initiallize” (Step #9) according to YouTube user comments...
THIS IS WHY I'm wondering what Stock firmware I need to downgrade back to in order to get that option again and be able to sim unlock my phone.
So I'm wondering if it's I317UCALJ2 or I317UCALK7 that re-enables that option for me. Right now I'm on I317UCAMA4...

Sorry bout the 2 posts, I thought it'd auto-append them to my main post...

Okay now I keep getting errors on installing about a signature and then two file locations sdCard0 and I think extsdCard...
How can I fix this do I copy the image to sdCard (InnerSD)? Or do I need CWM to install for Scott's Stock ROMs?

Yup that worked, I had to use Odin and this image http://server10.stockroms.net/download/GalaxyNote2/SGH-I317/I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_ATT.zip and followed these instructions on installing it: http://androidromupdate.com/2012/11...y-note-2-sgh-i317-original-factory-stock-rom/ then unlocked it with the directions galaxynote2root.com had listed...

I am having the same issue, I got unlock code from ATT but it says network unlock request unsuccessful.
so if I follow above instruction to go back to 4.1.1 I will be able to use the unlock code right?
can you please give me few steps which you used for unlocking... then unlocked it with the directions galaxynote2root.com had listed.<--I dont find it.
I will try to flash it.

Yea after all that it's safe to upgrade back to 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 or nearly any compatible rom you like.

No I mean while doing this process? Odin thing.. does it matter which SIM I have to keep in note

This http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unlock-sim-for-free-on-gsm-galaxy-note-2/ is the tute I believe, gotta remember it's been 2 months since I did this, so I'm not quite 100% certain. LoL
I'll be having to do it all over again too, by the end of this week possibly, since some jerk decided to steal my note 2 I had to go to ebay and win a new one.
I don't think it'd matter during the Odin flash with a AT&T sim card or T-Mobile one in it, I can't remember if I did it with or without a sim card, but to be on the safe side I'd do it without a T-Mobile sim card in it, just for that first successful boot... Then do the 4.1.1 unlock code method, take the back and battery off then pop in the T-Mobile sim card(Or whatever other non-AT&T carrier sim card) and see if it done it correctly...

I bought an AT&T live demo note 2 that was used in an AT&T store. I used this method from youtube, popped in my niece's T-Mobile microsd and dialed 611. T-Mobile's customer service rang and answered showing it worked. You need 4.1.1 to use this method though. I'm going get me a microsim today since my vibrant doesn't use the micro.

You do not really need the unlock code. Do a search in the forum as you cam just unlock it with Samsung' service menu.

The above is not true - if your phone has upgraded firmware, you will NOT see the item "NW LOCK NV RAM...." in your "NETWORK LOCK" "PHONE CONTROL" menu.
So, the ONLY two solutions are:
1) keep bugging ATT to create a case for you and investigate
2) downgrade to 4.1.1 modem (NEED TO READ/UNDERSTAND HOW TO FLASH etc.)
then apply the Samsung service menu "fix" as shown in the above video...*
*Then, you could upgrade to newer ROM... if you wish....:cyclops:

[Q] Unlock Samsung S3 SGH-i747M (possible???)

Hello everybody
I have a Samsung S3 SGH-i747M (from Canada) with 4.4.2 and version I747MVLUFNE6 which is locked. It asks for "SIM network unlock PIN".
Is there any way (I don't care for the warranty) to make it work with an other SIM? I am currently in Switzerland.
Thank you very much in advance!

No you'll have to either call the original carrier of the phone and request the code or pay for the unlock code.

Do you know a reliable site where I can ask for the code?

There's lots of them out there. Pretty sure eBay has some and you can judge by their feedback and ratings...can't think of any specific ones right now though.

The problem is that I don't know at which carrier belonged the phone and one page that I found,that doesn't require the carrier and I think read that is reliable (swiftunlock.com), does not include the i747m in the list.
Any ideas or any other sites?

Any that offer it for the I747M should work. Don't take my word for it though. Ask the vendor first.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

All the sites that i found ask for the carrier which I don't know or to have the phone rooted and have a version lower than 4.1.1 which I don't .
Is there any way to find out at which carrier it belonged?
Or any other reliable solution?
Please... :crying:

Go yo swappa.com and check the imei. I think it shows the original carrier when it does the check.

That maybe true.....but I do know it doesn't work with ICS or JB 4.1.2 because [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ does not show in menu.

Once you are on the 4.3 ot 4.4.2 bootloader, you cannot downgrade the bootloader and the 4.1.1 modem will not work on the 4.3 or 4.4.2 bootloader.
You must be on at least the 4.1.1 dialler and modem.

damnit, just saw this. Is there any way to downgrade to unlock the SIM? What about if im on a different ROM?

There is no free way to sim unlock your phone once you have the 4.3 or 4.4.2 bootloader on your phone.

How to know on which bootloader ( bootloader 4.4.2 or 4.3) I am coz I was able to install a custom rom on my SGH-I747M The rom is dirty unicorn android 5.1.1 lolipop rom so Can I downgrade coz if I remember correctly I upgraded from stock 4.1.1 so can I downgrade to stock 4.1.1 by downloading and injecting it via odin is it possible or will it hard brick my phone and can you give me way to confirm what bootloader I have ???

Boot into download mode and look at the screen. If you see anything about knox, it likely the bootloader can't be downgraded to 4.1.1.

Can you guide me that how to know which bootloader do you have i.e. do I have a 4.3 or 4.4.2 bootloader how would I know that? and also I do have a custom dirtyunicorn rom with 5.1.1 so is it possible for me to flash the 4.1.1 stock SGH-I747M rom to it and then unlock it and then again add my current rom and use it???

Download and install the Samsung phone info app from the play store, run it, and look at the last three characters of the bootloader. If it is mk3 or higher, the bootloader can't be downgraded.

Not quite sure where to put this but I have just successfully sim unlocked a samsung galaxy s3 sgh-i747m on 4.4.2 .This is only prelimary but upon unlocking and inserting a Public Mobile sim I was able to text on a Canadian Rogers S3. No further testing has been done. I first rooted the phone using Kingoroot and then downloaded the phoneinfo app from play store. I then used the app to get to service menu.At first service menu is blank but I used menu ,then key input Q, then back, then key input 0000,then back and then service menu appears. Now I am doing this from memory and no longer have the phone or another one at the moment to confirm this and will update this as soon as I can. But to the best of my knowledge I first went to UMTS(1) ,thenDEBUG(1), then Phone Control(?), then Network Lock.. Perso-SHA256 was on(1) I set it to off (0). I then backed out of the menu and shut down phone.I inserted PM SIM in phone and booted up .Phone didnt ask for unlock code and shortly I had texting service with Public Mobile. I dont have voice or data to check those but cant seewhy they wouldnt work. Anyway can someone confirm this working.My steps may not be exact but if it worked for me it should work for others.

[Q] can I unlock a galaxy s6 edge of t-mobile?

Hello guys,
I bought an galaxy s6 edge in USA of Craigslist
And the guy that sold me told me it is locked but he give me a code to unlock
He paid for the code on the site fishblowunlock
So in the next day I back to brazil and tried to unlock the phone with the code
But it don't work...
Have another way to unlock this?
Thank you and sorry about my bad English

not now
Not now my friend, I think that any developer try to do that.
I found a lot information about this, basics T-Mobile put a block for unlock the phone only with his apk.
In the HTC M9 a solution was flash with a ROM and phone ask about the code and put the code buy for Internet same in Sony Z3 but with the G925T its more difficult.
A solution for the T-Mobile galaxy s6 was install a stock ROM for metro PCs but don't exists for galaxy s6 edge.
I try to install a diferents rom with twrp and always its the same, the phone ask for code but the code is not correct.
The code I bought in eBay. In the stock T-Mobile ROM the phone dont ask for code but I put #xxxxx*637*# and the phone ask for code if the phone is with out Sim card the phone accept the code but when put the Sim card nothing happens but if the phone e is with Sim card the code is not accep.
I think the problem its with the baseband, because always when I flash the phone the baseband don't change, its the T-Mobile baseband.
Maybe some developer need any motivation to do that..

Do you believe??,, its a big topic, a lot of people search about this, one solution and don't comments???

cellunlocker omits a few steps, like s6 edge drivers, or debug mode, did you try the flash following that steps too?, can you flash a "custom rom"?, or the problem is always the same, the error message on odin ? no matter what rom do you use ?

if that doesnt work then we need to wait the s6 edge firmware.

Xfinity Mobile Note 8

Anyone have it? Anyone have any idea if it's the same version as Verizon? It's my understanding it's just the unlocked version. Open to flash any of the Qualcomm builds. But it runs Verizons network. Really just looking for any info anyone has on it.
Another thread about it got closed, but this is being posted in Q&A so this should not be closed.

i am working on trying to figure out which firmware can be flashed. and you need a unlock code for the sim lock

The Xfinity Mobile Samsung Note 8 (SM-N950U) is basically the same as the verizon branded phone. This means the bootloader is locked and will likely never be unlocked. This means you won't be able to install TWRP or load any of those custom roms
---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------
You should be able to root it using the SamFail method but unfortunately there are restrictions
For example Magisk not working and it will fail safety net check.

Anyone with Xfinity Mobile who might be curious about doing this, I have successfully obtained root using SAMFAIL method... Follow his instructions exactly as written! When the device restarts after the second part of this tutorial you might end up with a blue screen that restarts the phone and flashes blue over and over, what I did next was I downloaded this firmware http://updato.com/firmware-archive-s...3AFA163EE8F90B and flashed the Home CSC file alone using the normal version of Odin 3.12.7 that is included in his post (with the Comsy version that was used in the first two parts). My phone came with original firmware so just a heads up. After flashing Home CSC, phone booted normally and SuperSU worked. Make sure you give everyone in that post credit for the amazing work with bringing us an option for root in such a short amount of time! If you have any questions please let me know and I'll help you as best as I can.

Also curious about this. I'm looking at buying a used Xfinity Note 8, but am curious if it's carrier unlocked or not. Seller says it is paid off and he was using it on ATT without any issues. I know I can flash T-Mo or Unlocked firmware on it.

If seller paid it off and has entered the 2 unlock keys from xfinity you should have no problem. Mine works great on Verizon

When info look at it, I'll pop in my T-Mo SIM and see what happens. If it's locked, I'm guessing I'll get the pop-up window to enter the unlock code.

Thats exactly what happens. If it's still asking for an unlock code. Make sure both were entered from xfinity. Don't let the seller tell you otherwise.

Anyone have it? Anyone have any idea if it's the same version as Verizon? It's my understanding it's just the unlocked version. Open to flash any of the Qualcomm builds. But it runs Verizons network. Really just looking for any info anyone has on it.
Another thread about it got closed, but this is being posted in Q&A so this should not be closed.

It is the unlocked model, but it's also sim locked to xfinity. I use it constantly. It only comes with about 5 apps from xfinity and no other bloatware.

The phone is carrier unlocked but Xfinity has it SIM locked to their SIM. If you send them a message or call them however, they will email you a unlock code within 3 days. I have a few phones with them and this is what I did, they are all SIM unlocked now

Man this phone is so good without root I can't imagine rooting it. Between Samsung Themes, and Substratum my phone is totally themed out.

Using xfinity note 8 with oreo full version want too downgrade back too nougate.
Hello everyone first thank you for reading and commenting on my post.
I have a xfinity mobile devicè that originally came with nougate 7.1.1 and I flashed it by sd card flash. I have a few bugs like 1. Security notification that keeps popping up all the time.
2. When watching you tube after a while the app get stuck and usually just have too restart and then works fine till the next time.
3. I cant send messages with pictures or videos thru stock messaging app from samsung. I can send text thru samsung message app. So I downloaded the Verizon message app and it works fine using that app because xfinity uses Verizon for carrier service LTE.
I am wondering first what is the exact correct firmware for xfinity mobile on note 8.?? Where can I get it from?
( I know the original firmware had a "j" in it) for nougate 7.1.1
If I cant fue the bugs on oreo 8.0 full version "please tell me how? Then...Next thing is I have oreo 8.0 with samsung experience 9.0 can I and how do I downgrade back to nougate correctly but I tryed and was unsuccessful. I tryed downloading a firmware off the internet and storing it and renaming it on sd card so I can flash it while in dfu mode. But it didnt work.
So bottom line is if I can just fix those bugs and stay on full version oreo 8.0 then please tell me how?
Otherwise please tell me how and where I can achieve downloading the exact firmware build for my phone and the samsung experience 8.0.? I need too know if its possible and where too get everything from and instructions how? Thank you all my XDA friends

Xfinity Boot Screen After Unlock
I have a Xfinity Note 8. I paid to have it unlocked so I could sell it easier. I have flashed many S8, S8+ but no Note 8 or Xfinity. Typically after an unlock, with a new SIM it would carrier flash after reboot. This one does not. I used my sons Verizon SIM no problem but it still had the Xfinity splash screen and apps. Could I resolve this through flashing with oden? I’m afraid to try since this is the first Xfinity phone I’ve come across. Any help or tips is appreciated!

You would have to reflash the Note 8 with the carrier unlocked firmware. The one you would buy from Samsung where there would be no carrier branding you would get the firmware from XDA Developers and they would provide guys in tutorials and how to flash the non carrier-branded firmware to the Note 8

Using Samfirm, what region would I enter? OR, If I download from SamMobile, should I just use the USA version. I see mine SM-N950USQ3BRA6 listed as (Unknown).
I would like the phone to carrier flash with each SIM so they buyer won't be intimidated. With the other phones if done this with, usually other S8, S8+, I haven't had to do it but twice for AT&T S8's. For some reason those in particular will sometimes not recognize the SIM even after unlocking and flashing through SamFirm and Oden has done the trick. I'm sort of a newb. I used to flash ROMS years ago but recently find myself buying and selling for profit. Thanks for your help!!
I'll try later and post my results.

I've been trying to unlock my note 4 ton sprint for quite a while now and I'm practically out of ideas. I stumbled across this thread and was hoping you could help me out. I unrooted my note to try and get it working on crickets network, but, despite having the malt code from sprint I have no idea how to get it working. I tried a paid unlocking service but got an error message that they couldn't unlock CDMA phones. If you could help me out I'd really appreciate it, I know this thread is pretty old at this point but, like I said, I'm at a loss here.
