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.
and after unlock can we do factory update 4.1.2?

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.
FREE HOW TO UNLOCK SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2
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:
I have a Samsung S3 I747 device. It is running ANdriod Version 4.3, I747UCUEMJB.
I wanted to unlock this and was wondering if this is possible. I went through lot of threads on this forum, but that left me confused and could not figure out if it is possible or it is not possible, without calling AT&T or without buying the unlock code.
There were some threads which said that we can go back to 4.1.1 or something. (I have been able to unlock the other phone which is running 4.1.2 but for this I cannot go back).
I am a newbie with phones and andriods, and hence was looking for simple instructions if any available to lock this 4.3 andriod that I have.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Once on 4.3 or later the free unlock method will not work. Only getting a code from the carrier or buying one online will.
So my Galaxy S3 is rooted running AOKP. I have an unlock code from T-Mobile so I can unlock it and use an AT&T SIM card. When I enter the code after booting the device with the AT&T SIM in it, it says unlock unsuccessful.
Do I have to be unrooted & on stock to do this? Or maybe just on stock? Kind of annoying, any help is appreciated!
EDIT: So I figured it out myself. If anyone has this problem in the future, just flash a touchwiz based ROM then reboot and use the unlock code and it should work.
My playstore not working said. " cant initialize...."
I know the cause of this is the freedom. I used freedom when im in kitkat official. Im also rooted that time. Then i forgot to delete the "host" file before updating. Now my "at&t galaxy s4 is 5.0
1 official" can someone help me root this device pls. To fix this problem ? Or any fix/method to this problem without root ?
I also dont know what is lock and unlock bootloader, even how to check if i have lock or unlock bootloader. What does it mean if i have lock and unlock bootloader
Note: my galaxy s4 is at&t 5.0.1 not rooted.
My galaxy s4 at&t can read any sim card because its already factory unlocked.
ok trying to end up with a android 5.0 + on my att note 2.
Here's where im at : already went though the process of requesting unlock via at&t attempted unlock with no success
(unsure if i permanently sim locked to att or not) so now from what i have read i would have to downgrade from 4.2.2 kitkat to 4.1.1 to unlock via loophole? my problem is unable to find my modem/radio (I317UCSCNJ5) im new to this process but does that mean i cant downgrade? i cant seem to find much about nj5 in any of the stickys or the all in one shop any help or ideas would be much appreciated
