[Q] How to activate PERSO SHA256 OFF menu? - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello There.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini model GT-I9195 (rooted)
Android Version 4.2.2
Baseband Version I9195XXUBML4
Kernel Version 3.4.0-2340422 [email protected] #1
Does anyone knows how to activate PERSO SHA256 OFF on the sub menu Network Unlock? Because i can only access one option in this menu 1. PERSO SHA256 INFO .
No ON or OFF option.
Thanks

Some Useful Examples
Example-1: Removing SIM network lock
Code:
[SIZE=2]UMTS MAIN MENU[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][1] DEBUG SCREEN.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][6] PHONE CONTROL.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][6] NETWORK LOCK[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][3] PERSO SHA256 OFF[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Go Back to Main Menu[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]UMTS MAIN MENU[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][6] COMMON[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][6] NV REBUILD.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][4] Restore Back-up.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Reboot[/SIZE]
This has not been tested by me, since I don't use SIM locked providers.
So make sure you have a complete NANDroid backup of your phone in case something
goes wrong. I do not take any responsibility for damaged phone due to this procedure.
Please confirm if this method works for this phone.

Did you carefully read the entire other thread? Did you see that perhaps there are other "things" you need to do to get to certain menu items... You need to post more detailed info about your device as well. "getprop" and "uname -a" output for example.

Hi EVA yes i red the entire thread, and the "things" i did to try to get to certain menu items was.
1. Unblock the KeyString file with:
echo -n "OFF" > /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
2. Enable the carrier HiddenMenu file with:
echo -n "ON" >/efs/carrier/HiddenMenu
What do you thing i Should try next ?
Thank you

This is my getprop !

Hmm, no idea. Your device seem close to identical to mine, except for your being MEO. Did you try this with a different SIM? Is it rooted with SELinux "getenforce" set to Permissive?
Perhaps someone else can help.
I never buy locked phones, so I have no idea how to deal with those issues.
Perhaps connecting using QPST and remove lock. There are probably other easier to use tools out there, but they have some steep learning curve for non-developer or Android skilled people. Continue Google is my only good suggestion, or take it back to shop and say you're going abroad and need an unlocked SIM/phone whatever.
Good luck.

Thanks for the Help @E:V:A
Yes i tried withe a different SIM, still get the unlock code request. When i type sestatus commands i get nothing, but when i type Getenforce i get Enforcing. And i dont know how to change it to Permissive.
Is it easy to use QPST to unlock?
As for the shop they wanna charge me 80 Dollars to unlock...
Btw do you think if i change the MODEM i can unlock it? where is the information about locking sim is? on the firmware modem?
Google is my best friend but im getting out of options.
Thanks once more.

Did I lose my original IMEI while unlocking?

I unlocked using forever unlock v3 for galaxy nexus, which was supposed to keep my original IMEI, AND unlock forever.
But now I went to install momo a Chinese app, and it said I couldn't because I am not using my original IMEI below is what they said.
So is there anything I cna do here to restore original IMEI, or fool it somehow?
Thanks,

1、您现在使用的设备是不符合国家法律法规的山寨设备或者翻新设备
2、您通过刷机有意或无意修改了系统IMEI码
3、其他问题导致该设备没有合法的IMEI串号
详细情况可以联系您所使用设备的制造厂商,查询并尝试修改回原厂IMEI码。
•修改回出厂时合法唯一的IMEI码后便可正常使用陌陌。

Settings > About Phone > Status
Compare your IMEI there to what it says on the phone box to determine if your IMEI has indeed changed.
Edit: IMEI might also be under the battery IIRC.

I checked under my battery, and in fact yes my IMEI was changed...
So my IMEI was changed, to permanent unlock I used **** Docomo V3.1.
Is it at all possible to change my IMEI back??
I'm willing to return to a temporary unlock instead of permanent unlock if that is possible.
Temp sim unlock should cut it.
OK, how do I go about doing this? link?

Something to do with some grand theory stuff, not exactly sure of the thread name, but somewhere along that line.
Seriously! the guy is just asking for help mate!
dadroidda: There are few people, including me, having the same fault after updates in the last couple of months.
There is still NO method to fix it by flashing or software that I am aware of.
However, if you know a good mobile repair guy who'd have one of those "special" boxes, they can re-write your original imei from the box to the phone. Obviously, this would cost you money and it is illegal in some countries.
Hope this helps.

What did you do?!?!
Kidding...
This is a very common issue, and there is a thread in the development section on how to restore your imei.
please help
Hello,
Unfortunately, I'm having the same problem and have been unsuccessful at finding the right forum . After unrooting my Galaxy SGH-T999, I lost service "no service." I also have the circle with the line crossing it, only WiFi is working; Baseband version, Network, Mobile network type, as well as the IMEI appear as unkown. Please help me or re direct me with the link, I have tried everything and nothing.
It's actually not in our section. But with a simple Google search:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
Looks like I'll be adding this to the FAQ.
More help please
Thanks for the quick response; however, what is it that I need to do to get back service. Make a backup, restore, or inject imei? Also, i'm having trouble understanding the thread. Is it to much to ask for to give me a little guidance of what exactly is it that I have to do. I'll appreciated it a lot.

I'd ask about what you don't understand in the thread about restoring IMEI.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Well, to be honest I don't know where to even start.
1. I downloaded QPST program
2. AT&T and TMO Phones (or any variant thereof)... I don't know if this applies to my process.
Option1:Using the stock dialer dial *#7284#.... When I do that my phone says: Mobile network not available.
Option 2: Stock ROM w/ unsecured kernal flash this file by drothenberger and geek HERE!... lost there
Install QuickShortcutMaker... don't know where from
Open it and type IOT in the search box... don't know what that is.
Click on the entry that says IOTHiddenMenu / IOTHiddenMenu / com.android.hiddenmenu/com.android.hiddenmenu.IOTHiddenMenu
Click OK..... ???
3. The Following Steps Applies to all phones!
Put phone into RMNET + DM + MODEM mode... what do those abbreviation mean?
IMEI Injection:
If you have lost your IMEI and did not have a backup made this is how PureMotive and I were able to get his IMEI restored.
Open RF NV Item Manager from the bin folder found in Program Files folder/Qualcomm/QPST (RF NV Manager is no longer accessible from the
(open RF and NV?)
start menu or from inside QPST Configuration).
Click on Setting menu in RF NV Item Manager and select Comport.
Select your phone from the list of ports and click ok.
Go to File menu and select Read From Phone.
You will get a list of NV items and their values from your phone.
Look for item NV_UE_IMEI_I it will be item number 550 you can do a search for it using the search.
I'm so upset, disappointed, and mad at myself. I just bought this phone and I already broke it. I been trying to fix it all day and no luck. Please if anyone could make this pain for me. I don't understand the abbreviations or where it is that I need to start.
Thank you

If you're competent enough to root and flash a ROM, you're competent enough to follow Peoplearmy's guide to restoring your 4G. If not, then you you need to go back use Triangle Away to get rid of the flash counter and then Odin back to a factory TouchWiz ROM to erase your evidence of tampering with the phone.
Follow the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997. Just remember since people have been making this mistake, you're not done when you inject your IMEI.
-IMEI injection
-Backup
-Restore
Ok well don, I followed the entire guide, everything on post #3, and am still only getting 2g. When I do *#06# it shows me exactly the same imei # as on the back of my phone, and I repeated EVERYTHING in the post at least 3 times, and still only get 2g. I literally have no idea, I don't think the radio is bad haha, it happened with a flash.

"Invalid Sim" now what

Newbie here, I have my MSL number from sprint. I put my cricket wireless sim card in the note 4 and it states that its invalid.
I tried all the standard troubleshooting: Different sim, light cleaning, etc
Called Sprint and they tell me its unlocked and I shouldn't have any issues
looked up my mei on ting or some other website and it says it will work
Just rooted the other day with TWRP, installed busybox
I have done some digging and cant find out how to get my phone on cricket wireless.
A point in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hey if you want to try this, this should unlock your device? I came across this while researching code on my device. As my device is already unlocked, I did not proceed past my posted screenshots.
I'll pm you. If you want to verify it works. I'll make a thread about it.
Edit, also did you try to press uicc unlock in settings?
Thank you @aaron74. I tried all your suggestions but still stuck. I welcome any other ideas. You can PM me. Thanks in advance!

Ok sorry. That must just reset the device. Sorry i couldn't help.
Did you try that downgrade thread? If so and it didn't work then i would say that paying Idone app would be your best option. That's what i used years ago. I know it cost money but i can vouch that their service and support is great and they stay up to date.
Did you try gt tools?
I did, at least Marshmallow, for some reason I could not flash back to KitKat. Anyway, no worries, I think I am just going to sell it and buy a used GSM one. Thanks a bunch.

[Guide] How to get your MSL code

Alright so I was bored and started poking around trying to find a way to get the MSL. Well after a couple hours of trail and error, I got it! Here's how.
You will need: ADB, ADB Drivers, and a rooted device.
Plug your phone into your computer.
Run the following (in CMD) :
1: adb shell
2: su
3: am start com.sec.hiddenmenu/.Program_Edit
It should open a menu with your MSL at the bottom. Hope this helped!
I was able to find my MSL this way. I'm guessing this only works if you are rooted?
How To Find Your MSL Code
MOD EDIT: Post moved. Please do not create duplicate threads for the same topic in the forum.
Edit: yeah, I wasn't sure if it was 100% working. I made a new post after confirming.
Hey guys, I found a way to get the MSL code for your G920p to edit the DATA menu (##3282# in dialer)
Requirements:
* Rooted S6
* ADB Installed + Drivers
* USB Cable
Steps:
Open CMD / Terminal and run the following:
1. adb shell
2. su
3. am start com.sec.hiddenmenu/.Program_Edit
Scroll down to the bottom and you should see "Service Programming Code" this is your MSL.
I hope I helped! If I did, please press the thanks button! I took me awhile to find this! Let me know if you find anything else interesting in this menu.
Also, I wouldn't recommend playing around with the other settings unless you know what you are doing.
thanks,i find my msl using this method
Using idoneapps you can find your msl without rooting. Just downgrade to Lollipop and run the app. Price is roughly $20 to $30 for the app. No avoiding this price unless rooting and using the old idoneapps.

Sadly I can not go back to 5.1.1. samsung locked the bootloader and I am stuck on 6.0.1
Are you sure? I've downgraded mine to Lollipop from Marshmallow. There's certain updates that are locked because the binary level is lower than what's on your device. AOCF doesn't work. Just try the PD2 update.

Will do
The pd2 is for idoneapps you have to talk to the guy and pay him. He might settle for $25 $20.

If the app doesn't give you the msl, you can flash a lower firmware, I'll check which one I have that works and read the log of what the app did after it unlocks your phone. The msl, will more than likely be in the log.
Galaxy S6 Edge + and Note 5 was updated to Nougat. All we're waiting for is the edgeless version of the software to release. Maybe in another week..
what do I put here
Thanks, it worked for me after about three hours of trying to find my MSL or enable tethering, including rooting my phone in the first place. I made an XDA account just to thank you Also, it worked for me typing it in the Terminal emulator on the phone

Thank you so much! This worked like a charm! I am having difficulty getting my phone unlocked to work with T-Mobile. I have called Sprint to give my phone Domestic Sim Unlocking 2 days ago and I still get an invalid sim card error when I insert my Tmobile sim.

Call sprint about it. They are supposed to unlock your phone once your contract is up... Do you still have a sprint plan? Your phone needs to be activated in order to do this.

I finally got a hold of a very good sprint customer care this morning and she unlocked the phone right away and my tmobile sim is working. Although I need to research why I can't uninstall sprint call utility or voice mail. I have my phone rooted and using Skyhigh kernal for android nougat. I try dialing 611 to get to tmobile customer care and it reroutes me to sprint.

F.A.Q
Q. What if my IMEI is bad or blacklisted?
A. There are a few times of blacklist... T-Mobile seems to block INTERNAL only if non payment. Others will block if non payment or lost/stolen.
This does not effect SIM unlock, I can do it regardless.... However, you WILL NOT GET NETWORK SIGNAL IF BLOCKED
Check here for T-mobile https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx and also here for all models http://imei24.com/blacklist_check/
If you are not sure ask first!
Q. Can you change/repair my IMEI?
A. HELL NO. This is not only against XDA Rules but it is illegal in most countries, including mine.
Q. Is this really free?
A. Yes, although I do hope for a donation for my time and effort
Q. When are you available?
A. See below.
Q. Can we get on with it all ready?
A. Yes!

If the above asks for MSL or doesn’t work then try:

You will need a Windows PC for the software. Please ensure you have Windows 7 or newer

Unlocking Process
When you have contacted me and I have replied that we are ready you may proceed to:
Open flexihub and log in to your account
DO NOT SEND COM PORT. THIS IS USELESS TO ME ALONE
If needed click 'UNLOCK' on the phone's driver so it can be accessed (i.e Samsung_Android OR Gadget_Serial OR MSMxxxx)
Right click on your phone's driver in flexihub(i.e Samsung_Android OR Gadget_Serial OR MSMxxxx) and click send invite.
Type in [email protected] and click OK.
I will connect to the device and proceed from there.
Please watch phone for USB Authorization prompt.
Check the box then press OK.
I will disconnect and reconnect as required (using FlexiHub).
Watch phone Screen for SU (ROOT) prompt and press GRANT.
All you need to do is watch the phone for USB Authorization and ROOT grant.
Please follow the instructions I send via Google Hangouts
After we are finished you can return your device settings to as they were and you can remove FlexiHub from PC.
Please kindly donate via PayPal to [email protected] (once again 100% optional)
I appreciate the unlock you did for me over a year ago, and i personally think its awesome that youre putting this out there for folks to get their phones unlocked mate!! Very nice work sir. Keep it up!! Question for ya tho, the process to unlock something like an S5, it requires a piece of hardware that youre using on your end, correct?

S5 T-Mobile? No idea. I think it's Qualcomm based and all the hardware unlocks are only for Exynos T-Mobile. Hence no support for S7/S8 T-Mobile too
Successfully unlocked my T-mobile s6 edge after i tried for days. Worked like a charm. I love this guy. I offered him sex but he politely declined. Pay this guy for his time!
Edit: Paid! sorry it took 6 hours. errands. and no it was not demanded. donated.

.can you help me unlock s6. From boost. I got hit by a truck and my phone broke. I don't trust people online. But xda always. Boost to mobile. ? Please. Lmk
Hey guys, I just noticed in his original post stifilz mentions there not being a direct unlock for the s7 frmo tmobile but there is a service that does instant usb unlocks on T-Mobile S7 and edge variants. Unfortunately its a paid service and expensive but i have used and know for a fact it works and isnt a server side unlock. If you guys want info just inbox me. I dont want to hijack stifilz thread much other than to say there are definitely hardware/usb unlocks available for T-Mobile S7 variants (ATT and it's S7 active too)
Still offering this guys
This guy is great. It was a struggle because my system was antiquated and my internet is slow, but he managed to GSM unlock my SM-G900P Galaxy S5. I sent a donation.
Im still doing this been very few at the moment :/
Directions Unclear. I've created a black hole, and we're all screwed.
Forgive me, if I'm being particularly dense, but I'm a little unclear about this whole process. Is this Flexihub business mission critical? Or is it just one of the available options. The reason I'm asking is that I can't easily get access to a PC. Is this a deal breaker, or is an alternative available? As far as I can determine, access to a PC is the only qualification that I'm lacking.
Thanks for the effort you must be putting into providing such a generous service

Right... So that means that a PC shouldn't be required on the other end, right? Since it's the mobile device you'd ostensibly be tinkering with?

Okay, I've done some further reading. It makes sense. Guess I'll just have to surilvive without unlocking.
I'm having a problem, in the settings of my s6 edge the phone model is sm-g925f but the baseband is G925TUVU4 it means the phone is a t-mobile phone and now I want to flash the latest nougat firmware of t-mobile and I want to know if I do so will it lock my phone and I won't be able to use another sim card?
Available
Hey, Are you available still?
Bump.
Still doing this.
Few changes made to thread for clarity,
Mainly........
