Hi guys,
I'm new on this forum as I'm new in the Android world. I bought a Optimus G a week ago and tried to root it without really knowing how to by following this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125998 and that one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181103.
Everything was alright until I put cwm6027touch_v14.4.6_geebus.zip in my main directory. After this, I just turned off my phone and wanted to reboot it but it's now stuck on the LG logo.
I tried to:
hold Vol- and Power: nothing.
hold Vol+ and Power: nothing
hold Vol+, Vol- and Power: nothing
hold Power for 30 seconds then let the phone sit for few minutes: nothing.
I really don't know what to do. :crying:
Thank you very much and have a nice day !
I had the same problem solved it with this thread

To get into download modus press power button 12 seks then release. Then plug in the usb cabel into your phone.
Press vol + & - and hold, then plug in the other end of the usb cabel into your computer.
Then follow the other thread.

Hi!
Still waiting for your answer
I have a G3 model d850pr from Claro PR. I want to check or if any one knows if it comes with locked bootloader or not.
same boat!
Aparently is factory unlock (carrier) theres one on ebay and they says its an international version... I have the original kdz from claro if you need it. i flash it and works flawless.
So the bootloader is unlocked or it is factory sim unlocked? Didnt understand right.
sim unlocked.
Oh ok, do you know if bootloader is unlocked?
don't know.
Its locked, only the tmo version isnt.
Sucks doesnt it.

Well says there 850 not 850pr dont know if they are the same. I say this because our g2 used to be d801 same as tmo version but in reality it was a d803 masked as a d801.

Jummm tempting but i will pass.
The problem was resolved after flashing stock, reunlock, then restore. I will report if problems comeback.
Hello,
My phone was unlocked (not sure how, bought it second hand years ago) and used it fine on 4.4 custom rom. Ive updated it onthursday to the revolution 6.0.1 (with 3.0.2 twrp, nano open gappsa) and used it fine without problems on thursday.
However, yesterday, it lost cell signal and would not reconnect. So i rebooted the phone and now it is asking me to put sim unlock pin. What is the best course of action to get unlocked 6.0.1? I couldn't find an unlock method for 6.0.1. Should i backup rom, go back to 4.4, unlock, then restore?
Thank you.
It's asking for the sim pin or network unlock pin?

SIM Network unlock pin. My modem/bootloader is I317MVLBMA3. Do you think i can safely load a 4.1.1 rom and unlock again?
If i install phone info+ and look under secret codes, it does list the code for unlocking, but if i click on it, it gives me a blank page titled "service mode" but doesn't do anything (none of the three methods of entering work under the app). Probably because it is not stock ROM?
I tried searching for stock I317MVLALJ2 ROM to downgrade easily, but it seems like the link is down. I guess ill have to use ODIN.
EDIT:
Can I use TWRP to flash http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyNote2/SGH-I317M/I317MVLALJ2_I317MOYAALJ2_RWC.zip stock ROM? Or do I have to use ODIN? I am assuming I can as it is a zip rather than img, and as long as I flash recovery right after flashing rom, I shouldn't lose recovery either?
Thank you.
The easiest way would be to flash a stock 4.1.1 rom in Odin. I am fairly certain you can downgrade as I think I downgraded from 4.3 or 4.4.2 on a Koodo note 2 so I could use it on Rogers. If it's not possible to downgrade, Odin will stop.

Thank you for the reply. I am currently on 6.0.1, but since modem is 4.4.2 ish, i hope that's okay. I will try ODIN. The zip i mentioned above is not a TWRP flashable zip, so I guess I have to use ODIN. The thing that worries me, though, is the fact that I cannot get to the recovery mode from off. I press and hold the volume up-power- home combo, but it keeps on resetting without entering TWRP. The only way for me to enter recovery right now is using a custom rom restart menu. If I go to stock ROM, I won't be able to access the recovery .
EDIT: If I let go of the power button at a certain time while booting, it seems to go into recovery just fine.. The problem is, that timing is tricky.
For flashing a stock rom, you need download mode so don't worry about getting into recovery.
To enter stock recovery, power off and try holding power, volume up, and home. Once the phone boots, let go of power but keep holding home and volume up until you see the dead android, then let go of all buttons.

Thank you. Flashed stock using ODIN, rebooted, showed samsung logo with music (stock boot animation), then the phone is stuck on SAMSUNG logo changing colors. Stuck there for the last 10 minutes... Not sure where to go from here ..
Boot into recovery and do a factory wipe.

Success. Thank you very much. So I've done the factory reset and successfully rebooted the phone. Then applied the unlock method, which seemed to have worked. Does not ask for SIM unlock pin. However, it does not seem to actually lock cellular signal. It still says 'Emergency Calls Only'. I am on Mobilicity, which used to be AWS, but now I believe is under Rogers. I know mobilicity used to take a while to connect, but I doubt that is the same now. This may be due to the old modem, so I will try updating the modem back to the 4.4 one... wish me luck
EDIT:
Without the modem update, it just connected to mobilicity !
Now the issue is, whether this phone will re-lock again once I flash 6.0.1...
Thank you very much audit13 for your live help!!
I will post back in a week or so (hopefully I remember...) whether this unlock sticks.
The 317m does not natively support was frequencies. You'll have to software enable was support.
You mean it doesn't ask for network unlock pin?

Yup. It unlocked for sure. But that is no different than what I had before updating to 6.0.1. I've used the phone without problems on Mobilicity for 2-3 years.
Mobilicity is no longer AWS, so it has no problems connecting to the network. It just takes a while, especially with the 4.1.1 modem...
Now I'm just restoring the TWRP backup that I have made on 6.0.1 to see if the unlock sticks.
The unlock stayed for my phone when I installed a custom rom.

Yes, that was the case yesterday as well. It stuck for a day, but after the cell lost the signal once (zero bars, emergency calls only), the phone got re-locked.
Now that I have restored the 6.0.1 backup, the phone is back up and running with it unlocked. Now ill will see how long this lasts.
Thank you very much for your continued support
I am having this issue now.. but the strange thing is that I've flashed to the Resurrection 6.0 rom a while back and it was working fine. Until a while ago I was pokemon hunting and all of a sudden my network died and its been asking me for a sim network pin... I was getting the intermittent network disconnect when I was on the Pokemon go app too long but it would reconnect back to the network after a short time.. not sure if it has something to do with the game app. Well, now I've downloaded the latest Resurrection rom and flashed it again doing a factory wipe but still nothing. I'm going to try and flash the modem and see if that helps.
EDIT: forgot to mention I'm on Koodo network which is also Telus, I believe. But now it wants to automatically connect to the rogers network hence I'm assuming its asking for the PIN.
(edited for grammar)
This is really strange that this happens. I've unlocked a few note 2 phones and none of them have relocked.
Did you change the csc in the phone settings to Koodo?

do you know why I cannot do the universal unlock method by entering the *#197328640# method? when I enter those digits nothing happens..
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the newest Resurrection rom did not work so I tried DNA 4.4 rom and still asking for unlock pin.. damn. need a new phone it seems..
I believe you need to be running a particular version of the stock Samsung dialler.

What's the csc you mentioned?
Csc is a carrier customization file. If you change the csc, which can be done using a stock rom, you can choose the carrier for whom the rom phone was intended. I choose Telus as a carrier because they have very little bloatware.

I'm using this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541860
which is a modded stock rom I believe but I don't know how to edit the csc file.
So roughly following this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s20-fe/how-to/t-mobile-firmware-conversion-to-unlocked-t4172347
Thought I'd try it on my At&t branded device, and give a little walkthrough.
1. Make sure you have Samsung drivers installed https://www.samsung.com/us/business/support/owners/product/galaxy-s20-fe-5g-unlocked/
2. I had to use a patched version of Odin 3.14.1 linked here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
3. The firmware I went with https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G781U1/ATT/G781U1UEU1ATIG
4. Unzip all files
5. Boot Samsung phone in Download Mode (hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons / hold Volume Down + Bixby buttons then plug-in cable) or adb reboot download
6. Open Odin (dismiss any warnings at your own risk) add BL,AP,CP, and I used Home CSC (does not wipe user data) in the CSC slot (can use regular CSC if you want a full wipe)
7. Run, should auto reboot, and enjoy less At&t junk
Model number before was SM-G781U
Model number after is SM-G781U1/DS
Build number before was G781USQU1ATI9
Build number now is G781U1UEU1ATIG
Have not tested At&t wifi calling because I don't use it, but I've read that it doesn't work
Also OEM unlock is still not under dev options
Great [emoji106]. FYI, for people that wonder if firmware flashing will unlocked network carriers then no.

I guess the question is, why flash unlocked model if no OEM Unlock is available and you lose features from the carrier?

I always buy Samsung unlocked device, but since T-mobile offered a great discount I go with them. Since I have T-mobile unlocked my phone I go with unlocked firmware.

In just got the T-Mo variant this morning. I went ahead and did a data transfer with Switch to maintain setup, from an A71 5G. Then converted the locked TMo from G781USQU1ATL2 to: G781U1UES1ATL3 (unlocked)
Will this wipe your data?

Not if you use Home CSC. Regular CSC will.
I tried your method it didn't work for me. Also tried to remove the OEM lock without any luck.
Do you have any suggestions? note that i'm living outside USA.
