Is it possible to enter service mode on retail Verizon Note 4?
I see how you can enter it on the other variants but it appears like the Verizon one is locked. Issue I am having is I want to change the resolution my phone displays on my MHL adapter for my car stereo. From my research the only way to do that is to access the service menu. Any help would be great. Thank you

hi to all, recently i buyed a chinesse GN2 with dual sim everything was fine, i insert my sim card and i don't have network, ok no problem say to me, maybe i can turn on the wi-fi, well the phone freeze when i turn on the wi-fi, i had to remove the battery no response for any button, i try to backup my rom but something go bad and i lose my chinesse Galaxy, i can't enter into a factory default or recovery mode, the phone only show samsung screen then boot again...so it's a boot loop.
any help?
This forum is for the International Note 2 version (N7100) only. Other than that, these chinese phones have very less or no guarantee of either software or hardware. You'd be better off if u sell it and buy an international version of the note 2. Possible solutions are to keep looking and find a solution on a chinese websites (my friend looked for roms on many of them for his chinese note 1), or contact the seller for the faulty device...

Hey this just happened overnight, it just turned off and when i woke up it was on the loading screen where it says "Samsung Galaxy Note II". Its been on this screen ever since and i tried taking out the battery, sim card everything. Im with rogers and i called them and they said it was pooched but i thought id ask you guys if you could help at all. It would cost a chunk of change to send it in for repairs or just upgrade my phone. Thnaks!
In order to enter recovery mode, you will first have to turn off your device. Once it’s turned off, press volume up + power button + home button simultaneously and keep them pressed until you see the recovery mode.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you haven't already, try booting in recovery mode, you might need to let go of the buttons after a second or two for the boot to continue. (It's been a while since I've had to do it this way, and I can't turn my phone off to try at the moment.) If that works, try a factory reset, i.e. clear user data.
If the above doesn't work, the hardware could be at fault. Am I right to assume you haven't modified the phone in any way?
Depending on what Rogers quotes you for a repair, you could get another Note 2 off classifieds (be careful with provenance as you wouldn't want a blacklisted device) or get a new one from Koodo (a Telus subsidiary) who sells them for 300$, unlock it (free from here, cheap from third party vendors, expensive from the carriers) and be on your way. (If you want your Rogers apps back, there's a code on here to change your Carrier Specific Content code from KDO to RWC, this will clear your data so do it early on.)
One last thing: the Rogers/Bell/Telus Galaxy Note II is the SGH-I317M, which shares the AT&T Note II forum, not this one.
Good luck,

I just picked up a Samsung S6 Edge 925V and I am starting to think this phone is completely useless here. I have a SIM chip from Telcel in Mexico. I popped in the chip expecting a screen to enter an unlock code but instead I have the message "SIM card is not from Verizon" and not LTE signal. I thought that I would be able to install SM-925I but I"ve been reading that is not possible.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
Verizon Note 5 has a locked bootloader..you cannot flash anything other than stock Verizon firmware on it. As for unlocking for use on other networks, you need to either contact Verizon or look for a reliable online unlocking service

Each time I run though looking for more clues as to how to remove the network lock on my Sprint Galaxy S6 (SM-G920P) I come across this thread.

However, the first post has been removed due to the poster promoting paid services.
I am interesting in finding out what was in that post, other than the paid service. I've been digging for days and I'm stuck. I'd really like to be able to use my S6 but it's stuck on the Sprint network. My post-pay plan is on Verizon. I tried contacting Sprint but since I don't have the account details where it was activated previously, they refuse to unlock it for me. I tried paying a service $6 to unlock it but they never responded. I can't afford one of the services that's $40, I'm between jobs.
Does anyone know what was in that thread before? Or can point me in the direction of a solution? I have no problems dealing with the technical side if I have a tiny bit of guidance. It would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
If you're no longer under contract and have paid off your phone. Just call sprint to unlock your phone. They have to because it's the law.
The thread I was speaking of didn't include any technical information as I had anticipated. Perhaps at one point but not when it was removed.
Swaydude, thanks for the info. I'll contact Sprint again. Everywhere I've looked says the IMEI is clean. The phone wasn't mine originally. I got it from my sister when she got her S7 a while back. She doesn't remember her account information. Apparently it was originally setup through a boyfriend but she'd been paying it for the last year or so. I'm not sure. She's all over the place sometimes.
You can try a number of things. If you want to switch to Verizon, you need a Verizon compatible imei. You'll need to lie to them over the phone. It's best to just get the service setup on somebody's Verizon phone, then switch the SIM cards out. (Give them back theirs and install the one you setup in your own phone.) First you'll need to unlock your phone..if you're rooting then you need idoneapps 3.15 & 3.18. There's a lot of fake versions around the internet being shared, if you pm me I'll send you the real ones. There's also cheap services on eBay that allow remote access to your computer's usb ports. People can change your imei using these but you're not likely going to get an imei that's compatible with Sprint or Verizon from those services. It's important to understand the value your original imei carries because it's worth $60 and will work with all the service providers. Changing means there's no possible way to get it back without sending your phone to Samsung and that's a really unreliable place to expect repairs after you've rooted. To avoid this you should install the latest 5.1.1 update and pay for the new idoneapps. It works without root, and can unlock your phone without worries. The issue with this is getting your new apns to save properly. You might need to reboot for them to show up after you save them, sometimes it takes 2 or 3 times.. Or enter ##DATA## on your dialer, press tap on edit data profile, enter your msl code and then manually edit your apns from the profile menu. You'll need to download and flash the update from Odin and run the app with the imei package, it show do all the work for you apart from using Odin to downgrade. Also note that downgrading isn't that easy since the update binary level has to match the device level on specific partitions. This is why I suggest the latest 5.1.1 update from Sprint, because the app doesn't provide your msl on the newer updates without root.
You can use Z3X Samsung Tool Pro 27.2 or above. Just install it, select your phone model and you will see further instructions there itself. Just Google for the cracked/paid version.*If you get 'unlocking.... error.', you might need to flash old modem first.
I have an unlocked UK z fold 2 now on ATT that I am trying to pair with a galaxy watch 3 I bought from ATT and use numbersync. I can’t get the numbersync menu on the watch after pairing. I have searched all over and can’t find any instructions on how to do this. This only seems to be a problem with a Samsung phone and a Samsung watch. If I pair the watch with my new unlocked and razr 5g, the numbersync menu shows up in the watch under connections. Pair it with the Samsung phone and it doesn’t- any way to fix this? Need a dual sim phone for work and love the z fold 2 but also want the watch with numbersync. To work and I am stuck. Thanks
