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...

hi
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.

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:
Ok so this is still a work in progress but it works, and lte works on my att and tmobile sims. Ill post as many screen shots and be detailed as I possibly can so bear with me.....
So i have a samsung galaxy s4 the sgh-s970g, and a customer needed it unlocked so I thought I would give it a try. Its been a fun phone to mess with. So I am on 4.2.2 and this is the only version I have tested on. I havent tested on 4.3 so let me know if it works for you.
So my baseband is MH3. I used saferoot to root the phone and then I used the twrp for the m919 version to get a custom recovery. after this i went into recovery and made a nandroid. I would advice you do the same if your going to try this, because I am in no way responsible for anything that happens to your phone it will trip your knox counter and your warranty is now void.
ok so I have a tmobile sim in the phone the whole time because it gives you a invalid sim message and when you get rid of that the phone is unlocked. Now I flashed the wicked v-8 4.2.2 custom m919 rom onto the phone. And after that i booted it up like normal and had no problems booting it. So when it finally boots up this is what I see....
know with the tmobile rom it is asking for a sim unlock code. This is where it gets a little tricky.. Youll need to download region lock.apk
you can get it from the play store or from the developer on xda, (great app by the way). So now is when i procedded to use spt box to unlock part of this but i believe you can do it without the spt. so just set your phone up and when your done your settings should look like this... youll still have straight talk radio but everything else including kernel is the tmobile m919.
Ok so now go ahead and open up the region unlock apk and instead of pressing unlock your going to lock it. when its done go ahead and reboot it and then its going to ask your for a password again but this time you know it.. Its going to be 00000000, or atleast it was for me but like I said i dont believe spt is needed to reset the efs i believe the region lock apk will do this and it shoould say unlock succesful like this...
the only kicker is anytime you reboot your phone your going to have to run region lock and lock your modem and then reboot and type in the 8 zeros to unlock if someone figures out a better way that would be awesome.. I also believe this method could be used to help unlock the s4 l720t and sm-n900p without the assisstance of sprint. Any feedback and help would be greatly appreciated and enjoy your unlocked phone....

Region away app works only up to 4.3, so I guess you need to downgrade the baseband to L720T's MK3 modem.
No harm in trying.

the l720t was actually shipped with a 4.2.2 rom and if you could find that modem for the 4.2.2 it was originally shipped with you can unlock it

I can only find a 4.3 ROM for L720T not any version before it.
So, just to clarify, do we have to use the ROM or can we do this on stock? I have two of these LTE-T marked phones from Straight Talk that I'd like to use AT&T Straight Talk SIMs with.
tried this on a stock tmobile mdl firmware with the mh3 baseband with no go.. What am i doing wrong?

Yes i have, Tracfone will have to provide an update to fix the issue. Reason is that everytime you enter the code its accepted. But as soon as you reboot the phone it asks for the code again. So not sure how tracfone will handle this.
Well I returned my $250 Black Friday special as I just have no faith in getting an unlock code for these Galaxy S4s as I wanted to use it on AT&T and I had picked up the Tmobile version. I'll have to settled for a used item instead.
So will this phone work with a straight talk att Sim and a tmo Sim as long as its through ST?
After fallowing all the steps I get to the 8 0's hit enter and it just sits at the screen, and says unsuccessful. Sgh-s970g bb:mh3 av:4.2.2
Anyone know of a pay site to unlock this device. The one legit one was for over seas and I'm in US. I tried offering straight talk money and they said this phone needs to be active for 5 more months before they'll provide me the unlock code. I guess you need 12 months of active service to be eligible for the unlock program. The only thing is, is it will only work on a straight talk T-Mobile Sim until then. Tia.
It DOES work. I installed the wikid v8 rom on a SHG-S970G this morning, opened region lock, unlocked modem, relocked modem rebooted, and entered my unlock code and BAM, Successful unlock. Thanks a grand! By the way i bought the unlock code on a 3rd party site. Im now running ATT on the phone.
Straighttalk will only unlock phones purchased on or after Dec 2013, currently active on ST Service & have been active for 12 consecutive months, if you call the unlock department you will be transferred to their automated information center if your phone is not eligible for unlocking, this is just to inform you of the requirements to unlock your device.
ST unlock
I've had mine 6 months... Called them 5 times and they told me everytime they couldn't unlock my phone (sgh s970g). So.. I used CHIMURA to root for free. Installed the m919 twrp for recovery. Installed wikid v8 using twrp installed regionlockaway locked the modem rebooted, entered my unlock code and it gave me a successful unlock. As stated I'm running a Straighttalk AT&T sim on mine.

Hi all,
I would like to start off by saying that i dont care about any warranty or any such issues. I had bought a S4 in US which i brought to India without ever activating on T Mobile network. This means that on contacting T Mobile, they are unable to send me any activation code which could SIM Unlock my device.
So now my only problem is to make my device usable. I see two options:
a) SIM Unlock
b) Complete removal of firmware and install some custom ROM, bootloader and other components to get rid of T mobile network
Problem is that i am a newbie and couldnt find any thread that could help me. MY device is updated to the latest version i.e. i am on 4.4.2 with baseband as M919UVUF9B4 and knox bootloader
Can someone help me out. I have already tried rooting the device and trying some apps which suggested that would help me unlock my device but none of them worked..
Thanks

If you paid T-Mobile the full price for the phone approx US$500-US$600 (not the subsidized price) before you left, they should provide you with the SIM Unlock code. You may need to talk with another customer service agent. However, if you only paid the subsidized price, then you've broken the contract with them, and they won't. You'll have to contact a company that will sell you an unlock code.
As to rooting the phone, have you tried this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005 ?
If this doesn't work, you're doing it wrong.

Flashing a custom rom will not allow it to work on a different network. The phone will still be sim locked.
Like the post above me says, call T Mobile and have them give you the code. If you didn't pay the phone off, they won't give it to you nor should they.
Chainfire's Region Lockaway app will SIM unlock in the process of removing region restrictions. I remember reading something to that effect anyway.
For use chainfire's Region Unlock, you must be root.

Have already tried chainfire's Region Unlock but its unusable on 4.4.2.
Please suggest the ways in which i can unlock my phone which is on 4.4.2 with baseband as M919UVUF9B4 and knox bootloader and i request you to please do not assume that phone is blacklisted or the warranty be void. i just want my phone to work here and that's it.

Hi there, double post alarm sorry, but im only giving the expose and linking the rest to keep it short:
so origninal post Note 2 LTE - suddenly sim locked again ???, as "Droidriven" pointed out, i should have posted this in the appropriate device specific forum from the very start perhaps, so this is my 2nd try:
..so allmost ready to let it go, but with a glimps of hope out there...depending ou you guys...
the History(expose):
The phone: Samsung Galaxy Note2 GT-N7105 LTE ( t0lte ): initially locked to the Austrian Carrier A1, but i bought it allready unlocked.
2013 - root via clockworkmod and wanam light rom - later only minor changes - 2016 - updated recovery to TWRP 3.0.2 and cyanogenmod 13.0 - 20161118-NIGHTLY (Marshmallow juhu!! cool!!)
...suddenly not reachable via cellular network. Still able to make phonecalls and reachable via landline (pretty strange...) - Simcard-swap gave me request for SIM-unlock code
..so from now on no calls or whatever ..no signing on to the network at all
imei and baseband intact - only noticable alteration was unattended update to cm-13.0-20161122-NIGHTLY
-> reverted to stock - didnt help
unlock via free unlock methods aswell as paid attempts didnt either...
dd-ing back old backups: PIT-File and EFS-partition and Flashing original original Stock via Kies...no use...still locked
GalaxSIM unlock says unsupported Model - purchased Unlock code (including unfreeze code) no use....im stuck!!!
:crying:
What do you guys think? ...any suggestions
if you're confused (..as i am), check out the whole story
Thanks for any help in advance...
When you mention sim unlock code, are you referring to a code to unlock the sim or carrier/network unlock code?
I've never personally come across a situation where a phone re-locked to the original carrier after unlocking with a code or using a free method. This includes flashing ROMs, bootloaders, and modems to an s2, s3, s4, note 2, note 3, and note 4..

The quickest solution may be to buy an unlock code from eBay. Unlocking by code should be permanent.

if there is a special variant of the s20 that i can get and use on verizon, can anyone give me the exact model number and then an idea of where/how to get it?
unfortunately i am stuck with verizon as i'm on a plan with family members where i am the head of the account so getting rid of verizon really isnt a possibility for me.
i just want to get a really good 5g phone because there is 5g where i live. but i want to root it and have all of the tools i have with my current phone which is an LG v20 - i love the v20 but its getting old obviously and slow and its driving me crazy with how slow and laggy it feels.
i appreciate any help on this topic!
ok so i'm bumping this
can i buy an s20 ultra from amazon that says unlocked
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Unlocked-Fingerprint-Recognition-Long-Lasting/dp/B082XYGR2C/
something like this that says unlocked?
would i be able to root this and use it on verizon?
i just dont want to spend that kind of money on a phone and not even be able to root it and unlock the bootloader and not be able to put TWRP and magisk and xposed and etc
unlocked means carrier unlocked as for the bootloader https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/sampwnd-usa-model-bl-unlock-info-u-u1-w.4201689/
