Ah I see. I figured it was something along those lines, but wasn't sure if it was a rom issue or not.

That being said, I will be picking up CM. I love the flexibility it offers and seems very dependable.

Have you considered adding a feature to hide the app from the drawer, similar to Shady SMS, where you have to dial a code in your phone app to open the app? That's the only feature I wish was available.
[HTC Sensation] ftgg99:
Its already there. "Check Security and obfuscation" in Settings. You an also mask the look of both the persistent and event notifications. Also the widget icon can be changed to look like other applications.
[HTC Sensation] civicvx94:
Wow good deal, I had totally missed that.. Thank you sir.
[HTC Sensation] ftgg99:
There you have it. Please consider leaving a review or at least rating on the market, the app deserves better and good ratings help us invest more time and money in new features.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] civicvx94:
Yeah I absolutely will. Some market commenters are such dumbasses.

Indeed... we got a lot of flack when the beta ended, hopefully in a few months time people will actually start using that star button at the top right of the main screen :)

Haha nice. I bought it yesterday or the day before, and left you 5 stars and a review for the app, as well as the key. People want everything for free nowadays, but for something concerning my privacy, i'm more than willing to pay for peace of mind.

My HTC doesn't block the calls, I mean when I block someone and they call it sounds like my phone is ringing and immediately stop their calls. But what I want is to show like my phone were turned off and I didn't reach any call. Idk if I'm doing it wrong but I have searched in the options, I chose "kill" call and that's the result. Someone tell me what I have to do

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dagentooboy:
Here is what I have discovered so far.

!!Please don't mess with any of this unless you know what you are doing AND you can take it back to t-mobile if the buttons stop working. !!

This phone is going to be a real challenge. None of the unlock stuff works.

If you type *#7465625# into the dialer it FC

If you put in another SIM it says no SIM and never asks for an unlock code (on my first one the front buttons even stopped working)

There are no files big enough in /efs/ to be the nv_data.bin that we all know and love

The /tombstone folder show some promise but I am not sure if you can edit any of those modem images.

Has anyone had one of these apart? Do we know what modem chip they have? The Europe S2 at least had an nv_data.bin file.

Let me know what you guys have seen. Any of the ROM devs have the *#7465625# screen working or the unlock popup when you put in another SIM?

I appreciate any input on this. Sorry that I have hit such a wall on this one :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
correction, if you put in a non Tmo SIM card it will pop up the same screen found on other SGS1/2 asking for the SIM unlock PIN

mine is unlocked already over the web, let me know if you want me to look up something, as i now have my own unlock code to compare against

running *#7465625# it tries to load "personalization"

then it FC and shows

i can continue doing stuff normally in the phone after pressing "OK" to dismiss the message
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kriEv:
Yup i inserted a Rogers SIM in mine and it asked for unlock code
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dagentooboy:
That is really crazy because I have had 2 now that won't even ask for the code with an ATT sim. What ROM are you guys running?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kriEv:
im using Juggernaut
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] senkulpa:
I was on rooted stock when I got an unlock code over the web from TMo. Don't know if that made a difference.

T-Mobile Sim Unlock Request

Sim Unlock Reference: 4889389

IMEI: 35793004120xxxx

Unlock Code: 68075180
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dagentooboy:
Did the code work? Did it unlock ok?

I got mine <24H but when I put in an ATT sim it just said "no sim card"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
stock Tmo ROM (i bough the Tmo version of the T989)

no root

the first thing i did after i unboxed the phone was to plug in my WIND SIM card to see if it was unlocked or not, but immediately got that POP up asking for the PIN
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dagentooboy:
WOW.... maybe they just block ATT sims :'(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dagentooboy:
I found an older ATT sim and managed to unlock my phone but I couldn't find any differences in any of the files I backed up. It must interface directly with the modem somehow. Maybe there is a /dev/ device that has the modem configuration but is only mounted when you use the unlock code. Anyone have any information on that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] matthenry87:
I have an SGS2 that has been affected by the corrupt efs problem (Unknown Baseband/IMEI and no sim/service). Usually restoring the backups of the nv_data files automatically generated by the phone would solve this problem but since we dont have these files I'm kinda SOL for the time being.. Any ideas??

Sorry if this is slightly off topic, but the nv_data files are directly related to previous methods of unlocking this phone, and if anyone has any idea where the equivalent files are I'm guessing they would be in this thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dagentooboy:
No that's fine. You are right in that if we could find the nv_data files we would be 50% of the way there. Did you flash a modem from the Europe SGS2? They are very different.

Last night I started running through 1 partition at a time like this.

cat /dev/mmcblk0p1 | grep ssnv

I am looking for a partition that might have an nv_data like file in it. The next thing I was going to do tonight is look for my unlock code in each partition. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas or a list of what all 28 partitions are.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
The baseband/efs files are located in these two emmc partitions

/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 mounted to /system/etc/firmware/misc

and

/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 mounted to /system/etc/firmware/misc_mdm

with out the device mounting those points correctly, or with them being damaged you will no longer have your baseband or sim detected.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dagentooboy:
OK... I unlocked mine with a code and didn't see any change in either of those folders.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
did you effectively check these files before and after an unlock? a md5sum and a binary compare.

i could be they have went the same way as htc where the nvm is on a separate mount that the radio only has access too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dagentooboy:
I will check again... I backed up those folders before I unlocked it.

I hope they didn't lock down the NV Data :'(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JUSMEJOSE:
Same here when i input *#7465625# FC maybe in the next update nspro or z3x will release something..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eggnoodle:
ditto here. got the unlocked code from TMO. insert a non TMO sim and it asked for the code. it was successfully unlocked, but when I typed in *#7465625# it FC. I'm on Juggernaut 3.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dagentooboy:
I still haven't found any binary diff in any files I have. There must be a mount point that we cannot see. If anyone unlocks their phone maybe a logcat would help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkamikaze:
It's interesting when I type that code.. I'll lose signal and it will come back (AT&T).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mha1021:
i just bought t-mobile SGS2 today and it's not rooted yet as i put At&t sim card it asked me for unlock code.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mmilestone:
I got my Herc unlocked. But I found out something after that. I don't know if it would be of help BUT, when I put in *#7465625# it opens up an app called Personalization but eventually FCs like everyone else.

So, using AnyCut, I decided to put a shortcut for activity Personalization on the homescreen. As soon as AnyCut placed it on the screen I started it up.

Lo and Behold!

The pop-up button for the unlock prompt came up!

...although my phone was already unlocked, I still put in the unlock code and it came back with "Unlock Succesful" (as expected).

Hope that helps...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fatnemesis:
More disappointing info: neither the IMEI nor the unlock code seems to be present in raw form (plain text or hex-encoded) in /etc/firmware files.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] onyonees:
i just did the steps you mentioned using anycut and the same thing happened, "unlock successful" popped up. i can't verify if it worked though because i do not have an att sim at the moment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cjbrigol:
Ha wow I just used anycut and did the same thing. I put in a random code and it said Unlock Successful...can't be right...must find AT&T sim I left laying around...will update if I find it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] horatiob:
Same here but it makes no sense... could it really be this easy? It's 1:02am and I am contemplating waking my AT&T cousin and driving to his house and popping in his sim card in my phone... pretty sad... I know
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mha1021:
just wanted to confirm that it says unlock successful but it doesn't work. I just put at&t sim still asks me for unlock code and while i had at&t sim in the phone i tried one more time still no success.

Thanx anyway i got excited that it could unlock it for free but no.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dagentooboy:
Man... wouldn't that have been nice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] horatiob:
You know what else would be nice? If you shared your findings with me when you figure out how to unlock these or include it as a new feature in SGS Unlock PRO (which I paid for on the APP market)

Also I had an idea. I am not a dev by any means, but I am curious. SGS Unlock pro only worked for me on my vibrant when it was running eclaire. So my question is this. Could SGS Unlock pro work on the t989 if we somehow got eclaire loaded on it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dagentooboy:
There is no findings yet. The T989 uses a different modem so I think we are out of luck for going back a version and unlocking it... sorry.

it might help finding out the new location of the files
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
Just out of curiosity, I have dd's /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 (/system/etc/firmware/misc)

and it is infact amss.bin in a Odin tar its a binary match to my telus from my telus device odin tar.

and /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 (/system/etc/firmware/misc_mdm) is in fact mdm.bin from the same tar.

both bins are actually fat file systems and can be mounted under linux and viewed as a file system, just liek you can see they are mounted on the device.

/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 (/efs)

is a ext4 file system and appears to be device specific. but i have yet to find any NV data in it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dagentooboy:
I still haven't found any of the familiar nv_data stuff in any of the /dev/block/mmc* devices. What would be helpful is if someone backed up all the /dev/block/mmc* devices to their SDCard before and after an unlock.

You could probably use

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 >> /sdcard/mmc17.bin

for each one of them and that way I could do a binary diff on them and see if I can narrow it down.

Unlock is out there

I accidentally stumbled upon something called Sptbox 12.7.8 online on some forum & it seems like people are successfully unlocking SGH-T989 with that. I am unsure if I am supposed to post any external links here but I think a Google search will do. :)

I have not tried or intend to do it as I am sure T-Mo will provide unlock code if I need in the future.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dagentooboy:
Yes.... I heard about them when I was looking for an unlock solution for the Japanese I9000. It is an external box that simulates the factory interface and allows you to perform tasks that Samsung could do at the factory or service center.

NV Rebuild

Has anybody tried NV Rebuild via Service Menu on this phone?

I was just wondering if resetting via NV Rebuild would actually make the real /efs visible, so the question goes to Devs who are familiar with this Service procedure.

I am in no way suggesting anybody to try it though, as I believe it will reset all the radio settings, which will render the "Phone" and probably the rest wireless functionality to dummy state. Some settings can be set back to original via the same Service Menu, but probably not all, so DO NOT DO IT.

There is an option to create a Master Backup in NV Rebuild menu, which I did create, by default it is not there. But I am not going to rely on that, as

there is no guarantee that the Restore option will actually restore everything, so I just left it at that.

Thanks,

CJ

If you could save all your partitions.... something like this for each one.

su

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1>> /sdcard/mmc1.bin

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 >> /sdcard/mmc2.bin

.

.

.

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 >> /sdcard/mmc17.bin

then logcat while unlocking and save all your partitions again... then zip up the whole thing and upload it to google docs and share it with me :D

Ok I could do that. Is it one through seventeen? I work at best buy so I will try to get the att Sim tonight. Even if it takes another day or two I will still do this whenever I unlock it and zip it up for ya :) I did try the unlock code by putting it in through personalization and it said successful but from what I read it always says successful but doesn't really do anything. True?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dagentooboy:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cavemaneca:
Btw, after backing up all blocks, if you restored them one at a time, and checked if it locked out again after restoring one, would that help figure out where the lock settings are? Jw since I'm going to do the same thing just as soon as I get my code from Tmobile.
