i manage to make it work. The problem lies on the order of the commands plus the lock byte address. Mine was at 181460h. i had to manually edit it via hex editor and continue to enter the command

adb shell
su
mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /mnt/sdcard
mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /factory
"mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /data
"mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /

And instead of cp to pass the files to the sdcard as a back up, cat worked great for me.

adb shell
su
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/nv_data_mod/
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/nv_data_mod/factory
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/nv_data_mod/data/radio
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/nv_data_mod/unlock
mkdir /data/radio"
cat /factory/nv_data.bin >> /mnt/sdcard/nv_data_mod/factory/nv_data.bin
cat /factory/nv_data.bin.md5 >> /mnt/sdcard/nv_data_mod/factory/nv_data.bin.md5
cat /data/radio/nv_data.md5 >> /mnt/sdcard/nv_data_mod/data/radio/nv_data.md5
cat /data/radio/nv_data.bin.md5 >> /mnt/sdcard/nv_data_mod/data/radio/nv_data.bin.md5

I still enter this to make sure i wasnt missing something

cd /mnt/sdcard/nv_data_mod/
echo -en \\x00 > tmp00
dd if=./factory/nv_data.bin of=./tmpff bs=1 count=30 skip=16
dd if=./factory/nv_data.bin of=./data1 bs=1 count=1572969
dd if=./factory/nv_data.bin of=./data2 bs=1 skip=1572999 count=5090
dd if=./factory/nv_data.bin of=./data3 bs=1 skip=1578090
cat data1 tmpff data2 tmp00 data3 > /mnt/sdcard/nv_data_mod/unlock/nv_data.bin

This command says sh: md5sum: not found

sh: tr: not found

sh: sed: not found

md5sum /mnt/sdcard/nv_data_mod/unlock/nv_data.bin | tr '\n' 'X' | sed 's/ .*//' > /mnt/sdcard/nv_data_mod/unlock/nv_data.bin.md5 od -x

Also I couldnt find or create any nv_data.bin.md5 before or after the unlock. Here i manually edited the nv_data.bin on address 181460h. And placed it inside nv_data_mod/unlock

At the end I used

rm /factory/nv_data.bin
rm /factory/nv_data.bin.md5rm /data/radio/nv_data.bin
rm /data/radio/nv_data.md5
rm /data/radio/nv_data.bin.md5
rm /tmp00
rm /tmpff
rm /data1
rm /data2
rm /data3

cat /mnt/sdcard/nv_data_mod/unlock/nv_data.bin > /factory/nv_data.bin"
cat /mnt/sdcard/nv_data_mod/unlock/nv_data.bin.md5 > /factory/nv_data.bin.md5"
cat/mnt/sdcard/nv_data_mod/unlock/nv_data.bin > /data/radio/nv_data.bin
cat /mnt/sdcard/nv_data_mod/unlock/nv_data.bin.md5 > /data/radio/nv_data.bin.md5"

chmod 777 /factory/nv.log
chmod 777 /factory/nv_data.bin
chmod 777 /factory/nv_data.bin.md5
chmod 777 /data/radio/nv_data.bin.md5
chmod 777 /data/radio/nv_data.bin
reboot

Again I had problems with md5 but still threw the command just in case

same issue

guys,

my phone was supposed to be unlocked, but after a reboot it did not recognize the sim card. after several tries of different basebands, kernels, roms, i decided to run the script hack, however, it seems to unlock the sim card but after reboot the lock comes again and i have to re run the hack nv. any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zEar:
Hi all,

Thanks to this thread, done this in one hour. Unboxed the Gnex, unlocked bootloader, rooted, installed busybox, updated radio to XKKL1 and applied the hack. The phone seem OK, after one hour it did not drop any signal.

Will update after using it one day or two

Thanks all !

I purchased an unlocked GSM phone and used WugFresh's toolkit to unlock it and reflash with yakju. Before doing this the phone worked fine with my SIM card. Afterthe process I got "SIM network unlock PIN"

I am seeing a lot of stuff in this thread and after this failure I don't want to do more to my phone than is needed to get it to work.

What do I need to do at this point to get my phone to use the SIM and have a stock Google Image.

You help is appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heo_con184:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kolpex:
Hello all,

I'm also looking to SIM-network unlock my phone... I'm scared to try the hack because of the "call drops" some of you have...

So I'm waiting for a free solution (as I don't want to pay to get the unlock code).

Until then I have a question: Do I need to have my bootloader unlocked in order to apply the hack posted a few pages ago?

Also, if it's not required, then should I leave my bootloader unlocked or should I lock it back, as I unlocked it only because I thought it would SIM-network-unlock my phone, but it didn't, so what to do now, just leave the bootloader unlocked? What does that change? And why do I see an open lock when starting the phone? I want get ride of it, how should I proceed?

Thanks everyone for your very greatly appreciated help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErrorF002:
I just bought the phone off of amazon. I'd post the link, but I am too new to post links.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zEar:
Yes you have to unlock your bootloader because the hack requires root and busybox tools.

As for the drops, the XKKL1 radio seems stable. I've been using it with stock 4.0.2 and no drops so far...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fishmanzero:
Just ordered a SC-04D, searched around for the SIM unlock info and found this thread as well as some Japanese posts.

It seems that some Japanese guys got IMEI messed-up after unlocking this way? If so is there any way to modify IMEI after that?

Any way, I will try this out once I get the GN in hand.

cannot agree more...

It seems so complicated and so frustrating that I can't sim-unlock my Galaxy Nexus while I was able to unlock my iPhone 4 with one single click from the integrated browser... is it just me or android really sucks for this!? Why a 5 years old child can unlock an iPhone, but we guys stuck with the super strong unbreakable Galaxy Nexus sim lock??? this is crazy **** I'm considering getting a refund for this phone if I can't sim-unlock it as I just can't use it with my carrier... stupid lock!!! I though Android was "open" source..... :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] herbert1:
Just 3 remarks:

- everything is not "open-source" in android. The linux kernel and the android OS are, but not all drivers and not all applications...

- even if Android is open source, that don't mean that the cryptographic keys used to simlock/unsimlock the phone are freely accessibles ! Open source don't mean insecure !

- Galaxy Nexus is a new device, if Samsung has done its manufacturer work correctly, it's quite normal that it takes some time... Buy a recent simlocked phone (on a other carrier than yours), is generally not the best idea someone can have :rolleyes:

Perhaps you could buy a sim-unlock code, couldn't you ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] igma:
step by step

here a simple steb by step

1: unlock your bootloader

2: root your phone

3: when phone on turn usb debug on

4: run the hack.

if that doesn't work than just flash a custom rom i would recomend android revolution i think is stable and run the hack with usb debug on again and it's done. 100%

and one more thing, script is writen if the adnroid sdk is in location c:/ program files/android/android-sdk/platform-tools

so just copy simlock to this location and run it

here is gnex toolkit

and atached hack you just have to extract it.

someone else made the script I just downloaded and I upload it here maybe is easier for people.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
iPhones users have 1 choice of phone, so everybody out there is going to focus all their energy hacking that particular phone. iPhones and most iAnything are dumbed down and locked down for people who don't know how and can't be bothered to figure out the ins and outs of their phones. Of course "it just works" as long as you do only what Apple intends you to do. Also, as was said, this is a new phone and people are still figuring out how to mess with it. I don't know crap about phones and I had my DoCoMo SC-04D unlocked, rooted, flashed, and sim-unlocked shortly after I bought it. If you want it unlocked, the stupid easy way, pay the $30 to one of the online sites to get you the code to type in. That, or go back to playing with your cute little iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Equinox102:
Hmm this process no longer works on 4.0.4-based ROMs. The /data/radio/nv_data.bin copy is replaced when you reboot the phone with the un-patched version.

I bought a Docomo variant of Galaxy Nexus from a locally well known importer, for about USD440 after conversion. It appears to have been permanently unlocked with correct IMEI intact. I have made factory reset and flashed to Yakju firmwares, and the device remained unlocked.

What are the chances that the device is factory unlocked? Any valuable information in the device that I can contribute?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
Your device is factory unlocked. Seems a few of them were unlocked the correct way and meant to be for some HK carriers or something.

Not sure what you can do to help figure out how they do it, can probably try PM'ing OP of this and the unlock app thread.

Hello xda! I'm french and i bought a Galaxy Nexus 4 months ago, i sim unlocked it the dayi got it, and since that day everything went perfect...

Last friday i went to work with my phone out of charge, i guess it was okay so i leave it out of charge for a full day. When i went back home i plugged it in order to charge it but, now my phone is sim locked again!!!

So i called my provider to have my unlock code again, but it's not working anymore, they told me that they will contact Samsung to check my code...it could last 4 weeks!

So what should i do? Buy an unlock code ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shenye:
Try factory reset and see if it works on first boot. If not, it's because you've attempted it too many times and you will need the unfreeze code from your provider.

I generally don't care so much about not being able to:

1. transfer sms and contacts TO sim

2. sync doc, txt, and pdf files, offline, through Zune

3. sync flac or divx files

4. make an offline backup of contacts or of the whole phone configuration

5. create new accent colors

6. toggle wifi/gps/3g data/bluetooth with a single tap from the home screen

7. dictate sms or other speech orders in my native language

etc...

All of the above limitations (and some more) can be tolerable at some degree because of WP7 general superiority in other levels.

BUT...

I'm really pissed off with Microsoft...They have totally abandoned open market phones...First, we had a major error with Mango for LG update, that forced some people to flash a new official rom in order to get it. I never got a tethering update for my open LG and now I don't even get the latest official 7740 update. I don't f$%^ care about carriers. I bought an officially OPEN device and I demand support, or else they can stop selling us illusions...
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Blame your OEM, not Microsoft for not getting tethering. They are the ones delivering the proper drivers needed for tethering to be enabled. The feature is already built in in Mango. Concerning 7740 you're right. But it has been released when? Yesterday? No update so far has reached all users at the same time. It has always taken a few weeks until every single Windows Phone user out there received an update. Knowing that 7740 won't change much, I personally do not really care about when I will receive it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] contable:
So far I didn´t get the latest 7740 update either, but I installed it manually with cab sender.

It doesn't fix the keyboard disappearing issue, so it's pretty much useless. This is by far the biggest annoyance for me right now. Keyboard disappears 10+ times when i'm typing a SMS. And in some apps you can't bring back the keyboard by touching the input box. I have to copy/paste and try again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Muvolt:
You are right here, but this wouldn't have happened if Microsoft had put strict rules around its ecosystem. It's unacceptable for such a unified quality concept to have basic specs like tethering, managed almost randomly (at will) by the OEMs without Microsoft's supervision. LG has released the firmware for branded phones (so, there is no arguing here that they couldn't have released it because of hardware restrictions) and totally rejected all of those people who have open phones. WHO controls this type of marketing anarchy around one of the most innovative, popular products of the world?

I'm shocked by this management attitude, because I'm a Microsoft customer for over 18 years and I know very well that they are aces in product support. As I mentioned earlier, ιn my first post, this is not the only fault Ι've been through and I'm looking forward to see this company measuring its actions with responsibility and care but, right now I'm totally disappointed.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
Hey Guys! I think I'll be pulling the trigger soon in buying to Galaxy Note, I just wanted to give out a shout and see if anyone here has used a iPad Data only SIM card (micro Sim inside a adapter).

I currently have the $30 month unlimited plan and I use that SIM in my iPhone 4 with a custom APN. I would think the APN modification would be the same for the Note, where you just change "wap.cingular" to simply: "Broadband" as I had to do with my iPhone 4.

I was just curious is anyone else has done this yet? I did a search and I have been trolling, but I have yet to find anything about a user using a iPad SIM inside a Android PHONE(though I used it on the ATT Galaxy tab with no modification)

I have been able to use talkatone/google voice to be completely Data centric, though I do have the cheapest gophone that I keep turned off in my car just in case...I was able to use my Galaxy Tab in the same way, so I don't see any reason why I can't use a Galaxy Note with data only.

iPad 2 Data Only plan on Galaxy Note

I bought the Galaxy Note about a week now, and I have been using it as a replacement for my iPad 2 rather then a 2nd phone. (Currently using Galaxy SII). My iPad 2 data plan has unlimited 3G and the only problem was the convert the microSIM to a Regular SIM. In the end, I decided to visit the local telecom services (Using One2free-CSL, Hong Kong) and asked for a replacement of a new SIM card. I tried using a MicroSIM adaptor and honestly as I plug in the adaptor halfway to the SGN it started to get tight and hard to pull it back out. This is why I decided to as for a replacement SIM rather then using a microSIM adapter.

Anyways the end result is, it works... I am currently running my GSN on One2free Data only network plan (+21 Mbps) and rocking it.:cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bengaz:
I made an adapter out of a credit card, its very easy but dangerous:o

Selotape the credit card firmly to a flat piece of wood.

Draw round a normal sim then draw round the micro sim aligning the contacts with the normal sim ones. Cut the micro sim out of the centre first then cut the outsides out after that using a craft knife.

Press the micro sim in in the hole youve made.

Watch your fingers lol...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
Did you have to modify of change the APN at all? Or you just put it in there and data magically worked?

I have a adapter from when I used it on my Galaxy tab, I think I will be find with that.

ipad sim

Hello. I've been running an iPad 3g sim with unlimited data through several android phones and now the note. I use google voice and csipsimple to get by on calling and texting and the rest of my data is for netflix and browsing. I love it. Only $29.99 every month no tax and I can do anything that every other plan offers. Anyways to setup an android phone for the iPad sim the apn should be set as

Name: anything you want

Apn: broadband

Leave everything else to not set.

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication type: select none

And that's it. Make sure you hit the menu button and save the apn then Delete any other apn on the phone and you'll be good to go :). Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mdpearo:
I was able to get an ATT pre-paid tablet sim and works just fine in the note. Using the APN broadband as described above. I just went in the store, told them I had a GSM compatible tablet and wanted tablet plan. They did have to activate the sim using the IEMI of a tablet in the store but works without any problems. Prior to doing that, I tried friends iPhone sim and Cellular One sim and both worked without issue. Did manually configure the APN of course.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
I used the same setting as noted above. Its the same settings at you would use on a ATT phone, you are just excluding the mms fields abd changing wap.cingular to "broadband" as i had to do on my iphone 4.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lsquare:
Stupid question and a little off-topic, but will an iPad SIM work with an unlocked iPhone 4S? When I travel, I wouldn't mind using an unlocked iPhone 4 with data only. I don't see a reason to get voice. If it does work, will I be able to tether devices to the iPhone 4S and get data via wifi or bluetooth?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
From that I understand the Custom APN changer does work on the 4S as well.

You simply go to:

http://unlockit.co.nz/

on your iphone

Select your country and "AT&T (Broadband)" as your carrier

Install APN

This works while in the US with a ATT iPad SIM. I am not sure about other iPad sims for other countries. You used to be able to complete your own APN, but now it seams they are sticking to standardized ones that have to be pre-programmed by their website. This also lets you use a normal iPhone SIm in your iPad for data only.

I doubt you would be able to tether. There is no Jailbreak available for the 4S yet, and if you can't get tethering on the Data only plans. Maybe if you had a unlocked 4S? IDK if the tethering feature works like that if your plan does not support it or if its not locked down.
