I couldn't find if this was asked before, but do you automatically sim unlock the Gnex when you unlock bootloader, root and flash custom rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] John Citron:
When I Unlock (forever) with ****DocomoV3.1. I lost my IMEI.

I have a Galaxy Nexus GSM 4.1.1 (bigxie) Rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metroidnemesis13:
Guys, I'm pretty sure you need to be on CM9 stable or android version 4.0.4 and locked with a generic IMEI for the app to work. It worked for me and has held the correct IMEI after flashing different ROMS. I don't think it will work any other way. I'd at least try to get it working on 4.0.4. Thank me if this fixed your problem.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

Sim unlocking is entirely unrelated to unlocking the bootloader, rooting the phone, or flashing the custom rom. The whole term "unlocking" is overused, mostly due to the whole jailbreaking phenomenon on the iPhone and people basically just not knowing what they were talking about (damn apple hipster folk). In order to carrier unlock a phone, you usually have to jailbreak/root it first, which is where the confusion lies.

Here are more accurate meanings for terms--

Unlocking--generally this should mean carrier unlocking, like unlocking your phone for use on a different network.

Unlocking the bootloader-- making the phone able to flash a custom recovery, roms, etc. This must be done before you can flash anything.

Flashing--loading a custom rom or recovery onto a phone.

Thank me if this cleared up anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martindesu:
So, you'd recommend going down to 4.0.4, flashing this app, then installing ROMs over it? Or could I use a nandroid backup in something like ROM manager?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badtzo:
You could use a nandroid backup but need to delete factory and radio folders from it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metroidnemesis13:
I would just back up using Titanium backup and just install 4.0.4 and the app and then flash the rom you're currently on or whatever you want and restore your stuff using Titanium backup. I don't know what files the nandroid backup keeps. Or do what he said, yeah.

Hey I just came across this thread and I've been trying to make sense of the search results but it may just be easier to ask.

I have an NTT DoCoMo Unlocked Nexus from Negri with generic IMEI. What is the best way for me to restore my IMEI?

Will running the Unlock Forever on ****DoCoMo do it? I'm getting the impression that it won't? I tried the method of deleting the files from /data/radio and copying back over from /factory but I ran in to some hiccups in that process and I still have the generic IMEI.

Hi all. I think i really messed up. My phone is now unlocked but i now have a generic imei. Also the app did not make a backup for my imei. So now im stucked with a generic imei. I dont have a backup of my efs. Do i still have hope in restoring my old imei?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carmatoss:
Hi. Which version did you use?.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lee.asid:
I used the latest version 3.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carmatoss:
Ok. Did you search at the sd card or main folders if there are 2 folders named (.unlock_backup and .unlocked_backup)?

They hace to be there!.

And, when you go to DoCoMo app, it dindt say lock again?. or something like that... if is not, its a strange situation.

Good luck..

Hi there,

I just tried this app because I am overseas and I bought it from a carrier in Mexico so it asked me for the freakign PIN.

I am using:

AOKP jb build 1 (4.1.1)

Franco Kernel Milestone 5

After installing the app the phone read the Iraq simcard perfectly but it rebooted itself after 1 min... and after booted if rebooted again and so on. I noticed that when superSU gave permission to the Franco Kernel App the phone rebooted so I installed Trinity Kernel and voila!... app works just fine and my phone stopped rebooting.

Hope this helps for the guys out there having their phone rebooted every minute.

Cheers

Unlock(forever) worked on 4.1.1. But i had to do it in air palne mode.

But the imei changed.

Now i will try to install 4.2.

Before the whole thing I made a full nandroid backup.

If I make a restore in the future, will the imei change back to the original ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mahou86:
Did I make a booboo?

I'm not entirely sure if I have a problem or not. I'm on DoCoMo Japan network, and tried to use the FuxkDocomoV3.1.

The unlock claimed to work, but lost all 3g signal, so I re-locked using the same app, which claimed to be successful. I rebooted but still had no 3g. I restored an image of my rom (cm10) and it appeared to be fixed, no harm no foul. The weird thing though is when I tried to go into a different app Galaxysim unlock, it now claims "MD5 file is unavailable/wrong or MD5 function changed."

I have backups that fuxkdocomo app made, but i'm not sure how to use them / if I even need to use them. Currently everything appears to be functioning normally besides the error message in that one app. Do you guys have any insight as to if I need to do anything involving the backup? I'm going to purchase the unlock code from my provider, and I was wondering if this would prevent me from using it at all. My IMEI number, mac address, and everything appear to be fine.

I'm on 4.1.1 Cm10

Just tried this and it worked! :)

Tried Unlock(forever) using V3.1 on 4.2.1. IMEI changed, and phone would intermittently not connect to network on reboot.

Restored with Lock again (need backup).

Downgraded to 4.0.4 using Toolkit and tried Unlock(forever) again. Let phone reboot a couple of times, and it worked. IMEI was unchanged (correct).

Upgraded to 4.2.1 using Toolkit and phone is still unlocked.

Hi guys!

Quick question, does this app work on a Nexus running CM10.1 (4.2.1)?

Will I be able to remove the simlock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Careful T-Mobile users out there!

First off, thanks a lot for the developer, I've been using your great app for 9 months and it was awesome! :good:

Unfortunately, I have to report a new fact: since last week, T-Mobile (in the US) has blocked all Galaxy Nexus devices using a default IMEI number (so all those unsimlocked by this app) from using their network. They do not communicate about it and it took me a while to figure out why my phone stopped working. I had to properly unlock it by buying the network code for my IMEI.

Anyway, thanks again! :) I won't need it anymore but I'm sure it will still come in handy to plenty of people.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dangermouse111:
i used the app to unlock my nexus but the imei number is blocked in the uk. and now i can't get my original back :(

any help please???

edit.. now i have my imei back, and its unlocked and restored to 4.0.2 fw. but now im not getting a signal with any networks apart from vodafone uk and that keeps dropping off every few mins. ?? im baffled!! :(

edit2.... right! i think i may have messed somthing up here. first, no i did not back up my phone. now if i restore my original imei my phone does not get any signal from any network but is sim unlocked. (imei not blacklisted) and if i use the docu app my phone is still sim unlocked, but has generic imei 0004xxxxx but vodafone now gets a signal and works??? i used root explorer at first and deleted a few files in data/radio, and maybe this is the problem.? this is really strange any help would be much apprieciated as my girlfriend is really gonna kick off with me unless i fix her phone! lol

Can't unlock my phone

Hi guys, i just bought a Galaxy Nexus and can't sim unlock it, the bootloader is unlocked, installed version 4.0.4, tried ****docomo V3.1 and showed "Locked", selected "Forever unlock" and the device rebooted 2 times and then ****docomo FC'd, when opened again it said unlocked, while it didn't!

Tried V2 and still showing the same thing, tried stock android 4.2.2, tried Odin 4.0.4 and all still the same thing, still no signal and the phone shows NO SIM CARD.

1 more thing, when i put my non-docomo sim card, it doesn't pop up any kind unlock code to continue warning.

Is there any hope to unlock it? Or stock docomo ROM or something?

where is the support? Don't use this app

This thread supposed to be a SUPPORT but there is only a lot of people asking for help about same issue: IMEI changed !!! but why??? it supposed will NOT change IMEI ??? and NO support around.

Some cases people say can be restored by Locking again but most of cases can't be reverted, in my case I've tried all the stock ROMs, clear settings, restore/lock again several times and reboot hundred times and the IMEI still generic 0049xxx and CAN NOT connect to my cellphone service network, in other words: THIS "unlocker" BRICKED MY NEXUS

Don't use it!, once you get a generic IMEI you might be banned from the service provider, sooner or later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ar_156:
To administrators: PLEASE block this app! since First: it is changing IMEIs and that is ILEGAL and Second: it is killing our phones!

I used it because it says it will keep IMEI but that is not true, most of people report it is changing all the IMEIs into 0049xxxx, and there is no any confirmable way to restore the IMEI, most of cases NOT REVERSIBLE.

Because of this apps there is a lot a Nexus with same IMEI around, network providers are begining to ban this IMEI !!!

Please help the community removieng apps that are killing our phones
