I did get it from Thailand, but apparently it is the SC-04D. It has the Docomo logo at the back, docomo's battery and Docomo all over at the sticker where you put the battery in.

I believe this is a docomo phone that somehow made it way to Thailand. Just like you can find some at Negri or Expansys I suppose.

I dont have an old FOMA 3G SIM. I joined Docomo only when they introduced the Xi ;-)

Oren.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmaurice:
Hmm, why would you buy a docomo phone from Thailand when you can buy it for 1 yen at yodobashi under new contract and only 5000 yen to upgrade your contract?

Anyway, who knows what they did to the radio stack in the phone to unlock it. First, double check the IMEI matches the sticker on the back by dialing *#06#. Also briefly try using the open.mopera.net APN (but remember it's the more expensive one) and see if that works. I think this requires mopera service on your account, but double check with docomo.

J
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Oren The Red:
Thanks! helped! they indeed tempered the IMEI. I will search how to change it back to the original one. Thanks a bunch that what I needed.

And I got it for my brother who will pick it up in 45 days while he will visit me in Japan :-) I am anxious to use it here as I really suffer from the poor battery life of the Samsung Galaxy SII LTE and the fact that it does not look like there is any ROM dev for it so I am pretty much stucked with the docomo bloatware.

Oren.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Oren The Red:
no luck in changing the IMEI to the original. I am stucked with the generic 0049xxxxxxx

Do you think if I go to Docomo Shop, explains them the situation and will also agree to pay the unlock fees, they would agree to "factory default" it?

Oren.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmaurice:
Since changing your IMEI is illegal, I don't think docomo would be happy if you brought in a phone with a tampered IMEI... But they can't help you anyway, since docomo can only give an unlock code for a given IMEI. I paid docomo the 3150 yen for my unlock code, but it's the same one you can buy online cheaper.

Whoever unlocked the phone in Thailand probably wanted to increase their profit margin by not buying an unlock code for your phone's IMEI, so they just flashed the NVRAM of an already-unlocked phone to yours, thus destroying your phone's original NVRAM contents. I imagine you would have to bring it to Samsung for repair to restore the original NVRAM.

Alternatively, you can use a b-mobile sim which is the same docomo network without the IMEI check. Their network is throttled to be much slower than "real" docomo, but it would work. AFAIK, Softbank also doesn't check IMEI numbers.

But if I were you, I'd just go to a yodobashi camera and buy a new galaxy nexus for 1 yen. Sell the thailand-unlocked one you have on eBay.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cflow:
im actually having the same exact problem as Oren. i just flashed CM9 RC1 coming from Apex rom. i normally use the sp mode apn which shows up in any device and all new roms when i insert the sim card, but even after i manually input the sp mode apn into cm9, it fails to work. my sp mode data worked fine an hour ago when i had apex rom so i'm absolutely clueless as to why it's not working for cm9.

help please =[
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DPUkyle:
cflow, can you verify your IMEI wasn't reset by accident?

You can check your IMEI from Settings -> About Phone -> Status or by dialing *#06#. If it's a generic value like 0049xxxxxxx then docomo will block you from accessing the data network.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Oren The Red:
Hi cflow.

My problem turned out to be a generic IMEI that I had on the phone (probably it was unlocked in Thailand). I ended up selling the device abroad and bought a LOCKED on here in Japan at 20,000jpy and unlocked it at a Docomo shop.

So start with checking your IMEI.

Oren.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cflow:
i just checked my imei and it matches up. so definitely not an imei issue.

i reverted back to the apex rom and when i check my apns, spmode was there and it works fine. i'm lost as to why it won't work with cm9. i also tried aokp b38 last night as well and spmode was working with no problems.

thanks for the help so far guys! i hope we can figure this out. apex rom is great, but my battery is draining incredibly fast so i'd love to try out cm9 and see if it's any better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Oren The Red:
At the past I had CM9 nightly installed. Maybe you should check the spmode apn settings again since it was working perfectly for me on CM9.

Now I am on AOKP b40 and couldnt be happier.

O.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmaurice:
Interesting how it works with one ROM but not another. Check the output of "adb logcat" when you try to connect, and also try the test APN, "0120.mopera.ne.jp" and see if that connects.

It's also possible that CM9 nightly broke something for docomo, I assume everyone on this thread is running one that's at least a few weeks old. I upgrade my CM9 nightly about once a month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cflow:
did they fix the gps issue for maguro in aokp b40? it was completely unusable in b38.

also, i double checked the sp mode apn info and made sure it was correct.

so both you guys got spmode to work on cm9? when i'm on wifi, it says that i have voice signal, but once i turn wifi off, i lose all signal data and voice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cflow:
i actually flashed the most recent cm9 rc1. i'll reflash cm9 later tonight and see if it connects to the test apn. that doesn't affect my billing at all right?

also, how do i check adb logcat and what exactly should i be on the lookout for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmaurice:
Did you ever get this resolved? I'm running a CM9 nightly from July, and everything is fine as usual. I'd guess it's something weird on your billing plan, but check adb logcat (by typing "adb logcat" in your shell) and look for anything about not being able to connect to the data network.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koiothai:
I m using galaxy nexus for last 6 months and i paid docomo 3150 yen too for maing it sim free but it always get lock after few weeks or so. i need to go to docomo again and again and they do it for no money but they always refuse to give me my sim free code. i would like to pay again and buy it online. i tried few sites but they could not offer me sim free code.could u please advice me someone who could provide sim free code for my docomo galaya nexus?thanx.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmaurice:
The nice girl at docomo shop gave me my unlock code without even asking. If they won't give it to you for some reason, install a keylogger or hacked dialer app to log all the keys pressed and ask them to unlock it again.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] otakuma:
great information!

I have really enjoyed this thread. Unfortunately I did not read ahead as well. I followed the instructions because I was heading back to the states for 3 months. I had no problem unlocking everything and running nightly CM10.

However :P I got back to Japan yesterday and found out I stripped my IMEI to a generic one using the FuxkDocomo app. I went to Docomo and they said I could exchange my phone for 50,000 yen. For me this has been a great process and worth the fifty bucks. If I can keep the phone I actually make money in the long run!

For anyone who wants to root their phone. I still highly suggest the FuxkDocomo.apk. Just make sure to temp unlock the phone and not permanently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blitzed_Penguin:
Area Mail

I am using a SC-04D with google's stock Yakju 4.1.1 and docomo's Xi service. Is there anyway to get "Area Mail" (disaster alert) and MMS services to work with this phone on Xi and Stock 4.1.1 ROM. I am also using the Xi APN mopera.net.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wcmaxi:
I went through the process using latest CM 10.1 and the associated gapps. On wifi everything is a dream, but docomo seems to ignore it now. Tried changing the APN with no effect.

Is this the IMEI issue? What's the solution?

Some additional notes for later builds of Cyanogenmod

NOTE!

If you are trying to root your Galaxy Nexus to a Cyanogenmod version later than 9, there are a few things to keep in mind:

*For some reason, newer versions of Clockwordmod (current as of writing is 6.0.4.7) do not work to flash CM9. They do work with CM10 and CM11.

*I used TWRP to install CM9

*If you are looking to SIM unlock your DoCoMo Galaxy Nexus (by using the F**kDocomo apk), you must do this with CM9. It will not properly unlock your SIM with CM10 or 11.

*To unlock your SIM properly, first install CM9 using this guide, unlock using F**kDocomo, then upgrade to CM10 or 11. The sim still be unlocked.

This guide was an awesome help to me in rooting my old Galaxy Nexus, but if you want newer CM builds like 10 and 11, please heed the warnings above!

hi all,

i was on KL3, rooted, then KIES kept bothering me so i thought i'd upgrade to the new LA3 i think....

then the thing crashed and now all i get is the Firmware upgrade encounted an issue. PLease recovery mode in Kies and try again.

problem is, i cant get it to go into recovery mode?!??!?! (volume up, power?)

nothng works, KIes cant detect it, and cant upgrade anything, i am a total noob, and can only get into ODin mode..

HELP please?!?!?

what do i need to do, please step by step, what to download, what to press and whether i need to get a micro sd to install some firmware?

thankyou - urgent help needed!

Just flash another firmware (why not the latest) and everything will be just fine.

I'm afraid this has to do with corrupted memory partitions. It's what devs called 'superbricks' if I'm not mistaking...

You could try a ROM with a PIT file, hoping that would repartition any bad sectors.

Again, I could be mistaken. Try to read some other threads around here. A lot of.others have also encountered this problem

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You mean download mode because you want to flash a new rom, or do you mean something else? You can boot into download mode by pressing the volume down and home button while powering on the phone, or on CM7 you can go to the power menu by pressing the power button when phone is on, choose reboot, then download.

How do I relock my Xperia Mini Pro? I unlocked it through the official way on the Sony Website and wanting to relock it now. I reflashed my phone to stock ROM with stock KERNEL and want to lock the bootloader. I downloaded Flashtool and now I don't know what to do. Should I use Flashtool or S1tool? Please help, thanks

Plus, Flashtool is not recognizing any drivers I have installed, I installed my phone's driver using Gordan Gate's which I got from WontanServer. Will I have to install the drivers manually?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
If you used official method, you will need this file, attached to my post, inside the .rar file, and Flashtool. Just place the .ftf file in Flashtool/firmwares folder, then open Flashtool, flashmode and pick the relock_bootloader.ftf file. Make sure your phone is in Flashmode also.

About drivers...I cannot remember, which drivers did I install...

One qeustion by my side: After relocking the bootloader, is it posiible when you send it to the servis to be detected that the bootloader has been unlocked (or maybe that the device has been rooted) previously? I have relocked the bootloader and done repair with Pc companion so everything is like before well.....except that before i did a root with flashtool and didn't knew that the stock firmware isn't rootable like that and i lost 3G!!!!!!...now i must set to 2g in order to get signal coz i get with 3g weak signal and when i make a call it drops off. That's why i want to send it to the service :p

I knew that your post had nothing to do with relocking patrida:D If you unlocked your phone with sony's official method you loose your DRM even if you relock it.Now, about the service, i highly doubt they gonna search if you unlocked it but i can't swear about that.There is also another method unlocking your phone without loosing DRM but didn't tried it and i don't know if they can detect it or not;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] babis01:
Now i get it.. you loose your DRM the exact time you ask them to provide you unlock code!

So,no matter what you do afterwards they allready know which device is unlocked and which is not.. sosta thessalonikie mou?? ;)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BudgyN1:
My phone now is locked and to check if your bootloader is locked or not, download S1tool. Open S1tool and click "Identify" and then follow the onscreen instructions. When your phone's information comes up it will say "R(some numbers and letters)". If you have a capital R means your bootloader is locked, if you have a small r means your bootloader is unlocked.
