[Q] Repeated "network unlock request unsuccessful" message even after unlocking

[Note, I do not have root (it caused too many weird glitches and I missed OTA updates).]

I have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM originally locked to O2 UK. Months ago they provided me an unlock code and unfreeze code. When I entered it, the phone unlocked. But often, when changing SIM cards, I'd need to enter the code again. No big deal.

A few months ago it took several reboots and inserting the original SIM before the phone would unlock, but randomly it did.

Now I am stuck overseas, and have been trying for 2 days to unlock this piece of ****. The exact same code will not work. The unfreeze code will not work. I even just paid $25 to an unlock website, and the just sent me the same codes, so the codes are definitely right.

I have tried all of the unlocking instructions in their email. Nothing is working.

None of these instructions work. No network unlock screen appears. I believe this feature does not work with this phone:

Method #2 Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE# (8 digit unlock code)

OR

Method #3 Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #0111*UNLOCKCODE# (8 digit unlock code)

OR

Method #4 Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press #7465625*638*# Once prompted for code, enter the 8 digit Unlock Code.

When I insert a non-compatible SIM card, it asks me for the unlock code, then says "Network unlock request unsuccessful". If I try the unfreeze code, it gives the same message. Then I try the network unlock code again and it gives the same message again.

I have tried everything in the email they sent me, but nothing works.

I refuse to format my phone for this! I have so many settings that would be lost.

Is there anything you can do to help me get this working, or explain to me the correct digits to dial in the dialer to get the mysterious "network unlock screen" to appear? I repeat, the digits above such as #7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE# do not work.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
Thanks. May I ask why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kachman:
thought i could help you unlock it directly without need for unlock code, but just found out it needs more than just a usb cable. I am helping out other guys via remote usb connection.

In your case, I cant really help coz ur phone is new on the playground so it needs sophisticated methods to direct unlock it.

I know this forum is infested with many such warnings and/or desperate shouts for help. However, after having a quick look at the brick cases, all are having one thing in common- they tried to go to GB ROM via PC odin.

So guys, especially the novices out there, if you do not know what you are doing, may be you should sit tight until things get sorted out. I am telling you because I'd been there done that, so if you are already on LPY, you would rather stay there than try some odd thing and get your phone bricked.

No, this is not fear mongering post. I am more than happy to be proven otherwise. I am just posting my inference after observing for quite sometime.

In the past few days since LPY as come out I went back & forth from LPY to GB via Mobile Odin several times, also after searching the thread I found that most bricks are Cm9 + LPY kernel related

I think that Odin is pretty safe to use but that is just my opinion and if one is not sure then better not try.

P.s

Still can't decide which is better modified GB or stock ics (LPY)

Can anyone confirm that in his case, flashing stock LPY to stock GB with PC Odin caused a problem for him?

There has been some GB upgrades before the ICS one, and you don't have to really know what upgrade it was, you can say you just connected your Note to your computer, opened Kies which proposed you an upgrade that you accepted.

It's the code of the current ICS Samsung ROM.

For me safest way from LPY rooted kernel is to flash Abyss 4.2 and reboot to recovery wipe and install other roms. i have been doin it to get into stunner, imilka cm9, official cm9 nightlies, Liquid roms and LPY roms by rocket, cricelko, alba no problems BUT NEVER WIPED IN THOSE LEAKED OR LPY KERNELS, if i wan to wipe go to Abyss wipe full install the rom no problems wat so ever

Hi, I have a few noob questions. The Note is my first Android and I'm a bit nervous after flashing from GB to ICS without knowing about the bug until now.

Being on ICS, can I continue to download apps without risk?

Can I do a factory reset? Or should I wait till the next ICS update, then do the reset? (that would save me time to re-download all the apps again).

Are there anything specific I shouldn't do that may risk bricking my phone?

Thanks for your help. :)

I don´t get it.

I´ve read serveral threads and I am more confused and scared than before.

I want to go back to GB and after that to Parandroid, so whats the savest way?

I am on stock LPY with rooted LPY Kernel it shows IML74K.YYLPY.(shown in the picture added)

So what is the safest way for me?

PC ODIN => AbyssNote 4.2 => Boot to recovery => Flash KK9 Stock => Root afterwards?

or

Mobile ODIN => AbyssNote 4.2 => Boot to recovery(automaticly) => Flash KK9 Stock => Root afterwards?

thanks for your help and advice. Since I can´t effort a new mainboard for my phone I want to be on the save side.

Well, for personal experience I can say that I stepped back few times from ICS (LPY) to GB via Odin Pc: no problem at all. On the contrary, flashing a fullwipe pre-rooted GB ROM (LC1 from here thx to Bodivas) revealed being the best way (if not the only way) for downgrading.

When tried non fullwipe roms, my Galaxy Note suffered from fcs at the setup point (i.e. the first step when you boot a new Note).

All ppl I advised to follow my experience found the procedure effective.

Hope have helped someone :)

You should try to avoid things like factory reset, factory reset from recovery... I'd honestly recommend for someone new to Android to stay completely away from a "dangerous" recovery.

As long as you do that and be careful to read all the stickies around here, you'll be just fine! You can download apps, play...whatever u want with your beautiful Note :D

I'm sure that Samsung will come out with a fix soon enough or that our devs will, once the source is made public so probably best if you stick around this one for a while until an update comes along.

NO IT'S NOT. I just flash back to stock GB several days ago. No problem at all. The bug is when you try to wipe from cwm. CMIIW
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Correct. The original poster of this thread doesn't seem to understand cause vs. effect. Nor do they understand the phrase "correlation does not imply causation".

PC Odin failing to flash a partition is an EFFECT of damage already sustained due to the fwrev 0x19 ERASE bug. It is not the cause.

If it were the cause, these problems would've plagued the I9100 starting a year ago when it was released, the I777 starting the day it was released in early October, and this device from the moment it was released at the end of last year.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcasmir:
if your PC still detect your phone (because some ppl have reported 'usb device has malfunctioned' in Windows) then boot into recovery and push back the Stock Kernel for the ROM and CWM will be lost.

You need ADB for this, am sure you have it already, if not go and get it. Don't have the thread so search.

Here is the Code.

adb push C:\location\of\your\stock\zImage /data/local/zImage

adb shell

su

dd if=/data/local/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=4096

rm /data/local/zImage

reboot

Just to be clear; zImage can be found in your ROM's .tar file. Just extract it with 7z windows program and you will find the it there. That zImage is the kernel. This is if you really have to and want to send it back to Samsung.

Alternatively, you could try and fix this yourself see here

If this helps you, you know what to do.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ashren81:
From the Moderator... Please read my Caution in post #27-thanks

First, before flashing the ICS LPY Rom, go back to any STOCK GB according to your liking.

Second, do a full wipe/dalvik/data WHILE YOU'RE ON STOCK GB. Restart/Reboot and start flashing the official ICS LPY Rom on ur device.

Third, since this is not a wipe rom, DONT DO IT. Once booted, RESTORE FACTORY SETTING and WIPE using the ICS OS menu. Not thru RECOVERY or CWMR. As long as u wipe/reset thru the os menu, u should be fine.

Lastly, you'll be greeted with a new device setup wizard and all the premium apps will be installed. It'll take sometime for the premium app to initialize. You'll think u're stuck at the boot screen (samsung logo), but no. Just wait, it could last a good 3 to 4 min before u see the device setup wizard.

For the time being, to avoid bricking, it is not advisable to root or install CWM for this particular release. Some kernel code might have changed making it problematic for CWMR to live side by side.

And if you do decide to root and get CWMR on ur device, DONT WIPE/FACTORY RESET thru stock recovery or CWMR. It is known to mess up ur eMMC. Just DONT.

Hope it helps.

Edit: Shorty66 just posted he bricked his note by doing factory reset from within the os. So far he's the only one at the moment. But numerous members reported bricking their device using CWM recovery & stock recovery. Just to be safe, use the os factory reset rather than recovery. Me myself have used the os factory reset at least 6-7 times as we speak without any issue for the time being.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ashren81:
Entropy covered that earlier. But whatever u do if u're on LPY, avoid wiping under CWM or stock recovery. Get any safe GB cf-root kernel and wipe/reset/flash from there. And dont restore nandroid backup from any leaked ics or LPY kernel. As to stock LPY device, u can just flash back to any stock gb and from there to get to any custom roms or rooted gb.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MamaSaidWhat?:
So just to be clear, as I am currently on rooted LPY ROM + kernel, the safest thing would be to flash CF-Root GB kernel whilst still on LPY? How would this be done? Because obviously CWM functions aren't safe, and flashing a GB kernel (through Mobile Odin) on a ICS build would cause a brick also?

I really hate LPY and I want to get on to CM9 just to be safe, but I'm having trouble figuring a safe way to do so :confused: any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ashren81:

Yeah shorty66 just said he bricked his note using the os factory reset menu. So now we have all method bugged. But I still recommend doing a factory reset from within the os on first boot to clear things out. U wont get the premium apps installed on the first boot if u're coming from any other previous rom because LPY is not a wipe rom. U wont even get the device setup wizard on the first boot. When u do the factory reset, it'll get the premium apps to install upon boot and u get the chance to set the device up using the welcome wizard. I see most people who bricked their device went straight to the recovery and do a wipe from there. Just dont do that, never.
