I'm currently using paranoid android ROM and I'm told I can't unlock my device using a ROM that's not stock

is it safe to just flash to it from cwm or are there other steps I need to add?

oh and by the to what would be the ROM I'd need to flash for stock as I do not have my att one that came with my device
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flappjaxxx:
Stick a different carrier sim card into the phone and it should still prompt you to unlock it regardless of ROM.

I am not stating this as fact but that has been my experience unlocking phones. Reverting to stock may be required.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xsessive:
I was told that on an other thread which seemed seemed odd at the time but decided to ask anyways

I'll do just that thanks man
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I said that about stock. cellphoneunlocker.net said stock. The remote guy doesn't say stock, but he asks you to type in some dialer codes to see if you are stock-ish. At&t expects stock.

Like Flapjaxxx said, before you do anything try another carrier's sim and see if the network control screen is what you see at booting. If you do, good. Enter the code and enjoy.

Several users of non-stock roms said they never got the network control screen when they booted, but they got a status alert saying incorrect sim, so they tried to enter the code in the dialer but the phone stayed locked. So they went to stock and got it done.

Try it and see. You can't break anything. And sorry if you feel I was misinforming anyone. I always try to give the safest answer I can.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XanoZuke:
Hello everyone!

I have a serious problem with my Wi-Fi Only Galaxy Tab. It came with Froyo out of the box and I tried installing GB via ODIN but in the middle of the process, my computer turned off because of a blackout and my tablet was in download mode with the big "DO NOT TURN OFF" warning. The process wouldn't resume after I got my computer back on and I had to turn off the Tab. The problem is that now it won't turn on, when I press the power button (long enough, about 10 seconds) the LCD turns on in black and if I let go of the power button it goes back off. Tried connecting to the PC but nothing happens, tried charging for more than 4 hours and still got nothing.

HELP PLEASE!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benem3000:
So to get this straight... you cant go into downloading mode or recovery? Even if it doesnt display it on the tab... try holding power and volume down while odin is open (reinstall the drivers too) If that doesnt work then I believe you sir have a hard brick and have messed up your bootloader. If that's the case i just saw a post about a service that fixes them for 50$ somewhere on the gt7 forums...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hirorir:
As far as I'm concerned,

A lot of people would fall under the exception "`(d) Exception- Subsection (b) shall not apply to the manufacturer of a mobile device or a person who repairs or refurbishes a mobile device unless the manufacturer or person knows that the mobile device or part involved is stolen.'."

since the phone (hopefully) is not stolen. You can consider yourself as the person refurbishing your own phone.

Then again, you're probably not going to find the information you want (I want it too) on this site, or any other site out there, because it will have international repercussions (other countries explicitly make IMEI modifications illegal).

Then again, I find it stupid that information on "how to do this" is not widely available - information for a lot of "illegal" stuff is already widely available ._.

Maybe some nice guy out there will start fiddling around with android's IMEI systems, and let us know about it. After all, the IMEI is something the manufacturer maintains, and corporations use, not something that the government enforces. Technology (and pretty much everything else) moves along way too fast for the political system to catch up to it.

next google search? I've tried... can't get any straight answer so far

(the bill makes "modifing IMEI" = federal crime... which suggests it's NOT a federal crime right now to modify IMEI......?)

could still be a state/local crime (unlikely), or something that's covered under civil law and not criminal

@mods, this thread is healthy discussion about whether it's legal/illegal to modify IMEI (in USA), not a "how-to modify IMEI tutorial"... dont close it, move it to general topic?

source?

(I want something like the Congress bill posted above, but something that's actually active or passed by Congress)

I just see "oh, its illegal..."... who said it was illegal?

Is there some explicit law against it?

Or some cursory FCC regulation that might prohibit it, and was never explicitly outlawed, or there was a court case that set precedence for it?

As I said, if we need a bill to make tampering IMEI a federal crime,

this means it's currently NOT a federal crime to modify IMEI?

----- part 2 of my google sleuthing-----

According to FCC Section 22.919, modifying ESNs is illegal...

However, ESN and IMEI are not the same (ESN identifies both the physical phone AND the phone subscriber, while IMEI only identifies the physical phone, with the SIM card providing the phone subscriber identifier)

Also, FCC 22.919 was repealed in 2003

example: In UK, it is illegal due to this Mobile Telephones (Re-programming) Act 2002 passed in 2002.. but then there's a loophole (i can modify IMEI if I created the device, or the manufacture allowed me to)... (I havent read any of the amendments to see if those loopholes are changed)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholson317:
Illegal?

While I am sorry for your loss meleii, that was simply a bill that didn't make it past a senate vote....much like SOPA and CISPA. While I am glad that a murderer was brought to justice, that isn't the purpose of the IMEI, any more that a session cookie is to keep you from cheating at online games. It helps sometimes, but that's incidental to it's actual purpose.

I can think of several reasons that someone might want to change their IMEI, like having a smartphone but only wanting a voice plan, or for that matter using a tablet's IMEI to have a data only plan. If you've made the jump to full on internet communication (Skype, SIP and the like) then a voice/text plan is simply a subsidy for everyone else's usage.

That being said, it is illegal in several countries, most notably the UK. It is also against every carriers EULA, but so is almost everything that is done in these hallowed halls....like wifi and bluetooth tethering without paying for a plan that includes it, installing software OSs on devices that were never intended to have it, or releasing the DRM deathgrip on content.

Saying that something is bad, wrong, immoral, or even just a piss poor idea that is bound to cause headaches for yourself and damage the image of the modding community is one thing, but to say something is illegal without being able to produce a law doesn't hold up.

If anyone does find the text prohibiting this in the wild, like buried in the text of the DMCA, or in an obscure FCC regulation, I stand ready to apologize and take back everything I've said.

Like any useful tool, it's only as good or bad as the people using it. I've used my lock picks to help friends get into their homes when they got locked out, and thieves use them to get into peoples homes to steal. I don't condone or make excuses for people dealing in the stolen phone market, but they aren't the only reason for this to exist.

Hello guys :(

alright,as the tittle says,im currently on Resurrection Remix 3.0.5 JB

my problem is the web browser and im having several issues with it

1- Web page reset back to google/default whenever im out from browser,

for eg ; let say you're currently browsing xda,then there's a notification or sms coming and you check on it,return back to the browser and the page will reset back to google

2- Multitab and using bookmark wont work

you open one tab let say youtube,then you add another new tab,go to your bookmarks for new website let say xda. the youtube tab will disappear.

its like using any bookmarks will replace any tab you have and it will back to only one tab again. I cant even switch between two webpages since it will override one another

on browser setting ,i already tick

-open in background (open new tabs behind current tab)

-Allow multiple tabs

and none of them works.. am i the only one facing this issue or am i missing some setting :crying:
