I was able to get the unlock.bin from the guy who sold me my One X off Craigslist. I have seen the various guides on how to upgrade one's firmware. Now, in order to upgrade my firmware, do I need to be able to open that file? (I tried to open it and it says that my computer cannot read that type of file) Or, do I just need to have it (and not open it) in order to "point to it" in the upgrade process?

I'm aware of my CID and my corresponding firmware and I did read that guide (several times as I'm a technological idiot, lol) and I was not sure if it was saying that I need to be actually able to open that unlock code or it could just sit in the folder I assign it to as is. I did not want to get that part of the process and realize I did not have proper access to the code and then be in a world of hurt.

Thanks for your reply. I'm getting this ****, slow but sure.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bamamac82:
I have the nexus s 4g flashed to boost mobile. it has ran great for over a year now. i have flashed many roms and kernals to it and it has worked like a charm with only the occational hickup. but a few weeks ago when i would power it down and change may battery it would start to get stuck on the google screen. i could pull the battery a few times and it would eventually take off and work fine for a few day and then do it again. this last time it done it i cant get it to go past the google screen for nothing. i can get into the fast boot mode and also into clockworkmod touch recovery but when i go into flash zip from sd it say error loading sd, when i plug it into my computer it conects when in fastboot but i cannot access my sd memory at all. i tried the pdanet but it wont work due to no access to the sd. i downloaded the program wugs nexus tool kit and tried to flash stock and unroot with option bootloop / soft-brick in my boot loader. the program seems like it is working, it takes control of my phone restarts bootloader a few times then says restarting your now stock phone, but my phone just sits in bootloader. i have tried to manually reboot system and it just goes to the google screen and stops. when i power on my phone the google logo comes up, flashes away for a split second then pops back up with the leds at the bottom of my phone on this time but thats all i can get. please help i dont know what to try next. let me know if any of you have had this problem before and what you did to get it fixed. Please help i miss my Nexus...

Get Jedi mind trick x2 most stable Rom on the Samsung galaxy s2 T989 T-Mobile you can do it there
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ruphskunk:
May I present some pure speculation?

After flashing the new ROM did you restore the Android ID? Now, I have no idea what this Android ID is, but when I use Titanium Backup to restore my apps after flashing a new ROM, it always warns me that my Android ID has changed and that it may affect the ability of the play store to know that this is the same phone as it was from before the flash. My speculation is that the play store has the billing tied to a specific Android ID.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hype As Fruck:
The Sith, Jedi Mind Tricks, Jedi Knight, Darthstalker, Xtremeperia, Bulletproof, Beast made... All these ROMs have no problem with sending billing to T-Mobile in the Play Store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcnbama:
I have been using various TW based ICS Roms for sometime. Darkside, Infamous, etc. I have been so excited to use Jelly Bean and try out project "Butter" I notice there is an official stable release for Cynogen mod 10. Is it time to flash? I get anxiuos about it because I delt with an old HTC HD2 for a year and there were lots of "work arounds" and such. It became rather annoying. So I really like BLN notifications, and having a camera that "Just Works" and decent battery life etc. Are these things I am going to sacrifice. And also, if I wait until there is an official release of JellyBean for our device over the next couple of months would we see more stable builds shortly thereafter? Would it be worth waiting another month or two? or is time for JellyBean? Just curious what folks thoughts are about this? Who is using what? How it works etc? I am really looking for a DD something I can be happy with awhile. I can always just do a Nandroid and hope for the best I guess lol. Thanks for any input!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
There is no project butter for this phone yet. We still don't have Jelly Bean official GPU drivers from Qualcomm yet :-/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skaroger867:
I would definitely try a jb rom I was hesitant at first,but now I wouldn't go back. On the liquid rom and it runs great.

I believe the camera will depend on what gapps you flash, I'm using the justun bean gapps. Bln works fine and battery life is good ( I'm using the kko kernel)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Falco:
Get Jedi mind trick x2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wmblalock:
Definitely try CM10!!

You will fall in love.

I know exactly what you are saying about being hesitant because you want something that just works, without a bunch of additional issues to fix.

I always seem to find problems with other other roms that push me into looking for something else, NOT HERE!

CM10 is just so polished, It even fixes things that didn't work in any TW rom for me such as being able to send / receive MMS while connected to wifi.

It even has BLN built in and activated from the start.

I must say that CM10 + T989 = THE BEST phone experience I have EVER had with any phone.

I was getting so sick of going through so many wrongs, always to end up having to settle with some negative.

Everything just works with CM10 on our phone, and works well at that.

I finally dove in with the nightly CM10 builds about 2 months ago and now the official CM10 release.

Not a single lock up, force close, reboot, glitch or problem here in the last 2 months.

Battery life is really good, phone is smooth and fast, and most importantly it's super functional.

Everything works so much better for me than with any of the TW roms.

I love how CM10 is minimalistic and fast, yet has so many functional improvements and additions.

In my opinion it is hands down the best rom for our phone.

I think the fact that there is an entire team of developers working on CM is what makes it so good, it's not just dependent on one person like most roms.

Flash CM10... fall in love with your phone all over again!!

And after you flash CM10, flash this GAPPS http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip

I haven't had any problems whatsoever.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcnbama:
Well thanks for all the input. Especially in regards Cyanogen Mod 10. I may try that very soon. I'm excited about Jelly Bean! May be time to make the switch...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wmblalock:
With how easy it is to do a backup/restore of phone these days, I find it easiest just to backup what I have and dive in to a new rom because the worst case is that you have to spend 5 minutes for it to restore if you don't like the new rom. Good luck! Hope you enjoy it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcnbama:
My only concern with that is that I once did a Nandroid backup and restore on this phone and Root Explorer lost its ability to be "rooted", I couldn't change the r/w option...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wmblalock:
I guess there is always the chance for a glitch, but usually it works fine, at least I haven't hit any yet :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcnbama:
So I did it ! ! ! ! I like it so far. The aesthetics are very nice and I did miss the customization of Cyanogenmod. The only thing I notice right off is the BLN notification is craaazy. Doesn't really work. I have adjusted the setting to "always on" and other things. I even downloaded the BLN notification app. the settings also do not stick, it blinks even though I have it set to always on. Any thought on this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jester6:
Have you tried a different kernel? I'm using king kangers .12 on my phone and BLN works perfectly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wmblalock:
I'm not really sure. I never installed bln or tried to customize it, I just left it stock where all the buttons blink when I get a notification.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcnbama:
Thats a good idea. I just read in the Cyanogem Mod Stable notes that the kernel was tied into the ROM very tightly especially with project butter. Whatever that means. So maybe I will try another kernel. Do you use an app or just the system settings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jester6:
Been using ROM toolbox, the performance settings don't seem to stick otherwise.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skaroger867:
Yea I had to use it on the liquid rom. I ended up using it for it's other features too. Rom tool box is a great app!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcnbama:
Had the ROM about 2 days and I do love it. Everything really seems to work better. Even some games run smoother. I am running the hotcakes kernel. I couldn't find the kang one. BLN still seems funky but it'll do. Battery is a little worse but I've been playing with it alot. Overall I definitely like it. Can't wait for 4.2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wmblalock:
I'm glad you like it! It made my phone so much better. I thought battery life was not as good at the start too, but now I think it was just because I had been playing with it so much. Seems fine now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcnbama:
So I hope I didn't speak too soon. I've been having alot if trouble with the video recorder and camera wanting to force close with the message "Gallery has stopped responding" also when I call out sometime I just don't hear anything.. Kinda weird. The people on the other end don't hear me either... Is this a know Cyanogen Mod 10 issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wmblalock:
I have not had any issues with the gallery,camera, or video recorder whatsoever. In fact, I took over 200 photos and 10 videos at a concert this weekend. I haven't seen any issues with it in the CM10 thread either, so I know it's not a common CM10 problem. Are you running the stock CM10 camera, or have you tried flashing the 4.2 camera? I know the 4.2 camera has some issues, thus why it's not stock on CM10 yet. I would say, try clearing your camera / gallery cache. If that doesn't work, you may have a bad flash. Make sure you wipe data / reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache, flash the rom, flash gapps, clear cache / dalvik again, fix permissions, then boot into CM10. Never had a problem doing it this way. I'm using 2.2.2 (i think) TWRP touch recovery. As far as the outgoing call issue, I have not had that issue either. Occasionally someone can't here me when they call me, or I can't hear them, but not very often. I had this issue on stock and every rom though.I think it's just a Tmobile issue. I'd say try some different radios. UVLE1 has been good to a lot of people.

- Mike
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcnbama:
Thanks. I'm not sure what happened. I flashed UVLH1 for the infamous rom. Maybe I ought to switch back. The only special thing I have done is flash the Center clock mod. Running stock camera though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wmblalock:
Maybe the clock mod goofed it up, not sure. I'd try re flashing in the manner I suggested earlier, try different radios and run it without any mods for a while to see how it goes. I know the camera / gallery problems you have aren't normal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcnbama:
Well, I have a Nandroid I did pre - center clock mod so if it keeps up ill just restore that. Maybe it was a fluke. I'll give it a day or two and try to heavily use the camera and recorder.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thinko:
Hi Folks,

Just thought I'd throw this out here, I spent a good portion of my day digging through forums, ussd/mmi codes, tools, and hex editors trying to find a way to SIM Unlock my Bell S3 (I747M). I eventually 'gave in' and paid an eBay seller $8.00 to unlock my phone through a remote control application and USB network redirector (Successfully, although I never did get the actual SPC code from him even though I asked several times).

For security and isolation reasons I used a clean Windows 7 VM in VMware Workstation 8 with just the Samsung Drivers (from mskip's S3 toolkit (Qualcomm version) -- THANK YOU!!), the remote control tool, and the usb redirector to allow the remote 'tech' to do his work.

I ran a USB Logger tool (from the same vendor that makes the redirector) outside the VM on my host PC and had it capture the complete unlocking process from initial USB plug-in to post-unlock power-off.

I also grabbed images of the EFS partition (using dd) and the NVRAM (with QPST Tools) before and after the unlocking process.

I would expect the most 'useful' to furthering the secret of this unlock would be the delta of the NVRAM images, but alas while I have carefully looked it over a couples times, I don't see anything that looks to be the 'smoking gun'. I will follow-up this post with the relevant snippets as I'm sure there are many of you that may have more experience digging through this than I. Perhaps if someone else can send/post a similar delta, seeing the 'mutual' differences may again shed light on which areas to focus on in further detail.

Analyzing the USB communications may also give us a better understanding of if there are commands or processes we can use in making our own tool to remove this SIM lock.

FWIW, I'm using wxHexEditor for the dump comparisons.

Waiting that somebody posts it's nvram dump (or that I find a device), did you try to make another dump of your nvram and compare it once again with those you already have ? It might help to discriminate some areas found by the first diff.

Edit : Also I've seen a thread called "free SIM unlock n7105", seems that a hidden Samsung menu allows note 2 unlocking. As its really easy to use, perhaps somebody should ask them to make a nvram dump before/after so that we have more material to work on (assuming the simlock is located in the same place)

So that you can put another carrier SIM in your phone. Mine is locked to at&t so if I travel abroad I can't use another service. Further more, if I sell it, I can only offer to other at&t users which reduces it's value.

I successfully unlocked my phone by following the unlock trick at this thread. This works on the UCLH9 firmware. Here is how I did it.

1. Use Mobile Odin Pro to flash LEM firmware (root injected).

2. Downloaded Voodoo OTA rootkeeper.

3. Backed up root.

4. Upgraded to UCLH9 through AT&T OTA update.

5. Restored root via Voodoo OTA rootkeeper.

6. Followed the previously mentioned thread's instructions. (DO EXACTLY AS WRITTEN! When you have to wait the 30 seconds and 1 minute, do so!)

7. Reboot.

8. Shut down, pop in a different sim and verify if it worked. If not, try again.

I advise you to backup your IMEI thru QPST before doing this. Back up your IMEI again once your successful. You could help this community by providing hex values. I will very soon.
