[General Questions and Answers] jbb1234:
Hi guys...I wish I could post this question in the original thread, but I'm new and can't do that.

I've been following this board for awhile, there's alot of good info.

My issue is I've tried the Free Unlock method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2014982

But now I'm getting MM6 error when I try to insert a TMobile (Simple Mobile) sim card. I've verified that sim card works in a different unlocked phone.

I've searched that original thread for MM6 and nothing came up.

I've searched this forum for MM6 and it's a bunch of folks talking about the blacklist and calling out the OPs as theives.

I have recently purchased a Galaxy Note 2 off CL. Couple days later it cut off, blacklisted...insurance fraud by original owner. Long story short, I was able to get ATT to call the "original owner" and question him, at the same time I informed the person who sold it to me that my office where he delivered it has him, his car and license tag on video from about 8 different cameras....so the next day it was *off* the ATT blacklist :cool: . The phone has been working fine for the past couple weeks on a ATT PrePay Go account. It also works with my wife's ATT iphone sim.

Now I'm trying to unlock it to go with SimpleMobile, or Net10 on Tmobile's towers. I did the method listed in the thread above, but when I put in the simplemobile sim, it gives the MM6 error message.

I called ATT to confirm it's off their blacklist. I called TMobile to confirm it's off their blacklist.

Did I botch the unlock....is it now permanently locked to ATT? Maybe these guys fooled with it before I got it...Is it worth it to buy an unlock code at this point? What are my options?

Again, sorry I can't post in the original thread. Maybe someone that reads this can point one of those experts to this post.

Thanks for your help in advance

p.s. - if you read this post, see 'mm6' and immediatly reply that i'm a thief and should be banned....i'm going to slap yo mamma :silly: .

And for the record..that darn blacklist is stoopid....it dosn't help anyone get their phone back, it dosn't discourage thieves, it damages the used phone market which in turn inflates the new phone market....no law enforcement involvement is required to blacklist a phone, and there is apparently no law enforcement involvement in the US at all....and there is no enforceable process to legitimately transfer "full ownership" of a device to someone else....just stick it into a drawer and send another $600 of our GDP to China...GREAT!!!

It's like the original owner of my car reporting it stolen to his insurance company (after selling it to me) and then the car just stops working and no shop will fix it, and the insurance company pays him off no problem and dosn't even want to hear from me, and the police don't care because it hasn't actually been reported stolen...WTF!?! anyways...that's my rant....and now I can't unlock this darm thing...
[General Questions and Answers] jbb1234:
Update:

I was able to call ATT and get the unlock code.

But when I put in the TMobile SIM, it's not asking for an unlock code.

I saw a video on Youtube where they swiped upwards from the bottom to show the screen asking for the code.

The ATT guy also said if I didn't see the unlock prompt, I could do it manually via the dialpad. He said enter a series of numbers and # * etc.:

#<numbers>*<numbers>*<unlock code>#

I did that and nothing.

I know from the 'Free Unlock' thread, that hitting the last # at the end is basically like hitting 'Enter' and it goes to the next screen.

But this just stays on the dialpad after I hit # and nothing happens.

thanks for anyone's help
[General Questions and Answers] jbb1234:
Update:

Samsung support said they do not support fixing this issue. They said they will not assist at all with an unlocking issue, I need to ask ATT

ATT said they can't do it either. She said the 'unlock date' was listed as NA. Meaning the phone was not eligble to be unlocked. I re-emphasised that ATT gave me the unlock code. doh.

It's not asking for an unlock code. How the heck am I supposed to unlock it?!?

So, let me know what rom are you using with kernel if you guys can help me. I'll appreciate it! Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RnRexpress3423:
There really isn't one good one. There are tons of great ones and to be honest all of our phones are pretty different chipset wise believe it or not so what rom may seem good for me might not be good for you. I personally switch between frostys and darthstalker which are both pretty good on the battery. You want better battery? Buy an extended battery for $20-$25 and you'll never complain about having to charge again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Look at my resource guide, in my signature or stickied in general. We don't know how you use your phone so we can't tell you how your battery is going to be. Try yourself, and mess with settings for your needs.

Look at mt3g's Bible thread. That is why it is there.

All ROMs are subjective. Nandroid and flash them and see. Read the OPs and last 10 pages in the thread for bugs and whatnot. Like what you see? Grab a drink, sit down and start reading.

Hi all, sorry for my English, I am Italian and use google translator.

my problem on my htc desire s is that you can install only certain types of rom indeed to be precise only Sabsa Prime. for flashing the rom I use the method with the cmd function by flashing the boot.img of the rom itself
[HTC Desire S] Xtreme.Infinity:
I was having same problem in vice versa manner... When I switched yo CM, I couldn't go back to sense roms anymore...

What "I" did was flashing EXT4 Recovery and then while flashing I have to choose "Format all partitions except sdcard"

same problem

Good day to all dev and to the community,

first of, i know this is not the right thread to post but im kinda desperate now.

i purchase a phone which is optimus ex su880 (nearest family is su660)

i tried updating using the LG updater but unfortunately i bricked my phone.

right now, i can no longer boot to S/w / normal mode and my only solution is to flash it via NVflash.

but my problem is, because of the lack of support for this phone. i cant find any image or .bat file to re install the ICS rom back.

now, my question is if we can create a .bat file/image from a Stock KDZ rom?

i can boot to APX but i have no firmware to flash.

your exeperties is highly appreciated.

i already spent 3 days looking for an answer but to no avail...hope you can enlighten me.:confused:

as long as your phone can enter recovery mode, you may 'nvflash' CWM recovery directly and then flash CM rom. this would unbrick your phone. here is the post but written in Chinese

Hey guys,

first of all I want to say that I haven't got a xperia play yet, just a X10 :D

So I found a very (!) cheap xperia play in ebay (the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-Ericss...204&pid=100015&prg=1085&rk=1&sd=170881480370&),

so the problem is that I'm from Austria and this phone is activated just for Verizon users.

My question is, can I unlock this phone because I am not a Verizon user lol..

If I'm spamming, please delete this post, thanks :)

You can make a unlock code request to orange by calling their customer care executive.But i don't know how much they are charge to unlock your Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 phone.But they will ask you to wait for some days or even some months to provide unlock code.Also they won't

give the code at free of cost.So better you can get the code from online provider like Theunlockarena.com .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugatty:
Hello,

i found a way to root without flashing anything on my galaxy s2, but i was wondering if:

rooting without flashing voids the warranty?

looking in Settings>About at kernel line there is this: "3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505 se.infra@SEP-94 #3" and i remember the first time i bought the phone that is was something with root@dell, can this change cancel my warranty too?

note: i always had stock roms and custom binaries are 0 and it's samsung's official

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Rooting voids the warranty. Period.

However. If you need to return the phone for warranty service, if you unroot it, go back to a stock rom that's actually been released by Samsung, reset the flash counter & do a factory reset, the experience on here says you have a fair chance of getting warranty service. But this is not an absolute guarantee.

If you want to keep your warranty 100% guaranteed, don't mess with your phone. At all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugatty:
Thanks,

so if i un-root and factory reset i should be allright? and the kernel shouldn't affect that, right?

So - I was running CM10.1 and decided to flash back to GB to update profile and PRL since its been awhile. After updating - I noticed I was on PRL 12126.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darfito:
Hi guys!

I'd like your wisdom to help me with this issue. I updated from 2.3.4 to 4.1.2 stock (I9100XWLS8_I9100FOPLS3_FOP Spain) via ODIN and after that, rooted with PhilZ (PhilZ-cwm6-XXLS8-FOP-4.00-b22-signed) via recovery.

The point is that everything was smooth and perfect. The problem was when the battery reached a low level, the screen dimmed (as usual) but the dim started to blink and the phone turned off itself suddenly.

I restared the phone pressing the power button and first the Galaxy SII screen (black and white) as usual, then the Samsung logo (the colorful one) but after that, again the Galaxy SII screen and it stucks there. I had to release the battery to turn off and turn on again, but at the second time (and following), it stucked just at Galaxy SII screen and I can't do nothing.

I could enter to PhilZ recovery and the only way to restore the phone was wiping everything, ie to format /data ... (I tried first to wipe just both caches and no way, I had to wipe /data). If I do that, the phone boots normaly and starts the first setup.

But it happened exactly the same once again: I was all day with the phone (installing everything again), but once the screen dimmed, the phone got unstable and finally it powered off itself, so I have no idea what can I do. I'm thinking to flash back to 2.3.4 (smooth and no one problem with it). Btw, the second time it happened, I turned on the phone and I could see the lock screen just for a second (I was shouting "hurry") but then it went back to Samsung SII screen and stucked there. So it's something that happens on the first boot, I think...

I think something is corrupting /data but I don't know cuz I'm not an expert. Any similiar problem like this? I couldn't find nothing like this on the net.

Thank you in advance.
