Telus

i have an i717 with Telus running stock 4.1.2. I add the t898 radio, use the number to enter the service mode but when i press the option Ex.: Debug mode it does not do anything, it sounds but nothing. While i did it in my i727 (i know they are differents phones) and it works. can anyone help me? or do i have the 4.0.1 android version?:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
You MUST be on 4.0.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lechaim:
Using 4.0.4 At&t in telus

Can i use the 4.0.4 ICS from at&t in my telus?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
I would use telus official ics firmware.

Haahahahahaha I just traded my t989 to someone who found this note too big for their liking. I had no idea that other than screen size the are essentially the exact same phone in a side by side spec comparison. The one thing I was iffy about, was that I used the t989 unlock posted in the OP on my t989 and didn't want to lose my unlock. Made the trade, googled it, and voila, same method works :)

Stuck!!! AT&T I717

I was trying to unlock SIM.

Was able to flash the TMO radio zip file.

It said flash was successful.

When phone reboots I get Samsung splash screen, then AT&T splash screen, then phone hangs with black screen.

What should I try next?

Got my phone to boot again. Had to Flash my orig ROM back on phone.

Xda-developers.com is a Great Site!! Learned alot!

If anyone has the same issue I had, do the following.

Put phone in download mode hooked up to PC and run the exe (SGH-I717UCLD3-1FB30D08F1D2B2AAAECF49D262E8E707.exe) found here

briefmobile .com/exclusive-ucld3-ics-leak-for-the-att-galaxy-note

Life saver!!!

Now back to orig task of unlocking SIM.

QUOTE=crixley;37357905]firstly you need to flash the tmobile based ics modem ( flash in cwm or twrp) found here:

then after flashing boot into your rom and follow these instructions exactly (note: after pressing perso shaf256 off I had to press back twice instead of once, but then I was back on the network page and could choose [4] NW LOCK NV DATA INITIALLIZ):

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Nuggz-HTC:
I rooted and installed twrp and then flashed the tmobile modem. My phone acts slow and the service menu only gets me to the first screen, then it wont go to any of the selections.

I flashed the original modem back and the phone runs fine.

Since this is not working for me, for some reason. Is it safe to downgrade to 4.1.1? and do the steps?

Thanks for any help or if anyone else had the issue where the phone slowed down and would not work right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Lord Craigus:
flash fine, but connectivity issues

First of all thanks so much for the FREE unlock very very very much appreicated!

Got everything working, downgraded, flashed, flashed, unlocked. popped a working Tmobile sim in it and it was having problems registering on the network. It would give me the 4G icon but no bars and I would call my phone from the i717, it would connect but couldnt hear anythign on either end. Is this a modem issue possibly and should i try the blaze modem. Just fishing for ideas.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HyperionAlpha:
I'm trying to unlock an AT&T i717 to use with a Cricket sim number. I have the card in place. I have the 4.0.1 installed. I have the T-Mobile radio flashed.

In the service mode SIMULATION menu, I have only the following options:

[1] ERROR FATAL

[2] SW WATCHDOG

[3] HW WATCHDOG

[4] PERSO SHA256 Info

[5] PERSO SHA256 ON

[6] PERSO SHA256 OFF

As you can see the numbering is different for the PERSO SHA256 OFF option, which I guess is what clears the thing? And the NW LOCK NV DATA INITIALLIZ, to initialize or "unlock" the phone, is not an option at all for me. Is this because I am trying to use a T-Mobile radio file with a Cricket sim card? If I got a T-Mobile sim card would this problem go away? Or is there a radio file for Cricket that I could flash that would solve this problem for me?

Edit: Okay, I solved my problem. Here's how.

If you do not get the NETWORK UNLOCK section in your debug menu, or if it is different from what it should be (i.e. if the NW LOCK NV DATA INITIALLIZ option does not appear) then this is happening because you are not using the right T-Mobile radio file. The link in the original post to the T-Mobile radio that you should use did not download for me so I guess it's gone, but if you go HERE you can get the T-Mobile radio that you need: http://depositfiles.com/files/brr3nfk0r

Flash it via TWRP or CWM and then go through the debug menu options, you will easily be able to unlock.

Use the thanks button when someone helps you. It's there for a reason.:o

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] grafton24:
Worked!

After much trial and error, I got it to work. I'm posting my findings in case it helps others.

1. You MUST have the 4.0.4 ROM. I had 4.1.2 originally and could get the menus with the System Menu code, but when I pressed the option nothing would happen. I got it from this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1795384

2. If you forget to flash the TMobile ROM, the menu items will not be the same (network lock will be 4, not 6). Just Exit and flash the modem.

3. If you follow the instructions correctly, you won't see any message to say it worked. In fact, when I went into NW LOCK NV DATA INITIALLIZ, it told me it was an invalid menu. However, my phone IS unlocked. I had a Rogers sim in it (originally a Bell phone) and it worked. Put Bell back and it's still going.

4. Finally, Flash your phone again. Unless you're on TMobile, the modem isn't right for your phone. Don't forget to flash the correct modem for your device/network.

Anyway, hope that helps someone.

Where did u get an unlock code for 3$
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crixley:
thank you for the post.. most Canadian carriers charge like $50 and to unlock a bell note is minimum 35 online. just wanted to save some members either a hassle or a few dollars(or both lol) :)

this method takes like two minutes literally and you're right back to where you were ( even if you're on a jb rom just make a nandroid to go back to) it might even work on jb roms, aren't people using ics modems on jb anyway?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
Just wanted to say that I decided to give it a go and I can report that this method does indeed work on my AT&T Note. It was a little hairy but if you work thru it, it will work. Thanks again, Crixley, for sharing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crixley:
nice that someone gave me a 1 star rating for trying to help out... no wonder people are jumping ship from this device/forum as fast as they can
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vintage144:
Ill give ya 5. Stars ,but I don't care about unlocking mine ,I'm on straight talk and I own the phone,but your right you did good
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mrstone77:
I'm glad it works n thanks for sharing. I just called att n they gave me my unlock code for free about 2 months ago
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
I gave you 5 stars even though I haven't tried this yet...I'm waiting for my phone to start having issues serious enough to warrant a flashing another ROM . I'm currently on jellybam and it's proving to be quite a nice little performer....

But it is still a jellybean ROM, which means at some point it will start with the random reboots and loss of phone function...Once it does, I'll revert to ICS and give this a go.

I am concerned, however about some people reporting having some speed issues after reverting back to the uclf6 modem after flashing a T-Mobile modem...Can anyone share their experiences with this ? I'd particularly like to hear from Bell Mobility customers. I have to think that in a worst case scenario, one could always ODIN back to stock and start over.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crixley:
I don't understand how that would matter..

I'm a rogers user on a bell note and I noticed no drop in speed. Still get awesome speeds
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mpgrimes:
If this does the same kind of unlock as entering in a code. Then it shouldn't matter if you re flash stock. It should stay unlocked no matter what you flash to it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
So you successfully flashed the t-mobile modem, unlocked using this method and then reflashed the AT&T or Rogers modem without issue?

I've been reading posts on t-mobile rom threads that some people were having some funky issues with their modems (connectivity, speed) when reverting back from some T-mobile roms and modem flashes. I've kinda chalked it up to user error but have wanted to make sure as I currently get awesome speeds in the GTA in Bell's LTE areas, and would hate to lose that..

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

I was refering to the issues some people seem to have when flashing between modems. I assume that a complete ODIN back to stock should fix them, even if they are only due to user error..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] peterson65:
worked! thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
I don't see a change in speed. ATT user here. Flashed T-Mo modem and unlocked per OP. Then flashed back to UCLF6 (ATT) modem. No problems for me. Giving Crixley 5 stars.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crixley:
bumping as I think this is important, especially for new users
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
Well, thanks to a snow day , I finally got around to trying this...I'm pretty sure it worked on the first try! I reverted to a padawan backup, flashed the t mobile modem , installed an old T-Mobile sim and tried the procedure.

After the reboot, it did not ask me for a sim unlock key even though I still had the T-Mobile sim in...So I'm pretty sure I'm unlocked even though I have no service on that sim.

Tomorrow I'll through in a co workers rogers sim to confirm..

One note that should be mentioned was that the T-Mobile modem was persistent even after flashing a backup of my jellybam install. Make sure that you have a zip of your existing modem to flash afterwords!

I can confirm that my speeds are just fine after reinstalling the uclf6 modem (20 mBS down 15mbs up) on bell mobility lte. It was slower with the T-Mobile modem (5 down /1.25up) with the signal show in h+.

Thanks again for this crixly!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crixley:
yeah backups never include your radio so you're right you should always have a zip of the modem of your choice!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Hamiltonwbp:
Thanks a lot! I just tried on my Bell i717M and it worked very well. I flashed back UCLF6 modem and didn't see any problem. I tried Rogers SIM card and it worked right away! Great work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
Can this thread be stickied?

It may seem worthless to those on American carriers, but I can assure you that for those of is north of the border, where carriers will not unlock a phone, this information is priceless...

Thanks again crixely...I was finally able too confirm with my buddies rogers sim that my phone is indeed unlocked and that I should have no difficulty popping in as T-Mobile sim when I visit Florida next month..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crixley:
Agreed, I kind of assumed it would be but not much interest was shown initially
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mpgrimes:
Worked great on my bell 717. Flashed newest radio back after. getting great speeds 13Mbps on hspa+ (don't have a lte sim yet) using telus.

Hi I am new to this and wanted to try this method to unlock my i717R locked to rogers. Can you confirm that it will work? Would I get a tmobile rom after this is done? thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crixley:
it works 100% and no tmobile rom, you just flash your old radio back which you can fin in the Canadian rom thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 930929930:
sorry for a noob question....

is it absolutely necessary to flash to a tmobile radio? can it be done without flashing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
While there maybe other modems that will allow you to access the necessary menu options, I can confirm that the uclf6 and stock bell mobility (muglf4?) ones do not...I tried...

The one listed on the post definitely does...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
I agree with crutzulee. It appears that there is some "magic" in using the TMo modem. Just flash your original modem back on after unlocking it. No biggie.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madmorb:
I'm sorry, but I'm new to all of this. How do I back up my current modem so that I can re-install it later? I managed to club my way through rooting and installing a Paranoid JB rom but I don't know how to go about backing up this modem so that I can unlock..I apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ppwlee:
Hi, sorry but wanting to ask for more clarifications and pointer. I am currently with Rogers but according to the baseband version running it is T989UVLE1, can you please point me to the link to the Canadian radio that I need to flash back to? My phone seems fine with the signal, do I expect better signal if I flash back to Canadian radio? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
You can download a zip file of your modem. Search for it.

To other posters with similar questions. Look around and learn. It's apparent that you need to do more reading and educate yourself a little more. Don't expect to be hand fed everything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chp:
Just wanted to chime in that this process appears to have worked for me as well.

Flashed back to a UCLF6-based ROM + the linked radio. An inactive T-Mobile SIM showed the network unlock screen. After the process, the network unlock screen no longer appears. Flashed the UCLF6 radio back and all looks well.

Note Unlock from ATT

I am giving my ATT Note to my daughter - she is on another carrier. Of course I had to by a new Note II. Called ATT and received the Note unlock code. Why? Because the account is not past due, long standing customer, number of phones on the account and I had the Note for more than 6 months.

Excellent. Lots of second hand i717's around lately. Great way to save a few bucks without needing to buy a code from an unlocker service ($20'ish), I know Rogers currently charges $50 to unlock their devices. $35 at Telus, and Bell? Also all with possible dependence of the terms/requirements.

Seems as if this is somewhat similar to unlocking the i317 Note 2 though requiring a few extra steps to accomplish. I certainly plan to use this for a friend who just traded for a i717 Note. Thanks for posting crixley, nice seeing it added to the super everything thread.
