Thanks again for this Crix...Just got back from Florida where I was able to use my Bell mobility note with a T-Mobile sim without issue..It was nice to have full internet for all my devices while I was down there via tethering and Google nav was a treat for my wife on the ride back so she could give my kids an accurate answer each time they asked "how many more hours left?"...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crixley:
Glad to hear man I hope you had a fun trip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PrincessKiwi:
Does this work in a country outside the US? thanks :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
This has nothing to do where you are located. It only matters that you have an I717 variant and you want it sim unlocked.

Edit: Crixley might know better but this may work for other Galaxy phones too since they can flash each other's modems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] a.2mjed.a:
should I install any modem after this one?

I'm using ParanoidKANGdroid 4.2.2

Thanks for the effort :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thatdude02:
Only if you think that a different one would work better for you. There's no real way to say which one will work best for you, so just flash one, test for a bit and repeat if you don't like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] a.2mjed.a:
I'll flash the modem tomorrow cuz I'll go back to my country and my laptop is there in case any issue happen ;)

Is it okay to flash it before I install the update for my current ROM or after the update?

Thanks again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thatdude02:
I would say do it after, but I don't think it really matters that much. If it were a kernel definitely after, but modems survive flashing. Really up to you. Happy flashing :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
If i was to unlock the sim with this method and want to use lets say straight talk t-mobile card would o need to flash the att radio back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Think about what you are asking.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
I would asume no. Just asking to be safe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
You NEED the T-Mo radio for the unlock. Whatever radio you flash back to if you do is totally up to you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] a.2mjed.a:
I turned the phone off then insert the sim card, after that booted to recovery and flashed the modem and then I turned the phone on and clicked DISMISS and went to the dailer and insert this code *#197328640#, but The screen didn't change to the hidden menu as it said in the PO!!

What did I make wrong?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Worked on my att i717 like a charm. Thanx.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] a.2mjed.a:
HOW!? What did you do?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
Flash the tmo radio then do the steps above. Easy peesy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] a.2mjed.a:
The thing is when I put the code in the dailer nothing happens!

The steps says after I insert the last # a hidden menu will show, but nothing happened or showed up!

Or should I click on the call button after I insert the code!?

Going to wait your response and see, if I couldn't do it this way ii all AT&T and ah them for the code.

Waiting it response :)

And thanks for your help, really appreciate it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thatdude02:
Are you on a touchwiz ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
Revert to stock or black star X (What I used) then copy and paste the code into the dialer via internet browser. Then follow the steps and hopefully all goes well :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] a.2mjed.a:
No, I'm on ParanoidKANGdroid v2.3.0 ROM

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------

What's the difference between using black star X ROM or stock and my current Rom?

Going to wait what thatdude02 will say, if nothing help solving it I'll try your way ;)

thanks for helping
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crixley:
only a stock based rom has the codes built in
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thatdude02:
Exactly. I'm on Sons of Android and the codes don't do anything. I think you need to be on a stock Touchwiz ROM so the codes can be entered into the dialer. I unlocked on stock and it worked perfectly.

Basically I suggest a stock or stock-light ROM and try from there. You shouldn't need to Odin back to stock, just something with TW.

Hopefully that works :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] a.2mjed.a:
Which Rom do you recommend, cuz I saw the stock roms only used with Odin! :/

Thanks for your patient and help, really appreciate it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
Use black star X!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thatdude02:
^^ Wouldn't hurt to try that one. Makes it easier than using Odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] santana_pr:
work well for me on my wife Note...back to stock rom, flash t-mo radio and follow the instructions
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] a.2mjed.a:
My Man, this ROM does it :victory:

I just flashed Black Star X and did everything, and KABOOM :victory: It's unlocked now and I make a phone call to test it and it does work

Thank you guys for helping me, I really don't know what to say :);):good:

Who wanna a beer? :laugh:

----

Q/ some ROM already have a modem like Black Star X, if I installed any of them will it be an issue!?

If not, going to flash Sons of Android <<< wanna test it :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
You can flash other modems with no issues.

You need to be rooted, flash a stock ics based Rom and then the radio that I posted and follow the instructions

I am having a problem trying to unlock my At&t i717 (4.1.2), after i instal tmo ics radio it wont enter in [1]DEBUG SCREEN and it works a little bit slower. Can u guys help me out?, why those it do that? Thx!

I'm using a Rogers i717r, its rooted, but not unlocked, on ICS4.04. Rom is "official" except for being rooted, AFAIK.

So, if I do this, how do it get it back to Rogers everything except now unlocked ??

Is that procedure posted somewhere ??

I was told by an unlock code provider that the code wouldn't work on a rooted phone, so want to try this but also want to be sure I can get back to the correct radio and everything that works really well currently....

Any help is appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gn2:
Well, following a soft brick scary experience, I've FINALLY been able to unlock my Note...Had to revert to stock GB2.3.6, then update to a custom ICS after getting CWM to finally work, then rooted, changed radio using CWM, unlocked by following the procedure in this thread, then used CWM to re-flash my radio back to the stock Rogers radio. A day later, I saved the $15., which was the cheapest I could find a purchased unlock code for...

Much, much thanks to the OP for this post, its too bad some of the files for making sure you have the correct ROM and stock radio, etc aren't easier to find, most of my time was spent reading through posts and combing links to find the correct files...I'm still not totally stock ROM, as preferred, but I couldn't find a stock ICS Rogers ROM posted anywhere...

Question: Has anyone confirmed this unlock will remain after updating to latest Jelleybean update ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Unlock is permanent. Updating ROMs will not affect the unlock status.

If you can do the steps and all the selections are there then most likely you can. Could be that only the ATT versions have this blocked or left out.

Android Laying on Back...

I'm trying to unlock my Galaxy Note SGH-I717. I downloaded i7a7-ICS-UCF6 software to my sd card, The phone has Jelly Bean right now. When I press the volume up + volume - & power buttons, I get to the system recovery screen. The android is laying on its back with its chest open, a red triange, and an exclamation point showing.

I can see the file, when I select it, it says E-verification failed. I have the original AT&T card in the phone. It is not activated. I also tried with an T-Mobile sim, got the same results. What do I need to do? I am a noobie at this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:

ATT Galaxy Note Service Mode Is Blank

Hello, noob here. With a fully charged Galaxy Note SGH-I717 phone, I followed the steps in OP, using Superuser. After system reboot, I dismissed the window that asked for unlock code, dialed the code to enter Service Mode.

Service mode is blank, with message "Right-hard key:Back. Please use the menu key". Don't know what right-hard key:back is, however, I pressed menu. The options are: end, back, key-input, select, help.

End = ends service mode, takes me to phone pad

Back = takes me back to blank service mode screen

Key Input = enter value

Select = enter row

Help = help, ok, then nothing

I entered Debug into "Key Input",,,,got nothing but blank Service Mode screen

I entered 1 into "Select Row",....got nothing but blank Service Mode screen

I tried unlocking following the steps in OP, using the i717-ICS-UCLF6-Modem. I got the exact same results. Prior to trying to unlock the phone, whenever I went into service mode, I would see all the options, Debug, etc. There was no Network lock option under phone control, so I decided to try unlocking using OP instructions.

How do I get Service Mode to show options?

Sign up so I could post a reply confirming this method does work on the ATT i717. I reverted back to the stock ATT rom, flashed the T-Mobile ICS modem in the original post and followed the instructions in the Free t989 unlock thread. When the process was complete, I rebooted and did not get the network unlock prompt. I have since flashed my CM 10.1.2 rom back along with the stock ucmb4 modem. It's all good. Wish I would have tried this sooner!

I used SGH-I717-UCLFPS.zip to ICS 4.0.4 successfully. I was able to get into Service Mode. It was populated.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
You don't need to root the phone, but you do need to install a custom recovery such as ClockworkMod Recovery.

If you're using the stock ATT rom, then you will need to flash to the T-Mobile modem. Link is posted on the very first post of this thread.

Just as a note, in case anyone hasn't read Page 2 - You need an ICS Based rom for this. I tried in 4.1.2 and it didn't work. I downloaded the GT-7005 ROM from another thread, flashed in under 3 minutes, and this hack worked right away!

Noob question -

My Note has been updated to JB.

In the OP, is the TMo ICS modem still ok to flash, do the unlock, then flash the att modem back, or do I have to go back to ICS first?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] br0adband:
I just did this myself last night right after I picked up an I717 for a great price with a lot of accessories, and I made that n00b error of not paying attention meaning I tried to do it with JB and of course it doesn't work regardless of what radio(s) you are attempting to use.

You have to flash ICS on there first because the T-Mobile radio(s) are for ICS, you won't be able to program the NV initialization using the instructions till you can actually communicate with the radio to begin with so... that means ICS has to be on there to unlock; after that since the unlock is permanent you can flash whatever the hell you want. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ylwjacket:
Thanks much! Thought that might be the case, but wanted to check.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ylwjacket:
Awesome.

Took me a little while to find a bunch of files, download Odin to flash stock ICS, etc, but worked through it all, and it worked.

I have an AT&T i717. I have an old TMo sim that is not active. After going through the process, it came up with the old sim, and said WTE of "sim not provisioned", which tells me it read the sim.

When I went to settings, it had the phone number attached to the sim as my phone number - it wouldn't even read that prior.

I then put in my AT&T sim (a lot of fun by itself since I had to dig it out my iphone, put into an adapter that doesn't quite fit, etc), and all is good.

Thanks so much!

One problem - and I don't know if it was there before, because I didn't test it - I have outbound, but not inbound data. I can send texts, but not receive, and data inbound is not available with Wi-Fi turned off.

Any ideas on that? I flashed back to the stock at&t radio for ICS, and can make calls.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ylwjacket:
Well, after all of that, I connected to Kies, and downloaded the latest 4.1.2, and all is good now. I have data both ways, and it recognizes the TMo sim and the AT&T sim.

Thanks again to the OP and the others that have posted along the way.

No idea what the problem was, but must have been something not quite right with the stock ICS I flashed.

Anyways, all good now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] br0adband:
You'd be surprised - as you apparently are now - at just how frequently doing things a second time (aka flashing back to stock) seems to cure almost everything whenever little problems crop up. Even though you probably did things right the first time, for whatever reason those little problems just come outta nowhere and pooch things, but the second time around almost always tends to make everything right. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ylwjacket:
True true.

I have an S3 mini, that did the same thing tonight. With it, a factory reset fixed it. Seems to be sort of common with Galaxy devices.

Faulty Charge Port, Is Flash Possible Via SD Card Only?

ATT won't provide me with an unlock code (10+ tries to CSR) and my ebay seller won't help

I don't want to spend $30 & neither is the phone's charging port working with a USB cable. I have changed two of these recently but my last experience wasn't good as the phone developed a "sim card could not be read" error. So I also don't want to mess with that until I have to.

My plan is to

-downgrade to 2.3,

-root using superone click method

-upgrade to ICS

-Unlock

My questions are, is it possible to do all these via SD Card?

Is it possible to flash this Tmo modem vid SD card? My phone charging port is not working with a USB cable. I have 4.0.4 - I717ucmb4.

If I have to upgrade to ICS to use this method/modem is it possible to upgrade via SD Card only?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alejov77:
Hi guys, it's me again the dude of the long post... Please I really need advice to decide what to do after I unlocked my AT&T note, what do I do with the tmobile file I flashed in my phone, does it need to be removed? I'm getting three out of five signal bars, is that normal?. Another thing I did is that I rooted my phone but now I don't know what is the most appropriate rom for my phone so I'm stuck with gingerbread 2.3 and I really want to upgrade it....

thank you for your help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Reinstall your previous radio/modem. T-mobile modem was just for the sim unlock. Yes you can delete the file then.

There are many ROMs on the forum. Only you can decide what is best for you. A little reading goes a long way. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alejov77:
Ok thanks a lot, that sounds fairly simple.

I know it sounds dumb, but I forgot which modem I had, so should I just start trying modems that are traditionally used with this model... ?

And it is because I've read pretty much that I'm a bit of clueless as to which rom to install. I've found several cons when reading comments about some custom roms like "it also requires a kernell installation" or "the s-pen functionality is absent" or in the case of jellybean a lot of people say that it lags a lot, and then you would need to overclock it... anyway I don't really want to get into installing new kernels or another specific thing unless it is mandatory. And on the other hand I know that the stock jb update, while keeping the s-pen apps, does lag quite a bit; so It will have to be through a custom rom... I'll start reading this whole topic to see what the others did after getting their phones unlocked

Just to reconfirm what everyone has already said. This does work. I finally decided to cut the AT&T cord, downloaded the radio and downgraded my rom to 4.0 (Blackstar X), followed instructions and it worked smooth and easy.
