I always suspected it was the same process (with exception of enabling the menu, and obtaining the 337 backup file).

On Bell, certain carriers are listed as EXT (Extended Network) due to certain grandfathered roaming agreements that exist for some clients in parts of Canada. In Ontario, EXT is Rogers.

BTW, IMEI remains in tact with this process.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sonny21:
You got LTE too, Wind LTE? What speeds you're getting?

For IMEI, prob removed IMEI from the qcn which he attached.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] WorldIRC:
No, Bell LTE of course. I'm not a WIND client (I am a T-Mo client so this is great when in the US).

It's a shame all those guys on Kijiji were commercializing on a 5 second process that involved obtaining a file which FastGSM was providing to the public for free. Hope no one ended up paying for those services.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sonny21:
Ok that's why I was confused with the whole LTE showing. I guess once you apply the fix, it shows all compatibile bands which makes sense. Are you technically able to use wind/mobilitty band/tower with your bell sim? I know it doesn't make sense for roaming cost but I am speaking in terms of technicality.

Yeah what's even worst, they all learned it from xda including that guy who posted the kijji ad on this very same thread (ysr84). If everyone were as greedy as them, xda wouldn't be this wonderful open community that is right now. Credit to sjravi and many others who were the ones who came up with this method originally. :good:

there is no *#27663368378# in the i337m, so ill use *#0011# to follow the rest of the instructions. Because I have already set [3] PERSO SHA256 OFF before, there was no Golden-Backup exist.

Did you already try to restore the golden key or delete it by mistake? Either one, don't know why or how to fix that.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] shinku:
Just out of curiosity, is your phone rooted prior to unlocking it? Reason I'm asking is that I have my phone rooted and tried to unlock it, everything went just like the instructions said but I tried virgin's SIM and it said unsupported SIM enter unlock code. However, I tried these steps on my friends S4, also from Rogers with same version and following the instructions just like I did on mine but his is unlocked now. Only difference is his is not rooted and mine is. So wondering if restoring the golden key gets a hiccup on rooted phones and maybe that's why some have successfully unlocked it while others couldn't.

Hence my inquiry

Thanks

If you mean pixelated blocks in the dark areas of video you can alleviate it somewhat by experimenting with colour modes and brightness settings combinations. Overall it is because your screen is too good and reveals the compression video artefacts present in video files more than an LCD does. It's not your phone, it's the file you are watching.

Hey all!

I would like to make mention of an unbelievable launcher from Chris Lacy called Action Launcher. It is like the TouchWiz vertical drawer on steroids. The drawer slides out from the left, with an alphabetical list like how TouchWiz can be configured. It has many groundbreaking features that I have never seen in other launchers and it's very easy/clean/minimalist. For those who don't like tons of homescreens but still like to use widgets, you can doubletap or swipe an app that has a widget, and it will just simply popup until you press elsewhere. (Similar to Overlays only automatic, less customization, and not persistent.) You can even do this from inside folders on your bottom bar. I've took some screenshots of my setup to show it's awesome functionality. Note: This launcher puts focus on ingenuity over raw amount of customization. It is not a replacement for you customization junkies, sorry; however, I've found I simply don't want to customize much anymore - it's all there! I hope some of you find something you like in this. :)

It's a long story. I dropped my XDA and duffed up the screen. Having found that it will cost over £100 to get a new LCD, I thought I would get a new (new to me) XDA from elsewhere. Success I got a new XDA for £110. So I have lots of spare bits!

So here is the question :- Does anyone have detailed instructions on taking an XDA apart nice and safely, without killing the bits inside.

My old XDA had 64Mb the new one has 32Mb so my first job will be to swap out the LCD from the new one to the old one (i ge tthe full 64Mb back then).

Before I do it though, I think it best I find out how to!

HELP! :lol:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] cruisin-thru:
I would advise you to swap the motherboard from your 64 meg xda to the one with the good screen rather than trying to take the screen out. You will need a Torx T6 screwdriver, a flat blade screwdriver and a small crosshead driver. One you have removed the outer screws and sim card you need to run your nail around the seam of the xda until the clips release enabling you to seperate the front and back. It is pretty obvious from there to remove the motherboard, be careful with the flat connecters when releasing them as damage to these is bad news. Before commencing disassembly, push a pin or the top half of unscrewed stylus into the hole bottom right of xda, just one push, this will isolate the battery until you have finished working on the xda, when finished push it once more to get power back.
