[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Percy_ARS:
Not in my case

I am a locked GS4 from fido and I paid 24.99 to get the unlock code from their website. Though the first method they suggested in the email didn't work, but the second worked perfectly. Maybe you just didn't read through their feedback e-mail and followed the entire instructions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] lmsantin:
Awful experience with cellunlocker.net

Be carefull with Cellunlocker.net, they didn't comply with the refund policies.

I bought two codes with them, OrderID::xx4024 and OrderID::xx2763 and at the end the codes didn't work.

They start to send me some instructions to make the codes work but with no success.

Sometimes it seems like the person who answered my emails didn't know anything about my orders. They get me tired sending me the same instructions time after time and asking me for some videos with a "REFUND INSTRUCTIONS" as email header.

Once I realized we were going to nowhere I asked them for my money back as its refund policy in their website, I received nothing. I didn't receive an email with the reason to don't refund me.

I'm very disapointed with cellunlocker.net, they have attended a lot of people but my experience started very well but at the end it was completely awful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] thatsupnow:
I've never used unlock codes ever I only use unlock by software and USB and I've never had a problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
I used them a couple of times and all the codes work. There shouldn't be any reason for it not to work as its pretty much impossible to send you faulty codes because of the way each code is unique to each phone. Anyway, if for some reason the codes don't work, you get back to them with your issue and if they give you a hard time, take it up with the payment processor (credit card, paypal) it will make things faster

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ve6ay:
I've used them now on three different phones, and they all worked great. The only way it might not have worked is if you chose the wrong phone type.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] minirx7:
Unlocked my fiance Bell Note 3 with no issues with this company.

From what I understand., sometimes you need to be on the stock firmware to be able to unlock.. My rogers s4 unlocked with no issues as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] 1sagain:
Never had a problem with that company either

I unlocked my

Note 4 , note 3, S3 all from telus and also other phones for other people from that site without any problems.

It feels good to get the UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL message on my screen after punching in the code.

Awesome stuff!

Strange you went through that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cybershawngates:
these guys are great too : swiftunlocks dot com - (notice the pleural) - used them twice for s5. Most s4 should be out of contract by now in which At&t will give you the code. OR there's software ways of doing it for the S4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GaijinMetal:
Sorry these guys failed me hard, I never got my refund back and I am going through a paypal chargeback with them. Never ordering from swiftunlocks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
Have been using cellunlocker for years. Never had a bad experience. I even got my last unlock for free if I filmed it and posted it on YouTube
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
By "never had a bad experience" i meant I always had great service... If i ordered in their business hours I'd get my code within 2 hours, if not in the AM the next day. Also their prices were always very fair and codes always worked. Once I made a mistake in the IMEI and they were very nice and sent me a new one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] majormar:
DON'T use cellunlocker.net. It took them about 4 days to come up with a code that didn't work. After being forced to upload several videos of me trying the unlock code and proving that my phone wasn't rooted or running a custom ROM, they still refused to issue a refund claiming my phone was modified. It's been 17 days and they still can't come up with a working code. Avoid them like the plague!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jdiesel5x:
Works!

Cellunlocker.net worked for me, received working code within one day for my Samsung S9. I guess company may have evolved and improved their unlock process over the years.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
Haven't seen it mentioned here, so here you go.

<deleted link>

If the link doesn't work just go to sammobile.com/firmwares, type t679 in the search box and sign up for an account to download.

Backup your ROM with TWRP(or CWM), Odin flash UVLK2, Odin flash TWRP(or CWM) and then restore your backup and you will have the new baseband.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] det0xx:
what does it do?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
As far as I can tell it only updates to the newest radio from T-Mobile. You may get better data reception but I think it depends on where you are located. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
Its an update for 4g service only available in certain areas check coverage map availability
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] det0xx:
you have links to odin? or just odin itself
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
Power bottom> recovery> fastboot

You should be able to download it via recovery twrp or cwm.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] 13~BigBear~13:
Should we do this if were not on T-Mobile because i am with solavei and we go off the same towers.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
To be honest, I have no idea. I did it on my phone(I have T-Mobile) and I didn't see much difference. The signal at my house really sucks though.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] det0xx:
anybody have a dl link to odin ? not how to go to download mode
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] 13~BigBear~13:
So what you're saying is it won't make a big difference?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
download kies if the update applies to you it will make it available. If unsure contact Customer service and ask if theres an firmware update in your area.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
Kies will only work if you are on the stock ROM.

Yes, it might not make a difference. All depends on location.

Attached is the ancora Odin. Use it at your own risk!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
I called dealer support and they told me it was an update for lte customers were lte is available
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] 13~BigBear~13:
So its for LTE?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
If it is lte that would make me very happy

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

How big is the file to be downloaded? And do I need to go back to stock to get it?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] 13~BigBear~13:
Just look up how to odin on youtube the file 336mb. Just follow the steps.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
So it has to be through Odin
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
Yeah and the update is only for tmobile customers
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
It won't be lte our phone doesn't have the lte hardware

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
Lucky I live in the city and I don't get true 4g service til I hit Philadelphia its more like 3 and a half
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] 13~BigBear~13:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
Try it and find out
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] 13~BigBear~13:
Wish me luck
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Don't bother going to all the trouble. Chances are the difference is not even noticeable. If you live in a place with poor reception you will still have poor reception after too. The only real cure for that is to live closer to a tower.

I got this when i tried extracting...
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
For all your trouble this is what you are getting:

"Improvements:

Pinch and zoom backend change - no visible user changes

Prerequisites

You cannot check for Samsung software updates or download this software. T-Mobile will not push this as an OTA, because it does not offer new benefits.

This software is only on a newly purchased or exchanged devices.

This software was created for new devices only in order to meet a Samsung requirement for all carriers.

Preloaded on devices produced after 12/14/12

Using ODIN is IMO for experienced users also. If you are new to all this do yourself a favor and forget it or risk bricking your device for nothing.:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
Like I said, this is basically just to upgrade the radio. If you don't know what that means or have never used Odin then you shouldn't bother.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] det0xx:
so far the only difference i notice was signal strength also as data increases
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
If you want to go back to the UVLG3 radio let me know. I will PM you a link to an Odin flash-able tar of just the radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
UVLG3 radio tar.md5:

UVLK2 radio tar.md5

http://d-h.st/4ct
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] det0xx:
you can falsh it with a rooted rom still right?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
Yes. Just Odin flash. It will only change your baseband(radio).
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
Older Odin flash-able T679 radios

T679UVLE1_radio.tar.md5

http://d-h.st/u3a

T679UVKJ1_radio.tar.md5

http://d-h.st/ir1

No reason to use these, but someone might want them.

Note: These radios are probably susceptible to the USSD Dialer Attacks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
Just curious I'm still using t679uvlg3 if i flash peach rom did a factory reset wouldnt that save uvlg3
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
I think that if you install Peach Sunrise it also flashes the UVLG3 radio. I haven't used GB for a long time though. I will try it and find out.

Edit: Peach Sunrise 3.01 does install the UVLG3 radio. I hope that answers your question.

Also, a factory reset does nothing to your radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I went ahead and flashed this for the hell of it and forgot how ODIN isn't very much fun! Anyway I needed the refresher. Far as signal strength there is a somewhat modest gain so if you know what you're doing it's not a bad idea to flash the update.

At least we have the option to just flash the baseband thanks Meekrawb or this would be a much bigger pain.

Can't get the new radio to flash, no matter how i download it, it says md5 checksum error or invalid file type, then to top it off i fricken hate Odin, don't even know if i was doing it right so I give up

*edit*

Just checked in settings under about phone and it says "baseband version uvlk2" must of worked some how, still hate Odin though
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
Did anyone else have a checksum error? I downloaded it and there was no error for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
No, me neither.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mwhitt:
my bad, it was the odin cwm that gave me the checksum error, the radio gave me the invalid image type, yet it shows that it flashed
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
If you use the One Package option in Odin you shouldn't get the invalid image error.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] 13~BigBear~13:
No I didnt get that. Flashed perfectly
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mwas.:
It worked for me but it was a pita. What's worse, I did a backup but after flashing the radio I could not see it. All other older backups were intact.

I suggest to anyone who isn't too sure about Odin to just skip it. Haven't seen any changes
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Crow550:
For those on T-Mobile try the APN: fast.tmobile.com (also heard fast.t-mobile.com too)

Could someone with the knowledge possibly find it in their hearts to make a CWM flashable zip of the radio update?

Pretty please with titty sprinkles on top?

I second that.

Not looking forward to trying Odin
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mwhitt:
Got it, had to use the ancora Odin to get it to work
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] lkspooky:
It was so hard....

Step 1: You have to extract ODIN

Step 2: You have to move the radio into the ODIN folder

Step 3: You have to open ODIN and select ops (ancora.ops).

Step 4: You have to select the radio under PDA (Ignore Warning)

Step 5: You have to Put Phone into Download Mode(It kinda rhymes)

Step 6: You have to Click Start and wait 30 seconds

Step 7: ???

Step 8: Profit

I am sorry but how is any of this hard? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
I am curious if the new radio actually improves the cellular signal for users outside of T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
Before I go through with this, I'm curious to see how many people actually get better signal from the updated radio. I don't want to Brock this before my fiance gets it
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
I actually tried it when I was using the AOIP ROM (believe it or not, I am back to peach sunrise). I ran through the ODIN and everything. Got an error message so I just decided to wipe everything and install the ROM and GAPPS again. Surprisingly enough, it showed the new radio in "About Phone". However, I am not with T-Mobile so I dont really know if there was any benefit in flashing the new radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
when my phone is in odin mode, my computer apparently does not recognize it, it keeps saying please connect phone :C where can i get the drivers for my computer?

edit 1: nevermind, i got it. now i have the new radio :D and in my area, it def boosted my signal :D now if only it would support lte like my s4.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
Glad it work in your area and the exhibit was released before lte so the hardware aint capable. And will this support another network no. All this does is broaden the 4g network in certain areas and lte service on capable devices on tmobile network might support simple mobile and straight talk gsm.

A little Odin guidance

I was hoping to get just a little guidance on using Odin. I'm trying to flash the UVLK2 file found in the beginning of this thread. I've downloaded Odin 4.43, Samsung USB drivers and the UVLK2 file. I've got everything installed and communicating (Odin sees my phone in "Odin Download mode"). The question I have is which Odin Options to choose? Do I use the "One Package" option, Auto Reboot, Protect OPS? Which section do I select for the "Image to download"...Boot, Phone, PDA, CSC, EFS or the "One Package"? I know many have said not to try this if you don't know anything about Odin...but how do us "noobs" become "experts" like you guys if we don't try...everyone has to brick a phone from time to time to learn, right? :D Thanks for any guidance you can give me.

Most of us have bricked at least once...

I hear you loud and clear. I bricked my OG exhibit by (don't laugh at this or else) flashing a NEXUS ONE recovery onto it. I then tried to save it using ODIN but I messed up and mixed up the packages somehow and did a battery pull and sure enough, it got stuck on the connect to Kies logo. I took it to a cell repair store and they called it D.O.A.... I finally sold it for $50 to those trading machines in the mall.:crying::crying::crying:

I then bricked a Mytouch 3g by being impatient on HBOOT and battery pulled it when it was flashing to bootloader :crying::crying::crying:

Moderator edit: the implication of fraudulent actions when you destroy yuor phone is not allowed or condoned here at XDA.

If you brick your phone, be an adult an eat the loss. If you resort to defrauding anyone as a result of your mistakes, then XDA is not for you. We don;t do that here.

It sounds like a defective part. Not much you can do about it. To replace whatever is broken would involve taking the phone apart (something I've never attempted) which voids the warranty. Why go to all that hassle. Just get it replaced under warranty.
