[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swboland:
I don't think anyone is working on this. The guy who came up with the exploit to unlock the bootloader in the first place said immediately after releasing it that he isn't touching Motorola devices' bootloaders anymore because they have become so difficult to crack. The update in the 9.16 OTA patched a pretty big security hole in the basic Android framework. That was a good thing because it prevents thieves from hacking your phone (hopefully) but it also took away a lot of our "freedom" with these devices, unfortunately.

Basically the process of finding a way to unlock the bootloaders is extremely difficult and not a rewarding enough venture for anyone to bother with right now. Don't hold your breath for a bootloader unlock anytime soon (likely never). If you've updated to 9.16 (I'm with you here, after replacing a bootloader unlocked, rooted and running CM10.1 phone with a cracked screen through insurance and receiving a replacement with an un-unlockable bootloader out of the box) kiss your ROMing dreams goodbye. The best you can do with the phone now is root it, install SafeStrap and run ROMs based off the stock kernel.

My advice to any and all willing to listen:

Get away from Verizon as fast as you can. They are making sure their phones release now-a-days with un-unlockable bootloaders. The upcoming Droid Ultra, Maxx, and Mini as well as the Moto X will all be locked down with no hope of unlocking their bootloaders on Verizon. The ATT Moto X will also not have an unlockable bootloader.

The best carrier for devs and flash hounds will be T-Mobile from here on out as they are marketing to people with their own devices and not locking down the software the way the big V is.

This really sucks because my favorite thing about my Razr HD Maxx is the battery, and the only thing close to or better as far as battery size/life coming out is the new Droid Maxx. With out being abkle to install a custom ROM, though I feel like I'm using an iPhone. But a good alternative may be an S4 on T-Mobs with an extended battery (thanks to Samsungs removable batteries) or charging case or something like that.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudewithspots:
You are a wealth of information, thank you!

Would I be able to install any rom with safestrap? and then I would just be stuck with current kernal? Or does the rom have to be special in some way? I want to get the CyanogenMod 10.3 version. Thoughts? If I can't, what would be the best option as far as stock kernal rom?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudewithspots:
Hey man, So I have SafeStrap but I am having a hard time finding roms that will work with safestrap. do you know of any?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeje00:
None of the new roms only roms based on stock. Your gonna have to dig to roms started before April.

no exciting news about the current version of unlock still?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeje00:
The new one probably won't be unlocked.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajent:
I unfortunately upgraded to 9.18.79 a while back and now that i'd like to unlock the bootloader, I can't.

However, I do have best buy insurance, assuming my screen is broken, I can get the device replaced with a refurbished unit. What are the odds the refurbished unit has not been updated to a version that cannot be unlocked?

thanks

The odds are getting slimmer and slimmer as the days go on, but I have still seen a few people get replacements that have not been updated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Dusk992:
Hello there,

So I got a USED Galaxy S4 from someone on kijiji

The phone is from rogers, and still locked to rogers/chatr

Iv been using the phone for about two weeks with no issues at all.

Last week, just in the middle of the day

I was taking the phone out of my pocket, and I noticed that it says ' unregistered sim'

On the lock screen and status bar

Tried to restart the phone and pull out the battery, nothing happened. Tried a NEW chatr sim card- no luck.

Went to rogers yesterday, tried 4 different sim cards

Didnt work.

I stuck with the "unregistered sim" msg, which not allows me to use the phone.

I tried to look for an answer around the net, and couldnt really find someone who have a similar issue.

Any ideas?

Is the phone might be stolen?

Is therr anything to do about it?

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Sounds like you're the victim of insurance fraud. The guy sold the phone and then reported it stolen. He gets paid twice. You should have insisted that the phone got transferred to you at an at&t site, or whoever the carrier is
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brucelex:
If the phone is blacklisted, another possibility is that the phone was stolen directly from Rogers or an authorized dealer. Phone will work for a while until the IMEI is blacklisted for that carrier.

Try to unlock the phone and use a different carrier sim card like Telus or Bell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kiru:
You could have a defective SIM card slot. As to my knowledge no carrier in Canada currently blacklists IMEI's (I could be wrong though). An easy way to check is just to call Rogers and provide them the IMEI and they can tell you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dlphob:
I work for a multi-carrier dealer and I know that for Telus if you get their replacement plan (the one where they charge you monthly for) and you report the phone lost/stolen they will blacklist the phone. Rogers has the same replacement plan but whether they blacklist the phone or not I don't know. Try putting a sim card from a different carrier and see if it works. If it does then the phone was most likely blacklisted by Rogers/Chatr/Fido.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
They would tell you that the phone is blacklisted. I am going with a faulty sim cradle on this one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Dusk992:
Thank you guys

Thanks a lot guys, very appreciate your fast and helpful comments!

Ill definitely try to unlock the phone and try use it with another carrier!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Mobilelearner:
reason for unregistered sim error

You have samsung galaxy mobile and you have bought it from someone else.

Here is most possible reason is the original owner might have not paid any due amount or some one complaint about the phone from insurance company that it is lost or stolen.

It is locked phone still you can try another sim from same carrier like roger.

Or if you mobile support dual sim then try to insert the sim to another sim slot.

Or you can also try to insert sim to another mobile which is not locked. On unlocked phone if you get the same sim unregistered error. Then contact your sim provider and they will ask for your id proof. And photo. Just submit it and your sim will be active.

hey whats goin on everyone!

i was thinking of getting the Note i717 off of amazon that already unlocked brand new!

but im concern cause since the Note i717 it self offer 1700/2100 frequency band for LTE DATA..

and im going to use it as T-Mobile

do i get LTE DATA in my area since i do have 1700/2100 frequency band?

please let me know! those of you that have it unlocked and using it as t-mobile

or know for sure if it works or not!

i was thinking of ordering it this weeken!

thanks!

:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Buy the tmobile version of the note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] skarface1988:
There none on amazon. Only the unlocked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jsyi84:
I have an unlocked ATT branded i717 that I've been using on T-Mobile here in San Diego for about 2 months now...I'm using the modified T-Mo ICS Blaze radio. Due to the area of San Diego I'm in I am not in a refarmed network area so no LTE for me but my "4G" speeds are usually around 10megs down and 2 megs up at home which I'm pretty satisfied with.

Anyways to answer your question I'd refer to this thread.....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2314707
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] skarface1988:
Actually my area had been refarm already. But do i still have to change the radio or do any apn change?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chickenla:

Yes you need to change your modem or else you you will be stuck using roaming on the 2G frequencies. I recommend the Blaze 4G UVMB1 modem on this page:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1895400

Of all the modems I have used, this one seems to be the best one. If something else works better let me know so I can try it for myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] skarface1988:
Its funny that I didn't need to change anything, all I did was, get the $30 dollar plan from wal mart, I call T-Mobile to help me out with activation and new number. And they ask me for my imei and that's it. My LTE runs right when it activated, everything is pure stock!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Refarmed are means tmobile is using same frequencies and towers as at&t, so the stock modem will work fine. Just input APN settings and go!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tube517:
I see you made it over here. :laugh:

Did you get any screenshots of PACMAN ROM w/LTE???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] skarface1988:
Yup yup!.

At the moment I'm not using a stock ROM anymore, I am running 4.3 pac-man alpha build with a stock ucdm3 modem. And still got LTE!

In my area is kinda slow but when I'm somewhere else I get at least almost 20mb
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mityaz07:
Hey enthusiasts,

just got the t-mo S4 and hate how the thing is full of preloaded junk. i have been using a CM10 S3 up until now, but upgraded to S4.

Is there a ROM that would still allow WiFi-Calling? I just have all that t-mo crap thats on there.

Please direct me if you can

Thanks

Or is there a way to remove all that crap with-out rooting and installing a rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skazzy3:
You could root and remove the bloat yourself. Its located in /system/app. Oh and no you need root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mityaz07:
can i still keep the wifi calling?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
Yes you can still keep WiFi calling. Unlike before the Wi-Fi calling is now built into the framework. Either root and delete bloatware or flash a tmobile base ROM to retain WiFi calling.

☞Sent from here☜
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skazzy3:
I doubt the bloatware is whats allowing the wifi calling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gunkk:
Wicked rom is fully debloated and still has wifi calling. Great ROM! Has aroma installer so you can add bloat as you see fit or easily theme without wiping.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 02CWRX:
Root and titanium backup pro would do this also. Or, flash the debloater file that's floating around here which hits most of it, then hit the rest of it manually.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] neverbugme:
Yeah, Wicked v5.1 is awesome. I have the same requirement (keeping wifi calling), or I'd be on either one of the GE ROMS or CM10.x, but Wicked is a great replacement.

Make sure to get the Xposed Framework with the Wanam Xposed mods. Those work well with Wicked and allow you to do stuff like disable that annoying volume warning.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mityaz07:
does wicked 5.1 retain the eye tracking, air tracking and the fancy camera features?

here is my attempt at a theme...

whats themed..

batt

clock with no am/pm

wifi signal

bluetooth

4g

3g

alarm clock

volume vibrate and silent

transparent statusbar

colors white and blue..

**statusbar is the only thing thats themed and i used systemui.apk from ma7 stock rom**

i will look into making this flashable as i dont know how and havent looked

into it yet so either open your rom and replace system ui or use a file/root manager to replace it

this is very time consuming (well for me as im just starting to learn themeing) so please hit the thanks if you like it..

Hi friends,

Welcome to HaloGen for i9500.

This ROM is a neat and clean CM10.2 with HALO feature from the ParanoidAndroid.

First I would like to thank the people who made this possible:

1) [MENTION=1815755]intervigil[/MENTION] and CM team for porting CM10.2 on i9500. Nothing was fated for this device without them.

2) ParanoidAndroid for making the fantastic HALO feature, proving once again that Android has been always about innovation of exciting user friendly features.

3) [MENTION=4443334]Grarak[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5258154]doga.ozkaraca[/MENTION] for constantly clearing my doubts whenever I had regarding anything.

4) [MENTION=4167023]AndreiLux[/MENTION] for his unbeatable Perseus kernel.

5) Samsung, who knows how to make good devices, but being dumbasses for not releasing sources.

6) Many thanks to the works of Cristiano Matos (https://github.com/cristianomatos). All the latest changes are totally derived from his work.

7) Special thanks to [MENTION=4642591]hamdogg[/MENTION] for a youtube review and an amazing logo image. Please subscribe his channel as a token of appreciation. :)

HaloGen

This was basically a personal project for me to learn Android OS development. I was fascinated about the HALO feature and so I began implementing it over the always faithful base of CM.

Thanks anyways bro :)

BTW [MENTION=5258154]doga.ozkaraca[/MENTION] ... Its been 1 hour with latest intervigil commits. No random reboots. I think that audio commit was the culprit somewhere.

Dunno if it helps but I discovered the weirdest thing about the Audio bug in phone calls, for the past 15mins I called and hung up to my other line and found that the noise only happens on the even numbers tries : the 2nd call ,4th, 6th and so on .

And on the odd numbers tries, the call was great.

Tried it for more than 20 phone calls even rebooted the phone and tried it again, same thing.

BTW : no random reboot yet for the past hour
