[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Segnale007:
Hello guys, I have been going madness today trying to unlock my gf's Telcel Mexico Galaxy S4 i337m.

I initially tried from the stock branded rom but I couldn't pass the first page in *#0011#. So I decided to debrand it using a Samsung stock fw I337MVLUEMK6.

Unfortunately even with the debranded rom I have gotten the same result, unable pass the first page in *#0011# no matter how many times I would hit back, and the option 1 or whatever makes no difference.

At that point I stumbled upon this thread and I decided to give it a shot, however no go with this method either, probably wasn't even the point of my situation.

So at this point my questions are, is there another method beside buying an unlock code to get this phone unlocked? If anyone of you who has had luck unlocking the phone with this method would pass me it's HiddenMenu.apk, would it work if I sideload it onto my gf's S4?

Thanks

Any help??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
You have to flash an earlier modem to either let you get to the hidden menu or that will work with an app called RegionLock Away. AFAIK that's the only way to do it. Do a search, some people have asked and figured it out but i have the I337 so it's different for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Segnale007:
Thank you for the answer.. I had somehow figured that out but I wasn't sure. On to this thread it is stated that they have achieved to successfully unlock their S4's through Hidden Service Menu with the MF3 OTA fw.

At this point my question is, can I go with the modem_CWM_I337UCUAMF3.zip(7/9/2013)(US) baseband found on this thread and flashing it over the stock fw I337MVLUEMK6 ?

As far as I know the modem_CWM_I337UCUAMF3.zip(7/9/2013)(US) baseband is a 4.2.2 while I337MVLUEMK6 is a 4.3 version, so I just want to make sure it won't brick the device.

Apart from that, the two phones should be identical right? Like I said this one is a i337m Telcel one from Mexico, while modem_CWM_I337UCUAMF3.zip(7/9/2013)(US) should be AT&T right?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
You can't flash that one, but you should be able to flash one of older ones. You are right in that that modem is for the AT&T one, and that means it actually won't work for you. You'll have to flash one that has I337M instead of I337U. Besides that, you should be good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Segnale007:
Thanks for your reply once again.. In fact as you have said I tried the I337U AT&T version and obviously I didn't have any GSM/UMTS signal, so I went with the modem_CWM_I337MUMUAMDL.zip{5/30/2013}(Mexico) and I can finally get into the Services Menu, I can do the whole unlock process listed here, however once the phone reboots the result is the same, S4 doesn't read any different simcard beside the one it is locked on, which is Telcel.

Any idea? Is there a specific baseband version that does this trick on i337m? Additionally, is there a website where I can find all kinds of baseband versions for the i337m?

Thanks

I337m Telcel

Hi, im from Tijuana i also have that smartPhone and was having the same problem, what i did and it worked for me was to install this firmware

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=27549

From sammobile it is the Telcel oficial with JB 4.3 then i put my Movistar chip and it work..

Saludos...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] josuemf:
Yeah, there's a new firmware from samsung that unlocks phones by default.

I've tested it with that exact same one.

I did a previous downgrade to 4.2 tho.

Using that 4.2 firmware, and the *#0011# code, didn't work for me.

So, I returned to the stock branded 4.3, placed a Movistar SIM, and boom! unlocked.

Didn't work too good because of the ugly 4.3 Telcel branded firmware, but at least it's unlocked.

After that I decided to install Goldeneye ROM, and the phone was carrier locked again.

The developer told me that a proper unlock method would be needed to achieve unlocking.

I managed to make a nandroid backup of Telcel's firmware, and Goldeneye ROM, and:

- inserted SIM different from telcel to the phone, booted into Telcel's firmware a couple of times and got it working

- flashed the Goldeneye ROM and retained the unlocking.

the only thing is:

if you ever place a Telcel SIM, the lock will return.

So far I've managed to keep it working once (2 full weeks) without problems.

Yesterday I tried to do it again, and every once in a while the SIM lock returns.

-------------

In other news, anyone knows how to flash other ROM than Telcel's and that buggy 4.2 I found?

Every single ROM I try to flash through ODIN gives me an error, and won't let me flash.

I've tried all these with no results:

I337MUMUENB1_I337MUUBENC1_TTT.zip

I9505XXUENAA_I9505YXXENA7_PHE.zip <--- thankfully that didn't let me flash, it was for a 9505 ::V

I337MVLUAMG1_I337MOYAAMG1_BMC.zip

I337MVLUEMK6_I337MOYAEMK6_PCM.zip

I337MVLUEMK6_I337MOYAEMK6_SPC.zip

now my question is, what does replaced component mean and is it fixed?:eek:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
The replaced component most probably means they replace the over heated component and if they replace the correct one and correctly, it shld be fixed if it is rly overheated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Component could mean motherboard.

I am new to the Galaxy Nexus and would like to know what the best and most stable kitkat rom is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IFLATLINEI:
Ill defend this question all day long because I dont believe in the thought process of many here who would prefer you try and flash 10+ roms to find one that works well when people already know what works well. Their excuses that each phone even though they may have the same hardware can run differently or that one particular rom would suit a certain kind of person better than another is in large part garbage.

But seriously dude. Dont post the same question twice in two different thread catagories. Not cool.

does anyone have any idea what could be causing this

and if i fresh install a rom it boots up fine
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] muftiazan:
Used to happen to me all the time...

You should install the ROM you have and advanced restore from that ROM's backup [In my case only /data]
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kameirus:
thanks for the info .. that worked

now just have to figure out why it started doing that
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] muftiazan:
You mean that it used to work before this just by restoring everything?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kameirus:
yep ..but all of a sudden after restoring a backup it started the boot looping

If you don't know already, these types of threads are severely frowned upon. Test and read up on the roms to see what suits you most.

Whatever. If they are so frowned upon then find a solution. Otherwise they will keep popping up.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] tdx:
Hey everyone,

I am going to be getting a Prophet (imate Jamin) in the next few days and, although i've searched the forum, I'm kind of confused by the amount of stuff you can actually tweak/upgrade in the phone. So I thought i'd ask you guys what are the key steps i have to take upon reception of the phone to optimize it (I'm sure such a guide would benefit a lot of newbies like me). So, here's what I'm planning to do:

1. Unlock it.

2. Flash the latest ROM (I think it's the Dopod one, right?)

3. Remove any extended ROM crap that could slow it down.

4. Reenter manually all my T-Mobile settings (unless there is an automated cab to do it?)

5. Apply the A2DP patch

6. Load the MSI Blueplayer (is that actually necessary?)

7. Overclock it.

8. Sync it.

Okay, that's pretty much what I'm planning on doing. If you guys wish to add/correct/suggest, please do so. Also, keep in mind that I'm trying to achieve the best speed, not the best battery life or the most apps.

Thanks in advance for the help,

TDX
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] TheBrit:
The newest version ROM (any AKU2 version infact) should already support A2DP. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] tdx:
Not to contradict you or anything, but I was under the impression that the official AKU2 updates only contained the Push email upgrade, not the A2DP. Can omeone clarify that for us please?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] J.Walker:
The latest ROM itself does not connects any device as A2DP. You need to install the Tornado drivers to get it up and running :) After that, it works.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] tdx:
Yeah,

that's what I thought. Any other suggestions on things I might have missed on my list of necessary enhancements to get the Prophet up to speed?

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] TheBrit:
Where do I get the Tornado drivers from?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ggalbreath1:
Some questions from a newb

I'm in the same boat as tdx (getting an s200 in a few days), and I'm really lost with all the info I've found on this phone. My previous phone was a razr and I did everything to that phone imaginable, but I'm pretty lost with the Prophet so far. When I finally see the device, I'm sure a lot will make sense.

How does one install a new rom or cab updates? Does that require ActiveSync or is it just dragging and dropping these files into the file manager of the phone? Keep in mind this is my first ppc device and I'm very unfamiliar with how they work. Also I'm curious about ringtone loudness, as I've seen some other phones with just a speaker on the back and they're Very quiet and practically inaudible... does the prophet have this problem or is it pretty loud? What hacks are available to get the sound above factory settings?

Also, is the newest dopod rom the Best right now, or are there any major hang-ups or bugs that are really a PITA (pain in the ass)? What about the BT connectivity? Is A2DP just a cab file I'll need to drop into the phone, or how do I get it into the phone, and not where I have to manually run and open up everytime I want it to work?

What about some of your favorite programs or plug-ins for the phone? Any favorite weather, today screen, bank program, etc that you guys absolutely love? There's a lot of stuff out there and I'd hate to miss out on something just because I'm a newbie :-P

Alright last question, while overclocking, is MemMaid the only way to set it up to overclock with certain programs, and go back to native speed after program closes? I was planning on just overclocking to 240mhz while running skype and TCMPT or windows media player, so videos wont lag too bad, and maybe with other programs I notice run a little laggy. I also don't want to leave it overclocked constantly, only when I'll need it... Any other way to set this up without the need of memaid?

I know much of this has been covered, but I feel these are really basic useful questions that many people with a stock, oem prophet could all benefit from knowing, so maybe we can get some walkthroughs on some of these things and get these discoveries organized.

Well thanks in advance for any info!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
What does "best" mean to you? Most stable IMO is Beanstalk. Of you've got the new partition, I'd say Carbon.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TonyStark R.I.P.:
There is no best rom. Every rom is best to those that like the one they are using. You really can't ask a question like this and gain a true feel for any rom.

Here's an idea, try some out and formulate your own opinion. This is the ONLY way to find out which one is best.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yelped:
To be honest, it depends on what type of Rom you want. No ones going to be able to tell you that. I personally prefer CM11. I just wish that they would post the latest build on the thread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
It's easy to just flash one, try it for a bit, then flash another and compare them. You could even make a nandroid backup of each one after you get it set up and customized a bit so you can flash back and forth to really get an idea of how they differ.

You also need to consider whether you want to use the old partition layout or the new one, as that will determine to some extent what your options are for ROMs. They're not all available for the new layout just yet.

I'll be doing this exact thing today with SlimKat, MeanBean, Carbon, and a couple of Sense 4.3 ROMs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I will repeat in this thread, what I have said in your others that have asked the same question:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbeanss:
Hey all,

I'm in need of help again, I've had a strange issue as of late (since updating to 4.4) when I'm playing music through my headphones if I turn the volume up too loud the audio stutters in the right headphone and then cuts out, I've tried with 4 pairs of in ear headphones (Stock Xperia Z headphones, stock I9300 headphones, soundmagic e10, and seinnheiser CX-400 II precisions) all with the same effect.

I'm currently running the latest nightly AOKP (4.4) and MEOW Kernel 2.02.04 and have tried a variety of kernel/ROM combo's all with the same outcome, could it possibly be a hardware issue or is this a general 4.4 issue as of late? Because I can't seem to find any posts specifically about my type of problem.

Thanks in advance!

Ok i have attacked 2 photots to this post of the 1st and 2nd i have cracked my G2's screen the 1st time was in october and the second time today/ :rolleyes: :crying: the 1st time my g2 was naked with no case and the second time it had a Beyond Cell Tri-shield case on it. why i think it may be cured is how it cracked in the same corner as last time. LOL

i love my G2 but must just have bad luck
[G2 General] abdel12345:
Yep it's gotta be a curse... the curse of butter fingers :p
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
Don't worry broke my black G2 screen too, bottom left corner, fell in bathroom. Lol phone actually said detected damaged screen and showed menu for alternate controls . Eventually repair was free because Gophermods which sucks (replaced screen 4 times over one month), didn't do it properly and got intermittent grey lines. Eventually got a white one with refund money. Ironically original now works fine after screen lifted off from housing relieving pressure on ribbon cable inside.

What happened in your case, how did you drop and get repaired?
[G2 General] clapper66:
my case is fine, i woke up because my phone when off at 9am i went to put it down and it slid off my nightstand and i picked it up not even thinking about it, then when i got up went to go use it and it would not unlock so i restarted thinking it froze or something then turn it back on a resized it was cracked when it did not respond, and it was hard to see the crack with screen protector on. organically i took it to CPR: cell phone repair cost me $200 call them back to day and asked what they could do for me, guy said it would be $200 so i screen F**K you and hung up i, im going to just change it my self. i was hesitant back in october because there we no guides on line but now there are.
[G2 General] clapper66:
nope its actually the cure of putting i down when i was half a wake and having it slide off my nightstand. :crying:
[G2 General] abdel12345:
Lol. I don't get how it broke with a case. Just unlucky I guess. I have a thin diztronic case on and its been safe so far. Also if you look around for a cell phone shop they'll repair it for around 65-100 dollars depending on if they have the piece or not. I work part time at one and they charge 65 for iPhone repairs because they have plenty off screens fir it but they charge 100 for phones they need to order a screen for.

If u have the tools it's easy to do yourself. Just watch a YouTube video and follow along step by step. It's actually what we do at the store with phones we haven't done before :D
[G2 General] clapper66:
could it have to do with the way they re glued the screen down? thats all i can think of.
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
I hear LG will do it for about $140 according to another xda member, when I called LG they refused to give me a quote unless I mailed them my phone. Looking back I should have gotten it repaired by LG. Gophermods was $239.xx after taxes used that refund plus $80 more for a new one White this time on eBay.

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

I'm sure that's how the Gopermods guy repaired mine. I warned him to be careful about the ribbon cable the third time he replaced my screen, it's very sensitive. He repaired it a fourth time again got grey lines/imprint of previous activities. He didn't glue the screen properly each time. It eventually peeled off the housing after he offered refund and since pressure disappeared it works fine as long as it's not completely in the housing. They really screwed it up big time. I knew more about repairing it than he did. I mean he was nice and took my advice but was just incompetent. The day I got my refund a lady with a "repaired" iPad screen came back a second time because it didn't respond in some corners.... shows you how bad the company is. They are learning/schooling on our stuff lol.
[G2 General] clapper66:
well i think in the future im just going to put a Verizon insurance coverage on my phone. look at it this way the insurance is $10 a mouth and with a two year contract im going to be spending $240, and could break the phone over and over and just get it replaced.
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
Yeah that's probably best.
[G2 General] fleeting_dreams:

Well, it's just probably bad luck. With these devices, you just gotta be careful and not drop them. More likely than not, they will break when dropped. Also, I can't help but notice the amount if fingerprints on the screen (and probably the back). I suggest you wipe them more often to prevent the accumulation of fingerprints (and oils).
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
That's why I got a white one second time, harder to see fingerprints and smudges.
[G2 General] :
judging by the smudges you probably shouldn be handling anything of value when busy with lube
[G2 General] GenoMuch:
Or better buy a casing that is easy to handle. Not easily drop when sweaty or oily. A casing that worth a price.
