Sim Unlock Method 4.4.2/5.0.1

Disclaimer: i AM not resposile for anything that happens to your phone in the unlikely event something does happen.

this has only been tested lightly but it should work all-right. this is for the i537 S4A only.

You Need to start out on either NE3 or NH3. Downgrade now if you need to. Just remember when downgrading don't flash bootloader. This needs Odin and root to succede. Now That thats out of the way you need to download some files to deal with later on.

MF1 Odin flashable

regionlockaway go to the second post and download the apk to install on your phone.

this method uses an old method in a new way.

here is the guide

1. install regionlockaway and reboot to download mode

2. Flash modem.bin with odin in download mode

3.reboot to system and use regionlockaway. follow the instructions in the app.

4. profit?

As far as my understanding after you do this you can update your modem without it reverting back to being locked. I am running oc7 modem on a T-Mobile MVNO without issues( if you want aws unlock you are going to have to use this then the appropriate modem for that and not allow for the modem to update when updating to oc7 by modifying the oc7 installer and removing the modem from it)

I am ready... I have been reading for days about sim unlocking on 4.4 and up..I finally coined up $25 for a code but takes up to 5 days, 2 days ago. my next attempts were going to be with my paid copy of CDMA WS. Either way it is just to experiment with and would love to gain the knowledge. I have a couple different carrier sims ready to go. I would love to give it a shot.....
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
ok ill pm you with a guide once i have it written up.

EDIT: it should be in your inbox
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
i was able to test a verizon lte sim and it didnt give me any issues. it regestered the number in the status. so i belive it worked. i would like some more testers to get information about it. i need more testers before i feel ok giving out the method.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] nrgyitguy:
Been sooo busy!!!! K, thank you for the guide. I haven't been able to try anything except a Verizon Lte sim. It registers the number and the network lock is gone. However I don't believe we will get data service with a Verizon sim as I don't believe the hardware is capable?...I wasnt able to place a call as I got" Emergency calls only", all I did was swap sims, occasionally I have to call Verizon and have them add the new phone to the plan before it will work and I didn't do that yet. Will try a different carrier sim tonight.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
so before you did the guide did it give you issues with the verizon sim? and now it dosent?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] nrgyitguy:
It did give me issues before flashing the mf1 and after the flash and region away no nagging about sim unlock code! Havent gone any further yet. I will report back after using a different carrier sim besides verizon that is.....I think it works....
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
sweet thank you for the feedback man. i did the 5.0.1 upgrade method i detailed in the PM after i finished doing the unlock on my phone and it worked the same as what you described (i only had access to vzw lte sim also) so i belive i made the update file correctly also. im not really getting any bites on more testers so if it pans out well for you i will polish up my guide and post it here to have people test it instead of making them PM me.

thanks again for being my beta tester. if we get this working well we can save alot of people alot of money

ps for voice and sms verizon lte sims are useless because they still use CDMA for those features
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] nrgyitguy:
Finally put in another sim...Put in a Tomb sim and no nagging about unlock code, I got "Sim not provisioned" as it isn't active at the moment. So I'm thinking it worked. Thank you. I was thinking I'd get voice and edge speeds with a Verizon sim in this phone, (utilizing GSM bands), in my area anyway, but maybe I'm mistaken. I'll post again after using another carrier's sim.....
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
thank you for your work. im glad it worked for you. i will be posting the guide up here soon.

starting at post #327 of http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-acti...7oc6-5-0-1-t3089355/post61347589#post61347589

I did as instructed and according to flashfire at the end of flashing, it said it was successful and it rebooted (so far) to the lollipop boot animation and am awaiting for it to get past the at&t logo screen. Its at least gotten a lot further than all my earlier attempts...I am assuming its taking a little while for its initial setup of OC6....

more later on its success or failure....

well it was a partial success....it flash and booted into OC6 but sim card is not recognized, no baseband.....now installing updated version of flashfire....should i now flash the MF1 modem again via flashfire?

well i went ahead and did just that flashed the mf1 modem via flashfire and all is up and running successfully (FINALLY!!) with root on deodexed rom OC6...

Kudos and thanks goes out to ya!

so it didnt work. it stop saying it was an unreconizable sim card and region lock said it took. so i dunno it says (phone not aloud MM#6) right when i start up. but it shows i have a new voice mail? only emergency calls

oh ya and it was at&t and i put a family mobile simcard, (runs off t mobile network)

any ideas??

odin ne3

flash mf1 modem with flash fire

make sure you are rooted and have busybox

use region lock away. try with att sim in phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Endlessz:
Trying to do this for my s4a but flashfire is being uncooperative, it just crashes any chance it gets. Any other flash apps this will work with?

Edit: do I need safestrap for FlashFire?

Edit2: Fixed the issue with flashfire, If anyone runs into this issue you need to flash stock NE3, and re-root.

Rest of tutorial went perfectly. Cannot test unlock status atm, but no errors.

Thanks Matteo, you're a top lad.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] sunilbeforezod:
Will this same method work with a deodexed OC7 ROM? I only ask because of the I537_OC6_Stock_Partitions_mod_sim.zip - not sure if this still works the same for OC7. Just to clarify, do you know if region lockaway is necessary to get T-Mobile AWS/HSPA bands? I've got a working cell and LTE connection without doing any of this, so I really only needed to do what's necessary to get those bands (which I think the old modem will help enable).

Thanks for the assistance!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
edit to the edit:

go back to NE3 with odin.

then flash mf1 modem

then try this

[GUIDE] AWS Unlock for i537 I537UCUBML2 (4.3)

read the posts to make it work

also check out this post if you have issues with getting qpst to work. dont follow the whole post just qpst part http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56023258&postcount=68

then follow the guide i posted in my last edit to keep the aws unlocked modem while on 0C7

edit:

you can use the oc7 deodexed rom. you just have to remove the modem from the rom file useing winrar or 7zip. also you have to remove it from the updater script useing a text editor. drag it out of winrar edit it and then drag it back into winrar. that way if you flash in this order you will be fine

partitions mod file

oc7 deodexed rom.

that way you keep the modem

from when you installed and unlocked mf1 modem on 4.4.2

[P3300, MDA Compact III  Accessories] afubini:
Hello,

I've just received the HTC remote control/headphone adapter, loaded the drivers on my XDA Orbit and all seemed well - all buttons working as they should.

My problem is with that when listening to the radio via the remote control the radio cuts out after 3 minutes when the phone goes to sleep. The same happens when I hit the power button while listening. Basically the radio thinks that the headphone got disconnected and stops playing. With the orinigal headphones, the radio keeps playing even when the phone goes to sleep (I've tested this following the driver install and it still works fine with the original headphones).

Is anyone else having this problem or know a solution? The main reason I bought the remote was for the radio support :(

Thanks in advance,

Alex
[P3300, MDA Compact III  Accessories] woggle:
have you checked the power settings found on the ppc at

Start > Settings > System tab > Power

you may have to untick the option to power off after 3 mins when running off the battery or keep the phone on charge while using the radio.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  Accessories] humps:
you need to install the Audio Driver Update for the P3300 from HTC's website. The problem is well described (well, by me) on the internet if you google a bit or search in this site.

e.g.

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-307388.html

for the driver:

http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htcp3300.html

HTC has been very sloppy with the release driver of this headphone and it does not allow you to use those buttons on the remote by other applications apart from WMP/HTC Audi Manager and the FM Radio app.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UzY3L:
Hello,

Can someone please let me know where I can find some custom Android 2.3 / Gingerbread ROMs for Galaxy Note N7000?

All of the download links are either dead or redirect to some weird site. The only one I can download is RocketRom V19_1 from Google Docs and that will not work because it needs RocketRom V19 to be installed which I cannot download.

Reasons why I want Gingerbread :

-TouchWiz;

-I cannot stand the AOSP interface and its keyboard;

-Most importantly of all, every ROM / firmware over 2.3 kills the battery and makes the phone slow (at least for N7000).

So any download location (if possible, from Google Docs) for a 2.3 Custom ROM would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

HELLO EVERYONE

Since the summer is comming, some of you (like me) would like to shoot under water.

Nice case. $100USD, ridiculous.

100 is too much. But about 50 in amazon, and it gets better. My phone is in warranty process now, so i`ll wait till next week and order one. When I do, I`ll post some review.
[One (M9) Accessories] PcFish:
Just wait for one of those 50% off accessories coupons from HTC and get it for $40 on their website.

Let me know how it is with a glass screen protector.
[One (M9) Accessories] mcp2009:
I love having waterproof cases so I couldn't help myself and thank god for HTC Champions. Was able to snag one up for 67.83 with 3-8 day shipping from their discount store we'll see how it performs right now I've been using my 6 Plus due to having a lifeproof on it now.

EDIT: Saw it on B&H Photo for $69.99 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1130870-REG/htc_99h_20088_00_active_case_for_htc.html
[One (M9) Accessories] yyy999deba:
Tried a waterproof case. But it can't do the normal use underwater.
[One (M9) Accessories] OGhoul:
I ordered one. I'll review it once it arrives next week (B&H has it for $70).

What do you mean? Of course you can't use a touch screen under water; that's the nature of the beast. Or do you mean that this HTC case isn't actually water resistant?
[One (M9) Accessories] PcFish:
Just got mine. Fits fine with the .33 mm glass protector.

My one qualm is that you have to get used to pressing the buttons. Maybe it's the screen protector offsetting them, but the case clicks if you push the buttons wrong, possibly allowing air/water in.
[One (M9) Accessories] OGhoul:
That is probably due to your thick glass screen protector. Here's a video that explains why (it's on an iPhone 6 Plus, but the principal applies):

[YOUTUBE]E5IGIHEcqU4[/YOUTUBE]

Also, (with me being paranoid with things like that,) because you've attempted to snap your case shut with such a thick screen protector installed, it would cause me (personally) to now distrust the water resisting ability of the cases seals, since you've now stretched the locking mechanisms.
[One (M9) Accessories] yyy999deba:
I know .It can't do the normal use under the water. but even not under the water.
[One (M9) Accessories] OGhoul:
Are you saying that the case reduces functionality in general?
[One (M9) Accessories] yyy999deba:
Yes, So do you have one workable for me?
[One (M9) Accessories] adamsjordan75:
Wow. $100 for a case, it's too expensive for me:crying:
[One (M9) Accessories] OGhoul:
It came today. Passed the initial soak test with no issue. Put my phone in, noticed that the buttons weren't responsive.

As it turns out, I didn't have the case snapped together properly. And the top will not stay snapped properly, and if you press on the back, the side with the volume buttons undoes its proper seal.

HTCs box says to contact the retailer, so I've reached out to B&H. Hopefully it was a manufacturing defect and not that my M9 is fatter than others'.
[One (M9) Accessories] jmwils3:
I got mine late last week, and while it is plenty waterproof, the ports for the usb charger are much too small for anything but the pen cable. As i use a car dock almost daily that has a special connector, that isn't going to work, so I'm gonna return it.
[One (M9) Accessories] PcFish:
Yeah, exactly the same issue as mine. Takes a bit of pressure to snap the buttons into place, and the top doesn't stay shut.
[One (M9) Accessories] OGhoul:
My replacement from B&H should be here tomorrow. The first thing I'm going to do is try to make sure that it snaps shut properly. If not, I'm not risking my phone in it, and HTC will have made me sad.
[One (M9) Accessories] sever-barre:
Expensive
[One (M9) Accessories] OGhoul:
Not really.

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

I received my replacement from B&H.

This one seals fairly better than the first, however still not as completely as the instruction booklet would have me believe. It passed the water test fine. I even dropped it from chest height into a cooler full of ice water and pop to impress my coworkers, and it was fine. The issue where you could squeeze it and it'd pop open is reduced on this case, but not completely gone; there's one spot that i can squeeze and the seal will appear to break.

So as of this time, my mini-review is as follows:

Better integrated screen protector than LifeProof can muster.

Better sound than LifeProof (though this is also probably due to the speakers).

Call volume in the ear piece is diminished (as to be expected), so don't expect to be able to take a call in a busy place.

Great hand feel, slim.

Not quite trustworthy (IMO) yet. I'd be fine with it to protect walking to the car, or riding a water ride at an amusement park. I don't know that I'd take it for a swim yet.

I've reached out to HTC on Facebook and Twitter and haven't received a reply yet.

Will it work with my tempered glass screen protector I have installed?
[One (M9) Accessories] racrickey:

[One (M9) Accessories] OGhoul:
Ask any iPhone accessory reviewer worth their salt and they'll tell you that it's a bad idea. IMO, especially given the seemingly loose sealing clips that HTC uses here, this would be a very unwise decision.

Water resistant cases, in general, are designed with very tight tolerances (that's how they resist the water and dust, after all), and increasing the dimensions of the phone inside by any amount will lessen the case's ability to seal.

I am currently using mUn 2.0 TE ROM with TT 6, Destinator 7 and iGO 2006. I've also set the power to turn off after 3min if not used.

I found that the device will be turned off after 3min while running either Destinator 7 or iGO 2006, and I have to press the power button and key in my . While TT6 wouldn't have such problem and it will override the power settings to remain in always on status.

So I'm wondering is there anyone using Destinator or iGO and know if they can override the power settings to remain always on? Or what's your settings to make these two software to remain always on?

Cuz it is extremely inconvenience to press the power button every 3min and key in the password in order to continue using the Destinator or iGO.
