Nope does not work. You cannot pull up debugging with the code string.

#*197328640# works but no access to Phone Control menu.

Yup, the modem firmware doesn't expose the full ServiceMode menu. There's no way to get to the PERSO SHA256 flag toggle or the NV REBUILD command. The only way to SIM-unlock is get an unlock code from your carrier or one of the paid unlock services.

Network unlock unsuccessful with code

I purchased a network unlock code from a site ive used many times. I put in a different sim in and it prompted for a code. I entered the code it said it was unsuccessful so i tried it again with same outcome. I read about having to use *#7465625# to unlock it so i tried that with no results. I figured if i flashed back to stock maybe those codes would work but that didnt make a difference. Now it no longer prompts me to enter an unlock code but will not register on the network. Ive read that it may be frozen but im not sure how to enter the unfreeze code. Can anyone help me please?
Did you get any codes other than the sim unlock code? You'll need a complete set of codes to unfreeze the phone asit is probably hard locked at the moment.
What phone do you have (i.e. i747 or i747m)? What stock ROM did you install on the phone?

Are you on Android 4.3? If not you just need to flash the 4.1.1 radio to free unlock the phone. By the way, i heard that after 5 failed attempts of inputting the network unlock code your phone will need a master unlock code to unlock.

Im on 4.1.1 but would like to use a custom rom will that affect it? Ive read that it may be frozen after 3 unsuccessful attempts but I dont think i entered it 3 times. I do have a defreeze code aswell but how do i enter it?
Are you on completely stock 4.1.1, including the bootloader? If you are, did you try unlocking the phone using the free method from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176719 ?

No i have clockworkmod but its been so long I forget how to uninstall it though Ive figured it would help me unlock it. Ive read that free unlock doesnt work on all custom roms plus I already have the code so i might as well use it

I have the i747m with 4.1.1 and clockworkmod. Also I have network, provider, subprovider, defreeze codes.
Did you try any of these methods: http://www.mobileunlocked.com/samsung-instructions.asp ?

haha yes Ive tried them but those codes do nothing when I dial them in. Only code that works is to get the imei and *#197328640#.

I recently bought 2 i747M, one comes with 4.1.2 and one comes with 4.3.
For the 4.1.2, I just need to flash back to the 4.1.1 stock radio (the ROM is still 4.1.2), then I just follow the instruction below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024514
(You need to be on stock rom in order to have the dialer code working)
For the 4.3, I play it safe and bought an unlock code for it which works on the 1st try.

Cannot unlock after upgrading- pattern

I upgraded to MM v20c and had a pattern unlock set - since then I can no longer unlock. I even went to Android Device Manager and set a code lock - but still can't unlock. I have some important info on the device and do not want to reset the system. Is there any way to do it?
Just to add - I do have access to my gmail, so if there is a way to reset the lock screen do let me know.
Using ADM I can again "lock" the device but dont get a prompt to enter the code. I can also make my phone call another number - but there seems np way to unlock it. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: There is no option to enter the code from ADM anywhere.
EDIT 2: I can use adb

Bootloader unlocked how can we now access Service\Diag menus?

Hi thanks to the wonderful Devs im bootloader unlocked.
I need to access Service codes for diag for fingerprint scanner and a couple of other bits to test.
How can I access them, they are still locked out. Do I need to edit a system file to unlock this feature that Verizon locked out.
Thanks

Change this file:
Code:
/efs/Carrier/HiddenMenu
from OFF to ON
Thanks Mate that worked fine.
Sorry to revive this thread but once we set the HiddenMenu to ON what is the correct code to get into the hidden menu?

I've some problem about bootloader. When i try this steps.
1. Settings--- About phone--- MIUI Version (Keep tapping it to enable developer option).
2. Settings--- Additional settings--- Developer option and bind your approved Mi account under Mi Unlock Status.
I cannot open because of sim card and mobile data. My both IMEI's does'nt work and i'm not able to use mobile data. Is there any different way to bootloader unlock?
Thanks all!

Question Oneplus 11 4G/LTE Band Locking(Indian Version)

I couldn't able to lock 4G/LTE bands on the second sim(SIM 2) on Oneplus 11 via Engineer Mode-> Band Selection Option. It always locks the band on Sim 1 even if we select Sim1/ Sim2 from the option.
It was working fine in other one plus devices.
Appreciate if anyone can help on this to lock the bands on SIM 2.

But you either need root or OnePlus auth to enable it.

Is there no solution without root?
I would only need a band lock menu.

Then the only way is to pay someone for auth code.
