Guys, I unlocked my Sprint Note 4 successfully on 5.0.1 (OF5) using the idone app. Later I Odin it to stock COG5 5.1.1 tar. Once I did that, my hotspot and roaming options disappeared from settings. In order to get data working on my operator (non US CDMA), I had to write a dummy NV Dump and had to change few other parameters (trial n error). I finally got data working but I changed too many parameters. So I decided to ##RTN#, so that I can reset back those parameters and start fresh from begining.
Right after the reboot, it started to display "invalid card". I tried different sim but same result. I tried to Odin back to stock COG5 tar but it didnt help. Now that I'm on 5.1.1, I'm unable to use idone app to sim unlock again. And since I'm on COG5 firmware, cant downgrade as well.
Please help me out guys.

You absolutely CAN use the idone app on OG5. You need to flash that OG5 file from Odin, flash TWRP from ODin, then the Beast Kernel and superuser from recovery. As long as you have the IMEI file from buying your unlock on your SD, it will unlock again. I went through the same issue with one of my Notes just yesterday. You can use the unlock app a million times as long as it's on the same device as the IMEI as originally paid and unlocked. It's a little bit of work, however I did all from A to Z in 15 minutes. Good luck, but it CAN be done. Good luck, and happy flashing.
It worked. Thanks a lot.
Now in the trouble of getting hotspot to work. No hotspot option under my settings. Didnt work even with idone apps.

I see no direct option for hotspot under settings. But i can get to hotspot settings using idone app. But no devices are able to connect note 4 hotspot. It keeps on showing connecting and time outs. Please help me enable native hotspot.

First off, I apologize for posting this in the T-Mobile section, but there is not a TracFone S4 section so I'm posting it here in hopes that other pre-paid S4 users will find this. I've managed to root, install custom recovery, and flash a T-Mobile rom to my TracFone S4.
Basically, what I've done is tricked the phone into believing it's a T-Mobile version and installed the TMo TWRP. I've tested this on a SGH-S970G without issues. I don't have service on it yet. I'm hoping to find an unlock (with the help of others) and be able to use this on other GSM networks.
I'm not responsible for what you do but if you'd like to try it, here's the steps:
Root your phone. I used Kingo Root - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473747
Change your build.prop so that it reads as a T-Mobile S4. I used Root Explorer to navigate to /system/build.prop. Change:
ro.product.model to "SGH-M919"
ro.product.name to "jfltetmo"
ro.product.device to "jfltetmo"
Remove the quotations.
Reboot your phone so the changes will take place.
Install GooManager from the Play Store. Click menu, "Install OpenRecoveryScript", and "Yes" on the menu prompt. Your phone will download TWRP Recovery and flash it to your phone.
Click Reboot Recovery in Goo Manager and make a backup of your stock rom.
Download a TW Based 4.3 T-Mobile rom. Here's a stock deodexed one that seems to work nicely - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545711
Enjoy your awesome phone!
I've also tried to install a T-Mobile and/or AT&T radio without luck. Here's that thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324667.
I've tried flashing the radio through Odin, Mobile Odin, and TWRP. The Odin flashings fail and the TWRP seems to flash successfully but when I reboot, the old modem is still there. Using this tutorial, I've also pulled the modem for anyone who'd like to try to modify it or otherwise figure out how to change modems on this phone.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21738380/modem.bin
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21738380/NON-HLOS.bin
I'm attaching a screenshot of my current build status.

You can't fully unlock this phone. Even with unlock code after the phone restarts you have to enter the code again. The radio does not allow it to be permanent. TracFone would need to either upgrade or apply some sort of firmware update to allow the phone to accept the unlock permanent. I've tried is 100% pure stock and still does the same thing. You are able to use normal but as soon as you restart is locks again. January 2015 is fast approaching, so am waiting as to what TracFone will do to fix this issue, otherwise people are going to complain.
Sadly, it seems my IMEI has been set to zero.
I can still make calls and text, but my data is on Edge network only.
I've been doing some searching and reading (by some I mean a lot) and I guess I'm getting a little confused in it all.
Would using ODIN to reset my phone to stock fix the IMEI?
I have the IMEI on a sticker on the phone, could TMobile reset the IMEI for me?
Thanks in advance.
Swap it if you have insurance. If not search xda for fix.

Yes Odin will fix the Issue. Please choose correct firmware to flash via Odin.
Thanks for the response.
Trying to confirm I get the RIGHT rom for my device.
Went to sammobile.com/firmwares/
Looking at all the options for SGH-T999, do I have to made basebands to what I have now (T999UVDLJA) which is dated Oct 2012, or is that something that gets "updated" if I apply the latest rom (March 2014)?
Depends on what you had before all these problems. You must choose that same version otherwise you may hard brick the phone.
*sigh*
And I suppose there's no way to know that? I don't have a back up or anything...
Is there anyway to determine?
Thanks for your help and direction thus far!
Oh Sure. There are other ways to determine. If possible post a photo of the download screen. Otherwise type out exactly what you see when the phone is in download mode.

I'm assuming that is the info you were looking for?
Yes that's what I needed. I suggest please use UVDMD5 Version of Root66 to flash via Odin.
Excellent.
So follow directions and get files from here?: http://www.androidayos.com/2013/05/...y-bean-without-binary-flash-counter-increase/
Well. Yes. I'd direct you to the Thread here under Android Development.
Yeap. The link I posted actually takes you back to the link you provided.
Both bookmarked.
I hope to do this tonight.
If I understand this correctly, this should flash my phone back to stock with my valid IMEI
Using this Route66 I will have root on the phone and should then be able to do a CM install if I choose?
Yes and yes.
If that is your desire, then while you are in Odin, flash a custom Recovery such as TWRP or CWM as well.

... I will have to research on how to do that too then.
First concern is getting the IMEI back so that I can actually USE the phone with data -- regardless if it's CM or stock OS.
As the UVDMD5 will have correct modem, hopefully that will restore IMEI. Otherwise we may have to see what happens.
hmmm sort of seems to have worked... stuck at the "SAMSUNG" screen though.
Reading other links says I should have cleared cache before doing?
Hmmm cleared cache.
Did factory reset.
Still stuck at pulsating "SAMSUNG" logo...
Ok got into phone... ugh is stock ROM just painful. Who designs these things?!?!
Sadly, IMEI is still set at 0
this doesn't seem to have worked

ARGGGHHHH Are you serious? Googling now, but this looks much more complicated compares to Odin
Can't TMobile just restore the IMEI if I take it to one of their stores?
Ok i'll keep this simple. I just got the tmobile note 3 replacement. And now I want to transfer everything over.
But first please point me with links and directions to how to do this quickest easiest and fool proof.
I'm not sure what firmware this replacement will have if its the latest NF1 when i boot i up with tmobile
Tell me there is a simple way to give it root and more importantly change the recovery to TWRP latest version.
I'm hoping there is a 1 step solution/windows app that will do all that. I just need tha done. THen I will just swap the microsd into the replacement and load the entire image stored on the card to the new phone. Is it really that simple? please let me know what I'm missing.
Don't tell me the NF1 carrier upgraded devices can't be unlocked. please i have no idea how to do this, don't just point me into the right threads, I have a disability of sifting thru info i am legally disabled. Pleaes help me make this transition as easy as possible.
My deepest thanks.
Hpe to hear from as many knowledgable feedback soon for me to get this done so i can send the defective back to tmobile.
Use my guide here...

Do you mind me asking what is wrong with your phone?
You can always Odin back the replacement phone to ne6 and make sure you do the bootloader too, and then use towelroot to reroot. Then just use titanium backup to back up your stuff from your old phone (assuming you already have root) then restore on the new phone.

Is it normal for everything to be NF except the baseband is still stuck at the old one. Is this normal? Is there a 900T NF1 bootloader? I heard nf1 HAS A NEW bootloader, but i can't flash it up to it. I've attached a screetshot.
Also, I CANT TETHER FOR FREE NO MORE! On my old note 3 with any ROM that doesn't do the tmobile tether turn on check, I can use tether unlimited by connecting to a proxy on my computer, but now for osme reason, it always redirects me to an upsell page just like on tmobile's official ROMs is there a new way around it? When I connect to the note 3 AP on my computer it automatically says theres "limited connectivity" please help, I want it the way of how it was on my note 3, does it have to do with the new radio? or is it something else? thanks.

Hi folks,
Brand new D851 here! I want to get it fully updated to 20G before going ROM happy. I'm aware of the 20G flashable ZIP (here) but figured I'd just get it to download. The phone (new, from Amazon, unlocked) came with kitkat. I skipped the setup process and have no SIM in it; once I connected it to wireless it promptly downloaded and installed 20E. But there it sits. It doesn't seem to understand 20G should be waiting. Repeated checks for updates don't goose it along.
Is there some trick to this?
I will probably quickly exit stock, and then set up maybe Blisspop or something similar for 5.1.1, configuring for AT&T (I'm on ATT and bought the D851 due to unlocked bootloader).
I'm not shy flashing the zip I referenced above, just figured it might be better to update via the normal route if possible.
Thanks in advance!
LG Mobile Support Tool
Go here: http://www.lg.com/us/support/product-help/CT10000027-1412198655480-software-updates
Select the "Software Update LG Mobile" tab on the right.
Make sure you have the proper USB drivers installed.
The page states that the latest is 20E but I just flashed to do a trade-in and it was 20G.
Thanks. I will try it tonight.

Thanks again @mitbit2k3 . I went to the link you suggested and got the download tool; it updated my phone successfully after I installed the driver. There was a bit of foolishness about telling the device to do PC software but eventually got it connected. All is well. Upgrade only took ~10-15 minutes to download and install once started.

So last week my note started to receive the networksystemprovider error and the only way I can get it to stop popping up every 5 seconds is to freeze it, but then I cannot receive any text.

This is what my phone is currently running and I do have TRWP installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
What are you currently running? Stock rooted OG5 with initial release of Beastmode?
You should remove ItsOn if running custom kernel- unless you know how to remove it. I've seen ItsOn try to repeatedly to activate itself- but can't with custom kernel. It prompts or forces reboots with no end after the user factory resets in recovery when leaving fragments of ItsOn in internal memory.
I don't know what you want to do but there's many choices:
If you're looking for customization on lollipop, checkout Moar 2.1b One day marshmallow will have a ported ROM of this caliber or better.
If you're looking for stability and maybe something a bit faster, try a marshmallow custom ROM.
Just a couple of examples. Find a ROM and follow the OP install instructions closely. That most likely means using the stock tar flash in Odin to update to suggested update and turning off automatic updates before the update nag starts. But don't go back any farther than OG5 with Odin; the bootloader won't allow the older stock tars to flash.
I was actually to go to stock marshmallow but with root like I have know. I have never been really into trying all the different roms I just want to have root for the Hotspot. I tried to look through the thread but I just get more confused.

Which thread is confusing? Hotspot, update and root (aka stock tar thread in general forum) or custom ROM threads?
Which hotspot method are you using or prefer? I believe the non root method requires a do over on each boot. Don't use much at all but I prefer permanent myself for the other benefits custom services.jar provides.
That network error is caused by ItsOn not being fully removed and the custom kernel not supporting it. If you use stock kernel, you could leave ItsOn intact but some consider it a privacy and battery liability: unneeded bloat and potentially problematic.
