Hi,
I will like to know something, I have a samsung galaxy note 2 which I rooted. After that I had it unlocked.
The problem now is I am on a 3 network in the UK but now my signal bars are full but I cant make any call or receive any call.
When I try to make a call, I get a error message stating ( mobile network not available). Is it because I rooted and unlocked thats why I am not being able to use my simcard?
Please any help will do or do I have to send it to repairs because I have tried to root again but I have lost the SuperSu and other stuff.
Please help.

I have not installed any ROM, when I unlocked it everything disappeared I don't have SuperSu,Titanium backup and all the apps I installed.
I now installed triangle way but it doesn't work anymore.
I am thinking maybe it is only my 3network company who can properly unlock my device since it is now unlocked but cant use the same card I was using before.I tried to unroot but I found out that it will be better to root it again then try to unroot because the triangular away is not working on it now.

Or is it because I had rooted before unlocking? It just beats my imagination. I am also trying to root it again but it seems I am not being able to open odin again.
Is there anyone who can sort it out for me so I can pay if there is a price to pay because even my 3 simcard, is not getting the signal.
*#06# to see if your imei matches the one on the back of the device.

1.do you able to make emergency call?
If yes, device is likely locked and you need to unlock.
If your device was working fine before then try flashing stock rom for your carrier.
Another possibility is device is banned, usually happens if you purchased second hand and it is stolen
2.if you not able to make emergency call then
Check for imei
If imei is not displayed correctly like one on back of device, likely your efs folder get corrupted.

Thanks very much for your response, I have checked my IMEI at the back of my phone and the last 6 numbers/02 but when I checked with that *#06#, it is /01. I don't know if that makes such a difference.This wasn't the case when I first rooted the phone, but when I unlocked it, it all started, I don't get any signal at all, I am always getting the no signal sign on the top right corner. I also tried to root my phone again but I seem not to be able to open the odin application, I can't find any program to open it.
I want to send it back to the company but I have to reset the binary counter using triangle way but it says my phone is not rooted which is strange because I can download titanium backup but it doesn't work. I really need some help because I can't use my phone now.
What about first 15 digit when you dial *#06# ?
Does first 15digit is same as on back of device
Redowload odin and try fladhing stock rom. Don't delete extra files along with odin.exe packed in odin.zip

Thanks very much, Yeah the first 15 numbers are the same and what do you mean by flashing stock Rom?
When I check the binary counter, it says 3 counts.
Download stock rom and flash with odin then wipe cache and data.

Guys, will someone from the xda developers HELP me out here, I can't even open odin anymore with the program I was using. I want to root my phone again so I can use triangle away so I can reset the binary counter so I can return it and blame them for my network problems after unlocking my galaxy note 2 n7100.
I have tried and tried and tried but can't seem to be able to do that so if you know anyone Here in the UK or a town called Swindon in the UK please let me know so I can take it to him.
Hello users I have recently bought a new T-Mobile LG Optimus F6.
For those of you who may have just purchased one or need one rooted and or unlocked here is how to do it.
Root:
Download MotoChopper.zip that is attatched at the bottom.
Then place your phone in Debugging mode. Also check unknown sources in security.
Unzip the MotoChopper and look for "run.bat"
Once that is all done you should have root access.
Unlock:
I use Blowfish Unlocks. You can use who ever you prefer.
Dial *#06# and that will be your IMEI number.
Next submit for the code and wait.
When it comes back use: SIM_UNLOCK=00000000000000
Now to enter the code you have to put in a non supported sim and dial 2945#*500#
Then choose Network Unlock and enter your code. If the first code doesnt work do not panic.
You have 10 attempts and you usually get back 5 different codes. Try them until one works. But to be sure double check that you submitted the right IMEI to begin with.
Enjoy
works

Pretty cool phone... I sure do miss my HTC one S
I already sold mine but it was very good. The battery life on it was great. But I moved on to the Note 2 Tmo and hopefully I can sell the Note 2 and get the Note 3

Question about the rooting
Is the rooting all that is needed to enable tethering without the paying of an additional fee to T-Mobile? Basically being held hostage....... and will the phone be capable of OS updating in the future?

Do you or anyone know how to un-root the phone aftter running the motochopper? I've been looking everyone on the web and cannot find this. I'm worried in case there is ever a hardware issue that we need to unroot to get serviced.

what's the difference T-mobile v MetroPCS
Metro sold me the F6 based on the fact it works on the T-mobile networks LTE. However, I am having a hard time living with an unrooted phone so I'm hoping to use motochopper to root. But someone said it will not work. Is there really that much difference between those sold by T-mobile and those from Metro?
I "upgraded" from a Motion to have bigger screen, and now I find out that may have actually been a step down? WTF!?
All I want to do is unbloat and get rid of "insufficient storage" errors. Shouldn't be so tedious!

You can root with the vroot method.
There's some questions about what it does exactly but it does work. I should point out that the program and its cousin program are under community investigation due to possibly shady dealings with pulling and pushing files. Its cousin program (kango or something) Has been shown to pull imeid off phones and apparently send them, unencrypted, to a Chinese server.... but it's the only thing I've found to be a proven working root.
Can't unlock boot loader so no custom roms but you can debloat.
I've discovered that both my l9 and my f6 hold onto the storage allotment for moved downloads...
Not sure if you get my drift...
If you download a file to internal and move it to sd it still shows up in "downloads" when you check the storage in your settings.
To solve it open settings/storage/unmount sd and then open downloads under internal storage and delete files you know you moved.

With this "vroot", would it be safe to root while disconnected from networks to prevent unauthorized sharing of imei?
I thought of trying that myself but never got around to it.

rymanh - says "Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337M using xda premium" this indicates you are using the S4, maybe wrong thread?
There have been reports of it working with the old modem on the 747m but ONLY with TELUS. I have not read anywhere that it has worked for bell. I myself from the day that this was leaked and repacked by looserskater as a flashable, have been UNABLE to get data on bell. Everything else works flawlessly. When you go to mobile networks, with will say that there is no sim inserted. But once again this is on BELL there are screenshots of it working on TELUS as i said but they can be faked.

I747M Running Stock Android 4.3
So for the Canadian user's with the galaxy S3 I747m got the official Android 4.3 update yesterday under Rogers network. But the problem is without me knowing about this, " KNOX " also got installed with this update and I just found out there is no way to remove it. Will a developer be making say a REMOVAL TOOL to remove KNOX???
Even i am in the same boat. I also installed andriod 4.3 but KNOX came with the pack. Now whenever I try to use SuperU or Root application, Knox gives me an error.
If I click on Knox app, it asks me whether to install and create an account. Hence, I am sure, Knox is not installed yet in my device, but still I get error - "Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked. Tap to learn more." I believe this is fully related to the new security app "KNOX" from samsung that was loaded during the update.
Can anyone give some hint how to remove Knox or regain root access?
If you're looking to root 4.3 then just use cf auto root. After following the steps in the thread just update or install supersu from the play store and after opening it it'll ask if you want to disable knox. Just press yes.

I hav got a s3 i747m as a gift from canada. I live in india. I studied a lot about Region locking and its effects . I had 4.1.1 and I updated to 4.1.2 through wifi(settings> about device> software update) .. now the next update is 4.3 .. I talked to samsung customer care (national ). they said that give your phone to nearby local samsung service centre . they will modify your imei to indian based and u won't face region locking anymore. but when I visited service centre . they said that they are not authorised to unlock s3 which is not Indian region based. they can't help me. now what should I do ? I can't get a sim from canada. and can't I ever update to 4.3 or 4.4(in future) ?
thanks in advance for reading and helping me
I think the best thing you should do is root your phone and put a custom ROM on it. It's the only best thing going for you right now. If you need help with the rooting or ROM, just reply back here.

HOW TO SIM UNLOCK THE SGH-M919, no unlock code necessary.
This thread is for all of you that have tried this method and have failed: How to SIM unlock Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919 (tested - works) - Updated: 7/2/13
EDIT: I'm sorry to say that after testing this method out on a replacement s4 running stock 4.3 with the MK2 bootloader, this method DOES NOT WORK ON 4.3 OTA OR MK2 BOOTLOADER
The previous method worked on Samsung devices running the old firmware and was patched by T-Mobile and Samsung in the M919UVUAMDL release. Many new (purchased in the last few months) devices have been known to have this release pre-installed.
This is not my work, it is chainfire's genius. You must, at the very least, go and give him the "Thanks". If you can, donate a beer.
His app "RegionLockAway" was intended to de-regionlock devices that Samsung had marketed as "unlocked" (i9505, N9005, etc).
However, a common side-effect for other carrier-branded variants was that it unlocked their devices as well. I tried it and it worked on my SGH-M919 that I bought from T-Mobile.
TO UNLOCK THE M919,
1. Make sure that you are on the completely stock touchwiz setup that came with the phone (bootloader, kernel, and stock touchwiz rom). You can restore via kies/odin here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628. Again, thank the developer if you used it.
2. Install RegionLockAway Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470551
3. Thank the developer, even if it doesn't work.
4. Run the RegionLockAway app and click "Region Unlock"
5. Follow all onscreen instructions carefully.
6. Reboot and test it out with preferably a non-North American SIM. This ensures that not only is it unlocked, but also region unlocked. If it asks you for a code, it failed.
As a standard disclaimer:
If you bricked it, it's your fault. I tried it on my own and it worked for me.
As always, I highly recommend donating to the developers who helped you.
First time first! Thanks for this info. I themed chain fire as well

region unlock and sim unlock aren't the same as far as I know.
You can use sims outside of your region (country) but you can't slap an at&t sim card in there and use it.

No they are not BUT they're closely related that doing one usually result in the other. RegionLockAway will SIM unlock when use correctly. I used it a few months ago to SIM unlock my GS4. After it was done I put in an AT&T SIM and made a few calls plus try a few websites.

Like I said, SIM unlock is usually a side effect of Region-unlocking.

T-Mo gave me an "Unlock code" and it was from Sammy, and it would not work. After 3 tries, each with a different code, it still would not work, so I gave up.
Today using chainfire's app, it works, and I insert an At&T sim card, and it doesn't ask for the code anymore! it's UNLOCKED, and it recieves a signal and connects to the internet via my wireless router. All's good and after placing my T-Mo sim back in, it's all good!
All the connections still like it used to be.
Awesome!
I just called tmobile they provide me with unlock code.

If your phone is SIM unlocked but region locked, RegionLock Away will unlock your phone. If it is SIM locked in addition to being region locked, RegionLock Away can't do anything for you on its own. There's two different locks in play here. If regular unlock methods didn't work (including paid methods of entering in the code), RegionLock Away should finish getting rid of the lock.

If you're on a custom rom, and you're on 4.3, you do not have access to the service menus. You need to be on a stock Samsung rom and on 4.2.2.
When I'm talking about paid codes, I'm talking about the unlocker services online that require you to tell them your IMEI, not the RegionLock away app.
Ok, so rnd 2 happened last night. I reverted back to 4.2.2 via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628but yet again i cant make calls. So now what can be wrong? Is ot cause on on mk2? I tried to go to md modem but i kept gettin fail in odin...if i make a call the recipient sees it...but nothing..

I would have thought the stock MDL firmware would have also reverted the modem to MDL. I suggest finding one that does (re-ODIN this one first - I recall a few people said they had to do it twice) , as possibly both the ROM and Modem need to be MDL for the unlock process to work.
OK. You have to be completely stock in order for this to work. I am not sure why you are getting a fail message on Odin. Can you maybe give us a description of how you are doing it? The Sim unlock thread clearly says you have to be completely stock which will be android version 4.22 with MDL. You are back on 4.22 but you still have the mk2 modem. We will have to figure out how to get you completely stock before we can go any further.

Go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=14362 and download the 4.22 file for M919. The link should go directly to it. Follow their instructions and you should be completely stock one you're done. Once your done be sure to test your device and make sure you have sound. If you don't have sound you most likely have a hardware problem so you will have to root again and reset your counter then unroot so you can return your device if you haven't voided your warranty. If you do have sound then go back here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283068 and Sim unlock your phone and profit. Good luck!
