I just browsed with root explorer searching for smth and then I noticed that my phones productcode says korean.
On my first ever flash of the phone I forgot to back up the /efs folder as I read about this later. How can I restore to original (german phone, unbranded)? And is this necessary at all? I'm not really planning to use a stock rom ever again, unless I want to send it back for service... Does this actually affect something?
And .. this doesnt/didnt change the phones IMEI or how its called number, did it?
EDIT: I actually did have a .bak of my nv_data.bin and the md5.. I renamed those to the right names etc and rebooted and now the product code is back to german again. But in the IMEI subfolder it still says KOR in that file there.
To get back to the German code.
Hi,
I had the same problem and successfuly changed it back by doing the following - dial *#272*YOUR IMEI# When this opens you get a choice of codes. Change yours to DBT (Germany). A word of warning! This will clear all your settings and apps so backup anything you need before hand.
Good luck and let me know if all is well.

Inside IMEI folder, you could change content of "mps_code.dat" from KOR to your german one.
Don't forget to also change versions numbers inside "build.prop"...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
what exactly do i have to change in the build.prop then?
Also I used the prop browser from sgstools and for ro.product.locale.language it says en and for the region it says GB (guess thats why after a factory reset the language is english.. but thats fine)
I am on AT&T and tried to access the cingular videos web site. I get the web page not available. What do I have to change in the roms that i put on my captivate that would allow me to access these again. My phone is not unlocked, so i dont know how to resolve this. I have change the android id back to original everytime I flash a new rom.....any ideas???
build.prop i think it is.... att is not seeing it as an att phone. if you use docs rom kitchen make sure you use the jh7 csc and you should be fine. if not you have to find a att captivate build.prop
I'm using CM7 and recently network unlocked my phone as I am going to Europe in a few weeks. I know on stock roms you can use *#7465625# and it will bring you to the network status screen, but this doesn't work on CM7.
Does anyone know how I can get to this screen?
Thanks for the help guys.
I did some more research and found out the number combos/system menus are specific only to captivate roms so I'll have to flash to stock/modified stock rom in order to check. NBD
However, I don't know whether the network unlock is persistent between roms. Do I have to unlock it everytime I flash? Everytime I change roms? Is it one-and-done?
Does ANYBODY have any knowledge on this subject?
SGS Unlock Pro makes a backup of the original and modifies a particular file. This file has bit settings that seem to control lock status.
I don't remember the exact file. I guess as long as the file doesn't change, you'll stay unlocked.
looking at my phone, I think the file is nv_data.bin

Wolf,
About the Ativ S with region CSC ZTO
I did all the things we talked about. following the entire procedure you sent to me, but the result was not so good.
After hard resets, my carrier continues broadcasting me a message in every reception signal change (and turning off the broadcast messages in settings don't resolve this issue).
I follow these steps:
1) downgrade to GDR3 (I8750OXACMJ1 + original CSC with ATO)
2) hard reset
3) install all updates via ota (including wp8.1.1 + sammy update + new bootloader)
4) hard reset
5) MBN Creator to change region with the file you sent (evrything was ok, all 5 "Dones" appear)
6) reboot
7) hard reset
8) in Diagnosis (*#1234#) the ZTO was there (system adjust CSC version to I8750ZTODNI3)
9) everything was going fine, system downloaded my portuguese language package for keyboard and speech
10) engines to install language support .......... and.........
11) ANNOOOOOYIIIIING BROADCAST MESSAGES!!!! (((
So, now I downgrade again to GDR3, but this time with my original region CSC ZTO.
Everything is great. Carrier broadcasting was gone, but no updates for me.
Thats it. I'm waiting for a solution, because official wp8.1.1 is awesome,
Ativ S worked better than ever for me on it.
Wolf,
thank you A LOT for supporting me, I hope you find the "missing line" that cause that region carrier issue n the new MBN Creator.. I'm sure many people will benefit from the solution.
There is an option in "advanced text messages" settings. May be it's selected.
You original CSC version (that you flashed) was I8750ZTOALL3. So, it was updated somehow. May be Samsung did something wrong once more.

I tried this like i said in the reply. No changes at all.
And that thing only happens with differents CSCs than the original ZTO here in Brazil.
I read in some place, I can't remember, some guys from London, when travelling and using local SIM carriers, had the same problem.
My question is: why when i aplly the CSC ZTO directly in rom flashing the things work fine..... but when i flash only the CSC in wp8.1.1 it turns my region into a mess?
Misteries..............

Some curious..
I noticed something when I tryed the rom I8750OXAALL3 (GDR1) + original ATO CSC.
In Diagnosis info versions (*#1234#) appears in fields PDA, Phone and CSC >>> last 4 characters ALL3.
Then the system updated "Over The Air" to GDR2, and the last 4 characters changed to BME1.
Same happened after GDR3 update. Last 4 characters changed to CMJ1 ...
and finally after the wp8.1.1, last 4 characters changed to DNI3.
In all these times, keeping the rest intact, I8750OXA----.
And conferring with the available ROMS out there, the names match.
So, i guess the last 4 characters indicate the system version, GDR 1,2,3, 8.1.1 ..
When I did those tries with your file MBN to my ZTO in WP8.1.1, before hard reseting the diagnosis didn't open, and I couldn't view the version that it showed to the CSC.
After hard reseting, my CSC was I8750ZTODNI3
Now I'm using GDR3 flashed with my original I8750ZTOALL3.csc file, and in diagnosis the version shown in CSC field is I8750ZTOCMJ1. >>>AFTER HARD RESET!
Before hard reset, it showed I8750ZTOALL3.
Crazy. But its working fine.
I think when this rom I8750OXADNI3 (official 8.1.1) appear, it will save a lot of people in same situation as I. With all these flashes that I've done in the last few days, the best choice always was flashing a ROM togheter the original CSC ZTO.
Ativ SE
Will the MBN Creator work with an Ative SE, If so is there anything that needs to be altered?
Can a Custom Rom be made for the Ativ SE like the older models?

Changing some registry entries
Hey everyone, I have an Ativ S Neo with the option to enable voice roaming greyed out. Someone found a fix by changing these four keys from 1 to 0:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Connectivity\CellUXOEMConfigurable\]
"HideDataRoamingInternational=0"
"HideDataRoamingDomestic=0"
"HideVoiceRoamingInternational=0"
"HideVoiceRoamingDomestic=0"
People have been using this fix by interop unlocking the phone and using the registry editor, but I thought maybe this tool would be easier. Could someone help me out? I generated an MBN using the tool and added exactly what appears above to the registry. I don't want any other tweaks. So my questions are 1) did I format the above correctly? 2) If so, how do I use the MBN generated to actually make the change on the phone? I've flashed my phone back to stock before using the flash kit, but I've never flashed anything custom. Do I use the .wp8 file that came with the flash kit, and the MBN instead of the CSC? That would be easy!
Maybe I would be better off just interop unlocking using the other guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2435697) but I wasn't sure if that still works, plus it seems harder.
Thanks for your help!

To put it differently, and perhaps better, will adding those four keys above change the existing values from 1 to 0? Will it overwrite? Thanks,
This seems great, really appreciate the effort wolf. Going to play around with this soon.
How to change model name?
I've looked at the MBN Creator tool and it isn't obvious how to change a phone's model name from there. Your OP said it was possible to change the phone model (model name?) on a Neo; how does one do so?
I'm migrating from one carrier to another and I have the new carrier's signed CSC and WP8 images. Each carrier uses a different model name for the same phone, and looking at the raw files it does seem all of these phones share the same code base.
Even so, the WP8 downloader tools (up to 5.3 anyway) will not send a mismatched model number image up to a phone, and there didn't seem to be a way to override that.
And a Thanks already for the MBN Creator tool.

MBN Creator changes phone model of the ROM, not phone. You can use any tweak tool to change phone model like it's done for update to WP10.
Hmmm wait.
I have Samsung Ativ S with 8.10.14157.200. Can I use this hack to do interop unlock? I can't unlock it GDR2 way because diagnosis app is lacking regedit now.
Also sorry but You didnt gave any instructions how this tool works. Do I need to have WP8 rom and then generate MBN? Or can I just generate MBN and flash it to my current ROM? Do device need to be in download mode? Do I need to match CSC with current ROM?
So many questions, sorry.I would like to be sure that im doing it the good way.
Regards
