[Q] SIM lock after JB upgrade, [FIXED] - sim unlock - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

all JB ROMs will sim lock your device and flashing the network lock fix + s2 unlock will not work. It's a strange situation where you can receive sms and place a phone call, but after first phone call, you lose the network signal and are unable to connect back to network. every time you go into settings - mobile network it tells you to insert sim. also data connectivity doesn't work at all.
anyone have any fixes or workarounds for this ?
only fix at the moment is to go back to ICS where the network lock + s2 unlock works :fingers-crossed:

same problem

seems i solved this myself :highfive: good news everyone, we can unlock it for free
seems i was able to solve it. the issue is that the network unlock apk and s unlock will only partially unlock your Note. so when you upgrade to another rom, because you only have a partial unlock it will re-lock your phone. the solution is to use the following tool galaxysim (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846451) when you are on ICS or GB (i have only tried this on ICS, so not 100% sure if it will work on GB). i would recommend you use the apk from xda and not the one from market, also do not update the app to latest version, use the apk from xda.
What i have done is :
1) Run tool from ICS and unlock. I already had partial unlock with network unlock from Criskelo and galaxy_s unlock from Helroz. GalaxySim now show full unlock.
2) Upgraded to JB ROM, phone did not ask for network unlock code as usual, phone was already fully locked.
I would recommend that you check the status of your sim lock before each upgrade to another ROM with GalaxySim and fully unlock it.
It's this easy. Took a while to figure it out, but hope it will help you.

i never looked my phone so i got no problems,

not all, no reported case on roms cm or aokp/sp based.
There isnt an official stock jb out yet for n7000..... just one leak...
an unlocked efs backup works, just restore whenever a flash causes your phone to be locked.
So you are using a leaked beta rom. Full of bugs so not ready for daily lol.

tried that already, with a backup efs from ICS and it didn't work for me. but still unsure why the network lock is happening on the phone, as i can use it on multiple providers in my area.

CM9 and whatsapp

I flashed cm9 n tried to install whatsapp. At the verification process I couldn't receive the code from whatsapp to verify.
Whatsapp recognised that I wasn't running official firmware.
I really like cm9 but I need whatsapp.
I've searched around but couldn't find an answer.
Any idea?

Seems as whatsapp is having (server) problems since a couple of days.
I also don´t get that verification sms on my Galaxy Nexus (Jelly Bean 4.1.1) nor on my old HTC Desire with CM7...i tried to contact the support some days ago but didn´t get an answer yet. I read about similar issues on german Android forums, there are some more people with verification problems.
Before that i was running whatsapp with several custom Roms without problems...so it shouldn´t be a problem running whatsapp with CM9 or any other custom Rom.
.
Alright I'll give it another try later on when I installed cm9 n tried whatsapp it failed to verify. After a while I installed stock firmware and whatsapp had no problem verifying.

Just to let you know I installed AniDroid 0.8 (Which I believe is based on CM9?) on to my Note last night... What's App activated fine for me and has been working fine all day today, no problems at all.

enter it on on your phone
wats app will get activated with the phone code

I'm having the same verification problem since 10 days. Every time I try to install whatsapp, it tells me that the verification failed and that I have to wait for 2 days until I can give it another try.
As my last attempt was on Tuesday, I will try it again today!
install gb activate on that then go back on cm9 lol
especially if first time on phone and sim combo.

Finally decided to flash cm9 stable and installed whatsapp. Everything works fine.
I had titanium backup whatsapp if normal install method fails.
Thanks everyone for their help.
Greatly appreciated.

guys is there no fix or workaround for this?
using cm9 stable but it just wont verify
stable cm9 and whatsapp fresh install works without problem for me.
have u tried the titanium backup method? its where u backup whatsapp using tb from a working rom and install cm9 and use tb to restore the app back in.
other ppl in the thread also suggested the sim swapping method.
try them all.

[Q] 3G on custom ROMs

Hi guys, finally decided to put down my sensation and move onto the Galaxy S III. I'll miss it =[
So I've bought a UK Galaxy S III I9305 from T-Mobile.
I've managed to root and that and it everything was working fine so I thought I'd flash some ROMs and see what one I like. I flashed two of them (Pandoriam and rXTREME). They worked fine except mobile data would not work on either of them. I followed some instructions in the thread which said to turn on GSM only, restart then switch back to WCDMA. But it still wouldn't work. I flashed different radios as well (or modems as they're called for samsungs) and that didn't help either.
I've just flashed a stock 3.1.2 EE firmware and the device is back to complete functionality and the 3G came on immediately. I also noticed when I booted the phone the first thing that popped up was a box asking if I wanted to enable data connections; this never happened on the custom ROMs. I figured it must be me or my device since it didn't work on both ROMs, hence my posting here instead of their threads. Am I doing something wrong here?
Any help appreciated. Cheers.
Did you check the apn settings? When I flashed those roms I had to re enter the settings again

Ah this wasn't suggested. If you can be bothered could you possibly outline what I need to do. I know how to get to APN settings, do I just note down what they are now on a stock ROM and set them the same way on a custom ROM?
Thanks.

[SOLVED] Restricted access changed

The other thread was closed due to use of Spanish I think...
I'm now suffering with this issue.. My city always had a good signal but from last days it started...
Happens every 5min ... Any tip?
____
Solved. Rooted (JB, finally!), installed Batakang ROM and *#*#4636#*#* (doesn't work at stock JB).. switched to WCDMA only..
Didn't have any disconnection again!
Re: Restricted access changed
Do you upgrade to JB?
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
Yep but it worked great a few weeks!
is a problem with the quality of the phone network, to me was the same but only in places where the signal was not good, it is a problem of the radio that comes with JB
if we get root.. is it possible to change radio?
Re: Restricted access changed
I think thats a boot loader thing? But if flashing via recovery can then yes.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
Even with the locked bootloader?
Re: Restricted access changed
That I highly doubt
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
I think this is not network fault..
I think that it happens only when the phone gets hot and the 3G is in use.. It won't happen while I'm at wifi
Thanks Dan to root my phone! It is finally working perfectly now
did I miss something, can you all say if it's the phone or network. Have a dual sim Huawei G500 works fine if both slots uses the same network.But once the other network is introduce, problems!!!

Hi, what i did to solve this is installing phone info and with it i can choose the network type. for some reasons when 4g signal isn't good enough it gives that error so i switch to gsm only and i never get that error in my house wich is mainly where it happens.
hope this helps you.

dont know
Be sure ur not lock ur sim with password before flash anything, or ull be stuck with sim pin request...

[Q] Custom ROM [CM10] for Unlocked Sim

I want to install CM10.
My phone is from Verizon USA and now I have it in Mexico with another company, when I bought the phone the guy gave me the unlock code for the phone to be able to use any SIM
My question would be, if I install CM10 my phone will get locked again? And if so, with the same code I can unlock it again?
Thank u
No it unlocks at the hardware level so you are fine.
Sent from my Droid using xda app-developers app
CM10 Stable?
Thank you NOw what worries me is some people saying there are problems with CM10 and GSM (not recognizing the SIM), but I was wondering, in case that happens, restoring the backup would it be fixed?
Has someone else tried CM10 and knows any bug or problems?
That is just a software bug if it happens to you. Easily fixable by going to a different ROM.
