My nephew took his U.S.A. AT&T locked Atrix HD to the the Philippines and bought a sim locally over there. He entered a wrong unlock code too many times and now the phone says subsidy locked. please contact service provider. It is hard locked with no place to enter an unlock code.
Only work around I've been able to find has something to do with flashing brazil radios however that only seems to work on Atrix 2 and older phones and not the Atrix HD. Is there any custom rom/radios flash that would get the phone working again?
I've contacted AT&T and they said there's nothing they can do and suggested I contact Motorola.
Motorola said they can fix it for $109 service fee. Phone is not worth that kinda money,
How would Motorola fix it? If they can flash it back to factory fresh you would think there would be someway that I could do similar.
I hear that there may be unlock services that can also unlock hard locked phones. anyone know of one that has worked for them?
thanks for any help
If you phone is saying contact service provider with nowhere to put in a code, if you leave it there for awhile it should change to enter subsidy password.

I have tried leaving it on that screen for 3 days straight and it never changed.
I cant be the only one with this problem..You would think there would be a workaround by now. I wonder if there's a way to flash a different radio like the brazil radios for th atrix 2, but ones that would work on the Atrix HD?
thanks

You can flash different radios via fastboot. You just need to download the factory firmware, extract the radio bin file, and flash it.
1) install the adb/fastboot files to a single directory on my computer (I use the files from Myth Tools);
2) download the firmware (http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=7);
3) extract the NON-HLOS.bin file to your computer in the adb/fastboot directory from step 1;
4) open a command prompt window as an administrator;
5) install the Motorola USB drivers and connect my booted phone with USB debugging enabled;
6) from the command line, type "adb reboot bootloader" and press the enter key to get my phone into AP Fastboot Flash mode;
7) from the command line, type "fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin" and press enter; and
8) reboot the phone and check to make sure the new baseband is shown.
I downloaded Android 4.1.1 from that site to flash back to the stock rom after trying out CM 11. That should of flashed the NON-HLOS.bin too right?
If so it didn't help..phone is still stuck at the subsidy lock screen.
Do you know of any specific radio that would fix the subsidy lock issue?
thanks

Where were you advised to flash back to stock? All i see is radio/non-HLOS.bin being discussed.

I never said I was advised to flash back to stock...all I was saying is that I had been trying a modded rom previously and had already flashed the stock ATT rom and was just asking if that had flashed my NON-HLOS.bin as well.

it sounds like he can't get into his phone due to the subsidy lock?
All AHD sbf/zip files have a xml file in it. its even stated in other threads that this file exists in the zips. RSD Lite flashes according to what the xml file says, thats why they say in the guides to delete certain lines, that way you don't flash something to brick/damage your phone.
you could have easily booted into fastboot and flashed the file, this is what was you were being advised to do.

I can get into the phone and all functions work except making calls. When I put in a sim I get an error message saying subsidy locked. contact service provider. Only emergency calls can be made. and there's a button that says dismiss, but there is no where to put in a code.
When I flashed the stock firmware the only 2 lines I removed were the 2 "getvar" lines because rsd lite will not flash with those lines left in, so I am assuming that everything got flashed including the NON-HLOS.bin, but just to make sure I flashed just the NON-HLOS.bin as sugested by audit13 and it still says the subsidy lock message.
I have searched the web for several days now and it appears this is some kind of permanent lock. Older Atrix, Atrix 2 phones I read you could flash Brazil radios and it would work but I have found no mention of any success on the Atrix HD.
For a somewhat aging, but still very useful phone you would think there would be some kind of work around for this by now. ugh!
thanks

Hi guys, I am having an issue i cant seem to resolve on my razr i. apologies if this has already been covered in another thread (or 10, which is usually the way with these things because nobody reads the other threads) I have been through a load of other threads but cannot seem to resolve my issue so i started my own.
Right, I have switched from iphone to razr and am not stupid when it comes to jailbreaking etc so thought rooting the razr wouldnt be a problem. when trying to root it it failed and i am stuck at the fastboot menu, however, everything on the menu is disabled so i cant use it. i get the usual message:
fastboot reason: flash failure
fastboot max download size: 100mb
usb connected
if i try to use anything on the menu i get the following message:
fastboot menu disabled.
my phone is not unlocked and not rooted. i have barely done anything to it other than install a couple of free apps. i am unable to progress past this screen. the phone is GB and is on 4.0.4
any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. again, apologies if this has already been covered, none of the solutions i found were able to resolve my issue. as i said, i had no problems jailbreaking my old iphone, i am a bit of a n00b when it comes to droids...

Had the same problem, I used the recommendation in this thread, 5th post and it worked, but afterwards need to re-download apps from PlayStore:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36612151
Follow the instructions exactly - you need the drivers and RSD lite on Windows PC, then connect the phone via usb cable that came with it; and you'll need a full unzip program (cost) so you can move the unzipped files into RSD lite. Get the right flash file though - there's a list in the linked post if you don't want GB retail which I used. Important: this only works for ICS 4.0.4 and don't try to downgrade to an earlier version than what's currently on your phone e.g. v.39 to v.31, for example.
Good luck.
AW: [Q] razr i problems - fastboot menu
If the solution from mervluk does not work (It didn't work for me either) , you should try if you are able to use the fast boot commands .
To do that simply connect your phone to the PC. Then download fast boot , if you do not already have that. It is in the .zip from the RAZR I root thread.
The go to the downloaded folder. There hold shift and perform a right mouse click. Then choose" start a command prompt here "or something similar (don't know how the option is called in English).
Then type in
fastboot reboot
When the phone reboots you might be able to unlock your phone and flash the software.
BUT BE AWARE! YOU WILL LOSE YOUR WARRANTY!!
So you better try the other solution first. This should be your last option.
If you don't know how to unlock the bootloader look in the RAZR I forum or pn me .

Glad about that. This phone can be a bit of a so-and-so. ics is being updated ota to Jelly Bean 4.1.2, which I've avoided so far to keep fm (although not activated on the supplied software). I did succeed with unlocking the bootloader (loose warranty - important) following the whole complicated procedure on Moto's website - but couldn't myself use the shortcuts on here. (Then had to set up again and re-download everything from the PlayStore). It required the Moto-supplied key. I then rooted, though I think the JB ota download unroots again? You can't use RSD lite with JB.
With JB the procedures are different, and a modified JB European (not for use with GB) firmware is now available on another thread which is impressing some posters. But I think just be a bit cautious as there does not appear to be any fix for the "service code corrupt" bootloader error yet. Looks like the options are very restricted whilst no-one understand the interaction between Google Android and the intel atom chipset.
I have a network unlock key from one of the commercial suppliers (cellunlocker.net), but haven't needed to try and use it yet!
So i have seen many guys charging a good amount of money for this, DFS is charging like 50$ per phone. Many guys are struggling to get thr phone working since they are unable to flash Akey/SPC which is needed for some carriers like Reliance, TATA in India atleast.
I'm not going to put usual diag setup stuff right now, or may not able to update it at all.
The below commands should be sent step by step as mentioned through DFS or CDMA workshop or any other tools which you prefer to use. Also you need to first send the 16 digit password for your phone model. I believe for L720 it is "2012112120131219"
----To change SPC to 000000 or any anything

In the second last line i.e. "4B1305000000000000000000303030303030", the last 12 digits are your SPC hex value, if you want to change it to anything else like 123456, you need to edit the last 12 digits and make it look like "4B1305000000000000000000313233343536"
----To change the A-Key to anything, in the below case, akey decimal to be flashed is 11111111133333333785 (the akey hex will be: 9A3298B4E238A719)

In the above cmds, if you take a close look at the last 16 characters in the 2nd last line and the mentioned akey hex, you maybe observe that the akey hex in the cmd is in a reverse manner. You can change generate your akey online or via regular tools like DFS and arrange it in the similar manner to flash. You might need to downgrade your modem in order to get this working, please post here if it works without downgrading the modem.
This has been tested on 2xGalaxy Victory and one Sprint L720, so please test and report if this works for you.

Good write up. I flash phones and make tutorials. Some people on here claim they can do this and do that but, haven't written a clear guide yet on how to do it. Lol But, my guides are free and to the public.
Also this should be in the general section. Development is only for roms, etc.
as for resetting the SPC, you will need to downgrade the modem from MF9 to MDL or MDC... i have tried it with MF9 and didn't work...
thanks for sharing

If you dont mind someone asking, how do you downgrade the modem? I tried to downgrade the complete os from samsung-udpates but nothing has worked for me.... any other suggestions??? thx in advance
to downgrade the modem just download the old modem's tar file and flash it via odin.. it should work without any problems

Thank you this is the only thing i have seen that has actually had some success, at least i did not get any errors but how do i know if the akey is in if i press read i just get a lot of cps errors. DOes the trial version of dfs not let you do anything in the cave ?
anyway thanks again hopefully this works.
Many parameters on a number of phones are write only, so you won't be able to read them.
flashing rom fear
So I got my phone working on my cdma carrier in Indonesia. But now I am concerned about flashing New roms esp using Odin and factory resetting. Will I lose my settings with a factory reset?
How do I flash roms and still keep my network settings?

I did downgrade the baseband to both MDC and MDL with it still not working.
Any ideas how to change the SPC to 000000?
Been awhile but I thought I posted an update. Downgraded to the MDC modem and tired again and it solved my problem.
Thank you for the awesome post.

You need a PC software such as DFS to send these command to your phone. You also have to enable diag mode in your phone before connecting it to the PC's USB.

Did you do anything to the bootloader by flashing any files? Did you unlock the bootloader? If the answer is yes then you might have an issue with flashed files.
If no and you have not touched the device then you might have a rare error. If you have a carrier phone with Verizon you might want to try their "repair assistant" which is the same as what is mentioned on the phone screen. It seems to have a repair function. You will have to connect the phone via USB to your computer. Download the assistant from here. https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-209211/
If you don't have a Verizon moto x4 or you have another carrier then either still give the software a shot or take it to a Motorola service centre.
Can pretty much confirm the same with an old moto z force post on the Lenovo forums. If you have Verizon downloading the software will solve the problem.
I know that I was trying to flash to stock and that was the result, rsd can see the device but when I flash it it says failed to switch to fastboot
Yea bootloader has been unlocked for weeks and started acting up and I was trying to clear it and start over and no I can't get it to flash spar_chunks
Any ideas
Notice you mentioned RSD failing to switch to fastboot... I assume you tried reflashing the GPT/bootloader directly from fastboot?
If you hit volume up/down from the screen you posted, does it go through the other fastboot screens?
No i get the quausb or whatever that is in my comp for deviecs now...and no screen mow and yes the parition was compermised by error on my part
I have a phone I brought over to T-Mobile. An Unlocked SM-920A from AT&T. There is a must have feature I need from T-Mobile to get the T-Mobile Signal Booster to work. The signal booster works fine but, my ATT phone does not recognize or see the device because it does not have the T-Mobile apps on it. Is there a way to make this happen?
My Advice
If If I was you I would do a clean install with stock firmware for T-Mobile... You can find the Firmware at sammobile.com download usb drivers for android and latest version of odin on your pc... you can get them at Samsung.com take your phone and go to device info in settings.... tab on the build number 7 times to open developer options... go into dev options turn on oem unlock and enable usb debugging then do a full backup on a cloud server of your choice or on your pc... wherever you feel comfortable.... Then power your phone off and wait about three or four minutes then hold power vol up and home all together until your phone goes into recovery mode... once in there delete partition wipe cache... now your phone is just like a pc with no operating system... take the firmware you downloaded and unzip it until you haveyou the individual tar or md5 files.... unzip and install odin on your pc... be sure to let it run as admin .... I kmow yousaid you know about pc systems so you should know what I'm talking about... if not right click on the odin exe file and click open as admin load your unzipped files into the corresponding places in odin AP PIT ..... you should not need to change any settings.... Make sure you installed the usb drivers you downloaded earlier.... take your phone hold power vol down and home till a blue screen pops warning about installing custom roms.... push up to go in download mode... take and tether your phont to your pc with usb cable you prob use to charge your phone.... after its tethered odin should turn light blue or yellow in COM 1 and say your connected... now just clickstart and let odin work his magic... if you put the files in correctly you should have a new phone with all T Mobile Firmware in a couple minutes you will see a progress bar on your phone as odin is flashing the rom When done restart your phone as normal and enjoy the correct firmware for your phone... if you screw up I'm not even sure if you can use your backup as a recovery from a clean install... I have nrver needed it.... Hope that helps I sent a friend request so if you have any questions message me,,,,,, Later

Oem unlock only "enables" bootloader unlocking. You still need an actual unlock method. There has never been one for g920a to my knowledge...
So, basically, there is no way I can get these ATT apps removed and get T-Mobile's installed?>

Oem unlock only "enables" bootloader unlocking. You still need an actual unlock method. There has never been one for g920a to my knowledge...

This appears to be a carrier unlock site, not a bootloader unlock method.

I'm not sure that it matters or not. Mine is currently running G920AUCS7ERC1. Please help and Thank You Very Much for taking all the time to assist me with this.
unlock code SM-G920A
Hi DAVID,
Your unlock code: 06472606
Unlock instructions:
1. Turn off your Galaxy.
2. Take the AT&T SIM out of the slot
3. Insert the SIM from the other wireless carrier.
4. Power the phone back on.
5. When the phone prompts, provide the unlock code that you received from AT&T
6. Complete the remaining setup process by following the displayed instructions.
7. Start using your Galaxy normally.
Im not 100% sure this will work on your phone because I gave them my IMEI number but its not registered so it cant hurt to try good luck I didn't even need that mines unlocked already just trying to help you out send me your IMEI if it don't work ill get you the correct code

I have the same phone SM-G920AUCU6EQCF thats with android 7.0... I have not installed the update to 7.0.1 yet because I can not find a way to root it yet.. So I am going to try to downgrade to the stock 5.0.1 so I can root and install TWRP recovery I do know that if you go in developer mode and turn on the OEM unlock thats your bootloader.... then you can unlock your phone so you can add rom for any carrier... refer to thread here in forumns about how to do that... then just follow my instructions and it should work. I did make one mistake in my instructions... Dont mess with PIT settings just 4 files BL CS AP CSC to load in odin

Were you successful in your attempt to downgrade back to the original 5.01? Mine has as baseline of 6.01. But, I can't find any of the original stock OEM files to attempt it myself. Was really curious if you were successful in your quest?
Thanks and have a great day!
The Alcatel 5033T (Telstra) I have is Telstra-locked to the point that most online unlock-code providers can't get a code to free it up. The only places which say they can do it require you to bring it in (they're in other states) or they want you to install Teamviewer (!) and they'll do it remotely.
I'm sure this is a FAQ on other phone models, but I see nothing for the Alcatel 1 here yet. What are the chances someone with past experience on ADB can figure out how to get this working with a non-Telstra SIM?
Did you manage to sort this
How to mount sd card
saw someone posted this, any Guru can verify the steps? or make it clearer?
**********************************************************************************
On the 5033T fastboot will flash only the system.img not the boot or recovery
image,so Magisk or TWRP cannot be flashed via fastboot. Also to flash via SPflashtool for the MT6739 you now need a custom DA and Auth file for that phone.
The downloaded edited 5033D system image will give you root access but install
RootCheckerBasic app to check as sometimes the root access disappears.
The phone modem is in the vendor.img partition and so should be unaltered as you
have flashed the system.img partition only.Your bands should be unaltered. Install the MTK Engineering Mode apk and use the bandmode function to see the bands. (Phone Developer option must be on(Tap build number untill developer options appear)).
Now that you have root access you can now network unlock the phone. Using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer. In the phone /vendor/protect_f/md you will see a file ST33_004. This file determines whether the phone is network locked.
If you get this file from an unlocked phone and put it in place of the one
in the locked phone the phone will be then unlocked and vice versa.
Download the 5033A firmware from the Needrom site. From the download get the protect1.img (in another files). Download to your PC the Ext4Unpacker tool.
Use the tool to extract the ST33_004 file from the 5033A protect1.img .
This is the unlocked ST33_004.
Using ES or Root Exp rename the existing ST33_004 in the phone as ST33_004bac
and copy the new ST33_004 file into the directory. The phone will now accept
non Telstra/Boost SIMs .
Also download the Mobile Upgrade S Gotu2 v5.3.5 tool to your PC. This is the TCL(i.e.=Alcatel) official firmware upgrade tool. It replaces the firmware in
your phone with the latest version on their server for your phone. For a stock
phone it will upgrade to their latest stock version.
For the 5033T+5033D 'hybrid' ,when started the tool appears to be downloading
the 5033T firmware from the server, so it seems that the tool could be used
to return the phone to stock, but this not tried or tested yet.

Where'd you find this? I'm willing to try 'cos it'll let me get my son off Telstra's overpriced plan and onto something affordable like Jeenee (which the rest of us are on). I've had this Telstra SIM for years so I was hoping they'd unlock the phone for me - after all, it was sent as a replacement for an older phone that'll be out of service when they retire some of the towers in our area - but when I call in to have them do that, they say they'll have to call me back and (of course) never do...
Found the post from ozbargain forum with this 5033D link

The Ozbargain thread now has a lot more info than it did a few months ago - I'm still working through it myself, but here's the link: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/446160
