Is sim unlock number inside the nv_data for N7000?

Allrgight guys, question says it all. I have a galaxy N7000 that was originally for ClaroPR. I have downgraded the version from KL4 to KJ1 which can be unlocked using CF factoryRFS. Problem is that Helroz galaxy unlock apk is not doing it for me. So i extracted the nv_data to check if i could find the code inside but no luck at all. So if someone knows something about this issue ill be very glad. Just in case, after the downgrade the phone still shows baseband version KL2 which makes me think that maybe the reason....

Cannot get a signal after unlocking S5830D Galaxy Ace

Hey guys,
I have a Telus unlocked S5830D
I rooted, installed an app on the market callled Galaxy Ace Unlock and proceeded to unlock my Ace.
Unlocked just fine (or so I thought). The phone is completely unlocked, but I cannot get a signal.
The IMEI is still on my ace, so that's okay i hope.
Anyhow, I thought maybe installing CWM and Flashing AOKP might help my situation.
Same thing here - no signal. (I'm using a Rogers SIM)
My own conclusion is that Unlocking messed up the efs folder (I did NOT do a backup - I was unaware).
What do I do now to regain signal?
-I have Odin'd back to stock GB 2.3.4 Telus stock Firmware: S5830DTLKI4_TLSKI4_Android_2.3.4
-Still no signal.
-Checked Rogers APN
-Dialed *#*#4636*#*# and forced CDMA preferred; also set band preference to north american band.
I'm lost!

So are you having any problems? You can use different PDA(rom) and CSC(sales code) as long as they are from the same android version. It shouldn't matter otherwise. The baseband version will affect your reception and is region specific(ie. What may work well in one region may not work so well in another) If you want stock samsung firmware, the version you install will replace the PDA, CSC and baseband that you have now.

hey thnx for the reply ..
ahan i see ok hmm i sought of got u but still the doubt remains the same which regions firmware should i download now?
My baseband and IMEI denote germany (unlike my CSC which denotes ireland) so should i download the kikkat version for germany or ireland? i reside in UAE so getting firmware of Germany/ireland that wouldnt be an issue ryt?( as i already mentioned the firmware presently in the phone isnt of UAE either n is either of germany or ireland ... so i know geting of a new firmware of these countries shouldnt ceate an issue bt just want to be on the safe side so i am asking u)

So I'm assuming you really want official firmware. I would suggest a custom rom but it's your choice. I don't think installing 4.4.4 official firmware will be a problem, only with the baseband as I mentioned earlier might be a bit hit or miss as it will be chosen for the region where it was released. Also once you install 4.4.4 I'm pretty sure you won't be able to go back to 4.3. The only thing I can suggest if you are certain you want official is try one, then if you face any reception problems or excessive battery drain or something try another one. You are not limited to Germany/Ireland either: By flashing the firmware you download, you replace the PDA, CSC and baseband.

Firstly ya i want the official one coz want to get back my warranty.i know i can unroot to get the warranty back but still i rooted it for being able to get the official fimware on my wish .. but i will surely check with the baseband thing n confirm whether the one i choose will work well i m my region(ie UAE) or not as u said its region specific( that is what u want me to do ryt before proceeding with a baseband Just being sure ..its my first time so want to be clear mate
The question of not being able to go back to 4.3 has confused me like i was willing to back up my current rom so anything as u mentioned arises, i would easily downgrade ! ?
Lastly i am downloading the offical kikkat (from samsung updates.com) so should i back my efs folder and imei as well?any help with that would be gr8

As I've mentioned before when you flash the firmware, everything is included such as baseband
Regarding downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.3, I have read reports saying the bootloader won't allow you to install 4.3 as it is not compatible, but I'm not sure, I've never tried it. Just google and read as much as you can if this is important(being able to downgrade)
Always have a backup of efs folder on your pc. This contains important stuff such as imei.

Hi, I have a question. Recently my phone was updated to latest software 7.1 however i wish to return to marshmallow. This firmware that u have available, will it work for my country Trinidad and Tobago? What are the implications for installing a firmware not meant for your country? Also just for confirmation. The firmware software that I am finding does not match my PDA and CSC number.. Will this be a problem?

Thanks for your help

Well first off, according to the firmware, it seems you have the AT&T version. The label on the phone is wrong, in fact, that label looks fake. The font is wrong.
Anyway, I am assuming you want to stick with the AT&T firmware for this. Use the stock build, it's the easiest to root.

Warning: That will BRICK your device!!!
You're running OF2, on the G900A that version contains an updated bootloader and blows a qfuse. You can't ODIN back to NCE from that build. You're stuck on OF2.
Unfortunately, there is no ODIN file for you to restore the OF2 installation, so you have to ODIN to OI5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53454972&postcount=1 first link)

hey all.
i need some serious help here.
i have the same problem.
it's a little different from yours.
i've just bought a samsung S5 G900f as the phone info says and the sticker under the battery as well.
my phone is running kitkat 4.4.2
and can't get any update via software update.
for the record, the phone shows the AT&T software update which means i need an AT&T SIM card to get an update.
i'm frm morocco and if its An AT&T version of s5 , that means it was unlocked.
when i go to bootloader it says G900A....
as well as the download mode says it's a G900A
i took my EMEI and put it in emei.info website they said it is a G900f.
i installed an app from play store called phone info.
it says that my phone has A G900A bootloader , A G900A baseband version , an AT&T finger print build , and an AT&T original CsC code and an AT&T firmware's CsC code and states that the Csc country is Usa and the hardware revision is G900A.00
but on the other hand it says that my build number is G900FZHU1AND1.
please, anyone here can help me out with this.
what phone model do i have ?
what firmware should i flash via odin ? the G900f or G900A one?
will flashing An AT&T firmware lock my device network again if it was obviosly unlocked?

Please guys i need help.
anyone can help me out [emoji20]

Flash a G900F firmware and if it bricks come back here for unbrick instructions. Sounds to me like your seller flashed a G900A firmware on a G900F.
Network locks are carrier-side, not device-side. No matter what you flash, if the device was unlocked it will remain unlocked.

despite the fact that i have a G900A bootloader which is locked and means it won't let me flash anything else but G900A firmwares.
for the record , when i access download mode it says it's a G900A.

Note 5 N920A Lost Imei Lost Baseband

Hi.
I have Note5 at&t and it has Bootloader.
When I was trying to flash another stock at&t firmware, I've lost my IMEI number. As I learned, in order to get back my IMEI, I have to flash my old firmware, but I didn't memorize my old firmware name. And because of the bootloader, there is no way to learn old firmware's name with the root access. I can't root my device. Is there any solution?
Thank y'all in advance.

hi, i have the same problem, tried to downgrade to marshmallow but got an error, i flashed stock AT&T nougat firmware and now have no imei info or baseband info, i have tried flashing n920aucu4eqk6 and n920aucu4eql1 which are the 2 latest firmware versions but still having same problem...help! please

in case this helps anyone, i managed to solve my issue, i downgraded firmware to a 5.1.1 combination firmware, where the baseband and the imei were still being picked up by the phone, then i reflashed the phone with PK1 marshmallow rom (except i did not flash the CP file), only flashing the BL, AP and CSC files and now the phone is running marshmallow and picking up the imei and baseband information and can make calls and send text and picture messages.
thank you
