[Q] How to unlock Samsung GT-I9000M from canada

Hello guys, my model is samsung GT-I9000M from canada.
the firmware version is 2.3.3, build number: GINGERBREAD.GKG3. baseband version: I9000UKG3.
i want to unlock the network.
i cant root the phone. superOneClick seems not working on 2.3.3 yet. busybox is found in market. i've read many threads and tried many approaches working on I9000, however, it's just not working on this model.
pls give me some hints how to figure it out.
Thanks in advance.

Geeze. I think I screwed up. Here is the issue:
when i first time connected to the odin, two more COM box turned yellow.(so in total was three) I think I might disconnect it in the middle, i got a FAIL. and my phone kept rebooting, showing one GT-I9000M, and then GT-I9000 logo.
But then when i connect it again, it only shows two yellow box in total, including the default one at startup. then i run the PDA, it always shows success 1/fail 1. it still kept rebooting.
Then i tried the kg3 backup in the link "in case sheet! happens", I finally got my interface back. However it still showed "success 1/fail 1" in the process.
Another thing i'm not sure is i didn't do this part :
PIT = 512
PDA = CODE_I9000XXJVP_CL264642_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.m d5
CSC = GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVP.tar.md5
all i did is
"PDA the CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS.tar"
i'm so frustrated now, Could you help me fix it? thanks a lot.

I'm not sure why you are getting the other yellow COM boxes.
Do you have any other devices plugged into your USB ports that ODIN might find?
Did you just want to root your KG3 2.3.3 so you could run the unlock program?
If so, just grab the KG3 rooted kernel from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16589476&postcount=183
and flash that as PDA.

i just want to show you this:

this is what i get rooted finally through your link. two yellow boxes. there were three at first. no other device plugged in, i even pulled the mouse to check. and you can see still one fail in the message.
the only problem now is i could just open one disk on the computer when i turn on the USB mass storage. suppose could open both of them earlier. The one with the system files i can't open, the mounted sdcard is fine. i'm not sure if it's related.

great tutorial! Thanks!

[Q] Flashing assistance

Hey guys!
I swear I must be the only idiot out there who can't work out the Flashtool interface. I have rooted, installed CWM and readied my FTF file ready to flash. My problem is actually connecting the phone and getting the interface to recognize the Z.
When booting the program I plug the device in, it loads up and installs the ADB interface drivers and provides me with a prompt giving me a list of phones to choose from. The Z just isn't in there and I don't want to proceed by choosing another device 'by default'...
I have well and truely searched the hell out of this question with as many different queries as I could imagine to no avail. I have flashing experience and consider myself quite computer savvy but this has more then got me stumped!
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Josh

This is how I installed the driver for my XZ:
Install the driver first
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Select the XZ driver:
Now update the driver because your PC probably can't find the driver:
Now you have to select the driver yourself. So you have to pick it from the list
This the updated driver:
I hope that helps a little.

Thanks heaps!! I managed to get the drivers installed but the application still doesn't recognise the Z? any thoughts?

try changing the usb settings to mass storage instead of media mode or the other way round

Is this what you are talking about?
To flash any stock ROM you don't need CWM. Flashtool is all I use to flash .ftf files
I download the ftf file I want and place it in the firmware folder:
I then start the flashtool app while the phone is unplugged, turned off and make sure it's in "Flashmode"
Once you click "Ok" this window should show up:
And then choose the ftf you placed in the folder. You should see this window:
And flashing will begin.
Just make sure you have full charge on your XZ before you do all this.

Wow, shadowboy23, you really went above and beyond with your assistance given here! You should really consider copying those posts over to the general thread and make a driver installation and flash tool guide (unles there is one...) But yeah, Kudos!:good::laugh::good:

Thanks!
I cannot believe that post shadowboy23 seriously thank you so much I can see the amount of time you have put in there! I myself haven't had any time to check the computer or even think about flashing my phone but will have another attempt this coming weekend and will defiantly bring you results (hopefully good news!)
Cheers again!!
Josh

I had a crack this afternoon and successfully got everything to the stage where your last step ends (on one of my 3 computers only!) and then the flashboot spits out an error message telling me the device drivers are not loaded. I will persist tomorrow afternoon when I have a fast internet connection and can download the latest version of flashboot (I have beta 4 I believe).
Incredibly frustrating process though!!
Josh

SUCCESS!!
Cheers shadowboy!! your new version fixed the issues I was having with the loader and it was all plug and play... but most of all thanks for letting me know to untick those boxes!! saved me the nightmare of having to reinstall everything
Cheers!!

deploy xap issues

hey guys, ive a lumia 625 and ive developer unlocked it, ive been searching the web all day on how to deploy xaps, ive been to site after site and they all reccomend different apps to do this, i've literally tried them all and i keep coming to one of 2 problems.
1- i cannot target/choose my fone to deploy too
2- i get a microsoft error (this only happens wif the offical deployer from the sdk.
just wondering if anyone has come accross this issue before and if there is a way to make any of the apps reconginse my phone?

Could you be a little more vague about that error? I mean, you told us it pertained in some way to the company that made the software. That's clearly way too much info... </snark>
If you were able to dev-unlock your phone (presumably using the Developer Registration tool from the SDK), you are able to deploy apps (using the Application Deployment tool from the SDK). They connect the same way. If you get some error when doing so, tell us what the error is. Also, try obvious and simple fixes like restarting the PC and/or phone, making sure the phone is connected correctly (i.e. you can browse it via MTP, it's charging, etc.)

yeah my phone is developer unlocked, above is the error i get from the Application Deployer from the SDK instalation, and yes i can still browse my files and charge my phone, its just this error happens when i opened the program.
above is 2 images in one, the first is the error i get when opening xap deployer 2.0, the 2nd half with the black circle shows there is no target avaiable.

Have you tried rebooting both systems? The other things you might try are removing the WP8 drivers (which may also require a reboot before they work again) from Device Manager, and using a different USB port.

i have rebooted both systems, i haven't tried removing drivers or a different port, I'll try those tomorrow and hopefully one will work

Good luck. This is an error I haven't seen before. You may also want to search around more online in case anybody else knows anything. The only times I've seen comparable problems, the phone wasn't really connecting at all (not visible to the registration tool or MTP clients).

Thanks.
tbh id an issue wif one usb port not reading my fone, but the one I've been using since i got the fone installed has always worked for copying files and stuff.

hey ive tried what youve suggested but im still getting the same errors, is there another app you know of that may work? ive searched the web and the only other person who seems to have come accross this error said he updated his visual studio to update 3, i just downloaded the most up to date version of visual studio yesterday so i dont think it would be that?

All the apps work the same way, they just wrap the same functionality of the official app in a more user-friendly package (the official tool is pretty bare-bones). Some of them have better error handling (telling you useful information) than others, but if they just do not *work* then you're probably SOL... is there another computer you can try using, to see if it's a problem with the phone instead of the SDK tools? Also, are you sure you purged all the phone drivers? Un-installing the SDK and purging all the drivers, then rebooting the PC and starting from scratch, *might* work. It'll take time but I don't know what else to recommend right now except trying on another PC or trying with another phone.

I did a fresh install if windows 8 and that's sorted the problem, not sure wat was wrong, but thanks for the help guys.

I have gotten this error when installing the WP8 SDK on Windows 7 64 bit. Try applying any WP SDK updates starting with 7.1.1. I think the 7.8 update is the one that fixed it for me...

I have a wp8 and windows 8 64bit and I have tried several ways I don't get the target option in deployer!!pls help!!!

I had that same problem multiple times, always when the internet connectino went offline and the installer couldn't finish. I had to completely uninstall the SDK and install it again, you have to let it download the emulator images aswell. Good luck!

Nokia Icon (929) stuck at red Nokia screen can't flash

I was using the 10 preview, great stuff, but I had a problem with my LTE connection and that was more important so I decided to downgrade back to 8.1. I guess my first mistake was trusting microsft to do this properly, i used the windows phone recovery tool. It started the process then came up with a big FAILED message. Now i can't get past the red Nokia screen.
i've tried the lumia recovery tool, using the phone will not boot option, it detects the phone (some times) says that it's a Nokia Icon RM-927 downloads the correct firmware and then the phone immediatly reboots and the reocvery software says that the firmware is not for the device. "0xFA001304: Platform ID check fails. Reason(s): The FFU file is not meant for this product. The platform ID of image does not match with platform ID of the device."
over the last day in all the research and digging i have confirmed that the product code and subsequent downloaded firmware is correct, i've tried using the Phone support tool and got the same message, i've even tried command line using thor2.exe. thor2 had a bypass product code check but apparently that requires some sort of authentication?? i'm stuck i need this phone. it's not life or death but any help is appreciated
also holding down the power and volume down key at the same time does not make the phone vibrate.
I've come to the conclusion that I need to reflash what i'm guessing is the boot loader, but i can't find the hex or the bin file anywhere. apparently either there aren't a lot of icons out there or there aren't a lot of people bricking their icons.
if anyone has a working icon could they please get me the bin file i need?

Ops im sorry i think you have tried this already
Ping that OP maybe he can help you

unfortunately i have tried that. Problem is, his downloads as well as all the other possible downloads i have found include just about all devices except mine. There are a few posters in that thread that are also asking for the icon hex files I figured I'd start a new thread because I couldn't find one and I think the posts in that other thread are probably buried or glazed over by people who don't also have that issue.

bump. still looking for an answer

@tlman12, have you tried to download firmware for your handset with "NaviFirmPlus" and flash it by using Nokia care suite?
P.S. I don't have RM-927 but just checked NaviFirm - they have 3 versions of the bits for your Icon (3 for black and 3 for white, don't know what the difference).

I was gonna say yes I did but when I tried to dl the firmware I only had 2 options 1 for white and 1 for black. I double checked Microsoft's site and it was the current fw. I'm curious what the other 2 options for the colors were because maybe an older version would work? Maybe the broke the current version? How did you see 6 options?

@tlman12, six versions I meant, it was about older firmware. So NaviFirmPlus shows 3 versions for your handset, each version has 2 options: for black and white handsets.
I can recommend you to buy/donate NaviFirmPlus guys and try to flash older fw with Nokia tools (not MS). Sorry but that's all I can help you...

Yeah I did use navifirm to download it but I only saw 1 version per color. Do you have to pay for it to see older versions? Or did I do something wrong? I have no problem making the donation if it fixes my phone but I've gone about trying to obtain the fw every way I can think of. Problem is cause this was a Verizon exclusive there's not a whole lot of info out there for it in this respect

I donated to NaviFirm and logged in, it is different, the free or canceled login version doesn't auto load the list on the left.
unfortunately none of the other version worked either, same message of invalid product ID.
No other ideas?

Manufacturer warranty service/exchange?

too far out of warranty, id have to pay out of pocket. It's just hard for me to justify paying exorbitant amounts to repair something I have the ability to do it myself. although at this point I think I just don't have the tools. I wish phone manufactures didn't lock down their phones so much. I mean we own the phone we should be able to do whatever we want with them right?

Bumping old post with new info, Turns out the reason I can't flash my device (Yes I'm still having problems gave up on it for a while) is because my platform ID was mangled at some point during the upgrade or down grade. It's currently Nokia.MSM8974..2.2 which is why I can't get any FFU files to flash to the device.
Is there any info on how to manipulate either the platform ID on the device or the platform ID the FFU is looking for? or how to bypass that check all together? I know there's a switch in thor2 but it says it requires authentication, is there a way to bypass that?

Brick Fix?

Long story short, I have access to D/L mode and this is it. No recovery, no fastboot. Flashtools errors me out due to device model not matching. (My device model shows up as Android SDK built for x86). Also, ADB does not recognize device either.
With the methods being used to Root the G4's and Flex2's, is it possible to DD (Linux fun) system images from PC to device? I've been trying to comprehend Linux commands but am having some difficulties.
Tried this ="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 . No luck. Ubuntu does not show partitions either. I'm sure my Flex is bricked, but I still have hope that some random method will pop up and I can get this baby rockin' again.
Thanks in advance!

Tell details. What's your phone model?
Do you have download mode?
What's the error you getting?

Model is D950. Originally had 4.4.x. I can enter download mode no problem. I don't have adb commands. When I type adb devices, it shows a blank space.
LG flash tools gives me a "device model different. Check device model". Mind you, tried flashing the stock TOT with the d950dll and also tried the generic dll that G2 users were using. I'll post a pic in a little bit of the error I get....

Alright, here goes...
Started when the volume buttons stopped registering pushes. I replaced the clickers (for lack of better term) but problem did not go away. I then attempted a backup restore via TWRP but Flex powered down (battery level was above 90% prior to restore). I then connected to computer (then running W8) and it showed up as qual_blahblah. I d/l factory partitions and followed a guide to fix partitions...well the guide did not work out in my favor because after reboot, device would show LG splash, go black and show LG splash again, followed by an android guy on his back with the yellow triangle above him. I will note that that is the only thing (android guy on back) I see when I try a normal boot up/power on.
I am running W10 on my PC currently.

First of all why did you try to restore your partitions if you had twrp and a saved backup. That should have solved any issue there. The volume buttons going bad wouldn't have been a software thing unless you used some mod that could have disabled them. Then that can be fixed via factory reset. Or restore backup.
OK so to fix your FLEX just plug it up in download mode and to your PC with lg's PC suite software installed on your PC. Not sure if windows 10 is supported for PC suite or not or if this works on win 10. May have to try someone else's pc. And make sure you have internet service on that PC.
At the top of the PC suite program window there are several options to choose from. Not sure off the top of my head what they're called but there is an option some where up there to restore from bad update or recover from bad update. Something like that. I wrote a tutorial about a year ago on how to do this. It should be in the general section. Try that out.
Back to the volume buttons or clickers as you call them. The ones that you replaced them with may be defective. If you bought some cheap Chinese BS then it could possibly be for be made as more of a universal off brand made to work in a lot of lg's but for some reason not compatible with the FLEX. I've bought a new sim card /sd card ribbon for an asus zenfone 2 before that was that very issue. Speaking from experience.....spend the extra dough and get the quality parts not Chinese sweat shop BS.
And good luck
