Unlock?

Is there a way to unlock my cappy that isn't going to cost me? I don't have a computer and I tried vibrant unlock and it didn't work. I dropped my note 2 and the screen is FUBAR. So I was going to use my cappy until I get the 175 together to submit a claim on the phone insurance with T-Mobile. I have a good sim to use just can't find my unlock code.

You still have to pay for the unlock code. I cannot afford it as of now with having to save to pay for a new note 2. Also not available from the play store in my country so it says.

If you read the "download" section in the linked OP again it might clear it up for you.......The nv data thing is normal. Just do what it says.....backup efs (then it can read nv) then unlock twice. Once for partial unlock twice to fully unlock.
Once it is unlocked and your thinking, wow this was actually really easy, consider a donation to the author for making it so.....even if it isn't until after that note2 is paid for

If you cannot access it from the Play Store would you like me to upload the apk for you to just download and install that way? You shouldn't have to pay to unlock your device, at least with all the options on the captivate. Another user requested the same check his thread in the General section, m1batt1 also posted another, longer but still effective, way to unlock if the app doesn't work.

So it worked. I am now using my cappy in T-Mobile. Thanks for that. My note 2 uses a micro sim and the cappy takes a regular sim. I used my old straight talk that's no good anymore because I ported my number for it over to T-Mobile and cut out a guide for the micro sim. Is there a better way or is that about it?

Nope, this is a common misconception, and one the mobile phone companies (unsurprisingly) aren't keen to dispel. The confusion arises because unlocking and unblocking are often mixed up, yet mean different things.
Unlocking is totally legal. It just means making the phone work with any Sim card.
Unblocking is illegal. This is the practice of making a phone work again after it's been blocked by the networks, usually as a result of its being reported lost or stolen. Unsurprisingly, It is thoroughly illegal and should not be attempted.
If you are in a contract and got the phone from them at a discount with it then maybe....But then why would you be unlocking it.

hmm people still sell these "illegal"? codes, and what if you bought your phone used off ebay for example. There goes any resale value and in turn less interest in a contract phone.
If your concerned about it, you should lock your phone, what else can I say.:good:

Unnecessary. I also found out that there are at least 3 bills in congress to address that specifically. They also cannot tell when it was done. Nor do they much care.

Secure element is cloud based now I believe since early this year. If the sprint x has it all we need is root to change the build prop values in 3 lines so wallet sees us as the sprint one then you install and setup and reboot and change back. I will attempt that change and do a write up as soon as root is released.

With /system being encrypted I have put out the question to jcase whether a build prop edit is possible. When I hear back I will contact you guys. Hopefully the shared library isn't something we have to have to access the secure element. Potentially going to need some extra work. I'll dig in the system dumps tomorrow morning. The system encryption may not let it write the library on install as well. I will work hard to resolve this and if needed reach out to those that I think can help.

Can you try adding xposed and then the link 2 posts above. The typical way is a hacked apk but xposed plug in alleviates that. Once you try that report back.

AT&T Wifi Hotspot Hack-Very Easy

I found this hack in LG G2 forum at XDA, so the credit goes to whoever found this, not to me.
1. Download SQLite Editor (I have the paid version)
2. Open the file - /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
3. There's a field named 'tether_entitlement_check_state'. in System. Original value is set to 5. Changed it to 0 and save
4. Reboot the phone
5. Enjoy tethering using AT&T app, not necessary to install any other app.
Edit: USB tethering works great too.

Where's the att app at?

Dont' worry.
I got this to work through the settings using this method, no need on using it through Mobile Hotspot app.
And I believe this method needs to be moved to the Theme and APPs section

SO im assuming that this method does not work for sprint? im in serious need for infrastructure tethereing

What program are you using to edit? I couldn't find it using root explorer like I normally use. Had to use the 920 text editor app

Im using SQLite Editor. Ill try using 920 text editor.
Edit no luck. I posted up screenshots showing that I cant find that tether entitlement. The second pic is the 920 editor and it doesn't find anything in the data folder.

[Q] AT&T Note 3 - Unlock w/ Bad IMEI?

Hello XDA,
I know I am not usually on but now is a chance for me to actually get some posts in lol..
So I bought this Note 3 on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean from Craigslist (I know, bad idea) and it turns out that it was blacklisted by AT&T.
My question is: Can I unlock (buy an unlock from cellunlocker.net) and USE the Note 3 on a different carrier? (T-Mobile).
I just don't want to waste the $30 on an unlock for it to be useless...
Thank you all!

You should be able to. They will refund your money if it does not work. They are awesome like that.

Really? In the disclaimer RIGHT before purchase, it says to be sure to CHECK and make sure the IMEI is not reported as lost or stolen, and is not blacklisted..

if it's blacklisted by AT&T, you're probably out of luck with other carries in the US as well. so unlocking it won't help. i have seen a lot of listings on eBay with bad ESNs saying they can only be used abroad.

If you can get it unlocked, you can use it on T-Mobile and other GSM carriers.

Yes at&t and t mobile share blacklisted imei's. How often they update their databases is an unknown. The device will have to be used in another county if you can't get it working here. I think xda frowns upon further discussion on imei's.

First, was the item listed as blacklisted when purchasing? If so your screwed. If not, try for your money back. It's worth a shot, but not likely since its blacklisted.

I'd be interested to see if we could get our hands on that app. I've got some friends from Taiwan and Mainland that I could reach out to... Maybe one of them can grab it for us. Anyway, hope I'm not posting **** information here; definitely not my intent. What we do know however, that there is a factory unlocker out there. Whether it can work with our region is an unknown but, it might be worth a look.

I don't have much faith in the Verizon varient getting root. Going to take some getting used to cuz I've come from rooted phones since I entered the smartphone world.

This is definitely good info. I might try and get on chat with Samsung to see if they'd have a download link...probably a long shot, but worth it.

I won't hold my breath, but I'm interested in hearing how this goes as well. The lack of root on the Note 4 after being out since last year is keeping me from swapping out my s5 for a s6 edge.

This would be great, but alas I am sure Verizon has made steps to ensure that it wont be that easy for us!
