Ouufffff.
Here it is!...
Galaxy s (gt-i9000m) was with Bell
UNlocked to use with another provider
Screwed up patter lock, Gmail not working (possibly because i changed providers?!?!?)
Three button recovery does NOT work on this firmware.
USB debugging is OFF (cannot turn it on!!!!) Kies, Odin don't detect.
I can however call from my home phone and answer and talk, but anything else returns me to the ''too many pattern attempts''
Is there any way to activate USB debugging other than through the phone.
I tried the call-myself-answer-press-a-button, No go!!
What are my options other than sending it to get repaired?
thanks

wow...that is a lot of reading!!!! Are there any that work with debugging enabled? The formating tools section i think is one viable solution.
Thanks

p.s. It's a little overwhelming when you start!!!!!!
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
00
4B13030000000000
4B130F006E766D2F6E756D2F383500
4B1308006E766D2F6E756D2F383500

4B13030000000000
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

I actually tried that and still nothing! Maybe i just have a phone that wont take....? I have tried several os downgrades and last resort was the modem downgrade and still the same result: UNABLE TO USE THE 16 DIGIT PASSWORD TO ACCEPT ON WORKSHOP.....
I appreciate your input and help brother thx again.
If you're serious about flashing phones you should invest the proper amount of money, in the proper tools.

TKS BRO
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?
Thanks

Using cwm to flash another rom
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I have a Sprint SPH-L720. I tired to use the command 4B1305000000000000000000303030303030 it accepts it but responds back with a differnt command and the SPC doesn't change.
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.

Hey guys,
I just bought a Note8 and looks like I am having difficulty rooting it because of IMEI. The phone is already on Android 9 but the problem is with the IMEI. I think my mobile IMEI is already modified because in the About section it's showing different IMEI and in "Device Info" app it's showing different IMEI and also "Device Info" showing Root Access Available which in the fact I don't have because the recovery is still on stock. I cannot access any banking app because they are showing the device already rooted.
I want your guidance on how to root this device so I can use the Magisk module to hide the root without end up in the IMEI issue or something.
Thanks.

Go to developer options (click on the build number about 7 times in about phone/software information, it will then appear in the settings menu) Is the OEM toggle on? If it is, turn it off, reboot, and your banking app should work. (Clear the bank app data in setting before reboot)
I am not sure about your IMEI problem, hopefully someone will know though, I would advise not rooting though as it may break your IMEI entirely.

I was hoping that the OEM toggle was enabled, so at least you could use your banking app. Your bank app must just be more secure than mine (Co Op)
You can't root the phone until the OEM toggle appears anyway, the phone has to be on for 168 hours for it to appear, If I remember correctly. The thread below may work for you to get the OEM toggle now, rather than having to wait all those hours. It is hit and miss though, and may take a few attempts.

I don't know anything about your IMEI troubles, I would advise not rooting until you get confirmation that it will be okay from an experienced user here. If you don't get a reply, just bump the thread.

I have a funny feeling you've been conned and you have a china cloned phone.
Can you take a photo of the download mode and also some photo in the phone settings menu. Any menu will do.

Yes. You have a Korean note 8 but forcefully flashed with international rom.
You can try to flash in a prerooted rom.
Try searching for Dr Ketan note 8 custom rom. He's rom is the closest to stock rom as you'll ever find, and has magisk up and ready to run.
But please ask him about your situation. I'm not sure how it would affect a Korean note 8.
