SimLock Solution For All 4.3 users

Hello to you all
I would like to show all of you 4.3 users the solution "elvisypi" gave me in my private mail and finally i succeed to unlock my device.
So all of us know that sprint or google changed the way HtcOMADM works and we can't use the original system for unlocking our device.
So here is the solution that "elvisypi" gave me :
1. Download the "Stock with goodies 4.3 ROM". Don't flash it wet. (link : http://www.mediafire.com/?9y21d2wlszh6d6c )
2, With an archive viewer like winzip open the ROM.zip and go to /system/app
3. replace 2 apps which I have attached: HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_SPCS.apk and HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk. Just drag and drop and replace.
4. Finally flash the ROM.
5. Install the HTCOneSIMUnlockHelper and follow the onscreen instructions.
This system works 100% and this way you can be on 4.3 rom and still have an unlock GSM sprint device.
again , many thanks to "elvisypi" for his great support

sim unlock
Hope it does
downloading....

Would this work with other ROMs like insercoin?

You must use a stock rom for this to work

I'm not using t-mobile , I'm not from the US but it should work with any GSM sim after the unlock is done

I've followed your directions, using the ROM you provided (only difference being flashing the root-fix) and I get vDM errors every time I boot and the app says it's unlocked but my Tmobile SIM gets no signal. Is there any other way i can check if my phone's unlocked?

Did you changed the phone in settings to GSM/UMTS?

Yes I have, it says preparing SIM card but I never get any bars. I read in another thread that I need to be on an older radio in order for Tmobile to work. And for that I'll need s-off which I can't. Sigh.

Flash the release radio and let us know, I'm interested in using an At&t card for when I need a good data connection.

It didnt work for me?
I did exactly what you said an When the phone starts up it says unfortunately ui has stop working an it keeps popping up an i cant do anything with my phone

Thank you for this already pressed the Thank you button also
i was getting annoyed that i couldnt find the files before i found this thread

HTC ONE
I did everthing s-off....flashed to the old radio baseband....tried everything still havent got any signal....who know what a problem?
The only thing is that I've flashed my sprint htc one to the Straight talk. Could it cause a problem?

I am also trying to unlock for T-Mobile. Running into the same issues as others. I was reading a thread where someone was apparently using it on T-Mobile, and PMed them on how exactly they did it but never got a response.
Would love to hear if anyone has it working on T-Mobile

This works. :victory:
Only need to extract, modify and zip again.
Flash with TWRP.
And everything is working normally, no need to reinstall or root, or whatever.
The only problem is that every time I turn on the phone, I get the error message VDM, but it disappears instantly, without stopping or forcing any application.
I live outside the U.S., and continues to operate all perfect with SIMUnlockerHelper. :fingers-crossed:
My device: Sprint Htc one = Unlockboot, TWRP, SIMUnlocker Helper, Root, and the rom on the top of the post. (benny's 4.3 LOL)

it actually works, but if you're using a sense rom I think you only need to download the apps in the op and replacing in system/app
I did this with insertcoin 6.0-4, the unlock helper app didn't recognize the rom, but with the terminal emulator method it worked just fine, tried with a sim and all fine ... then put again the original apks and you don't have to deal with any error popups

Interesting. I was under the impression that our version of this device did not support domestic (only international) GSM bands, hardware wise.
Is this version of sim unlocking different than what you would get if you asked Sprint? (they do allow you to unlock it if you meet certain criteria, like good account standing)

it supports the bands, but all the radios except the original one block domestic gsm carriers. if you still unlock and use that radio, it'll work.

Not working
I tried everything mentioned above, ( Unlock bootloader, S-OFF, Root) also changed the 2 apps in the system for the 4.3 ROM Stock rooted deodexed and then used the SIM unlock helper.
Then Got the same result : No GSM signal, and the SPRINT logo still on the top when I make a call, the same answer comes: " Error number 16 script 3."
I'm using Straight Talk Sim by ATT.

LG G2 VS980 not detecting/connecting to mobile network..

isnt the VS980 supposed to be unlocked for GSM use ?
I am in India at the moment...i have 3 Verizon G2 phones...SIM cards work fine on 2 of them...On the third one...it does not detect the mobile network...sim is detected ,coz it gives no alert...and when i search for networks...the networks are shown...it just doesnt connect to the network...the sim cards work fine in other phones...in the other G2 phones and in a HTC DROID DNA...so its not the sim at fault....
Have tried multiple SIM cards from Vodafone/Loop Mobile/Airtel...none of them work on this particular phone..
When i search for networks...im getting networks...but cant connect to them...most times it shows error while searching for network...
What can be the problem ?
Please help me out...otherwise will have to send the phone all the way back to USA...

if i am right... verizon phone is unlocked to all US carriers only....try to verify if its globally unlocked
EDGE/GSM (850/900/1800/1900), HSPA/UMTS (850/900/1900/2100)*
those are the frequence bands it support.
India support 900 1800
So technically it should work..
try *#06# to check if it shows imei number and other is to try to unlock phone

I got 3 Verizon g2... 2 of them work fine with Indian sim cards.
The third one is facing this problem.. I thought the IMEI was lost.. But IMEI is still intact and dame as that on the box.. Also Verizon g2 has no unlocking system as it is already unlocked..
That ink which u posted says it is unlocked for us carriers.. And not that it cannot be used outside the US.. People use it in UK, Australia.. Mexico.. Germany.. To name a few..
It seems the efs partition is corrupt but I don't know how to fix that as I have no backup..
Also if it wasent unlocked the sim won't be detected.
When I search for networks, the networks show.. It just doesn't connect..
The problem exists only in one of the 3 phones..

Ok then install custom rom and try with that.
I can recommend you for cloudy g3 rom. Best one out there
If your phone is not rooted and no custom recovery then open towelroot.com from your phone and install apk and it will root right a way
Then install rashr flash tool from play Market and install twrp recovery.
It's the easiest methods to install custom recovery and root I can recommend.
I hope this will work for you and don't forget to setup apn setting if data plan not working

I have a very similar problem. Using a SIM with 850 mhz HDSPA provider LG G2 works.
But when I use a SIM at 900 mhz, I got only voice. No 2G even.
Ideas?

Fixed for me. I rooted the phone. I installed the cloudy rom, based in the D802 version of LG G2, now, the phone works perfect. No issues at all.
I suggest change the rom and try other software.

does the phone have a big verizon logo in the back or in the screen? Then yes, it's a VS980. Pick that option in the aroma installer.

VS980 not picking LTE Frequency
I am from Pakistan and I have the same issue. Did anyone find any solution?

Ihave thisproblem too

I am using Verizon G2 32gb.. and yes... signal reception is so so soo poor.. at same locaiton, others handsets with same network are receiving very good signals while its on no network :/

Not picking any frequency or signal at all
Upgraded my VS980 to lolipop and after a couple of days same thing happened to me. I am in Pakistan btw. Sim is working fine on any other mobile. Have tried restoring to stock nothing happened. One thing i want to add is when i change my location sometimes for a couple of minutes, network do appear. But it does not makes call or uses data then it again gets to emergency calls only status... Phone is no better then i web browser now.... Help needed

Also not connecting (But it detects networks)
I have an lg vs980 and I was using it with H2O wireless and later I changed to Simple Mobile. I'm living in Puerto Rico. The phone was working all right and, suddenly, one day it was always displaying 'emergency calls only'.
I did factory reset, then I reflashed stock lollipop and it was like nothing happened, keeps displaying 'emergency calls only'.
Then I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394689 and applied the patch but didn't seem to resolve the problem.
As a last resort I tried flashing cm 12.1 and before first boot applied the patch from the cited thread but no result, keeps displaying 'emergency calls only'.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

[Q] Rooting N900A to Lollipop while using T-mobile.

Ugh, I am having so many issues with this at the moment. One of those things being that I am using T-mobile as my carrier. I'm stuck on 4.4 at the moment, and need to update it. But, will that relock the phone? How do I re-unlock it if that happens? I've already read that I can't flash the phone to T-mobile ROM, but are there any custom ROMs that you would recommend [I do actually use the S-pen, not sure if any have been updated to where that can still be used.] Lastly, is there any way to get mobile hotspot and tethering to work now that I am using tmobile?

I never tried this Rom.
T-Mobile Alliance Lollipop Rom on ATT Note 3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/t-mobile-alliance-rom-att-note-3-t3065127 I don't think you would have to worry about any of this as you are using T-Mobile " After the phone came up, I went to settings..general..applications...running .... and found every Tmobile app and cleared cache and disabled them. The real important one here is the Visual Voicemail. Otherwise it will keep on trying to contact Tmobile and then you will get text messages saying there is an error. Thanks @sapps
Wifi Calling is throwing a sim card error (as you would expect). Only problem is it is shown in status bar and lockscreen. I'm sure there is a way to hide it or disable it. I just haven't had a chance to figure it out."

But it's the N900A, so it's the AT&T version. Won't that brick the phone if I put the tmobile ROM on it? That's what I've read in other threads on here anyway. [Honestly I shouldn't write when I'm tired, or I would have explained this better.]. Basically, I bought an unlocked AT&T phone. A Note 3 to be exact. It's stuck on 4.4 but can upgrade to lolipop. Nothing I try will let me upgrade the normal way. I'm not sure how to upgrade it without relocking the SIM card somehow. Or is the simcard already semi-locked and that's why it's giving me the error? I also can't even find a AT&T specific rooting guide for this phone. I saw every other carrier except AT&T, does that even make a difference? And are there any ROMs that can return S-pen programs after I install them, or should I just stop at rooting if I want that? If so, I just really want to upgrade to lollipop and root the phone. I would like my mobile hotspot and wifi calling to work, but I suppose I can make do with hangouts.

It won't brick you phone. It's a T-Mobile Rom that's been ported for AT&T Note 3. After you flash the Rom, you have to Odin the N900A_OC1_ALL_Other_Stock_Partitions.tar.md5 using Odin's PDA slot. As far as rooting what you have now, just use Towel root https://towelroot.com/ (install on phone like any other app) and click "make it rain". Install Supersu, busybox and Safestrap. OR use Kingo Root http://www.kingoapp.com/ (Kingo Root will install supersu for you). The reason it won't upgrade to Lollipop is you have a T-Mobile sim card in it. It needs a AT&T sim card (I have AT&T and can't upgrade mine unless the sim card is in the phone). If you just want a rooted Lollipop Rom, but it's AT&T http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59666958&postcount=2 You know since you're on T-Mobile you have to go into settings>more networks>mobile networks>access point names and change it to T-Mobile's APN. I would just root it and put the T-Mobile Alliance Lollipop Rom on ATT Note 3 on it. I gave it a try yesterday and it does have T-Mobile apps on it, just not for me. Just remember to change the APN to T-Mobile's ( just write down the one you using now).

[i537]New Easier Sim Unlock Method 4.4.2/5.0.1

Sim Unlock Method 4.4.2/5.0.1
Disclaimer: i AM not resposile for anything that happens to your phone in the unlikely event something does happen.
this has only been tested lightly but it should work all-right. this is for the i537 S4A only.
You Need to start out on either NE3 or NH3. Downgrade now if you need to. Just remember when downgrading don't flash bootloader. This needs Odin and root to succede. Now That thats out of the way you need to download some files to deal with later on.
MF1 Odin flashable
regionlockaway go to the second post and download the apk to install on your phone.
this method uses an old method in a new way.
here is the guide
1. install regionlockaway and reboot to download mode
2. Flash modem.bin with odin in download mode
3.reboot to system and use regionlockaway. follow the instructions in the app.
4. profit?
As far as my understanding after you do this you can update your modem without it reverting back to being locked. I am running oc7 modem on a T-Mobile MVNO without issues( if you want aws unlock you are going to have to use this then the appropriate modem for that and not allow for the modem to update when updating to oc7 by modifying the oc7 installer and removing the modem from it)

I am ready... I have been reading for days about sim unlocking on 4.4 and up..I finally coined up $25 for a code but takes up to 5 days, 2 days ago. my next attempts were going to be with my paid copy of CDMA WS. Either way it is just to experiment with and would love to gain the knowledge. I have a couple different carrier sims ready to go. I would love to give it a shot.....
mateo121212 said:
hey guys i have created an easy sim unlock that should work for 4.4.2 and for 5.0.1
for the 5.0.1 sim unlock you have to do it on 4.4.2 and flash a modified partitions file to upgrade to 5.0.1 while keeping sim unlock.
if you guys are interested in it let me know and i will set up a few beta testers for it. i cant say for certain that it works because i dont have a non ATT sim card to test it with.but it should work. it should also allow you to enable aws for those on T-Mobile by following a secondary guide.
let me know and i will start having people beta test. i only need between 1 and 5 testers

ok ill pm you with a guide once i have it written up.
EDIT: it should be in your inbox

i was able to test a verizon lte sim and it didnt give me any issues. it regestered the number in the status. so i belive it worked. i would like some more testers to get information about it. i need more testers before i feel ok giving out the method.

Been sooo busy!!!! K, thank you for the guide. I haven't been able to try anything except a Verizon Lte sim. It registers the number and the network lock is gone. However I don't believe we will get data service with a Verizon sim as I don't believe the hardware is capable?...I wasnt able to place a call as I got" Emergency calls only", all I did was swap sims, occasionally I have to call Verizon and have them add the new phone to the plan before it will work and I didn't do that yet. Will try a different carrier sim tonight.

so before you did the guide did it give you issues with the verizon sim? and now it dosent?

It did give me issues before flashing the mf1 and after the flash and region away no nagging about sim unlock code! Havent gone any further yet. I will report back after using a different carrier sim besides verizon that is.....I think it works....

sweet thank you for the feedback man. i did the 5.0.1 upgrade method i detailed in the PM after i finished doing the unlock on my phone and it worked the same as what you described (i only had access to vzw lte sim also) so i belive i made the update file correctly also. im not really getting any bites on more testers so if it pans out well for you i will polish up my guide and post it here to have people test it instead of making them PM me.
thanks again for being my beta tester. if we get this working well we can save alot of people alot of money
ps for voice and sms verizon lte sims are useless because they still use CDMA for those features

Finally put in another sim...Put in a Tomb sim and no nagging about unlock code, I got "Sim not provisioned" as it isn't active at the moment. So I'm thinking it worked. Thank you. I was thinking I'd get voice and edge speeds with a Verizon sim in this phone, (utilizing GSM bands), in my area anyway, but maybe I'm mistaken. I'll post again after using another carrier's sim.....

I did as instructed and according to flashfire at the end of flashing, it said it was successful and it rebooted (so far) to the lollipop boot animation and am awaiting for it to get past the at&t logo screen. Its at least gotten a lot further than all my earlier attempts...I am assuming its taking a little while for its initial setup of OC6....
more later on its success or failure....
well it was a partial success....it flash and booted into OC6 but sim card is not recognized, no baseband.....now installing updated version of flashfire....should i now flash the MF1 modem again via flashfire?
well i went ahead and did just that flashed the mf1 modem via flashfire and all is up and running successfully (FINALLY!!) with root on deodexed rom OC6...
Kudos and thanks goes out to ya!

your welcome man. i figured your problem could be fixed with my method. have fun with 5.0.1

partially completed downloads
Never mind. The downloads on dev-host work from my computer but not from tablet or phone.

odin ne3
flash mf1 modem with flash fire
make sure you are rooted and have busybox
use region lock away. try with att sim in phone.

Trying to do this for my s4a but flashfire is being uncooperative, it just crashes any chance it gets. Any other flash apps this will work with?
Edit: do I need safestrap for FlashFire?
Edit2: Fixed the issue with flashfire, If anyone runs into this issue you need to flash stock NE3, and re-root.
Rest of tutorial went perfectly. Cannot test unlock status atm, but no errors.
Thanks Matteo, you're a top lad.

Will this same method work with a deodexed OC7 ROM? I only ask because of the I537_OC6_Stock_Partitions_mod_sim.zip - not sure if this still works the same for OC7. Just to clarify, do you know if region lockaway is necessary to get T-Mobile AWS/HSPA bands? I've got a working cell and LTE connection without doing any of this, so I really only needed to do what's necessary to get those bands (which I think the old modem will help enable).
Thanks for the assistance!

edit to the edit:
go back to NE3 with odin.
then flash mf1 modem
then try this
[GUIDE] AWS Unlock for i537 I537UCUBML2 (4.3)
read the posts to make it work
also check out this post if you have issues with getting qpst to work. dont follow the whole post just qpst part http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56023258&postcount=68
then follow the guide i posted in my last edit to keep the aws unlocked modem while on 0C7
edit:
you can use the oc7 deodexed rom. you just have to remove the modem from the rom file useing winrar or 7zip. also you have to remove it from the updater script useing a text editor. drag it out of winrar edit it and then drag it back into winrar. that way if you flash in this order you will be fine
partitions mod file
oc7 deodexed rom.
that way you keep the modem
from when you installed and unlocked mf1 modem on 4.4.2

T Mobile data does not work whatever I do

Hello guys/girls,
I just got my Nexus 6 yesterday from Amazon and bought a new nano sim instead of my micro.
I immediately did a bootlocker unlock, root and twrp install and flashed chroma rom.
Everything went smooth the only problem is my data does not work.
I tried Catalyzm rom, I tried factory image from 5.11 up to 6.0.x, same issue!
I tried to flash different basebands, also APN reset/settings.
It says 'T mobile on top and it seems to be recognized.
Model is Xt1103 and currently on factory.
I'm out of ideas, anyone can help before I shoot this phone back to Amazon?

Seems to me you have a data connection, but no access to internet. Big change it has to do with settings. Does your wifi-internet work?
or ..... Your new sim card ! Does your provider something that blocks internet?

Yes, Wifi works like everything else. I get the message 'Sign into the T-mobile', once i click on it, it takes me to u.web2go.com with message: 'Your data plan does not work on this device' lol. My data has worked with any other phone.. Messing with APN has brought me to LTE but that !!!!! mark is still there.

Sounds like a plan issue. Call T-Mobile and see what they have to say about it.
APNs would only help you to get a connection. If their servers aren't allowing you to access the internet (what it sounds like) you won't be able to do anything from your end to bypass that.

Just an update. I went to T-Mobile they switch my SIM and it worked. bleh. Happy I can keep this phone /closed

just and update went to T-mobile got a sim switch and it worked. /closed
