Hi everyone,
I rooted my note and was using Jon ROM V3 for the last 3 months. Never had any malicious apps and my phone was working as usual.
Yesterday I took my phone and see that it is stuck at Samsung logo (an hour ago it was working fine). Tried reset and re-flashed ROM but no luck.
Later through download mode i flashed Official Indian Firmware(I live in India). Now I by passed the logo screen and the phone shows full signal bars but not able to connect to carrier network.
(tried all basic work out like removing battery/sim and re-inserting to phone and boot up)
I pressed power key and it did not show the power menu , it directly switched off mobile.
I rooted again with Philz kernel and flashed JON ROM. Still i see that my phone is not able to connect to any network. Also I observe that even here on this ROM when i press power key it directly turns off.
This is weird. I thought my IMEI was wiped off but im lucky to see that its still there.
I need your help. Im without my phone for the last 2 days now.

Jonathan
Note - I find that my IMEI number has been changed (to some generic IMEI 004999010640000) after i flashed the official firmware !!!! that's why it is not connecting to any network.
Someone please help me.
How did you flash the official firmware?
was it a tar file or a zip? I mean did you use odin?

It was a tar file The official Indian firmware I got from sammobile
either a glitch or you selected by accident clear efs.
anyways without efs backup hard to recover emei.
Do you get the simcard enter pinscreen on boot? If you dont then its not imei, if you do then you need someone like cvxcvx, search to fix it. That or Samsung

No I do not enter pin for simcard. I see my imei has been changed to 004999010640000. I tired fixing one problem and got onto another.
I guess there is no way other than sending my device to Samsung !
Anyways I appreciate your help. Thanks

You have a so called "developer IMEI". If you didn't safe your EFS then there is no real chance to restore it yourself.
There is a member (cxlcxl) who has hardware and can restore the original IMEI remotely.
But you still can use your device. Try to change the Sim Pin in the settings: you can use the same Pin for old and new (this is easier for me because sometimes I forget the new number).
After this the network connection should come back.
My workaround in my Pristine Custom Rom: one different jar-file that doesn't have the checks on startup from my old XXLSC dump. With this it works completely normal: Sim and Pin are always recognized from startup. I'm using this for many months now.

Thanks. BTW I jus gave my phone now to Samsung service center. They said its easy for them to restore my original IMEI and they charged me 150Rupess (3 Dollars) :good:
Really? Just $3

Aha , yes not joking.
My nephew took his U.S.A. AT&T locked Atrix HD to the the Philippines and bought a sim locally over there. He entered a wrong unlock code too many times and now the phone says subsidy locked. please contact service provider. It is hard locked with no place to enter an unlock code.
Only work around I've been able to find has something to do with flashing brazil radios however that only seems to work on Atrix 2 and older phones and not the Atrix HD. Is there any custom rom/radios flash that would get the phone working again?
I've contacted AT&T and they said there's nothing they can do and suggested I contact Motorola.
Motorola said they can fix it for $109 service fee. Phone is not worth that kinda money,
How would Motorola fix it? If they can flash it back to factory fresh you would think there would be someway that I could do similar.
I hear that there may be unlock services that can also unlock hard locked phones. anyone know of one that has worked for them?
thanks for any help
If you phone is saying contact service provider with nowhere to put in a code, if you leave it there for awhile it should change to enter subsidy password.

I have tried leaving it on that screen for 3 days straight and it never changed.
I cant be the only one with this problem..You would think there would be a workaround by now. I wonder if there's a way to flash a different radio like the brazil radios for th atrix 2, but ones that would work on the Atrix HD?
thanks

You can flash different radios via fastboot. You just need to download the factory firmware, extract the radio bin file, and flash it.
1) install the adb/fastboot files to a single directory on my computer (I use the files from Myth Tools);
2) download the firmware (http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=7);
3) extract the NON-HLOS.bin file to your computer in the adb/fastboot directory from step 1;
4) open a command prompt window as an administrator;
5) install the Motorola USB drivers and connect my booted phone with USB debugging enabled;
6) from the command line, type "adb reboot bootloader" and press the enter key to get my phone into AP Fastboot Flash mode;
7) from the command line, type "fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin" and press enter; and
8) reboot the phone and check to make sure the new baseband is shown.
I downloaded Android 4.1.1 from that site to flash back to the stock rom after trying out CM 11. That should of flashed the NON-HLOS.bin too right?
If so it didn't help..phone is still stuck at the subsidy lock screen.
Do you know of any specific radio that would fix the subsidy lock issue?
thanks

Where were you advised to flash back to stock? All i see is radio/non-HLOS.bin being discussed.

I never said I was advised to flash back to stock...all I was saying is that I had been trying a modded rom previously and had already flashed the stock ATT rom and was just asking if that had flashed my NON-HLOS.bin as well.

it sounds like he can't get into his phone due to the subsidy lock?
All AHD sbf/zip files have a xml file in it. its even stated in other threads that this file exists in the zips. RSD Lite flashes according to what the xml file says, thats why they say in the guides to delete certain lines, that way you don't flash something to brick/damage your phone.
you could have easily booted into fastboot and flashed the file, this is what was you were being advised to do.

I can get into the phone and all functions work except making calls. When I put in a sim I get an error message saying subsidy locked. contact service provider. Only emergency calls can be made. and there's a button that says dismiss, but there is no where to put in a code.
When I flashed the stock firmware the only 2 lines I removed were the 2 "getvar" lines because rsd lite will not flash with those lines left in, so I am assuming that everything got flashed including the NON-HLOS.bin, but just to make sure I flashed just the NON-HLOS.bin as sugested by audit13 and it still says the subsidy lock message.
I have searched the web for several days now and it appears this is some kind of permanent lock. Older Atrix, Atrix 2 phones I read you could flash Brazil radios and it would work but I have found no mention of any success on the Atrix HD.
For a somewhat aging, but still very useful phone you would think there would be some kind of work around for this by now. ugh!
thanks

i have had my device rooted since the week i got it in october successfully, no issues. when i got the phone it was on the oi6 firmware, rooted it and put MOAR rom on it, no issues. then on the 23rd the day before i was going to go out of town i changed my primary google account password on my device, and for some reason i couldnt tell you why other than it didnt seem that it would be of any significance that OEM UNLOCK option was enabled so i turned it off not thinking anything of it, and right after i reboot the phone i found myself in a bootloop. only going to samsung galaxy note 5 powered by android with little red writing at top that says custom binary blocked by FRP lock. so i did some research and it became obvious what my issue was that the oem unlock should never had been touched. from what i figure, but that didnt validate why i was never given the chance to actually verify my account being that the device hasnt booted back into the os or any screen other than the splash screen i mentioned and download mode. thats the only two things i can access my download screen reads this

Try use Samsung KIES (or Samsung Smart Switch) on Windows PC to flash/restore your firmware. I've never had to this way though.
And BTW. This is not a "hard brick", so your thread title is misleading. It's "soft"...

mate, its really nothing to worry about, it isnt hard bricked,
i had the exam same issue, that oem lock can be a real pain in the arse,
all you need to do is download the firmware, and i mean not just the same android version, but the same, as in oc1 ok1, what ever version you were rocking,
in my case it was the latest firmware available on sammobile,
and flash it via odin,
after that you must wipe cache, data, and factory reset to be a able to use your phone,
once booted,
you can login with you google account, enable oem unlock from dev mode, and install custom recovery and do what you do from there.
cheers

So long as you are using genuine Samsung firmware or smart switch you do not need OEM unlocked.
If Odin is not recognizing your phone something has gone wrong with either your drivers or your phone is in a bad state.
Power down your phone, if you have to because it is restarting, catch it so you get back into download mode.
Then follow these steps exactly as they are laid out.
Open Smart Switch, click MORE, click Emergency software recovery and initialization, click device initialization, type in your model number using caps and dashes such as SM-N9200 or whatever your device is, then input your serial number again using caps for all the letters in your SN, finally connect your phone to your PC and continue with the prompts from Smart Switch.
The problem is since you have a carrier version, smart switch may not work. There was a guy who said it would not work for an AT&T phone.
Good luck.
Edit: I checked in smart switch using the sprint model number and it took it so you should be good to go.

yes i can get it in download mode ive installed the drivers from samsung website for the note 5, and installed them. is there other drivers i should install fgor it to recognize it? i also am successful in getting smart switch to recognize the SM-N920P for my phone model but i am unclear on how to obtain the serial number that smart switch wants. ive tried the dec hex the imei esn hex and the spc none of which it accepts. i have the box and it doesnt say serial number anywhere so im lost when i get to that point

That is a problem then because you need that number. It should be labeled SN and should be a mix of letters and numbers. Perhaps sprint keeps those records on file.
Good luck.
The Alcatel 5033T (Telstra) I have is Telstra-locked to the point that most online unlock-code providers can't get a code to free it up. The only places which say they can do it require you to bring it in (they're in other states) or they want you to install Teamviewer (!) and they'll do it remotely.
I'm sure this is a FAQ on other phone models, but I see nothing for the Alcatel 1 here yet. What are the chances someone with past experience on ADB can figure out how to get this working with a non-Telstra SIM?
Did you manage to sort this
How to mount sd card
saw someone posted this, any Guru can verify the steps? or make it clearer?
**********************************************************************************
On the 5033T fastboot will flash only the system.img not the boot or recovery
image,so Magisk or TWRP cannot be flashed via fastboot. Also to flash via SPflashtool for the MT6739 you now need a custom DA and Auth file for that phone.
The downloaded edited 5033D system image will give you root access but install
RootCheckerBasic app to check as sometimes the root access disappears.
The phone modem is in the vendor.img partition and so should be unaltered as you
have flashed the system.img partition only.Your bands should be unaltered. Install the MTK Engineering Mode apk and use the bandmode function to see the bands. (Phone Developer option must be on(Tap build number untill developer options appear)).
Now that you have root access you can now network unlock the phone. Using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer. In the phone /vendor/protect_f/md you will see a file ST33_004. This file determines whether the phone is network locked.
If you get this file from an unlocked phone and put it in place of the one
in the locked phone the phone will be then unlocked and vice versa.
Download the 5033A firmware from the Needrom site. From the download get the protect1.img (in another files). Download to your PC the Ext4Unpacker tool.
Use the tool to extract the ST33_004 file from the 5033A protect1.img .
This is the unlocked ST33_004.
Using ES or Root Exp rename the existing ST33_004 in the phone as ST33_004bac
and copy the new ST33_004 file into the directory. The phone will now accept
non Telstra/Boost SIMs .
Also download the Mobile Upgrade S Gotu2 v5.3.5 tool to your PC. This is the TCL(i.e.=Alcatel) official firmware upgrade tool. It replaces the firmware in
your phone with the latest version on their server for your phone. For a stock
phone it will upgrade to their latest stock version.
For the 5033T+5033D 'hybrid' ,when started the tool appears to be downloading
the 5033T firmware from the server, so it seems that the tool could be used
to return the phone to stock, but this not tried or tested yet.

Where'd you find this? I'm willing to try 'cos it'll let me get my son off Telstra's overpriced plan and onto something affordable like Jeenee (which the rest of us are on). I've had this Telstra SIM for years so I was hoping they'd unlock the phone for me - after all, it was sent as a replacement for an older phone that'll be out of service when they retire some of the towers in our area - but when I call in to have them do that, they say they'll have to call me back and (of course) never do...
