[Q] I9305 Stock 4.3 How to open Service Mode

Hi.
I am using my GT-I9305 for testing of mobile base stations (need to be able to lock mobile to the 1800 MHz LTE). When i was using stock android ver 4.1.2 - it was possible to open service mode from dialer (*#197328640#)
After adnroid update to ver 4.3 it is not longer possible.
I am trying to find solution to have back Service Mode on my mobile.
Maybe somebody can help me to find solution.
1. I rooted my phone and in /system/apps there is app called serviceModeApp.apk
i cannot find here ServiceModeApp_RIL.apk
there is also no HiddenMenu.apk here
2. In /efs/carrier there is file called HiddenMenu and when i edit this file it contains word OFF
I have changed OFF to ON in /efs/carrier in file HiddenMenu
I copied into /system/apps ServiceModeApp_RIL.apk, HiddenMenu.apk and i overwrited serviceModeApp.apk (i get version from android 4.1.2)
And nothing works for me.
I will apreciate any help.
I was wondering - if it is possible to add Service Mode into custom rom, maybe it will be possible to ADD it to the stock rom (copying some files, changing some files...) XDA is place with most experienced android experts - maybe somebody will find a minute to help me ? Please!

I am having the same issue here... not able to use service mode on the new 4.3 firmware either Anyone able to offer some help preety please?
Thank you kindly

Maybe somebody is interested to fix this problem and get paid for it?
I think - Maybe I can come with some paypal donation if somebody will manage to fix this problem.
somebody interested?

You can try Apex launcher. After installing, go to it and long press somewhere in home screen, then select shortcuts > Activities
Then you can play a bit here, scroll down to service mode and test if any activity in this menu actually opens the service mode. If you succeed let us know

Hi, I have tried that and it just says 'Application not installed' I have tried to re-install it from the /system/app folder but it still shows the same error.

Apex launcher is not helping. Any other ideas?
I am wondering - is it possible that it is sooo... complicated?! I searched whole internet and NOBODY managed to have Service mode on Stock Android 4.3. that is sad :crying:

Reactivation Lock Bypass (Samsung Account)

Hi everybody, I don't know if this will help all you but this is what worked for me (Android 6.0.1):
1. On the setup wizard (after factory wipe), connect to internet (wifi/data)
2. Select "Emergency call"
3. Call to any valid number (112 for example)
4. When the calls start swipe to the left on the dialing screen and you will see message and browser displayed (in my case the message method doesn't works).
5. Select browser.
6. Go to google.
7. Search for Package Disabler Pro 9.8
8. Download it and install it.
9. Open it and search for "Samsung account".
10. Click on Clear Data and then Disable.
11. Go back to google and search for QuickShortMaker
12. Install it and open it.
13. Search for "Setup Wizard", it will expand.
14. Select the one with ".setupwizards.SetupExitActivity"
15. Done! You can now use the phone and restart.
Ok after this you can go and check that there is no Samsung account displayed (Settings>Accounts), buuuuut, you can't add it . What I did was:
1. Go back to Package Disabler Pro and enabled "Samsung Account".
2. Then go to Settings>Back up and reset
3. Factory data reset
4. Asked for Samsung account and I inserted my real account.
5. Done, now I can sync with my account.
The oooooooonly issue that I can't figure out it's the way to remove the "Reactivation lock" from Settings>Lock screen and security>Find my mobile.
Well that's all hope it works for you guys.
If this doesn't work for you, you can check out unlockjunky, they will definitely be able to do it.
Good luck!!

112
What ever you do, absolutely do not dial for example ( 112 )
Turns out 112 will connect you to your local emergency dispatch.....
Ask me how I know...
please change your number in the above post for newbies who may be trying to learn and have no clue what these phones are capable of...
Thanks

Mate, you are an absolute legend! I've been searching for 8hrs looking for a solution after hard resetting my phone and being unable to get past the Samsung Account lock afterwards (even though I had the right username & password!) About fifty useless/outdated YT videos & a few hundred websites/forums later - none of which were helpful, I finally stumbled across your post, despite it not showing up 8hrs ago when I came straight to XDA hoping to find a solution first.
I have an improved method for #2, 3 & 4 of your post and will add all relevant info soon (just need some kip now that the panic is over). I'll also expand a little on some details and include further options which worked in my particular case, but all n'all - you're an absolute legend mate and I'd be screwed & still panicking without your shared info. Huge thanks...

Nice meme dude ya got me

You have to dial an emergency number or this trick doesn't work. Its not practical for most folks but if you are worried about dialing an emergency number I'd recommend using a SIM out of a tablet that isn't phone number enabled.

Look for Aptoide apk download it to sd card and search for package disabler in this app and install it or download and copy Pachkage disabler you your sd card and run via file explorer or download and run ES File manager as I did.

when i make the call my wifi gets turned off and wont come back on till i restart the phone. i managed to open the browser but the wifi is off so i cant do anything after that except cry.
stock 5.0

Did you get it figured out I got the edge 6 plus to work fine now it was one of the tougher ones and I've done a few on some newer models what are you stuck on?

I thought the Combination Firmware would reset the FRP lock by default after being installed.

first thank you for sharing ur experience and i want to add
that i done it step by step and it works nicely but still cant remove the reactivation
and here is how iv done it after i bypassed it using ur method
i flashed a lower modem file from stock rom N910VVRU2BOG5 which is 5.0.1
at this point my imei went off
so i went for full flash by N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_HOME. which is 5.1.1 and did full hard reset
then i just signed in with the last Samsung account i used with ur method earlier and it passed so now i can easly remove reactivation mark , unlock and root then make it Arabic .
thx again

Did you ever post up the suggested steps to replace #'s 2-4 in the original post above? I'm not seeing them anyplace. This would be a big help. Thanks.

When I call I can't swipe to the right is there another way to open browers

I successfully used this to gain access to my phone but I believe that if I power cycle it I will be locked out again. Is there any way to remove or change the samsung account now that I am in? The options are greyed out in settings.

ADB and Root.
Hey, I have been working on these for a while keep finding new things each time I try to remove Reactivation Lock. However I was wondering if I show you guys how to enable ADB with RSA Key, and Root the device. Could someone show me how to remove the Reactivation Lock using root. I used other methods on older and newer models, but these S5's are the only ones giving me issues.

After weeks of going mad trying different solutions I've found online, here's what worked 100% for me just last night:
Login to Samsung Account on other device, select Password & Security, enter password then choose Devices. LOG-OUT of your S6 Edge if listed, confirm. Next change password - doesn't matter what, can even change it back afterwards.
Flash Lollipop (I used G925VVRU4BOK7)
Wipe Data/Cache
Boot fresh Stock firmware, enter/confirm network details, at Reactivation Lock prompt, enter user & updated password. Sign-in....
Settings -> Lock Screen & Security -> Find My Mobile. Unselect Reactivation Lock and enter password... voila!
Works for anybody else??

Can't access ProjectMenu

Hey there! So I have a problem. I was trying to go back to stock with a guide in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-huawei-p9-magic-rainbow-t3601064 . When I flashed update.zip, I was stupid enough to reboot my phone. Everything was looking fine. Untill I tried to access the projectmenu to se the USB mode to Manufacture mode. I entered this code into my dialer: *#*#2846579#*#* . The dialer just went back to the recent calls menu. So I tried to update, but the update failed. The last thing I tried was to flash the stock rom again with dload, but the problems kept occuring. I hope someone can help me, because I'm clueless.

Were you able to solve this? Im currently having issues with magiskhide which could be because of logging not being turned on so I tried to access the project menu and just like you said, it goes right back to the call log without the project menu popping up

what build number? if build number are different from original , then project menu can work, and can not

What do you mean different from original?
I'm on FRD-L09C432B407
That's an Honor 8 but if you have a fix it might still work

Question Problem after converting OriginOS to FuntouchOS

Hello there, i followed the Killuminati91's tutorial and converted it sucessfully. I relocked the bootloader and received the OTA update. But there are some problems occured:
After factory reset, and finishing android setup, the AOD and lifting the phone for waking up works perfectly. However, if i reboot the phone, both functions are not working, although i turned it on in settings.
Has anyone the same problem with me and fix it succesfully?
Sorry if my English is not good.
Thanks Killuminati91 for giving us the tutorial.

First off: I would NEVER lock the bootloader after switching firmware, there might be something broken in the long run and you cant fix it. If you still have the option I'd suggest to unlock it immediatly. If the firmware version is too high, maybe try to downgrade and then unlock again - no idea.
If something is not working as it is suposed to I'd always check the sensors that are related to the behaviour first. Maybe something is different in FunTouch.
Open your dialer and dial in *#0011# to open the service menu and test all sensors. If this isnt the right code, just search google for "service menu vivo".
I can not help you as I have no knowledge about these things, but maybe this can point you into the right direction.

Tks for your information. Just research on webiste, the problem is when i disable com.vivo.daemonservice, its will break the screen on. There is a threads confirmed this. So if i need it back, i just enable it again.
