Big Problem

hi all ... am facing a BIG problem ... was using a tm G1 from Europe (RC7) version which i bought from the local market .. it was probably used by someone in UK but now its here and we could use it with any local sim. ...
i tried to gain root access to the phone by following instructions from the site
http://coolpstuts.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-mod-root-jailbreak-your-g1.html
now once the phone restarted after the innitial updation the phone naturally wanted me to sign into my google account (which im assuming is the regular gmail account) but all the access points are from TMobile operators and even if i try to change the access points to the ones of my local carrier it wont connect... as if there is no internet connection.
now the situation is that iam stuck while everytime i restart the phone it asks me to signin to my gmail account and i cant do that since i have a different operator. I need to UnLock the phone to other operators i believe so that it can read my SIM ....
Please HELP !!!

so do you have root access or not? if you do have root access then you can either flash a rom that is ADP based which will allow you to skip the initial setup or, go to this thread and
download file from the second post
remove .zip extension
place file on the root of you sdcard (the upmost folder)
boot into recovery (home and power)
go to the recovery console
press enter
type mount /system
then type mount /sdcard
then type cp /sdcard/apns-conf.xml /system/etc if the cp command will not work substitute it with mv
finally type reboot
if this method doesn't work then just flash an ADP based rom.
if you do not have root then look at this thread.

If you insert a non-T-Mobile SIM into a locked G1, it will present a lock screen before it shows anything else. So I am guessing your G1 is already unlocked? You just need to press menu at the Google sign-in screen and enter a new APN. Remember to open the menu and tap save when you are done entering the APN info.

You only have to sign in to Gmail once after the initial flashing of the rom. Now, you phone HAS to be unlocked in order for you to even get to the sign-in screen with non-T-mobile SIM. Sounds like all you need is APN Settings from your provider. Once you have those, hit menu button at the sign in screen and put them in. You should be good to go.
Good luck, let us know how it turns out.

wow guyz it worked.... cant thank you much !! i just threw in the correct settings and it went all good
my current situation is that i added "DREAIMG.NBH" and updated the phone with the file. ..
the second portion of the update was to reboot and than do the telnet thingy which i didnt do as of the moment .... this i was doing to gain ROOT access to the phone ... do you think that i should complete the TELNET portion of the update as well and than continue with anything or is there any way to upgrade to cupcake 1.5 (my ultimate goal) without gaining the root access ?

If you just want to update to 1.5 without gaining root, find a T-Mo EU update.zip file and run it in the recovery.

although the phone is unlocked (as per the experience) but if (lets say) i do update the phone to 1.5 without the root gain ... will it lock the phone again or something (asking me to enter only T-Mob SIM only) ??

No, there is probably no way to re-simlock a phone once it has been unlocked. Remember that the state of the simlock is stored internally in the baseband processor and is not affected at all by what you do on the main processor or in the accessible memory spaces.

thanks alot jashsu and others ... will bug u guyz laterz for other stuff ...

We are in the same boat mate..
Standing to lose all the data on my fone..
Thanks to xiaomi..

We are aware of this issue and we are working on a fix. My personal opinion this "locked bootloader" is useless.. If someone doesnt want to play around with it they will just leave it. Anyway... The should be an update of Mi Suite soon that will fix this problem, thank god that I didnt update lol

Well most beta testers used Xiaomi's reccovery which worked fine with the update so they did not end up in a bootloop but for users like us using TWRP it was otherwise. Try doing a request again maybe? Write bit more details etc. I do apologise for the inconvenience of this update being released, I'm happy i never updated myself as I do use my phone a lot for business purposes which is very vital.

I'm using this, is it the older version? working well.
xiaomi.eu_multi_leo_V7.1.4.0.LXHCNCK_v7-5.1.zip
No updates showing in updater. I s everyone saying they now have no phone?
I need phone for work why am I having no issues.
I see no way back as the update disables fastboot. Luck and only luck stopped me applying the update.

Posted another req for unlock..keeping my fingers crossed..

So whats the best course of action? thinking return to stable, lock bootloader and sell. Anyone got a better idea?

Exactly what @arkabose said. You can also disable automatic download.

So this looks like the only option for the lucky ones who haven't locked their bootloader.

1. Due to large amounts of requests, please wait for 10-12 days after submitting your application. If you haven't get any info after 10-12 days, please make a thread on en.miui with your Xiaomi account number, we will check it for you. Thanks for understanding
2. The unlocking procedure only supports MIUI China developer version (6.1.12 or later version) currently. MIUI China stable version will get supported in future updates
3. Some Mi Note Pro users could not unlock bootloader after updating to 6.1.12. This issue will be solved in the next update

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!!

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...

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...

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??

SM-N960XU - Retail Demo Model

Thread Closed: even if it is completely innocent, discussion about how to bypass a locked device, stolen or not, is prohibited on Xda for obvious reasons.
Hey there, First time Posting but Long time Lurker.
I was wondering if theirs a site for a firmware for this device. A buddy of mine bought one off eBay and well my buddy forgot to unlock the OEM and Enable Debug...... (Rip)
It's Probably really early for anything since the phones just come out but was wondering if anyone here knew of a site thats run by Samsung or something that has retail roms to
fix demo models.
Any help is help, ive tried doing factory roms and everything but it just goes to Fail Modem on boot with unauthorized os.
Thanks!

I have same model : SM960XU
And same problem, after flash : it's stucks with green screen with SECURE CHECK ERROR : MODEM.
did you fix your problem ?
can anyone help with it ?

Hey Guys,
First of all for the toads living inside the well who hasn't seen the outside world: A Demo model isn't always necessarily stolen. These are given by samsung for earliest testers and or app developers whom are sponsored by Samsung. Also, When the Product reaches EOL, Samsung never collects them. Those are usually distributed among the staff, and or close associates of the store keepers. You'll see them a lot on eBay, But never pay and obtain one - because that might be stolen. If you are receiving one from a legit source for no payment, Nothing to worry. These Demo's are never sold, and are always distributed or placed in stores for free. Also, They have a tracing app which shows where they are placed, on which date and by whom, along with it's power on/off state, and a separate FOTA Server for Demo content to be downloaded.
For the Solutions: You can always flash them with the regular firmware once you identify the CPU Type. Install an app like CPUZ from an OTG, and then run it. Check the CPU type (Snapdragon or Exynos).
If it's Exynos it should be N960F firmware, and If Snapdragon it should be S. I'm not so sure about Snapdragon, but the surest way to verify this is check the units which are sold to customers in the same store. Demo's are usually based on the region.
When flashing through Odin, You can load all 4 files, the modem won't be rejected if it's the same CPU. (I've done it numerous times for Exynos devices). Before flashing, Make sure to tick Nand-Erase option in Odin, and Flash it away.
If You've screwed up the device to a potato state with Download Mode, Download the firmware files from a Paid Site (Won't link them here, You can Google for them using the firmware code on the demo device).
Hope this info helps you mate, If not or if you need more information - Send me a PM with the Questions.

Thanks for answer. Fully agree with you about low IQ people who think Live Demo Unite - it's "probably stolen unite .." ...
SM-N960XU
1. if some one have this model , do not flash it before you go in to "retail mode app" - and enter login and password - to disable ( not remove ) - retail mode...
login and password easy to find on itnernet for free.
2. i didnt desable retail software before going to flash my note9.. and this is problem... now , knox loader - wont start new firmware.. all flashing going well... Odin say nothing , but ... green sreen and "security error - on restart"...
Nothing helping.
- wiping cash - not helping
- wiping to factory settings ( from recovery ) - is desabled by MDM ,
what is MDM ?
MDM (Mobile Device Management) Policy is a software package that Samsung will supply enterprise. The companies want use smartphones and tablets as a tool to support their employees but they want to limit some functions such as Camera function is disable, Browser function is disable...and now, my team will solve "MDM does not allow factoryReset"
----
well... nothing helps.
but here some interesting finds...
Demo Unite model is : SM-N960XU
It's was surprise for me, but same model name is for regular Note9 is also ..
SM-N960XU
Look at this :
.samsung .com /ca/support/model/SM-N960XZKUXAC/
visit page, and you see "SM-N960XU".
but URL states : SM-N960XZKUXAC
If i am understand right , this is full name of regular phone ?
SM-N960XZKUXAC
so i am probably need to look for some firmware for SM-N960XZ ? Corrert ?
--------
Anyway - what i will to try now, i want to install custom recovery. and from custom recovery i will wipe system and install fresh firmare.
i think custom recovery will replace - samsung recovery what is blocking phone from starts new firmware..
but only one problem...
when i try to install twpr - ODIN3 - tells me : complete write operation failed
So it's means : knox wont let me replace it self..
WHAT TO DO ?

XDA doesn’t allow this kind of posting as it’s a grey area!! Stolen or not! None of you can prove you purchased via legit mean?? As even Samsung does not sell them so how can it be legit?? And don’t say eBay/Amazon it can be stolen and resold on there! So you can kiss those theory goodbye!!
That’s why they don’t have modems, as Samsung did not release them for the general public! You can’t bypass no matter how much you flash it! Mods shut this thread down before someone grows some i.q! LOL
