What exact model do you have? What guide were you using?

Sph d720. Its for my friend, not sure which guide. I think I'm gonna try the Odin package I found that takes it back to stock. What would u recommend? Thank you

First, try this.

I'm not sure how to do that tho. Is it thru adb, where is the fastboot file? I appreciate the help tho

The ODIN package should work nicely for you, then you can go from there. Personally I would use that, flash cwm, and throw a nice rom on (cyanogen is working beautifully for me personally)

Yeah I was going to use the nexus s 4g one click root if the Odin package works. Thank you

Ok I've read this before but can't find the answer now, I've rebooted my phone which is still stock, not rooted yet, turned my phone off then on, and it came on with a unlock sign? I've done nothing special yet why would my phone all of a sudden do this my phone is new since launch it was a pre-order, I've turned it off and on before this never happen before.any ideas?

This has been covered so many times. Please search a little harder. We see one of these at least twice a week. It means nothing. Carry on.

My device did this bone stock aswell...not sure why. Normally you will get a custom unlock screen after rooting with odinand flashing a recovery thru ez recovery on a locked bootloader. the fix, unlock your bootloader.

no I didn't do nothing that's why it's so weird I'm not even rooted,I have all the tools but haven't done it yet.

Tried this a few days ago, worked well. Sucks that this phone doesn't operate on many networks in Canada.

Gonna try it later on today will post back results. Thanks for the link TC

Thanks for the link. I'll give it a shot. I've got my doubts but meh.. I'm young.. I'll adjust

Requested. Will post if it works.

Hm, Anyone know how I can input my SIM Unlock Code? I tried putting an invalid SIM (Rogers SIM and a Bell SIM) but I can't get to the SIM Unlock page. I also tried the 2945#*999# But it gets stuck at USSD Code running on the WIND Sim card and doesn't work on any other SIM.

Are you running a stock ROM? I did it with mine using the special menu, but I had to flash the stock ROM in order to do it.

Hi G2xer,
Thanks for sharing this great site. I am a Canadian Wind user. By following the instruction, I am able to get an unlock code to unlock my phone.
For all the Wind user out there,
If you are on CM7 based rom, you will need to restore back to stock rom first. Otherwise, you will not be able to get to the unlock screen.
Thanks,

Hi all,
Works great as advertised. Thanks to the OP for sharing this gem.

Could be a scam to get IMEI numbers to clone phones/enable activation of stolen phones.

What do you mean by try a different modem sorry im noob ! thanks!

It may help with your issues, there are only a couple options for this phone, can be flashed in recovery like you did your rom.
Someone has a post, I believe a sticked one that has all the modems for you to choose from

Get the latest sim card, free from t mo, I think the latest is t9177 but if you call or go to store they'll tell you. Or try a different ROM, or go pull a logcat to see what's going on when service drops

now, when you say it doesn't let you register on the T-Mobile network, what do you mean? No bars? What rom, kernel, and radio are you using?

I would ask t-mobile if it was blacklisted not some random website if your worried about that and did you try a different sim card?

Well, this has happened to me before and a data/system/cache/dalvik format and then a reflash of CM 10 fixed the problem (IDK why but it did) Assuming you've already tried that I would flash back to a Samsung Official GB or ICS ROM and see if it works then.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR RETURNING TO STOCK SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 OFFICIAL FIRMWARE
So first register at www.sammobile.com, then search SGH-T769 under firmware and download the August 2012 ICS or The Feb 2013 ICS Firmware, wait for the download to finish (took me 30 minutes) then extract which ever firmware zip you downloaded then using Odin click on PDA and select the .md5 file which is located in the extracted ICS Firmware Folder that you've downloaded from sammobile.com
Download the PIT file here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
Click on PIT in Odin and then select the one downloaded from the link above
then make sure re-partition isn't checked and start the flashing process after it is done flashing and reboots you'll have stock ics to root it simply follow the instructions over at the root ics stock thread found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
This will flash a custom recovery and once the recovery is flashed using Odin reboot into recovery and flash the superuser.zip then you'll have Rooted Stock ICS Firmware
*BOOT LOOP MIGHT OCCUR*
To fix boot looping after flashing stock ICS just boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot or on custom recover wipe cache and dalvik cache reboot and you're good to go.
