[Q] PXXAMC1 network unlocking - Samsung Galaxy S II Plus

hey guys,
my first post here although i've been reading xda for years when searching stuff. great forum, great guys
so here is my problem: i have an I9105PXXAMC1 bought months ago from t-mobile austria in wien, has stock firmware 4.1.2 and it seems that it is network locked. from my little knowledge i guess that it isn't that hard to reset this, is just something like a file somewhere in the android os system? i've seen apps on google play claiming that they can network unlock but i guess they need a rooted device.. but: this is just my feeling about things, maybe i'm wrong, so, please, i need your help:
what should i do in the simplest way to network unlock this phone? i've read threads listing firmwares, there are also rooting guides but i see many differences based on the exact baseband version of the phone and now i actually don't know what should i do.
do i need to root the phone? what's the right guide for this baseband version?
if i do it is there a way to get back to stock version in the unfortunate case that the phone has issues and i have to send it back to warranty?
please, someone give me a head start
thanks much!

ok, after flashing your t-mobile banding is gone, but it will be still simlocked...

aktually there is no way to unlock it for free. the only way is to buy a code.
i tried everything...no way
you can also go to a seitengassenjugoshop, they will make it 4 u

thanks, if i understood things well, after flashing a prerooted firmware, i can simunlock the device with some techniques/apps, right?
or the safest is just to buy a network unlock code from the internet?

edit:
ok, just saw your edit.. so only the unlock code will work? how come? why those from 'seitengassenjugoshop' (i guess you meant those little mobile shops where they do repairs, decode, etc) can do it without the code? or they buy this code also?
if code is only solution: where should i buy it? i don't trust those websites and they also don't seem very cheap.

I dont know how it is with our device but i had the same problem with the htc desire c from my little brother and after i unlocked bootloader flashed cwm, a custom Firmware and rooted it the simlock was gone.
He had t-mobile lock as well.

ok, so you are saying to first start with this prerooted firmware you've linked me, try eventually some simunlock apps and if it doesn't work try CWM's way with some firmware like cyanogenmod?
i guess that would void warranty in an irreversible way, or there are ways around it?
i've done it with CWM then tried many custom firmwares on my i9300 months ago, i guess i can manage to work my way through that. currently running CM 10.2 that just got in few days ago for i9300. the only thing is not to brick this i9105p, it's not mine, it's a friend's

U can reset binary counter with triangle away from chainfire.
So warranty is back

ok, so i've tried many things, now trying stuff with CM10.1, but still no luck.. well, i guess that buying the code is the only solution for this phone?
i've also read about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731931 method but can't find that nv_data.bin file anywhere in my /efs!
actually, all the files in /efs are very small and seem of no use.. what's wrong with those i9105p phones?
anyway: does anybody know a good trustworthy source for buying a code? of course, at the most reasonable price possible.

Doh!
Well, in that case, I guess I didn't need to hurry and root/unlock just now in the fear that I'd be blocked off forever.
Oh well, I really didn't want that "remote access" app anywhere near my phone.
I was able to update to the new OTA and keep Root/Bootloader Unlocked using The Mobile Odin Pro App.
By the way, no surprise but they did in fact "dumb down"on device searching.

I can confirm 100% you will have no issues with it. I look like a newbish person here as I don't come on xda much. I just thought I'd spread the love over here. I'm usually over @ Rootz.
http://rootzwiki.com/user/19244-goose306/
I don't like to pull this card, but hopefully you see I have enough reps over there to at least know what I'm talking about
That being said all its going to really do is give you a better radio and patch the no sim issue, and install more bloat (Verizon Remote Access) and dumb down your search abilities. So its about 50/50 as far as benefits. But if you don't like it you can ODIN back to previous firmware versions anyways, so it really isn't that big of a deal. The best benefit you could have would be to root it, unlock it, block the OTA, then install the new radio separately. This will get you the benefit of the new radio and patching the no sim error but without the new Verizon bloat and without the neutered search capability. Best of both worlds.
If you plan on flashing ROMs about the only thing you will be keeping from this OTA going forward will be the new radio. So it doesn't really make a lick of difference either way as the radio can be flashed separately as discussed.

Thanks, I said f'k it and rooted and unlocked. Don't plan on flashing anything now because am really enjoying this Rom stock but when we get a Verizon JB leak I want to make sure I can install it. We will probably see a leak months before a release.
Had anyone seen any improvement with the new radio as of yet, I know it's a bit early to tell really but, well...you know.

S3 - Not registed on Network after Jelly Bean Flash

I'm getting a Not Registered On Network error on my phone since I tried the official Jelly Bean update.
The IMEI seems to ave changed too and I've a serial number of 00000000
I had a look at other threads but this only happen after I did the flash - I've tried going back to stock but it seems to be there too
Theres an official jellybean update for this device? *headscratch*
I'm going to assume you flashed the update for the international variant on your d2vzw. Odin back to stock.

In the dev section there is a tutorial on how to backup and restore your IMEI. I still *knock on wood* haven't run into that issue yet.

Did you properly backup your IMEI as described in several threads in the development section? If so, restoring your IMEI is simple.

No, there are several unofficial Jellybean roms for our phone. They are based on the T-Mobile leak from a while back. We're a ways away from an official jellybean OTA. The OP wouldn't be able to boot their phone and discover their IMEI changed/phone number reset had they flashed an international rom.

Sadly you flashed an international rom. Sorry. I thought this would be a hard brick. But since you can boot you can odin back to stock.

Its not a hard brick since he is able to boot up, but beyond that IDK. OP, when you said you tried stock and still no go, did you mean that you used Odin to flash a stock image? If not, that is your best bet.
As long as you can odin back to stock and you have a Verizon device, there is a tool in the dev sections stickies that can restore your IMEI even without a backup.
Now that u r back to stock do a search for IMEI restore on xda to restore your phone.
For future reference note that there are several GS3 variants and u can only flash the one specific to your carrier if u want to have a functional device. The international version doesn't even have the same processor.

You are correct, but I think you mean more accurate not precise
THanks for all the pointers - I'm a bit confused though and possibly I haven't given enough info...
The S3 was originally running on AP i9300xxalef CP i9300xxlef CSC 19300OJVALEC and it was rooted - I'm in Ireland so it appears to be an international phone.
I can't get a product code because when I try it gives me NOt Registered On Network
Previously when ever I tried to update it via Keis I never could and it always showed the serial as 000000000 I also think the IMEI as different.
I did try to flash it previously and it failed I but it kept working - So I wonder could the IMEI switch have come from that - as I do seem to remember the 000000000 from before I tried Jelly Bean.
If I put it back on the same AP CP and CSC would it work again - and how would I go about it?
Thnaks
Brought it back to the original firmware - and getting a no signal icon now!
I don't know of any tool for the international model's Exynos that is like the tool for the Qualcomm processor.
Everything I've seen, says in order to restore it on the Exynos processor, you need to have backed up your EFS folder. There are a couple threads in the International GS2 forum (not the GS3 forum) detailing how to repair it, but that entails you having have backed up your EFS folder.
Not sure if there is a way to fix the problem if you are able to get the IMEI number from your box or behind the battery.
Edit: I just did some googling and found there is some kind of Samsung tool for repairing it. There are a couple youtube videos that I found as well. Some tec site is claiming that once you restore to stock, you get a new EFS folder on your phone and although the information will be incorrect inside of it, you may be able to edit it. :shrug: You would have better luck in the international forums though if you have an international phone.

[Q] No SIM or wifi after factory reset

Hi,
Yesterday, I had an update from 4.1.1. to 4.1.2. I'm running the stock rom. After I ran in the update, I re-rooted using CF-Auto Root.
Today, I thought I'd do a factory reset. Now, my phone won't detect any SIM card (I've tried 2) and although it seems to detect my wifi, it won't connect.
I had the phone on airplane mode when I selected the factory reset, but I wouldn't have thought that would matter.
Interestingly, I can now select airplane mode to turn on, but it then ghosts out and I can't turn it off.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Please help!
I'm inclined to think this is a software problem as both sim and wifi worked perfectly before the factory reset.
I've tried registering with SamMobile to download the stock rom, but their registration page seems to be wonky. It complains I haven't completed the anti-spam task, but this area of the form is just blank.
yep.. thats a loophole in google... try doing it again... this time with cwm.. if that doesnt work.. u have to get the stock rom via odin

Thanks for all the replies.
One further question, then I'll go hunting ....
I have the GT-N7105T. I know the T variant has different radios. Some people say you can use N7105 roms and some people say no.
Can I safely use an N7105 rom on my N7105T? The phone is pretty useless at the moment but I'd rather not brick it.

There's your problem!
The difference between the regular Galaxy model and the T variant is the modem. Telstra 'tweak' it on a hardware level for their NextG network and it means that the performance of the modem is affected to varying degrees (severe in your case) if you use a non 'T' modem.
There should be a modems thread, there should be a N7105T modem. I'll have a look and post back if I find one.

TDVALK4 (Australia / Telstra) N7105TDVALK3
Either of these should work, keep them to flash after you reflash a rom onto your phone

I've tried flashing the modem but unfortunately it had no effect.
I don't have the phone on me so I can't confirm this, but I'm starting to have scary thoughts about the efs. Unfortunately the only changes I've ever made to my Androids was just to root, and I didn't even know what the efs was.
Thing is, after my update my phone worked fine for over 24 hours before I reset it. Does this sound like the efs? How can I tell if that's the problem?
I guess I had to learn somehow, and I've definitely learnt ...
Would it be possible for me to get a copy of an efs folder from another Note 2 and adapt it to mine?
For anyone else who may come across this, I solved the problem by downloading the stock ROM from sammobile and flashing that.
I have also now flashed TWRP and have taken a nandroid including the EFS.
We all have to start somewhere, but hopefully my bad experience will prevent someone else's.

Rooted - fairly simple

I rooted using twrp openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltetmo.img.tar via Odin 3.07, and installing UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip from the SD .
Now, when will there be ROMs?
Did you root the non-dev or dev version?
---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------
Correct me if I'm wrong, but trltetmo is for T-Mobile, isn't it?
FYI - this method does not work on retail phones . . . at least for me.
We probably won't see root until our boot loader is unlocked by Verizon.
Mine is dev and was a quick easy root exactly as stated.

A dev please adapt this for the Edge when it is updated for the Note 4. This is for the Retail version.

I used this same method and can confirm it works flawlessly.
Works great. Having troubles with making and receiving casks atm but I think this is something else since it was working fine before that.
That's odd. I haven't had any issues yet. Using Xposed for a few tweaks and to activate the hotspot. Would be great to have a couple of roms to test.

I am not sure if it is something I uninstalled which was basically everything that said "Verizon ______" and then I uninstalled instagram, NFL mobile, audibel, amazon, Knox, etc. I don't think any of those were needed... and I still have Internet just not calls...

Quick question: can I extract an app from the stock Verizon firmware on sammobile?
I think one of the Verizon apps I deleted may be causing this.

I froze or Uninstalled the same things with titanium without any problems. I would believe you could get them from a stock rom. Question for you....... is your network set up correctly? Mine was on Global but I switched to LTE/CDMA.

It's on global but it's been that way this whole time. I tried switching to LTE/CDMA also and it didn't fix anything. I tried a "factory reset" but as you can imagine nothing happened. It rebooted to twrp and deleted all my apps/accounts. But nothing got reinstalled lol. Also on sammobile the link for the Verizon stock is broken all I get is a 404 when I click it... now I've done it lol.
Gonna try this method on Tuesday, when I get mine...Thx!

So will this work for the retail version too or only the dev edition? Thanks for any clarification! :fingers-crossed:

Can you use my backups? I have the stock and the rooted. I will send them to you if you want to recover with them. Maybe check your Sim card too.

Thank you! It was what I dreaded, but I'll keep hope alive! lol UGH.
Verizon has spent a ton of money locking down their bootloaders, there has been a bounty for the galaxy s4 bootloader for quite some time now (think we are in the third year or more) even if root comes to the retail version (hard to see that since the only root methods currently involve flashing something with odin) it is even less likely any of them will see custom roms. that is unless someone picks up the safestrap project as i last heard it was dropped. Dev editions are going to be the new norm for anyone on verizon, gonna be the only way to get custom anythings.
that said has anyone been able to extract their stock recovery or make a backup of the stock image from their dev edition? at this point i'd be like forever your BFF if you could get me back to stock since KIES wont work and samsung support doesnt even know the Developer Edition is on sale yet...... let along can they get me a stock recovery image lol....
also i just inboxed you @ffr3245 i am not sure if ti will work, but at this point i'd try just about anything.
I can not get these to upload!!! Anyways, I found docugod's post where he had uploaded his recovery image which is stock without root from Note Edge Developer Ed. Thanks go to him. With that being said, you should not have any problems using that recovery image. But as always do so at your own risk. And for anyone else reading.......This is for the Note Edge DEVELOPER EDITION, it is NOT for the retail Verizon one.

P907A 5.1.1 root?

Just wondering if anyone has figured out root for 5.1.1 yet, or if it will be possible?
Thank you

I second this wholly!
Does the towelroot method work?
Towelroot doesn't work.
I've tried a whole bunch of different methods adapted from other devices but nothing works. Different bootloaders, kernels and such. I'm not a dev so my knowledge is limited but I am willing to try whatever if anyone has any ideas.
It's a shame. This is a hell of a tablet on 5.1.1. Just missing root. Don't want to downgrade but I'm mostly missing multi window for some apps that don't support it. And a few other things.

Didn't bootloaders and kernels? 0_o ... I thought the bootloader was locked by AT&T good and tight?

I'm on the p907a. The locked bootloader is the issue. Like I said I'm not a dev so I didn't understand the whole locked bootloader thing. Still don't completely but I've learned a bit trying different things.
Usually I just wait for someone to root whatever I'm using but this tablet gets so little attention I thought I might learn and try it myself. Waaaayyyy over my head here. LOL

Did anybody try the flashfire method? It worked with lollipop 5.02 on my LTE.

I can get it to flash with Flashfire but I don't know how to pre root the update. If I use Flashfires ever root it boot loops on the Note Pro screen.

Anyone know if it's possible to downgrade back to KitKat? I'd be willing to go for it if I knew I could go back.

You can go back to stock with the original firmware.

Yea i updated it , but found out i couldn't root so just odined back to 4.1 i believe. No problems. .
I would like to know as well. I'll be all set once we get root....if we ever do.
I doubt we will ever get root for this tablet on 5.1.1. Unless another Towelroot like solution is found. Nobody really cares about this tablet and when you add the hardware bugs it had from launch its no wonder. Its a shame but it is what it is.
