can someone please run the product code checker from SGS Tools or SGS Toolbox and repost or pm me with the proper product code for the Rogers I896
i am guessing SGH-I896KZAROG
but just want to make sure
PS - if you have a proper product code in your nv_data file.
would greatly appreciate a 2nd favor.
-download Hex Editor free from Market.
-open hex editor
-use capacitive menu button to open options and select open file
-navigate to EFS folder and open nv_data.bin
-go back to menu using capacitive button and selection jump to address
-enter 0188000 (will take you to line 00188000 which is where we need to be)
the lines i am interested in will all be on screen: 00188000, 00188008, 00188010, 00188018, and 00188020
if you could please post the hex code for each line (to the immediate right of each line you will see 8 blocks of data in green text each containing two letters/two numbers/or combo of letter/#)
I need the data from each of the 8 blocks from those 5 lines.
if you could just cut and paste the lines below into response and provide the data black next to them for each line
00188000
00188008
00188010
00188018
00188020
Not sure if this is helpful...read your other thread on how to do change product code. I am on a custom rom and my IMEI is the same as when I first got the phone. IF THAT MEANS THAT MY PRODUCT CODE SHOULD REMAIN THE SAME, then my product code is: SGH-I896ZKARWC....but once again, i'm not very confident about this...I just noticed that no one else responded yet

That is the correct product code, but it can be changed by custom roms.
Thanks for the quick reply...I just confirmed this too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10406775&postcount=221
You type faster though
It's funny that some roms change the PC and IMEI on certain phones but not others...

I spent hours trying to get my MSL. None of the methods I found really worked on the Motorola Triumph.
Eventually, I found my own method and it's way easier than any other method I've seen.
Download and install aLogcat (free) from the Android Market.
Run aLogcat and set it to filter for "sec_code"
Go to your Phone apk and dial ##33284#
When prompted for the MSL, type 000000.
Now, go to aLogcat. And it should have found a "sec_code:" line with your MSL code at the end of it. It's 6 digits.
Hope that helps.

PLEASE NOTE
If this does not work for you, you can try to use this code in the dialer *2767*3855# using a stock rom. To see if it will factory reset your device.
You may also try ##RTN# to reset device, this will erase all settings and data from the device. In order for this code to you work you must be on a stock touch wiz rom and enable hidden menu.
Prerequisites

How To
You must enable the diagnostic port on your device. If you are on a TouchWiz based rom follow TouchWiz Diag else follow ASOP Diag.

2. Connect the device to your computer and open "Device Manger"
3. Check under "Ports" and Look for Samsung and Note the Comport it is on.
4. Open the software and under comports select the comport number you found your device on then click connect.
5. Check the IMEI number of to the left, and note the ERI message. If it is red and says your ERI is missing or not found. Please do both methods.
6. If your ERI is not found, click on "Repair" in the ERI section, if your IMEI is missing, when asked to reboot click "NO" other wise click yes and you are done.
7. Type your IMEI in the IMEI box, Do not worry about MEID it will auto fill once IMEI is typed.
8. You will notice that the last number is added automatically this is done using the Luna Algo and is a checksum number.
9. Once you have typed your IMEI click on "Repair" in the IMEI section, once the repair is done your phone will auto reboot.

How To Upload ERI using Revskills
Manual Method / How This Works
The IMEI part is complex and I wont go into detail on that at all. If you dont have access to a windows machine, then I'm sorry but most of the avail tools that will allow you to repair IMEI is going to be Windows based and you can use a virtual machine. Not with my tool but others. This is mostly going to be focused on the ERI it self.
The ERI is binary file that is stored on the QCOM chipset, this is the primary file the "Radio" and the device use in order to determine certain functionality of the device.
This is stored as /nvm/eri_0 on the QCOM's EFS. You can use QPST EFS Explorer all though it will probably crash, or some other EFS explorer for Qualcomm chipset's.
I have uploaded the original eri_0 file to this forum. All you have to do is download it. User QPST or Bitpim, Revskills, and upload the file to /nvm/eri_0 you can leave it's permissions as 666 or chmod the permissions to 777 your choice the phone will read it either way.
The /nvm/eri_0 that is uploaded to this forum comes from a stock s3, although its the same ERI file Verizon has been using forever. Thats all this tool does. Simply fix's the IMEI and uploads a good eri file to the correct directory.
Questions and Answers
Q) Do I need to do anything special first like back up any part of my phone or anything ?
A) No, as long as you can enable diag port you can restore your IMEI, just look on the back of your device under the battery for your original IMEI. I STILL ADVISE YOU TO BACK UP using this method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
Q) Can this change IMEI?
A) Its purpose is not to change IMEI doing so is illegal and any talk about changing the IMEI will be reported and you may be banned. I advise against it as it could cause unknown issues.
Q) Can you share how this works.
A) No, sorry my position, my family and my job comes first and this would put me in a bad position.
Q) Can you just tell me in pm.
A) No so dont bother asking.
Q) My phones says Roaming and show roaming icon will this fix it ?
A) Yes this should be able to fix that issue, it does that by uploading the ERI back to the QCOM chipset.
Q) Should I / Do I have to donate ?
A) No, you don't need to donate, and I don't want you to fell you need to. Your donation could go to something else EFF, Adam Outler, XDA, Poor kids in any country, some other foundation. If you feel you would like to donate to me you can, I wont stop you and I wont ask you to.
Credits
Not sure who all to credit if you feel your name should be here Just tell me and why and Ill post it here. I did not read any of the other forum really, but ill list who i have seen and who as helped me identify it was the ERI
Also no particular order

Sorry if this is a stupid question. Flame me if you must.
Is it possible to port this to another device or edit to make it compatible. I personally don't need it, but anyone with a lost imei would find it immensely useful. As you can see from my sig I have an att galaxy s2 skyrocket. Thanks for your time.

Mike on XDA,
It's possible but it would have to be written for that device, meaning I would have to have test device or some way to check stuff.
Damn, this is legit man. Thanks so much for making this tool. I have yet to lose mine, but I'm sure it'll happen at some point.

ok, so by following this steps on topic :
- Install the app Nexus 5 Field Test mode
- Make sure you have the phone rooted
- Enable usb debugging
- Now you need to obtain your SPC code. For doing it open Nexus 5 Field Test Mode App, got to settings (view), then LTE, and click on edit. At the same time use logcat to get the SPC code
you should use it on "adb " and you will get the spc code
Hi guys, Happy 2017 for all, I have this phone for start the new year, but I live in Argentina, of course LTE isn't working, only 3G and variants, and I want to unlock the bands, but when I'm in the DATA MENU, The edit menu ask me for MSL CODE, and I'm tired of searching a solution, nothing works, so, maybe you guys knows something about this, I'm using 6.0.1 now, I don't know what I need to do, I can downgrade also. I trust in you guys and maybe someone can help me!
Regards and happy new year to all!! <3
:laugh:
the only way I know is by using galaxy tools. i sent you the two files you need. those files were meant to work on lollipop. Root phone, install gt 3.1.5, open it and grant it root permission, then install 3.1.8 update, click the big 'update' button, and reboot phone immediately after updating. Then, open the galaxy tools app again from the app drawer, and you will be able to see the msl code.
You could also get the msl code on 6.0.1 with galaxy tools. All you have to do before installing anything is just copy the "su" file that you can find in either /su/bin or /su/xbin and paste it in either /system/bin or /system/xbin, and just follow the same instructions above for installing galaxy tools.
