yes, im having trouble sim unlocking my rogers tab.
I bought it used already unlocked, but when I put a different sim card , it shows locked
When I check lock (*#7465625#) I shows unlocked.
I bought a unlock code but its unsuccessful.
I was hoping downgrading to 3.2 might help but after some reading ,I don't think that will help
thank you for your reply , any help would be appreciated

Wifi error, no bluetooth no wifi?

Hi everybody,
I got this phone on ebay when i was in US. I didnt check the phone when I was there.. It is being to late to send it back i guess..
The phone has problem with wifi and bluetooth. Wifi shows error when i try to enable it. and bluetooth show nothing.. NO Mac address shows on info.
After a little search as i understand, i need to flash the kernel on the phone. But i have no knowlage on flahing kernel..
Any ideas would be appreciated.. thanks.
Can't flash the kernal due to the locked bootloader. You can try using RSDlite to flash the fastboot files. Look in the dev section

Maybe you can try flashing a stock ROM and SBFing?

Oh duh, is this the Verizon D3? (862) I ask because that is all the SBF will work for. The 860 doesn't have SBF yet AFAIK.

Im on stock rom froyo. Should i start at the "prepping the system" step? Thanks a lot for your help.
Well, this is my opinion, I am not sure what Overcome will say.
The prep is needed because there are some people who are on locked bootloader in froyo.
Also, once rooted you can do Titanium Backup.
That is why it says you need to be rooted first.
But:
- if you don't care about Titanium Backup, no need to root.
- if you have locked bootloader, you won't be able to continue. Unless you root, then unlock the bootloader.
So my suggestion, jump straight to the Odin flash for froyo.
Edit: I never have locked boot loader so I don't know the impact.
the guy on the other thread can't boot after flashing, and think maybe it is due to boot loader locked.
So I retract, best is to follow overcome to the letter if you are on froyo.
Im already rooted with z4 root. What should i do now? What step should i go to?
still from the top.
Froyo, right?
You need to check if your bootloader is locked.
If not locked, and you have all your apps backup,
then just get the GB-stock-safe package,
unzip it and flash using Odin.
will try that later once i'm free thanks
i followed all the steps and managed to run on overcome, but now i can't get any mobile network signal and still can't make calls. help meeee

[Q] Unlock Question

I have a Captivate that I am using for a media player (no sim card). Right now I am running REMICS 4.2.
My son-in-law broke his phone and I want to let him use mine but he is on a different carrier.
Do I have to go back to stock or GB in order to unlock? And yes, I have tried the apps and the codes for checking lock/unlock does not work with JB.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!:good:

I think the app does work on JB gotta input the code while the other SIM card is in the phone.
If I'm wrong, you might need to be on stock GB but doesn't make much sense to me
GalaxSim Unlock app by Spocky from the Play Store. The ability to do the unlock isn't free but should do the job on the JB Rom.
The other unlock app by helroz, u would have to flash back to Stock first then unlock...i think.

There would also be the manual way... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045 it's not as simple as downloading an app but it's very effective and permanent.

So now you have the free choice to choose your OS did you want stock OS? Do you want GB or ICS Stock? Or you want CM or MIUI there are so many guides here that tell you what you need to do just say what you want.
Besides wouldnt it be nicer to have a OS that not labeled on a Provider?
I would like ics on it

Well ICS stock rom OR CM?
You should Consider changing the Bootloader to the ICS Bootloader some bugs are resolved in this. and most new ROMĀ“s are build for the new one.
So CM, MIUI or Stock based?
Stock

Actually wouldn't I need fido OS on it if I can reuse my code to unlock it again or would it be unlocked still.

[Q] Need some help with the S3 mini Telus (Canada) Version SM-G730w8

So first off, I have been able to put different firmware onto this phone. Up until i did the OTA 4.4(?) not sure exactly but the latest. I didnt realize at the time of this and i tried to put an older version back(4.2.2) and now my phone cannot connect to my computer network and also doesnt show that there is any phone networks connection. Did i brick it? Is there a fix? Remember that my s3 mini is NOT a GT-whatever.
Which file you put in youre s3mini, can you boot in the recovery mode? Sure you had the g730w8?

Well i sort have figured it out, but what i mainly wanted was to root, unlock and then update, but instead i rooted, updated(by accident), downgraded, got a new line on the odin mode on the cell. "bootloader rp swrev:1". and then nothing worked. like no cell reception and wifi wouldn't allow me to turn it on. So from there i got the new firmware from a reputable place, and reinstalled it. Now everything works again, but not sure if i can still root and unlock from this point.
Edit: Yes it is the SM-G730w8, also cant really find a direct answer for "bootloader rp swrev:1" any help with that would be great.
Just toot with towelroot check general section or Google worked perfectly on my g730w8

Thank you. I now have a rooted S3 Mini on Kitkat Original rom. Only one question left, how do you get it unlocked from this point, as i want to use it with a different carrier than original. I has been a while since ive done anything on these newer models of Android and there is just way too many models for this cell. Ive done it before were you get the bml5.img but i cant seem to get it on here. I havent tried any other way yet, and everything looks legit up to this point. Thanks again for the help.
