I sent my imei Number 3 times to tmobile only to recieve the same code back again and again. did i change it while flashing a rom or Odin?
If you received the same code over and over again, that would indicate that it did not change
The SIM unlock code is usually generated based off the IMEI, which is a hardware ID of your phone regardless of software. So the IMEI and the SIM Unlock code should remain the same even when you have flashed a different version of the Android OS.

Are you running ji6? There is a problem that lots of people are reporting with phones that have had ji6 flashed to them even if they are no longer on ji6. There is a way around that though. But youll have to unlock it nanualy. If you are running, or have ever run ji6 just let me know and ill try to help out.

I'd be interested in knowing the manual way, if you'd be willing to share. I think my phone came with JI6 on it, though it wasn't on there for very long before I flashed Bionic Fusion.

I'm not sure they'll want to help you if your running unofficial firmware.
chances are they wont have any idea where to look either lol
do you just need to know your number?
what ROM are you guys running?
Same thing happening here. In phone status in settings the phone number says "unknown."
Running leaked JK6 stock.
Doesn't seem to be causing in problems, but it would be nice to fix it. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm using the JK6 ROM. Yeah it just wont show the phone #. I'm just worried that when the official 2.2 does come out I wont be able to get it OTA since my number doesn't show up.

you'd be better off just going back to stock firmware for an OTA update.
they have a tendency to soft brick non stock phones.
also most custom and leaked roms have OTA's disabled anyways, which gives you only two options:
1. wait for someone to make a custom rom out of the OTA and then just flash it.
2. go back to stock firmware.
either way works.

as far as I can tell, its only that rom that has that problem.
I'm running Froyo myself (Eugene's Macnut R13) and mine shows up just fine.
There was a thread on this very topic last week.
Call t mobile, tell them, they reset something, reboot your phone.
Also, this should have nothing to do with ota updates.
When you create threads, doesn't it show similar threads?
Yeah I saw the same thread. I'm gonna give them a call and I'll post back how I made out.

I gave T-Mobile a call and I talked to a person in the Android division. I told him what my problem was and he pushed a couple of things to my phone. He then told me to take out my SIM card and restart my phone. After I did all of this my phone # is still coming up as Unknown. He told me the only thing else he could think of is to get a new SIM. I asked him if my Phone # coming up Unknown will prevent me from getting any OTA updates and he said he wasn't sure. One thing I'm not sure of though is can I Odin back to JI6 or should I Flash to JDF first then JI6. I want to make sure I don't miss to Official Froyo OTA. Other than that I guess I'm screwed.

New sim card will not affect you from getting the OTA update.i had to switch sims and I got the JI6 update OTA.so dont worry
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Thanks man. I know that a new SIM wont affect OTA'S. What I'm referring to is that if my Phone # is showing Unknown in my Phone Status, will that affect me getting any Updates. Everything else on my phone is fine. I can get and receive text messages and my Caller ID is working also.

couple questions...
1. are you on t-mobile?
2. weather your on t-mobile or with someone else, is your phone unlocked?
If you guys are locked to t-mobile then you can stick your sim card in another tmobile phone (not another android phone) I've heard sony ericson's, and some samsung's work and even an unlocked iphone will do it.
then just go to my number on that phone and it will let you program your number in.
then just put it back in your android phone and it should be back.
if you are unlocked and want to do the above steps, (this is unverified and it might work just fine using another a locked phone), but just follow the steps above with an unlocked sony ericson or samsung (or probably any other non smart phone that lets you edit your own number)
If you are unlocked, and running on a different carrier using the same number you used on tmobile, call tmobile as they sometimes give trouble porting numbers to other carriers.
if all of this fails then you might need a new sim card.
some people also got tmobile to do this OTA for them, but it did not work for everyone.
Thanks. I'm on T-Mobile. The only other phone I have is a Cliq XT. I'll give it a try but its an Android. I'll try it anyway. If it doesn't work
I'll go get a new SIM Card.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm pretty certain a new SIM won't fix the problem. I played around with this and T-Mo actually told me to call Samsung to fix it. Anyway, the only thing that unknown number caused a problem for me is my Verizon Fios Remote DVR app. The app wouldn't work because it is registered to my phone number and it couldn't figure out what my number is.
I'm sure it's just the problem with JK6 itself.
I haven't had any problems at all so far. Everything seems to be working fine with this ROM. I checked out everything that I could think of that my phone number would be needed for. My caller I'd is fine, Bluetooth is working, SMS & MMS are fine also. Hopefully it's not affecting anything major. Like I said the only thing I'm concerned about is not being able to get the Official 2.2 OTA when it's finally released. If I cant I'll just Flash back to JDF then to JI6 to be able to receive it if I have to. Thanks

Do you guys even read any information or do you flash blindly?
You cannot get an OTA update with a custom rom, you'll have to flash to an official t mobile rom in order to OTA.
The missing phone number under status happens in every single JK6 rom, it's one of the known "bugs" if you can even call it that. It shouldn't affect anything at all. I've only heard of it affecting some dvr app but even then only 1 person has reported it.

yea, try the battery pull. If that doesn't work, try to odin the EC01 radio (I was told you can do that with the mez, but not sure). Also, this belongs in Q/A not development.
I've tried three different radios. None work. And I had to pull the battery several times for odin. And I posted this in development in hope of knowledgable developers seeing it.

Not to mention a reason for posting about a mesmerize problem in the fascinate forum - these guys don't use our phone so may not be able to help you
On a side note, this might be worth a shot, if not you'll need to flash a full stock build with odin with re-partition checked to make sure your phone is completely re-formatted;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InN-Z340BO0
Either way, if you need to continue - post this in the mesmerize general forum (and only there).
Before you do all that try doing a simple ESN swap. Do a forum search right here in the Fascinate forums. A lot of people lost their 3G data when flashing ED01 Froyo. If you have the same problem myself and most of us had then flashing other radios and roms won't do a damn thing but make you mad.

I ran into this same problem, I also have the Mes...here is what I did to fix, In Odin, I flashed the EC10 stock for the Mes, aqnd I checked the boxes "re-partition" and "EFS Clear", when I rebooted, I had signal (no 3g and couldnt make calls" but I used *228 and it re activated my phone, bingo, 3g back.
Basically what I did was remove ALL information on the phone, which included the MIN and MDN so when I re activated it and activated my data again.
You should try to hook your phone, up in qpst service painting and enter your info for the mez in the ppp tab

Stick a different carrier sim card into the phone and it should still prompt you to unlock it regardless of ROM.
I am not stating this as fact but that has been my experience unlocking phones. Reverting to stock may be required.
I was told that on an other thread which seemed seemed odd at the time but decided to ask anyways
I'll do just that thanks man

I said that about stock. cellphoneunlocker.net said stock. The remote guy doesn't say stock, but he asks you to type in some dialer codes to see if you are stock-ish. At&t expects stock.
Like Flapjaxxx said, before you do anything try another carrier's sim and see if the network control screen is what you see at booting. If you do, good. Enter the code and enjoy.
Several users of non-stock roms said they never got the network control screen when they booted, but they got a status alert saying incorrect sim, so they tried to enter the code in the dialer but the phone stayed locked. So they went to stock and got it done.
Try it and see. You can't break anything. And sorry if you feel I was misinforming anyone. I always try to give the safest answer I can.
no prob that's why I asked

I have an Note i717M from Bell Canada that I have unlocked and using t-mobile radios to work with Wind.
For the last two weeks I had nothing but great reception and no black outs. I recently installed Black Star since I tried that ROM I have had almost no connection. I re-flashed ICS Blaze radio which I was using on Stock and CM10 with no issues.
Now no matter what ROM I flash I can't get connected for more then two minutes.
Not sure if anyone can think of anything that might cause this.
I am convinced it's not the radio because it works with my rogers account just fine when I flash the stock radio back to the phone.
Also I can connect to Wind Away on the stock radio no problem and stay connected with full bars.
Could it be the kernel?
Got it working I had to do the full flash in odin each of the partitions. Something must have been corrupted pretty bad. As soon as i flashed all the stock partitions and booted up and got the ics ota. Flashed icsblaze and back to full connectivity.
Sent from my SGH-I717M using xda app-developers app
It sounds like you just needed to add the right APN settings to the rom for it to work. If you decide to try blackstar again makesure to copy down your APN settings you are currently using.

Yeah I went back to bone stock.
Here is the funny thing I have 2 notes, 1 rogers, 1 bell. When I use the rogers phone on darkstar absolutely no issues.
The bell version, it completely knocks out the AWS radio that I use and I am not able to restore it for some reason.
I had to reflash all the partitions to restore it. Tried 3 times same result on the bell version.
Wonder what's different in the i717M vs the i717R

Unless you have a keen understanding of how to partition a device, dont try.
Rather, use Odin or kies to push the factory image to the device, and let it run the partition mapping for you. Otherwise, you can damage the device and brick yourself.
Read up on all things note, in the general section at the top. Use the "super thread" and find the issue you are looking for.
Also, you can general search for the answers, as they are covered in many threads in this section.....g
