Hi guys , i purchased one SGS II brand new from someone.
My problem is , i want to flash the original firmware but i dont know wich is it.
The phone it's not from my country , some guy bring like 100 pieces from somewhere else.. i dont know where , all of them brand new.
All the phone's came without the sticker under the battery they probably removed it or i dont know. it's clean like it never got one. the phone imes is :
004999010640000.
Please , help me find the original ROM.
(sry for my english guys )
when i search for IMEI on the google , i get : http://www.google.ro/#hl=ro&gs_nf=1....,cf.osb&fp=4df3673aa6490ab3&biw=1920&bih=976
WTF!? , is there any way to find out the original ROM?
It's quite obviously stolen.

Indeed it is, are alarm bells not ringing when you search the IMEI number. To be fair sir, you have been diddled :/
i dont really care if it's stolen or not it's mine for like 4-5 months.. i would like some help finding out who made him , and after that finding the original ROM.. i dont know how can i start ;(
There should be a white round sticker on the circuit board that will say something like KH3 or whatever the original was. You will have to take the phone apart to get to it. Thats the only way i know to check original firmware. If its stolen then i doubt it will be there but you can still.check if you want.
Read the rules regarding not getting XDA into trouble, changing IMEI is illegal in many countries so not up for discussion.

Is there any sim unlocking solution on my xda atom pure? i been asking everyone but, i think everybody likes to IGNORE a "NEWBIE" in this forum. or atleast can somebody tell me that someone is working on a unlocking tool... i dont tend to be mean of something its just that im so pissed that everyone is ignoring me!
Because you're asking for a sim unlocking solution. You must be from Turkey, but I'm afraid it isn't allowed here...
Also, bear in mind that most of us got our Atoms unadulterated. Even me. BE PATIENT. NOBODY HERE IS GOD, INCLUDING YOU.
why cant you just reflash the firmware?
how sir?! whatdo you mean by reflashing the frimware? i installed the custom firmware that is available in this forum but still no luck. my phone is still not unlocked.
Check whether below link helps.

It says "this model can't be unlocked" on the very first line. <_<
In any case, if they give you access to the bootloader, flashing your unit just MIGHT work. However, I have no garuntees. I've seen far too many people here with junked Atoms, and before Jiggs's ROM I lived with an unstable hacked Atom Exec ROM.
If you still want to try, tho, I heartily recommend Jigg's ROM. If it works, good for you. I don't like flashing locked devices because god knows what else is locked...

Hi guy
I don't thing this forum would like to ignore the question from newbie . For your problem I don't thing ATOM got any sim lock , the reason is your network provider they maybe lock your sim to prevent anybody who haven't buy the mobile from their supplier to protect the profit . It seems my friends who come from Egypt he brought a phone from HK (use the HK local sim is OK)however he can't be use after back to his country (due to use the eygpt locate sim ) .
Finally I think you better contact some local mobile company they may help you to solve.

Agreed with ericj
For my case in singapore you just hav to call the mobile company you are using and they will give u the code to unlock. More or less confirm its not an issue with your atom
Cheer!!

Forum Untold Rule
I think it is normal for an unknown question to be ignored in any forum. It is not because you're newbie... it is simply because no one knows, or it has been answered before. When this happens, googling, and googling, and googling is all you can do.
I have been asking, and asking, and asking on different threads, too, and I also experience being ignored as well. BUT after thorough searching, you'll get to somewhere...
Besides, this section of the forum doesn't have a moderator; so, you should expect not to be answered immediately. I believe, most people who are present are here for one reason alone - ATOM UPGRADING.
Then you should realize that you can not expect someone else to do the searching for you because the members/viewers present are here for different reason.
so... in the bottom line there's no way that my cellphone will be unlocked?
so anyone working on a unlcoking solution? Iphone now a days can be unlcoked, and Atom has been in the market for 2 years now... and still no one has done a unlocking solution? GOD please help me!
one good question is, although we know that if the phone can be use with other sim is unlocked, we can just do this even if it's not with wm os, but, is there a software we can use to find out if our phone is unlocked or locked? don't mean to be stupid though, just wanted to make sure if there is one.......
meanwhile, i will try to search an answer to my question, but i will wait for your answers guys....
Hi friends I have one htc p3600, someone can modify IMEI
Tks
Never ever think about it.....
it's never been done before & it never ever can't be done.
it's impossible.
simply impossible.
There are somethings in this world, that a man can never change.
IMEI is one of them.
Go check out development and hacking section there must be a very old topic about this ...........
Hi guys, I think we should have a separate section here so that we could share our experiences with this particular model...I am very sorry if I pissed off any moderators here but since there are no threads regarding this model I felt like I had to do it
I wanna start by telling you that I bought this model for 550$ from Seoul just a week ago and I am very happy. Actually my aim was to get Samsung Galaxy S 3 but I missed it by a week But then saw this phone and said lets give it a try. And guess what , I am more than impressed Anyways after checking couple of forums I saw that official ICS Package was out I upgraded it and then rooted by the help of this forum. Definitely better performance and nice tweaks. But this came with one small issue ; sms problem. when there is an incoming SMS it says "No Caller ID" . Again after little bit googling I found the app called Handcent and it did the trick. Until an international or custom Rom comes out this could be the solution I suppose
One of the biggest differences of the Korean version is you cant go in to the secret menus by typing the secret codes in to the keypad so that caused some trouble while looking for the imei number and trying to change the SMSC ...
Lets share our experiences here so that anyone who has this version can find it here without too much hustle...

shows it to be basically a ATT type Note....... so other than country specific software quirks........ it is just a 717 note...... I will leave open for now but I think this will not go far, since there are not a lot of Korean Note user to interact with........... If you could please root your phone and provide a sys-dump and kernel and modem extraction would be very helpful to the community....
Thanks Oka1

I already investigated , the blocks dont seem to be the same , the kernel is not the same either , probably needs to be reoriented or somethign and the usr key layout (obviously) needs to be changed . so with a modified updater script and proper kernel by flashing only system it *should work*
Why is this in the development thread? Rom/Mods/Modems only from what I am aware of.

Why don't you just make a bounty thread? If money is involved maybe it might convince a dev to try cooking up a rom and making a custom kernel. It is always nice to get free development but money can motivate people. Put up some money and I am sure others will too and see if you can't get it done. I have seen lots of other threads on your model and I know everyone with your device wants it badly. Its worth a try anyway.
So if I was to unlock my i717 and took it to Korea it would work with their service providers? :s

hi
hi people, i use this korean model as well.
I am new to android (in fact, started 2 months ago) and not a native english speaker. So, i'm having a lot trouble with some technical words u guys use.
The thing is, i'm thinking of rooting my phone. but there arent much forums and threads on this model. I was wondering if the rooting guides here would work on my phone? and there are so many of em (also for i717...) ...
SOOooo, if possible could you quote the rooting guide (or link to thread) which will definitely work on my phone. i cant afford to make my phone obsolete
Help is much appreciated. Thanks
(btw, i'm from Mongolia. heya, fellow earthlings... haha)
Korean devs are at androidpub and matpclub, but not really serious development is there. Few kernel devs like tegrak and mostly cosmetic/porting from International ROM.
Korean note have 32GB/64GB variety, three diffrent carrier (SKT: HSPA+2100 LTE800/1800, KT: HSPA+2100 LTE1800, LGU: CDMArev.B1800 LTE800), hardware button, DMB, carrier specific addon plugins and frameworks, and pink note
and SHV-E160L for LGU, which is CDMA only(like Verizon). Pretty sure ATT note ROMs are not portable.

Reported for taking the discussion off topic.
Why would you even tell him? Better yet...why care? At least he started one thread for a whole model, to discuss all parts. He could be proliferating. Lets be nice here.
When there was no i717 forum, people discussed it in the Int. forum.
The i717R is discussed here...even though the forum is titled "AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717" as it should be.
Be easy on him. This is good for a chat, and it's about as close to the right place as it gets. He was honest about the fact that he knew there was no other place, and he was nice.
And his specific version has LTE and is powered by a snapdragon. So perhaps this truely is as good as it gets on XDA.

It'd be cool if you could post some pictures and do a hardware impressions review.
Thanks for understanding guys. That is the xda spirit that we seek here is the first quadrant standart benchmark that I had.

hidden menu !!!
I was searching for an answer for my sms problem and I found out an answer for something else. I was not able to enter any secret codes for the system menus before now it turns out that there is a hidden menu placed by the korean network which you can enter by typing 319 712 358 and then when it asks fr the password you type 0821 and Vala! You have access to the system settings now.
Now here is the question I can not make a video call because my LTE/3G server dns is a korean server address. Does anybody know where I could find the network server dns addresses for the Gsm Networks...
i broke my e160s menu and back button by flashing i717 kernel. i was able to flash cwm and i717 roms but orientation and those buttons are not working. flashing back original kernel and firmware didnt restore those buttons. i could get the phone back working without those buttons. but now i have to use another app to trigger those buttons.

Hi , as far as I know you can unbrick or recover your phone from any kind of situation. They have released the tool to do that. I can not post another forum's link here so just check the chinese version xda which is koxda and use google translate. You can find a lot of info there but it is hard to understand because of the translation. So actually that is the main reason I started this thread...
Im Glad man that youve open this threat for us.
i also use this device. Galaxy note shv-e160..UNRAZ how did you fix your sms problem? need it badly?? please
As I have wrote before in one of my posts in this thread I solved this with the free app called Handcent sms where you could download it from the market I can both send and recieve sms with no problem. But one handicap is I cant use any Turkish characters nor can exceed the 160 characters limit. Then you see the failed sending the message error... I am waiting for the update which would hopefully solve all the miseries One of the guys in this forum installed Honeycomb from the Koxda forum and solved the problem like that but I dont like using old firmware while there is an update
hi all iam sorry for wide distribution but im looking for fixing my phone nearlly a month, i saw the guides of how to convert m250s to gti 9100 and i saw alot of diffrences between them, im afried to break my phone by adding wrong files to odin.
well i am ready to pay 30 usd for someone who could solve my problem
i have m250s bought from korea running ics and its not working in israel, so all i want to know is how to turn it to gti 9100, ill upload my phone details in pics that i made. as i said im ready to pay for it.
i know how to use odin.
big thanks ahead for the helpers.
Check the general forum, there's a couple of threads about turning your device into an I9100.
And cover the IMEI number up.

I need an app or an method to know everything from my partner . I have some suspicios minds and must know . Its about samsung s6 edge rooted phone and now i want to know how can to put the phone to record voice automaticaly when somebody talk around , when the phone "hear" some voices .. start recording and when the phone didn't hear -> stop the record . Just when "hear" but without any notification or something like that . Somebody can help me ? Any method is welcome . Thanks a lot
you can install her cerberus app.but search the rooted version which is hideable.I am not responsible if something happen (not to the phone...to your relationship) I think I helped!

Use Cerberus app. If you can't trust her then you shouldn't be in relationship. If you find no evidence and she finds the app she prob kick you ass. So better method would be just to ask her straight if she lies to you. Then just move on ain't worth it.
If you are at a point in your relationship that you are so untrusting you want to log and record her cell phone usage, maybe it's time you just ended the relationship. You might think finding nothing will make everything better, but you will just dig deeper and damage the relationship until she ends it.
I've been where you are, and I will tell you from experience that if you are here one of 2 things are happening. Either she is messing around and you should end the relationship or you are a bat**** crazy control freak who isn't mature enough to be in a relationship... so either way don't go through the trouble and just break it off.
That being said, Cerberus is what your looking for

Don't even try and find out man, just end it at save yourself the hurt. Better to not know and not care than to know and feel like crap.
if I was you,I think I would watch her with such an app only if I would marry her.in other case I would try to be relaxed till I found out what kind of people is she.and dont forget that is in all women nature to try to impress us..so think logically dude but first think if you love her...
You right guys but is better for me to know is about a lot of stuff . My future is in game . We want to go in a other country to do something there and .. its a little bit complicate and i dont want to say . If somebody wanna help me is welcome i dont need teorems . Thanks . And a last question is : how can to hide this app without any application ? Have something in samsung interface ? Samsung s6 edge with root

Because those are XDA rules. Might want to look at my title.
No one here is paid. It is all volunteer.
As for explaining. You are not even remote worth explaining anything to.
This is a developers site. Made for and by developers. Not for people looking to buck the legal system.
Again read the rules. You know. The one that says not to ask for anything illegal? If reading english is an issue there are plenty of translator apps.
