I see that the international s2 is able to use the samsungdive.com services (tracking, locking, and wiping lost or stolen samsung products), but ours are not able to. I am assuming AT&T has something to do with this and asked Samsung to remove it from the phone in order to force us to use AT&T's find my phone and family features. I think they cost extra too.
I am frustrated to say the least that my buddy at work is able to access these features on his international s2 as am I on my Galaxy Tab 10.1.
I tried to remove the 'Samsung account 1.0' from my tab 10.1 and restore it on my s2 but was unsuccessful in getting it to work. Anyone else want to take a stab at this? If you sucessfully enable it, there should be an option under location and security that opens up called, "remote services".
Good luck!
You really need to "Rethink Possible." Just another "enhancement" brought to you by your favorite wireless company.
Agreed.

Hi guys,
I am a noob here, but i know a little! i have a SGH-I717 and i cannot unlock it, i know i can do it through cellunlocker and sites like that but i wana do it without paying any money!
I've rooted the device thanks to Da_G and installed superuser and busybox, tried the galaxy s unlock app but it doesnt work, it gives an error when trying to save in step 1, so i tried locating the efs folder myself and i did, but i cant find the file nv_data.bin, does that file get created when i insert an at&t sim? i dont have one and i am not in the country now!
please any help with this is appreciated, i am dying to use the device and i cant, my flash counter is at 15 now i think and still i cant reach anything!
thanks
Is all the aggravation really worth it? If I were you, I would just pay the 5-20 bucks, then enjoy the phone the way god intended it....functionally!!

Its so frustrating, and after doing all this and spending that much time i just cant give up now
So i guess no one has done it?
I have also tried to unlock it for free and nothing has worked so far. I guess the galaxy s unlocker app by helroz doesnt work since there is no NV_data.bin in the efs folder. I manually tried looking for it but no luck.
I've also paid cellunlock my $20 two days ago and no code yet. I'm kinda frustrated that can't use this phone.
If anyone knows where I can unlock this phone, even website, let me know please. Cheapest option of course.

Sent from my phonablet AT&T Galaxy Note - please forgive if typos
This is how to unlock via AT&T
Guys if you are with AT&T then don't bother with any of those methods to unlock. It's quite easy actually. Just call AT&T and let them you know that you will be traveling and need to unlock the phone to use foreign sims. They will ask you for the phones IMEI number then provide you with an unlock code. You then power up your device with any foreign sim (any other than AT&T will work), it will ask you for code, you enter it, and done. Your device is now unlocked and free to use with any GSM chip. Have done it with our 4 phones 2 GS2 and 2 GS Notes.
I don't think your allowed to most external links to Ebay, pretty sure it's against the rules.
If you go to Ebay and search the seller name it should come up...
Not sure if it works for at&t, mine is Rogers, and Canadian carriers do not give out lock codes for free, no matter how long you have been with them.

Why can't all oems just do what Google (galaxy nexus) did with the bootloader? Just have a menu that says "Do u want to void warranty and unlock bootloader?". It wud make life easier.

At&t wont provide unlock codes for certain phone like: the Iphone or the Skyrocket. And the Galaxy note is probably on that list (cant unlock)

The bootloader is unlocked, this has nothing to do with the bootloader.
This is a carrier unlock...

I just tried calling tech support. They were more than willing to provide the unlock code...however, according to the tech support rep, their system cannot locate/generate the unlock code for the Note.
Did you run into this problem as well?

Unlock SG i747
I'm also in the exact same boat, has anyone been able to figure out how to unlock this phone? I have mine rooted too and I REALLY don't want to pay at least $30 to unlock a phone!
Why dont u call the carrier?
i got my bell s3 and have to pay to unlock it..i think about 32.99usd and it works for my fido network! pm me for the site if u want it!
widow
I contacted bell, It's 75 dollars to unlock and yes I know about websites where you can unlock for 30 dollars but I just spent a ton of money on a new phone, case and sd card so I'm not really keen on spending another thirty dollars
finally submitted to using an unlocking website and used unlockclient. com it's the cheapest I found for only 25 USD and really works. You can use paypal to make the transaction.
sold mine.
Better buying the real Galaxy S3 i9300 unlocked rather spending 25$ on the north american dual core one
Selling
How much did yours sell for? And how much did you buy your quad core phone for? I feel like it would be too much hassle and I would end up losing money in the process.
There's no way to do it without some stupid code thing or paying any money, like the way you can do it on the iPhone?

As you guys know or should know the Galaxy Note II is considered a smart phone on Verizon's network. They charge a $40 Monthly Line Access Per Device. I have de-activated my call/text and get data only at a data only rate plus smartphone fee. ie $40 (smartphone) + $60 (10GB) Share Everything Options for Data Devices vs having $40 (smartphone) + $100 (10GB) Unlimited Talk & Text + Shared Data . So that being said I was wondering If some one could show me how to change my device id, model number, baseband, or hardware number. What ever they look at to identify my device as Galaxy Note II. I like to change it to CLONE it into "Verizon Tablet Device" if you will. In case you still dont get what i would like to see solved its that I want Verizon to recognize my Galaxy Note II as a current available tablet on there plans. ie display to Verizon that my phone "is" a Galaxy Note 10.1, Galaxy Tab, etc I think you get the picture. I only need the data and gps to work if thats even relevant. I know it can be done. Its XDA after all Thanks guys ahead of time!

I don't know much about modifying the low level stuff, but couldn't you just get a SIM card activated for a tablet and put that in the Note II? I've never done it, but I have heard that people have swapped SIMs between phones and jetpacks/tablets all the time to us unlimited data on other devices. Maybe that would work here too? Again, not too knowledgeable here, just throwing that lead out there...
Edit your build.prop, I would imagine. Replace all references to the Note 2 to the Note 10.1 tablet, or whatever that thing is called.
I am not responsible.

That are going off the MEID from their master database, so you'd have to change that (which isn't discussed here since it's illegal).

I don't believe swapping the sim won't solve the issue. I think they know what device is being used unless the device is branded into the sim which I highly doubt but thanks.

You're correct it won't work. Verizon and all carriers for that matter identify the device being used by the imei. So to do what the OP wants requires changing the imei. Which as mentioned is illegal and can't be discussed on xda.

So i have tried numerous methods for getting my MSL. I have tried through Terminal Emulator, and I have tried by using Get My MSL, hitting ##DATA# entering 6 0's then trying Get My MSL again and no luck. Has anyone had any success getting their MSL for their Sprint Galaxy Note 3? IM guessing that its similar for a GS4 and getprop .ril.MSL just doesnt work on this device even tho my GN3 is Rooted.
I got mine by asking the sales rep at time of purchase for the activation code in case anything happens.
Lol yeahh lil late for that now xD.
Anyone have anything else other than just calling and asking for it straight up?
Just call Sprint and ask for it. Or ask for it on their online chat. You'll get thrown around to different people until someone finally knows what you're talking about and gives it to you. At least that's what I did.
Call tech support and tell them you're a developer.
First call, first person.

Same problem here ....i buyed note 3 at full price....they only give me spc code if phone its activated with sprint ....the main reason i buyed at full price its cuz i want to be flashed to another cdma carrier....so anychanse to get msl or spc code ??
Activate a different phone online, then switch back to the Note 3. Your MSL should be listed in one if the steps.

So no luck any other way so far, I resolved this by using sprint online chat cuz i hate calling. The girl gave me my MSL & MSID no questions asked. Hope this helps.

I by no means am any kind of expert, if i had to guess maybe the MSL is stored differently now? looks like we will have to wait for a developer to figure this out. In the meantime if you did activate through sprint your best bet is probably to use thier online chat service and ask. Thanks for all the input though guys and good luck.

Thata the problem i buyed at full price and didnt not activated with sprint
called sprint this morning as all known methods of pulling from phone failed.
what i asked for was the 6 digit code / MSL because I was a developer and had no issues. less then a 5 min call.

yes activated on sprint? where did you buy? shouldn't they have a record of the code?
Even though you didn't have it activated through sprint, it might be worth the call to see if you can get it through them. Telling them you're a developer, or you need the activation code or you're trying to restore your phone and the phone asked for a 6 digit msl number. All have worked for me in the past.
here comes a dumb question......but what can you do with it? I have the 6 digit MSL codes for both my Note 2 and Note 3.......
