Hello,
I've just installed the leaked 4.1.2 JB ROM.
The phone boots up but it is asking me for "sim network unlock pin".
I know for a fact that my phone is not locked. I purchased it from a private store and had installed 2.3.5, 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 stock ROMs of different carriers.
I even switched between two different carriers without a problem.
Any idea what I can do?
Someone told me it might be the modem file that is "confused"? Has that got anything to do with it?
Thank you for your help!

Try to search the main thread, a few mentioned solution there. Didn't pay attention to the solution so not sure what it was, but I think it was an app from the store.

Thanks for replying. Most apps require root. I'm not a noob but still not an expert. Any ideas on how I get root access?
Or look at the thread about being stuck with sim lock. It is pretty active and here in general.

By the way, If I go back to ICS, installing the original carrier ROM. Will be phone still be locked?

You can get root by flashing Philz kernel for recovery. It can be flashed through stock recovery.
Not sure about rollback to ICS, but my guess it that it'll work since the problem is caused by software

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I'm sorry. I guess I'm a bit excited.
At first, I was a nervous wreck. I actually thought I'm never going to unlock my phone and that I've screwed things up.
It didn't help when I rolled back to ICS and the "SIM network unlock pin" appeared either.
Eventually, I downloaded an app and paid about 2.5$ to have it unlocked.
Then, I decided to try installing JB one more time and now it works and everything is working smoothly!
Can't thank you enough.
Thank you for your kind help!

You don't have "only use 2g" checked in mobile network settings..? If not, contact your provider. Maybe your simcard is borked / needs to be upgraded?
Rooting your phone doesn't have anything to do with the data connection.
Flash the .48 radio again if anything. If its not working, it your fault not your phones.

Did you just install 4.2.2? Because 4.2.2 3G is partially (but not completely) broken.

Hi All,
I just got my Galaxy S4 GT-I9507 (optus AU) and noticed there is not much reference to it here.
Does anyone know if the guides for root, flashing etc are compatible with this model and if there are any limitations on loading a custom rom?
Thanks

I just received my 9507 this morning from Virgin (AU) (who use Optus network) as a replacement for my dead screen 9505.
Any luck with digging up more information? Have you tried flashing?

Anyone? Is there no root for the Galaxy S4 i9507? Would it work through Odin like it would i9505 as it has the same chipset?
Since no one replied, I decided to take a risk. I was able to root my i9507 with the CF-ROOT made for i9505. I will also risk installing a custom rom and get back to you with an update!
Yeh saw that post...
Did anyone else try it?

Everything runs well, no issues.

What method did you use to root and install a custom recovery?
I'n trying to flash the cf auto chainfire using odin, but i'm being told off for there being no PIT file supposedly.
EDIT: Disregard that, the issue appears to be that I had my cable plugged into a USB 3.0 port.
Flashing any modem on this variant is next to impossible.
Flashing roms is fine, but i can't seem to flash any modems lol.
Same here all 4.4 roms lose signal as soon as I out the device to sleep. I need to reboot to get optus coverage again. I could not flash any modem. I think we need a 4.3 compatible modem to come out for the 9507

Hi,
I have been playing around with a few Roms some work most don't, The signal loss can be temp fixed by putting the mobile into Aircraft mode or turning off the data then re starting the programs.
Hopefully our i9507 Modem problem will be fixed soon (with the help of the genius`s on this forum)
I just received my I9507 today, it updated to 4.3 when I connected it to my WiFi.
I enabled Developer options by tapping on the build number...
I want to root it, but haven't tried anything else yet...

Are you getting the data dropouts like others stated?
Really want to root my gt-i9597 but worried the aus band will get lost ect.
Also what about knox or whatever that voids your warranty is there any way around that?

Hi
Tried some kit kat roms a while ago and had dropouts so I updated to stock JB.... 4.3. I haven't noticed any drop-outs since.
Knox is a hardware level issue. It cannot be reset and it will void your warranty. What I understand is that once
your phone is rooted the knox displayed when entering download mode goes from 0*1. Have a look at this thread to explain knox.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577856
And previous post for how to root...... Im assuming a typo i9597 is i9507
If you use a smart dock >>>I've had some issues with cpu temps and charging when docked in the smart dock.
cpu temps have been excess of 80c and not charging when the charge icon is displayed.
I used an aftermarket usb charger from jaycar and removed a usb extension cable to try to minimises voltage drop.
And also removed a heap of bloatware with android tuner. So far so good.
Thanks for heads with the thread replies Fella's, Thought I'd be stuck out in the world, with a a standard 4G samsung phone.. Eeeek!
Thanks for GTi9505 CF Root via odin... Couldnt be easier, and something in the setup reported it had disabled knox Too!
This Custom recovery worked for me!

I have the same problem, it's a buh in ROM, we should wait an update from LG
Same problem here, what rom version r u using? If i'm not mistaken someone here said that 30b fix the hotspot issue. By the way, i'm using 30a.

I'm using rom SEA 30a, on 30b the hotspot issue is solved but the GPS works really bad on my phone, so I prefer a working GPS so I will stay on 30a.
I'm v30b and was having a similar problem. However it was due to my carrier not allowing tethering. I was able to make a hotspot and devices connect but with no internet connectivity.
This solved it for me ------------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/lollipop-tethering-t3058923 . Yours might be a different problem but worth a try!

I purchased this phone 11 months ago and have yet to receive one single security update, much less an actual update. I am using the at&t variant (V350AWM) purchased directly from at&t with an AT&T sim card. I have factory reset the phone multiple times, I have attempted to use lg bridge to update (give an error every time. Yes I have tried different cables.) I'm at a loss. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Well, it still should be under the warranty, you should be able to get it replaced by AT&T. If you don't want to get a swap, then perhaps you can consider cross flashing it with the ULM firmware?

I had the same problem. I downloaded the Amazon based firmware. I just googled around for it.latrst version was out there. It updated my phone and removed the att bloatware that was killing my battery. I am on T-Mobile and now everything works including wifi calling and HD voice.

Does your phone still holding the SN and IMEI? can you post a quick guide for the flashing procedure ?, I have the same problem and I need to get latest updates.
