Hi
My cousine bought a new Samsung Galaxy s Anycall for 2 weeks ago. He is only 12 and obviously very keen on trying things, so he decided to upgrade his firmware. What i think he did wrong is to use the wrong firmware. If i understand the Sticky threads and Faqs on this forum correctly, then Anycall has a different firmware then the regular Samsung Galaxy S (correct me if i am wrong). Anyhow, the result is that the phone boots, loads the Samsung logo and then loads the Android Green logo, and just stays there. After attempting to flash the phone with Odin and a firmware suggested by one of the guides n this forum, it now boots into a window where it says something like UPGRADE and something else in chinese or korean. I would appritiate if someone could give me a link to a propar guide on how to get my cousines cell phone up and running again.
Common guys, nobody can answer?
Did u try flashing a kernal.

For example : I f**ed my phone by upgrading to ics and flashing a Gingerbread kernel ( no touch screen response) , also when I had my sgs vibrant you have to look at The first 3 letters in the baseband I think mine was uvk, match that up with roms and kernels. through trial and error I final got it right

I'm guessing it won't work since to the right of the page it says select your device and the L720 isn't listed.

I see you posting all over the forums trying to unlock this phone. Can I ask why did you buy a U.S. Sprint phone if you want to use a unlocked phone? And where are you trying to use it?

I am trying to get my phone unlocked through cellunlocker.net and it asks for my model number. I have the At&t S4 1337 model, but since I installed a custom rom, in the device settings it shows that my model is GT - I9505. So which one is really my model number now?
Thx

Have you tried the free unlock method?
Sent from my WICKED AT&T S4
Ya I have tried but since I don't have another provider's sim card right now I can't see if it works. I've went through the process 2 times just to check it out and both times restarted fine, but on the 3rd time it says that there is no back ups so I don't know if it works anymore.

Yes u can unlock it for free but you are going to risk breaking it described here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285431&page=45
Quoted Text By "scott14719":
Service provider gives a code. The phone asks for the code to be entered when it detects a sim from a different carrier. If the phones owner didn't screw something up via the "free method", the code is taken and the phone is sim unlocked.
The "free method" involves using the service menu to restore a previous version of the phones software (NV memory) that sometimes includes an unlocked modem. It works for some. The problem is, no one seems to know exactly what is on each phones backed up NV memory. Sometimes it just doesn't work (no other damage), sometimes it doesn't work but also caused the carriers unlock code not to work (need to USB unlock at that point), and sometimes it doesn't work and major screws the phone in the process. In this case, people have reported highly diminished signal, or unrecognized sims even with their own original sim card.

Just call your carrier and trek then your traveling overseas and would like the unlock code. In most cases they'll give it to you. For free!
Tried that guide and it did not work! Still get the sim unlock code message. Also the carrier is rogers so it cost $50 to get the unlock code lol

Why go through Rogers to unlock it? Way cheaper if you use cellunlock.net or cellunlocker.net

Easiest way to unlock it is to downgrade to 4.2.2 and then run RegionLock Away. Once you're done you can upgrade again and it'll remain unlocked.
I have a 5.0.1 rom, can I downgrade to 4.2.2? also, is that the correct version? I've been looking for unlock codes, but I can only find for the international version.

You can't downgrade to 4.2.2 from 5.01. Flash the 4.2.2 modem, root, run regionlockaway, flash back to 5.01 modem, i747m should be network unlocked.

mine is am i337m Distributed by Telcel Mexico, are the instructions right? (flash 4.2.2 modem and stuff)?
Already rooted with Auto CF ROOT, installed TWRP (jfltecan), so I'm pretty sure the model is correct.
I bought this unlocked international note 4 with a plan to root it....
However it has already been rooted....
I have ATT for service. The person I got it from had T-Mobile.
When I put my sim in and start it up I can make calls and send text as well as even get online
The problems are as follows:
1. It does not stay connected to the ATT network, I have to repeatedly hit send over and over till it finally makes the call... The same goes for text and the internet...
2. When I made the attempt to re-root the whole thing (mind you I am new to all this rooting...this would only be my second time doing so) I found after downloading all the software needed to do so.... I began to follow the steps provided here on XDA, when I tried to boot with the volume, center, and power key the menu is in Chinese sooooooo
........ So now I'm at a complete loss... I do not know what to do
Please tell me that one of you geniuses out there can help me solve this dilemma.....
I was hoping that just re-rooting this phone would solve my problems........
Thank you guys
