Verizon Galaxy Note 3 - Accessing Hidden Menus

I had run into this issue previously and thought this might help those who are looking to punch in these codes and check out the hidden menus.
First off, I am on a Verizon Note 3 and I'm rooted.
By default, Verizon does not enable the hidden menus. In order to enable them, you'll have to use Root Explorer or Root Browser in ROM Toolbox and navigate to /efs/carrier. Then you'll want to edit the HiddenMenu file so that it says ON instead of OFF. Make sure you use capital letters.
After that, reboot, and you should be able to start punching in codes from your dialer.
Here's a link to more codes that may work for your handset: http://rumorscity.com/2013/09/26/samsung-galaxy-note-3-secret-codes/

On a side note, anyone ever use the Self Test hidden menu and try the Melody/Speaker test? What song is that...?

D802 getting 4g to work

Heya.
Recently some networks in my country started supporting lte. Anyway i tried enabling it on my phone:
I tried those 2 numbers:
*#*#4633#*#*
3845#*802#
In both of them I can change the setting and I see its working, but when I go to mobile network settings it gets reset and the option is not shown there. I can actually see the network H sign disappearing+reappearing when I go to the settings...
I tried restarting the phone, no help.
How can I get my settings to not reset each time?
Thanks!

If you have root go into system/app and first back up and then delete lteconfigs apk and lteconfigs odex and that should make lte an option in settings

Hey, thanks for replying.
I see the lteconfigs.apk but not the lteconfigs.odex there
[edit]
I deleted just the apk and the option appeared as you stated. Is it enough?

[Q] How to fix "SIM Card is from an unknown source"

Hello,
I have recently purchased a Galaxy s5 in USA.
It's a unlocked version and I just noticed that I get an error that says "SIM Card is from an unknown source",
Even though my SIM works fine I still get that error, probably because its Verizon's version.
Now my question is how do I fix it ? I read around and it seems like I have to change the name of the following app?
"vzwphoneservice.apk" to "vzwphoneservice.apk.bak"
-Located at System/priv-app ?
Now I tried finding this specific file and I couldn't.
However, I have another file named VZWAPNService.apk but once I try to change the name of it I get an error that says "Access Denied"
Thank you.

anyone?

have u got root ?

You have to root the device to do this.
If your device has been rooted, you should grant root permission for the file explorer app that you used to rename the system file.

Did you grant root permission for the app?
You can use ES File Explorer app, open Menu > Tools > Root Explorer = ON, then try again.

I'm able to edit it with ES Fie explorer now but like I said I can't find the following file :
"vzwphoneservice.apk"
I tried changing the other files names I got here but (all the ones that start with VZ) but nothing helped so I changed their names back..
any idea what file is it ?

Can you show the screenshot when you get that error message?
In order to get to know this error message comes from what app, try the following:
Install Shortcut Master app, open Menu > Capture Shortcut > Manually Capture. When the error message is being shown, scroll down the notification bar, tap on the 'Capture Shortcut' and show me what you get?

Hello, so I tried using shorcut master like you suggested.. I couldn't really find the information you wanted..
But here's a screenshot of that notification : http://i.hizliresim.com/R6oq9R.png
However, I found out that it has something to do with "setup wizard", I clicked on "force stop" (once you hold your finger on that notification you can click app info, then it takes you to setup wizard)
AND suddenly, this notification disappeared but I also found out that it'll pop up again on my notifications once I restart my phone.

Anyone

OK I've found this workaround. Hope this help.
- Install App Disabler: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nebkat.appdisabler
- Run the app and find the list for Verizon Setup Wizard. Disable that app.

Thank you so much, it worked =)
But just out of curiosity, there's nothing to be worried about right? I don't want to see that some feature in my phone got disabled because of that.
All I want is to get rid of this message and that's it, its perfect.

I'm not sure, but this method has been reported working fine. Anyway it is more safer than renaming the file, as you wanted to do. And you can always enable it again if need.
Just curiously, is your phone fully unlocked?
Can you install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > scroll down to 7465625 and tap to launch?
(7465625 is a secret code for checking SIM LOCK).
Thanks.

I guess it is, I bought it in USA like I said.. I'm not from US.
I inserted my SIM and I'm able to call whoever I want like I could in my previous phone.
About this app, what I'm supposed to do exactly? I clicked on launch and nothing really happened

If you have root, just open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > scroll down to *#27663368378# for Service Main Menu or *#197328640# for Debug Screen. Tap and select "Launch 0' to launch.
If you don't have root, open Dialer, enter *#0011#, Menu > Back item (not Back key), Menu > Key Input > Q0, wait some seconds...
maybe
download this app scroll to the bottom click additional info then phone information then scroll to the middle of the page on drop down box and try one of the settings im not on a gsm carrier so im not sure which one
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cc.signalinfo&hl=en

*#0011#
Menu>Back
Menu>Input>Q
Menu>Input>0000 wait some seconds and Hello service menu )

Before hand i am very sorry that I bump an old thread however, this pertains to this and i can't find any info on my current issue and following you has got me the farthest along with my problem.
My galaxy note 4 reads no service, so I tried the *#0011# approach (no root) could not find the menu, with the input method
Then I rooted it and used your app and was now able to access the menu.
However I still can not find the run ping test option.
My firmware is version 5.1.1
Model: SM-N910T

I am trying to fix it so my phone no longer reads No service, It seems like the fix is to go into service menu and run a ping test from basic info, but thats just what i have read in other forums.

No hotspot on ATT Unlocked LG G6

Hello guys,
Im a bit desperate, when I try to enable mobile hotspot on my ATT Unlocked LG G6 (H871) it says auth failed and just won't share internet connection not thru wifi nor USB cable.
Please I will really appreciate your help, I need to work with my computer all the time using this function.
Thank you

An 871 may be carrier-unlocked, but it is not bootloader-unlocked. You can't root or install a different ROM, so you're stuck with AT&T's stock ROM; and if they don't have hotspot enabled in their build, there's nothing you can do about it as far as I know. Chances are their build is still trying to phone home to the carrier to check if you have hotspot in your data plan.

There are a bunch of third party tethering apps in Play Store, maybe you should try one of those.

Just had this same issue and found a solution, check the settings database editor mentioned here, as it worked on my at&t unlocked g6

Good to know.

1. Download "Settings Database Editor" at the playstore. The icon is a blue cog with red background.
2. Make sure youre in the "settings table" list
3. Find "tether_entitlement_check_state" then set it to "0".
Exit, should be working, if not, try a reboot.
