My T-Mobile Tab is unlocked?

This is very strange, i was reading the following thread on how to Network Unlock the tab, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838424, and i decided to enter *#7465625# as stated on the thread to to see what would come up and to amazement it says that my tab is network unlocked. Now how could that be, i have not gotten an unlock code from T-Mobile and i tried to use the guide posted by Rotohammer, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843323, using Terminal Emulator, since i don't have ADB, but then i ended up with an error message halfway through entering the code so i didn't bother to retry and just decided to wait the 90 days to get the code from T-Mobile. I would need to get my hands on a non-t-mobile sim to see if it actually works.
Please see the pic bellow that shows my tab as Network Unlocked after entering *#7465625#. Again, i did not do any of steps listed on the thread i just wanted to see what i would get by entering the set of numbers.

Any thoughts on how this could had happen?

I would recommend to check your IMEI either way.
Hope it is not corrupted.

Your phone isn't unlocked because a screen says so. It's unlocked when you can put in another carriers sim and connect to their network.

I did break my IMEI so i could get data using my Vibrant sim, don't know if that had something to do with it.

Don't really have access to another sim (ex. AT&T ) to try it. Might have to wait untill i get my unlock code from t-mobile.

Try to restore original imei and check network lock once more. You would see it locked.
The safest way to unlock posted by Roto in details. I do not recommend corrupting imei like some other methods do in the end.

Not Registered on Network

we write original imei with box. phone is ok. working. if i install original stock firmware or custom, phone said to me "not registered on the network." when try to make call. and we write original imei with box. phone fix again. but i cant install firmware

check the product code of your phone.
also check the csc code
i had exactly the same problem with an s3

i check and.try so many modems.and.different csc

Compare the product code and imei in the phone with that under the battery not the box
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

The product code on my s3 was GT-I9300MBDO2U when I unlocked and degraded the phone using z3x when I plugged the phone into lies it said phone not supported. I changed the product code to GT-I9300MBDBTU using the z3x box, I kept the imei and s/n original as on the sticker under the battery. Now when I plug the phone into kies the phone is recognised and will update as normal. I've also done the same to my I9505 which was on orange.
Hope this helps

Samsung ATIV S can't detect any sim

HI guys,
I bought an ATIV S in Malaysia running on stock rom and not bound to any carrier. Changed the CSC to ATO and updated to GDR3. Used the phone for few days and then sent it to my brother in another country with a different time zone. When he tired to put his sim the phone can't detect it.....sim card missing. He tried multiple sims but all not detected.
I am confused as what could be the reason since it was working fine in Malaysia. What shall i do ?

First of all, this is the Developement & Hacking section. This question belongs to the Q & A forum, where it will be answered. Please only post relevant threds in Developement & Hacking.
To answer your question:
Has he tried a hardreset? Maybe this is a bug related to the change of the CSC.
Are you sure that the phone was not damaged in any way while sending it to your brother? Let him take a look at the SIM-tray and see if a pin is missing, broken or whatever. This happened to a friend's phone just recently.
If nothing works, try to flash another ROM. If this doesn't fix your issue, it is most probably a hardware defect.

Sorry for posting in wrong section, guess i was in a hurry n didnt realize dat. Btw d problem has been identified n it turns out dat d sims from local carriers r different n d chip does not really come in contact with d pins due to different dimensions. In pic top 1 doesnt work while bottom one works.

SPH-L720T stuck on Global??

Hello everyone. I recently bought a few Galaxy S4's to resell. I kept and unlocked one, then sold the others on ebay. One of the buyers just contacted me and told me that they cannot get the phone working on their sprint account because Sprint says the phone is stuck on global mode. What is global mode and is there any easy way I can walk them through correcting it? I dont rememebr seeing a global setting in the *#0011# menu.
Thanks in advance.

I would tell them to Odin the stock software from www.sammobile.com that should reset everything to stock. Global mode is where it is unlocked and can use either a CDMA or GSM signal (as most of the world uses GSM not CDMA, hence the name global).

Thanks for the reply. I thought I used ODIN to format this phone before I shipped it, but I could be wrong. How can I make sure that the phone is able to work on sprint before I try to sell it again?

Yes, it does that as well... As for the last question, I don't know. Kind of hard to tell on an unactivated phone. You could try Freedompop, it's free and they use the Sprint network. If it works on there it should work on Sprint.
