I337M bell running 4.3 need help or direction to sim unlock
Am trying to unlock the Sim for the SGH I337M under bell.
I was able to Unlock the device using chainfire and install TWRP
stuff i have checked using the method *#0011# dosent help as te serive is limted on my device.
most likely i need to flash another radio rom and then unlock it.
tested the one MDL Radio this didnt help either. Odin failed flashing it .
Not sure if any one can direct me to a radio i can flash then unlock.
Thanks
Note:Yes i have searched the forum and looked around (only for you smart pants)

To be honest... I don't think it is possible on 4.3 not for free anyhow... limited service is probably because you started out with MK6 modem right? If you really want to unlock it.... try one of the web services talked about in the s4 forum or take it to one of those places in the mall.... they usually charge about $20.... you can pooch the phone if you do it wrong or so they say in lots of the unlock threads....
Besides, the MDL / MK2 type unlocks are for the AT&T versions of the phone (i337), not the Bell Canadian version (i337m).
To do the unlock, I recommend CellUnlocker.net - it cost me 25 USD (now worth about 30 CAD), but they got me the code in a couple of hours, and I plugged it in no problem using a non-Rogers sim.
Am wondering maybe i can use a radio i can flash it with it unlock it and then flash the stock radio rom.
i have did this before on the SGH 2 long time ago.
i remember i had tp downgrade to ICS then flash the custom radio than do the ##0011# trick .
not sure why we cant do this here ????? i can flash another rom on the device i dont see why not i have rooted and TWRP installed on it so its ready for some changes .
Thanks for the advise about the (mall/cellunlock) i might use it as the last resource but for now am playing with this phone i have to figure it out i guess its kinda challenge.

I have the exact same phone. I was able to SIM unlock on 4.2.2 using this video, and flash the modem to enable the AWS frequency for Wind and such. Though this was back with the MDJ modem. I do not think this is possible with the MK6 modem.

That is what I suggested to someone in post#14 in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2619239&page=2
He never posted as to whether it worked.
Please HELP!!!
can you guys please tell me is it possible to convert Sprint LG G2 (LS980) to International version (D802) firmware?
looking foward for your help.
thank you!
Yes it is possible with lots of searching and hacking. It is way easier to do permanent SIM unlock procedure and easier than that, use a custom ROM. See link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133
Here's my knowledge from the conversion. I could follow the steps in that post but the phone never really worked right. The steps to make the phone work on GSM carriers caused menus to disappear from within the phone, such as ability to change APNs. It works but there's a better way.
I flashed an AOSP ROM to my phone. Shameless plug here for LiquidSmooth beta, I've had the least problems getting a working phone with that ROM, actually works out of the box. While on AOSP, I can replace my Sprint LTE SIM with that of another carrier, reboot the phone and then go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu and change radio mode to GSM. I'm using an AT&T SIM now, domestic even and can SMS, MMS and have HSPA+ data, no LTE. If for some silly reason I want to switch back to Sprint, just swap SIM card, reboot phone, change radio mode in the hidden menu. Simple.

Thank you very much mate :highfive: ! but actually what i want is to have D802 (Stock) firmware on LS980. because D802 is getting updates so quickly. ( Knock Code) i searched for a way to convert but i couldn't find it. can you guys please tell me is it even possible? because both devices are have same hardware except the LTE band! looking forward for your advice. thank you! :good:
I know it's possible. I read once what has to be done. There's some trickery that has to be done in the build.prop which makes the phone think it's another model which would allow the flash. All I can say is search. It is on the XDA forum. The term used was CID change. Found a ton in 2 minutes all related to HTC One on Google, finding the G2 should be easy enough with search.
Once time converted, the frequencies GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100 (3G), LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600 (4G) it work or not?
Please someone answer this last question .
Once converted, will the converted LS980 support the frequencies of D802 ( GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100 (3G), LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600 (4G)) instead of the LS980 frequencies ?

Simple answer is "No" . because frequencies are hardware things. we can only change softwares. LS980 will not have D802's frequencies by anyway.

Yes there is a way to do it but I don't know, me too I'm searching for this solution, because I bought a used LS980, and when I plugged it into PC the LG Support tool ask me if I want to upgrade the software of the phone (Into Lollipop) and the actual version at that time was D80230e, I let the authorized the LG Tool to download the update, and when finished, everything goes wrong the phone became unusable, when I push in a zone it react in another, and it was really hard to achieve the first steps of the configuration, when finished I decided to open the phone and look at the motherboard and bingo I found that it's an LS980, then I downloaded the LS980 firmware, I flashed it, and everything became OK, except the lost IMEI, then I tried to resotre the EFS backup that I done before that I upgrade it with LG Tool, and then the phone stay on the LG logo...Right now my phone is out of service, I use it as camera and nothing else...I'm searching for solution every time but I found anything...Is there any solution ?
What about changing motherboard only, will that work ?

On order to restore your IMEI you've just to flash your phone with the ZVD version and let the OTA updates install,then you'll recover your IMEI, but if you flash again with the ZVD you will lose it again

Hello friends,
I have an unlocked Sprint LS980, which i was using for GSM India(I am from India). Two days ago phone shut down on its own i tried booting into download mode which made it to boot again.
now i am facing multiple problems First of all battery drains very fast (50%+ overnight without any use) which was normal before this incident. Secondly there is NO NETWORK Coverage, i thought it locked again and unlocked again. I have also tried flashing the stock rom and unlocking steps again, but to no use. Problems still exist. Is there anybody to help
Thank you
Someone kindly help me
i think you shoud kdz and flash a rom cook (cloudy rom,mahdi,slimkat,...).about network, in network setting, you try to change to another mode such as 2g,3g,lte,..

By the way, i tried flashing 4.2.2 almost 3 times, battery drain is still persistent. Do i suppose that battery died in a day?

You can try to follow my HOWTO for the G9008V, it should work.
If the CWM recovery in that thread does not work, there is a specific one but is in Chinese: G9009W_CWM_recovery_6.0.5.1_CN.tar - 13.4 MB
You may want to contact the developer to ask if he can compile one for you in English: Chenglu

Any success rooting your samsung s5 sm-g9009w ? My dad bought one from china to use the dual cdma and gsm but then it doesn't even come with google play store. How do you install the play store and make it work? I could install but it wouldn't run so I thought maybe I need to root first and install the play store.
cf-auto-root works for g9009w now

hi, cf has added support to this model. I have rooted with success (g9009wkeu1anh9).
to flash gapps, you may still need a custom recovery cwm/twrp. stock recovery causes "signature verification failre". but i still has no luck with a working customs recovery. (both cwm and twrp cause recovery boot loop)
good luck !
The Chinese cwm recovery I linked is confirmed to work, if you feel adventurous the order of the menu is the same as the english one.
I also have a problem with this G9009W, the sim 1 slot is locked by China Telecom.. I live in Indonesia, so slot sim 1 is disabled.. Is there any idea to unlock and use the sim 1 slot?
I also user samsung sm-g9009w ,, i live in Indonesia, I hope there is a firmware that can install google service ,, because my gmail account can not enter

Hello,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 with 4G (used) and was everything working perfectly. However, to be used, restored factory settings to start used the S4. With that, my SIM card (however recognize other carriers) and did not recognize it, I tried to make the unlock / change firmware / ...
When trying to install a ROM of Brazil, Odin error, coincidentally checked on the mobile screen that had written SGH-I337, logo is a US S4, with I9500XXUGNG3 firmware (4.4.2 Russian). With that, I thought the ROM was blocking my SIN, it tried to install an original ROM that SGH-I337 model and upgrading to Android 5.0.1 Lollipop ... ROM came full of AT & T apps, and left me quite disappointed.
In short, I am with a horrible ROM and without using my SIM card (I'm thinking it's physical problem).
Can anyone help me restore / install a factory ROM, if possible, Lollipop? I'm trying to do one week and could not.
Already, thanks!
Sorry for the English, I'm using a translator.

I had already reported it, but has to take this question .
It is a SGH- I337 . So I can only install roms the i337 AT & T ? Is there any clean rom ?
I already concludes the problem of my SIN card, is that the device 4g band is different from 4g Brazil , therefore, it does not recognize . But he recognizes the other SIN Card 3g Brazil . Will I have to buy a SIN Card 3g or if there is a possibility to change the band that s4 find my SIN card would be even better.
Remembering my S4 had a rom i9500
Before flashing anything else, install the Samsung phone info app to confirm the bootloader version in the phone.
If the bootloader is 4.3 or newer, the bootloader is locked and you cannot install twrp or cwm. You can install safestrap and flash custom Roms based on stock Samsung Roms.

The cool thing is that the i337 was this I9500XXUGNG3 firmware that had the ability to use Portuguese Brazil , I would like to return to this firmware. How I do? I tried by Odin but always of it :
<ID : 0/011 > sboot.bin
<ID : 0/011 > NAND Write Start!
<ID : 0/011 > FAIL !
do you have any idea?
The bootloader is locked so you can't install 9505 firmware on the i337.

Do you flashed back to stock i337 firmware and it won't accept your SIM card unless you enter a network unlock code?

However the rom one that I managed to install this was " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674223 " with root.
So I would like to set up a Stock ROM that was clean , without anything of AT & T , which before I had with I9500XXUGNG3 firmware (including Portuguese Brazil )
Did you put a pin on your sim? Did you enter the sim code too many times and the phone locked the sim?

Can you help me one installing a rom for this i337 without the AT & T ? Preferably a clean like that had previously , as i9500 .
The bootloader is locked on the i337 so you only flash ROMs using safestrap.
If you want to remove ATT apps, you'll have to root and use root explorer to delete them. You could also try Titanium Backup to remove apps.
