[Q] *#*#4636#*#* not working

Hey i want to change my phone to WCDMA Preferred by using *#*#4636#*#* but when i am trying to use nothing happens?

'Hidden menu" on our note 3 is not enabled...
you need to be rooted...
And you'll need Root Explorer...
Go to file EFS/Carrier/hiddenmenu
Open with root explorer text editor
You will see the word "OFF"
Delete and type in "ON"
Use capital letters
Hit the back button "you have made changes to this file do you wish to save?"
Click yes
Reboot
You now have your hidden menu but I don't know if all the codes are the same as previous Samsung devices... I don't mess with it to much... I just used it to turn off the wifi power saving mode.

Is there any way to access it without rooting the device?

Not anything that I know of...
If you go to a Best Buy store when the Samsung specialist is working... they are supposed to be able to plug in and enable that menu to do their tests before giving you a warranty claim... maybe if you found one of those dudes and bought him a beer?

EFS ok
/Carrier/hiddenmenu
Not exist... How to fix in mj7?
Thanks

Yes rooted, omega 4.0 mj7

I had the same problem, the folders did not exist. I did a search for hiddenmenu and it found nothing. Then I checked the EFS folder again and everything magically appeared.
Rooted, using Hyperdrive ROM

If your rooted try "advanced signal status" app on the playstore... Works great and easier

Answer
Just try *#0808#

No need to enable the HiddenMenu anymore.
You can use 'Phone INFO ★Samsung★' app --> go to 'Secret Codes' menu, or use 'Shortcut Master' app --> go to 'Secret Code Explorer' menu to launch the secret codes (ROOT is required).

[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

Access Point Names is only needed for data connection. It is not required to register on mobile network.
- Please check if you have a valid Baseband?
- Make sure your network settings is set to Auto Mode.

Ok thanks, I have seen these screens before but I forgot completely.
You can change to another network. If the blacklist was broadcasted over all networks in your country so the only option for you is selling it oversea.
While you are in the MAIN MENU screen, can you select DEBUG SCREEN > NAS INFORMATION > MM INFORMATION and show the info?

According to the screenshot, the cause of the problem is IMSI (SIM card identity) unknown in HLR (Home Location Register).
That means your SIM card has not been registered (is unknown) in the mobile network.
I don't know why????

Hummh, nothing here, may be because you have selected "RESET MM&GMM REJECT List" to clear the history.
According to the previous screenshot, as I've said, the cause of problem is your SIM card has not been registered (is unknown) in your mobile network. However this problem happens with many sim card, and your sim card work fine on the other phone (your S2). It sounds weird...

To have this switch visible you need a valid path to bootSound.ogg
I know two possibilities, but with balong error the cust may not work.
1. Under the system => /system/media/audio/animationsounds/bootSound.ogg
2.Under the Cust (for EU location) => /cust/hw/eu/media/audio/animationsounds/bootSound.ogg
This work together with a valid bootanimation.

One more site to have bootSound.ogg => /system/etc/media/audio/animationsounds/bootSound.ogg
Maybe in your case some settings are hidden and do not show the switch. In my case if I broken the path or remove the bootsound file the switch desapear.
Can you do some tests?
I can try your prop files or other files.
