[Q] Cannot get Note3 to display AP or CSC (code *#1234# error)

I have become increasingly frustrated with this device! I am trying to run the *#1234# code in the stock dialer to view my AP and CSC so that I may root via the Root de la Vega method. But when the code runs it just comes back saying "Unable to Process Request". I've tried everything such as dialing just #1234#, *#1234#*, resets, factory resets, posting the question here previously (as I cannot post in the actual forum thread yet due to posting limitations) but it was deleted with no message to let me know why, nothing works. I cannot root safely without being able to view this code and was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem? Not sure if it's relevant but my carrier is T-mobile and I am using the 32gb White model. Everything is still stock. I really need help with this, I'm ready to go back to my note 2 because at least that had root -_-. Someone please help!?

As a workaround, perhaps log in to Kies solely for the purpose of checking what your current firmware is? See snapshot here http://i1-win.softpedia-static.com/screenshots/Kies_1.png?1378883026.

You have to be rooted and "enable" the entry of service codes via the dialer first.
For the VZW Note 3, I've confirmed this works - Edit the contents of /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu from OFF to ON (must be capitalized)...reboot and you're good to go.
If that doesn't work for non VZW Note 3's, you can try the full steps listed here!

This is very confusing , if I'm trying to obtain root I need to already be rooted? If I root without using the Vega method I'll trip the knox counter no? I'm trying to avoid that. Seems like a catch 22 to me?

Having the same problem, but THANK you for the Checkfus recommendation. That does provide the CSC.
It doesn't show AP though.
However, (new road block) my CSC is N900VVZWMI9 , I don't see that in the list https://mega.co.nz/#F!n9JnyI5S!VKmm1hxHlhIxWo1bXeIfLA
So I guess we will have to wait... Correct?

I am having a similar problem, I just opened my Note 3 and when I dial *#1234# nothing happens, if I click send, it actually tries to dial it. I need to know the AP and CSC so I can root. Obviously I can't follow the steps above since I'm not rooted yet.

Remember.. You have to use native dialer when entering codes.. I was using a third party dialer app and it only dialed.

Samsung fake ROM (.WP8)

THIS PROJECT WAS DROPPED.
Use MBN Creator instead. It can SAFELY flash MBNs.​
This is empty ROM made to flash CSC (.mbn) without huge .wp8 file. It can be used to flash MBN on phones where .wp8 isn't available (Odyssey, Neo...).
This ROM is only safe for GT-I8750, cause if you do something wrong, you are still able to flash full normal ROM. You can use this small file to flash my custom CSC, if you don't want to store full 1.5 GB ROM on your HDD.
How to use it:
Choose this ROM as first file in Downloader, and MBN as second
Choose "Select" in "DL option"
Uncheck all partitions, except CSC
Boot your phone into Download Mode and connect it to PC
Click "Start"
Downloader will ask you "Download all binary?". Click "NO"
Hold "lock" key to reset your phone
Do Hard Reset to apply custom CSC
This ROM shouldn't be flashed! Or you turn your phone into a brick. Be careful.
Supported models:
GT-I8675
GT-I8750
SCH-I930
SGH-I187
SGH-T899M
SPH-I800

I can't seem to get the tool to detect the Odyssey in the first place.... Otherwise I would definitely help out.

Excellent work! If I understand correctly, this should interop-unlock people who got T899M phones that came with Samsung's GDR3 firmware pre-installed, right?

I know, I tested it.

LOL ... still, I can't download the GDR3 update using ATO settings.
I believe it depends on the carrier. With the SIM card the update message says I've already the latest version of the OS, without SIM I get a 80072efd error.

Ok at the risk of looking stupid is there a fake rom and custom CSC for the SCH-I930? Just want to be clear on what rom and .mbn I should be using to test.

Maybe this will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2685551 The download link in the thread also contains the CSC files from my Odyssey. Sorry, I would've got these to you directly but din't want to bug you for "custom roms" and posted in General sub forum as not to clutter the forums up more than they already are.
PS The text file in the zip is just the current info on my phone from reading CSC with diagnostic tool and NOT included in the files taken from the CSC folder I got off the phone using the Native Access Server app.

Do you have T899M? Can you help me test this ROM?

I do, but I'm not willing to hard-reset at this time unless vitally important. Too many in-progress experiments.
If I have to reset for some other reason (such as an experiment rendering the phone unbootable), I'll try this out. Generally speaking, though, I prefer to work from stock ROMs (with run-time modifications only) where possible.

Okay... I'm having trouble finding where the latest flasher app is at. I have the tool with odyssey support, but I can't seem to get it to take the driver on 8.1 even in Driver Test Mode.... I first tried it on x64, and I'll try later on x86.
EDIT: Okay... I got it working on the Venue 8 Pro (8.1x86)
Which ROM do I need to flash? I see one for the I8750 and the T899M. Or is it that you need the included? I believe the CSC might need to stay VZW, but can you overwrite an existing CSC? Anyways, the entire CSC folder has been attached for simplicity.

Ok, first tester bricked his phone. I think, he clicked "Yes" in step 6. It's soft brick, but... I didn't really think it can be flashed.

Who wants to be a second tester?

[UTILITY]Factory Binary -- Service Firmware for G920F only!

Hello every one!!!!
i am not sure if i am posting this in the correct section, if not forgive me, but i am not sure where to post this..
SO... long story short: i went to service because i had to fix imei (which i still have to be done) so i went to pick up the phone not fixed (too expensive in that lab), and i found out there is a SERVICE FIRMWARE on it!!!
first thing i did was dumping it of course i am providing now links to it and to the kernel shipped along with..
ODIN FLASHABLE
RECOVERY FLASHABLE
note:
- both require a factory reset to start, if you do it from custom recovery you can skip format sdcard, but still need to wipe data
- odin flashable already is rooted and has su app installed by me, for the recovery one you can simply flash SuperSuUpdate.zip
most interesting stuffs are a permissive from stock kernel, there are some service apps, which unfortunately are not fixing my problem, and only allow to run tests basically, apart some really small edits to connection and usb or HW tests.. another interesting thing is that the firmware has a sort of AOSP base but need tons of work to have it fully functional.. F.e setting is "aosp" looking and works also on stock roms, but some part are FC because code is missing; launcher is basically useless, but is an "aosp" one as well
most interesting service apps are missing a connection to a tool (i believe) since it throws a popup saying :
Code:
[HMT] init failed
or
[HMT] not connected
anyone knows which could be? anyone familiar to this?
so in the end i am posting it just as general pourpose and cherrypicking of usefull apps, unless we can find what is missing so we could actually fix lots of issues!!!!

Will this service firmware reset the knox counter aswell?

Ok thank you. Please look for advanced network setup APPs and post them ASAP, I need them very urgently

Well if you're in rush flash the firmware and use them, or use some app like samsung secret code from play.. You'll need root for that to work properly

I really dunno because i had mine already tripped long before..! I think it should because they are not supposed to trip knox to fix it, but the selinux permissive kernel could give you troubles!!! Seriously !! Lots of thing may go wrong.. First of all is not out of the box compiled by samsung, but is repacked by me! So no chance it has original signature
You could try this app

Giving root permission and try some code using method 0 (root) to launch it ex 1234567890 could be usefull for you

They dont trip knox because they would have flashed an engineering sboot to your device. you should look into dumping that if you have not updated it yet.

The thing is that when they flashed it on my device they have a compiled one with samsung original signature.. Mine is a repack so it doesn't have the original signature so it is likely that if you flash with odin you can end up with tripped knox, because bootloader doesn't read samsung sig and voids it

Regardless, Service firmwares always contain an engineering boot loader. as it allows them to flash what ever they need retaining the current knox state. it also unlocks the protected memory, and has a whole suite of debugging commands enabled for service utilities.
SO again i state if you have not updated this device since you got it back (eg, flashed a tar with a public sboot in it) you should consider dumping yours as its most likely an engineering one for the G920F.

I just received a new device. Here's what I found out.
I tried to use a kernel (by mistake) from another carrier and when you do this, there's Samsung software that recognizes that's not a Sprint Kernel and it locks up the device. That's what was told to me.

@Wuby986 Do you have any screenshots? I would like to see the aosp stuff that includes before I install it to my phone
Thanks

SOLVED for some HUAWEI Y6 types : How to root this device ?

SOLVED !
Hi,
Which ROOT options do i have for this device? SCL-L01 (other versions : see UPDATE)
For some unknown reason this solution does not seem to work everytime on this types.
But better give it a try
You do not need to unlock your phone.
Just install :
http://www.appsandroidapk.com/tools/kingroot/
http://androidmtk.com/download-kingroot-application
UPDATE : known versions of Kingroot working : succeeded feedback by other members but not always succesfull.
SCL-L01 4.5.2 Build : SCL-L01C432B130, SCL-L01C150B140
SCL-L02 4.6.5
SCL-L03 4.6.5 Build : SCL-L03C25B130
SCL-U31 4.8.0 Build : SCL-U31C185B140 (but with unlocked bootloader)
(another user : with unlocked bootloader, sim card out, wifi ON, Kingroot 4.8.0 = success)
I suggest you try all versions when above list is not working for you. You'll never know ...
Feel free to post your rooted phone's BUILD number please to help others.

It's permanent. No worries. Let the app do its work.
Best thing is that you do not need to unlock bootloader etc. like some users propose to do. So not necessary to ask unlock code @Huawei. (warranty stays)
If i am not mistaken you can unroot too. (warranty not sure after root)

Well, that was the point. I want to buy this for my friend and want to be sure I can root without unlocking the bootloader, So thanks a lot. I wonder why other owners say it didn't work for them.

Hi,
i remember by running Kingroot the first time it said it didn't go by the usual "quick" root.
But after that message i could choose to do it 'manually' by selecting just a button to continue.
After that it went running for a couple of minutes, even a couple of time it rebooted and after that it said "rooted succesfully"
Checked it with rootchecker--OK !
Other apps like solid explorer, link2sd ect. asked for permissions to grant, so i am rooted by that way.
? Do you have the 2gb version with 2 sims ?

Hi,
i remember by running Kingroot the first time it said it didn't go by the usual "quick" root.
But after that message i could choose to do it 'manually' by selecting just a button to continue.
After that it went running for a couple of minutes, even a couple of time it rebooted and after that it said "rooted succesfully"

Yes, the sreens are taken after root.
Mine is a 1gb/1sim. Perhaps this will cause the problem. I do not now. But i suppose the 2gb/2sims might normally work too.
Perhaps someone with a Y6 2gb/2sims might give it a try and give feedback to this situation.
PS : Have you succeeded sofar?

Rooting happened like video. Just to give you an example how it went.
First it said "root is unavailable" and after that you just tap "START ROOT".

This well known Android German forum has a quite big thread about it:
android-hilfe.de/thema/huawei-y6-rooten-des-geraetes.724309
I don't read German but with a bit of help from google translate I can see that nobody there has succeeded to get root access without unlocking the botloader.
Seems like the OP here had luck with his phone. Perhaps huawei forgot to lock his bootloader?

Nope they didn't forget....
I DID check the status of my phone,my friend. Did you?
Use minimal ADB and fastboot - go in ADB and check with " ADB reboot bootloader"
You will see your status my friend...it WAS locked. So don't be that suspicious...it worked with mine
Perhaps sent a mail @KingRoot like i did..perhaps they will look into it like they answered me

Cheers m8, I wasn't suspicious it was just a little joke, but I'm glad to hear that you've checked the lock status. :good:
It looks like the 2gb/dual-sim type (to my knowledge that's the only type available in Europe) can not yet be rooted without unlocking the bootloader. Would be nice if it could though...

Got mine here...as a gift because i'm a gold member
http://www.proximus.be/PUB/self-emp...wei-Y6-Black/18a3ad5b975467290000015068ab9aa9
It's in Europe as Belgium still is for the moment
Mine is a 1gb/single sim.
There are 1gb/dual sim also :
http://smartphonetablet.be/huawei-ascend-y6-5-inch-android-5.1-quad-core-2200mah-1gb8gb/
And yours, the 2gb/dual sim.
Hope you can root it in the end. Good luck !
edit : perhaps you can unlock OEM in " developer options" and give it a second try with Kingroot. You never know...

Lol, dag buurman! Hi there neighbour I'm from Holland
My knowledge is indeed lacking, I stand corrected! I only saw the 2gb/dual sim version in the Dutch and German sites and presumed it was Huawei's Europe import policy.
It's available here for 136 euros from belsimpel.nl but I don't have it yet. I wanted to get it for a friend and dual sim is a must for her. I only want to root it, replace the hosts files to get rid of ads and unroot it again, so she gets no problems with ota updates and warranty and such.
Are you generally happy with this phone? Are the audio and call quality satisfactory?
Thanks a lot!

Hi neighbour ! Indeed a small word
No problem ! There are 3 versions of it.
But i thought you've bought the phone already and tried Kingroot...
I use this phone as an interim because my ZP999 is in first aid :crying: Screen total loss...
But by unrooting this phone and deleting all unnecessary stuff and linking all the apps to my 2nd partition of SD it became a rather quick and very decent phone indeed! From the 1GB RAM i've always 500MB free.
There is no lack in opening apps. Battery is more than satisfactory (3 days normal use, 2 days no problem when making a bunch of phone calls like i do etc. ). Battery-charge cycle less than 1 hour.
Design is good. Slim body
Phone call : good but they put a rather hard blocking noice reduction in it, so when you have somebody on the phone and he/she does not say anything, sound is totally gone - that's a bit different with all the other phones i've got : caller voice and background sounds are hearable all the time. But you get used to it with this phone).
Touchscreen is very good even looking at a small angle is more than good. Backlight clarity ok.
GPS excellent! Wifi and carrier connect : excellent ! 4G top !
Sound when playing music : very good ( better then my ZP999)
So in general : worth the 130 euro's :cyclops:

Confused by model and build compatibility.

I've rooted / flashed roms onto HTC and Samsung devices before but I'm pretty lost with this one...
My model number: ALE-L23
My build number: ALE-L23C605B140
I have two simple(?) goals.
- get root access
- install a custom rom
Which threads should I be looking at to make sure they are compatible with my device? Any help or insight into this is greatly appreciated.

Seems like I am not the only one.... Can you check your vendor & country code? My build # (B044) is even older than yours.
As for ROOT, I come across this but I haven't try

Hi, whatid. I don't know where I can check this. I don't see anything like it in the "About Phone" section of settings. How do you know that the threads about custom roms and rooting here on XDA don't apply to our phone model/version?

the vendor and country code can be seen by going to the dialer and pressing *#*#2846579#*#*
you can try this method. its a standard root methode that works without changing or unlocking bootloader altough you're gonna need it if you want a custom rom wich are not available yet.

Thanks! My vendor is "hw" and country "la" (I'm assuming Huawei and Latin America?) The method you link to is also meant for "L21" models, how do I know it's safe to do with my L23 phone?
