Unlock Samsung Focus Sim Error / No Network Found

Hi
recently bought an AT&T Focus from Ebay, the seller says its unlock but I forget about it and purchase the unlock code anyway.
So , here's the problem :
First time I insert my country Simcard I would expect a warning something like "Sim error, please input unlock code" ( this is my 3rd time bought AT&T Focus and been there 2x unlock my previous Focus)
But this time its boot right up and shows 2 bar on the signal bar (so I guess the seller is right, its unlock already) but when I try to call provider customer service the signal suddenly gone and its gone forever
Tried to switch another simcards in still no signal. Do a hard reset, still no go
Each time I turn it on, the phone tab on the home screen says : Searching......and few second after it says..No Service...
I confirm all the simcard I've been using is valid, they all work on my blackberry.
Can anyone give a solution ?
If this is matter, this is what says on the About Phone :
Phone Information :
Name : Samsung SGH-i917
Model : Samsung SGH-i197
Carrier : AT&T Wireless
Software : WIndows Phone 7.5
OS Version : 7.10.7720.68

Radio Hardware : 0.0.0.3

Also it says SIM ID : 8962100xxxxx ( is this means it already read my current SIM inside the phone ?)
I hope you guys can help me, I can't afford to pay the Focus just for a paperweight ....arrrrghhhhhh

I usually use the Samsung 'Network Profile' app to help setup the phone to use a new network with a new sim card.
You can download it from the 'Samsung Zone' Marketplace. Maybe it will help. Good luck.
Edit: I've found it can take a few minutes for the 'no signal' to go away. Perhaps it's registering something. I'm not familiar with what goes on in the background. That's just been my experience.

Hi Peter
Thank for your reply, however when I try to search Network Profile app, I got a warning says Not available in your country, I'm in South East Asia
What should I do now?

I wonder if the problem cause by any forced Mango update? or something like that?
I can see the phone is able to read my Sim card since I can import contacts to the phone

If you're unlocked, use the attached.

Hi EnderPsp
I just gone through the WindowsBreak , one of the step that not complete is after choosing the windowsbreak it stays on Loading bla bla... ( I think that windowbreak contain custom provisioning setting? but how I edit it or is it already set up ? )
Also in order to instal the Network Profile app I installed TOM Xap Installer, but it crashed each time I click on instal after browse the network profile app.
I'm missing something here ?

Sorry, got mixed with another thread and replied without checking.
If Network Profile app didn't work, it might not be a software configuration issue. I would suggest a backup/full sync and then either a hard reset or try to flash a fresh ROM. If that doesn't fix the issue either, then it's hardware. But wait, maybe someone else has a better idea/solution.

I would like to thank you for respond to my problem but I think I don't have more times to find the solution.
I will return it tomorrow and get another Focus.

See whether enabling cellular data in Settings>Cellular makes any difference. My phone started working, had same issues as yours.

can you double check the sim slot and see if all the contacts ( small pin like contacts which touch the sim when installed) are all OK?
try to raise them a little with a pin or a small knife and re-insert the sim.
i had the same issue when i got my focus. it would always say no signal or something similar and a "SIM card is missing" icon on the top but would show sim ID just fine...
let me know if it works

[Guide] Increase your changes of bootloader unlock by official method [RN3/SD]

So after almost 3 weeks of trying and trying and trying to unlock the bootloader on my new RN3, it finally happened. I had grown so used to seeing the 50% error, that i couldnt beleive my eyes when i saw the percentage figure move past 50% mark, and before i could realize, the MiFlashUnlock program had give a big green confirmation on the unlock.
So here is how i did it.
As a prerequisite - Go through this thread http://en.miui.com/thread-342144-1-1.html and try out everything from onwards. It has some helpful tips and I found this thread to be most comprehensive than any other thread.
If it doesnt work, try these:
Part 1.
Check how many devices you have EVER enrolled on your MI account. Now, the idea here is to ensure your current device is the ONLY device you EVER enrolled on your MI account. If need be, you should create a new account.
1.a - sign in to i.mi.com and verify your current device is listed.
1.b - goto the below link on chrome [replace the XXYYZZWWAA with your MI ID]
https://device.id.mi.com/dev/web/us...ang=cn&frameId=hidden_message_frame_1&userId=[highlight]XXYYZZWWAA[/highlight]#index
1.c - if the page loads fine, you will see something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1.d - right click and do inspect
1.e - the chrome web page inspector will open. Now go to 'Source'. it will show the source code of the javascipt file. Make sure the name of the file you are looking at is jquery-1.8.3.min.js. Click on "{ }" at the bottom of the window to pretty print the file.
Now scroll down to line 4505 where it says "c.text = a.responseText"
The purpose is to inspect the value in 'c' that is returned by the server. Insert a breakpoint at line 4504 (not 4505) by clicking on the number 4504 (a blue highlight will be shown).
1.f - once you have inserted the breakpoint, add "c.text" into 'watch' by right clicking clicking "add to watch". Then just do a refresh in the main window. The page will reload and stop at the breakpoint. Then press F-11, to step into line 4505. Once you do this, you will see the value of c.text getting populated. This is all you need. Just right click and copy the text and paste into a notepad.
1.g Now, what are we looking for? These things:
- make sure this is the only device you have on your MI account.
- ensure your device is correctly reflected, i.e., check the name, status should be 'ONLINE'. Dont bother about the phone number (more on this in Part 2)
- If you have multiple devices, follow Part 2 to remove the device in question and add it to a NEW ACCOUNT.
As an example, refer this screenshot which shows multiple devices (all deleted/ removed) on my OLD account.
1.h In case you have only one device listed here, then you need to ensure the device is showing online most of the time, and not just when you login in to the i.mi.com website and do a find device. Read Part 2 to ensure chances of reflecting online are better.
Part 2
how to ensure you have only one device on your MI account that has EVER been enrolled.
Simple solution - create a new account with a new phone number and a new email ID. Follow these steps if you have access to a seperate SIM:
2.a - remove the device from your existing MI account by (1) - signing out of the MI account on your phone and (2) - removing the device from the i.mi.com console. Do both the steps to ensure the device is completely removed.
2.b - Create a new MI Account on i.mi.com by using the separate email account. No need to enter a phone number at this stage. Sing in using the email ID / new account number to ensure it works. Again, no need to enter a phone number.
2.c - insert the new Sim (preferably one that has never been associated with an MI account) in slot 1 (this is critical)
2.d - flash a new MIUI rom (you can use global dev version) via EDL. When it comes to the MI account sign in, enter the new account ID and password to log in. Login using the account ID as there is no phone number on record.
2.e - once done, go back to i.mi.com and sign in and when it asks about second level sign in (the one where it sends a sms to you phone number, ensure it is sending it to your new phone number - if there is no phone number, ensure you add the number at this stage.
2.f - make sure the device is now listed on the console. You can repeat Part 1 to make sure only one device is visible at back end.
2.g - also ensure your device and ROM version are correctly listed on the MIUI form settings page. Refer the MIUI forum link i posted above.
2.g - goto Part 3. Ensure you have the sim installed all the time and you are online through a data connection.
Basically, what you have done is removed your device from the old account and added it to the new account.
Part 3 - this has been fairly discussed. Apply for the unlock permission and wait for confirmation. once you have got it, download the tool and try to unlock.
Just to let you know - i successfully unlocked my phone with this process. I was able to unlock within a few hours of receiving the confirmation message for the new account.
Good luck.
Hit thanks if this helped you

Unable to add breakpoint at 4504. It automatically goes to 4505.

Even after devId and ChannelId shows, I was only able to unlock officially when my mobile # and model was showing inside _phone :[<inside this>]. i think unless it shows, you will get the 50% error. And for me to have the details shown I had to flash dev ROM + added Xiaomi account and avoided adding any account till xiaomi account sync as well as all the other operations like Find Device( from phone + mobile browser) is complete. Also, I had added my phone number into the phone settings.
Note: Miui version was not showing in the forum settings but I was able to unlock. So, that as others referred to as required was not for me (But I had changed device correctly in that page ).
Hope this helps.
Edit: I also made sure only one SIM (one used for request unlock) is present in the 1st SIM slot while doing the DEV ROM flash. DEV Rom (EDL flashed this fastboot: kenzo_global_images_6.8.18)

Thanks

Great. It worked for you. For me, phone number never showed in there.. like in the screenshot but i was able to unlock.
I think the critical thing is to have the device listed as the only device on the account. For me the other account which had other devices mapped to it before, didnt work.
Was it the same for you? I mean, did you sign up for a new account and maybe using a new phone number?

+1 to switching to global dev.
However, I did install global dev via EDL flashing, because nothing seemed to work (I was in Global Stable 7.2.3)
I had signed in Mi Account using phone number on both Phone and Computer, accessed mi cloud via both Phone and Computer and was able to locate device on both, synced some test stuff to like photos. Did this when I got sms notification that unlock permission has been granted
Its worth noting that after getting my unlock permission, I only EDL flashed global beta after 2 days.:highfive:
So in summary, applied for unlock on day 1, got confirmation on day 3, unlocked offically on day 5.
Only one device on mi account used since it was created (which was on day 1)

I had my number connected to my existing miui a/c with MI3 but still after changing the model I never got the unlock request page. So, i created another a/c and used the same no. (first I removed from the existing a/c) and then i got the unlock page and got the permission after 3 days. But since then, I was seeing the value part of the key "_phone" always blank until I flashed global dev and followed the steps I had posted above. The moment I saw my mobile number and the model in the value part, I thought let's try again and voila! it went past 50% (like you achieved something you desperately needed ).

The creation of new account part is mandatory ?

I did not create a new account because I only had a linked phone. But after many tests and verify that appeared the phone, and online status, could not unlock.
Finally I flashed Chinese ROM DEV via EDL flash, and have unlocked at first try.
I think it's false that can be unlocked with stable rom, or at least should wait to them (Xiaomi) authorizes something more than MI account.

Did you unlock Developer mode?
Did you enter your Mi account credentials under the Developer settings entry?
To unlock Dev mode, tap on the MIUI Build entry under "About Phone". You have to tap it 7 or 8 times.
Then when you go back out to the Settings menu, under Additional Setttings, you'll see Developer Settings. In the Developers Setting area you'll see Mi Unlock or something like that. Enter your credentials there

Under developers settings ist dont have this settings... I have Under MiAccount My Email My Number Name etc...

I don't see that entry, and I didn't have to do that to unlock my Mi Mix.
To the OP, in about phone, what does it say for Model number and MIUI version?

Yes i have activated developers... And Mi account credentials dont See in developers

I have the same problem. From my understanding you need to apply to unlock your device first in order to have that bind MI account in developer option. I just applied and they said it might take to 10 days to get approved

Bootloader unlocking
I don't want to argue the issue:
here is what I DID.
link here http://en.miui.com/thread-202290-1-1.html
Please make sure you're on official MIUI ROM to unlock
What you should do after received the approval SMS?
1) Settings---> About phone---> MIUI Version (Tap on it to enable developer option).
2) Settings---> Additional settings---> Developer option and bind your approved Mi account under Mi Unlock Status. This works on latest China & Global Stable and Developer ROM. For those who don't see this option please check out next tutorial and unlock in Developer ROM
I hope this helps, because for me it did
Cheers

Q. What if my IMEI is bad or blacklisted?
A. There are a few times of blacklist... T-Mobile seems to block INTERNAL only if non payment. Others will block if non payment or lost/stolen.
This does not effect SIM unlock, I can do it regardless.... However, you WILL NOT GET NETWORK SIGNAL IF BLOCKED
Check here for T-mobile https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx and also here for all models http://imei24.com/blacklist_check/
If you are not sure ask first!
Q. Can you change/repair my IMEI?
A. HELL NO. This is not only against XDA Rules but it is illegal in most countries, including mine.
Q. Is this really free?
A. Yes, although I do hope for a donation for my time and effort
Q. When are you available?
A. See below.
Q. Can we get on with it all ready?
A. Yes!

Nice work mate! Really useful!

Nice, but why no one tells us how to do it by ourselves? Does it require some secret hacks or what?

Initial firmware requirements?
I am due to receive a Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) which I think may be locked to O2 (UK). I don't know what firmware will be installed, however I suspect it will be the latest stock firmware. My intention is to install TWRP & Lineage 14.1, however I need it unlocked as I use Vodafone (it may well be unlocked but I won't know until I receive it and put my SIM card in it).
With regards to the specific firmware that is required for your 'procedure' I am guessing I would need to flash the 'combination' firmware .md5 file you have provided a link for on the spreadsheet from Odin? Then I'd need to run through the prerequisites and assuming all that goes smoothly I would then go through the procedure with you (assuming you are available).
Its just the initial firmware bit I am a bit confused over?
Cheers
Andy

I saw your old thread was locked due to requiring donations. Good on you for offering it free to the public again! It's good to help people, but family is pretty important, and although it was against XDA rules, there's no shame in asking for compensation for your work. Good luck!

@stifilz I'll be hitting you up sometime soon for round 2 on my phone, heh.
