Just in case you don't know. Looks lke there is a small problem with the caller ID. Carrier Devices (I-mates) have released a patch. I installed it and not a problem. Looks like other MDA/O2 devices might have the same problem but no offical release and don't think this patch works but for imates. Read the posts @
http://discuss.pocketnow.com/showth...511d51&threadid=14516&perpage=12&pagenumber=2
The patch download is here (large 10mb!)
http://www.imate.com/imate/files/Gitex_Update.cab
Here is the important part of the post.
Here is the tech support post.
Please download the patch from
http://www.imate.com/imate/files/Gitex_Update.cab. Please copy this file to the i-mate Pocket PC and run the file using File Explorer on the device. Backup or synchronize with your PC any data on the device.
Perform a Hard Reset by holding down the Power button while using the Stylus to press the small hole on the bottom left of the device. The Hard reset does erase all user data on the device, so backup or synchronies your device to your PC first to save your data.
Align the screen and perform the cut and past training, and set
the timezone. Then a list of operators settings should appear. Chose one and then accept the Arabic EULA. Let all the applications install, the device will reset automatically when this has been completed.
Actually it is related to the Country Code and Area Code. I have mine working. Goto Setting, Connection, Advanced and Select Location. Put the appropiate country code and area code and it should work well.

Well, hello guys. I have came here because I have no idea what to do right now. I bought what I thought it was a Samsung S4 GT-I9500, but now I'm not sure. For you to know, this is my cellphone's review:
dhgate.com/product/i9500-1-1-quad-core-mtk6589-s4-android-4/163955856.html
All my concern started when I bought a Claro SIM from Argentina. I insterted it once, no sim insterted, tried a couple of time, recognized the Operator Claro AR, but no signal, no conection, only emergency calls. I thought well, SIM must have broken when they cutted it. Due lack of time I didn't do much after that, and 2 weeks passed. Now searching in internet about how to make battery last longer, I found how to root my cellphone and I said HELL YEAH, I want to control it all! I didn't have my cellphone with me, so I just kept reading and watching tutorials, you know, recovery & download mode, CWM, ODIN, much things I wanted to do.
One thing I wanted to do also was to download a ROM for my cellphone, a firmware that was for Claro Argentina.
GT-I9500 Galaxy S 4
PDA: I9500UBUBMG1
CSC: I9500UWABMG1
MODEM: I9500UBUBMG1
Then I got my cellphone back, and here started my worries:
1) Vol Down + Menu + Power don't get me to the Download mode, instead I got to a "Factory mode" in chinese, or some Asian languaje, wich of course I don't understand. So had to change my strategy to root.
2) KIES does not recognice my cellphone, in fact, my device name in the PC is similar to "Android MT65** device". The "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones" does not much I can say Had to change it one more time
3) Downloaded SnapPea, cellphone on USB Debug mode, plugged, everything seemed to be fine, and then I should have recieved the RSA key on my android... nothing. I turned ON and OFF the USB debbuging mode at least 100 times, cellphone plugged, unplugged, turned on and off the phone, restarted the computer, uninstaled Samsung drivers, uninstaled "Android MT65** device". NOTHING, never got that ask box. So I couldn't use Impactor
4) Time for some PdaNet, tried version 4.15, 4.01 and 3.00. I tried not reinstalling the drivers, reinstalling the drivers, uninstalling manually every single android driver on my PC, tried with Samsung and Other. All I got what, in version 4.01 and 3.00 "Error trying to handshake the device", and with the lastest version: HTC Sync error = -1. I didn't even have HTC installed, but i downloaded and installed it just to say "hey, I've done it, now what will be your excuse?". from this point on I got no more idea to go, but I kept searching, and I could do nothing.
Now, there are some details i want to share with you about my "Samsung Galaxy S4" if I can call it like that.
1) My boot logo is not Samsung GT-I9500 and whatsoever, it is a green Android and "Android" written below, and then a blue thing flying arround a blue android.
2) My battery last TOO little, in use with Wi-Fi and playing, it can last 3, 4 hours at 100% charge. Sometimes it doesn't charge to 100%, and usually it shuts down (and I don't mean the "shutting down" message, no, it's like it dies from one second to another) between 15% and 13%, never seen less than 12%, and sometimes even before telling me "low battery". But well, that can be a battery problem, at least I can try to download something to regulate battery consumption, or if you can suggest something.
3) This one is funny: My storage settings:
Internal Storage:
Total: 12.98 GB
Aviabable: 89 MB
Applications: 785 MB
Cache: 21 MB
SDCard:
Total: 17.90 GB (Hey, I didn't know my old 2GB SDCard could do that!)
Aviabable: 474 MB
App: 832 MB
Images: 704 KB
Downloads: 1 MB
Cache: 55 MB
Hilarious, isn't it. I thought it was a smartphone.
4) Something I crossed just wondering... my IMEI: 2222222222222222 / 01 (I don't know if I placed the right number of 2s, but you get the idea)... never on my life saw that.
5) All the "Samsung S4" features are not present on this phone. (all those fancy apps that starts with Samsung)
Well, I think thats all what's relevant. What can I do? Can I flash my cellphone, install a CWM, get the Download mode instead that chinese factory mode, get the root access, and install a Claro ROM? What cellphone do I have? D:
And here I list you my cellphone info, as descripted by the android system itself, and Antutu Benchmark.

Well, thats all guys. Thanks in advance Oh and sorry for my bad english.
Hi,
sorry you have a fake Samsung! Nothing in the Samsung forums is relevant to your phone and experience from other fake galaxy threads there Is no one can help you either. So don't be surprised if no one jumps in to help.
In fact don't be surprised if there are certain members abusing you either as it has happened before.
Sorry fellow xda member.

This forum is for people that have genuine samsung s4 models.
The selling price tells you that it MAY be a fake at first view:
US $128.25 - 135.0
Here in Vietnam.
Sorry Man
But just in order to help you it seems your IMEI (IMEI: 22222222222222222 ) is wrong and your phone is messed somewhere. So no phone call are possible.
You bought it from DHGate. Nuff said. Definitely a fake I'm afraid mate.

Hello XDA...
Ive been reading up on this for a few days and im confused and curious.
My IMEI is showing unknown in about device / status and entering *#06# into the dialer shows / 17. The weird thing is 4g LTE, MMS, SMS, and phone calls all work. I got the phone off of eBay already Sim unlocked. Since then I have rooted the phone and updated to official 4.4.4.
I did some research and I read that the IMEI is stored in the nv_data.dat file which I do not have in my efs/imei directory. I use Root Explorer and I have it set to show hidden files. As I said I got the phone off of eBay so I don't know if it was unlocked using a code, a box, or if it was factory unlocked.
Here is what im wondering.
#1. When you sim unlock a phone does the nv_data.dat file disappear? (This might depend on the method? Maybe? IDK...)
#2. Does 4.4.4 handle the storage of the IMEI differently? If so how does it store it.
#3. Can I get the IMEI to show up again?
I do know my IMEI as it is on the sticker behind the battery along with the model number and serial number. But why android isn't showing it is really bothering me.
Additional Information that might help.
Model = SGH-I337 (AT&T Branded)
Android Version = 4.4.4
Rooted = Yes
Busy Box = Yes
Baseband version = I337UCUFNJ4
IMEISV = 17
Carrier = NET10 (Using NET10 AT&T Sim)
If additional info is needed please ask. I have tried to give all the info I could think of that would be useful to this question.
Thanks in advance for your time and patience.
Please somebody help to modify firmware to enable international GPRS connections
What we currently have:
1. Mi Bunny Watch Q is Working on MT6261 SOC
2. Operating system is modified 2011 year Nucleos RTOS, which was widely used in older featurephones
3. Firmware is not available for separate downloading. Watch updating is OverTheAir (via Bluetooth connection from your smartphone with original APP, and, PROBABLY via GPRS connection) firmware files are called
SH08_PCB01_gprs_MT6260_S00.MAUI_11B_W13_08_MP_V15.bin
My current firmware version is MAUI.11B.W13.08.MP.V15
updates are downloaded from http://upgrade.imibaby.net/upgradeWatch
also you can find http://sw105-online.imibaby.net/ link in firmware - probably for watch activation
All we have now - full ROMdump of my watch divided to parts with Readback Extractor mtk
Also we can get acess to NVRAM and FAT partition with MauiMETA_v9.1635.23 tool (you need NVRAM database file for MT6261 chip - i've gt one from Keneksi X8 firmware kit ( or from official site ) also i have used scatter file from Keneksi to download ramdump with SP Flash Tool
Also there is good tool Binwalk which i don't know how to use well
4. Watch activation procedure looks like: ( english user manual for similar product )
-turn on the watch (lights on and sound prompt)
-insert SIMcard (sound prompt)
-----------we are currently here------------------
-GPRS connection is automatically established
-and watches time should set up the time (you get a sound prompt) /what notifies server of pairing ready status/ - this should be a sign and confirmation of successful internet connection
-you scan QR code in your user-manual (smartphone receives pairing settings from server) and establish connection between smartphone and WATCH
...
5. Watch officially supports only Chinese SIM cards. Confirmed by manufacturer. Chinese cellular operators settings are preinstalled. MNC MCC and APN can be found in firmware like 460 46000 46002 46007 etc
i have tryed to change MCC and MNC to my operators (25501) (my operator supports any APN so i got luck here)
and have got a breakthrough here - watch began to establish GPRS connections via "internet" APN
but no luck - time is not set up, i've got no "successful connection" sound prompt, and it is still impossible to activate it.
I have contacted manufacturer via Weibo and WeChat.
Everywhere i got refused with corporate security reasons, BUT at the very beginning i think some very helpful manager answered and tryed to give help (later he disappeared)
He requested from me to fill up XML form with my cellular operator's settings and sent image explaination
Hello,Mr Pumpkin
There is some instructions you can follow.
First,please make sure the sim card support calling in or calling out.
Secondly,be sure the sim card supports 2G GPRS connection.
You can consult the local operators about specific parameters.
The "code" parameter and "apn" parameter in the following table must be filled in correctly.
The other parameters are alternative.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <Account>
- <AcntHdr>

There is excellent site with lots of information
https://www.dr-lex.be/hardware/china_phone_flashing.html
Also some discussion is going on MIUI forum and russian 4pda forum
International Apn settings
The answer from the Chinese manufacturer is an xml file that we should add to the device ROM. It is not so different to the following thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387346
I have my bunny watch 2, that I have paired during a visit to Sz, and will try to add the xml file today. Hopefully we can get a connection.

Excellent desicion! I will try to do it.
I can assume, that developer didn't offered me this thing because we actually don't have access to ROM. We can get there only with MAUI META tool. Also the watch is not based on Android, so we will have to find correct folder to place the file and guess correct name for it.
Also XML should be specifically formatted, and we have this format from developer.
Easier said than done, but still I got some progress today.
After reviewing the ROM I was able to find several At commands to control the device.
I'm missing the sintaxis on many of them, but I was able to directly perform and receive a call from the Hyper terminal.
I named the xml file default.xml and placed on the root directory and several others but no luck achieving a Apn configuration.
Also I browsed the fat and nvram looking for hints on how the device was configured while using the Chinese card, but no luck there.
If I'm able to find the device configuration At command it should be pretty straightforward.
Just as a note, the App is fully Chinese, no options on the menu are translated.

Some of terminal AT+ commands work excellent (like ATD Most interesting one is AT+DEBUG_ON and AT+DEBUG_OFF it changes usb connection type. ( With debug on you will get 2 usb devices (usb com, and modem)
About app - i have translated it to russian, if it can help )
Connecting outside of china
Well, today I got connection from outside of China.
I played with several of the At commands that were supposed to actually configure the settings, and all seemed to make the terminal hang.
But after rebooting the phone it got a connection. Now it's fully working.
I used the AT+CGDCONT command.
Then I reviewed again the Fat to look for changes and the only file that was modified is store_info. Dat file.
That file was loaded in the same back up you made, with China Mobile settings, and now mine has got the unicom settings.
For the information it contains it looks fairly similar to the format the engineer gave you a solution for.

Excellent news. Now i just would like to have some more details, on how i could repeat your success.
AT+CGDCONT is not working for me - no answer from watch to this command.
Can you provide some more info. What MCC and MNC does your cellular operator has? What version of firmware do you use.
Did you actually implemented any changes to your firmware?
Which terminal software do you use? Which COM device you selected? Was DEBUG mode active?
Or what should i do to get my watch connected?
Thank you.

Did you connected with a Chinese Sim card and then changed it to a foreign one?
So I first activated my device in China with a Xiaomi Sim card.
Then traveled back to Hk, and tried with Hk local China unicom, China Mobile and three Sim cards. None worked.
Then I tried the at command for setting up the Apn settings on the device. The commands would not give an OK response, so I do not know exactly which one worked.
Then rebooted the device, and it can connect with Three and China mobile cards. UNICOM still not working.
I saw the change in the file mentioned above. It changed from one operator to the other.
HK is not so far from China, so i think there could be native support for your operators.
Anyway, could you please provide other then China Mobile store_info.dat file from your FAT partition, and a ROMdump to compare. I think you have a more fresh watch firmware. Thank you
Today I'm in China so I will not be able to upload the files to a G drive location, tomorrow I should be able to upload them.
I have bought a new device today (this time the mini GPS, 6261 based) and done a backup before the network registration and after.
I can confirm that all changes are happening to the file named "store_info.dat", and all the new data is matching to the xml format you were given. But written on a low level way inside the .dat file.
The GPRS - APN settings are independent of the GSM settings. So you will need 2G settings for your local operator, be sure you are registered in the network by performing a call to your SIM Card number then modify the store_info file with your specific operator parameters. Be sure to do this on the Hex editor so file length is constant after your perform the modification.

I am bothered with MCC and MCC settings. All i can see in DAT file is apn for internet wap and mtp, but no readable data about cellular operator
Update: i have sniffed through the firmware again, and i got that China, Hong-Kong and Taiwan are natively supported by the watch... Probably you will get some problems with diferrent cellular operators, but all 3 MCC codes 460 466 and 454 are in firmware
If you keep looking in the firmware, just bellow the MCC codes you will actually find the APN settings. Keep searching to the bottom of the file and you will find the W. A. P... U. N.I.C.O.M... C.H.I.N.A...M.O.B.I.L.E part of the string, that means that beside replacing your MMC on the top of the file above by replacing the 460, 466, 454 codes, you also have to look toward the end of the file and replace the 460000, 454000, 46600 codes with your combination of MCC and MN settings.
Since you cannot add length to the file, remember to find an operator WAP setting that will fit in the current.

all of them? - i was trying all of this, except editing DAT file
Please, share your DAT file
Also please, tell me MCC and MNC of your HK cellular network, on which you have managed to make everything work (perferably for the first time with your watch)
By the way, sniffing around MTK6261 source code led me to interesting things
setting are really preinstalled
custom_config_account.c file from "Source_code_of_6261\code_6261A_L1\custom\common" gives a clue.
I think for now - i have to chose one cellular operator, and fix all it's settings to fit my needs
Yes! I did it!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!

Time to sum up progress.
Activation option #1
Have your Chinese Seller activate the device using a Chinese Sim card before shipping, and this should ensure full communication in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan. (460.466.454) and possibly in the following places:
208 - France, 404 - India, 405 - India, 454 - Hong Kong, 455 - Macao, 466 - Taiwan, 502 - Malaysia, 505 - Australia, 510 - Indonesia, 515 - Philipines, 520 - Thailand, 525 - Singapore.
Given that MCC codes for several operators in those countries are included in the list inside the FW.
If you are choosing this way, you need to remember the device is only 2G - GMS 900/1800 compatible, so before you waste time, ensure you carrier is compatible. Australia has just dumpled 2G support so don't even try.
You can execute the following AT code before purchasing the SIM card, and it will tell you the carriers that the device could possibly connect: AT+COPS=?
It will reply the MCC Codes and operator name, with that information you can look for a valid unlocked and activated sim card.
Since device was activated in china it will easily go trough the regular process of scanning the QR code and adding the device to your APP.
Activation Option #2.
Modifiy the MCC parameters inside the FW and include your specific operator details.
FlammingPumpking, you can help us comment on how you succeed with activation.
I've got the permanently unlocked T-mobile US version (Snapdragon 835) of the Galaxy S8.

That might not be possible as you'd have to be running a supported firmware with localised csc

The Samsung Pay will work for standard card types like MasterCard, Visa and AMEX as long as your bank supports it. But local card types like Maestro, Rupay, Paytm or any other won't work. I have Unlocked Australian S8 and I have already linked my CitiBank Credit card and ICICI Bank Debit card.
Thanks
Reset your phone and then boot while an Indian sim is in your phone. This will change the CSC to India but I'm not sure if you'll get updates!

I have a Samsung Gear S3 bluetooth version got it from USA where i was trying to add the credit card. Same as you i have ICICI Bank Debit and Credit card which i was able to add successfully. But I have an CitiBank credit card for which i am unable to add. My feeling is while the filling of card details it asks for 5 digit postal code which is as per US but for india its 6 digit (not sure how it worked for ICICI though ), So will you be able to help me how you were able to add and is there a workaround that i can use to solve this issue.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Arun
I do have Gear S3, but I don't use the Samsung Pay on gear. The reason you couldn't add could be because, Gear S3 Samsung Pay is different app (light weight) than the one in the Galaxy Devices. I don't know any workarounds. Sorry.
Thanks

It took a little hunting around the forums to find all of the information, plus I ran into a few things while I was doing it that didn't seemed to be mentioned elsewhere so I thought I would summarise it all below for us noobs.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
------------------------
NetOdin3
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3588062
Combination Firmware
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74600026&postcount=26
Your current stock firmware (in my instance, R760XXU2BQC5)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3588062
Your CSC code

A PC with a WiFi connection
INSTRUCTIONS:
----------------
1. Check reactivation lock is off
- On your phone, go to Samsung Gear App
- Go to Setttings Tab, choose "Find my Gear"
- Make sure Reactivation Lock is off
2. Connect your watch to your PC
- Hold down the home/power button until you see the "rebooting" screen
- Release the home/power button then quickly press it three times to bring up the boot menu
- Quick press the home/power button to cycle through the menu to "Download (wireless)"
- Long press the home/button to confirm the menu selection
- The phone will then go into WPS mode
- Double press the home/power button to change to AP mode
- On your PC, enable WiFi and connect to the access point on you watch.
NOTE: Until you successfully connect to NetOdin, your watch may display red text stating "Connection Timeout" - this is OK
- Open up NetOdin. You should now be connected to your watch (you should see the IP in the NetOdin window and "Connected to xx.xx.xx.xx" on your watch face.
NOTE: I had to disable Windows Defender public firewall temporarily for NetOdin to work properly
3. Flash combination firmware
- Load the unzipped .tar.md5 file into the "AP" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking then click "Start". This should take about 10 minutes to complete after clicking "Start".
NOTE: I had left "Automatic reboot" ticked in Odin, so once it completed the watch restarted. No issue, except had to go through step 2 to reconnect the watch to the PC before proceeding to the next step
4. Flash CSC file from stock firmware
- Load the unzipped CSC_xxx.tar.md5 file into the "CSC" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking then click "Start". This should take about 1-2 minutes to complete after clicking "Start".
5. Factory reset
- In your Gear, go to Settings > Gear Info > Reset Gear > Confirm
NOTE: I got a warning at this stage that Reactivation Lock was on. Don't know why I got this message as I had definitely turned it off in step 1. I ignored it (no guts, no glory!) and was fine. Your mileage may vary
6. Set CSC code
- In the Gear, go to the Tizen Keystring app
NOTE: screenshots of what your interface will look like https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74591475&postcount=13)
- Type in the following code exactly: *#272*719434266344#
- You will be taken to a list of CSC codes that you can scroll through. Find the code you want to change to and select it. I used "XSA".
7. Reflash complete current stock ROM
- Load the unzipped CSC_xxx.tar.md5 file into the "CSC" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking.
- Load the unzipped AP_xxx.tar.md5 file into the "AP" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking.
- Load the unzipped BL_xxx.tar.md5 file into the "BL" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking.
- Click "Start". This should take about 15 minutes to complete after clicking "OK".
You are done!
After this, my Gear picked up the OTA update to Tizen 3.0.0.1
So after all of this effort, NAB doesn't currently support Samsung Pay, so I can't 100% confirm this will work, but everything I've read says it should.

I got Gear S3 delivered from Amazon yesterday in India since I was desperate about SPay I tried and followed above method to change CSC and enable SPay. Everything went smooth but now it says "unauthorized modifications have been made to this device". I guess Knox has been tripped. I don't know how, But Samsung Health is working fine.
Now I have requested for a replacement of the same device from Amazon. Can anybody let me know the safest method to enable spay on Indian Gear Device?
Galaxy Gear S3 Frontier
Was in Tizen 3 and got updated to Tizen 4 after combi flash and CSC change.
Gear Model: R760.
Can anybody let me know the safest method to enable spay on Indian Gear Device?
