The instructions for Invalid SIM after unlock in the Helpfile say to use Repair Meid task. This does not seem to be working when i plug the C3300K cable and enter *#0*# with phone connected. *#0808* does not work, only ##3424# works for UART->PDA and Qualcomm USB settings for MTP+ADB. I get this with UART READINFO:

I had the same problem. My phone picked up service right away after I flashed mj4 modem. If your IMEI is clean, it should work. of course you ahev to enable GCF also. *** luck

Will it brick or bootloop the phone? And how do i enable GCF? I know how to flash the modem but i want to make sure it wont harm anything including KNOX.

I won't brick the phone and I dont think it will trip knox.

here is how to enable GCF

Dial *#0011# and in the service menu do the following

Click (menu) then (key input) then input Q then (Ok)
Click (menu) then (back)
Click (menu) then (key input) then input 0000 then click (Ok)

Wait for about 15 seconds then a menu will pop up, from there follow these procedures:

Click (UMTS) then (DEBUG SCREEN) then (PHONE CONTROL) then (NETWORK CONTROL) then (GCF) then the top option. From there you may press the home button and go to Settings and change the mobile networks to either Automatic or GSM.

So after i flashed the MJ4 Modem file i got no more "Invalid SIM" message. Thats good, and for the GCF settings they were already enabled. The menu was a lot different then the way you said but all in all it doesn't show "Invalid SIM" anymore. I am able to select GSM or automatic settings. I don't have a active SIM to test it with but shouldn't the SIM's carrier name show up in settings? I have a AT&T SIM and a Metro SIM i tried and neither will show the carrier name in settings. Is there a way to tell if the unlock was a success besides an active SIM? I have heard i should re-do the unlock too after flashing the modem. Also, KNOX remained 0x0.

Thanks for you guys help.

You are welcome.

The only way I use is try with an active simcard. I am positive your phone is unlocked now.

U don't need to redo the unlock.

Thanks again, ill post back when i borrow an active SIM.

[Stunman112]

So i did try an active SIM through AT&T and i got no service, nor any notice that i was even connected to the network. It was on GSM mode and nothing. I decided to try the unlock once again with GCP and it was success again but still seems to not be unlocked. Any idea? Btw i still have the MJ4 modem and no "Invalid SIM" notification.

I just noticed that the imei in settings is a bad imei. Its blocked/lost. I guess that is why the unlock still hadn't worked after i flashed the MJ4 modem. Question is now do i have any other options left for using this device on a GSM carrier? I would like to just write a new .cert and be done with it but i cannot get this phone to show up in Read-Info [UART]
