this app wont work on newer phones. I still had the old HW version and it still didnt work.
gain root access and then just download this app by helroz and follow the on-screen instructions, fast an easy.

Sprint, huh?
Before you do something you regret, you should go to the correct forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
This post is currently in the i9100 forum, a device that doesn't even work on Sprint's network.
Edit to add: also, due to the nature of how Sprint's network works, using the phone on a different network is complicated at best. In any case, you won't find the answers you seek here. Go to the Epic 4g Touch forum I linked.

Hi, I have been reading some posts in the Radio thread reporting that they are using the T-mobile Modem. It was unclear whether they had it working on the T-mobile network or just using the modem on the ATT network.
Is there anyone here using the Galaxy Note on T-mobiles 1700Mhz AWS 3G band and getting internet and sms and everything no problem?
I just want to make sure before I go out and purchase one for a lot of money and not have it working.
I will test it once my Note comes in on Wednesday.
My plan is to unlock it here [ http://www.cellunlocker.net/ ], then Odin a t989 modem and test away.
If anyone already has a Note is willing to try this then go for it.
The Att Note does NOT use the 1700mhz band for AWS. I am on my phone but if you want a link Engadget wrote a whole article on it.

Yes, because out of the box it doesn't work. The skyrocket required a t989 modem, so its safe to say this does also.
Now it very well could still not work even after a modem flash... but its worth a try

easy to say it's worth a try when it's not your money
my advice to the OP.....save your cash, wait for some other guy with money to burn to try it. Maybe itsjusttim would be kind enough to bust out the greenies to give it a whirl

Can people please stop referring to the Engadget post. All they are saying is that it will NOT work by just unlocking it out of the box. Please see I have posted some questions for Myriam on Engadget that posted that article and she said this article was only meant out of the box in her replies since most people will not root and stuff she was simply talking about out of the box.

No idea, to my knowledge I don't think any non-T-Mobile has worked with WiFi calling, but then again... I have not done enough research on the subject.

I don't believe that one would work.. our best bet for that is to have a developer who is partial to T-Mobile and takes the version from the t989 and adds it to a rom.
I'm sure it could be done, but we would have to convince a dev to help.

The easiest way would simply be to root the Galaxy S2, try using the zerg rush exploit and when you get root, everything is quite easy to do.
The long method will be going back to an earlier version of ROM that is directly rootable. Head over to the Galaxy S2 forums, there are tons of info on how to do that.

@OP, this is the I9100 forum, you do not have an I9100 and any advice people give you here is likely to be for the wrong device, like above, and likely to make your situation much worse.

Wrong forum, AND it sounds like he bought a device that is locked due to the PIN being mis-entered too many times. Possibly a stolen or lost device that someone hocked on eBay to try to make money off a poor, unsuspecting soul. (The OP, in this case, unfortunately)
This is what I am suspecting.
I am filing paypal case tomorrow morning and I don't want to be wrong side of law.

How come it's Wi-Fi only if it's ASKS for a SIM-card!? It means it's 3G+WiFi

I doubt that. Im pretty sure its the user not the tablet with problems.
Some roms were asking for sim althow wifi onlly were displaying missing sim. Most instalations will ask u either u have WIFI or 3g flyer; or there can be 3g removal tools for diferent roms. _U first really need to pick wih one want as they all should be sutable.

As far as I'm aware, the Sprint Mega, like many Sprint devices, are strictly CDMA. The only exception I can think of is Crapple products which can be GSM unlocked with something called a GEVEY SIM which in my experience isn't exactly reliable. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the SIM card in most Sprint devices only controls the 4G LTE so it's sorta GSM but not really. My suggestion would be to look into getting the phones "flashed", or reprogrammed for another carrier. Here in my locality flashing CDMA devices to nTelos is extremely popular, as they have a $45 unlimited everything plan with no real data cap. They simply do a SLIGHT throttle after around 15GB. There are several other CDMA prepaid companies across the US. The only nationwide ones I can think of are Pageplus, Selectel, and maybe Straight Talk. All offer low cost unlimited plans. Some have data caps and throttling, but pretty good bang for the buck! Should you decide to try and flash for yourself, Wireless Workshop offers a "trial" account, if you can provide any kind of company information. We use them at our store and they can flash pretty much any major handset. All said and done, look into flashing those to a prepaid carrier, as these are AWESOME phones. Good luck!

Dude don't go telling everyone about how Sprint phones are strictly cdma. Im tired of people on these forums spreading misinformation. This is not the year 2008. Back then all Sprint phones were strictly cdma. Not so today and yes the Sprint mega has gsm capability. It's even listed in the settings, but is greyed out. So the Sprint galaxy s4 is strictly cdma too? Lol go do your homework.
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
"as far as I'm aware"
I was simply offering what I did/did not know for sure, and some information for a way to take it to another carrier that I DO know about. For one, I've never had a fully operational Mega in my hand to see that it offered a greyed out GSM menu in the settings. My bad, dude. :good:
In fact, I'm trying to resurrect one right now. Software is totally borked.
Anyway, good luck figuring out the GSM unlock!

I successfully unlocked the Mega to work on T-Mobile as well as the Sprint Note 3, Sprint Note 2 and Sprint S5
I'm working on making a program to UICC unlock the device without having to call Sprint to get it internationally unlocked, I also have a program that will open the service menu option to reprogram the phone if you cannot reach it through dialer codes.
Quite simple once you get the whole process down.
