I have unlocked bootloader, root, S-off, had been on Trickdroid 8.0 ROM.
Then I purchased SIM unlock from www.chronicunlocks.com (the best unlock service I know of)
Then I removed SIM card to use in different phone. Then installed 4.3 Developer Edition ROM, in preparation for selling phone.
When it booted up, it offered me the Dropbox deal, so of course I accepted. I now have 25GB more Dropbox space for the next 2 years!
I'm thinking because there was no SIM in phone, and phone was carrier unlocked, and international ROM installed, the AT&T restriction was bypassed, Dropbox had no way of knowing that the phone was not the international version.
So, for $24.95 I got an unlocked phone and 25GB more Dropbox space!
YMMV.
It was just the custom ROM. I unlocked my phone right away ($3 from eBay), rooted, and s-off, but didn't get anything. Then I installed a custom ROM (ARHD) and the next time I opened Dropbox I was immediately offered the 25 GB 2 year bonus.

Hi,
I just got an HTC ONE T-Mobile and I unlocked it. But now I would like to delete all the T-Mobile settings and Apps. So I thought about flash the HTC ONE with a Stock Rom from HTC or Google. But I'm a little bit lost. I'm new on Android. I was 5 years with Apple products and now i'm tired and I fell in love with that phone. So I trade my IPhone 5 64go for the HTC ONE 32go Also the guy didn't pay his bill for T-Mobile so that's why I unlocked it to put my new carrier. I don't know how to fix that problem if a day I want to go back to T-Mobile (but supossedly he still paying for it).
Thanks for your time.
Eventually that phone is going to be black listed from all U.S. carriers. He's not going to continue paying for a phone he doesn't have anymore, and there is nothing you can do to the phone that will hide the fact that it's associated with that non-payment. You made a mistake. Never buy a used phone, especially knowing it it's not paid off.
As said above ^ . Once black listed by one company it will begun to get black listed by the others.
Cellphone cairries have really crack down on stolen/ non paid phones.
But as far as the Rom goes, your need to root it and then flash a HTC Google Rom.
I checked the IMEI and it's not blacklisted. I'll see with the time. Can I flash my HTC with a stock rom without all the T-Mobile stuff and the boot logo T-Mobile like a Htc stock rom with OTA or a Google version OTA?

Yes. You might need to change CID/MID to get OTAs though.
I'm no phone expert but I have been following this thread for over a year with the intention of unlocking my Sprint Note 3. I waited three months and got Sprint to internationally unlock it but then destroyed my phone. So I just got a new Note 3 today.
I definitely want to do the DarkLord N5 ROM change to make it essentially a Note 5. galaxynote3root.com/sm-n9005-galaxy-note-3-roms/how-to-convert-galaxy-note-3-into-note-5/2/
So I plan to ask Spring to internationally unlock this phone and *someday* I might want to get it domestically unlocked and use another carrier using the method in this thread. (Although I'm happy with Sprint for now as my bill is only $30/mo for 1GB - as I use mostly wifi- because they put me on a family plan with other people I don't even know!)
Is there anything I should know about doing both of these mods and is there an order I should do them or will I have to undo/redo one or the other?
Thanks!
Jim
yesterday I got the S7 from a guy for the price of $420 sprint locked and sealed.
i got 2 sims. VZW and AT&T.
i went ahead and order the $7 unlock from ebay and texted him after i follow the requirements which is from PE1 downgrade to PC5. in less than 5mins the phone was unlocked as i can see him working remotely. putting my VZW and AT&T sim will not work even you factory reset. quite frustrating right? so what i did is load this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/xda-community-love-g930u-t3415875
now my phone is so amazing. AT&T sim worked and has LTE. the VZW sim worked and i can see it has volte on the menu!
every sim you switch it will ask to restart then the phone will automatically configured. no need to add APN
hope this will help. i can root this but NO thanks, i love Samsung pay!
oh by the way, i bought a soda on the vending machine and quickly Samsung gave me a $20 promotion from some outlets you choose

be careful, first time I bought the unlocked on ebay was a fluke.. for some reason he asked me to downgrade from PC5 then he unlock it. to my surprise when I load the "U" software on ODIN the phone locked again and invalid sim! so I asked for a refund.
find on ebay that they can unlocked even if you are on the latest software like P2F above. if they can do it without downgrading that means this is "permanent"
hope it helps.

thankss... for ur rply ...
unlock through z3x is parmanent so i do so ....... i update it to u firmware and it working well .... but only volte calls not working on "'jio'' network .....
Were there any physical spec differences between the U model and other carrier locked model? And why people are trying to flash the U firmware?
I bought a G930U refurb and paid extra (could've bought a Sprint P version new off CL), and kinda regretted doing so. SIM unlock can be bought as low as $7 for a Sprint version, also seems like P version can flash with U firmware as well. I checked Samsung's own site, and seems U version even has less supported bands (i.e. band 25 was not listed for U, but was there for P)
My intention was to get prepared when I bail out from Sprint next spring, I can go with any MVNO without restriction.
Please share some thoughts. Maybe I should've bought a P version and invested $7 to SIM unlcok?
Can you get LTE on T-Mobile?
I ended up paying for the unlock and it went well. Flashed the G930U and still worked. But i ended up finding a newer g930u firmware to flashed that and it ended up locking the phone again. Idk if it has to do with maybe the wrong Product Code build or that. might try to unlock again
Worked this rom for g93op?

I have the sprint version as well. I currently have this firmware G930PVPS4APK1. Was this the same firmware you had when you started this process?
I finally got out of my contract with Sprint, It took me close to a week to get all 7 phones unlocked and or MSL numbers for my phones.
I was wondering if this would get rid of the "checking device status" i constantly get no matter how many times I force close the app.
Thanks

Did you ever end up flashing U onto your G930P?
I'm in a similar boat here with a newly bought-out and unlocked S7 from Sprint. I want to flash U on there and the T-Mobile radios, since I'm now on their network, but I've read some posts about losing unlock after flashing a new firmware, particularly G930U.
As you can imagine, given how much of a hassle it was dealing with Sprint and getting a full unlock, I am hesitant to disrupt whatever cosmic forces have aligned to bring me to my current state of a working, unlocked phone.
Not at the present, I purchased package disabler pro from the play store. I just disabled all the bloat ware and disabled the activation process and to be honest I don't have any need to change the os at this time. I did find another thread in the forums that tells you how to root the pk1 firmware if that helps.
Hey guys. I sim unlocked and am on PL6. I have att mvno, H20. Do i need to flash a u firm? Do i need to update to nougat? Have you guys tried custom roms? I sim unlockes because a guy sold me a phone with an unpaid sprint balance, esn is good though. How do i tell if my data is coming from sprint or my mvno. I think he still has this phone active on his account.
I can do the Unlocks for donations . Pm me , If your able to have it rooted first it helps a lot but not necessary

VoLTE and Spay work with this.
back in aug i bought a s9+ sprint version, when i bought it i poped in my tmobile sim and it has worked fine no issues, i have no idea if the phone has been paid off or not but i havent had any issues for 6+ months, but when i click the UICC unlock it says error cannon be completed internal error 407, do i just go ahead and install the t-mobile rom? or is there any benifit of using an international rom or something? also is there any way i can check if my device has an upaid ballance?
Call Sprint, if the phone is paid for they can remove the UICC lock (Best Buy did this on my S7 when I traded it in for the S9+).
