is there a way to unlock the sim part of the phone to use it on a different gsm carrier like on the sprint HTC One?
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I've asked that question before, Sprint's sim is different size from other carriers, according to people in here replies.
i know the htc one and note 3 have the micro sim that other carries provide... but i dont know if i follow the procedure i did when i unlock my one or if it's different...

I tried inserting tmobile sim card, it is giving invalid sim message. And do not display or register to gsm network. Is it possible to flash sm-n900p with other sm-n900 variants?

i called them, they don't do it unless your account is active for at least 90 days. Do you think similar unlock method described here would work?

It doesn't have to be 90 days. I called the same day and did it. If the phone hasnt been active for 90 days they call you back in 48 hours and ask you security questions. Once you hang up the rep will email you the ulock instructions.

As the topic says I am curious if anyone has made the switch to t-mobile and got everything working. There's a thread on the tmo forum about getting the AT&T variant working using QPST but they where asking for the QCN file from our version and I don't know if it's needed or if there's another work around. The AT&T/ TMO thread is here:

The guy that got that working on the att version still needs the qcn. The one he had didn't have all the nv's and was taken with older version qpst. It needs to be 2.7.374 or newer. He's still willing to work on it if you can get that to him.

You will only get edge data unless you are in a reframed area. Right now tmo 4g is on the 1900aws band which the Verizon note doesn't support

Thought the note 2 carried the gsm bands for hspa? Ugh I was hoping to drop Verizon paying 110/mo for a single line is getting ridiculous

They do kind of just not that aws band. If you're in an area with the reframed towers you will 4g I'm not sure about there lte though.
I was only kind if joking though earlier. List your note on craiglist. I got 450 but sold within hours. Go to Walmart and pay 278 on contact with t mobile. Then call t mobile and mitigate your classic plan to a value plan for the 200 fee. You now have 60 a month and 478 for the phone.

I would do that but I am still under contract and the bezel on my note has some nicks from falling out of my pocket before I got a case for it. That's why I am trying to use phone instead of selling.

Just tried switching sim card with a Tmobile friend. Tge Tmobile sim is a regular SIM that is too big for our stock microsim slot. A hardware mod is required or it may just be the fact that the SIM came from a S2.

You do realize that there are various sized SIM cards right? The original VZW LTE phones used the larger SIM card. The iPhone 5 uses a smaller SIM card.
Yes I do, I was just trying to help the OP by bringing this issue to light before he switches

Recently picked up a AT&T htc one off of Craigslist. The phone winded up being blacklisted (My fault for not checking first). Can I use it on tmobile? When I put a tmobile sim in, the unlock code prompt doesn't pop up so I'm assuming someone entered the wrong code too many times. If I run the stock RUU will it reset the counter? Even if I can unlock it will it work on tmobile? I htc dev unlocked it and im on the 1.44 HBOOT so I'd like to try to not update the bootloader so I can S-off. Any help is greatly appreciated.

From what I understand is that AT&T and T-Mobile share their DB for black listed devices so it won't work if that is true. You can give it a shot though.

Hi im currently trying to use this phone in a gsm carrier here in the Dominican Republic.
Of course is region locked when i turn it on with the sim card inside it says invalid SIM card, it doesn't even prompt for the unlock code or anything like it.
Is there a solution for this? I paid full price for this phone and i didn't knew about this thing.

Hello Odinforce,
Is there any solution to use the Sprint note 3 (N900P) in your country? I would like to know any manual process to get it unlocked for GSM carrier, similar like the Verizon note 3 (N900V). If someone knows any information, please let us know. thanks

I'm wondering the same thing. Submitted my req 2nd time in 7 years today. But I do hope there is a way to do this by myself like say the autoprime's great job on S4
It can be done through Sprint. The prices takes 2 days for them to get back to you. They call you back to verify your info then unlock the SIM.

I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure out what carrier will work my Note 3. I bought it for brand new for $300 form someone on cl. I've researched a lot but since I'm not on sprint i cant get it internationally unlocked to use it with gsm networks. So can I flash to use cricket or metro pcs without a sim card? And How would anybody do it themselves?

Cause as of right now, I dont have any carrier, would I have to open up an number?
Correct, you would need to set up service...can't just piggy-back on a network with a deactivated device.
