T-mo S5 is unlocked bootloader. I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile and have never been happier, and I am a AT&T employee.

When you made the jump did you have att next? If so did you pay extra to give in your att phone back?

I had a Note 3 that I paid outright for. when you cancel with AT&T you just need to pay off the balance on your phone with the next program.

Also T-Mobile will buy that AT&T phone from you I do beleive if you don't want to keep it so you probably wont have to pay anything out of pocket, I know t-mobile pays to get you out of a contract, I don't know if that would cover the balance of a next plan?
Thankyou for the reply. Very much appreciated.

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.

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.

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.

Let's all sign this, guys! I just find the whole process of flashing a P760 kdz on a P769 ridiculous and unnecessary.
This is laziness on LG's part and I think it's disrespectful to us as consumers. They can try to pass the blame to the carriers but ultimately, they manufacture the device and we purchased it.
They should have asked the people that ensure a steady profit for approval and not another greedy corporation. Let's sign.

You are probably addressing the wrong people. LG doesn't really care. It's T-Mobile who requested to lock be bootloader, LG cannot go against it. They may unlock p760/65 although I don't really know how they are sold in Europe and what are the pricing models. P769 is very unlikely, T-Mobile will not do it because they sell this phone very cheap (been seen for $150 on Amazon) and without their plans. It's their way to screw it up as much as they can and lower its perceptive value so people would go for more expensive phones and plans.
I chatted with a T-Mobile rep not too long ago and he told me that the manufacturer is responsible for releasing the unlock token.
The cheap phone thing doesn't make sense, though. You can easily unlock the very cheap Huawei Summit and load CyanogenMod 7.2 on it. I did it for my mom's Summit.

If you genuinely can't be bothered to flash the KDZ and make it work, you probably don't need an unlocked boot loader. The fact that they unlocked the P760 allowed all of us to get unlocked bootloaders and I think that's plenty enough.

I've asked that question before, Sprint's sim is different size from other carriers, according to people in here replies.

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.
