[Q] Activating unlocked Z2 - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Z2 is coming in today, so I'll be switching from my AT&T Note 3. Anything special I need to do? Do I just pop the sim card in from the Note 3, or do I need to mess w/ the APN info?
Thanks,
Praz

That won't work if your trying to flash a bad esn phone is there a better method to retrieving the msl than contacting sprint.
Can you please tell me the steps please thanks in advanced

You need to get the MSL code from sprint...as there is no easy solution getting it just now...if your phones legit use sprint chat..if not try to message schnergun as mentioned in the quote above this one

Hi insane, this tool works for msl, I used it on my sprint Note 3
http://tools.flashingtools.com/SPCUtility.apk
I also HIGHLY recommend Go sms for mms settings. When all else fails, it works!
Lastly, maybe you can help me. since you are flashed to Cricket, did you (and if you did), get rid of the "No sim" error? If so, how did you get rid of it?
Thanks and good luck!

[DEV] Galaxy S5 Service Codes/ Sim Unlocking (Like we did on the S4)

Hoping to get a couple people to help explore the options for SSIM Unlocking our S5's in a similar manner to the way we achieved it on the S4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283068
This post here had the Service codes -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41237580&postcount=7
I tried all of them and the important menu, #7 UMTS is absent due to the *#27663368378# Being disabled.
I forget if there was a LIST or way to dump the service code lists from a rooted device. Will constantly update with progress/ MODS, not allowd in this section? Move it please.
Let the work begin.

No stress. We will get this one figured out in a hurry. I have another S5 in transit to use for dev purposes.
Would be sweet if it was in plain text like we found on the HTC SENSATION. That wont happen on a Samy device. We can still dream though.

Amen. I'd been doing some minor development for the AT&T I337 and really got sick of the locked bootloader scene.
Anyone find a way to unlock the Sim yet? Been waiting for an unlock that's free and getting from tmobile won't work for us who hasn't paid in full
Same here I'm trying to unlock mine and t mobile won't give me the unlock code, they said to try Craigslist lol, hopefully someone figures it out

Is there something wrong with VZN Note 2s?

Hi Guys,
I was looking to purchase this phone off of ebay for my mom. We are on the t-mobile network but since VZN Note 2s are supposed to be unlocked I was looking at them too. However, I'm looking at them and there are quite a few Verizon Note 2s around/under $200 on Ebay. Is that where the phones value is now? I thought they would be around $250 at least. The one thing all of these have in common are that they are the Verizon models. The tmobile models are still pretty high. Is there something wrong with this model? Are these like those fake chinese clones? Or is the value just at that and I should buy it ASAP? I don't want to throw money down for some random clone

Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob, Does that just mean that custom software can't be installed on it? Like I said my mom is going to be using it so it will probably stay on stock.
Correct, no custom roms or root...depending on what version the phone comes with. What did you mean in your op when you said 'unlocked'?

aren't they unlocked to use sim cards since they are world phones? I know i have to change up the APN to get tmobile data but I don't need to put in random codes or anything right? I'm getting my info from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044449

Step one in that guide says 'ensure your phone has root' That is game over if the note 2 has the latest update. You can't root it.

What about Method 1? Or is that not possible at all cause its a custom rom?
Method 1:
See Adrynalyne's post below (Post #2) for a flashable mod (via custom recovery) that will enable the Add APN menu by removing Verizon's block. (For deodexed roms only)

That requires a deoxed rom, so the note would have to be bootloader unlocked and had a deoxed rom flashed.

Yes they are sim unlocked all you have to do is pop the sim in and add the correct apn's although you'll only get 3g and H+ (no 4G lte)

No offense to that guy but he's wrong bc I and many other put their Verizon note 2 on other carriers with no issues (see forums like note 2 on other carriers there plenty of them)
Now as far as the whole bootloader deal goes for custom rom and root depending on the android version but just to use it stock on another carrier it's sim card unlocked out of the box no root or custom rom needed
I had my Verizon note 2 with a locked bootloader android 4.3 on straight talk (att sim) for months no problems

Go on sammobile and there is an unlock option you can unlock the phone and if you are selling it it will raise the value or you can put any sim in and use that carrier.

You can't use a code to unlock the 900p it's a sprint note. They do over the air unlock that's why I'm trying to see if there is a way around it through rooting.

Need Help Removing Air Watch From Company Phone On Note 4....

Hey,
I have a note 4 from a company I no longer work for. It was in my drawer for almost a year. I played around with it and tried to wipe it but it wouldn't wipe because of Air Watch. I guess I made it worse when I disabled something I shouldn't which I think was the account for it. Now it stays stuck on the screen of Air Watch and do not know how to remove the company guarded info and just put the normal nougat or older os on there. Any help?
