so as not to make a new topic, I decided to write here
I recently bought SPH-L600 sprint mega with a bad ESN, he came to me activated on Sprint and Sprint have sim I played settings and activation dropped sprint
but I live in another country and I can not activate it!
help somehow activate it! I bought an unlock code network, but said that he needed seller activation sprint!
can anyone knows how to bypass activation sprint?
any help would be much appreciated!
unfortunately the phone needs to be unlocked by sprint in order for the GSM part to work, if you were a sprint customer they will unlock it for you for international use otherwise you pretty much SOL until somebody comes up with an unlock for it

Yes, I agree. You'd better have a try to flash it to CM11.
Can CM11 be flashed to the L600?
everything was decided unlocking

So I did the unlock and put the new sprint rom on it. I then loaded the prl, changed the msl to all 0's. I called verizon to change it from my juke. They told me the esn is not in there database, she had to submit a form to try to get it changed, it will be some days if they do it at all. Is there anything I can do to get this to work on Verizon without them trying to add the esn and it possibly getting denied. I would like to get it up and running today. Does anybody have a way to fix this, that is in noob terms. Thank you in advance!
Yes, you can supercid it and then clone your existing esn onto it.

ok I attempted to clone it to my existing juke phone that I have active on verizon. When i change the esn I get no signal. Even when prl is loaded. When I change the esn back to the stock esn, I get a signal, but verizon won't activate that esn, they called me back and said its a sprint esn and they couldn't activate it. Man I am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. Can anybody offer some help, or post the steps they used to get this working?
any help would be great

vzw hasnt fully made their system open yet. they wont accept an esn that they didnt sell. so no sprint esn will be activated. the only thing you can do is change the esn, but since that makes you not able to get a signal, seems like you might not be doing that right...
i don't understand what im doing wrong
You're not doing anything wrong. Verizon WILL not activate any phone on their network that doesn't have a Verizon ESN. The mogul will run perfectly fine on the network, but because it has a Sprint ESN, they will not activate it. Now...if you're trying to clone the ESN of an existing Verizon phone, that's a whole different story and is quite illegal.
I don't believe that cloning the esn from a juke will work -- because VZW knows the phone type by the esn. It seems that you would need to use an esn from a junk mogul
give it a try?
the phne should at least get a signal from that esn though. It gets nothing! Its like I'm in a no coverage zone
i just activated my sprint motoQ on verizon. they did not question the sprint ESN at all.
flashed a vz image and vz prl, and all is good.

is it possible to use verizon phone for sprint? Then use your rom?

I would love to know this. It would cut my bill by about 75%.
Asking the experts...
I have been reading and following the titan for some time and are ready to purchase. Looking at Verizon vs. Sprint for new device, Verizon is way more expensive. Looking at eBay there are many for Sprint and next to zero for Verizon.
I would like to bid on a "clean ESN" phone for Sprint, then activate on Verizon. Possibly even activate on Sprint for some time then switch. (I have under 2 months left on my contract).
I have found a few that are NIB for a seller and asked for the ESN. He states he gives them only to the winner. I say red flag, but does he have a security issue (I could clone it??)?
And from above, could I do the double activate or if Verizon says it is clean only do it there?
Thanks.
I am also trying to do this. I have the cracking 6800 package, followed the instructions and was able to get the cid to all o's, although i am stuck in CDMA workshop and cant change the ESN because i am not sure what port to connect on( i have tried all them no luck) Anyone with any ideas would help me out alot. Also if the phone is currently unlocked with 2.4 loader but has the sprint 3.35 radio is it safe to flash to a stock verizon rom? Do i need to even do this? I have flashed with a custom rom then selected verizon as my carrier but in EPST config it still shows SPCS.

Hello xda,
I'm looking at purchasing a S3 from eBay and I found a seller that is selling a factory unlocked S3. I'm not sure what that really means for me if I want to use the phone on PagePlus. I have a LG Lucid that has 4G capability so I had to reprogram it to use PagePlus on 3G. I never got MMS or data to work on it but that's another story.
Anyway, what does Factory unlocked really mean in terms of flashing? I like that idea of putting any SIM in the phone and using them without a lock is great and useful.
Is it less work to get the phone to use the Verizon/PagePlus network when it's already unlocked?
Also if getting a factory unlocked S3 is the best way to go for my situation, any help getting the phone flashed would be really appreciated.
Thanks

You probably don't have to much more than what you did before on your Lucid, but idk
Page Plus is a Verizon MVNO, and a CDMA carrier. The i9300 will not work, as it is a GSM only phone. If you want a SGSIII on Page Plus, you need to look for the i535 variant. That is the CDMA release of the SGS III.
Hi all,
I bought a Sprint Note 3 on swappa. Work well no issues BUT I am now travelling overseas and need international unlock.
I asked Ting and they followed up with sprint - the response "they will not unlock for international use"
I am stuck - what can/should I do ? the phone is not rooted. And from various threads I read I need sprint to do the international unlock
(once that's done a domestic unlock would be nice - again threads tell me international unlock needs to be done first)
Can I do this myself ? or is sprint the only one ? (and how come they don't do the unlock ? the IMEI is clean etc...)
thanks, Sammy
SSU app will unlock for non USA sims. Then down grade modem mj4? , to use US sims. More steps to get it all working info is in forums. ting is great wish they could tell sprint to stick it.
thinking about moving to ting this month. so tired of the Sprint bill. they used to be the "cheap" option. not true these days.

PS: any reason sprint doesn't unlock for ting ?
Here's the ssu app thread

And the sprint unlock for domestic sim.

Sprint doesn't want to unlock even if you're paying sprint.
FYI ting says they will have GSM maybe as soon a Feb.
does that mean TING will be able unlock in Feburary
also, if I go the SSU route - can I check before travelling from the USA if the procedure has work.
thanks again.

All the post say it just works. All you have to do is: Go to settings, more networks, mobile networks, access point names, then add an APN settings for the carrier.
If you have the time do the domestic unlock and have it working here before you go.
Ting will resale GSM srrvice from T Mobile, ATT ?
Hello guys ,
As we all know m8 sprint can be unlock via unlock help app. Is there any update about m9 unlock Sprint carrier ?
B.R.
Lots of questions about unlocking lately (myself included), I'd say give it time something will come out.
I just called Sprint and they unlocked SIM for me.
Does it work for domestic? I did the same and mines stillb locked for domestic use.

@SteelH or @Deathsnuggle are you able to dump some partitions for me? You are the only people that I have found that is Sim Unlocked on Sprint.
I have successfully found the partition for GSM devices that contains the Sim Lock information using my AT&T M9. I am now trying to unlock my Sprint M9 (as I do not live in USA).

No Sprint unlock for me
Sprint tells me Im international and domestic unlocked. I still have SIM Lock. I also cant update profile, prl, or UICC unlock. Basically a paper weight. Ive even restored to Sprint/HTC stock. Im out of contract and no longer have Sprint service. Everything is paid in full.

Stifilz, I already messaged you in hangouts. Get with me when you can.
Has anyone found a reliable way to sim unlock the sprint version of this phone yet? I been looking into the threads on XDA and google, doesn't seem like theres a way yet?
Also does anyone know if i'd be able to use this phone on gsm carriers in canada after unlocking?
Thanks for future replies!!
http://www.htcunlockingservice.com/htc-phone-unlock-network/CDMA-EVDO-REV-A--USA--htc-one-m9.htm.htm i found this site for cdma devices, has anyone tried this site b4?
So far none of the methods used for m7 and m8 work. Trying to gather info and see. Any old hand willing to lend some help?
I'm confused, I thought this was a global phone and thus I would be able to pop in a sim from another country and have it work automatically? Either that or be able to get an unlock code directly from sprint. Was I wrong by assuming this? : I'm going out of country in two weeks and more than likely am screwed if this is the case D:
Im not sure but I think this may work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...guide-sim-unlock-lollipop-htc-one-m8-t3074469
Just tell me every details you get
Even if you did find a way to simunlock it it wouldn't do you much good as the Sprint M9 lacks the radio frequencies required to work on most other domestic carriers:
http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/...rock-out-with-their-flagships-for-the-season/
Second, the One M9 was not tested, thus is not authorized for domestic GSM/W-CDMA bands. Rabid phone unlockers under the new Sprint domestic unlocking policy, consider yourselves forewarned.

I bought an HTC One M9 that was supposed to be unbranded and unlocked and turned out to be a Sprint locked phone.
The guy who sold it to me was able to get the unlock codes.. but I am outside the US and trying to unlock the phone requests an update (i assume from the carrier).
But as I am outside of the US i have no link to the carrier..
Is there anyway to force the sim unlock so i can enter the code?
When I put in the sim, it says SIMLock enabled contact customer service.
Sim Unlock Sprint HTC One M9 outside the US?!
Trying to sim unlock the Sprint HTC One M9 variant. I've managed to unlock the bootloader and root the device but now I'm stuck with the next step. I live outside the US so Sprint cant help me and the phone hasn't been activated on Sprint. I was hoping i could sim unlock this the same way I did with my M7 but no luck? Help anyone?
Okay, I have a question. I have a Sprint HTC One M9, and I want to go to the T-Mobile store tomorrow and get a T-Mobile SIM for it. I'm not allowed to post a link to the page I'm referencing (under 10 posts), but according to Sprint's page "FAQs about Unlocking Your Sprint Device":
Under the second bold question, where it says "Will Sprint notify me when my device is eligible to be unlocked/has been unlocked?": It says all DSU-capable devices are automatically unlocked. This means that I should be able to go to T-Mobile tomorrow and get the SIM card and just put it in the phone for it to work, correct?
Sorry for the noob question. Definitely appreciate any help.

Nope it's still going to be locked. I bought my phone outright from HTC and spent hours trying to call Sprint (both regular and international support) and get it domestically unlocked, and all they give me is the run around and my MSL. They keep saying the new provider can use the MSL to reprogram the phone to make it work, which I believe is what happens when you flash to a prepaid CDMA carrier, not for GSM.
I kept arguing (with the call center manager) and went over the terms on the Sprint website to no avail. They'll unlock the SIM for international use no problem, but domestically, they will say it's impossible.
I've only heard of 1 other person from the Sprint forums getting the DSU unlock on the M9 and it was a pain for him as well. I pretty much gave up. Not worth the hassle. If you get yours domestically unlocked, please let me know and I may try again.

as I know this is international unlock. so when you will arrive to your country you will need just local sim card and it will work well if the phone was unlocked correctly before
