Sure. It might be brick your phone though.
Ok so what about using cdma ws...or dfs qpst qxdm. Do any of those programs have the capability of band unlocking. That's what I'm trying to get at ...

The question is I bought a sg3 phone for $400 on a market here in my country. But when I activated it with the same carrier the phone is from. It appears that the phone have been reported stolen and also the phone is unlocked for any gsm carrier. My question is since I will not be able to use it on at&t which is it original carrier will I be able to use it on t mobile network since its diferrent and they use a different network?

if it is stolen, give it back...
It looks like it is. But the person sold it to me for $400 and he said it was new and he was the only owner. I just want to know if it will work unlocked on other network provider like t mobile.

Although I agree that's totally the right thing to do SOME people need a phone and Some can't just eat $400!!!! He didn't know when he bought it. He should be getting the person he got it from in trouble!!!!!!! Return it if you are not dirt poor or you don't NEED a phone. Do all u can to right this wrong Cuz your involved now.just my tiny opinion

Well , since you cant afford a new phone then just root it and unlock it .. But the right thing to do is returning it back and report the guys number to the police , good luck.

It is allready unlocked. Will I still need to root it? (Also looks like the guy is being tracked down by police since I'm not the first person he fooled.) I'm very angry of this situation since I didnt spent $100 or $200 bucks, I spent $400 that is much money to throw it like in the thrash.

I can feel the pain , bought a stolen phone before xD Your device ID or IMEI is reported as stolen , so you cant register on that carrier ... Maybe try another carrier ? Atleast thats what worked for me

What I know is that the phone is original from At&t and its reported there. So I will be able to use it with T-Mobile instead right? since the phone is unlocked.

Have a look at this from T-Mobile, AT&T were already doing it, IMIE blocking blocks the phone across all network in that country, you could probably use it abroad normally as its not on a US network but using in the US unlikely

And if I change the phone IMEI. The problem will be solved right?
Yes but you get the far bigger problem of illegal imei changing which can get you intr real deep trouble.
Also, imei cannot be changed easily, only transplanted.
Note that most "stolen" devices are not stolen per se (they often come in original boxes) but are insurance claims.

You could do that, but be sure to advertise that the phone wont work in the states, it would be unfair to con a potential buyer.

Anyone,
I'm not an android noob, but I left Android a few years back (2.3.3 / 2.3.4) due to work changing to iPhones for data encryption reasons. I came back to Android when more Samsung phones started supporting ODE (on device encryption). I would like to root my phone and have done so on other Android phone's using SuperOneClick, CWM, etc.
I am reading that there is a secure boot loader on the AT&T version of this phone in USA, so I am screwed in gaining root access to the device? I'd really like to delete all this bull**** bloatware they've installed... and a tethering app without using the carrier option.
Can anyone help?
I have the AT&T version as well. I'm not 100% sure that the bootloader is the reason for no root yet. Other phones have locked bootloaders and can still be rooted.
Running custom roms might be another story. I get the impression that because this is not a "mainstream" phone that it does not get top priority. For example, the Moto X on AT&T has a locked bootloader and that's rooted already, but it's a very popular phone.
Hopefully we'll get some love sooner rather than later. I would be happy with root along with an easy way to go back to stock.

No boot loader unlock, no root, so no custom ROMs as yet.

Does straight talk get lte on the at&t galaxy mega and is the upload and download speeds fast ? I have mines unlocked and wanted to know if I should jump ship from at&t and save money and go with straight talk?
Hi, I bought the DNA thinkig it would work fully in Europe.
Phone calls and sms are ok.
But I can´t get data working, I tried adding and changing the APNs, the mode from global to GSM/UMTS, patches and different roms and most of all reading a lot but to no avail.
Data did´t work with original rom and still doesn't work whit custom roms.
S-offed, rooted and recovery.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is your APN configured correctly?

You'll have to have it unlocked first, uf you've already done that, then redo it because it is letting you know that is network restricted

How many spend you for active "Bring Your Own Phone(BYOP) CDMA Activation Kit " ?
I don't think your imei is good after all. I got that same message on a note 2 I bought. The man I got it from had me call att to verify the imei, so I'd buy it, then reported it stolen 2 days later. Boom, no connectivity. Device has been blocked from network use

I odined back to full stock and even did the 727 key pad and it still says the same thing. Does a Sim card have to be inserted to even connect to the sprint network? It has no bars with the little x over the antenna. Is there anything I van do with this phone? Its on nc5 and imei is different from what's on the housing but both read clean and register as sprint note 3. Maybe LCD was replaced?

Did you activate this device with Sprint ? If so, have you tried to update your PRL and a reboot after you odined back to stock ? A sim card is for international use.
