I need a new network please, in United States.
I had Sprint unlock my phone today (since it's no longer allowed at T-Mobile), and tried it's IMEI in Verizon's and Ultra Mobile's system checker, but the device was not allowed at either.
A google search leads me nowhere.
Any help is appreciated.

Rooting and carrier locks/unlocking are completely separate things.
Your phone doesn't work with a T-Mobile SIM? T-Mo and MetroPCS are the same company and use the same network, and in theory, phones from one should work on the other without unlocking, or should be able to be unlocked by one or either of them.

i want to use the phone in another carrier like AT&T, that the problem
Hello all,
It has been awhile since I've been on here. I apologize if I am posting in the wrong section (this forum has changed so much over the years).
Anyways, I am currently a T-Mo customer and just got a Metro PCS Samsung Galaxy SGH-M819N because I thought I could simply flash a rom that would allow me to use T-Mobile sim card. However, it turns out that it may not be that simple.
Can someone advise whether or not I am able to unlock the sim (without paying it through sites such cellunlocker.net) via flash? If so, would you be kind to direct me to the site or page which gives directions?
Thanks,

oK, i paid
4update:
I am ended buying an unlock code via eBay for $14.99. I enter the code and the phone no longer asks for SIM unlock code BUT now it does not register with any carriers.
i inserted my t-mo sim card into the phone, go to settings, and tried to automatically and manually connect to the tmobile network but keep getting the "unable to connect at this time. try again later" message.
i contacted tmobile via chat and provided imei number and sim card number but was still unable to connect.
i flash backed to stock firmware 4.4.4 and still no luck.
i checked my "device info" and under "phone status" it shows my phone number assigned to the sim card but not connecting to service provider.
Any ideas anyone? Please help.

Make sure the apn is correct.
Go to more networks and then mobile network.
Hello everyone,
I need some assistance regarding using a Boost Moto E 2015 XT1526 overseas.
I was using it in the U.S. with a foreign SIM card with no issues, recently I sent it overseas so my mom could use it. (I never got to active it with Boost or Ringplus or Sprint)
The problem is that the phone is not recognizing any SIM card there, the phone says that there is no SIM and only emergency is available.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Since the phone wasn't activated I'm wondering if during the boot process the phone searchs for Sprint network before activating the SIM card slot, and since it can't find it blocks the slot.
Could this be a posibility? If yes, is there any work around?
The phone has the bootloader unlocked, the OS is 6.0.1 Marshmallow (based on CyanogenMod 13).
There are ways to circumvent the activation screen.. Your issue seems to be with the Bands used by your Mom's country. You need to first get the carrier info of the SIM that would be used and the Bands supported by the carrier. Then use QPST, DFS or any such tool to update the RF bands in the phone it should work.

Hi Tristar,
I know what carrier is her SIM card from and it uses GSM 900/1800 MHz, do I need any other info from the carrier? Also, do you have a tutorial link that I can follow for using QPST? I found some procedures online but I'm not sure they are quite what I need so I'm a little concern that I could brick the phone.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Sure thing @Marty_mcfly10, here you go follow this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...nywhere, then let me know, will help you out.
Hi all,
I have a Huawei Mate 2 from Freedom (Wind) Mobile. I have updated it to Lollipop 5.1 by unlocking the bootloader. In fact I made a guide for it a while back.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/guide-step-step-wind-mobile-canada-t3387490
Recently in Canada the cellular service providers are forced by law to give us an unlock code for free. After unlocking the phone would work with any service provider. This phone has a pretty big battery and would be ideal for a travel or backup phone.
I successfully got an unlock code from Freedom (which was pretty easy). I then put in sim cards from another provider (Koodo, Fido, etc). However the screen for me to enter the unlock code never popped up. It just say "no service".
I tried to manually set it up, by clicking the notification. "No Service: Selected network (Telus 3G) unavailable". However it won't register. Neither did the unlock code entering screen ever pop up.
And under data settings it say no SIM card. However the phone works perfectly when I insert my Freedom SIM card. But when a foreign SIM card was inserted it just say no SIM.
My question is has anyone been able to unlock this phone under Lollipop 5.1? How did you get to the "Enter Unlock Code" screen?
I also wonder if anyone has any luck unlocking with the original Android 4.3. If someone did, maybe I should flash the phone back to its original OS.
Thanks in advance!
I have a tmobile lg v30 that was unlocked with device unlock tool... used it for a year on att. Then I went to xfinity mobile with an Iphone. Put the v30 away for a month.
Was gonna give to my friend to use on tmobile. When you put a tmobile sim card in it will not connect to any network. Will not work with att sim now either. Tmobile says its carrier locked and they
cannot unlock it now. ????? Says I have to get the original carrier to unlock it... They are the original carrier. Device unlock "when you try Permanent unlock says" Unlock Failed Unlock Approved : Mobile device is permanently unlocked.
When you try Temp unlock it says Unlock Failed Unlock Approved : Mobile device is temporarily unlocked until 02-Aug-2019.
When you put tmobile sim in the apn is there but you cannot edit or add apn.
When your put any other sim in the apn is empty and you cannot add apn.
Phone is on Android version 7.1.2

If it's a T-Mobile H932 and you want to use it on T-Mobile, why does it need to be carrier unlocked?
If it won't work on T-Mobile, have T-Mobile repair it
It's not a carrier unlocking issue, at least if you want to use it on T-Mobile..
Because it’s not on an account now and T-Mobile says it needs to be network unlocked. Before they can add it back to their network.

T-Mobile H832 does NOT need to be carrier unlocked to work on T-Mobile, since it's a T-Mobile device.
If they are telling you that they're lying or they don't understand what you're asking. Maybe you confused them with unnecessary details about your attempt to carrier unlock it in the past.
Stop mentioning that to them and focus on it's T-Mobile device that needs to work on T-Mobile, period. And they need to replace it or repair it if it doesn't.
If some incompetent support person doesn't understand that, then go to another store or make another phone call.

Just to be crystal clear here,
are you sure about that? Is there something you're not telling us?
We ARE talking about T-Mobile H932 and not Puerto Rico H932, right? You BOUGHT it from T-Mobile, right?
If the answer is yes, it's T-Mobile H932, then this statement stands:
T-Mobile H832 does NOT need to be carrier unlocked to work on T-Mobile, since it's a T-Mobile device.
You need to find competent support person and do NOT mention anything about carrier unlocking to them... until the phone is working on T-Mobile with no problem.
THEN, you can ask them about carrier unlocking it to work on other carriers.
