[Q] SIM unlock Sprint Galaxy S4 [SPH-720t] - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hello everyone
I've just got my hands on sprint galaxy s4. before you say anything about the thread already been made, I need to clarify that is model is the spark version SPH-L720T with "T" in the end. so far people are able to unlock the previous version of S4 but I couldn't find a thread regarding this particular model. So please can anyone help me unlocking this phone?

You didn't search. There's a thread for all questions regarding the Triband model. It is NOT possible to unlock that model at this time.

Isn't boost CDMA and not GSM like metro or Cricket. If so you have to flash the phone to boost.

The only thing I have found is you can do it yourself by purchasing CMDA workshop which is $100 or you can have someone else flash it to Boost from ebay for $50 to $60. Some people have you mail your phone and others will flash it remotely via teamviewer. Best thing to do is get your device on a stock rooted ROM. Get it flashed to Boost and then install a custom ROM if you wish. I am personally going to get it flashed remotely after I repair my cracked LCD screen on my S4 and after I get it on a stock rooted ROM. Hope this helps.
Just search ebay for flash to boost
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313&_nkw=flash+to+boost&_sacat=0

rofl. boost IS sprint. same network...same towers...just like going from sprint to virgin...ITS STILL SPRINT...easy...taking ur sprint s4 and going to a whole diff carrier..THATS hard

Trying restore my rooted phone not sure what im doing wrong

Trying to restore my but im having issues. I follow guide now that i unroot i cant get any wifi but 3g is working find and if i go back to my old rom i cant get any 3g or 4g but i get wifi its really weird.
Getting
Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
and
set warranty bit kernel
messages when booting my phone not sure if that has to do with it but i thought it was clean stock install i did what ever guide said.
We're gonna need some more info about your phone. This forum is for AT&T and Canadian S4s. Which one do you have? (i337 is AT&T and i337M is Canadian) And with that said, which firmware were you on before you did this?

I have a bell SGH I337M. Any way what is happening is i cant get wifi to work at all now that i went back to stock and im getting what i listed above when i boot my phone yet i went back to store firmware. I have a warranty on phone but i dont think i can send it back becase it says Kernel is not seandroid enforcing and set warranty bit kernel which i guess shows its been rooted so my warranty with bell wont work and i can get rid of that message or get wifi to work. Also my phone is laggy i cant even operate it keeps saying not responding do you want to close.
I think i did unroot all correctly put it into download mode flashed tar file for bell i337M firmware but i still am getting this message on boot, wifi not turning on at all and like i said phone is laggy unusable.
I also googled how to get rid of the message at boot everyone said to Flash stock firmware which i did but its not gone i think this phone is 100% ****ed.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated other wise im forced to get a new phone.
Even if i could just get rid of that thing on boot i could at least repalce my phone so its looks like its not rooted.
Also rom i installed b4 was GRAVITON maybe i did something wrong with that and no wifi wont work i need to flash a kernel that will work with bell s4 but i have no idea what one to use.

I have a ATT S4 with MF3/root/safestrap. I want to sell the phone and get back to stock. Can I just do the settings->factory reset? Do I need to use ODIN?

First... you need to flash Bell firmware not At&T.... would be helpful to know where you actually started from... were you on 4.2 or 4.3? There is a thread here that has all the stock firmware but you need to pick the right one... if you were on 4.3 you need the MK6 firmware...as long as you can reach download mode your not hooped yet....

[Q] I can apply a stock rom sm g900f????

I can apply a stock rom sm g900f when the bootloader is unlock?
and at the same time change radio frequency?

Wrong forum, the G900F is the International variant and this forum is for SM-G900V, the Verizon variant.

So you're asking if you can flash the SM-G900F stock rom on a SM-G900V? Before even answering that question you would need un unlocked bootloader which is less than likely. And even if you had one, what you propose would more than likely result in a brick.

I do not think wrong?
as long i get rooted the cellphone the chances of brick the phone are minor?

For Canadians: AT&T version works with Wind

Hi all,
I'm in Canada and I'm with Wind Mobile. I bought the M9 from the US (locked to AT&T) because I couldn't find it used in my area (Ottawa) and I won't pay full price for it. I bought it knowing that it worked with T-mobile and took a chance hoping that it will work with Wind. On the AT&T website it doesn't state that it has the 1700mhz band.
I unlocked it using the free method here on xda and rebooted. It worked! I have data, call, and text, all of them are working fine!
I'm starting this thread just in case someone was wondering about that.

Hi @Ramsey,
Thanks for the post! Could you let me know what you did please? Is your phone a GSM phone? I am holding an M9 international (M9u) version bought in Asia and I have tried DFS, QPST method of changing the NV values but it doesn't stick to ge the AWS 1700mhz band.
Could you kindly share how you did it?? Thanks!

Ooh. Thanks. I understand now. It probably meant that AT&T radio.img and sorts work with Wind. Will you be able to extract your radio.img for me please? I am dying to make it work, it has been close to 3 months already and my beautiful M9 is still refusing to work with my Wind line. :crying:

Samsung Galaxy on5 (sm-550T1) soft bricked by FRP after using TWRP

Edit: here's the metropcs firmware https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwpP0WNhAe9vdXZkVUNvMXFqMWc/view?usp=drivesdk
Edit:Title is wrong, its a sm-g550t1
Hi there. I'm really in desperate need of help. I am not always a very smart man.
I recently installed TWRP using the guide for this phone, and the first thing I encountered was I couldn't install it from download mode due to FRP. So I googled that, saw it would go away if I unlinked my Google accounts, which it did. Then I made a backup immediately.
However, later I linked my Google accounts and so now, after restarting, my phone will just say Custom Binary blocked by FRP. I can no longer access recovery mode, only download mode, and I can't install anything due to the FRP lock.
I am very frustrated, have gotten little sleep, because as I said I am not always a very smart man. I rely on my phone for my work and I can't afford another one. Someone gave me the stock firmware but its in the TWRP format and I don't know how to install those files with Odin.
So please, if you have time I really need help. If i could offer any sort of financial thanks I would but I just can't right now. But I swear I'll send so much good karma your way. I've definitely learned a lot from this process, usually breaking **** is how I learn best, but I wish I did this with a throwaway.
So I've narrowed it down a bit. I need a stock recovery.img and maybe a stock system.img so I can flash them in odin. Please, if you can somehow help I really need it right now.

[Solved] SIM lock screen

Hi,
I already asked this question in context of another ROM but got no helpful reply.
Now I flashed completely fresh newest stock L720VPUGPI2_L720SPTGPI2_SPR and I still have this prompt.
This was tested on two different carriers, but this screen is the same. Carrier support says it's exclusively phone issue, however I didn't find any SIM-related option in settings.
How to suppress this screen?
what are you trying to do? use it on another carrier? or is it a sprint sim in the phone?

This prompt appears on any (re)boot. I do nothing special.
I've never used Sprint SIM, as I am not in US.
oh, its because its a sprint phone.
You should be able to remove it in this screen. I have a G900P (S5) and its heavily rooted and modified, but should he the same process

Captain Obvious, is it you?
On some of the previous ROMs (AFAIR rooted one) I didn't experience such thing, so I am wondering maybe smth knows necessary setting how to disable it.

im sorry, i wasnt trying to be captain obvious stock ROMs have to have that option in it somewhere, im not sure where tho. But the simlock is something that stock ROMs usually have built in. Are you averse to trying a non-stock ROM? Maybe a global ROM?

Maybe you can recommend smth? There are so many options there.How do I know that the ROM is global?

before we go down that path, is your bootloader unlocked? is TWRP installed? Are you rooted? what is the model of your S4? What baseband are you on?

Actually I cannot say for sure. Neither of these methods worked for me. Fastboot just says: <waiting for device> indefintely.

Youd be surprised... I usually live in the G900P forum, and trust me, youll see all kinds of SMH stuff.
If you have TWRP, your bootloader is ususally unlocked as it required an unlocked bootloader. Locked ones are relegated to things like safestrap. You can flash a ROM made for the international version of your phone, just dont Odin flash something not made specifically for your phone. Have you ever tried a CM11 ROM?

Not on this device. CM11 seems obsolete for me, as it is KitKat-based. Moreover it is dead now and development is halted, so installing it seems not reasonable to me.
Cm doesn't have updates anymore, but its still quite viable
i actually meant CM 13 tho
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Free mobile app
Just for info: after I switched off SIM lock prompt on Exodus ROM, it disappeared on all ROMs. Even the most odious Sprint stocks. So, bless to you, Exodus
It seems that this setting is hidden somewhere in hardware engineer menu, and unfortunately ROM devs don't bother revealing it to the user via GUI.
