Some people ! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

So I meet a guy in craigslist who guaranteed me that he could unlock and program a Sprint Samsung galaxy s4 to be able to work on AT&T or T-Mobile network utilizing both talk text and internet

No offense or anything but a little research and you would see that the radios are completely incompatible for starters sprint and Verizon or CDMA based where as at&t and the rest of the post paid carriers are gsm based.

There's no offense, the posters and the op, are taking in a good laugh since its pretty obvious its not possible.

Actually the s4 has capability to run off gsm networks just not in the states only outside due to sprints locked the phone down. The iphone 5 from sprint had to use a rsim to allow it to be used in the states

I got ripped off on Craigslist too! lol I bought a Galaxy Nexus that should've been able to be activated only to find out that I couldn't because she didn't pay her Sprint bill. She never got back to me, so I put up an ad with a free Samsung HD TV and put her number on it

This is why everyone should always meet at a carrier store or call the carrier to make sure activation can happen when purchasing a used device. Good lesson for others to learn from if not familiar with dealing on CL. Hopefully she is getting back a little of what she deserves for swindling.

I've seen worse. But yes some people scamming or just plain stupid. Irks me.

No one will ever learn...there are zillion threads with these stories and we still get morons still doin it. Sheeez

To most people they think that they will go get a straight talk sim and it will work. This idiot puts up a fancy add that will help sell the phone. The way I look at it is that if there is not a full guide or documentation on xda its not possible! The question is are you ready for that "earlie" upgrade? lol!!

Bhahahahahah ^^^^

*See here for Vivid root progress*

Hey guys, our own GSLEON3 has just started working with EvilDevnull. Evil has a pretty good track record with being able to exploit devices, so I think we might be in luck. However, EvilDevnull was banned from XDA for reasons I won't go into. So please, do not link his site, but you are allowed to link his twitter. TO FIND HIS SITE, google "s-off think tank" and you will find his forum with his name in the url. Register with the forum and you are in. Recently, Evil was only working on the HTC Rezound but GSLEON3 was able to get him to add a Vivid section on the forum since the two devices are so alike. So check in on the Vivid or Rezound sub forums to see what's going on. This thread is for root discussion only, please do not start drama about Evil or you may face the consequences with a mod.
Very cool. Thank you for the update. Just signed up
Thanks slapshot30. Things are going in the right direction

Excellent!!!
I am really dissapointed because this is the first HTC phone I get that I can not modify to my like. I like it hardware wise but miss the overclocking and twicking and so. I just wish it was rooted. So I am going to fork some cash for a moto razr from local carrier that has the same freq than Ma Bell and put this baby In its box until its been rooted. I like it enough to hold on to it and I realy don't like the Sammys, I remember my cappi being unstable and feeling like a chinesse counterfeit of a nicer product.
The razr is rooted so Ill have Enough

I think this might not be a Sprint thing, but instead a Google Wallet app issue. Might be because the phone is so new and may not have passed testing yet. I would expect an update to fix this soon.

It's funny you say that. Every time I go into a 7-Eleven or McDonald's, I whip out my phone and pay with Google Wallet, and every single time the person behind the counter is like, "What'd you just do? Did you just pay with your phone? How'd you do that? Yaddie Yaddie Ya"
Blowing people's mind...
Ya, its worked fine on my evo lte and s3 forever. Sprint does not block it so I'm sure a simple build.prop edit would get it working until they get the device supported

They do block it on their end just like after the evo lte came out it worked then they blocked it for about a month then unblocked it.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
sure hope a support is granted fairly soon. i used google wallet all the time with evo lte and i'm missing it quite a bit. according to a sprint rep i spoke with prior to purchasing the htc one, it will be supported so it's only a matter of time.
if not within a timely fashion, i guess a mod to the build.prop should suffice. i remember doing this when the evo lte wasn't officially supported.

Off contract HTC ONE deals.

I got mine on a humbug search on craigslist. Person had plenty for $400. At first I'm thinking BS. This will be a scam trying to send me link once I respond. Nope. She let me buy a brand new HTC ONE for $370. Was definitely not expecting that. I was just looking at one on Amazon for $630 with my employee discount. But didn't bite. What was your best off contract deal for the ONE?

Sounds a little too good to be true. Probably, she's going to open a line, get it for $200, then cut it off, which might leave you with a bad ESN. Be careful.

Which phones, you mean something like a Motorola StarTAC?
Nowadays phones have incredible razor thin profit margins. It cost HTC around that much money to even make the ONE.
As far as the text message goes, who knows if he what he was selling and you was attempting to buy. It could have been a phone but which phone?
You might have gotten a good deal but I'm pretty sure that phone isn't on the up and up.

Sure its on your account now. But if or when a retailer finds out the phone was back doored they could call Sprint and the phone will obviously be traced back to you. So you're not out the clear yet.

Stopped by best buy mobile and inquired about the red version for Sprint. He stated we have them in stock already and do you want to see it.
