[Q] Unflashing back to Sprint from MetroPCS

I just bought a CDMA Hero that I thought was on Sprint's network from Craiglist, the guy i bought it from actually had it flashed to work on MetroPCS and never told me. I have no idea how to change it back to get it working on Sprint's network so that I can activate. Any help would be appreciate

i hate to tell u this but if the esn has been on another carrier sprint will not reactivate it.

More info please?

Can you explain as to why and how this works? All i know is that I flashed the RUU rom from the htc website and I thought that this would change it back to sprint coverage but when it was done all it changed was that it was no longer rooted and still on metroPCS. To change it back to Sprint coverage would you flash a sprint PRL file or something? I just need some help as to how this works.
Thanks for the pending reply

[Q] Unlock Sprint version to use with any GSM network in and out of the US?

I keep searching, but can't find anything. Is there a site that I can buy the code from or is it even GSM capable in the country?

I just called and spoke to the International services people. They waived the 90-day requirement for me, and unlocked the phone. Haven't tested it yet, though.

HI dev ,
i am from Nagpur, did you got any solution for Sprint MOTO X ? pl help me if you have any solution. i bought two phones from eBay.
Thanks.

Sorry.. as far as I know .. no solutions yet .

No man can hack it, what a pity!

Unlocking the phone for use with GSM Sim without Sprint service is not possible as Moto only releases the codes to the specific carrier and Sprint will not give it to you.
If you do get it unlocked, it will not work in the US on a GSM network ie: T-Mobile or ATT. They're hardware restricted from working on local GSM networks p/fca allowances. I have seen a few devices like some black Berry's work locally after being unlocked but they are few and far between.

Trouble getting a data only sim card to work

I have a verizon htc one m7 running a custom rom. I'm currently in Japan and decided to get a data only sim card. Registering on the site was fine, but when I put the sim card in the phone says that it is a non verizon sim. I've put in all the APN info and I think everything should work but it isn't. I've been looking for a solution for quite a while now but with no luck.

You will need to get the device sim unlocked from the carrier.

I just spoke to a VZ rep and they said I didn't need to get it unlocked in order to use it.

If you put in a sim and it tells you it is not a Verizon aim then it is locked and they have no idea what they are talking about. Which I hate to say is not uncommon for customer service people.

Just tell them you need it unlocked to be able to use international SIM cards.

Verizon HTC one comes sim unlocked out of the box. You must change the network type to global. On most stock based ROMs, it is set to CDMA/LTE only by default.
You must also double check that the carrier you are using utilizes the frequencies that the Verizon one supports. Below is the GSM bands the Verizon one supports:
UMTS/HSPA 900/2100MHz,
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz
The verizon one does not support WCDMA or AWS LTE.

how do I get my AT&T galaxy s5 to work with Verizon SIM card

The phone is sim unlocked via an unlock code I bought but when I put my Verizon SIM card in it it won't make phone calls or texts our anything. The only thing it does is say not registered on network. The phone is rooted but I haven't had time to tinker with it yet.

Hi,
I will have your thread moved to your device section. You will need to register on XDA to respond to any replies.
Good luck!

I don't think that is pasible since Verizon is using CDMA and at&t is GSM

Verizon is not CDMA (used to be but dropped in favor of GSM) Sprint is CDMA Verizon is GSM just different bands you would need to change out the APN's to get any luck at all

Verizon is not gsm. That is total bs.. show a source.

The "sim" cards they use are for 4g data only. They are still cdma. Totally different concept. So I'll wait for you to post a credible link proving your statement...

Switch to SIM card?

I have an at&t version that is off lease. The phone was paid for so I kept it and basically been using it as a mini tablet on my home WiFi for the last year.. it still works fine
Is there anything I can do to make it work off a Sim card?
Paul

Take any SIM from a phone you already have active, place it in the Nexus and Viola!!!

If you want to use the phone on a carrier other than AT&T your going to need to unlock the phone first. You can request an unlock code from AT&T here.

Thanks, but I have since found it was with Sprint.
Thanks for your help. I've sense discovered it was with Sprint. You wouldn't happen to have a link for them would you? TIA

If it is on Sprint it should already be unlocked. AT&T was the only carrier to offer the Nexus 6 and therefore it was the only locked version.

That's odd. This is a Nexus 6 and it was on Sprint. It hasn't been active for over a year but the carrier still says Sprint.
Will the internal antenna allow it to work on a Tracphone (generic prepaid Verizon network) sim?

I'm not sure about it working on Tracphone but my gut feeling is that it will. The Nexus 6 worked on Verizon so that shouldn't be a problem but I'm not sure if the APN settings for Tracphone will be there or if you will have to manually create a new APN for them.

So, the phone will "remember" its last carrier until you pop in a SIM. Should work just fine.

Thanks
