Is there any way to check if my Streak is unlocked without using a non-AT&T SIM?

Because I don't have access to one. I'm considering selling it.
Thanks in advance.
Mike.

To the best of my recollection, in order to use the unlock code that you got for the Streak you have to put a SIM from another carrier into the phone. Find a friend with T-Mobile and borrow his SIM for a minute to unlock your phone.

Dell will give you the unlock code no questions asked...just call.

You did not buy the phone new? If you did and you got it anywhere except Dell then it probably carrier locked.
I would call Dell and give the phone info, they can probably tell you if it was sold unlocked.

once my streak unlocked one time, do I still need the code for future, if I need to switch to switch carrier again. thanks in advance.

No.

I've had 5 different dell streaks so this is from my experience... if you're on AT&T and get "H" data, then your phone is unlocked. If you only get "3G" then your phone is locked.

H and 3G is rom dependant and has nothing to do with the lock status per se
at&t roms have the H icon disabled so it only shows 3g.
All other roms show H when HSPA is available and 3g when only UMTS is available (which is rather rare now)

Unlock NVM Folder on 9k Port

I can not get the nvm folder unlocked on the 9k port. I do need it unlocked to be able to write the data settings and have them stick, correct? Also to change the MEID? I have CDMA WS 2.7, QPST 366, DFS 4.0.0.4. Can anyone help?
I am trying to flash this phone to cricket-
I do have 1x data with a AT&T sim installed. Text and calls work.
I also have 1x data with no sim card installed, but I can't make calls.
Yes I am trying to unlock and edit the 9k port with the vzw sim in the phone.
Edit: 'open sesame door' DOES NOT WORK

The radio itself ia the problem. It doesnt work at the frequencies that at&t operates on. Yes it does have a sim but it isnt the same as a sim that is in an at&t phone.

Ok, but I still need to unlock the NVM folder on the 9k port modem.

Are you attempting to get 3g data?

CDMA doesn't use sim card. Sim card is gsm by default. The one on the tbolt is not a "sim" as we know it. Im pretty sure it I for 4g LTE only. Everything else should work, yes 3g cdma, without it present. I think it is a UIM card. I have heard Verizon is using it for CDMA authentication as well, but I am not sure on that one. CDMA does not need a "sim" card, but a carrier could choose to use a UIM or any hardware key if they desired. If you aren't on Verizon's network, it should be 100%. If you are(even through a third party carrier that uses Verizon for their cdma service) you will need a new card. Once they are issued, they get tied to the account and phone number and cannot be changed for security reasons.

So you are saying the data fields on the 9k port are irrelevant to my data issue. All the NV items on 9k port still have Verizon information, so the UM and AN User ID and so forth are all the old Verizon information. I can NOT write to these fields, from what I understand this might be the reason I am not getting 3G.
So if those settings are not needed, is it my Radio? Like I said all my calls, texts, MMS even all WORK. My only issue is 1x Data, I can't seem to get 3g.
ALSO WHEN THE VERIZON UIM/SIM CARD (WHICH EVER IT IS) IS IN THE PHONE, I HAVE NO DATA AT ALL, I ONLY GET DATA WHEN I USE A SIM CARD FROM ANOTHER PROVIDER.
THE DATA WORKS WITH NO UIM/SIM IN THE PHONE, BUT WHEN THERE IS NO UIM/SIM I CAN NOT MAKE CALLS.

Have you seen this article? You are correct with your approach, this may help you.

Not registered on T-Mobile

Hey, I just ordered a Note 3 on eBay and I received it today and it doesn't work at all. I put the tmobile sim in and it just says searching for service. I have gone through the network settings and not of that seems to work/register. Any idea why this might be happening? I can only think of one thing which is it was not fully paid off when they were selling the phone. Any help would be great thank!

Maybe the region lock. Do a search.

Doubt it is the region lock because, as I understand it, the phone should be asking for an unlock code.
Workout knowing more about the particular model of phone, at a guess I'd say that the Note the OP has purchased doesn't support TMo's radio bands for either 3g or LTE.

In that case, blacklisted IMEI sounds likely.
If you try to search for networks, does it slow any networks at all?

OK, maybe not explained well and I had read this post that you "suggest" ... I'm from Colombia and I bought the phone on ebay, I contacted Sprint, and the answer was that they would not give me the lock code because the phone is not on an active account since the phone is new, then I kept looking on xda and found how to get the MSL.
Now, I got the MSL, but my question is how I program or configure the phone to open the bands ... or unlock it, I don't know how and Sprint don't answer me, and in the post that you "suggest" no information... by the way, thanks for the sarcasm ...
and sorry my english ...

While I appreciate the effort, I don't think this unlocks the Sprint LS 980, but just opens up new LTE bands, what we were(or at least I was) is a way to use a local SIM card internationally without having to contact sprint, which I've tried and they won't comply. From what I understand, sprint sends an OTA update to the phone enabling the international local SIM usage, meaning that the phone does it naturally, just sprint blocks something on it.
But many thanks either way

Gotcha. Sorry about that. Good luck with it.

No problem buddy, I am wondering if making an official thread about unlocking the LS980, to gather all the info we can come up with, and maybe then we can find a solution.

This won't help anything... Just a placebo effect.. Spark LTE is not available so this atm is pointless.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

The unlocking the band thing yes since it's got nothing to do with unlocking it, but the original thread is about unlocking the sprint variant LS980, so best if you specify what the placebo effect is about.

Just a question, were you reffering to the spark LTE or the unlocking this? Because I'm not sure how they relate.

Today sprint released a ZV8 firmware update for the ls980, but still is locked for other networks.

Dammit! I've ordered few LG G2 Sprint, for use with GSM services overseas, but now I see that I'm in trouble cause of that Sprint's lock!!
Is there any solution???

I'm pretty sure this isn't going to help you on GSM.
It's for Sprint's new CDMA LTE bands I do believe.

SIM Unlock - [Completed]

Hi Folks
Im not selling anything here, but because my Device was locked to Voda I had to get it unlocked.
I went to http://sim-unlock.net/ and they unlocked it for me in 7 mins. I tried Voda and they charged me £19.99 for it (23 Euros ish)
Think it was something like £8.56 after conversion but its awesome now .
The website looked a bit dodgy at first but sorted in the end.
I tried to do my Desire C unlock action here, but i had issues tracking down the storage section on the device which is used for Simunlocking a unit. .
Anyhow... Devs, if you feel this is Spam please delete, but im pretty sure that lots of people will ask.

Well, you are in trouble. Vodafone changing the code and doesn't seem to storing them properly. My contract ran out so asked for the code. They supplied one, but didn't worked. Same thing from some unblocking sites. You have 10 attempts then is hard locked.
After a bit of "fighting" I received replacement and sim free.

The first batch aren't locked, specially on high demand devices. So if you are among the first getting the phone you are in luck.
