:crying: okay so heres my issue. I have cricket and sprint. I bought a few used sprint moguls off ebay with bad esn's for the purpose to flash them to cricket. So the flash went perfect thanks to ryan mogul and his threads. So i go to have the phone added to my cricket account and they tell me i cant add this phone becuase its not in the market. Then verizon tells me i cant activate on there becuase its not a vzw inventory. I cant take this phone to sprint due to someones lack of brains to take the phone off there acct. Any ideas on what to do. I have read many articles on fixing my problem but nothing works
I also am trying to access the nvm folder and its locked. I cant edit nothing from the folder anyone know any ways around this.

I think you said:
1. I am on a family plan with my dad on Alltel.
2. Even though my dad pays for my cell phone service, I call him rude names.
3. I have moved to a location that Alltel does not serve.
4. I would like to activate my phone with Sprint service, which presumably is available in my new location.
Does Alltel allow you to use roaming service in your new location? Did your dad deactivate your phone? Maybe you could try respectfully asking him about that...
If you activate service with a different carrier, you will not be on your dad's family plan anymore. That probably means you will have to pay for your own cell phone service, but does not give you permission to call him more rude names. You can try activating the phone with Sprint, but usually they will only accept phones that were originally sold for Sprint service and the ESN (unique phone serial number) is on their list.
i still pay the bill cause its under my name first of all!!!
and yes hes an asshole,cause he tried to beat up my three month old kid!!
how can i get that password?
1. if its in YOUR name and YOU pay the bill why cant YOU call sprint and activate it ?
2. Pops sounds like a loon if he did try to fight an infant.
Here are the Facts:
You cannot hack service into your phone if it has been deactivated...
You cannot retrieve the password unless your dad speaks it to you or you locate it elsewhere...
You cannot activate your account via Alltel, Sprint, etc without your dad's relevant information...
You cannot utilize a device in a area that is not supported by your device's carrier services...
You can likely switch your service on your device to another, however... it will not be easy...
You can likely get a phone activated into your own name and free yourself from parental obligation...
And you most likely need to keep your kids away from your dad if he is abusive...
thanx again for all your help,it just sucks having a cool phone with a whole lot of apps and no service :/

If the account is under your name and you pay the bill, call Alltel and get them to reset the password.
OR, if the account is under your name and you pay the bill, close the account and open a new one without your dad on it.
Really????
Are you kidding, this has nothing to do with the Titan and everything to do with needing Dr. Phil. I believe you are in the wrong forum my friend.

yup, things we don't need to know for $200 Alex.
1) We don't want to hear about your family problems, this is an XDA forum.
2) We don't want to see posts denegrating other people, again, the XDA forum thing.
3) We'd love to answer your questions, if you are up front with all of the details in your OP.
As far as I can tell, you still aren't giving us the details. I'd say, but the looks of your posts, you are trying to scam your Father. Otherwise, you'd be able to change the password on "your" account because it is in "your" name, and "you" pay for it.
Something isn't quite right with your story.
Noob here. I just got an unlocked Wing. I am an AT&T subscriber. Phone works great, but is there a way to use the AT&T media net features on the T-Mobile device? Can I make the AT&T network see the device as an AT&T device? I found an old thread with the same kind of question, but no real answers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I believe you have to go to at&t website and configure the options manually unless somebody creates an at&t rom, otherwise everything must be done manually
I'm completely making this up right now ... BUT:
Did you just pop your ATT sim card into the Tmobile Wing? And that's it?
I think for any other features to work, you would need to call ATT up and give them the IMEI and other information from your phone which would make it work, since that's how they detect what type of phone you have server-side and return the information they think is pertinent to your phone...
If youre phone isn't "regsitering" ... or its trying to send your phone the info that should have gone to your old phone that's on the account ... or it may not be sending anything at all.
I suggest, call ATT and explain the situation. I seriously doubt they're going to say anything... since you're still paying THEM every month.
Once they have the necessary info from ur phone, it should take 15 min to provision or something and boom ... everything should work.
Have someone made a cab with those ATT features you are trying to use? Maybe over in the kaiser forum who are mainly all ATT users bc of the Tilt
Hey all, I need help.....bought a HTC hero off craigslist, should've known better. The esn went fine but the msl code never worked...I researched and found out that the phone's msl was changed to "0's"...so I'm guessing it was unlocked for another carrier possibly Cricket. Well, I need it to be on Sprint...phone and text works fine, but no data. Do I need to flash it back to Sprint or is there settings that I need for my data to be restored? Please help!
If anything, how do I restore the OEM msl code in case I need to bring it back for tech support? I'm sure they frown big time if they see it's unlocked!
Try calling sprint tech support about, you'll probably just need to run the ruu program from the sprint website.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Yes, I suggest trying the Sprint RUU found here, but I would try it BEFORE calling tech support if you're worried about them finding out if its been unlocked/rooted
So i purchased a sprint s4 off somebody of craigslist. I asked if the imei was clean and they said yes. They seem like an honest person so i didnt bother to check the imei until i was on the way home. Turns out the fing **** was lying and no i am stuck with this phone. So i found this post on how someone with a similar situation got it to work on domestic carriers that are GSM. I tryed it and it was working flawlessly i was very happy. So i took out the sim card i was using to test and put it back in my normal phone LG G2 and the next day when i put the sim in the S4 again it stopped working. I did not change anything and it is just not working. I will link the post i followed hopfully someone could help me out.
Some info

What does it say in your settings under about phone and status? I can help I just need a little more info...
Hi guys. Long time reader, been fortunate, but finally have to post a question.
Thanks up front, this forum is very awesome.
We are Verizon customers. I recently bought an SM-930P from a local guy. He's had his phone stolen, he got another, then it was recovered so he sold the replacement to me.
He called and made sure all was good and deactivated it before the sale.
Well from what I can tell, Sprint didn't push the unlock to the phone before he took it offline. From what I've gathered, the 930P is unusual in that it can't be manually unlocked via a code. Correct?
I called Sprint - (aside - boy it is very hard to get to a human being to talk to you if you aren't a customer) - the rep said, oh yes, the EMEI is OK, phone was paid off, we'll unlock it for you.
Yet it does not work.
Symptoms: My Verizon SIM won't work (just says invalid SIM), and when I tried a friend's SIM from their Spring S7 it also didn't work, said it was invalid.
Today I called Sprint back again, and this time the rep - this time it was somebody from the S7 tech group - said that the phone was still associated w/ the other guy's account. Since I didn't have authorization on the account she wouldn't do anything else. So now I have heard 2 different stories from Sprint.
Well, that guy is in the Army and can't be reached now to call himself.
So, I need to have it unlocked, but I'm stuck. I don't care about Sprint b/c I want to use it on Verizon.
Am I correct that the only option is to do a USB direct-connect unlock, like some people are offering as services (through eBay etc)? My understanding is that they manually update the phone so it thinks it's getting the unlock from the carrier?
And although I don't intend to use Sprint - what happens if, later, I or somebody else wants to put it back on Sprint if it has been unlocked this way? Will there be a whitelist issue with their records?
Thanks

I used the Android Doctor, a quick Google search will find it. Super easy, remote unlock...they will stay in contact with you and make sure your phone works before they charge you. Reasonable price. I've done my s7 and s7 edge. Both work flawlessly. I'm on Straight Talk/AT&T.
Just as an update - yes, after more reading what I learned was that the USB-key approach is the only solution to this.
I went through GSM-Zambia.com - pretty much the same as Android Doctor but slightly cheaper.
That did the trick.
Also FYI - once it was unlocked, I flashed the based G930u version firmware - the one intended for unlocked, non-carrier specific phones - instead of the G930p as intended for Sprint. No problems w/ it whatsoever, seems to have all the radio bands active AND no bloatware.
Only hitch was that I still had to call Verizon and work w/ a tech to activate it on their network b/c if you give the IMEI online to do it manually yourself it just complains that they don't recognize it as compatible.
