I'm newbie. I hope someone can have the answer for my question. I got a brand new Verizon Note 3 not activate yet and I wonder that can I use TMO sim card after I root it? Please help. Thanks a lot.

You should've gotten the T-Mobile version if you wanted to use it on T-Mobile...
Yeah you should be able to use I it on t-mobile not sure if lte will work though

You'll need to put Tmobile APN settings to connect to Internet and send/receive MMS. I believe you CAN also enable LTE band 4 so you can connect to Tmobile LTE. See the service menu thread on how to do that.

The best root I've used is Kingo Android Root HERE. Doesn't even wipe the phone.

Try typing your question in the thread, not as the thread topic...
If I was to order s att lte sim card and when they ask for a imei no. If I was to give them one from a regular att prepaid non smartphone could they tell that the phone wasnt a smartphone and if I could get by that if I got the prepaid $50 unlimited everything monthly you think that I could take that prepaid sim card and put it in a smartphone and get unlimited Lte data.Does anyone think this could possibly work. Thanks

I never had a gsm phone so I dont know alot about world phones. On sprints community foruma there is much debate if the gs4 is a world phone. I see a sim slot my guess that it is. Anyway if I were to switch to tmobile, can this phone be used or is it completely impossible? Other countries use gsm networks only so being a world phone I would assume that it can be used with US gsm networks. Thanks.

It is a world phone but it is locked to Sprint only you can call sprint and have it unlocked for international and sprint simcards only no domestic Sims like from t-mobile and AT&T.

Okay did some research and youre correct. Invalid sim pops up when a local sim is inserted. Lets say I flash the google edition rom stock rooted. Now I know it will mess up all radio with cdma but will this bypass or does sprint have a hardware lock on the device?

Yes, it will work on tmobile for text and call when you unlocked it. For data, you need to change the apn setting to epc.tmobile.com. I am sure that you will get EDGE but not sure about 3g/4g or LTE.

That is not correct. It will work if you unlocked it. You will only get EDGE data for the time being in the US.

You can't do it, it is impossible. Sprint has US carriers blocked and there is no method to unlock to use a Sprint phone on Tmobile. So here is the steps to follow: List your Sprint phone on Ebay or Craigslist, Sell it, go buy a Tmobile S4, enjoy.

Im having difficulties rooting the S4. When I check it says its not rooted properly. Im still on MF9 and have no clue how to get it to MDC/MDL baseband. Any help? And how would you change the apn settings?

There seems to be a very dismissive attitude in this thread.
I have a Sprint HTC One and I can easily throw a T-Mobile SIM in there and get full service (sans LTE) with T-Mobile. The HSPA+ is faster than the Sprint 3G.
So while I do not have personal experience with the S4 in this fashion, I do not see why it would not be possible to get it unlocked and used on T-Mobile. (Unless Samsung/Sprint are blocking it for whatever reason)
This is an excellent board, I almost got my phone off Sprint, to Lycamobile USA, but still stacking with these 2 issues.
1. How to get rid of "activation not completed" message process? I do not need Sprint service on it.
2. When I dial 611 for Lycamobile customer care, the phone connects to Sprint. All the other numbers seems routed via Lyca. LOL
I am on current stock rooted MF9.
Please help. Thanks.
Oh, seems no one knows...
BTW, was able to find the sort of answer to (2) that dialing 1611 will actually call 611 and will not dial Sprint.
Your answers can be found in development section in GSM unlock and here in q&a I believe,good luck

Thank you. Fond there, on page 18, osopol4r said go to /system/apps and delete the following apps:
SprintDM.apk
SprintSyncMLSvc.apk

SprintDM.apk.bak
SprintSyncMLSvc.apk.bak
And the phone did not want to activate.

If you can afford this phone and a mac, you can afford a pc. You dont need anything high end, go pick up a $300 laptop. Hell, if you look around, you can probably find something sub $300.
I have parallels which is running windows 7 but dunno if that would work?
I ran VMware on my Mac to achieve root and it worked liked a charm.

It can be unlocked to work on Tmobile in some markets depending on what frequencies are available where you live. I am currently using my SPH-L720 on tmobile in PHX AZ . Some users have reported Net10 working and others ATT but I have never investigated this. If you want to see how it works I have compiled a guide that outlines the steps I took to make it work on Tmobile. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530610 Also look in the International SIM unlock thread in Development and the GSM data thread in general for further tips.
Also I'm sure it can be flashed to boost you just need the PRL file to flash. Check out this thread.
