Is your device rooted? If so, the task is simple, a root explorer, navigate to /system/app/ and delete all files with sfinder in it

Noup, no root here.

Can we confirm that? I'm not seeing a lot of the frequencies t-mobile needs http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4988 listed as being on that variant.
Edit: Vodafone shows for the F
2G GSM (frequency bands) 850/900/1800/1900MHz (type frequency bands)
3G GSM (frequency bands) 850/900/1900/2100MHz (type frequency bands)
4G LTE (frequency bands) B1(2100),B2(1900),B3(1800),B5(850),B7(2600),B8(900),B20(800)
T-Mobile says:
LTE: 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz
3G/4G: 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz
Wikipedia says, re: T-Mobile:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_US#4G_LTE_upgrade
I think for now, no LTE and if you're lucky and have 2100mhz you get 3G. It looks like in the next year or two that you may end up getting higher speeds after all as a result of them upgrading their 2G bands and repurposing the spectrum they bought from MetroPCS.

is it safe to proceed if I don't find the "OEM enable" option in the developers option? I was able to enable USB debugging but there is no OEM anywhere

Yes it is safe. If you don't see the option in the Developer Option, then you shouldn't need to enable it.

Or you can upload link or file to root for me ?

Seeing as you couldn't be bothered to reply to my previous post I'll post this anyway.
The links are exactly the same as the links below, please DO NOT use 3rd party links.

Why do other members not respect my wishes when asking NOT to direct link to my files?
I respectfully request the OP to remove those links, I do not support my stuff being used for ad linking. Please direct link to the thread on XDA.

thank you. I did it and it rooted.
But I did this so I could install google play and I still can't.
I bought my device in China. It comes with baidu preinstalled and no sign of google.
I thought if I rooted it I would be able to install google services and then google play and etc.
I rooted it but when I run the APK for google services, it installs it and when I go to add an account (I tried both "new account and existing") it gives me a error message:
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server"
"This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call customer care."
Device details: "Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T815C"; Android 5.0.1;
I am using the device only with wifi at the moment. is there anyway to get google services, google play installed in this device? please let me know.
thank you!

IIRC installing the Hong Kong rom works on the China devices.

I appreciate your video, but please could you remove those download links from your YouTube post. I ask all members not to direct link to my files as I can't support updates otherwise and I do not support ad linking either.

Zenfone 5 get frozen and automaticlly reboot every 5mins.

Dear all,
I have tried so many solutions but problem stood still, i have tried every rom i found in forum, flashed another boot images.
First, i tried to install cm12.1 on my device and this problem happen, it frozen and automaticlly reboot even in recovery mode. So can u guys explain to me? im very appeciated.
Many thanks.

Unlock bootloader is not compatible with your motherboard (which generally cause freezing issues)/
Try to relock the bootloader and revert back to stock.

Bên forum zenfoneviet có mấy người nói là do tùy máy unlock bootloader bị đó.. Máy t TOOF cũng bị này :v
