You can enter it without a network connection. When you get your unlock code it will come with instructions.

You need to stick in a SIM card from another carrier and it will prompt you for the unlock code. I have my code, but haven't had the opportunity to put in a different SIM card.

[Q] Can't activate, even with an official MS code

Hi Guys,
I can't seem to activate my HD2 :s
I tried the HD2O ROM, the Tiger 5.0 ROM and the Pdaimatejam ROM, which I all can't seem to activate (message: "invalid activation code").
I contacted MS for a activation code on two separate instances, they gave me in total 3 codes, non of them seem to work.
I used both my own phones IMEI and the one provided by the 'HD7 IMEI generator'. In both instances they gave me two activation codes, but the first activation code in the second chat with MS, was the same as the second code given to me in the first conversation. This suggest, that they don't even take the IMEI into account for the generation of the activation code.
I am currently located in an area without cellular coverage, but with a WIFI connection.
Do you have any suggestions that might help me activate my phone?
Some additional information:
Radio: Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14
HSPL: 2.08
Tried hard resetting?: Yes, multiple times
Dual boot: No, just WP
SD card: 8 GB Kingston

Wanted: Flashing Guide Sprint s4 to Page Plus

MOD EDIT: Offer of cash to perform these tasks has been removed and is not what XDA is about. This is a development site. This thread is being moved to Q&A where you can ask help how to continue the process on your own. Bounties may be offered for significant development for the community such as unlocking bootloaders, not for personal services
I'm technically inclined enough to flash my own roms, root my phone, flash radios etc etc. I'm just a little shy of being able to flash my phone from sprint to Page Plus.
I could go to a store and have it flashed, but I mess around with my phone too much to be going back every so often and paying them $40 a pop to do something that I am technically capable of doing.
I believe, what I need is a little guide on where to put what numbers when it comes to using QPST or DFS. I'm guessing since DFS is proprietary software I just dont have the correct license to have it recognize my Sprint S4. I have got QPST to recognize my phone by setting the correct com. I assume since it appears to be reading my phone all i need to do is put the numbers in the correct spots, possibly change some settings.
Phone is Rooted, twrp recovery installed, I already have my MSL, already have QPST talking to my phone by setting the correct com port. Due note, this phone has never been active on any carrier.
It would be nice if the guide would include:
1) What needs to be installed/flashed first. IE which roms/radios/firmwares/prls.
2) How to get into Diag.
3) How to get your MSL.
4) Which software (and version) is needed to input the correct codes/numbers to flash from Sprint to Page Plus
5) Exactly where and what numbers need to be into DFS or QPST.
6) Anything else I need to get the S4 over to Page Plus
7) 3g MUST work!
However, I have already accomplished 1-4. I'm assuming (a bad idea I know) I can get any codes/number I need from this thread.

Anyone help? .
You know what they say: give a man a fish he'll eat for a day, but teach a man to fish he'll eat for life.

I already have part of a guide.
I just need help with the last bit.
This guide is from [email protected]
Sprint S4 Diag instructions:
1.dial *#7284#
2. click qualcomm usb settings and choose DM+ADB+MODEM
3. then turn on usb debugging in the development settings
4. plug in
This part did not work for me as I was running CM. But once I flashed to stock it was easier.
The rest will assume your familiar with flashing and know what to do
16 digit passwords are the same as the s3 versions
uscc-2010031619780721
verizon-2009031920090615
sprint-01F2030F5F678FF9 or 2012112120131219
To set the verizon and uscc to nv only you will need to send both the 16 digit password and the spc
Verizon and USCC just read from the donor for your info and write to the phone make sure you set pref mode to cdma_hdr
sprint write data settings as normal sprint phone in profile 0 and 1 active will be 0 and place the 10.key in efs2 using dfs
uscc doesn't need any sim but will display the invalid sim error
sprint no errors
verizon some need a used sim some doesn't need any sim try without first
if you dont have a donor then just put the mdn and min and sid in the nam tab on dfs with a prl
and data tab user id will be [email protected] and pw will be vzw same for mobile ip tab
but don't half flash give your customers 3g if not i eventually get the business
Want to learn 3g look for my 3g flashing guide online Its free to download
Enjoy.

no one will help because it is about making money on knowledge they gained from these forums for free!!!!

[Q] Invalid sim card with a rooted GS5 SM-G900R4

Ok guys and girls I am pretty new at rooting a phone and the only reason I did was to see f I can use this Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900R4 from US Cellular. I called Samsung and was told to call US Cellular to find out how to use the phone on another network. US Cellular told me that the simcard reader would not read a sim card from another carrier. I installed my working Net10 sim card and the phone sys invalid sim card and does not ask for an unlock code, it just continues to say invalid sim card and I obviously have no network. I rooted the phone with CF-Auto Root and everything went well and SuperSU is installed. Phone still says invalid sim card and will not give me a network. I know settings can be changed with a rooted phone but don't know how to change these settings to make the phone use my network sim card. I use Net10 and he sim card works in my Galaxy S2 but I would very much like to use my new S5 phone. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Check if your phone is sim locked by using secret code *#7465625#
Or install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > 7465625 and tap 'Launch 0' to launch (root required).

I believe it is, it says
Network Lock
Network Subset Lock
SP lock
CP Lock

[Q] what does sprint unlock means

Hi
I have a Sprint Galaxy S4 and I try desperately to put sim cards from other carriers and foreign (French) sim cards but nothing works. I always get a guy's voice saying something like "your account has not been authorized for this type of call"
I have done all the possible "unlocking" of the phone, but I'm not sure what it really means:
-I have made the procedure where you get to the hidden "service menu" type "debug screen>network lock>..." (btw my SHA256 was already off, whatever it means. No change here.) (I had to downgrade the radio)
-I have successfully done what was indicate in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415587 with the "unlock" software, at that point the phone was not saying "invalid sim card" anymore (thanks, Autoprime!)
-I have rooted my phone, clean installed a new rom (I put negalite, quite cool)
-I have obtained my unlock code from Sprint, but I've never been able to use it. If I type ##
Code:
# I get to a menu where I prefer not touch anything
I don't know how to make sure that my phone is able to support GSM. How can I be sure? It has a SIM card slot but I'm not sure what that means (and on Sprint the phone works without the sim card). I'm going to Singapore in one month and I would have liked to use local sim cards.
That's a lot of questions! But I'm really lost here, and I don't see any post that seem to help me...
Thanks
