I'm leaving the country on Sunday and I need to be able to use my phone with an international SIM. What is the quickest way to international unlock it by then? I see a lot of conflicting information like I can't downgrade from NG2 or something like that. Any help?
Hope This helps.

if you need any help; please pm me, or search this site for answers. I am sure you are not the first person, to want to do this or to have this question.
Before you continue; please note that i am not liable for any damages, that may occur to any the devices you attempt this on.
To undo any and all of the changes that you are about to make to your phone(**NOTE** the following will erase all data on your phone so backup everything you want to keep.), (1) first download an app called MSL utility and write down your MSL code on a computer, or any other device maybe even pen and paper.(2) go to your phone settings hit activate this device when it is done loading do not click done.(3) click on the menu button and go to PST settings. (4) go to the ##SCRTN# menu and follow what it prompts you to do, your phone will then reboot automatically. (5) do steps 2 and 3 over again and go to the ##RTN# menu and follow the prompts your phone should than reboot automatically and now you should see an invalid SIM sign. **NOTE** any time it asks you to enter a code it means enter you MSL code. Remember to undo these steps first. (No. 2)**NOTE** when your done with steps below download BuildProp Editor(you must have root), and click on the pencil icon; scroll to the bottom, and add these two lines: ril.sales_code=LOL ro.csc.sales_code=LOL)
No. 1) = No, you do not need to downgrade.

with sim inside the apn should be set automatically. If not, well than google your apn, and add it manually.
done.
This is a re-post(i would thank whom ever posted this, though i do not recall where i found it.); because i am to lazy, to write it from scratch.
1. Use ssu.apk to unlock it first
2. use cf auto root to it
3 .use adb:
su
am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://27663368378
UMTS -> DEBUG SCREEN -> PHONE CONTROL -> NETWORK CONTROL -> GCF
There the phone is domestic unlock without downgrading the modem.
1. be on stock NG2. ssu.apk force-closes on aosp/custom roms.
2. Run ssu.apk and do the unlock. This does not require root.
3. do the other commands through ADB(step 3 Above), just in case. You may or may not need them. I don't know why it worked for me without them. That step DOES require root.
4. Test your sim card and make sure your phone can read it, and if possible, make a call, try text/data, whatever.
You're Welcome!
I had NAE i downgrade to mdc then unlocked it and after that i download firmware which is NG2-xas i think and after upgrading its still unlock.
For that method and files you can search international sim unlock.
Its easy to do it.

Thanks so much for the quick response!
Couple of things, I actually called Sprint to ask them to unlock it for international SIMs, and they said they'd go ahead and do it. I flashed back to Stock and did the UICC Unlock thing in the menu like they told me. The phone rebooted. I think it's unlocked then, correct? If not, I'll go ahead and do this method tonight.
Also, does this phone support LTE (Is that the right term) on international GSM networks or just 3g?
Thanks!

it may be unlocked; you would not know for certain unless, you attempt to insert an international sim card.
Depending on which country you are traveling to. Some countries only have 2-G, then there is some that use 3-G, some also utilize HAPA+, and LTE. It also depends on the sim card they give to you. If the give an LTE sim card, it may work (for LTE or HSPA+). Though it depends on which band/frequency, its relying on. click here to see LTE frequency data sheet. click here to select the country you are traveling to, this way you'll know if you will be able to be on a favorable network.

I don't know if that's true. What i do know is that the last time i was in Israel, i used Golan Telecom, and i only had a 3G connection. i do know that they state they have a 4G-Lte network, but i guess i'll have to find out in a few months from now.
good luck.

I'm not responsible for what might happen on your phone if you choose to dial any of these!
These are the codes that work on the standard phone dialler app on the Orange San Francisco, but I'm pretty sure they'll be almost identical on other models that we collectively know as "ZTE Blade". Known small differences (in texts) are down to whether the firmware expects to be running on an OLED or TFT display, and whether you've deleted seemingly unused apps like ChiperTest.apk, fcctest.apk and QcNvTest.apk. Most are prefixed with "*983*", which is "*ZTE*" in phone letters -- I've added a mnemonic for the other part where I think it's obvious (feel free to suggest better ones!).
"Automatic Inspection" runs through the basic tests automatically (usually you need press a button to move on to the next bit -- don't get thrown by any blank colour test screens!). There are a number of interesting items for developers, with hardware info and other goodies. If any of the descriptions don't make the function obvious then it's either poorly written or I don't know exactly what it does (I'll happily update this if others can explain better).
If the code has been recognised by the dialler then it will react immediately when you enter the final "#". If nothing happens when you've done that, don't press Dial!
Edit: on the ROMs based on the Japanese 2.2 you need to put the phone into "Engineering Mode" first, by dialling *ZTE*OPENEM# (*983*673636#) -- this action will be confirmed by a quick pop-up. To close this mode, dial *ZTE*CLOSEEM# (*983*2567336#) -- this then prompts whether you want to do a Factory Reset, which you do not have to do (you can simply Back away from this screen).

Hello, what code shude I use to know if my SF is TFT or Amoled?
Regards!
Check the build number in Settings>About Phone. AMOLED ends in 05, LCD ends in 08. IIRC all white SF models are 08 and most grey are 05 (unless its a newer unit which will likely be 08).
Thank´s man.
Mine is 01. What that means?
Looking at the screen characteristics it seems like LCD.
Thanks man. great post
Really nice. Works on Boost Mobile Warp Sync N9515.
Would you happen to have a code that forces prompt for unlock? (Changing sim cards doesn't trigger anything)

I think unlocking the Boost Mobile is a lost cause. I've tried several other sims and the only codes I've found to show the unlock menu don't work:
1) Alright then please remove the SIM card and try this code ###825*09#,
2) Got the prompt for code? Please enter the code you received,
3) Failed above, try *983*8284# to access the Unlock Menu,
4) Failed above, finally try *983*865625# to access the Unlock Menu.

How did you enter / enable adb? I have a 971 and the 2nd code from your site doesn't work, I am able to enable eng. mode
I also tried the connect to computer in control panel and that doesn't do anything either.

I haven't had a chance to try it fully yet as I have been trying to root my girlfriends Moto e4 with magisk which I will probably have done by the end of the night and then I plan to tackle my z982 will keep you posted though
I recently bought a second-hand SGS, supposedly locked to 3. The firmware was from 3 UK, but when I punched in *#7465625# it showed all locks are OFF.
Hot for tasty Froyo, first thing i did was to upgrade from the branded Eclair ROM the phone came with to an unbranded stock Froyo ROM. Kies gave me a hard time so I used ODIN. Then I inserted my SIM and realized I could not make calls or even register on my GSM network. (Had not tried the SIM before, so I don't know if the flash caused this)
I found out that the flash had changed my Product Code to KOR, but I managed to change it using THIS GUIDE. However, the step "rm -rf /efs/nv_data.bin.md5" did not work as it was write/read protected. After reboot, the SIM didn't work so I did the "busybox chown 1001:1001 /efs/nv_data.bin". The procedure changed the Pcode to H3G, which I think is the original code, although I was going for XEE.
IMEI has not changed (*#06# gets same no. as is printed below battery)
I live in Sweden, my present CSC is XEE, Product Code is H3G. Network Control Key is 00000000, could this be related?
I considering doing the Product Code change procedure again and see if I can change it too XEE hoping that will fix it, but I'm not even sure this is related to my problem.
Other than that, I'm running out of ideas. However, I'm new to the SGS scene. I'm reaching out for someone with more experience to give me some new ideas.
I've spent hours and hours at this and I've googled like possessed. If I'm being a noob or have overlooked something, let me know - just tell me what I should do to fix this phone.
Go into Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks and check that Network Mode reads as auto mode. Then open Access Points Names and check that APNs are listed that suit your carrier.
If all of that checks out, go into an app like SGS Tools and use the secret code to check Band Selection.
Thanks for your reply!
I have inserted APN for data. Though, is this really necessary just for 2G calls and SMS?
When I choose "Select Automatically" in Settings/Wireless and network/Mobile Networks/Network Operators then I sometimes get "Registered on network". Then, when trying to call, I get "Data network not available". Band Selection (from SGS Tools secret codes) show:
= BAND SELECTION =
[1] AUTOMATIC []
[2] WSCDMA BAND []
[3] GSM BAND []
[4] COMBI BANDS []
When I select the network operator manually, I get "Unable to select network. Select automatically".
An alternative Go to Rom Kitchen build a rom with
XWJS8 > Hardcore Kernel >CSC CPW > Modem JPY and whatever else you require that should give all UK main networks .

I got Data Network not available when I was investigating my phone (that is, messing about) and changed my Network Mode. Go to Settings > Wireless and Network > Network Mode and choose GSM/WCDMA Auto mode. If you don't have connection, then try first GSM Only, then WCDMA Only...then back to both.
And yes, you need to have a data network connection to make calls. Not sure why. Must be something to do with billing.
I would hate to be right but are you sure, as you've bought it second hand, that it hasn't been registered as stolen? Do you know any history of the phone?
Product code should be GT-I9000HKDXXX, where XXX should be your CSC which is XEE that makes it: GT-I9000HKDXEE, you should not use H3G at all.

Weird, I was sure APN is only required for MMS and Internet, not for calls and SMS. Anyway, I have APN so that's not it.

No, I don't and I can't be 100% sure it's not stolen. However, I have a bill of sale with all his information and I know where he lives so if that's the case, it can be sorted.

I think you are right, and I managed to change it so now both CSC and Product Code reads XEE, which should be correct for Sweden. However, the problem remains the same.
There is a possible solution from HERE, however it seems rather ...old. Having no other ideas I'll try it unless someone comes up with a better idea:
Richthofen said:
Possible problems (I had them all due trying different thing to solve it):
No service.
There is no service even a functional SIM card is inserted.
You cannot receive or make calls, receive or send sms, etc (obviously).
Freeze / lock-down.
The phone will not react to anything besides pressing power key.
You cannot unlock the display to enter PIN code.
Wrong PIN code.
The phone will not accept any PIN code on any SIM (even the correct one ).
Phone displays "wrong PIN code" message even the try counter (three strikes you know) does not change.
Product code changed to KOR.
= Blocked Kies updates (without a registry "hack")
Here is how to fix any or all of them:
Downgrade to I9000XWJM9 firmware with Odin (as usual).
Remove SIM card from the phone (to be able to boot in first place) and start the phone.
Gain root access and install "Root Explorer" (or similar), ADB works too.
Open Root Explorer and go to the "EFS" folder in the root.
Check the date on .nv_data.bak and .nv_data.bak.md5 files.
If it is earlier than 08/26/2010 you´re clear, if it is later then you may stop reading.
Once the date has been checked, select files nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 simultaneously and delete (yes, delete) them. Reboot the phone.
Now your phone is in the same condition (atleast permanent memory wise) as it was prior I9000XXJPC update.
There is a safety feature I would call "a dead mans switch".
If the current nv_data files are deleted, the phone will make new nv_data files from the .bak (backup) files (if they excist). The new nv_data files will be signed automatically so they pass the checks (none of the errors listed above will occur). However if they do not excist, the phone will just write an empty / test file (= IMEI corrupted, no service, etc). Also if you just rename .bak files they will have wrong signatures and the same problems will occur.
There is no bootloaders included, so it is safe to flash for everyone.

Have you tried doing a factory reset? May not work but may be worth a try.
Could only be either apn related (doubtful), faulty sim or stolen/lost phone. Unless hardware related.

Thanks, it seems a long shot but I will try it tomorrow.
I've already flashed the phone to XWJM9 with correct CSC folllowing the guide in my previous post. Restoring nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 from the .bak files didn't help, the .bak files were just three days old so the data there might have been contaminated.
As far as I can tell there's either a hardware fault, the phone is stolen, or I've messed up the precious data in /EFS by my first ODIN flash, before I did the back-up. Every guide should have that backup procedure as first step, mine didn't. :'(
I've mailed my operator so hopefully I'll get an answer tomorrow to whether the IMEI is blocked.
"No service" sucks...

if you have a problematic firmware that won't allow you to edit your APN settings in the dialer hidden menu, this may be what you need.
first, the warnings:
1. THIS IS ONLY FOR SPRINT SAMSUNG PHONES RUNNING TOUCHWIZ ROMS!!! never attempt on any other carrier or manufacturer's device or alternate roms! it should most likely work on other Samsung Sprint devices with stock/touchwiz roms.
2. DEPENDING ON DEVICE, YOU ARE MOST LIKELY TO BE FORCED TO FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE IN THE PROCESS, which likely includes LOSS OF ALL DATA ON INTERNAL SD!! take all necessary precautions.
3. ROOT REQUIRED
4. you will STILL NEED your MSL number!!!
5. have a FULL backup in TWRP ready in case anything goes wrong. INCLUDE your EFS in the backup!!! again, INCLUDE YOUR EFS. make sure it's stored on EXTERNAL sd card. again, EXTERNAL SD CARD!!! or copy it to your PC if you don't have an external card.
here's the short but sweet guide.
1. download "Samsung Phone Info" from Google Play
2. swipe over to the CSC section.
here you should see:
Firmware's CSC Code
Active CSC Code
Available CSC Code
3. if Firmware's AND Active both say XAS, you should already be able to edit your APNs using your MSL number.
if Firmware and Active codes do not match, you have a dirty rom and I am unable to help you correct it, you'd best try a different stock based rom or 3rd party that allows it by default.
if Available CSC Codes does NOT include "XAS" then whoever modified the customized stock touchwiz rom you're using removed it and you'd best try a different stock based rom or 3rd party that allows it by default.
4. using any CSC editor, change "SPR" in ALL places it appears as only the 3 letters "SPR" to XAS
5. confirm changes and reboot. you will now most likely lose ALL personal data on your phone and should now be able to edit your APN using your MSL inside the dialer's hidden menu.

Have you found a way to retrieve your MSL without calling sprint? I've tried all the tool apps in the play store and using a logcat within the ##3282# menu with no luck. Getprop ril.MSL yields nothing, not even a not found error.
I've tried calling sprint for my MSL but refuse to release it.. I'm not exactly on their "nice" list - they've even called to tell me I'm "using too much of my [UNLIMITED] data" many times so I don't expect much from them anymore..
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated
try the Sprint chat -- through the website, NOT Facebook, and have a good reason ready as to why you need the MSL, other than for bypassing their security lol
Holy **** after searching high and low I have FINALLy found a way to get back editing my APNS for hotspot on my rooted Sprint Note 5! AND I keep Android Pay! Thanks so much!!
This works perfectly! Only thing is turn on hotspot option disappeared from settings. I can turn it on and off from the top bar if I swipe down. OR I can download a hotspot shortcut app and access it from that app.
Also I noticed my icons for LTE now say 4G and the bars are different too - more old school.
I noticed I changed EVERY SPR to XAS - do ALL of them NEED to be changed to enable APN editing? Can I switch back the ones that give me back hotspot option in settings and stock LTE & bars icons?

this **might** be fixed by renaming (or deleting, if you're brave) the features.xml file, if I remember correctly, stored in system/csc/ or system/etc/ not sure honestly
features.xml.backup should do just fine.
if the rom doesn't boot afterwards or if the dragons catch all your apps on fire, go back to recovery and use TWRP's file manager to change it back
also, any xposed app (like wanam's) or other feature.xml adjusting apps (like GalaxyTools or Samsung Phone Info) can cause the problem to happen again.
the alternative / temporary / dirty-fix would be to create a shortcut to hotspot on your home screen:
1. download Activity Launcher from Google Play
2. launch and change recent activities to all activities
3. wait approximately 72 years for it to load
4. scroll to Settings and tap it
5. scroll to Hotspot and long-press it
6. tap create shortcut
7. never uninstall Activity Launcher -- instead just make it a hidden app (it's very small anyways)
I can just longpress hotspot toggle in slide down drawer from top no probz. Which CSC settings modifies the ability to edit APN? I want to put the rest back to SPR.

I used the msl code and everything appears the way you say it should... but the phone STILL says invalid sim!
What internal file must be deleted, the thing is unlocked on sprints end it just wont let go !

Hello,
I rooted Sprint Note 5 from Nougat to Magisk and went ahead to replace SPR into XAS in all files under system/CSC folder. APN Type is still coming greyed out. Any help will be appreciated.

[GUIDE] HTC Desire 626s Sprint - Sim Unlocking for GSM / LTE Band Unlocking
I successfully sim unlocked | unlocked LTE/GSM bands on the HTC Desire 626s Sprint variant using info from guides by @be free and @dr.faramroze. A big thanks to these fellas! You won't know it is unlocked until you put an active GSM Sim Card in. When trying a non active GSM sim it doesn't register correctly. I am unsure of why this occurs right now. When i get more time for this handset I will figure it out. I would recommend flashing the Unbranded MM 6.0 Stock Debloated Rom before doing these steps. It's much better and lacks all the extra garbage not needed. If you want to here is the download link - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZaQMcUMoGoKuZ781AJIKOrjubpx6frpK/view?usp=sharing
SIM UNLOCK WORKS ON: Sprint - HTC M9 / HTC Desire 626s / ??
LTE BANDS ON: Sprint - HTC Desire 626s / HTC A9 / Samsung Galaxy S5
Required>
1. Drivers
2. Applications I Uploaded/Linked
3. MSL/SPC
4. Phone with S-On / S-Off + SuperCID = better
5. Patience
Instructions:
1a. Start by downloading all of the files attached to this thread. If they do not download you can download them from [https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603843197] alternatively.
2a. Install HTC Drivers. If you do not already have them they can be downloaded from here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3KA7QCJCJgwTzlfd0N6a3RXWVU/view?usp=sharing
3a. Run the application named "Basic-Flasher" that you downloaded in step 1a. If it fails to launch this is because you don't have the required run times installed. Goto microsoft.com and download the latest packages. If it still errors just click "continue" and then click scan, select your port # then click connect. Next to Method in the drop down box select [HTC]. Now click Read SPC and your MSL/SPC should appear. Copy this to notepad, piece of paper etc.
4a. Dial ##3424# in your dialer and input your MSL/SPC you got in step 3. Now Choose [DM ON] and activate it. IF it is already activated simply deactivate then reactivate it. Goto search or run and type in "compmgmt.msc" and goto device manager. You should see the HTC diag port under Com Ports. Now you know it is open.
5a. Run the application named "NV Items Reader and Writer". Click [Port] in the top left and select your phone serial port #. Make sure both boxes in the top bar are checked and input your SPC/MSL in the box replacing 000000. Click [Connect] then click [Read]. If all goes well at the bottom of the application you will see in the logs "SPC is correct. Phone Unlocked". Make a backup of ALL your current NV Items by selecting 0-65535 after Range (Dec) and clicking [Read]. Save this and name it "nv_items_complete_original_backup.txt". Keep somewhere safe that you will remember.
6a. Now in Range (Dec) input 30159-30159 and click [Read] and save this with the filename "nv_item_30159_original_backup.txt" and save somewhere safe. Now click [Write] and select the file you downloaded in Step 1 named "unlock.txt". Write the file. Now goto [Mode] in the top bar and click [Reboot].
You're now SIM UNLOCKED! -
Try your active GSM SimCard now. I'm testing with ATT getting HSPA+ and loving my horrible 3G data speeds! But hey what can you expect. =]
Now to enable LTE Bands if you must (Not everyone will be supported). This mod enables obtaining LTE - bands 2,3,5,13,17,25,26 after making changes to NV Item values. Band 5 is reported to be excellent with great coverage. Making these changes will not damage your Modem / IMEI / Hardware.
Steps:
(To be continued)
can you show how to enable band ?
