Hey guys! I just got an Aquos that is still attached to an account so it's essentially no useable. I got the MSL from another post I found regarding an unlock and got my phone stuck in a LTE RUIM ONLY mode so I'm just like screw it, it's my new dev phone. Would anyone like to help make this possible?

Hi guys,
I have recently purchased a Sprint HTC Mogul 6800 on ebay, so this PPC is pretty new to me. I want to know if there's anyway to change the phone settings to Bell or Fido with this phone I have (I am located in Toronto, Canada).
I thought by unlocking and reflashing a new ROM on the phone will solve by problem I have, but seems like this is not working...
FYI, the phone currently has the previous owner information right now, I don't know what to do anymore... =(
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Don
Sprint Mogul
First is Bell and FIDO CDMA or GSM since Sprint is CDMA. Secondly your not going to get very far changing info with out your MSL and that the code that allows you to program or reprogram the phone. You'll have to obtain that from Sprint.
Mogul
Alright I decided to try an answer my own questions. You could potentially use it on Bells network but FIDO is GSM. I also found this post on how to recover your MSL. I havent tried it since I have my MSL. Good Luck

I have an HTC Surround that is for AT&T, and I'm with T-Mobile. Is there anyway to unlock for T-Mobile? I was doing some looking around on the forums and I found that you can but I'm not to sure on how to do it. I had flashed a rom by ansar that had an unlock on it, but it didn't work. So would I have to get on pre-NoDo? If so could you link me the downloads and or give me some sort of tutorial that tells you hwo to do it, because I have yet to find any tutorial on unlocking the HTC Surround.
Thank you!
Call AT&T 800-331-0500
Give them a landline phone number or any other non-AT&T phone number so they don't try to associate the phone with an account.
Tell them you won the phone in a contest (I did, from Microsoft at a conference) or procured it in some other way than buying off ebay/craigslist/friend - this way they won't be able to ask what account it used to be on.
Tell them you want it SIM unlocked They'll "research it" and should get back to you with one in a couple weeks via email.
So once its sim unlocked, no matter what you do. Like upgrade or hard reset. The sim unlock remains?
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.

Hello everyone.
Apologies in advance if this isn't the proper place to post this...
I have the Galaxy S4 through US Cellular (Model # SCH-R970). I am going on a cruise soon and am curious if there is anything that I can do to avoid crazy expensive charges and still be able to use my device. I asked around and someone told me to carrier/SIM unlock my device and get a new SIM card in the new country I am going to...is this accurate? I have rooted my device before, but haven't attempted to unlock it. When you get a new SIM card do you still have to purchase minutes/etc. If anyone can give me some broad information about the subject, I would much appreciate it : ) Thanks!!!
Hi,
First off, thanks to everyone that keeps this place running and helpful. I don't post here often because i don't mind doing my own research. So, Secondly...
My buddy bought me a Verizon Moto G4 Play for Christmas. Its a nice little phone. Anyway, I met Verizons criteria for unlocking the phone and they gave me the code. Their directions, told to me by a few csrs ( you know how it is, you rarely get the right answer the first time) was to put a sim from a different carrier in the phone, power it up and the phone will recognize the foreign sim causing thr phone yo open a network unlock code box. Enter the code, press ok, and the phone is unlocked.
Sounds like an easy plan except the box never appears.
If i put an active tmobile sim in and then look ay the phones stats under settings, all the right info is there. Network name, network state, the sims phone number....but the phone wont dial nor surf the web. There is notification saying this is not a Verizon sim.
I have spent hours here searching and reading. I am stuck. I am pretty skillful now, thanks to you guys, and have rootrd, modified, and even gotten viper4you to work on 6 phones and 3 tablets but now I ask for your help. I know .y Samsung s all dave a dialer code to get to the network areas but i sure as hell cant find a thing for this phone.
So, in summary, Moto G4 play, unlocking code from Verizon. No way to use or enter the code. Help??
Never mind. I figured it out. Big deal, data only. Its a Verizon phone till the end.
