Hi all,
I was able to successfully domestic unlock my S4 thanks to this wonderful forum. Only one quick question remains. So on the status section on the "about phone" menu, the "My Phone Number" section still shows my old Sprint Phone number, even with a ATT or TMobile SIM inserted. Is there a way to change or remove that number? Thanks!

So everything works? Just don't go in the menu and you won't see it, I think that is something so minor I wouldn't even worry about it for fear of screwing up the Domestic Unlock. I'm sure there's a way to do it, just seems like a silly thing to be worried about to me.

Flash cyanogenmod ?
Lol, that's true. I know it is very minor. Just figured if it was something easy, I would change it. Thanks!
Lol, that's seems to be the solution by most for most things... ☺

So I just wanted to reply to my own question with what worked for me in case someone else in the future needs to do it.
As I mentioned, even after successfully doing the domestic unlock the phone still had my "old" Sprint number listed regardless of what SIM is inserted. Now this may not sound like a big deal, but keep in mind the phone rely's on that information when you click the voicemail icon or more importantly for group texting to identify your number in the messages.
The fix was simple. All you need is your MSL code. Please do a search if you need to know how to obtain that code specific for your phone. Once you have it, put ##MSL CODE# and the service menu will come up. Click edit and change both entries from your "old" Sprint number to whatever number is associated with the SIM card you will be using. Hit back and done. The phone will automatically reboot, and you should be all set. Check the status again after it boots back up and it should show the new number you entered. I can confirm that doing this did NOT impact the domestic unlock at all. Hope this helps someone else out there.

flash the jflteatt or tmo and no more sprint anywhere
You can flash stock at&t or CM variant on the sprint variants? Have you done this? @Black6spdZ

This is very strange, i was reading the following thread on how to Network Unlock the tab, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838424, and i decided to enter *#7465625# as stated on the thread to to see what would come up and to amazement it says that my tab is network unlocked. Now how could that be, i have not gotten an unlock code from T-Mobile and i tried to use the guide posted by Rotohammer, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843323, using Terminal Emulator, since i don't have ADB, but then i ended up with an error message halfway through entering the code so i didn't bother to retry and just decided to wait the 90 days to get the code from T-Mobile. I would need to get my hands on a non-t-mobile sim to see if it actually works.
Please see the pic bellow that shows my tab as Network Unlocked after entering *#7465625#. Again, i did not do any of steps listed on the thread i just wanted to see what i would get by entering the set of numbers.

Any thoughts on how this could had happen?
I would recommend to check your IMEI either way.
Hope it is not corrupted.
Your phone isn't unlocked because a screen says so. It's unlocked when you can put in another carriers sim and connect to their network.

I did break my IMEI so i could get data using my Vibrant sim, don't know if that had something to do with it.

Don't really have access to another sim (ex. AT&T ) to try it. Might have to wait untill i get my unlock code from t-mobile.

Try to restore original imei and check network lock once more. You would see it locked.
The safest way to unlock posted by Roto in details. I do not recommend corrupting imei like some other methods do in the end.
Managed to get a Sprint s5 G900p "network unlock - enter control key" box to pop up
As far a I knew it was impossible to get this to open on the sprint S5 (g900p). Could be I just never seen it posted. But now what do I do?

Type in your code if you can get it. How did you get it to come up?
This normally comes up when you put in a SIM of a different company than what the phone is locked to. You could get it from the company that locked it, or buy a network unlock code online.

Yes, I realize what the box is but from what I know it isn't supposed to come up on Sprint phones. Speaking of sprint, there are no codes to purchase for Sprint S5 as its unlocked ota. What did I do to get it to pop up: I Flashed MOAR V7 from OG1, then installed GT.APK (idoneapps galaxy tools) and clicked uicc unlock and the network unlock box popped up. The GT.apk is for gaining hotspot and international sim unlock. My phone is already int unlocked but never had box pop up messing with it. I'm curious if I can get a code and fully unlock.
* Also, Im aware that Idoneapps does have a domestic unlock for $35. But wheres the fun in that?
That's strange, cos once unlocked, it remains unlocked even if you changed ROMs. Try checking if that APP is forcing this come up again superficially.

It's remained internationally unlocked with all the poking around and different ROMS. However, my aim is to get a domestic unlock. And the free-er the better
The app probably is forcing it to come up superficially, but is it because of being on MOAR ROM? I've played around with the GT.apk on other ROMS and I personally never seen that box come up. But we all know what that box can (supposed to) do, and that's why I posted it up here on XDA.
So anyway, I decided to put my MSL code in the box and of course it said "unsuccessful". I knew it couldn't be that easy. Also, I was able to bring up the unlock box by using shortcut master as well (it reveals all secret codes on phone) so I guess the network unlock box isn't so elusive after all. I'm still very new to flashing custom roms and especially android and thought I stumbled on to something important but apparently not.
Hello, i have sprint g900 which i got unlock code from sprint, i tried to install different sim card but didnt get unlock screen but i heard u dial unlock code then press send to unlock from what i read, can i ask you how did u getunlock screen? Im very new to android root, any advice will help so i can root S5? Thank you
Samsung galaxy s5, version 5.0, VPU3BOG1
Why is all of this in the Accessories forum?
hii evrybody,
first i can't contact the seller because i buy it from my freind who bought it from another country ... he is a reliable seller and he always buy from him
well the phone was amazing smooth , great camera and all , just like any other galaxy S5
but one time i put my IMEI number into ( imei.info ) and boom the web cite says that this imei is for a Note 4
i cheaked the imei with *#06# and it's the same on the back of the phone
another freind say to me dial *#1234# and if the last 3 numbers from each line are the same that mean that the software isn't edited and it's official
well this is the result ....

and will i loose sim unlock if i flash it

Have a read through the forums, there are a good few others with the same thing, G900F on device info, the box, the sticker under the battery etc, but in download mode it says a different model, and that is the correct model

HELP ???
Hey All,
It's been a while since I've posted in here, but I have some questions I need answered that I have not found completely. I managed to sim unlock my Sprint Sph-L720 running android 5.0.1 and i'm currently using it under Cricket network. Where i'm going is, I want to put a custom rom on it but i'm not sure if it'll undo my unlock. Also, which rom would I use considering when I plug it in to my computer, it reads as a GT-I9505? Would I use SPH-L720 or GT-I9505? I see all over that an re-lock is unlikely, but not impossible. I just haven't seen anything to connect it to my experience (GT). Any help would be excellent and i'd be incredibly grateful.:silly:
Thanks again :good::good:

The unlock is in your modem, don't change your modem or firmware and you won't lose your unlock. As for the other, go by what the sticker under the battery says the model number is.

Hello everyone. I recently bought a few Galaxy S4's to resell. I kept and unlocked one, then sold the others on ebay. One of the buyers just contacted me and told me that they cannot get the phone working on their sprint account because Sprint says the phone is stuck on global mode. What is global mode and is there any easy way I can walk them through correcting it? I dont rememebr seeing a global setting in the *#0011# menu.
Thanks in advance.

I would tell them to Odin the stock software from www.sammobile.com that should reset everything to stock. Global mode is where it is unlocked and can use either a CDMA or GSM signal (as most of the world uses GSM not CDMA, hence the name global).

Thanks for the reply. I thought I used ODIN to format this phone before I shipped it, but I could be wrong. How can I make sure that the phone is able to work on sprint before I try to sell it again?

Yes, it does that as well... As for the last question, I don't know. Kind of hard to tell on an unactivated phone. You could try Freedompop, it's free and they use the Sprint network. If it works on there it should work on Sprint.
