Hi all,
I'm in Canada and I'm with Wind Mobile. I bought the M9 from the US (locked to AT&T) because I couldn't find it used in my area (Ottawa) and I won't pay full price for it. I bought it knowing that it worked with T-mobile and took a chance hoping that it will work with Wind. On the AT&T website it doesn't state that it has the 1700mhz band.
I unlocked it using the free method here on xda and rebooted. It worked! I have data, call, and text, all of them are working fine!
I'm starting this thread just in case someone was wondering about that.

Hi @Ramsey,
Thanks for the post! Could you let me know what you did please? Is your phone a GSM phone? I am holding an M9 international (M9u) version bought in Asia and I have tried DFS, QPST method of changing the NV values but it doesn't stick to ge the AWS 1700mhz band.
Could you kindly share how you did it?? Thanks!

Hi, I didn't do anything of that sort. I only unlocked the phone and it worked. Your version is different and requires modding I believe.

Dear @Ramsey,
Ooh. Thanks. I understand now. It probably meant that AT&T radio.img and sorts work with Wind. Will you be able to extract your radio.img for me please? I am dying to make it work, it has been close to 3 months already and my beautiful M9 is still refusing to work with my Wind line. :crying:
Most appreciated! Thanks!

Ah, sorry, but I sold the M9 months ago.
I would suggest creating a new topic or find a Canadian thread and ask there.
Hope you can get it to work!

Hello everyone
I've just got my hands on sprint galaxy s4. before you say anything about the thread already been made, I need to clarify that is model is the spark version SPH-L720T with "T" in the end. so far people are able to unlock the previous version of S4 but I couldn't find a thread regarding this particular model. So please can anyone help me unlocking this phone?
You didn't search. There's a thread for all questions regarding the Triband model. It is NOT possible to unlock that model at this time.

Isn't boost CDMA and not GSM like metro or Cricket. If so you have to flash the phone to boost.

The only thing I have found is you can do it yourself by purchasing CMDA workshop which is $100 or you can have someone else flash it to Boost from ebay for $50 to $60. Some people have you mail your phone and others will flash it remotely via teamviewer. Best thing to do is get your device on a stock rooted ROM. Get it flashed to Boost and then install a custom ROM if you wish. I am personally going to get it flashed remotely after I repair my cracked LCD screen on my S4 and after I get it on a stock rooted ROM. Hope this helps.
Just search ebay for flash to boost

Hello,
I ordered this great Crystal phone form Japan, and , of course, it is locked. It is a beautiful item but not useful locked..
I don't arrive to root it (try a lot of Tools for 4.4.2), neither reboot it in bootloader mode (?), neither use fastboot (waiting devices)...etc.. and neither unlock ! (just recovery mode ("+" & Power On) with only a small menu Erase/Cancel)
My knowledge is poor about these subjects, I'm a "small" developer ..
Someone can help me/us ?
Thank you
I want to order it too.. but I din't find any clue about how to unlock it. So any help will be apreciated.
I need root so bad for the Wi-Fi tether hopefully we get it soon for this amazing phone.

thanks, but i've already got a jap mod.
jap mod seems commented out implementation of SIM unlock on the Android side before compiling(aka conditional compile).
hope the modem side remains unlocking support.

I sent you a pm with my Sprint system dump.
I have the boost model and was hoping something was going to happen. Think sprint version would be any different concerning root with to boost?
Sent from my 306SH using XDA Free mobile app
Doubt if a US Version (306SH) can be used on a Japanese handset (305SH) and vice versa. The US one is CDMA while the Japanese one is GSM, usually this means the radio file will be incompatible.
Would be awesome if someone could manage to unlock the 305SH, but it won't be an easy task. Looking forward to it though. At the mean time, I am comfortable using it as an Android counterpart of iPod Touch
J Williams on YouTube confirmed boost mobile version to be semi unlocked he tested with T-Mobile Sim ..incoming calls and text had to be routed through google voice but outgoing calls text and data worked fine
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app
I have a T-Mobile phone but it's a micro sim, not nano, which is needed. Wish I could try on the Sprint version which I have.
Cut it down to a nano
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app
Then it won't work with the phone I have.
give up
J. Williams is misinforming you guys. Inserting the tmobile sim card doesn't do anything(i've already tried it).. the phone was still using the CDMA of boost! .. i hope someone can unlock this.. this is such a beautiful phone in person!..

Here's a conversion kit that somebody made for Verizon Moto phones running android:
http://www.internauta37.altervista.org/how-and-patch-fully-enable-gsm-verizon-cdma-phones-android
I was thinking that since there's a sim card slot we could modify the build.prop (as the link above suggests) for the cdma variants to convert the phone to gsm? I really want this phone, but I'm on At&t with the Oneplus One and I really don't want to pay for two different services
Has any of you guys tried all standard rooting tools?
towelroot, etc...
Is there anyway to flash docomo rom on this one?(vice-versa)
This thing has snapdragon 400, which definetally has gsm bands, we just need to get to them,
i'm 100% confident we can get it to work with all the carriers, IF it can be rooted.

I am currently running a G900A (AT&T branded phone with locked bootloader) i am in the process of buying a used S5 but not sure if the bootloader is locked. Here is the phone info that the guy provided to me.
Sm-g900f , g900fxxu1anc9 , 4.4.2
Like i said in on AT&T S5 so i am not familiar with the F models. Any info would be much appreciated.
Is it rootable through towel root? Can i use TWRP or CWM south this device. It is carrier unlocked and he is using it on T mobile (gsm) so I'm guessing it will work on AT&T since is uses GSM as well. Thanks for any help.
Edit: my apologies for posting in the general section. I thought i clicked on the Q/A thread.

Thank you. I've been searching about it and finding a lot of different answers. The T mobile guy at the T mobile store says if i flash a T mobile rom that has the lte band active then i should gain the lte connectivity. Hopefully that's the case. 3g is to slow for me. LOL.

Unlock all bands.
Go into the secret menu. Try downloading Phone Info app for this.
To unlock all the bands try this. Go to UE Settings/Settings/Protocol/NAS/Network Control/Band Selection and select LTE all bands.

Hey Folk,
Will the Sprint variant of the HTC 10 work on tmobile? Thanks in advance!
I am also curious about this!
It will need to be modified, unlocked bootloader, TWRP and S-off. Most likely you won't see a thread for this as the US Unlocked version can work on T-mobile

Hi bro, i have unlocked my 626s in the past with this seller and so i asked him about my HTC 10 half week ago. He told me that he can but that the data would not work and i accepted for 35.00 (phone will be used overseas and they don't care too much about data) checked my SIM with T-Mobile and yes, voice and messages working great but no data. He said he was working to fix it or something (i don't really care now because phone will be in another country on a few days lol)
Didn't find the listing that i bought but find a similar one, but ask him to see if he can help you.

I haven't been here on the Essential Phone threads in a while and was wondering if the 2018 Nov, Dec, 2019 Jan, updates re-lock sim? I unlocked the "SimLock" back when Essential sent a trigger in an prior update. I haven't updated since the few latest updates and was wondering if anyone had any sim re-lock issues after updating.
Thanks in advance...

Excuse me if wrong, I think threre is the Sprint variant and the unlocked variant? I'm thinking maybe you have the Sprint Variant? I'm am fairly confident that if I am wrong and there is a Verizon variant that it would be unlocked anyway. I believe that the Pixel 3 is the first phone in years to be sim locked to Verizon. I don't know if this is helpful information for you or not ? IDK but maybe it will help give a more complete picture? Good luck and sorry I can't help out more.

Thanks, definitely my mistake, it's definitely a Sprint, unlocked. But even though it's unlocked there was an issue with sim lock and I would like to know if anyone who's updated to Jan, 2019 without SimLock issues. No worries! Thank you friend for helping out.

Thanks my friend. I actually had to go the this very procedure that you actually recommended during I believe the April update of 2018. I was wondering if the January, 2019 update figured out how to fix exploit to get around the old SIM unlock procedure that you just recommended. Good news, I updated to the January, 2019 update without any issues! Thanks for bringing this to my attention because I forgot to update the post that I figured it out. Have a great day friend.
