Hi,
I already asked this question in context of another ROM but got no helpful reply.
Now I flashed completely fresh newest stock L720VPUGPI2_L720SPTGPI2_SPR and I still have this prompt.
This was tested on two different carriers, but this screen is the same. Carrier support says it's exclusively phone issue, however I didn't find any SIM-related option in settings.
How to suppress this screen?
what are you trying to do? use it on another carrier? or is it a sprint sim in the phone?

This prompt appears on any (re)boot. I do nothing special.
I've never used Sprint SIM, as I am not in US.
oh, its because its a sprint phone.
You should be able to remove it in this screen. I have a G900P (S5) and its heavily rooted and modified, but should he the same process

On some of the previous ROMs (AFAIR rooted one) I didn't experience such thing, so I am wondering maybe smb knows necessary setting to disable it.

im sorry, i wasnt trying to be captain obvious stock ROMs have to have that option in it somewhere, im not sure where tho. But the simlock is something that stock ROMs usually have built in. Are you averse to trying a non-stock ROM? Maybe a global ROM?

Youd be surprised... I usually live in the G900P forum, and trust me, youll see all kinds of SMH stuff.
If you have TWRP, your bootloader is ususally unlocked as it required an unlocked bootloader. Locked ones are relegated to things like safestrap. You can flash a ROM made for the international version of your phone, just dont Odin flash something not made specifically for your phone. Have you ever tried a CM11 ROM?
youdoofus said:

Not on this device. CM11 seems obsolete for me, as it is KitKat-based. Moreover it is dead now and development is halted, so installing it seems not reasonable to me.
Cm doesn't have updates anymore, but its still quite viable
i actually meant CM 13 tho

Just for info: after I switched off SIM lock prompt on Exodus ROM, it disappeared on all ROMs. Even the most odious Sprint stocks. So, bless to you, Exodus
It seems that this setting is hidden somewhere in hardware engineer menu, and unfortunately ROM devs don't bother revealing it to the user via GUI.

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.

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

Hi. This is an LG G3 forum, not samsung. LG does not uses ODIN to flash. And, at the moment, without a unlocked BL is impossible to flash a full recovery. The TWRP team has not released any version for G3.

I have a functioning version of TWRP on my tmobile g3 but that doesn't mean a newer version can not be ported to the g3.if that were true I wouldn't have TWRP on my phone right now. I'm guessing you're one of the unlucky g3 owners on one of the three locked networks?

Then this is not a flashable custom recovery. I have a D855 with unlocked network from factory and the bootloader is locked. As far I know, all versions of the LG g3 have locked bl. Doesn't matters the network. Or I'm wrong, in this case please help me because I need it to make backups and restore.
Please, can you explain how to flash? Not from adb. From flashtool. I cannot find any way to flash a FULL custom recovery. At the moment, the only recovery we have is a tethered recovery. Hopefully this will change soon...
Anyway, as you can see in teamwin official web site there is not any version for our g3 (any variants).

This will only work for the T-Mobile G3 with the unlocked boot loader. If you do not have the T-mobile Version DO NOT try this.
There is a fix for the mini screen you are talking about. You need to update TWRP to a newer version, which can be found here
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/d851 titled "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.3-d851.img"
Once the file is download, transfer the file to your phone.
1. Download Flashify from Playstore
2. Open Flashify and click on Recovery Image
3. A popup will come up, click Choose a file
4. Locate the file on your phone titled "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.3-d851.img"
5. Click on the file and a pop up will appear, click "Yup"
6. Boot to recovery to make sure everything went well
There is also another method to flash recovery(using ADB), but this is the easiest. If you are having any trouble let me know

That is not the recovery he is talking about. It seems he has the Tmobile G3, which is the only model that comes shipped with an unlocked bootloader. There is no way at this moment to unlock the bootloader on the other network providers.

Yes, Tmobile is the only one with the bootloader unlocked at the moment. LG did state that they are planning to offer an option to unlock the bootloader in the future, but so far nothing on that.
