Sprint Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720) WiFi Tethering?? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hey guys,
I have a GS4 (Sprint - SPH - L720) running Lollipop - 5.0.1 and not able to even find the tether option. I downloaded ES File Explorer to try and get it working. It turns on the wifi and is even detected by another device but it doesn't want to connect. Any idea what's going on??
Thanks for any help!
Jake

Can anyone help please??

You have to pay for the service unless you have a ROM that has it hacked, the only one I know for sure that has it is my ROM, Wicked X.

Thanks for the reply.
I live in Australia and purchased the unlocked phone from Hong Kong. It works ok but still has some GPS locking issues. I don't know if this has also got to do with paying for the service?
But since im in Australia not sure if it would work.
Would your ROM work well with my GS4? Is it stable??
Cheers

UNLOCK Help, Please

OK, I'm trying to unlock a Vibrant for someone else. I have read and tried several methods with no success yet.
I had Axura 2.2 and tired the SGSUnlock with no luck
I ODIN'd back to stock20100512.pit / t959UVJFD.tar and SGSUnlock still doesn't work. Ive tried two variants of it, nothing.
I have limited experience with ADB (driver issues between multiple devices so I use ADBWireless) and was able to get an nv_data.bak and used a hex gen to get this (screenshot).

According to notes, I'm to find the code separated by periods, but I have no periods. Anyone have an idea or can lead me to a quick fix?
Remaining questions, once I generate a code, will the code I use at stock 2.1 work once I flash 2.2 back on?
Thanks for any help or guidance, much appreciated!
anyone? Bump?
You're out of luck as far as SGS Unlock goes. Any ROM update JI6 or later corrupts the code in the nv_data.bin file. There is this method thanks to helroz that has worked though.

thanks for that... Seems like work Will an unlock code from TMO still work outright?

If you use this method I don't think so since it changes the actual code. You could always call TMO and get the code instead of doing it this way as well. Think it usually takes a few days.
If you need a unlock. Hit me up. No matter the rom. no matter the lock.
Same here. I need to unlock a vibrant I just got.

If you just got it then you are still on 2.1? Just search the market for "SGS Unlock", that'll do it.

P600 - Kitkat is rolling out in Germany

Ha! And it only took 5 months until the first 4.4 update in the US was released.
Don't know which version it is yet, but the update has 579 MB. I'm currently downloading it and will report the version as soon as I have installed it.
Something went wrong I downloaded the file and tried to install it, but after the Reset it said that the Firmware update could not be installed, I should try with PC (Kies). I connected to Kies but no new firmware was found. I tried to update OTA again, but it said that the newest firmware is already installed (it's still the old one)
I don't know if Samsung removed the OTA update again or my tablet has some issues. I'll wait for other German users to report.
No problem here, even after restart no problems.....

Cheers for letting me know @thomlh ... I have auto updates off incase its a duff update as I suffered problems with the last S3 update before they went back and stopped coz the S3 updates had loads of issues. I was stuck with a paper weight for a week.
Is it running smoothly?
P.s. create a new thread for UK update as I dont want to take credit for telling people - that way we can talk about any issues with the update for UK users.
I tried the update a second time this morning and now it worked. Great!

Sprint s4 sph l720 Octos CM13 6.0.1 help.

So I have a sprint s4 onrunning octos (cm13 build) on 6.0.1. I have the OK3 already, as I came from 5.0.1 already using OK3. My question is, what modems can I flash BACK to? Better yet what firmware can I downgrade / flash ? I am having the worst time trying to get my network settings to work. The APN settings are COMPLETELY GONE. There is no way for me to edit them. And the best I'm getting of service is 2 bars of 3G MAX, when I usually get almost full bars of 4G here at my house. I struggled to even get 3g working. Can anyone help me out?
Sph l720 sprint running Octos CM13 6.0.1. MY PHONE IS ON STRAIGHT TALK. I REPEAT MY PHONE IS ON STRAIGHT TALK. THE SERVICE PROVIDER IS NO LONGER SPRINT IT IS STRAIGHT TALK.
But for some reason, when I was having the phone activated I was having trouble getting the sim to work. But they told me that was because it did not take a sim card with straight talk. Also they never told me to use the provided network access code. The phone was literally sitting there for 3 hours NOT ACTIVATED. Because they said it was in progress. I asked if it was taking so long because of the sim card not being inserted. They told me no. But for some reason as soon as I put in the sim card BAM IT WAS ACTIVATED. could anyone please help me out in some way

SPH-L720T stuck on Global??

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.
