My T-Mobile Tab is unlocked?

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.

How to remove "This SIM card is from an unknown source"

Im on Stock NC4 firmware and i get this message "This SIM card is from an unknown source".
How to get rid of this message because i use a different sim and im rooted.

Go to notifications in the pull down menu... press and hold the notification until you see "app info". Click that then click "force stop". This pops up every time you restart your phone so this is one way to get rid of it.

You can freeze the setup wizard app too then it won't pop up after restart any more. I use the titanium backup app

Another option is to use Xposed Framework and the NotifyClean module. I use it to hide the ongoing notification for my Gear watch.

Which Sim card did you get from straight talk? ATT, T-MO, or VZW?
I have the VZW Sim card. I tried the ATT Sim carf only had 4G no lte b/c n900v can not support att's bands. I tried T-MO Sim super fast lte speeds but I had horrible coverage. I now have the VZW Sim excellent coverage but lte speeds are capped at 5.5.

How to restore cellular service

I've recently installed Lollipop GPE 5.0.1 and noticed that I no longer had cellular service. I then reinstalled stock 4.4.2 (NG2). I still don't have cellular service. When I go to Settings/Connections/More Networks/Mobile Networks, the Network Operator option is greyed out. Also, the cellular icon has a red X over it. Any ideas how to update the cellular service? By the way, my SIM is for RingPlus (a Sprint MVNO) which has worked fine on this phone prior to my installing Lollipop GPE. Any hints would be much appreciated

Update PRL and Profile in Settings/System Updates. If that doesn't work, dial ##72786# in the dialer. This did a network reset.

Having the same issue. So the only way to get an update prl is through a touch wiz rom right? I tried Sacs and its stuck on trying to connect. then went to dialer and there is none. So i tired a different rom with dialer and it says i have no mobile service. Anything else I can do?

Will that give me knox? I am trying to avoid that if possible. Also do you have a link to a stock rom.

Android Development... All ROMs are there. Why are you trying to avoid Knox? It won't prevent you from doing anything.

Sounds like your baseband is not compatible with your ROM/bootloader..

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.
