Hey guys just bought a used sgs4g from T-Mobile I want to unlock it for use on other GSM networks. O have been at it for two hours but I can't seem to get it.
I've been using dagentooboys tutorials and free app but neither work.
I can't find the 0x1469 address on the NV_data.bin
Someone please help
Thank you
You can call up tmob after a while and have them unlock it for you
I think it's 90 days...or it might be 1 phone every 90 days...just call and ask.the worst that can happen is that they say no. tell them you ate going out of the country. Europe. Do it big

Haha except I don't have service with tmo. I'm just using it on wifi ...any other ideas?
Try going into a Tmobile store and asking...or 3rd party cell stores...

Do the guides no longer work?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
the guides work, but there are a lot of people that mess things up. Its easy to break and very tough to fix. I'm just trying to save you a lot of trouble. If you do follow a guide, make sure you read the entire thread. And back up your efs folder.

Did you pay cash for the phone? You can call them since they're the sellers of it.

Hmm I guess what I mean is if they no longer work because of updates? I see the latest unlocking guide was updated in May

So I want to unlock my phone and i'm wondering the best way to do this.
I have seen those unlocking sites, and wondering if that's the way to go.
Is there a way to do it myself for free? If so that would be the best any ways if you know of any threads explaining how to do so
Thanks in advance.

I locked mine with a code I bought from eBay. No annoying TMO reps to deal with and if you are not a TMO customer best way to go.

Flash valahalla, audiophile or icbinb gb and that will fix all your problems. I got so used to the smoothness and speed of these roms that stock is just not usable for me anymore.

you need to repost this in Q and A
this is a place for developers not questions, move your thread the the Q and A section of the SGS 4G forums.
Stick it in potting soil and water it well. In about a year you can pick the ripe cellphones off the tree.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
First thing is that this is not the place for questions. Second is that there are too many reasons to root your phone to list here. Just read all the threads to get an idea. There are 2 bad sides to rooting. 1 you loose your warrenty. It becomes void. 2 if you mess up your phone beyond repair you have no warrenty.

Just to add a bit to that: you really have to do something stupid to hard brick your phone. The worst case scenario for flashing the proper things would be soft bricking. Flashing the wrong things would hard brick you.

Before you Get flamed anymore be sure to read the three sticky threads. Mr. Clown and lufc are the mods for this forum and will move this thread to general where it belongs. They also lay out some of the ground rules to help prevent flaming. The Bible finally got stickied, there you will find all the info you need about rooting, custom roms, themes, and mods for our phone. There is a great tutorial on how to root a well. Finally This device its very unique so don't stray too far from gs4g forums, that its how most get into trouble. Lighten up and Happy flashing

i have no intentions of flashing to another carrier, but several thunderbolt users i've seen have been able to flash to pageplus. you may need CDMA workshop if you want to do it yourself, i think CDMA workshop is around $100.00. there's a free demo version too, but i'm not sure that the demo would be sufficient to do this.

I'm not sure that you can 'unlock' an meid yourself, that's something the carrier has to do (with stolen phones and whatnot)
So if it's on her account, she'll have to get in touch with them herself and give her IMEI number and account details. They should then give an unlock code to make the phone usable again.
If that IMEI number has been flagged (as stolen or possibly delinquent) even an unlocking service won't be able to help you until the carrier clears it.

What you are looking for is to CLEAR the MEID/IMEI so that it can be used on another account.
You can't do that. Only the carrier can. Until the account is settled/paid with the carrier, that MEID/IMEI will be associated/assigned to that account and therefore can't be used on a different account.
Since PagePlus uses VZW towers/service (to my knowledge), you're stuck until the old account issues are settled.
Yup I'm stuck with Wi-Fi only thunderbolt this sux I guess she won in the long run although I have seen some nice prepaid phone's I seen an HTC one and some evo 4g's that have ics and are affordable virgin mobile and boost have unlimited data

So someone else didn't pay the bill for your phone and you're mad about it? Why don't you pay for your own phone?
