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

Hey everyone, I recently traded my Galaxy Nexus for the GS3 and normally, I get right down to the rooting/unlocking/flashing process, however one thing has been holding me back. The gentleman that I traded my device with worked directly for Samsung and said that the GSIII that he was giving to me, was in fact a development testing device only given out to employees. I was wondering if there is a way to verify this as I know that this could be a potential gateway to future discoveries if this is in fact the case. If any of you have thoughts on this then please share. I've been itching to scratch this flashing bug of mine -_-
Could you post a screen shot of your device "about section"

Sure. Here it is.
Doesn't look any different than mine at first glance.
I hope you didn't pay extra

Alright cool man thanks lol I didn't pay anything actually, It was a straight up trade Nexus for Galaxy S 3

This is what a test phone from HTC looks like.
If this person's claims are true, you should go to the IRC and chat with the devs there.
They could possibly find useful information before you get to using your device as normal- again, assuming this is true.
Yeah I think I'll do that. Will keep you guys posted if anything interesting comes from this

That is a VERY test device. I had a few pre-release rezounds that did not look like that. Also I had an inc4g that was normal

Does it have engravings on it? If not then I'm pretty sure it's just a normal device

How do you become a phone tester? I've always wondered because that would be sick (I'm assuming that's how you got them).

Have you found out what it is or is it just an error?
Whats your location?
Maybe someone else in his general location might get the same message?
I wonder what it is.

False alarm.
I was happy that there was a update.
Now I am wondering why did this pop up in my notification window???
That was stupid!!!
This morning after trying to update the phone from the setting option it finally connected and said current version is already up to date.

How can I get my phone meid unlocked so that I can send it to beigephone and get it flashed to page plus. This DFB didn't pay her bill so I'm stuck with a bolt I can't do anything with but Wi-Fi use any ideas

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?

If it helps they are on metropcs

I had this problem in my incredible and this phone. It's the same two people, has to be something on their end. Or in this case, I guess your end. Annoying though.

No. It's been happening for about a year and a half. No idea what causes it. We all have Verizon.
