Do you have your APNs set up correctly?
Yeah i got the APN settings correct. Cross checked the Vodafone twice.
May help to reflash the radio. You didn't make any changes at all in the gsm radio testing menu or build.prop after rooting? Did you flash a new kernel to root, or just use a tool?

[q] how too debrand name of samsung galaxy pocket gt-s5300

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5300 and i need to be able to debrand name(Mobistar) from my samsung galaxy S5300.
I have installed already firmware with Odin and everything worked perfectly but i get always to read in KIES at firmware: S5300XXLF5/S5300OXXLF5/S5300XXLF5/S5300XXLF5 (MST) and MST stand for brand name of the provider and i can't get rid of it with installation of new firmware.
So i really need help to tell me HOW I CAN DEBRAND NAME FROM MY SAMSUNG GALAXY S5300(POCKET)?
Please can anyobody help me with this problem? And simply installing new firmware doesn't help!!! Already tried it MANY times.
So it is branded somewhere in the phone with name of the provider and i want to get rid of it.
So now it doesn't work with the way i already did MANY times.
So it is branded somewhere where i can't remove it now with installing new firmware(NON BRANDED ALWAYS) only.
I guess it is branded in the phone memory. Because i can't erase(format) system storage. Even after a hard reset there is still kept 0.89GB system storage. So what i got to do to format or erase that systemstorage?

Stumbled Upon TMO and Metro Unlocks Free

This is my first post... All I know about phones I've learned from this great website. I hope this is a chance to give back.
I've been playing with flashing either of these carrier firmwares on a few different Samsung phones. One being a production model the Galaxy On5. I do not know if this is an exploit or not... but this is what I did and the results of both.
SM-G550T - Galaxy On5 T-Mobile
T-Mobile Sim
I flashed SuperStarz Rom (Don't know how to link it)
His rom however is a Metro based rom..
I hit the device unlock app just for fun and to my shock it actually unlocked it. I've confirmed this with an AT&T sim card thus far. This model and account does not meet the criteria at all for the device unlock app stock to this phone.
Well I was curious..
SM-530T1 Galaxy Grand Prime
T-Mobile Sim
Tried stock unlock app... No success...
Flashed stock tmo firmware and tried again... it worked. Confirmed with a Wal-Mart family plan sim... and AT&T.
Please if anyone has the capability to try this and confirm it, let us know what happened.
Thank you!!
*I realize now this may be the wrong place to post this*
*UPDATE 4/3/17 - I performed a complete wipe and unroot on the On5... tried the unlock app for kicks... and it failed.
Because it was already unlocked!!!!*
Just did the same with the Grand Prime with the same result... seems as tho it might be legit. If someone else can confirm this I'll write a quick tut up for everyone. I also learned from my buddy that tried this after I explained what I was doing... he took the S4 Att and flashed tmo on it... and unlocked it. Flashed OG firm and remained unlocked. Or so he says... I will confirm later.
what unlocked it? the metropcs device unlock app?
Yes. And the Tmobile Unlock App on the other device.
Just tested with Galaxy Grand Express with success. Please... Anyone else confirm this??
Failing never felt so good!!! (On5)
So....
It seems to work well with later production models... Samsung Tmo Metro Att... and minutes ago with my Tmo sim, an older LG Boost phone.
Pls Anyone with any type of multi firmware capable phone, able to flash tmo or metro firms with the unlock app.. try this and let me know the results. I will be posting a full tut with screens in the AM.
I'm pretty sure I'm dying from H1N1 or Sars.... when I'm well enough to think I'll post tut.
metro galaxy grand prime unlock?
I have a MetroPCS Galaxy Grand Prime I'm trying to figure out how to unlock. I rooted it, flashed it with a paired down stock BUT I think that paired down stock got rid of the 'device unlock' app that was on my old Samsung Galaxy Core Prime because when I used that app on THAT phone it worked perfectly but I don't know how to unlock this phone or even if it IS locked (have no clue how to find out if it is). I ordered a global FreedomPop sim card to stick into this phone and give to my little girl (I want it for the tracking capabilities only for the most part, the rest I'm locking up).
This is the closest thread I can find about this subject. Any help would be deeply appreciated. I'm not a super genius for phones or programming but I can figure out how to get into the build and tinker if given the right instructions. I don't even know the mechanics of how phones are locked, though, so maybe that won't work. Again, not a super genius. Thanks, y'all.
Hi, i tried this today with a Galaxy on5 Tmobile (G550T) and didn't work. Had latest firmware installed, then installed twrp, backed up stock rom and installed Superstarz rom. MetroPCS device unlock app keeps saying 'Unlock Failed'.
Just reporting so others don't try in vain.
Yep, it's an oldie and moldie!?
