k phone unbricked before but got it back
Basically trying to figure out how to downgrade the sprint Galaxy S4 ( L720 ) but it has the NG2 baseband. Trying to get it to work with tmobile & the employee there said I had to downgrade below 4.4.2 so I get it to work domestic. As of right now unlocking it with the MSL at 4.4.2 or higher just unlocks it internationally.
I have no idea where to start considering i thought i bricked it before.

Ok guys, im not sure if this is the right thread, but I have a sprint gs4 (SPH-L720) and I need to know some things about it before I root it and flash a different Rom. The last phone I rooted was an HTC evo 4g, so you can see that its been awhile since Ive done this lol. I am currently experimenting with using my gs4 as a wifi-only phone. I have NO phone service right now on my gs4. I want to know if my phone is a 9500 or 9505 and I want a ROM that has a boatload of new features, like call recording, wifi call/texting support, no bloatware, but I also do not want to lose any of the native features that stock 4.4 has. Can some kind person out there help me with my model number (i9500 or i9505?) so I wont brick my phone and give me a list of some awesome ROMs to choose from? sorry if this is the wrong thread, this is my first time on this forum. Thanks for the help guys.

Hmm ... there was a tutorial here: [Tutorial] Rooting the Sprint GalaxyS3 the Easy Way, but as it is locked and removed now, it may be no longer valid.
I found a thread about a similar topic here: [Q] How to Root or Read MSL / SPC on Galaxy S3 SCH S960L Tracfone.
Best is to ask your question in the Sprint Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Are you a NOOB? Ask any NOOB questions here.
BTW, general rooting information about the Sprint S3 can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-sprint#root.
Good luck !
Thread closed and thank you.

had a someone flash a galaxy s4 u.s. cellular bad esn to pageplus yesterday. first time having a phone flashed & first time meeting this person. he also unlocked an htc droid dna verizon for me. i just bought cdma ws & used him because he also let me watch to try to learn the software. i have 2 queations: 1) he used an app called "unlock samsung online" to unlock the htc. wondered why he didnt use cdma ws. it can be done with ws right? 2) also, he said to unlock a phone using cdma ws it needed to be rooted 1st. is that right?

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
From what I can tell, it has been a cat and mouse game for a few years now. An XDA member releases an unlock method, Verizon blocks the exploit and bricks the previously unlocked devices.
I cannot really tell where things have left off now, even with this thread which summarizes the exploits and is the hub for unlocking questions:
> Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II > Verizon Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Questions about Unlocking or Recovering from a Soft Brick? LOOK HERE BEFORE POSTING!!
...at any rate, my suggestion is to scan that thread (read the first post and some of the latest to get a feel of the situation), and then if needed (if you question remains unanswered), register for an XDA account and ask there.
Sorry that the response isn't cut and dried, but I hope it helps, and I wish you good luck.
