I have a sprint galaxy s5. I don't use sprint anymore because they suck. They won't domestically unlock it for me even tho I own the phone. My question is can I swap the motherboard with a European (G900F) without any issues? Thank you in advance.

I currently own a Samsung Galaxy S1 from Bell and I consider buying a refurbished Nexus S from Kooko as per the offering in the link below.

Now, I searched the forum but I'm still not convinced all Nexus S phones are carrier unlocked and since I want to use it with my Bell SIM card, it has to be... or else I need to know how to unlock it.
So, can anyone confirm that canadian Nexus S are carrier unlock ?
Thanks in advanced
All GSM Nexus S phones are unlocked. It is likely that you just need to change the APN settings from Koodo to Bell.
That's what I wanted to hear!
Hello everyone, im looking forward to buy a Galaxy s4 sprint phone, with a bad ESN. After hours of research i wasnt able to find an answer to my question. I can carrier unlock this phone with software, thats not a problem it doesnt need a unlock code. But a phone with a bad esn will work with a GSM carrier? Its a Samsung Galaxy S4 SPH-L720T
It has a sim card slot, already had one in my hands and unlocked it, but it had a good ESN and worked perfectly on Costa Rica with a sim card. But, will a bad esn one work too?
Thanks for your answers

By bad ESN number you mean that it has been blacklisted? This usually means that the device has been lost or worse stolen and most carriers will block access from any blacklisted devices. The blacklisting has worked remarkably well in curtailing the trafficking of stolen devices, and changing the ESNs to by pass this blacklisting is against the law in most places and should not even be discussed on xda...:good:
I recently bought a sprint Samsung galaxy S3I that is CDMA unlocked, so I can take it to a different carrier if I wanted. My question is: Is there a way to re-lock the phone back to sprint so I can keep my insurance on my phone? Thank you in advance.
Hey guys, questions about my Sprint GS6. I know where i can go to get my phone network unlocked. While my phone isnt physically Sprint branded, the software is. How would i go about flashing say a global S6 firmware to get rid of all the Sprint stuff?
How unlock used Samsung Galaxy Book 2 (Verizon) so I can use T-Mobile SIM??
My friend bought a used Galaxy Book 2, put in his t-Mobile Sim and message came up that stated something to the effect that his device needs a Verizon Sim. Even with this message (as someone said it still worked) it did not get a signal.
He cannot return this as he bought it from some 3rd party he will never see again.
He has T-Mobile as a carrier for quite a few phones and has some sort of lifetime extra device -T-Mobile sim plan he can use so he does not want to move just this device to Verizon.
The question is can this be unlocked by Verizon store? And even if it is and APN settings are changed would it work with a T-Mobile Sim?
I know nothing about these LTE laptops and not sure at least for Samsung if the radio in it is somewhat universal or compatible with most US carriers.
Thank you for any advice.
I appreciate it.
Sincerely
Peter
