Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist. Since T-mobile devices are typically fully unlocked, whatever lock someone put on your phone is not factory or carrier related and you might be able to simply reload the proper factory firmware. Fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile which would be a good starting place. I suggest you post your question with all relevant details in the friendly Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/help where the experts familiar with your device will be best able to guide you. I also see a number of references to that issue from a site search at http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=rent center lock which might be worth reviewing.
Good luck!
EDIT: Member has now posted in the suggested area. Thread closed.

How to openline my phone cuz when i tell to the cell. Tech it may cost me 800php for openline cuz its equal to 500php to open line and 300 is the labor for fixing it. Can you help me for making my phone to openline to all network and by the my phone is lock in smart only
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device and this issue. I assume you are meaning Sim Unlocking? If you google "Sim unlock " there are many websites that can do this for some devices for a fee. You can look into that.
Otherwise I'm going to ask your thread be moved to the Android General Q&A section so others can help you possibly.
Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.
I am looking to buy a used Android device, many adds describe phone as Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc. but I want to try a different carrier. Some tell me that unlocking is easy and it can be done anywhere, others tell me it can only be done by the original carrier. Can I be sure I can unlock a used phone if I buy one? I learned of XDA-developers online but have not been able to find info directly related by searching this sight. Can someone please direct me? Thanks!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. There are a number of ways to SIM unlock a phone. Get a code from the carrier, buy an unlock code online, be careful with this, or use one of the methods on XDA if available for your phone. I would suggest you ask in the specific forum for the device you are considering. For the Moto X see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/Unlock and this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x
For the S5 see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5
If anyone knows if it's possible the people in those forums will knoe.
Good luck and don't forget to register on XDA to ask questions in those forums.

There is no dedicated forum for this particular device here on XDA. I have just been referring to the general Galaxy S6 section for various things. I am having a difficult time really finding anything on the web. I have found a few things, but no real area of big support or community. I love US Cellular. They are a great provider for my rural area with great phone selection (got this s6 with an otter box COMPLETELY FREE with their points system... no contract extension needed), but with that said, I understand that they are a small regional provider. So far I have been able to flash ROMs on my phone with the hopes of having them work, and they do actually... except I can't get any mobile data, voice, or SMS.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist but fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the Samsung Galaxy S6 family at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6 which you have apparently already discovered. I suggest you browse that forum and maybe post your questions in the friendly Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help where the experts familiar with your device will be best able to guide you. Since your USCC variant is still relatively uncommon, please be patient and give the members plenty of time to respond.
Good luck!
I've tried posting in 2 other threads without any success so can you point me in the right direction to get a solution...?
I have an unlocked Metropcs LGMS659 that I'm using with AT&T. Since they did an update (of some sort) I no longer have 4g, only 2g. We've tried everything from a new sim to master resetting to even having my phone removed completely from their system then added back. I usually have 4g for about 30 mins a day at random times. ANY suggestions?

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
I'm sorry to hear about your trouble. We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist there is no forum specifically for the T-Mobile/MetroPCS LG MS659 at this time but I suggest that you ask your question with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help. That's a good place to start where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you. Since your device is relatively uncommon, please be patient and give the experts plenty of time to respond. If you at least get 4G/LTE some of the time, that suggests that your phone and SIM can handle it and maybe all you need is the correct network mode ("LTE/WCDMA/GSM"?) option in your settings but I'm merely guessing.I also see a number of references to your model from a site search at http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=LG MS659 which might be worth reviewing.
Good luck!

Hello! I have a Acer liquid e320. A nice and not too expensive phone. The phones motherboard got damaged, and no service in my city would fix it, and for a long time i wasn't able to get another motherboard. After about a year i got one, ordered from taobao.com (like Ebay, only Chinese) I got it, but... found out it was locked to T-Mobile UK.
Ok, so i tried these things:
1. Tried contacting T-mobile, to get an unlock code. They refused to unlock it, because i wasn't their client.
2. I tried contacting Acer Worldwide Support, they said they can't help me and advised me to call the local support in Latvia - they will help me.
3. Called the local Acer support, they said, that this phone is not supported in our country, so they can't help.
4. Tried reaching again the worldwide Acer support and they sent me back to Latvian service support..... so i feel lika a hamster in the weel, no one helps me to solve the problem.
5. I tried using a different rom, maybe it would remove the network lock - it didn't.
6. Searched for an unlock code on the web, but nut sure it's legit and the price some websites ask for the code is higer then my phone costs... so not really happy with this solution.
In the end, i feel sad and came to conclusion that Acer support sucks! Maybe here someone can help me and advise what to do? Maybe there is a software i can use to remove the network lock? I don't want to throw out that phone in the garbage. You are my last hope!
Anyone please?
