I Have a samsung SM-G930AZ and i received the unlock code from cricket, I put my new sim card in and entered the code to no avail. The rom is stock QA1. From what I have seen I need my MCK code, but neither samsung nor cricket will give it to me. Cricket says they cannot give that out and samsung says they will only give it to me if cricket wont and to call back. Every time i call back no matter how many times ive told them I have called they still say call Cricket, but then say to call back if cricket wont help..... I am beyond mad at this point.
so quick update on this, samsung is sending me a new phone, according to the guys in the executive team, this has been an ongoing problem with S7's from certain carriers, just incase anyone else is having the same problem. Oh and ^bump^ in case someone else has input about this

I bought a droid x and sent it to a company to be flashed to work with the verizon straight talk service. Apparently everything was working fine before he shipped it back to me. I just got it two days ago and I can't make/receive calls or text messages. I can get on the web.
I called him up and he said straight talk is having issues. I called straight talk and tried to get it working. They told me a bunch of codes to put into the phone. I pretended to do so. They told me to restart the phone and call *228 to program. I did so but to no avail. Finally they told me that I am out of my area and they don't provide roaming service. Did something change with that? I read on there website you can use it anywhere in the states...
I sent them a email with my info and they said they would have there network analyst review my issues.
Has anybody else had the same issues?
What can I do to get this work? I have been out of a phone for over a month now. I can really use some help. Please...
Hi,
I have a verizon lg Spectrum vs920 that I would like to use on android $55.00 cricket plan. I just recently got it flashed by a professional via remote flash. Everything seems fine on the phone. Checked the settings a million time. I am not a complete noob at flashing as I have done a lot of phones before. But my experience stops at Motorola Razr days. I haven't been in touch with the flashing market since than. I tried to do the phone myself but realized how far those phones has come.
Anyway, I tried to do a esn change but the phone itself has only IMEI number and cricket has to have MEID number. I tried to do a conversion using a ESN converter but initially I didn't get any result. So, I did the conversion with out the last number of the IMEI (read it somewhere, don't remember right now). I gave the Cricket rep the conversion result, they put it in to the system but the phone didn't work. So, I called back and talk to their tech support. According to them, phone won't work because it has a Sim card in it.
My questions to you guys is,
Has anyone actually ever used this phone with cricket service?
Can it be used with the Sim card in it?
As this phone won't dial *228 and you can not access the service menu, how do you activate this phone?
What exactly should I give the cricket rep when I call the next time.
I noticed the flash didn't set any sid,Nid number, could that be the problem?
I hate to spend another 15.00 and not get the phone going. Please let me know as much as you can about the activation process while I do a little more checking on the settings to see the problem could have been with the phone and not the activation process.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I rooted my phone earlier today for the first time and later installed cyanogen mod and once it was running on my phone, I was unable to connect to the Verizon network.
I flashed the phone back to stock and I still have no service. It says it is Roaming and that I am outside the US.
Messages fail to send, and when I dial a number it wants to send me to a Verizon Representative
If anyone could help I would be so thankful!

Check this thread out, I think its what you are looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35895617
What you don't know could fill a book.
the guide you sent me worked!
Long story short, my VM Victory was soft-bricked and came back to life after (mostly accidentally) flashing a Sprint rom on to it. It has worked splendidly for a month and a half.
The VM phone thinks it is on the Sprint network. All my data and phone usage is tracked minute-for-minute on my VM account, so I know that the phone just thinks it's on Sprint, but the phone is clearly on VM.
The only issue I have with this (since it works in all other matters) is that I can't get MMS. My BF, also on VM, wasn't getting MMS either, so I figured it was a VM problem.
He was able to get his MMS fixed by realigning MSID/MDN by using the ##VIRGIN# command in the phone dialer.
When I try ##VIRGIN# it says the command is invalid, and I'm guessing it's because my phone thinks it's Sprint, and Sprint doesn't know that command.
So my question is, what part of the flash makes it think it's Sprint, and is there anything I can do, or should I just get used to Sprint and no MMS?
Note: I have been unsuccessful flashing the one and only VM Victory Rom on the phone, so that doesn't seem to be an option.
I am having a similar problem. I tried to update my Virgin Mobile Galaxy S2 from ICS to Jelly Bean via Kies, and now my device thinks it is a Sprint phone. Can't receive MMS and my receiving/sending of texts and calls is spotty. I chatted with someone from Samsung and they were unable to help me, said to take the phone in to Best Buy and have a Samsung representative look at it. I'll be doing that today.
Have you made any progress with it?
Well, I went in to Best Buy and talked with the Samsung rep and he attempted to fix my phone to no avail. He did make it so that it would run correctly so I could receive texts and calls. But it seems the software is permanent. I went ahead and signed up for Sprint's free student plan and got the S4 Mini since I needed a new phone anyway and am going to attempt to sell my Galaxy 2. But yeah. Best of luck to you.
Ok so I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G SM-N986W off line and it was working great for about the first month then whenever I tried to send a text or make a call it would say no network found. So after I did some research I found out the phone had been blacklisted and now I can't get a hold of the person that sole it to me but I'm determined to get this phone working again. Now I'm new to all this tech stuff but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Then after talking to some of my other tech friend I was told that I can get it unblack listed and so I was able to get an unlock code. Now the phone was originally with Rogers so I put in a sim card that's for Bell and restarted the phone which it should have popped up asking for the 'Sim Network Unlock Pin' and it didn't so then I tried entering in #7465625*638*# and then I tried #7465625*638*my unlock code# to which they both were successful but once I tried the phone again it still didn't work and now I'm completely lost on what to do from here so if anyone has any suggestions or any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
Thx in advance
