Hello guys! I'm using the I747M variant which I bought from Rogers about 8 months ago and I want to know if I can switch to other carriers network here in Canada via unlocking because Rogers' available phone plans are just a pain in the ass so I want to switch networks. So please kindly share any information regarding unlocking and changing carrier networks. Thanks in advance

Once unlocked, It is guaranteed to work with Bell and Telus.
Hope this helps :good:
Search for it, it's around here in the forums for free. You just need a simcard from the next provider you wish to go to.

How about on other networks such as Mobilicity? My mom is on a plan on Mobilicity and I also want the same plan because my phone is kinda useless without internet and not even a caller ID.
once unlocked it'd most likely work
but for the data part, i can't really say because different mhz on different carrier network..
so 70% chance that you will only get Edge in your area
Does anyone knows any information on how to change radio frequencies on a phone? I've seen some SG3 on ebay.ca that is labelled as "Pentaband" and could work with any carrier network here in Canada. Can someone please explain to me how does this work? And is it possible for my phone to be converted into a "Pentaband" phone?
Mobilicity does not use the same bands as Rogers, Bell or Telus for its HSPA/HSPA+ service. As Pcshano said, your phone would work on Mobilicity, but only on Edge.
You encounter the same problem as T-Mobile users in the US, and WIND and Videotron in Canada. See [WIP][BOUNTY] Enable 3G on 1700MHz for ATT Galaxy S3 i747 on efforts to enable HSPA on 1700MHz on the i747.
hey I'm new to the forums and rooting and I'm trying to unlock my Sprint SPH-L710 so that I can use it on a carrier outside of the states. If this thread has already been started sorry for the redundant post, if not can someone post how to unlock a SPH-L710 4.1.2 from Sprint so that I can use it in Canada please.
The Sprint S3 is a CDMA device, and not GSM. There is nothing to unlock for use in Canada. It doesn't accept a SIM card (though there is one embedded for LTE purposes in the U.S).

ok interesting, I was told that I could use it on a network here in Canada that also uses CDMA as long as it was unlocked but maybe they thought that I had the GSM version.

Hello,
So I currently have a Sprint LG G2 that I would like to unlock to be able to use it on AT&T or Tmobile. From what I'v read, even the Verizon G2 comes factory unlocked which Verizon's been known to keep locked in almost all of there phones. I called customer service and told them i would be traveling overseas (they didnt ask what country) and after about 24 hours emailed me asking permission to unlock the device, they told me to go and update me UICC Unlock which gave me a message saying "your SIM is now unlocked" but when I put in a Tmobile sim card to test it, the phone would not recognize it no matter if i changed the settings to gsm/umts or global mode. What do you suggest I do next, I am worried I payed so much for the phone and if 1 or 2 years from now I decide to move carriers or even country that I am visiting to next week and the phone bieng "unlocked" still wont unlock it to be used on local carriers or even abroad, that would really suck. Any suggestions?

You really need to do some serious research.
Concerning Verizon, Verizon is required to have the GSM portion of their CDMA/LTE phones factory unlocked due to to a requirement by the FCC when they divested some spectrum a while back.
Now for Sprint, Sprint locks down (or locks out) the GSM portion of their LTE phones for domestic GSM use, so trying to use it with a domestic GSM carrier like AT&T, T-Mobile etc is out of the question by default. They'll unlock it for international GSM use (non U.S GSM carriers). Now there are some fine folks on XDA here that have been able to work around these restrictions on the Galaxy S4, but that's the exception so far.
If like you say, they emailed you that they've unlocked your phone, if you leave the country and insert a foreign SIM, it'll work with that international carrier.
Your right
your absolutly right. Now i need to find out how they did it in s4 because it has to be possible for this phone too then that case

Hmmm, this is interesting, I am having a similar dilema, as far as I was aware, I thought that unlocking would be done on the cosumer end, they would give you a code, then you'd input that code in, I've just never heard of them unlocking it on their own. I got the LG G2 LS980 when I was in the US for a semester and moved to Brazil just a week ago, I haven't tried to fully make it work, but from the LS980 manual, it says that there is not even a sim lock on the phone(i'd put up a picture, but I have no idea how). And when I try to put in an old local(brazilian) SIM card, it doesn't ask for a unlock code, it just says no SIM card - Emergency calls only. I'm still researching it, but if you find anything, just post it here so I can keep up Thanks.

Yeah I will definitely have to wait for a workaround for the sprint LG G2 as I am not a sprint customer. I think the S4 and the HTC both have workarounds, but as far as I'm aware, these workarounds apply mostly for international use only (which is exactly what I need) meaning that ATT/TMOB is probably not going to work, or might have to wait a couple months until there is a lot more people working on the sprint version, the thing is, the phone wasn't released that long ago, so support in the forums is still low.
Back during the photon days they were able to achieve domestic gsm use by flashing the radio from the Japanese version of the photon. Well maybe not directly. It may have been a modified Japanese radio but it worked!! My daughters mother still uses the photon 4g as an att go phone. Would something like that still be possible for our devices? I know a lot of people lost interest in it because after the photon we got the photon q which had an embedded Sim. Even then people were able to take the phone apart and solder a Sim tray in and unlock it for other domestic carriers.

But I think first of all it needs to be unlocked for GSM or GSM part of the phone should be unlocked for any other thing to try.

As long as some foreign carrier has their g2 unlocked for international gsm use then it wouldn't matter right? With the KDDI radio on the photon we weren't able to use sprint service on it after flashing. Basically as if the phone thought it was the Japanese version of the photon.

This would be awesome if it worked, I'm still hopeful someone will find a way, because I don't use sprint anymore and I have since moved to brazil. Thank god this phone is awesome enough to not be useless with only wifi, but I'm still hopeful someone will find a way for me to catch Brazil's GSM signal, as the phone does have the right GSM bands for it.
Just like the HTC one, it took months for even Sprint themselves to figure out how they would unlock the HTC, what I want to know if there is anyone that has actually called Sprint and asked for the unlock, and confirmed it to be working.
Can the sprint lg g2 be unlocked for any carrier.
Im trying to change from sprint contract to straighttalk. Is there a way to get my LG G2 unlocked so I can switch?

I unlocked my GS2 Skyrocket recently as I'm about to sell it and pick up a G2 next week. I popped in a T-Mobile SIM and verified that it worked. However, I very seriously doubt the method I used would work on the G2. Here's the thread though:
unlock free proceed at your own risk!
Domestic sims are too small

I called the Sprint international department and they explained the situation somewhat.
Domestic sim cards such as on tmobile and att have too little memory to support the cdma function of the lg g2, so you will get an "invalid sim" message. The size of the sim must be at least 128k to work on the g2. Maybe there is a way to get domestic network data on a larger sim card.
Hope this helps.

while the size thing may be true.. this is not why youre getting an invalid sim error. the invalid sim error comes from when u use ANY sim thats not Sprint. After you get Sprint to OTA SIM unlock your phone.. this invalid sim error goes away... gsm will work for intl.. and possibly domestic.. tho sprint may also have a block on domestic only.. after the intl unlock. if the phone is unlocked thru sprint and you pop a tmo sim in and get no signal(but no invalid sim error)... then that means the phone is unlocked properly but domestic is blocked.
this is usually my area of interest.. i did both the htc one and gs4 unlocks but I do not own a g2 unfortunately.

So are you saying if you did have a Sprint G2 you would be able to find a way to unlock it?
How the heck do they do this?
How can they unlock the phone for international SIMs and prevent them from working on local SIMs? Can't be some band that they check. Otherwise, it would not work on an international SIM using that band. Hardcode something in the kernel or the OS? In which would a custom ROM and/or kernel work? Can anyone point me to some links or posts that discuss this?

I'm also interested in this as I have a LS980 and I am currently in Brazil, sprint has done nothing yet as far as unlocking it.(even for actualy customers, I have not seen anyone that actually has this thing unlocked). I popped in a Claro(local provider) SIM card, and the phone says "No SIM card- Emergency calls only", I've tried multiple SIMs to see if it was a problem with the actual SIM, but all of them read the same thing, while inside the phone I get a notification saying "Restricted Access Changed - Voice Service is Blocked". So it knows there is a SIM card in there, it's just blocking it.

hi! I am form el salvador and I am really happy with this device, but I just discovered the issue that buying a sprint device implies when I want to activate de data network, it only shows GSM and it is really slow! some "experts" have told me that I need the MSL code form in order to unlock this network. I´ve tried many some methods posted here to get that code, but I failed.
can anybody help me please...
Even I am also looking for the same answers. Following this post.

Wow, are you stupid? You spent ~$500USD on a phone without even confirming you could use it properly?
Sorry if that sounds harsh, but 3 minutes on Google tells me that (at least according to posted info) only Digicel even PLANS deployment of an LTE network in El Salvador right now. So the answer is there is no '4G' network in EL Salvador- assuming Wikipedia is current.
If you're on TIGO, Claro, or Movistar there is no LTE at all according to that info Second, you chose THE WORST (least compatible) model of G3 you could possibly buy. If you want ease-of-use for non-standard markets or international travelling, you need to buy a D855 (European/International common model), D851 (T-Mobile) or maybe D850/852 (AT&T and Canada carriers respectively). Buying a Sprint or Verizon model of just about any phone ever is a recipe for disaster anywhere except their networks because their primary networks are completely different from everyone else. Sprint and Verizon started and continued using CDMA rather than GSM like everyone else, and their deployments of LTE now are different frequency bands and different signalling systems than everyone else too. Neither a G2 or G3 from Sprint will give you anything faster than 2G EDGE speeds for data.
tl;dr get rid of that phone and go find an AT&T D850 for South and Central American carriers, that way you could at least get HSPA 3G service.

It cost me 300$.. I know I screw it. The point is, last year I got an lg g2 from sprint as well, but I took it to an expert and he got the msl code so that se could have access to the 4g data.. And yes, we do have 4g in some specific areas of our country. So the point is, how do I get that code in order to unlock it

Somewhere on xda I read a thread explaining how to add all bands for most qualcomm snapdragon devices. The good news is I saw a sprint G3 user say he was able to do it. The bad news is I did not save the link and will not find it for you. I suggest you start looking by searching all forums and type unlock bands or something similar, I think it was in a gs4 or gs5 thread. If you fail the xda searching do some google searching. If you do find it I wish you luck it looked like you need to get your hands dirty.

Hey Guys, I have a concern with my recently purchased LG G4 model H812. It's originally from Rogers and I got it unlocked and have my Virgin Mobile service working on it. I have put in the right APN Settings according to the specified network and LTE hasn't even shown up at all since I've purchased the phone. Under network mode, I have chosen "GSM/HSPA/LTE" but all i see thats working constantly is 4G. I also did a manual search under 'Network operators" and chose Bell LTE instead of Bell WCDMA. Any ideas of what can be done?
