[Q] how to unlock the Samsung Galaxy S 2 Epic 4G touch from Sprint

Hi! this is my first time posting on this forum.
I want to unlock my SGS2 Epic 4G Touch from Sprint but I can't seem to be able to do it.
I was able to root it and have Superuser access, I downloaded Chainfire's app from the Android Market and ran it, but it says the system couldn't find the unlock code.... don't really know how to move forward from there...
Also, this is the Gingerbread EL29... and doesn't have an IMEI but rather a MEID which makes it harder for me to find an app to unlock it...
Any help please?????

My friend "unlocked" please expound further on what you are trying to do. We dont have to unlock our phones. Now are you trying to get your MSL code?
Edit: Also everything you need to know about this phone is either in the wiki or a sticky on the development page.

I have it locked for Sprint use only, but I wanna be able to use another carrier... I'm not sure abotu what I need... I already rooted the phone, I know I need a code to be able to unlock it... but I'm unable to get it. for some reason

You want to use on some Mexican carrier ?

"Unlocking" is only for GSM phones with a "SIM". Since you have almost certainly opened the backplate of the device, did you see a SIM slot?
No?
Oh, yeah, that's because the Epic Touch is a CDMA device.
You cannot "unlock" the GSM telephony, if there is not one to begin with.
You should be looking for APN settings for your carrier and a way to input them.
And, do some research, because it doesn't seem that you are at a required level of knowledge, of the system you are messing with, to even be attempting it.

Is this carrier CDMA network or GSM network?

CDMA carrier

type of radios in the phone. One cannot be used on another.
Maybe tell us who the provider is you're hoping to switch to and someone else can maybe look it up.
If your provider is GSM and you bought a CDMA phone, you're seriously out of luck.

CDMA my friend quite simply it wont work. there is no sim card and nothing to unlock. trade it for the AT&T SGII or Tmobile branded SGII

There is no such thing as an unlock code for a CDMA device, unfortunately for you.
In the US, if you find a CDMA carrier that is willing to activate a CDMA phone that wasn't originally designed for their network, you would have to give them the phone's ESN number (found behind your battery). They would add it to their network, which would allow them to activate your phone on their network. They may also require your IMEI, which is the same thing as the MEID. You can get this from the same sticker, or dial *#06# on your keypad.
You will have to contact the carrier you intend to use the phone on and see if this is possible. I know somebody who did this when their work sent them to China for two years.

My Galaxy SPH-D710 was purchased in Michigan through Boost. I just moved to Maine where there is no boost, and U.S. Cellular unkindly rules. This project is on my level but I ran into an issue I hope to fix tonight after 5 days of code manipulation. Ok, so here's the story.
Obviously my phone will not connect to a carrier, and no service tower to make things harrier XD. So amongst the edits and flashing, I lost my MSL. Come to find out, here is why: U.S. Cellular accepted my device on their network. It was simple, just said it was an sch-r760, they put in my ESN/MEID Dex and viola, accepted. Ok, here's the kicker (not as nice of a kicker as is in my trunk if you catch my drift)... APNs are locked as you well know. The question is, where the crap did my MSL go? Boost was going to give it to me but since I've been out of service for months and I flashed with no tower near, ALLLLLL DATA ASSOCIATES WITH MY ACCT is just gone. Phone records, MSL, even device specs.
My question... when I get to a tower, I will have to activate back on Boost to get their system to issue me an MSL to then be able to add U.S. Cellular APN settings after receiving my unlock code... OR since its also ATT, and Boost and U.S. Cellular both use ATT towers to roam around here... Will I receive my U.S. Cel access? I have already Paid my U.S. Cell activation and monthly charges. I couldn't have paid if my phone wasnt accepted. Even US Cellular said this. I'm betting I get on Boost network, then have to diag MSL add APN since I cannot edit and stick without MSL. Oi... What I do know, is I will prevail, I never fail! When I do, I will write an impenetrable Tutorial and circulate it to U.S. Cellulars demise

i don't think its possible to unlock cdma,other than flashing to page plus,but the reason why gsm is so easy to unlock is because you insert a different network card into ur 3G sim card slot,and u type in your network code when it asks,,,,,cdma(phones that don't take sim cards) are flashed to that carrier firmware wised which means you would go through alot just to reflash to another carrier.try flash to pageplus,that will cost money,but dirt cheap as low as $7

i would like to know as well, having a nice phone on verizon prepaid for unlimited talk and data for $50 would be the cool. i would switch from my 0g 4g metropcs $25 mo. unlimited 1x in a flash. get it,flash
i wondered about this a while back when i first seen verizon had unlimited prepaid, i called everyone to get the details and low and behold verizon prepaid xustomers service said you can only use the ones they allow you too use and they are non android phones. lol figures they want the prepaid people from otjer carriers to switch and at the aame time not lose any of their own android paying cuatomers. paying like $125 or more/mo.

Hey if anybody knows please tell me how to get the HA and AAA passwords from the Pantech Caper without the newest CDMA Workshop PM Me

Sorry guys i just edited it i meant without the newest cdma workshop PAID. I only have the cdma workshop 2.7.0 cracked

Best place to ask those questions is in Howard's forums thats the place to be at.
Sent from my mark of the Beast

What he said there is a guide in the page plus fourmunder handset technical page 14 will get you 3g if follow that guide

Thanx you guys that will help with the data but all i need to know is can i u QXDM to get the HA and AAA shared Passwords from the Pantech Caper

Ran into an issue with the Caper. I would appreciate 64-bit drivers for windows 7 on the caper i already tried the Verizon access manger way. Or do i need to downgrade to 32-bit?

I wouldn't think the caper is a 3g phone, I flashed mine using a LG revere and got the keys by using a fascinate.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium

Lol even that way I'm stuck at 1x so I gave up and used the fascinate with the 50$ plan its so much easier but if u pm me on how u are getting it working I would greatly appreciate it

Do any NVItems need to copied from the Caper for it to work. Does anybody have the full guide?

Get rid of Sprint

Hi guys, need some help.
If I switch carrier then phone automatically get bad Sprint ESN, right? If so, thats ok, because I dont want to use Sprint.
I've got Sprint L710 but I never used CDMA before, so little bit confused with how to get rid of that Sprint and make it work with Boost even w/o 4g.. perhaps 2g or 3g if possible. Or Virgin, doesn't really matter, the most important is prepaid plan w/o contract.
I'll make a root and even if then I install custom ROM then still will be using Sprint? Or after flashing custom ROM I can go to Boost and ask them to flash their codes?
Nobody else will help me, I hope for your understanding.

As far as I know. You won't get bad esn as long as you don't have any pending balances pending.
And if you pay the early termination fee.
But I'm not sure. As far as the s3 on another net work then it would have to be flashed with whatever company your gonna use it with.
But your probably better off just selling it on craugslist or eBay and buying an unlocked international version.

When I switched from ATT contract to TMobile prepaid I just unlocked phone, pulled out ATT sim card and go forward with TMobile. I didnt make any notifications to ATT, TMobile just transferred my number in few secs.
I mean how could I make same on CDMA? Could by example Cricket take my phone to their network? Is it possible to delete all related to Sprint from my phone, make it clean as from factory? And then come to Cricket or another CDMA carrier? In that case if I terminate Sprint contract without any notification I think ESN would be bad.

Well if your gonna flash the phone to another carrier like cricket. Then bad esn or clean esn don't matter. Just go into a cricket store and tell them you need to flash your phone and they'll put other on their network.

And am I be able to get at least their Cricket's 3G?
Or for that I need to go through special procedure with donors?

What? lol
they should have a cricket store where they flash phones. Idk how the procedure is done, or how it affects the phones. But there might be something screwy with MMS, but you can always ask before you do it. and there might be a fix for that sort of stuff here at XDA

Cricket said that they flash only their phones and I cant keep my existing.
BTW finally we've switched it to Verizon prepaid

weird, down here where I'm at, they flash any phone really.
well if your S3 is just a brick there you can always sell it.
If the price is low enough i can buy it from you, or also ebay

They said that in New York area they flash only Cricket phones.
But even good, cause because of I that I got Verizon.

[Q] Unlocked TMobile Samsung Note II no data on ATT Wireless

Hello All,
I am having an issue where I am unable to get any data on my Unlocked TMobile Samsung Note II. I am currently using a ATT One X+ and get full bars of LTE service in my area, while I understand I will not be able to get LTE service on the device, I cannot get any data. The default APN on the phone was Cingular 410, I've also attempted to create a new APN mirroring the exact settings on my HTC One X+. I've reflashed the stock OS and bootloader and issue persists.
I've done some searching and found one similar issue, I am currently using a NANO LTE slim from my ATT iPhone 5 with a nano to micro converter. The post I found said the user had some issue doing this as well and went to ATT for a LTE Micro SIM and his issue was solved. I'm not sure how this would make a difference since the Nano to Micro works just fine in my ATT One X+.
I was under the impression from what I read online I would just need to pop in my ATT LTE sim into the Unlocked TMobile Note II and be on my way with any data lower than LTE. I have also verified I am successfully able to make calls with the ATT sim inserted into the Unlocked TMobile Note II
Any insight would be beneficial? Thanks!

Did you change the apn?

Turns out I thing I got scammed, thanks craigslist. I think the modem is blown out on this phone, My phone will not even register a SIM is inserted in it anymore, even when using a TMobile SIM.
Is there anything I can do, go to TMobile or reach out to Samsung for support?

Would you mind sharing what happened and what's wrong with the modem? When you bought the phone, didn't you put your sim in and test it?

Note 2 pageplus go back to sprint

I have a note 2 (sprint bad esn) that I cannot get flashed to page plus.
I have had this phone on Verizon prepaid until it crapped out.
I then put it on boot mobile but could not get it to work
I then am now trying to get it on Page plus.
I have tried Wireless Workshop, manually doing it with CDMA and DFS, and have taken it to 2 different companies in my town to have it flahed. They cannot findout anything that is wrong with the phone and still cannot get it to properly flahsed.
So my options are Is there a way to get this thing flashed back to sprint. (stock data, mms, and voice) settings and re flash it to page plus or can i just take it back to a sprint store and they can do it for me?
thanks!
Chris

What's exactly wrong with it ? I've got mine flashed to Verizon prepaid but its basically the same as pageplus far as flashing
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Thanks for the reply.
The company that flashed it was remotewirelesstech.com
They flashed it then about 2 months later it crapped out on me. I lost data then i lost voice/text a couple of weeks later.
I contacted them and they said that they will not reflash bc alot of ppl have hadthis happen to them in the past.
So I tried to flash to Boost. Got everything to work, then I got no data or voice.
I then tried to use wireless workshop to go to Pageplus but nothing would work.
Someone told me that Pageplus will not allow rooted phones, so I unrooted and went back to a stock rom 4.1.2.
I reflashed with wireless workshop and now when I try to call it askes to add money to the account.
But nothing works. I still have 2 dollars on my PP account.
I then took it to 2 different flashing companies around my area and they could not figure it out. (II think they both done just automated one click methods) but Ive even tried to get it to work with CDMA workshop and DFS to no avail.
If someone is up to it, I can donate paypal to get this thing flashed remotly. Im so desperate.
I paid almost 500 for this phone last march and now If I sell it, It will only get 300 out of it. But I love my Note II, and was thinkgin about buying the verizon model if I sell this one.
Any suggestions??

i can help
i can do a remote flash.... those 1 click methods dont work to well....i use dfs
pm me and we can set up something
