I have noticed a quite a few people wanting to get this phone and configure it for T-Mobile. I for one love the phone it has its quirks but whens it one the T-Mobile LTE its really fast. I have 2 now and sitting right next to each other the AT&T 1 bar, T-Mobile 4-5 Bars in my house. Also I have the E980 model unlocked Via ATT In less than 5 MIN's each time I have need to get it unlocked.
T-Mobile user here. Works great on T-Mobile LTE and I'm in a refarmed area too. It's as usable as any T-Mobile branded phone would be. Love the phone, bummed about the development scene and lack of accessories.

Anybody? I've tried calling at&t and I was told by two different agents that my unlock code wasn't available at the moment. Not because the IMEI number is blacklisted but they think LG hasn't released the code for it just yet.
I really need to get this phone unlocked and don't have the time to wait for at&t or LG to release it.

That's not true. Most of us who have responded are on the ogp as I am right now unlocked and on t MOBILE. I have had w unlocked within the last 2 week's. If you bought the phone with service they will unlock it. 18003310500 customer service only. When they ask for your mobile number it's the more options after the prompt. Then just keep hitting 0 for customer service. Any other department will tell you different things.

Okay, I obtained my unlock code from Cellunlocker.com and they were able to generate a code in less than 5 mins. They sent me 5 different codes though, kinda weird.
Anyways, do I really need to insert a different SIM card to access the unlock menu?

when you are network locked you need to put the sim in of the other network you want to access. the network unlock will pop up and input the code.

Unlocked my phone yesterday n got T-Mobile service. Been messing wit the APN settings all day n trying it out all over northern LA county. I hardly get LTE wit the OG Pro in my area. Only Edge.
Called up customer service n the tech said the towers around here haven't been "modernized" for unlocked phones, but the towers are being worked on. No time frame given on when this "modernizing work" will finish. Just that, work is current til next year.
I throw the SIM card into my HTC G2 and H+ is all over the place! I'm using it as my hotspot for now til I get the U-verse activated tomorrow evening. Man, I wanted to ditch AT&T!!

I was wondering if there was a way to unlock the Galaxy SII for free. I know that you can use like adb to unlock the MyTouch 4G Slide. Can something one do something like that with this phone?
btw, I tried the "Galaxy S Unlock" app from the Play Store, and it didn't work.
Do what I did. Call tmobile and tell them that you are leaving the country for a while and want to use a different carrier to avoid roaming charges. Bam. I had my unlock code within 24 hours.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
yeahhh. I know about that, but I don't like how you are supposed to wait 3 months in between unlocking. and i might actually leave the country in less than three months. and the other phone is neither unlocked nor rooted.
Nope, only way is to call T-Mobile for a code....or a third party vendor

Hey guys,
I got scammed on craigslist and the guy won't respond. So I bought a T-mobile Galaxy S3 and it worked fine for over a week until 2 days ago when it stopped connecting or registering to the T-mobile network. I found out from T-mobile it was blacklisted as stolen/lost that day. I called to confirm the phone wasn't stolen or lost when I bought it. The T-mobile store says there is nothing they can do except offer me a new phone from the store to pay full price.
Can I unlock a phone marked as stolen/lost using an unlock code and use it on AT&T?
I tried searching the forum and I found a thread about a guy who already had the phone unlocked so he was able to use it on AT&T but in my case, the phone is not unlocked yet but is blocked from T-mobile networks.
Thanks in advance,
Buzz
Well if you unlock it before the whole illegal thing starts you can use it on AT&T.

1111+ Thats correct I have tried every rom out there from att and it worked on my tmobile s3. Now for the op. looks for the thread on general there is one that shows you how to unlock your phone without a code. It was meant to be for the note2 but it worked on all us s3's I have mine unlock that way put in my friends att sim and it worked fine only thing that the speed its a little slower not 2G though. And thats because att's 4g its 20ish not 42.
Any ways. If you were called tmobile and talk to a superviser they can change the IMEI number on their system and the phone would come back to work in 48 hours.
I know because It have happened to me too. It doesnt matter if you have your tmobile sim on it for at least a day tmobile computers will register that phone onto your network.
P.S the only thing that will changed from a ATT rom is that build.prop It will show that its an att rom but you can edit it to d2tmo with root explorer
Just don't flash other modems from other carriers that will Brick you.

i have a note 3 from atyt and is blacklisted i want to use it with tmobile but i wanna be sure if it will work some one have tried ?
I had purchased a used TMobileGalaxy S3 T999 that was unlocked (dont know what form was used to unlock it)
I had been using a net10 ATT compatible sim for a few months now on it, but today I decided to go ahead and activate at tmobile for their 4g speeds and better signal in my area... To my disappointment my phone shows no service with this sim card... The service rep tried the sim with 2 of their other galaxy devices and It worked fine... but not mine...and its a tmobile branded galaxy s3 t999.
So I took it home... figured maybe if I flash an updated modem/radio it will work... but no, flashed UVDMD5 modem/radio with no luck...
my old sim still works... my gfs sim works... and their from completely different carriers... so my phone is clearly unlocked for other carriers, but just not tmobile... its original carrier :'(
And I already activated for the 1 month $60 unlimited plan with 2.5gb 4G so its seems I'm out of money.. and left with no carrier and no phone to use currently... :'(
You guys have any idea how I can fix this?
Currently I'm on cyanogenmod 10.1 jb 4.2.2 (Im also going to try flashing stock fw to see if anything happens)
Looks like TMobile blocked the IMEI because someone reported the phone to be lost and claimed insurance benefits.

Who did u buy it from? Not necessarily tmo blocked Imei. Rep could of looked that up. Someone could of however changed the Imei. Damaging the security partition and they're not matching on tmobiles network.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Its more likely to be blacklisted if you ask me. I'd call Tmobile and ask. By the end of tge year, all us carriers are supposed to begin sharing blacklists. So if it is, it'll be rendered useless anywhere in the us in the near future.
I'm told att and T-Mobile already are sharing these lists. If that's so, and yours is blacklisted, then it'll probably get blocked by att soon too.
Oh, and anytime you're having problens like this, odin stock firmware. Get rid of the rom as a variable.
Call and find out for sure. ...

Yea flashed stock and got bars but couldnt register to network...called they confirmed my phone was reported lost -_-
So now my imei is blacklisted... and talking about changing it is a big nono everywhere from what ive seen
I bet its simple to change but I prefer having a specific set of instructions when messing with that stuff :S
Think about it please, if everywhere you look, everyone tells you not to do it, there is probably a very good reason.
It is illegal. And personally, I would not be comfortable putting someone in that position.
Unlock and sell it overseas is pretty much your only option. Sorry man...

As I understand it, by the end of the year all US carriers will be pretty much using the same blacklist, so it won't just be AT&T and T-Mobile.
And it's people like that "friend" that measures like this are necessary. Is he gonna turn scammer next and try to sell it on craigslist?....basically stealing a whole bunch of money from someone who can't afford to buy a new phone?
The only somewhat honest option is to unlock it and sell it overseas via eBay.

No! It is illegal! I understand that your friend was willing to commit fraud/theft by deception (or whatever you want to call it), so this being illegal probably doesn't matter either. But on pretty much every forum on the internet, including XDA, even just discussing this is against policy.
Please! Consider this! You are asking in a public forum for someone you don't even know to assist you in breaking the law! I truly hope you understand what I am telling you and take it to heart. Personally, I think it is just plain wrong to put someone in that kind of position by even just asking. Id recommend you drop the whole thing tbh.

gf reported her phone lost because it was cracked, samsung sent her a new one so now i want her old one. I put in my sim card but it says "Not register to network" im thinking maybe t-mobile blocked the phone somehow since it was reported lost but I figured there was a work around. Friend told me unlocking the phone and setting it to international radios may help but i have no idea how to do this since im new to the android community. Switching from iphone to android! So yeah, please help!

Yup, T-Mobile blocked it.. There's no legal way around it, maybe your gf calling T-Mobile to unblock it, but they'll probably charge her full price for the one they sent her.. You could try using a different carrier, but it could end up being blocked again.. You could also sell it to someone in another country, blacklist won't go past the US

international radios, gonna unlock the sim. My gfs mom is probably going out of the country so if i unlocked it, she could use it outside the US right?and if she can i take it as she'd have to use a carrier other than t-mobile to do this though?
You can't use international radios.. And I don't know, but I would think so, using a local carrier should be fine

There are services that will fix this for you. I payed 35$ for my blocked tmobile s4 to be repaired.
I did this with an HTC EVO 3D. It was locked for 2 years so I flashed the phone to a different carrier and it worked. You might have problems with different features but it is posibble to still use the phone. Find a cellular store that will flash it. They normally charge around 50 dollars, give or take.

This is not a CDMA phone, you can't flash it like that.. And like I said, you can unlock it and it may work with another carrier but it can end up being blocked again, I've seen it happen

This happens to me sometimes and what I do is go under mobile networks and
Go to network operators and I let it load and then it registers on the correct network.

gf reported her phone lost because it was cracked, samsung sent her a new one so now i want her old one. I put in my sim card but it says "Not register to network" im thinking maybe t-mobile blocked the phone somehow since it was reported lost but I figured there was a work around. Friend told me unlocking the phone and setting it to international radios may help but i have no idea how to do this since im new to the android community. Switching from iphone to android! So yeah, please help!
White T-mobile Galaxy S4 on jellybean, updating it to kitkat though.

Sounds to me like you are asking us to help you and your girlfriend commit fraud. No thanks.
Hello,
I just got my note 4 via Amazon today. I was trying to be smart and save some money by trying to use Straight talk service (At&t) on a verizon Note 4 because it was a $100 cheaper. Considering the fact that verizon devices are unlocked for GSM use I thought why not try my luck.
So off i went to experiment with a great deal of doubt if this might work. Popped my Sim in, peeled the protector off and first thing i did was to create and save my APN. It took me less then a minute to realize the harsh fact that LTE was not going to work. Searched the web, called Customer care (like they would actually be of any help) and found nothing. Nada, zero, khallas. The dreaded 'H' is all i get and its annoying the crap out of me.
And here I am now debating whether i should spend a $100 more to go get the att note 4 or send this back and get the nexus 6. Almost out.
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE.
Thanks!!
LTE only works with T-Mobile using Verizon phones in most cases.
Uhh if you did your research before hand you'd know that the Verizon version only supports LTE Band 13/4 while AT&T uses different bands for LTE. It's literally listed on the product's page on Verizon's website.
I'll not hesitate to admit the fact that I'm an idiot.

Guys. LTE just popped up on the phone this morning. Straighttalk Att LTE does work on the Verizon Note 4. I can confirm that! This has just made my day. The gamble did pay off.
I appreciate the feedback from you guys.

Sure, there you go. It keeps bouncing back and forth to H+ sometimes.

Att lte ? I just saw your said att lte in your post. That's awesome ! Where did you buy your developer edition ? I check Verizon website and didn't see it there
---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------
Do they come unlocked to use on all carrier or still need to be regional unlocked ?
Yeah, I've the Att Micro SIM in this device. It's not the developer version, just the normal Version infact. Verizon devices are unlocked right out the box so you don't have to go for the region unlock. Cheers!

Did you buy the phone or did you find it? Just curious if "bad" esn phones will work outside of verizon network.
I hope more people can confirm it working on att because I've always been told Verizon uses different bands than att
Att LTE from what I know should work on band4.

Straight Talk is AT&T and Verizon, it uses both, and I know from experience moving Verizon lte phones to Straight talk, every straight talk phone ends in -A or -V depending on which network is used.
So wat all we have to do is put a straight talk sim in a verizon phone and it will work cause I am confused here straight talk told me I can not use a verizon note 3 or 4

First it has to be compatible, you can go to their website and check the imei. If compatible, you need to go through the process, which in my experience, costs about 8 for a code you need. They also sell kits in the store. Not all phones are tested to work, but many do anyway.
Bit of a cell noob when it comes to this stuff since I've been on a contract for years but I'm tired of paying 90 something odd dollars for just myself so I want to switch to Straight Talk. So if I want a Verizon Note 4 (Verizon is the best service in this area and I need it especially where I'm at) I just buy an unlocked Verizon Note 4 and then get a Straight Talk kit from Wal-Mart to use with it and it's that simple or is there more to it?
Yes. It will work just fine. I've had the same combination for 2 weeks now and works great. One step you will have to do is to create an APN setting on the phone to have working Internet. Just search for Straighttalk ATT APN settings through google. Pretty simple!

All you need is a ATT Straightalk SIM and that will do the trick. Use APN settings on their website to get working data. Verizon Smartphones in the last year (especially IPhone 5 and above) are compatible with GSM (Straighttalk/Cricket/T-Mobile)
