Edit: this method works for everyone it seems. SOME HAVE REPORTED SLOWER T-MOBILE DATA SPEEDS AFTER APLLYING THIS UNLOCK. This has only been reported a few times and it seems like flukes. I however, nor the OP in the linked thread are responsible for wjat YOU chose to do to your device. You have been warned.

What was the default value of "Perso SHA256 "....I changed mine to off but forgot to check the original value...original value should be in Perso SHA256 Flag info

Seemed to work with verizon sim. No longer get the input sim unlock number, but obviously no signal.

It got a signal. But could not pick up carrier or anything just had signal and said searching in notification bar.
But verizon is CDMA so it did not supprise me.

I see that the LTE radio bands are in there, no surprise there. But I also see WCDMA radio bands too. Does that mean that our Galaxy Note 2 have WCDMA radio too? Or is this just an firmware that Samsung uses across all Galaxy Note 2 devices?

I need to try this I have a at&t sim card.

I think we have CDMA also....not that it does much for us as verizon and sprint require the imei to be loaded into their systems.
WCDMA != CDMA by the way. WCDMA is 3G/4G GSM (aka UMTS)
CDMA is a competitor to GSM. It is used by mainly North American and Japanese/Chinese cell phone companies.
I know Verizon and Sprint in the US and AU in Japan use CDMA. Most of the world uses GSM.

All though thinking about it while we may have the CDMA radio, assuming it is the same chip as the GSM and LTE radio then they may have just not sokdered the connections. Seen that before with FM radios built into the bluetooth chip on the Atrix 4G

Which of the bands are our 4G?
Love learning.

Our 4G is UMTS band 4 (1700/2100) same as our 3G. We dont have LTE yet so no *true* 4G

Thank you.

No problems. This kinda stuff is my hobby. Maybe some day I can get a job at a cell phone company as a technician or something.

I can confirm this works, but I could not get data. I got signal and a carrier name with both an AT&T sim and a Straight Talk (AT&T) sim. It would not load APNs, and I don't have the APN for regular AT&T so I tried with the Straight Talk, put in their APN and still got no data. Neither sim is active currently. It did allow me to call 611 on both sims.

If neither sim is active then I dont think it will allow data. Not sure though.

[Q] Flash T-Mobile Rom on AT&T M8??

I have an AT&T M8 which I unlocked, rooted and s-off'd while under AT&T contract. I then decided to switch to T-Mobile and give this device to my 11-year old son. What I'd like to know/understand is whether I can flash some of the T-Mobile Roms I see in this forum on the AT&T M8 and it work with T-Mobile network? Or do I still need to flash the AT&T Roms?
Thanks in advance for any help advice!

SIM unlocked would allow you to use it on stock AT&T too if you choose to. Also everything seems to be interchangeable unless noted. I would go for Rom with T-Mobile's Wi-Fi calling, which is amazing btw for those who get sorry service.

You should be able to flash either T-mobile or AT&T (Even roms in the international section, I would recommend InsertCoin) roms without any issues. Eleven and has a M8? Damn, i'm jealous lol.

Thanks for the information to the both ^^^^^^^^ of you! I appreciate it. Yes , he is 11 years old, but a good respectful kid and does well in school. With that I'm okay with giving him nice things. If that should change, then Daddy gets the M8 back!!! LOL

Somewhat related question... If I u were to use an AT&T model on T-Mobile, would everything work correctly, 3g/4g? Comparing the frequency bands online, the AT&T model is missing the 1700 band that the T-Mobile version has. Does that mean the phone doesn't have the hardware components to connect to it? Or is it capable of connecting, just that AT&T doesn't use that band? I'm asking because I want to pickup a used m8, but the T-Mobile version is going for around $100 more than all the other carrier's versions... Could I just SIM unlock an AT&T version and be set, or will some things not work?

That's a good question and hoping someone will have the answer. In the meantime I was able to SIM unlock my son's ATT M8 and install a TMobile SIM using stock ATT rom. So far everything has worked and the 4G symbol does appear in the task bar, although I'm not sure if that really means he's getting 4G. I did have to manually enter the APN settings so he could get mobile data when not connected to wifi.

Tmobile apn settings
Would you mind posting the apn settings that allowed your sons phone to work on 4g and send mms? Its the main reason I'm looking into flashing a Rom and would save me a lot of trouble as I have spent quite a bit of time searching for one that works on my phone and none seem to do the trick.

[Q] Moving S4 from Verizon to iwireless/t-mobile

Hi,
I am thinking about moving my Galaxy S4 and moto RAZR from Verizon wireless to iwireless (a t-mobile affiliate). I understand that I need to unlock my phone but I am unable to find out if I move it to iwireless if I will still have 4G data. The iwireless sales rep said that I will still have voice and 2.5G service but couldn't tell me if I would still have 4G.
I was looking at this table I found on a site explaining how to unlock the phone but I don't know enough about the subject to make an informed decision.
Samsung Galaxy S4
Can someone confirm whether or not my Verizon S4 or RAZR can be unlocked to work with the iwireless/t-mobile 4G network?

It seems as though your grasp of the subject is strong enough to know that it might work as you'd like - and it might not. You need to call back and ask to speak to a CSR that actually knows what bands their service works on so they can give you accurate information. That's kind of their job...
Also -
Verizon LTE operates on Band 13 while T-Mob operates on Band 17, both of which carry completely different spectrums; this means no LTE on either of your unlocked phones.There's a slim possibility that you will get intermittent 3G but the most likely scenario is that you will get talk, text and 2G / 2.5G only.

Band 17? My Verizon branded S4 is getting T-Mobile LTE. I'm fairly sure its on band 4.

T-mobile is band 4 which is 1700/2100 mhz. The Verizon s4 is not capable of 1700mhz. But if you are getting 4G it may be because your area is using 2100 mhz. I am specifically moving to iwireless and I was told they use the 1700 mhz band.

Yes, I think all Verizon LTE capable phones are unlocked.
The I545 (Verizon S4) can receive LTE on band 4. T-Mobile serves LTE on band 4. The coincidence works well.

My RAZR MAXX HD definitely wasn't SIM unlocked... For the life of me I couldn't get it to work when I moved to ATT from Verizon... Not even GSM would work.

I just need to get some clarification from you guys. Are your VZW phones bought in the US and being in the US on t-mobile's or iwireless's 4g network. Because after I made the first post I went to the phone unlocking place in my local mall and talked to there techs, they said that the VZW S4 will not get 4g. I have also been doing extensive searches online and keep finding half saying it will work and half saying it won't. I have a feeling that the ones that work are working outside of the US as I found posts saying as such.
I read some where that the razr you had to flash the radio FW to get GSM to work properly.

I got my vzw S4 off craigslist but 99% sure it was purchased in the USA. I'm on T-Mobile's $50/mo plan.
Verizon's LTE phones are sim unlocked due to an agreement with the FCC when vzw purchased some bandwidth.
I think there was an update around 03/2014 that enabled band 4 on the I545. Then had to make some apn changes and tell the modem to use gsm/lte on band 4.
The one quirk I have is it will say "no service" after a reboot and until I make or receive a voice call. Then I get the "T-Mobile" instead of "no service" and things work as they should.

I was just at iwireless today and tested my phone with their network and was unable to get it to work. iwireless is a t-mobile affiliate but they do not use 4G LTE in my area. Their system runs on a 3.8G 1700MHz which the VZW S4 does not have. I am told that they will be starting to switch all the 2G radios in the area to 4G LTE later this year, which should work with my VZW S4. So I am just going to have to wait till the end of the year and go back and test it again.

That phone was before VZW bought the band 4 spectrum and cut the deal with the FCC. All VZW LTE phones are SIM unlocked. Any AWS capable VZW phone is SIM unlocked and can use LTE on band 4. The S4 got it with an update last year.
I am probably going to do the $30 plan soon and plan to use my VZW S4. I am not going to port my number right away in case the service in my area sucks (doubtful, live in DFW in dense surburbia).

I went out off town this weekend and went to a t-mobile store and was able to get 4g service after adding the correct APN. But it is too bad that iwireless that is in my area does not use that band yet, they are staring to upgrade to that band later this year. Until then my s4 will only get edge service.

With the announcement of the T Mobile $100 2 line unlimited everything, I'm also interested in bringing my Verizon S4 MDK boot loader phone to T Mobile, but want to do my research first-- is it as simple as signing up for T Mobile and getting one of their SIMs and then-- would I be able to flash any of the ROMs in the S4 T Mobile Dev forum or is the T Mobile S4 a completely different device? Any caveats? Would I have to LokiDoki after the flash? Would I need to flash a T Mobile specific radio too (currently on i545vrufnk1)? Or is that all just overcomplicating things? Would i be able to just adjust the APNs on my current ROM after inserting a T Mobile SIM?

WiFi calling on non-branded M8

I'm considering switching from ATT, but my understanding is that wifi calling is only available with TMO branded phones. Mine is the factory unlocked model (BS_US001/0P6B12000). I'm SuperCID, so was wondering if I could emulate a TMO phone by flashing their RUU. Would I have to change my MID (if that is even possible)?

A Cdma varient never can be full potential of the gsm varient. i use to have the sprint varient and i unlocked it to tmobile, yes it worked, but it wouldnt stay connected to tmobile, i would constantly have to manually search for tmobile network, so if i never looked at my phone it would just disconnect by itself, i received calls fine but text messages would come once i connected to tmobile again.
plus the hardware is just not capable of all the gsm bands, so to get full potential, sell it and get a gsm one

Sprint G5 Unlocked by Sprint (Domestic & Abroad) will not work with AT&T sim?

Any idea why the G5 I have that was unlocked by Sprint OTA will not work with my AT&T SIM? The phone shows the "Bad SIM" icon and refuses to work. I checked the ##DATA# settings, and LTE + LTE roaming are on? Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm no expert, but I believe the Sprint network and phone antennas are 180 degrees different from AT&T.
- Sprint uses CDMA; AT&T uses GSM/UMTS/HSPA+
- Sprint 3G uses bands 10 and 1; AT&T uses bands 2 and 5
- Sprint 4G uses bands 25, 26, and 41; AT&T uses 2, 4, 12, and 17.
Unlocked or not, a Sprint phone antenna is not designed to connect to the same networks as an AT&T phone.
I know there many more knowledgeable than I here, so I welcome corrections.

Change band priority
4 and 2 are from AT&T
Put 1 and 2
And Select GSM on network preference
Open Dial 5689#*992#

Any ideas? This is puzzling as Sprint swears the device has been unlocked OTA? There are others on this forum using the same device on Cricket, and thus I believe it should work on AT&T? I am at a loss? Thanks.

Yours may have only gotten internationally unlocked. Sprint has 2 unlocks. They sneakily volunteer information and assume you mean international unlock only. You have to specify domestic unlock to get it to work in the US if you unlock through Sprint's OTA. It does have the bands to support GSM in the US. Even the G4 does. I unlocked one and have it running on T-Mobile. Talk and text only since it didn't give me the APN menu then, but that's ok, it stays near wifi. If you can't get back in touch with Sprint, there are other ways to get it done without them. You'd have to PM me for that part.
Just Reread The Title. It sounds Like they didnt really domestically unlock it.

There is a free guide to try in dev section

Piggy backing this thread. I've had my LG G5 domestically unlocked by Sprint. I've put in both a ATT and T-mboile sim and added the correct APNs. Calls work so it is definitely unlocked but I can't for the life of me get data to turn on. Not even 3g. Any ideas? Sprint service is deactivated so that shouldn't interfere with the LTE and data. Bands 2,3 ,4, 5, 7 and 12 are enabled according to ##DATA# LTE is enabled. LTE roaming is enabled as well in there.
In network mode I have Automatic, LTE/CDMA, CDMA and GSM/UTMS only. Currently set to automatic. I also tried gsm/utms but nothing.
In LTE discovery I noticed it found LTE band 12 for a second but just connected to UTMS with no data. Everything shows as not roaming (maybe that is the issue?! since these non sprint lte bands are considered roaming bands or something). Reception is good in the area. I usually hit 20mbps+ down in this location with the same sim using band 4.
Help please!

I have a Sprint LG G5 (LS992) and before the ZVC update, I was able to get LTE coverage in my house all the time... Now, after the update disabling my hiddenmenu app trick, I was forced to pay for remote sim unlock for the phone, and everything went great, I have full functionality, and pretty good speeds, using AT&T service now, but I don't get LTE anymore when i'm home... I haven't tried it anywhere else, that is my next move... Just wondering if there was something I missed... I set up the AT&T APN correctly from the ATT website apn settings, have gone through all the hidden menu settings, RAT Selection gsm/wcdma/lte auto, I dunno what I'm missing, other than it just wont work on LTE anymore.
