[Q] Carrier Change - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hello I am in process of changing carrier from Verizon to T-Mobile. Currently I have a Galaxy S4 and I was told by the store that I could use the phone on the T-Mobile network. I have a few questions I am hoping the community has the answers to that the store or customer support were no help on.
1.) If I put the phone on the T-Mobile network, when an update is released for the phone, will it get it? If id does get it, does it get the T-Mobile or Verizon update?
2.) Is there a way to switch the ROM on the phone (without rooting) from the Verizon to the T-Mobile rom.
3.) I am overall curious if anyone switched their Verizon phone to T-Mobile and if they experienced any issues.

1) probably wouldn't get the update and if so it would be verizons,
2) no.
3) I just switched from Verizon but now have a tmo s4. I'm saving a lot of money and it works out because where I live and work I have excellent coverage.
Update: just reread #3 sorry for the non-answer. Why not just get a tmo s4 and save the worries?

Actually, you CAN switch the ROM on the phone without rooting. Using a custom recovery doesn't require root access. But that's kinda like having your arm amputated so you couldn't get a flu shot in your shoulder...

So the phone will work using a T-Mobile ROM? If I were to do that will I now get future ROM updates from T-Mobile or will it still get the Verizon update

Using AT&T sim on blacklisted T-mobile GS III

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.

If I unlock my T-mobile phone, can I keep the T-mobile stock rom or do I need to flash it with the AT&T stock rom?
If you are on stock, why dont you just dial *#197328640# to go to phone control menu, then network lock and turn off the network lock. If you do a google search for unlock galaxy s3 xda forum u ll see it.

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.

Hey guys should I be careful buying a used tmobile phone? How can I be Shure the is good to use? Not stolen or in the blacklist or what about if I buy the phone and then the seller report it stollen. Will tmobile disconnect my phone even if it is on simple mobile? Is there a safe way to do the transaction. Lots of questions. Thanks
well, it is not safe, if the phone report stolen or blocked it by tmobile, you can't use it with simple mobile. and there is no way to know if the phone ok or not, it will works for a couple of days/weeks/months but once tmobile block it. you will be sorry. anyway I bought mine from amazon, I talked to them first about people selling phones on amazon and then the phone gets blocked. they put a note in my account that if the phone got blocked I can return it back for a full refund no matter how long. and btw mine is used.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
T-mobile phones are the worst to buy used because it can be blocked for 2 reasons, unpaid EIP and phone reported stolen. I almost got burned but luckily I was able to tracked down the previous owner. The phone worked for weeks before it was blocked. Scarry.
This is currently my experience.
I own an AT&T Galaxy Note 2 that I just got yesterday. I got it unlocked, and right there I'l put Simple Mobile on it and it worked just great with the only exception that I get only 2G on it and I'm on an area where most T-mobile users get 4G.
So got somewhat disappointing but didn't give up. From there I rooted it and I flashed a T-mobile SGH-T889 ROM on it and it ROM itself works, but with Simple Mobile I still get only 2G.
From here, I'm thinking the only thing I'm missing is the Radio (or Modem if you wanna call it that way) for a T-Mobile phone since I'm suspecting I'm still using an AT&T radio.
I haven't done enough research to see if I'm right on my theory. So as soon as I get back to the kitchen I'll flash a T-Mobile Radio and see if that works.

[Q] moving from AT&T

Will I be able to get 4g?

You still have to run a ROM from the skyrocket forum. You can use T-Mo modems or skyrocket modems
I use the T989 on At&t and get better performance with a T-Mo modem

'Uncarrier' plans, remember? There are no free phones anymore (though there are ones with no down payments, but the SGS2 doesn't qualify). Even the absolute cheapest phones must be fully paid for now as shown on their website.
To the OP, I highly recommend getting a new phone. The i777 is good, but it lacks the 1700 band, so you won't have 3G. Choose whatever phone you like, though, personally, I intend to get the HTC One myself as soon as I can.

[Q] Note 2 Big Issue - PLEASE HELP!!!

Sorry I m a Beginner in the android world, so i will do my best to explain my issue
Please help me all help needed
1) I bought a Galaxy Note 2 from a person - he said that Note 2 was BLOCKED by T-mobile - I verified with T-mobile and the IMEI is indeed theirs and it is BLOCKED - so we know this is a REAL phone, NOT a clone
2) when I bought it he said that the phone was unlocked and is being used on AT&T - I verified and saw that he was using on AT&T network before he Reset everything and gave to me.
3) i went home and put in my AT&T sim and the screen read "Sim Network Unlock Pin" with Unlock and Dismiss button below. I thought this was the sim lock, so i removed the sim lock, but it still show that on the start screen - so here I thought that the Phone Might have been Un-Unlocked due to Reset.
4) I went ahead and follow the direction on how to unlock S3/Note 2 from XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982), - btw i did this Successfully on 2 S3 before. Here is another problem: Under Lock Network screen (option 6) I cannot see option 4: [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ (Does not exist) - So I have no way of unlocking it since this option is not available.
5) I thought that he did somekind of custom rom, but no - i checked and the Binary counter is 0 - phone status is Normal.
Please help me.
All I want is to use ATT now.
Please help me I will stay all Night till this is solved.
Thanks all in advance.
BTW attached is my About screen in case anyone have question.
*** second issue that we will talk later is - i have another note 2 bought directly from t-mobile with 4.1.2 - this one does not have [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ . either. - how weird.
I check at the store and their note 2 4.1.2 HAS that option. !!! - we shall talk about this issue at another time
Can anyone please help me

No, i dont think they share blacklist. When i bought the phone it clearly showed att and use normally, then i took his sim out and reset the phone and brought it home. Test with T-mobile sim right away (i have both tmobile and ATT) - t-mobile say SEARCHING.... it is block so could not find any net work, but when i pop in at&T it said "Sim unlock pin"
Also the reason y i know t-mobile and att don't share the same black list is because i used a blocked s3 on att before
Oh, learned something new today!

hi,
i did some research and i think T-mobile and AT&T will potentially share the blacklist - but don't know it worked on my s3 before.
I just came up with an IDEA and would like to hear from Pros see if it will work.
What is if Install Samsung ROM - but the international version (usually my t-mobile i would download tar.md5 from t-mobile, same for att). What would happen to my phone if i download and install International rom - would it make my note 2 INTERNATIONAL - that mean it is NOT lock to any carrier?

Stay clear from blacklisted phones. Solves this issue
I hope that blacklisted s3 was not the phone someone stole from me.. I would never buy a Black listed phone. I do know all of them are not blacklisted because reported stolen. But if you take the ability to sell them People will STOP STEALING THEM..
Just as a quick note. In The future it might be best to not Buy blacklisted or bad imei Phones.. Some are from contracts not fulfilled .. Questionable as to rather a carrier should be able to black list or not..
But equally number of them are STOLEN. What if it were your phone.
I so was not going to write this post . But it It really much different then software piracy or buying Stolen goods...
Just my opinion.. Ohh and yes i think the carriers are evil in near every way.
Good Luck and hope you get it fixed but only if it was not a Stolen phone. if it were . Well my above comment will tell you my thoughts.
Is there a way for you to talk to that person and ask him where he got the phone from? i hope this gets resolved ASAP
Hello all
Thanks for helping.
Indeed i have downgraded to 4.1.1 and now have 4 option and was able to unlock it for AT&T
However, i have a silly question that i hope to find a RIGHT answer.
I know that we can do Custom Rom for note 2 - however, I was wondering if we can install ATT OEM Rom to T-mobile note2, or T-mobile OEM Rom to AT&T note 2?
DOnt know if i made it clear enough.
Please help.
Thanks

[Q] help with galaxy s4 not registered to 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.
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

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 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.
