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
This is a Sprint phone, which I want to unlock and use it in the US on ATT. I got the unlock code. According to most posts I found on the Internet, I should put in the SIM card and power on, and then there should be a prompt asking me for the unlock code. However, I don't see that prompt when I do that. Does anybody knows the answer here? Your help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. This phone has a sim slot. It's a GSM/CDMA hybrid. I've put in ATT sim card and when I power on, nothing shows up asking me for the unlock code. I can't find it in any of the settings menus. Does anyone know how to unlock this phone?
Again, you're in the wrong forum, the Supersonic has no sim card
You'll get better answers if you ask in the Design forums

Cdma gsm hybrid phones arent designed to be used on US carriers GSM bands only international bands. The US frequency block is software locked so you would have to hack the radio for it to work
I like to break stuff!
I would like to understand this too. What is the software that I need to change if I want to use a tmobile sim on this phone? Will it be the same process if I port to cricket (CDMA).
There is no HTC design forum or I would post this question there.
Thanks!

May want to look in Android Development and Hacking forums.There are threads there for devices that don't have their own forum.

do I need to unlock phone first to unlock GSM?
Hey guys,
I've been trying for a while to unlock my Verizon Incredible 2's SIM. It's a refurbished phone, so the IMEI shown on the phone's software and on the sticker behind the battery produces an invalid unlock code when I try to buy a code online. I no longer have Verizon's service, so I can't even ask them for the correct unlock code. Is there any software out there that can find the correct code for my phone?

Thanks for your help, but I don't think that trying to generate yet another unlock code from that IMEI will help. I've tried this before and was always given the same code that was invalid.

When I inserting other carrier sim-card it says Invalid sim card (no window for entering this code) and if I insert Sprint show just no network (cause I'm not in the US now). Can you tell me where to enter unlocking code?
Thanks

The windows that asks for the unlock code is only for GSM based phones and that MSL code dosen't unlock phones. It just opens up a hidden menu that can damage your phone if you don't know what you're doing. There's a post on here that shows how to sim unlock the Note 4 for gsm use.
Edit: If you're international. Download "Galaxy Tools" by idone and it lets you unlock the phone for international use

IF you are in good standing with sprint... Call them and ask to be unlocked for international use... Then buy a card that works where you are...
There are other ways to accomplish the same but... I'm not going to get into that...
If you have a phone with sprint that is not in good standing with sprint... Then your on your own...

Sprint Note 4 Domestic SIM Unlock
Sprint Note 4. I'm now on T-Mobile with Note 8. Want Note 4 available as backup on T-Mobile. Entered the MSL OK but with T-Mobile SIM in, under APNs, "Unable to view the APN settings. Access is restricted for the current user profile."
I put the de-activated Sprint SIM back in. When I get to editing "APN type", it's grayed out for both APNs. How do I unlock for domestic SIMs; it's already unlocked for international SIMs? Thanks
I purchased Moto Z2 Force associated with Sprint Carrier from Ebay. Now I wish to unlock it from Sprint and use to other GSM mobile carriers. I tried doing it by Codes on various unlocking websites. however as soon as I enter Phone IMEI code and hit get code. It says the phone is CDMA and site does not unlock CDMA phones.
Going through the manual in box it specify that phone is both CDMA and GSM are compatible with device. Now, is there anyone who could guide me to crack SIM compatibility with Sprint and unlock it fully? Is it possible to unlock it with any other method than code input?
