If you have root access you can download an app that will display your msl key (just search "msl"). If not just call customer service *2, tell them that you need to reprogram your phone(that signal is wierd). You don't need to follow their instructions, just write down the numbers they tell you to push and say you did. The six digit number they give you will be your msl.
Pretty much the same procedure...

PagePlus is a MVNO of Verizon, that uses Verizon towers, infact, the PRL that I've uploaded to my server, and that I link to in that thread is a Verizon PRL
Has step by step instructions, but I wish you good luck in getting Verizon themselves to Activate your Non-Verizon Device

No offense but why do people want to take nice phones and gimp them on MetroPCS? The service is garbage. If you want prepaid, then get it flashed to PagePlus if anything (many times you don't even need to flash anything, it will just work after activating and programming OTA). There are a couple decent phones on Metro (LG Connect or LG Esteem, namely), it's easier (and probably cheaper) than getting a Verizon phone finally working on their network properly.

Well from previously working for MetroPCS, i can honesty say there are some area other carriers don't have any service in that metro does because they have their own towers, and if there in MetroPCS 3g coverage then i don't see how they would "gimp" there phone plus if they wanna pay 1/3 of there monthly price on Verizon i don't see why not..
An alternative people could use is unlocking there bionic and use a prepaid gsm carrier like simple mobile.

Simple Mobile is also pretty terrible (I am a Simple Mobile dealer myself). Does Metro even actually have 3G? I remember when their 4G LTE started (which from my testing is slower than Sprint's 3G coverage), they only had 1x and 4G, but no 3G.

first root and than unlock or vice verse?
Thanks ahead
Unlock as in sim unlock? Afaik doesn't matter. You can sim unlock an unrooted phone and vice versa
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
OK let's stick with the sim unlock
What are the steps and which tools is needed ?
Sim unlocking has to be done with a code. Find a cell repair store near you and ask about sim unlocking. It'll probably cost 20-30 bucks. You can also try some online stores, google xt860 sim unlock. Rooting you can do yourself. If you are on android 2.3.4 you can use Pete's one.click found in the dev section. I'm not sure if it works on the new 2.3.6, but if not search for zergrush. Or find my thread labeled "The xt860, custom roms and you" I've linked to zergrush in there. If you are new to all this may I suggest you spend some time reading various threads and make sure you read directions before attempting anything. If your unsure just ask rather than rushing in and bricking your phone.

Thanks
the only way to unlocking is using code ??
i use your advice and spend some time reading Before I jump in
Ya you need a code. I was unable to unlock mine. Tried a online service which eventually emailed me back saying they could not find a code. Full refund though. Also tried a store but they could not find a code either. Code is specific to your IMEI which is a number specific to your device. But I know others have successfully unlocked theirs. Also unlock my kill your 3g but there is a fix somewhere on here. We can find it of you need it. But for sure best thing you can do is read and educate as much as you can about your device before rooting.

I used mobileincanada.com twice and that seemed to have worked.
i know verizon will unlock your phone for free. Im not sure about other providers but if you tell your provider your going out of country on business and would like to use your own simcard while away, they will usually allow this as long as you you say your "keeping" your contract with them

Anyone got a write up on how to flash These? I was able to flash me OG DROID to cricket but I don't know how to do these 4G phones
Sent from my ICS flavored DROID4
I was under the impression that the Verizon LTE phones had their CDMA authentication modified to use the SIM card for authentication as opposed to the IMEI as in non LTE phones. They also modified their 3G network to use SIM based authentication for 3G data as opposed to IMEI. If this is true it would prevent you from accessing the 3G CDMA based data network because the phone would be passing SIM based authentication for data and the network was expecting IMEI based authentication. In theory you could flash a different radio firmware if you can find it to correct this... but currently as Verizon is the only carrier of this phone I do not believe there are any alternative radio firmwares available. Community....please correct me if i am wrong but this is my understanding.

You can use QPST to set it to NV only.
You can attempt to use QPST, however it would not accept the change. I did it using cdma workshop 2.7

Is everything the same on the Droid 4? I'll pay somebody to do it for me! I'll pay to ship the phone or whatever. I never have too great of luck with the CDMA Workshop or QPST. I DO know how to access the User activation and everything on the phone with the ##PROGRAM then press send and put in the 000000. Any help would be greatly appreciated from anybody. I just got my Droid 4 in the mail today and called Page Plus to activate only to have them tell me LTE couldnt be flashed to Page Plus. What if I called them and used the IMEI and dropped off the last number? Would that work if I just called them and gave them that? HELP! LOL!

You can't really unless u sell it to someone and they activate the phone under their account then once that is done they have to update the phone profile under settings- activate device- update profile

You should be able to do this. I was able to do it on my EVO, but obviously, this info MAY be out of date.
You will need your MSL though, and unless you're rooted, you'll need to call Sprint to get it anyways. As the mod in the linked thread points out, you might as well get their help with it since you'll have to call them anyways. My EVO was rooted so I've known my MSL all along.

Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
There is a difference with what you are talking about and what your asking. What you asked refers to hardware, the modems are not compatible. Roaming is slightly different. Most CDMA carriers do not use a Sim style card, as far as I know Verizon is the only company that does. In the U.S. there are a few gsm carriers that would work with the t679. But it will never work on a CDMA network. For more info on the difference between CDMA and gsm check Google, there are several articles explaining why its not possible. That's how I knew the answer to your question to begin with.
I am using ATT. ATT is also gsm. Verzon is cdma. You cant use a gsm phone on CDMA. Sorry:crying::crying:
