So, I had an LG Revolution that was unlocked and the SPC Code was 000000. I was able to load Cricket PRL and set everything up. I had talk and text and web and everything was working fine. Then my Wife put in her old SD card from another Verizon phone of hers and the Revolution reverted back to Verizon settings. The SPC code is no longer 000000, the "about phone" menu stopped working and if I read phone with QPST the data settings are back to @vzw........
How do I change the SPC code or unlock the phone so I can flash it again?
Oh, and I know I shouldn't be able to read the phone with QPST if I don't know the SPC code but I can. I just can't write to it. I also can't access the LG Service menu. I get an error message for entering the wrong SPC code.
No answer?

No answer? At all?? It just happened to my Fascinate SCH-i500 too Got no clue on why this happened, and sadly... lesser clue on how to fix it, did you find out anything about what happened to your device's SPC??? Thanks a lot in advance
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the help in advance. I just want to ask if anyone experience issues unlocking galaxy s3 mini gt-i1890L from telcel Mexico. When I put a different SIM and restarted thr phone. It only tells me "Network Lock". It doesn't show any fields to enter unlock codes. I factory reset in phone and kies as well as reload official samsung firmware and no luck. I tried entering codes to initiate unlocking but phone does not respond to any codes. I can only check imei and go tk service menu. Check the picture. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You said you tried entering codes to initiate unlocking (how many codes do you have) if you enter the wrong code too many times your sim will be blocked and you wont be able to use it and will have to get a code from the sim provider to unblock it.

Hi there,
What I meant when I tried to initiate the unlocking sequence, I dialed these numbers and nothing works. The phone doesn't respond to any of it. I pressed the dial icon but it just says "Not registered to network". For some reason when I insert a different SIM Card and restart the phone. It comes up to a screen saying "Network Lock" and that's it. It doesn't even allow you to enter unlock codes. All you can press is "Dismiss" Like what I showed in the picture. I don't know how to enter the unlock codes anymore since the phone will not respond to any of these service menu codes but it does respond to *#197328640#.
Method #1 Insert a Non accepted SIM card in your phone and power on. Once finished loading your phone will ask you to enter a code, enter the Unlock Code
Note: Non Accepted Simcard is any simcard not from the original provider
OR
Method #2 Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE# (8 digit unlock code)
OR
Method #3 Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #0111*UNLOCKCODE# (8 digit unlock code)
OR
Method #4 Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press #7465625*638*# Once prompted for code, enter the 8 digit Unlock Code.
I tried these service codes as well and no luck
*#7465625# = Check the locks.
*7465625*638*Code# = Enables Network lock.
#7465625*638*Code# = Disables Network lock.
*7465625*782*Code# = Enables Subset lock.
#7465625*782*Code# = Disables Subset lock.
*7465625*77*Code# = Enables SP lock.
#7465625*77*Code# = Disables SP lock.
*7465625*27*Code# = Enables CP lock.
#7465625*27*Code# = Disables CP lock.
*7465625*746*Code# = Enables SIM lock.
#7465625*746*Code# = Disables SIM lock.
Can you start the phone with a sim from the correct network?

Yes, I tried both. I have the original Telcel SIM card and other SIM cards. The phone just doesn't respond to any of the service codes to initiate unlocking. Only message I got was "Network LOCK" and a picture of a padlock and a button that says "DISMISS"

I am not entirely sure, but it is probably the same case as my Galaxy Ace a few years ago. Unfortunately, Telcel adds an additional lock layer that is embedded in the ROM, so any effort does no good. What I did to unlock it, was download another firmware from Sammobile that was compatible from another carrier. You may choose that path, or flashing a custom ROM. Obviously, this implies you must have root permissions enabled on your mobile device.
more telcel galaxy s3 minis
I have the exact same problem with the Galaxy S3 mini from Telcel. Even at professional unlocking businesses this was a problem.
Their is just no option to enter unlock codes, neither does it respond to "Method 1-4 unlock codes"
After entering *#197328640# in the keypad the options are
[1] Debug Screen
[2] Version information
[3] common
After selecting [1] debug screen, there are 8 options
[1] BASIC INFORMATION
[2] MM INFORMATION
[3] RR INFORMATION
[4] NEIGHBOR CELL
[5] GPRS INFORMATION
[6] SIM INFORMATION
[7] HANDOVER
[8] PHONE CONTROL
Phone control has 7 options
[1] DRX CONTROL
[2] FAKE SERIAL CONTROL
[3] NAS CONTROL
[4] UE STATE CONTROL
[5] SIMULATION
[6] NETWORK LOCK
[7] NETWORK CONTROL
and network lock says Not Active.
I bought a cheap $20 phone make and receive calls but if their is away to unlock this thing that would be greatly appreciated.
I would rather avoid installing customs ROMS however i can root and unroot with VROOT. So if there is some .apk that needs to be modified or something that would be a better option. If anyone can help with this issue, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks..

I also got this info at a code unlocking site.
*Note regarding Samsung Android phones:
If your phone is locked to Telcel or Claro Mexico or Claro
Worldwide, before placing your order please try inserting
a non-accepted sim card into your phone and ensure you
receive a prompt to enter the unlock code.
If you do not, you may need to either root your phone or
change to the latest North American firmware prior to
placing an order as you will not be able to enter an
unlock code until the firmware is updated.
The phone originally came with jellybean 4.1 but was updated to 4.1.2. Dont know if that has anything to do with it
Hello, everyone. Just bought an used UK I8910N. When I try to enter service mode using *#0011# or *#197328640# only the "Service Mode" title bar appears with no other options. *#06# however displays the IMEI without any problems unlike the situations detailed by other users with blank service menu and "NULL" IMEI. Rom's stock 4.1.2 and is supposed to be SIM locked, but doesn't prompt for an unlock code when a foreign card is inserted. Even the foreign card-specific menu appears in apps, but is non-functional and there's no service of course. I was planning to try to unlock it via the *#197328640# menu, but the menu is blank. How shall I proceed from here?
Hi,
I'm trying to unlock my sprint htc one m8 with insertcoin rom.
I copied the modified apk to /system/app (but there wasn't ant htc odman speck apk already there) I gave all of the permission reboot ant went to sim unlocker app. I got to the menu press sim lock, after that i've gat a message Vdm cilent isn't responding. Do you want to close it? After that i've pressed OK, and I get this message: "Sim Unlock appears to be successful! Please reboot now."
After the reboot I'm getting the message : Invaild Card - Please contactt customer care
I've checked 2 nano-sims which are both 100% works on another sprint m8 I have.
What could be the problem?
I bought a brand new sprint moto x xt1056 from a small sprint kiosk that was going out of business. I did not activate it on sprint. I planed to sim unlock it and give it to an associate who never had a smartphone to use it for inexpensive gsm plus data on any cellular carrier it would be compatible with.
For some time, I had the phone sitting, kept it fully charged, and from time to time installed apps or whatever to verify it was working perfectly.
Before I could get around to sim unlock the phone, it received an operating system update that seems to have partly clobbered it...!
Here's what it does now.
* When you start up the phone, it gets to the point where it says, "Starting services (spinning circle icon)" and then a popup box appears that says, "Unfortunately, OMADMClient_Sprint_DataService has stopped. OK (button)"
You tap the OK button, and it repeats that popup box again, and again, infinitely!
"Unfortunately, OMADMClient_Sprint_DataService has stopped. OK (button)"!
Other clues:
* The cellular signal strength icon shows empty (zero bars) which is impossible ... around here, it should be 3-4 bars out of 5.
* The icon for bad SIM is up top on the status bar. When you swipe down there's one notification, SIM error. When you tap it for more info, it shows the standard SIM card error screen... "Your phone needs a sim card to work properly. You may not have inserted your sim card yet, it may be inserted incorrectly, or it may be faulty. ...."
But the sim card is in there, and has been in there and giving no problem since day 1 when I bought the phone.
* I can get to the Home screen if I quickly hit OK to the "service has stopped" popup.
* Once at the home screen, I can get into Settings.
* I notice WiFi is off and cannot turn on! When I hit the icon to turn it on, it waits infinitely on the screen, saying "Turning WiFi on"..!!?
* Inside the Settings About Phone page:
Baseband version: Unknown (!)
Settings About Phone Status page:
Network: Unknown
Signal strength: 0 dBm, 99 asu
Mobile network type: Unknown
Service state: Voice Out of service Data out of service
Mobile network state Disconnected

Any suggestions, mates ??

I still have some serious troubles with this moto x sprint xt1056..
I got the MEID and IMEI numbers to come back, as well as mobile signal stregth and wifi, but it's still crashing about 100 times with the same popup message, "Unfortunately, OMADMClient_Sprint_DataService has stopped. OK (button)".
Also, unable to retrieve the SPC code from the phone using the SPCutility.apk.
Here's what I tried:
1. I unlocked the boot loader with the unlock code from the official motorola site.
2. I installed TWRP
3. I followed the guide by @samwathegreat to try to SIM Unlock the sprint moto x xt1056.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-success-sim-unlock-sprint-xt1056-t2825155
Unfortunately when I run the apk it says some error about how it cannot connect to the internet, so it cannot read the spc code, so, no unlock of sim by that route!
4. Flashed the nv-items text files, and they didn't quite work... phone is still throwing the infinite popup about the "OMADMClient_Sprint_DataService" ... it should not be crashing and trying infinitely to get to sprint, while there is no valid sim card installed, just an invalid sim....
5. When i try to flash downgrade to 4.4.2 I get errors.
I followed this guide from @ezeuba :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/rooted-sprint-moto-x-sbf-t2834891
I hear it's necessary to go down to 4.4.2 or lower, because they say that 4.4.4 made the nv-items read-only, which makes it impossible write the nv-item to sim unlock the phone.
Errors while trying to flash gpt.bin:
"downgraded security version"
"update gpt_main version failed"
"preflash validation failed for GPT"
Some of the files flash on to the phone without error, but when you start it normally, you still get the endless infinite crashing popup... even though, you can go into select the type of mobile network you want, CDMA/4G or GSM/UMTS... but that infinite popup makes it unusable, and WiFi is grayed out and impossible to turn on, so it's useless in this state...
Big question... How do you get this xt1056 phone working normally, no endless crash popups, and gsm sim unlocked, according to the guides it should be very possible. Probably missing something simple...
Any suggestions? Let me know if you need any more information.

it looks like your problem is different from normal sprint xt1056. i did one sprint long ago and it didn't show any of shared symptoms.
anyway, there are two options what i think can be done to get rid of.
1. root your phone with twrp and install some system app remover or es file explorer.
then using that root explorer/app remover, remove OMADMClient_Sprint_DataService. i dont know it is safe to remove this app but many times it is. because i have removed bloatware from ATT or verizon phones a lot of times with out any issue.
2. get some twrp flashable rom of XT1053 model and flash it via recovery. it will get rid of cdma stuff and give you pure gsm interface.

I'd gotten stuck, unable to extract the SPC code in Sprint's Android 5.1.1, using the steps provided, so I set aside this Sprint Moto X XT1056 for a time. Now I've come back to it!
I read on these forums, the reason for the SPC code being not possible to extract, is because, the phone performed an over-the-air firmware update to Android 5.1.1 and in Sprint's Android 5.1.1 it now blocks access to the SPC code by somehow locking that data block.
Furthermore, I've been unable to downgrade Sprint's Android 5.1.1 to Sprint Android 5.1. Not entirely sure about that? The flash fails and you're stuck on Android 5.1.1, it seems?!
Therefore, after you've upgraded to 5.1.1, you're stuck on 5.1.1, and you can no longer get back to Android 5.1 to extract the SPC code with the trick?
I hope this is not true.
I want to get the SPC code and then run any GSM sim on this Moto X 2013, it's a great phone.
1. Have you ever flashed this Moto X 2013 XT1056 to (formerly Cyanogen Mod ) Lineage 14.1 for its Android 7.1 Nougat OS ??
2. Does Lineage OS 14.1 allow access to the block containing SPC code??
3. On Lineage OS, is the SPC required to unlock the SIM and use any GSM sim??
