The unlocking and radio flashing do different things. You have to either get an unlock code from Verizon or from a site like www.unlock4moto.com to be able to use a 3rd party SIM card. The radio flash is only necessary to use the phone on AT&T or T-Mobile in the US, but still requires the phone to be unlocked via one of the methods mentioned above.

Just get an unlock code from unlock4moto.com and don't worry about it. But Verizon does do unlock codes if you call tech support and have been in good standing and not had an unlock in the last 10 months.

thanks!

I just bought my friends Verizon Droid 3 XT862 because his contract was up and he switched carriers. It still has the verizon sim card in it. I'm planning on just using it with wifi and not as a phone at all. I want to unlock, root and install a custom ROM. I'm looking at getting the IMEI unlock code mentioned above. What should I do with that sim card? I read something about needing a foreign sim card?

Get any AT&T/T-Mobile SIM and it should unlock as well. It may say it failed if you haven't flashed the 883 build.prop and radio but it will work. If you have a buddy on any GSM service just borrow their SIM.

Thanks MrObvious. So once I unlock it with another SIM, I can just remove that SIM and the "phone" will always work as a "device" just fine without any SIM installed if I don't need cell service/3G?
Do I still need to get the unlock code from a service like cellunlocker.net if I'm using aAT&T or T-Mobile SIM?

3G ISSUE

The you still have to set the proper apns and set it in gsm mode. The the droid 3 does not support LTE at all.

I have an old "Voicestream Wireless" SIM card from back before they changed their name to T-Mobile. I'll try putting that in there and using a code from cellunlocker.net. I should flash 883 build.prop and radio before I enter the code from cellunlocker?

I would unlock with the 862 radio.

It should work fine. One thing you can do is do a Safestrap backup of everything and SBF but I think a Verizon based ROM should do fine.

Unlock Sprint LG Marquee?

I have a friend that needs a new phone and he has a straight talk. I have an old LG Marquee for Sprint and I want to unlock it so he can use it on his carrier. Any ideas how to do that? Its rooted and I have never unlocked a phone but I went to the LG Unlocker website and they require you to pay to unlock it and I am not going to pay for something like that.

Did you call Sprint? It's YOUR phone, PAID for, and you've met the terms of your contract.
The worst thing you can do is not ask...

The carrier will probably have to unlock it.

But will they actually do that for me?

Have you tried your contract sim in it?
If you have and it doesn't work then you'll have to contact the original carrier for a sim unlock code

I'd try another SIM first, if it's not already you can buy unlock codes off eBay for about £3

I've already tried, I placed an orange sim, which worked fine, then after I tried a three sim car, which unfortunately asked for a network code.
Can you link me to a code on ebay.
Thanks.

Cheers mate, I've ordered it, received and unlocked it within an hour.

Is the Sprint carrier unlocked?

Let me know

No

You will have to call Sprint International Services and tell them you are traveling overseas and if you meet certain requirements they will unlock it. If not you will just have to wait for somebody to find a fix if you want it unlocked.

To the 2 ppl that replied (and anyone out there) did you tried popping an att/tmobile Sim and see if it works? the m7 came unlocked no?
I need to know like right now cuz about to order one thanks! !!

The M7 did not come unlocked. It was the same thing with that phone. You had to call to unlock it, internationally. It was them sim unlocked for all but you had to be rooted.

The sim unlock app on the play store stopped working after the m7 was updated to 4.4.2. This phone uses the same version of android so I very much doubt it would work.

Yes they all will but you may not get the specific TMO software tweaks.

Yes you can do it. Can't unlock it yet though. We need an ENG kernel or a root to be able to unlock.

What are you talking about? Either the Sprint Note 7 with an unlocked sim slot works or it doesn't. If it has the radios and it sees the simcard for TMO. Then it should work. No need to wait for much.

Unless Sprint unlocks your phone, you're not gonna be able to use it on T-Mobile until a root method drops. Once rooted we can unlock them. I've unlocked over 100 S7 edges from Sprint. Its what I do for a living.

OK. So that's what you do. *shrug* But I doubt it.
The OP asked if an unlocked Note 7 would work on TMO. It will if the sim card is unlocked.
It's a code to unlock it not a kernel. The kernel would be to unlock the bootloader ... a sim unlock and a bootloader unlock are different beasts.

It's not the sim card that has to be unlocked. It's the phone. Sprint don't take codes anymore. Sprint has to approve the unlock now. Just like T-Mobile and the device unlock app. The custom engineering kernel will grant root access to write the correct byte in for the unlock.

Well, the sprint N7 has root now. Do you think you can unlock it? The one I bought is NOT unlocked.

More than likely. I'm on vacation though. Europe

If it's fully paid for then Sprint has to unlock it if you ask. Then you will be able to use it on any carrier.

If its fully paid for they will be able to tell in their system and will unlock it. Doesn't matter who bought it first. The main thing is if it's fully paid for.
