[Q] Sprint Version SIM Unlocked?

I just got off of the phone with a Sprint support rep in the International services department, and according to her the SIM slot in the Sprint version of the Moto X is unlocked from the factory.
Can anyone verify that this is true?

Bump, I'm interested very much too!

Any one confirm this?
Can Any one confirm this?
Awaiting reply...

That's the point, so Americans can use Sprint in the US, but when we travel just pop in an international sim.

I contacted Sprint support, they said before using it in other networks (gsm/umts) you must activate international service (which unlocks gsm). mine was not activated and here in Russia I'm stuck - phone sees our carriers but can't register. and sprint support can't help me as the phone isn't online on sprint or smth like that. that's such a pain in the ass 'cause I've had a Sprint Photon 4G before and it worked without any "making love"

Is your phone displaying "Invalid SIM"? I might be having the same issue

Moral of the story is to not buy a Sprint Moto X for anything other then Sprint. Do your research and buy a proper GSM version.

Thanks for your response, I feel relieved. Does this means that when i go back to the US i can activate for international use?

Based on the many posts of people asking for how to SIM Unlock the Sprint Moto X, I'd say its not true.

Interesting. This is the first i've heard of that. There were other reports/posts that if your phone has active sprint service/account, you can call sprint and get the sim unlock code. Nothing was said about needing to just add international service to the account for the phone to be unlocked.
In any case, the moral of the story seems to be what Steve-x posted... If you are NOT a Sprint Customer, don't buy a Sprint X for international use due to all the posts of troubles and what seems to be impossibilities getting them SIM Unlocked (you can't just pop a non-sprint sim in "out of the box", Sprint will only unlock if your their customer, it seems no online services have the unlock codes for sprint moto X, etc).

LG G4 work with Verizon or any other carriers?

I am wondering if my Sprint LG G4 model LGLS991 will work with Verizon or any other carriers if I unlock the phone?

Wondering the same unlocked mine already.

It will never work, Verzion will never activate a sprint phone and sprint will never activate a verzion phone. Radio's, compatiblity -- none of that matters. Phones are tied to specific carriers (CDMA only) when they are sold and there's nothing we can do to change that.

I guess that answers my question. But I have seen people saying they have used a sprint phone on verizon.

I know sprint phones won't work on Verizon just curious if lte compatibility with t mobile or cricket

If you get it unlocked (by sprint), then it'll work on any GSM carrier outside of United States. Even after its unlocked, it'll not work on Domestic GSM carriers.

Because of the frequencies? There are two types of unlocks domestic and international. Mine is unlocked on both.

Sprint will not do a domestic unlock, unless you have access to their back end system that handles unlocks. (even then I don't think its possible). Have you actually tried using an AT&T or TMobile (US Only) sims in your sprint phone? Even if you have the appropriate radio, the carrier lock will prevent it from working on any domestic network.
I know this from a very reliable source inside sprint.
The most sprint will do for you is unlock it for international use granted you are current on your bill and your account is in good standing.

If you own the phone outright they will unlock for domestic use. New law went into effect in February, also wife works for sprint. It was an annoying process but I finally found someone who knew what they were doing. Yes an at&t sim works in the phone.

What about using a sprint phone on Boost or Virgin? Or possibly using a donor phone as was done before laws changed then changed again?

WOW...

So you're telling me sprint will activate a verizon phone?
---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------
For those that are still curious go here
http://www.sprint.com/legal/unlocking_policy.html?ECID=vanity:unlock
and here's what you can take away from DSU.
"For inactive devices, customers must contact Sprint Customer Care to request that their DSU-capable device be unlocked and may have to take steps to perform an over-the-air update to ensure the unlock programming has been relayed to the device. Additional validation may be required to ensure eligibility.
Sprint makes no guaranty that an unlocked device will work on another carrier's network. Whether another carrier will accept and activate a device is subject to that carrier's policies and capabilities. Additionally, Sprint devices which the owner has attempted to reprogram or activate on another carrier's network or otherwise altered from its initial programming or settings may not be able to be reactivated on the Sprint network."
So to clarify, even if sprint unlocks your tray, it is more than likely that Verzion WILL NOT activate a sprint phone on their network.

With LTE phones, you don't have to activate anything if you have an active SIM card. Of course, it needs to be unlocked to work on different carriers. My VZW G3 works on Sprint just by popping in a Sprint SIM.

Not true

AT&T Nexus 6 isnt factory unlocked. Lol

Now I remember why I stopped coming to xda.

It's simple: It will never work on another CDMA carrier. Only a select few will work on a domestic GSM carrier; if you have a carrier version that is "unlocked", it will not work on another carrier. It could possible work on Boost or Virgin, since they use Sprint, but YMMV

Temp SIM unlock to Permanent??

Hey All,
I don't know if a Dev will find his way in here or not but I have to ask....
I got the "temporary" (30 day) unlock from TMob thru the app they force on it. My question is...Is there anyway to take the temp unlock and make it permanent.
Like I said I got it and I'm on day 2 now, so if someone wants to take a look and see if they can find something, I can try and get them any files / info they need / want.
I am not yet experienced enough to know what I'd really be looking for or I'd try myself, but with only 30 days till it expires and my limited time, I fig'd I could maybe help get the sim unlocked by donating files.
I'm also a bit curious how "sunderwear" is able to unlock for peeps using the TMo app, but then charges $45 to do it. I don't discourage anyone from making a buck but $45 is 2x as much as any unlocking code service would normally charge and seems a bit exorbitant for someone who's well established in this (XDA) community.
MoodSwinger

Its less than that to unlock on www.unlockcode247.com which uses the exact same process that sunderwear uses

@paoloroeseke: I don't see it. I only see where you can get the code here, but there's still no way to enter it on the device. I'm going to believe since you are a senior member this is not just "spam". But from what i read about "Sunderwear", i got the impression he's been able to get into the TMobile "unlock device" app and do it remotely. If I am wrong let me know, and if I am missing something from the link you posted please point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
MoodSwinger

It's no longer there . Sunderwears service DOES work though. I had used the website i provided to unlock mine. Looks like it's down to one method again
I meant no disrespect to sunderwear. Just was showing options, which are no longer available i guess. Lol

Problem is we don't know where the unlock trigger happens. It does something to unlock the firmware.

Sunderwear's unlock doesn't work anymore either. He has stated that T-Mobile caught on to the loophole and shut it down. I don't think it is coming back.

On the galaxy s6 (before switching to g4) we had to flash the metro pcs firmware before we could unlock using a code. We could install a rom after, long as the radio wasn't touched. Maybe something in there can be edited?

i think the best bet would be to decompile the unlock app and try and see how it if we can see how it works..if it mod the ril or radio in someway..

@MicroMod777 , ALL
I get that, but I guess that's why I was saying anything I can pull from my device that's "temp" unlocked to maybe see where the app adjusts the firmware or whatever to unlock compared to one that's not yet unlocked. has anyone who's an app developer looked into the app? I would think if the app got hacked / Rev Eng'd then we'd see where the change occured.

that would be really helpfull. ihave 3 devices legally bought and i cannot unlock them. T-mobile says i need to have an account which i dont have here in canada.
I wish i knew someone with tmobile account so i can use that account to unlock the phone

i wondering if the app mods the modem or just unlock the imei on their servers?

there was h815 firmware created which asks for network unlock code but that one is not working at all.
so i doubt the metropcs software will help too. What i heard is that metropcs has also device unlock app installed on it

Mpcs is still available. Only tmo closed.

i wonder if theres a way to mod the tmobile unlock app so if we select temportary that it would still premently unlock it..

I permanently unlocked my G4 using the built in app that came with phone. Was super easy. Next time cricket wireless offers the 20gb of LTE for $55 I'm going to give it a test run. Is your phone paid off? It should work if it is.
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk

Hey guys just a heads up... I did the temp unlock. used it on STalk for the 30 days, called TMob customer service 5 or 6 times trying to get them to unlock it even had 2 cust service reps take my info and my IMEI and said they will submit it for unlock & I should receive an email within 24 hours then I could unlock it. Those emails never came but I did keep trying to unlock it by hitting the permanent unlock button in the app...tho it kept coming back "Failed". Long story short I finally got an understanding supervisor on the line and he said sign up for a pay as you go make sure you use it everyday once (send a txt or make a call) then call them back and as long as they have an account to reference and the device registers on the network as being used they can override the other requirements. Be nice and ask for a supervisor and you may have to do it a few times to get one that will work with you.
Another interesting thing is...even tho my Temp time is done and if I open the "Device Unlock" app it shows buttons to Permanent and Temporary Unlock again. But I can still use it with my STalk sim. it's on'y been 3 days but I've switched out the SIM with the TMob one to do what the TMob SV said, and when I put the STalk one back in it always finds the network and has worked fine so far. SO somehow at least with the ST sim the device has remained unlocked. Also I have the AT&T STalk SIM, not the TMob one, so it's not like I'm still using the Tmob network and it just recognizes the device somehow.
Just wanted to post a follow-up with the new info. I will follow up again if this chg's. but I am still doing what the SV said so that i can get it perm unlocked. BTW the SV way is a one month prepay unlimited TXT & Calls only, no data so I'm on'y paying like $25 basically same as an unlock service. but don't just do it and expect it to work get a SV on the line and work with them cuz right now there aren't many other options.

HTC Desire 626s sprint SIMLock removal

Hello,
I need a help very badly on my new device that i purchased which is HTC desire 626s and is locked to Sprint. I thought i could buy unlock codes online and get it unlocked. But when i inserted different cellular SIM card, the device did not ask for unlock code and rather threw a message "4G LTE/GSM will not work as SIMLock is enabled. Please contact Customer Service to unlock". Can anyone please please help me here to have this SIMLock unlocked and make the device able to work with any other cellular provider, I know i can reach Sprint to get it unlocked but i just purchased it and i am sureSprint will not do it for newly purchased devices unless its used for 6 months. If anything to be done via device booting or anything please provide me a step by step procedure as i am not a tech geek. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

Hi Pavi4, i searched all the web and the only way to GSM unlock my HTC Desire 626s from Sprint was buying this service. It is supposed to cost 25 or something but i sent a message to the seller and he accepted 20
I hope it works for You too!!

It's safe bro, at least in my experience the unlock was done in one hour. The guy told me that ussualy takes 20-30 minutes but I have a 64 BITS Windows 7 computer and it has a problem with drivers so it took us more time to figure out where the problem was, maybe you can send a message to the seller and ask your questiones. Maybe something has changed since I bought the service. Everything was through ebay so i felt secure about my money

Unlocked Sprint LG G4, Can't UpdatePRL or Profile

I bought a LG G4, Sprint from EBay and was planning to register it with ChitChat Mobile. It was coming back as not compatible, so I called Sprint and they told me to have the original owner request to have the phone unlocked. I couldn't get the seller to do this. I assume he was just a re-seller but the phone is not lost or stolen. It can be registered with Sprint, just can't be used with my service provider, ChitChat Mobile. So, I paid for a service to have it unlocked. When I called ChitChat Mobile to try activating it, it came back as compatible this time. We were going through the activation process but it doesn't work to Update Profile or Update PRL.
I am getting this message:"The update could not be completed. Please try again later. If your problem persists, you may need to contact Customer Service"
I've been on the phone with the customer service for two days now(we tried factory and network re-setting) and they finally decided that something is wrong with the phone.
Can somebody help me at least shed a light on what happened here? Is this phone useless now?
I really appreciate any help!

Thank you so much for your response! Yes, the phone is unlocked for gsm. I didn't know what any of this means before I started the unlock process. I thought it meant to unlock to any carrier. How is the uicc unlock done and by who? By Sprint? It's so hard to get a live person to talk there LOL and when you do, they are not very interested in helping you to unlock their phone if you're not a customer :/

uicc is through sprint and its impossible seems like

I had the same prob with my sprint g2. Wanted it on straight talk. Had the activation kit. Did my stuff. And would never update prl. Basicly sprint wouldnt. In my opinion couldnt. Unlock it. I already had it gsm unlocked. But wouldnt work i ended up using att gsm sim for straight talk. And worked like a charm. Usally what i come to realize is if a cmda sprint phone is gsm unlocked. Never would work on sprint towers again unless the lock was reinstated. As with most lgs gsm unlock resides in carrier folder. Replacing stock folder relocks and makes sprint work again. Now i may be wrong with that assumption but just my personal expierences throught the years. Have been such. If possible i would insert a gsm sim card to veri y unlocked status and port my number to a gsm prepaid carrier. I am using cricket which bounces of att on my g4 rite now. Other than having to dl a aftermarket mms app to se d or recieve pics. Almost works better than sprints
