[Q] Sprint MotoX Bad Esn-What to do with it?

Hello, I am looking for some advice please.
I purchased a Motox Sprint from someone who claimed it had a clean ESN, but when I tried unlocking it through Motorolas website it denied it.
Is there a way to remedy this to where it can be used on no contract prepaid (iePagePlus), or should I just sell it and let it be someone else headache?
Do the unlock codes you purchase online really work, and if so are there any associated to this forum or recommended?
I really like the phones build and got it at what seemed like a good deal at the time,but it dont feel so good now.

A bad esn has nothing to do with unlocking the bootloader. If it has a bad esn, it was stolen. Do NOT sell it and make someone else suffer. You made the wrong decision... don't make it someone else's problem.
Online unlocking sites do work, but it isn't going to help you. All the US carriers have a shared backlist database.

Also in future you can go. Online, call or go in store and make sure ESN is clean. Try and stick to swapa as well.

Thanks I intend to do that. The phone still has service under his account ,so I'm thinking he either walked on the account or will report it as lost or stolen collect a new phone and now he has money.
I've debated calling Sprint , as he basically stole the phone from them and sold it to me which is theft by deception from what I've read in some other forums.
I just don't think they will do anything about it though.

Tmobile Note 4 on AT&T

Hey guys, I have a buddy who works for rent a center, he hooked me up with a tmobile note 4 and assured me it would work on AT&T. I've tried everything, it connects just fine, for about 3 minutes and then disconnects? But it is reading my sim. After 3 minutes though it disconnects and reconnects constantly. I'm beginning to think I need to sim unlock it.
Any ideas? Or has anyone gone through this? I'm not getting a sim unlock message either? Even after a reboot. And the phone is stock. Not rooted yet. Will root sim unlock it? With a different rom?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank u
Zound

Just search: t mobile note 4 on at&t xda

Hey guys it was a defective device. Got a note 3 from him tmobile and it works great. Therefore, the note 4 was defective. Thanks for the reply. I'll have a new one Tuesday, I'll report if I have the same issue.

Received the new phone and all is well. Still stumped as to y that phone had so many problems with the Sim card.

How is this build number even possible? I'm assuming the RAC is for rent a center. Lol. Any thoughts?

Yes RAC is the rent a center. I believe they put extra software on the phone that allows for them to kill the phone if you miss payments.

Ok well I'm doing the 90 day same as cash, this is actually a really good way to buy a phone right out, especially being how they are Tmobile branded phones. The price is the same as right out, only I have 3 months to pay it instead of that same day.
One concern, root and bootloader unlock. Probably shouldn't mess with any of that until it's paid in full. But once it is, I better not have a problem doing it. Being how it will b paid and bought for.

Just payed mines off a week ago.Rooted and install custom rom the first day.

You should be able to install official tmobile firmware without tripping knox.

You know you're paying $400 more for it from Rent A Center than at T-Mobile right?

I got one thru RAC when they first came out and Knox was already triped

I got a 3 and a 4 from RAC and they knew before handing it to me that I would root and mod the phone. They have no issues with it what so ever. It was really easy too.

[Q] Found damaged N910T - Unlock, Root for Rom and Modem for ATT? [w/Pics]

My nephew said he found the phone on the road underneath an overpass. Screen digitizer looks damaged, no battery, no battery back cover and all banged up (see pics). He gave it to me to either fix or trash. I would like to get the phone looking new, working and give it back to my nephew running on AT&T's network.
Questions:
1. All the parts I need are compatible with most Note 4's correct? Will these work here and here?
2. Being a T-Mo device, the bootloader should be unlocked correct?
3. If the device is locked (not purchased by cash) can the unlock code be unnecessary by rooting? If not, what are my options since I did not purchase this device?
4. AT&T Roms are not compatible on T-Mo devices running on AT&T network correct? So will T-Mo Rom's work on N910T running on AT&T network?
5. Can I Root, flash Rom and modem?
Greatly appreciate your input, thanks.

Tmobile phone will work fine on AT&T. No need to flash anything special just pic a ROM and set up am APN.

I just purchased the T-Mobile variant and I am going to unlock it via http://www.cellunlocker.net. When checking out at cellunlocker.net they displayed a message:
"Please be advised in order to unlock your Samsung Note 4, you MUST activate the phone with the original carrier or SIM issued within your designated location. This must occur before you attempt to unlock and activate the phone with a foreign sim card. The Note 4 has a region lock feature seperate to sim unlocking and if unlocked before activating to its original carrier or continent the phone will be region-locked and must be unlocked directly from Samsung. For more information, please refer to the warning sticker found on the packaging that your phone came in."
Do I just need to get a T-Mobile sim and activate it once? Then boot it up with my ATT sim and enter in the unlock code? Or can I disregard this message?

1) not sure... most of the main parts should be the same.. i.e screen. There may be slight variations with many parts.. such as charging ports.
2)Bootloader is unlocked to my knowledge however Im not certain.
3) Rooting and unlocking are 2 seperate things. The phone will be carrier locked. I have a tmobile Note 4 phone that I run on AT&T. I paid to unlock it on simunlocker. Ive never rooted this phone yet
4)False to my knowledge. There should be no issue at all here
5)YOU cant change the modem to a modem from a different carrier. and there is absolutely no reason to do so. YOu should be able to flash an ATT rom on it if you'd like.
Unfortunately... It is true what others have said. If the phone was not paid for in full by the OG owner( on Tmobiles plan where you pay for the phone month to month)... then it will most likely be black listed at some point. SO you might be able to activate it but 4 months down the road it could suddenly stop working.

Tmobile has an IMEI checker. Also swappa.com where you can sell/buy used phones has one. I checked mine before using cellunlocker and it worked out perfectly.

Yep, blacklisted.. Now what are my options, if any?

If it's blacklisted, nothing short of changing the IMEI # with a JTAG device can save it.
Considering it's physical condition, trash it. I would.

After $200 in parts that I received yesterday, she looks beautiful now . I much rather work on it until its fully operational instead of trashing it.
None the less, still blacklisted and unable to access engineering mode. Any pointers?
Update: Running rooted 5.0.1 with TWRP recovery and have successfully unlocked via imei-unlocker.com. Made a call to a business number, worked fine.
Leads be to believe down the road a few months service may be cut off due to blacklist? I would still like to explore other alternatives to avoid service being possible cut off...

SIM unlock

I have a brand new G6 in the box I want to give to my friend but T-Mobile says I need to put it on their network for a few months before they will unlock it. Pretty BS about it since I bought it outright and never once had a plan on it. I want to give it as new and don't want to open it. Saw some sketchy sites online and other posts here seem to be for different types of unlocks. He has ATT and just wants to use it there. Am I screwed?

Mine came with an app pre-installed that would permanently sim unlock it.

Are you on TMO? If so, swap your sim card into it. Call them (611) and tell them the imei you want to unlock then run the app.
I just did that a few days ago. Also the handset must be paid off completely first.

I am on TMO and I would just do that but they told me I had to wait 40 days. Is this not accurate? I'm afraid of opening the box only for it to not work and I can't sell it as brand new in box anymore. Or is that all bs and it will just work immediately? I bought the phone outright in April.

They specifically told me they will unlock a phone immediately upon payment of its balance.
I dunno. I think policy is 40 days. But my customer service location is really good and rated #1 in the country. Otherwise I don't know. You should be able to get it unlocked, especially since you're a customer. Id even try yo use TForce. They're pretty awesome too

I got a used LG G6 from ebay and Tmo rep said that the balance is not paid off so i can't unlock it. Should i use 3rd party to unlock it? I am seeing some places charge $100+ to unlock. It's not like the phone is stolen or anything. Should I just return the phone?

I would return it. It is rather unscrupulous of the buyer to sell you a phone that has not been paid off.

And eventually, if it is not paid off it will be black listed and locked out of TMO network based on IMEI
Sent from my LG-H872 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

The 40 days is policy that the phone needs to be actually activated and working for the 40 day counter to start. They do not have to be 40 consecutive days, but 40 days of being alive, working and connected. The Op said that the phone was paid off, so that shouldn't be an issue for the op. Just the 40 day counter.

No need for 60 days continuous use on T-Mobile network. Insert valid T-Mobile sim card to register the handset at least once on their network. You can then take the sim card out (use with any T-Mobile MVNO or don't use it at all - your choice). After 60 days have passed, insert valid T-Mobile sim card again and use the unlock app to permanently unlock your handset. I've done that with my handset and it got permanently unlocked.

Hi there,
I've managed to unlock a T-Mobile G6 a few days ago, using a third party service. Specifically, here: https://www.unlockscope.com/unlock-lg-g6-032413
It was pricier than I was expecting, but anyway, it worked and now it's on AT&T.

Do you know if the same SIM needs to be used after the 60 days (T-Mobile quotes 40 days), or can a different SIM be used? I ask because I purchased a T-Mobile locked phone from someone who had it activated after purchase but apparently not for long enough as I can't get it unlocked in the unlock app even though it's now been long enough. I didn't encourage the seller to put his SIM back in the phone at time of purchase and I don't have easy contact with him anymore. I do however know someone else with a T-Mobile plan but I don't want to try using a different SIM if that might screw with the day count. Might you have any insight?

I used a different T-Mobile sim from the one I initially inserted to register on their network.
It could officially be 40 days even though I waited 60 days instead. Was in no rush to unlock.

Also you have to meet certain terms and condition before you can unlock the handset. I.e. you can only unlock 2 devices per calendar year. The handset should be paid in full etc. There are some other requirements I don't recall exactly please look it up.

Thanks for the info! One last question since I have to meet up with someone to get do it. Is it something that should work right after putting the SIM in or does it have to be in the phone awhile? All other conditions have been met as far as I'm aware so if what you're saying still works, it should do the trick.

N960U / U1 Carrier Switch & CSC features not working? Help?

Ok so on my N950U I was able to flash the N950U1 firmware with the N950U (TMB) CSC.
This would give me U1 firmware with carrier icons and carrier features. It worked great.
I tried that on my new N960U. It did indeed work with the exception of one thing.
The RCS messaging (read receipts / typing etc) stopped working. Can anyone here shed some light on to this or have any idea what has changed?

Are you the original owner?
If so,did you use the T-Mobile Device Unlock app & ensure that it is indeed permanently unlocked vs a temporary unlock?
If you are not the original owner &/or the device still has an outstanding balance,this may be messing things up for you.
Repeating myself here,but,just in case you've read somewhere that changing the firmware somehow SIM Unlocks the phone,it does no such thing.
As for the hardware,there's no reason the phone shouldn't work on Sprint,less their pointless/consumer hostile practices of their brand of BYOD.
No carrier is perfect,far from it,but at least w/T-Mobile & I'm guessing AT&T,no hoop-jumping is needed,simply dropping in a SIM Card (& possible APN adjustment) is it,no further action necessary.
Whatever the person told you (from Sprint) seems to contradict what is posted on their website.
Give these two links a shot & see if you make any headway:

Your probably out of luck. Sprint activates there phone differently then any other carrier. All other carriers, pop sim in, and it just works. With sprint you pop sim in and nothing. Have to call and give info, but they won't activate it.

The correct sim card type is needed to make the Note 9 work on Sprint. SIMOLW506TQ or SIMGLW406TQ. Once you get the correct sim card type then do an Imei swap via online chat. Dont bother calling them up.
