unfortunately, I have a sprint galaxy tab with network lock, and I want use it in china`s network ,so I want know how to unlock it, thinks!
It's a CDMA device, so it can't be unlocked and moved with a new SIM card like GSM devices. You could possibly flash it to work on another CDMA network, but you would need the modem software that is specific to a individual network you want to put it on.
Flashing Sprint Samsung Tab
To Flash Veizon samsung Tab on any network is easier as its SPC is known.
For sprint Tab you must know the spc....either buy it or extract it from NV or just send the 16 digit password to phone in cdma workshop......Then its a piece of cake.

Do you know the NV for the SPC or how to get the 16 digit pass? Thanks for your help.
On a Sprint galaxy tab, just install terminal emulator and do this:
getprop ril.MSL
and your msl will be displayed. You can also do this on ADB, if you know how.
Sprint Samsung 16 Digits Password
Afaik all Sprint Samsung device use Samsung default 16 digits password
01F2030F5F678FF9

I did this and got a blank response. Does this mean mine is already unlocked. I always thought that by rooting the device that all locks were turned off but maybe my assumption was wrong.

The getprop command is just to get the MSL code of the device. The MSL code will allow you to flash the device to another CDMA carrier, if that is what you are looking to do. Can you be more clear what you mean by unlocking? As far as I know, only GSM devices can be unlocked to accept GSM SIM cards from other networks. CDMA devices can be flashed to other CDMA networks if you know the MSL code.

I am trying to repurpose my tablet. Don't care about phone networks or using a SIM card. Just want to have full access to the device and I am hitting walls because I cannot update my system partition or boot partition without it bricking. I think it has to do with it being a locked device because I have seen messages from adb to that affect.

Can you explain in detail what you are trying to do with the tab? Inclusion of any messages on the device would help to solve your problem with the tab.

Currently I am trying to install Boot2Qt on my device. Since I cannot De-Android the device and install Ubuntu or any linux variant, I'll am trying to circumvent any Dalvik related processing. I have to go to work now but later on I'll try and provide any messages I am seeing. I have seen the command:
fastboot oem unlock
And that never works for my device. Might be a samsung nuance.

fastboot gives me "waiting for device" message on Linux. I do recall getting a message to the effect that I couldn't do root because I have basically a commercialized device. Sorry I don't know the actual words right now.

Simple and to the point.
Enables the use of stock hotspot function.
This is only working for ATT and StraightTalk - ATT Sim. If you have another carrier you will have to do the procedure yourself below.

i have a att sim, flashed it and still does the same as before flashing. says dial 611 or go to myatt.com to activate hotspot?
Not working for ST AT&T sim, wireless or tethered. 1.08 odexed.
I can't speak to JMZ's flash, but I can guarantee the manual method works (& worked for him, also). Give it a try.

that didnt work for me, stock rom but linaro v3 kernel.
Well. It seems I have hotspot enabled on my plan but not getting charged for it. That's why this mod works for me but jot anyone else.
So the Att version is broken

Don't know. Typing this now on my A500 using First hotspot with Straight Talk/ATT SIM.
Flashed the zip and it didn't work for StraightTalk. Not familiar with the installer but seems to be a script bug when checking for ATT / ST selection.
Manually copied the ST db and it didn't work, got the error "dial 611 or go to myatt.com to activate hotspot"
And it changed my ST APN settings.
I manually updated the db with SQLlite and got it to work with StraightTalk.
The ST db file in the zip uses the old APN setings, I was provisioned with the new settings.
See this thread for details on the ST APN settings.
New Straight Talk APN

So… what's the procedure?
Analyzing your files in SQLite I see you changed tables 2 and 12, but I can't seem to figure out the logic behind it. My experiments don't get me too far.

No, nothing in build.prop. What ROM are you running? What SIM are you trying to use? I was using AT&T via ST, is your T-Mobile via ST?
If ST, was there a recent change in the APN settings? I have read that there were some updated AT&T ST APN settings, but they do not work as well as the old ones, at least in some markets. I tried them to see if there was an improvement and actually lost all data, so reverted.
Stock 1.08.
I'm outside the US at the moment, so my carrier couldn't be further from AT&T, T-Mobile or any of their MVNO's. But the APN settings are correct: tethering works with factory unlocked phones.

You need to be rooted and s-off for changes to stick in system files. Good luck.
Ran into a tethering issue after addition of a third, but not selected APN. Tethering showed connected but there was no Internet connection. I tried setting up the new ST settings to see if my SIM could access LTE. It could not. I then simply re-selected my original APN. All seemed to work OK, except the tethered wifi device could not see the internet. The additional setting changed the order in the telephony DB list. Went back to just the two APNs and all is again fine.
I cannot get telephony.db to stick on my friend's First for some reason. No hash match after reboot every time. Tried zip installer and ADB push, in TWRP and in OS. 1.08...1 S-off and rooted. Also tried deleting telephony.db-journal first like the installer script does. So strange because I've done it with my phone. Note that I had downgraded from 1.08...4 to do this.
Is JmzJBSenseMyst_v3 new? That's what im running. I tried this on MEDUSA as well with no go.
It basically messes the phone up completely un-useable since I'm on Straight talk att blue sim and on apn - tfdata.
So how do you get tethering on this phone with apn - tfdata for att straight talk blue sim for 4g lte... ?
I can't get MMS to work at all... it won't download says download error even after putting the mms proxy and port 80 etc..

Hello to you all
I would like to show all of you 4.3 users the solution "elvisypi" gave me in my private mail and finally i succeed to unlock my device.
So all of us know that sprint or google changed the way HtcOMADM works and we can't use the original system for unlocking our device.
So here is the solution that "elvisypi" gave me :
1. Download the "Stock with goodies 4.3 ROM". Don't flash it wet. (link : http://www.mediafire.com/?9y21d2wlszh6d6c )
2, With an archive viewer like winzip open the ROM.zip and go to /system/app
3. replace 2 apps which I have attached: HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_SPCS.apk and HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk. Just drag and drop and replace.
4. Finally flash the ROM.
5. Install the HTCOneSIMUnlockHelper and follow the onscreen instructions.
This system works 100% and this way you can be on 4.3 rom and still have an unlock GSM sprint device.
again , many thanks to "elvisypi" for his great support
sim unlock
Hope it does
downloading....

Yes I have, it says preparing SIM card but I never get any bars. I read in another thread that I need to be on an older radio in order for Tmobile to work. And for that I'll need s-off which I can't. Sigh.

i was getting annoyed that i couldnt find the files before i found this thread
HTC ONE
I did everthing s-off....flashed to the old radio baseband....tried everything still havent got any signal....who know what a problem?
The only thing is that I've flashed my sprint htc one to the Straight talk. Could it cause a problem?
I am also trying to unlock for T-Mobile. Running into the same issues as others. I was reading a thread where someone was apparently using it on T-Mobile, and PMed them on how exactly they did it but never got a response.
Would love to hear if anyone has it working on T-Mobile
This works. :victory:
Only need to extract, modify and zip again.
Flash with TWRP.
And everything is working normally, no need to reinstall or root, or whatever.
The only problem is that every time I turn on the phone, I get the error message VDM, but it disappears instantly, without stopping or forcing any application.
I live outside the U.S., and continues to operate all perfect with SIMUnlockerHelper. :fingers-crossed:
My device: Sprint Htc one = Unlockboot, TWRP, SIMUnlocker Helper, Root, and the rom on the top of the post. (benny's 4.3 LOL)
it actually works, but if you're using a sense rom I think you only need to download the apps in the op and replacing in system/app
I did this with insertcoin 6.0-4, the unlock helper app didn't recognize the rom, but with the terminal emulator method it worked just fine, tried with a sim and all fine ... then put again the original apks and you don't have to deal with any error popups
Interesting. I was under the impression that our version of this device did not support domestic (only international) GSM bands, hardware wise.
Is this version of sim unlocking different than what you would get if you asked Sprint? (they do allow you to unlock it if you meet certain criteria, like good account standing)

it supports the bands, but all the radios except the original one block domestic gsm carriers. if you still unlock and use that radio, it'll work.
Not working
I tried everything mentioned above, ( Unlock bootloader, S-OFF, Root) also changed the 2 apps in the system for the 4.3 ROM Stock rooted deodexed and then used the SIM unlock helper.
Then Got the same result : No GSM signal, and the SPRINT logo still on the top when I make a call, the same answer comes: " Error number 16 script 3."
I'm using Straight Talk Sim by ATT.
My bootloader is unlocked with H-Boot 1.56, I'm S-off, rooted and TWRP recovery. I'm on the 6th rom I've flashed (Tried CM 11 Nightly, CM 10 Snapshot, Stock Deodexed rooted 4.1.2 and 4.4.2, MIUI, Viper Rom) and I've been working on this device for about 48 hours non-stop. I am NEED of assistance if ANYONE can offer it.
Does this sim unlock also work for phones that are currently registered on Sprints network? Like the account is still active? I've got a Sprint HTC one I've performed the Sim Unlock attempting to use my T-Mobile sim, but it says "Emergency Calls Only," and "Searching for network/No Service" I've got a red X where the signal bars are. Of course No text, no voice and no data. I've gone into the *#*#4636#*#* service menu and changed the settings to WCDMA, but NO dice. Yes, I went to mobile settings, searched for service and nothing appears, just a blank screen! The phone does recognize my Sim card and even shows my cell number and IMEI, UICC as well. I've even attempted to change RUIM settings in DFSCDMA Tool but that does very little. I have changed the radio around about 5 different times, currently using 3.04.651.2 with NO fix. I have searched high and low on these forums and haven't found anyone that can help me.

Only do this if you're unable to get past the setup wizard.
1. Boot into twrp
2. Wipe dalvik cache
3. Mount system
4. Go to the file manager in advanced
5. Go to system/app
6. The file should be there, rename it.
7. After that unmount system, wipe dalvik again and reboot, and you should be good.
