Hi, I am currently on Tmobile (UK) MyFaves plan, with unlimited web 'n' walk. If I purchase the phone off ebay and use it, it should be fine, right?
Please confirm or tell me otherwise.
Thanks and Merry Xmas

Patience padawan, someone will when they have something useful to post. Shameless bumping will only serve to get your thread locked or yourself ridiculed.

Unfortunately, I needed the information quickly which is why I bumped, but I FINALLY got help at another forum
Perhaps you would have gotten a quicker answer had you posted your question in a T-Mobile forum and not a Phone Hardware forum...
There is no TMobile UK Forum, and as I am from the UK, US help would be useless
Customer service is just a call away and a MUCH better resource than a hardware forum.
Regardless though, don't get pissy when a hardware forum doesn't answer a customer service question.
Ok, first of all, I searched, read the sticky's and have not been able to find any info on this:
Is there an XDA-Dev/chef/modder/{insert other titles here} that provides Unlocking services?
Yeah, I know I can google all over the place and find services that will unlock my G1, but I had an HTC Fuze (Raphael) and rather than using one of those services, I paid someone here to do it. You guys here offer a lot, I can't afford to donate as much as I want, but the least I can do is when I can pay for a service, is see if someone here can provide it and spend my money with a community that gives me so much as it is.
Thanks!
Theres a guy on the sapphire general thread giving away three codes a week for the sapphire. He may sell it to you. Most of the time I tell people to Ebay it. Have you contacted your provider yet?

No one on here does it, you can go to or call T-Mobile, and they will do it for free. Just explain that you are not a customer and bought your phone third party and they should be able to do it. They are usually pretty quick about it as well.
Funny, I am a T-Mobile customer.... And an AT&T Customer... lol!
Thanks, I know about calling them and getting it, but as my post said, I wanted to give back to someone here since I could with a paid unlock.
Thanks again all and I will just have to spread the joy and hit some Donate buttons!

I have a donate button, you wanna push it.
Well, just called T-Mobile, they have to request them from HTC and it will be sent, along with instructions, to my email (and also noted in my account).
Can take up to 24 hours, but I am not in that much of a rush, so it's all good.
Thanks all!!!
And I will have to see about your donate button... See if it likes me or not.
i requested it and it came after 1 month, to my email.
I want difinitive answers to this question, no more "SEARCH THE FORUMS/GOOGLES/IM TOO STUPID TO ANSWER YOU MYSELF BUT I WILL RIDICULE YOU CAUSE IM A VIRGIN"
I and many other people want this answer and want it now...
How do you get straight talk to work on a sprint HTC ONE (M7)?
People claim it's either possible or impossible, but I am tired of reading through the multiple threads of ignorant idiots stating thing's that are simply not true.
If you cannot provide proof or a detailed step by step guide on how to accomplish this, then please refrain from typing out your ignorance, this thread is for those who have a Sprint HTC One and would like to use it for straight talk and those who have accomplished this for them to share.
Thank you.
So where is everyone who claims to have straight talk working on their Sprint HTC ONE M7???

you're exactly the type of person I sepcified not to post, you offer nothing constructive to the thread, so why bother posting?
I want to setup a guide for those who want to use straight talk on their sprint htc one and to be able to come to this thread and read through step by step how to do it.
If you have nothing to offer in getting this accomplished, dont post anymore and take your attitude elsewhere.

i've googled, i've binged, i've tried everything, all I find are people who claim to have it working on straight talk and not much info on the method they used to get it to specifically work on straight talk.
simply trying to get straight answers for people to use as a reference. The easier it is for people to understand and implement, the less "qestions for help" will be required for the task.

Have you tried registering your CDMA device on their website? There's a tab you select which will tell you what you want to know after you enter your phones info.
BTW....it took me all of 2 minutes to find that information.

I picked up my Note 9 from Rent A Center, it said "duos" on the box. It says sm-n9600, build number ends in hu1arg6. I'm asking because the way rent a center has their phones configured, set up is kinda weird and I may want to root, etc. So I want to make sure I don't have compatibility issues. One thing I did was run a program that shows it has a sd845. Not sure how accurate that program was, forgot the name.

1) On your phone,go to SETTINGS > ABOUT PHONE. That should tell you everything you need to know. Go ahead & explore the sub-settings there (Status/Software Information).

Thank you. First app let force closing but the second one basically just said codename crown, n9600, sd845. So I don't need to worry about compatibility issues as long as ROMs etc are for a 9600, even with it being dual SIM and all that? Or are they all basically dual SIM?

I can't be sure,but,I believe so.
As for compatible ROMs,I think there's currently 1-2 for the SM-N9600,check w/the developers for info on single/Dual SIM compatibility.

Thank you for all the assistance
You have the HK/Latin america snap version, your bootloader can be unlocked!
There isnt as much development for this version typically as on the exynos but at least your not stuck with a crappy device thats locked down tighter than a drum.
Yo, I have a note 9 from rent a center as well and was hoping to get a little help here.
I have the N9600 ending in JHDF
I do believe that its unlocked but rent a center did a few modifications that I can't gain access to developer options. I did find a way in by stopping the set up process and get into developer options but I couldnt turn on usb debugging which is where I am.
How can I get into that to root? Can I flash the original N9600 to see if I can remove rent a center setup? Or can I straight up flash twrp and root from there? I probably have to flash some other file but I'm unsure. Any kind of help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

It's probably restricted in some way due to the terms of agreement they offer when you buy the phone from them. If it's paid off they should be able to remove it for you.

From what I understand, they do a rent-to-own. Not sure why they have 9600s? I would have assumed they would use N960U.

My guess is they probably buy those because they are more easily able to install their tracking and lock-down software on it. They probably have the bootloader unlocked, a custom rom with their software installed, and then re-lock it all.
There was a fella on the note 8 forums a while back with similar questions with a renta center device.

Yup. They use the 9600. And if you pay it off in 6 months, then the phone costs $1,871. But if you use the full 78 weeks to pay it off, then it costs $3,119. That's insane.
My concern would be the original owner would stop making their weekly RAC payments, and you get locked out of your Note 9. I believe that's what happened to the guy in the Note 8 forums.
I would assume that the prices from RAC are different depending on the region because in California right now the 6 month buy out cost us 1400 and at the long term is about 1900 which us still extremely high but some people have very bad credit or no credit at all and have to resort to something like this. The only other reason I did get us is because it has an unlocked bootloader and will be able to root it and start moding it to my preference etc. But I will have to wait till I pay it off now. I was hoping someone had already found a way around RAC type of lockdown.
Oh my god... How do they convince people to pay over three times the price for this phone?

I mean... Priorities? There are any number of other smartphone alternatives besides a three thousand dollar phone that's actually worth less than 1k. If you're that desperate to obtain the latest Note device maybe shift that determination onto sorting out one's personal finances? That's just my thoughts.

First of all, I have my priorities and my finances are well in order. I can go on about credit, interest rates and over pricing for a smartphone, you dont know what I need this smartphone and its definitely not not all for pleasure. For you to go out of your way and quote me on something like this and judge me on my finances is just plan ignorant but if you amuses you, go right ahead quote me, I wont play your game and simply ignore it from here on out. I'm just here for help and guidance on information about the phone and root.

It wasn't specifically directed at you. I'm sorry for not qualifying my comment.
FINAL EDIT: As many have noticed this thread is/has been very dead. First off, I tried to have someone on the mods to get this account of mine shutdown. That did not work as you can tell, but when that did not work I decided to just ignore this whole thing all together Second, this operation was not a man job as I was simply a middle man for a woman who wanted to help people but needed a hand. I was simply taking the info and spreading it to her. As popularity grew in the thread more and more requests came in and queue times were going to take longer and longer to fulfil. At some point I decided to give her access to my account because I was getting busy at my job and had no way to constantly upload new information to her so we could continue. This would give her a way to look into my messages and gather some info when she had her own time. I have no knowledge of what happened since, except for a few replies I would see that she made with my account. I would imagine over time she finally stopped or got caught since this thread and my messages are finally dying off. I do apologize if you were not helped but thankfully someone at some point during this period offered help in their own way too. So, THANK YOU GUYS for all the patience you gave, and I hope you guys enjoy the root or unlocked bootloader that you got because of this post.
I got mine this way too and there was no pressure for any kind of payment or anything.

That's my favorite part about all of this! She doesn't try to pressure you into any donations or payment! It's fantastic honestly. Now I have to wait either for the token, or for the msm tool to be cracked for tmo conversion.

She isnt doing anything against policy, T-Mobile reps have a lot of leeway with regards to the unlock policy, I have gotten 'manager overrides' to unlock for basically every single tmo device I've ever had since the note5. All I've ever had to do was call customer care. Although this time I pm the aforementioned user because I didn't want to wait on hold until I get a rep that would finally understand how to get it done.

Or simply waiting for the patched MDM tool and convert to international so you can unlock bootloader without needing:
1. TMobile
2. Unlock key
I understand the views behind the idea of donations. It was never mandatory. If you don't wish to, you don't have to. Simple as that. Either way it's someone going out of their way in our community, to help us out. They at least deserve a thanks of any kind.

Dre is 100% right. My wife is a supervisor in a TMobile call center and the user doing this would 100% lose her job if caught. There is a big difference between getting an override from a supervisor and going into someone's account the way she is. Due to Port out fraud T-Mobile has placed many safeguards on accounts. One of those being pin number/password for the account. Going into someone's account without having it verified through T-Mobile's policy is 100% enough to get her fired no questions asked.
Don't get me wrong I think it's awesome that she's unlocking phones for people but the way she is doing it she would 100% lose her job if her name got out.
So for those who thought the Pm's did not go through... They did lol. I just woke up and updated the info for the person to unlock everyone's devices. Please note it may take some time, who knows how busy a work day could be for them. If it is any help, when I originally requested mine, I did so at 10pm (around then) and it was done the following day around 4pm. So thank you for all of your patience! I will be personally PMing all of you when each one is done.
