My wife got me a unlocked galaxy s5 that was a at&t phone. I have metro pc's as a carrier and I want to be able to use Wi-Fi calling with the phone. Does anyone know a way to change it to t mobile since metro pc's uses the mobiles network. I just sent it to Samsung for repair and told them the truth which is that I got the phone unlocked. Please help. I'm only a savvy user at best.
If the phone has the AT&T marshmallow update, you should be able to use WiFi calling. You will not be able to flash the tmo firmware to the phone, if that is what you are asking. The phone is probably SIM unlocked, the bootloader is not unlocked...which would allow easy flashing.

1) My friend (U.S.) gave me (Canada) a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4. I am trying to use it with Wind Mobile.
2) He claims that T-Mobile performed a carrier unlock, which seems to be confirmed because putting a foreign SIM card in does not ask for an unlock code.
3) My Wind Mobile SIM can't register on network. I tried a Rogers SIM as well and a different Wind Mobile SIM and they didn't work either.
4) The Wind Access Point Names have been entered, but manually selecting the network does not work either. It just says "Unable to connect, try later".
Am I missing something here? Is there another type of lock I need T-Mobile to remove? Do I need to flash the ROM? Thanks in advance.
If same sim cards work in other phones i would think that phone is blacklisted. On the other hand nowadays tmobile can issue temporary unlock codes for international travel. I dont know if Canada is considered international or not. Tmobile will permanently fully unlock device when paid off.
Hey all, I was wondering if I could use the Metro PCS or T-Mobile roms on my recently updated (and unlocked) AT&T Galaxy S5 on the 6.0.1 update with baseband G900AUCU4DPH2?
If so, what steps (link) should I take to do this? Also, would it be possible if I had to use the T-Mobile rom, can I make wifi calling and video calling? I'm using a Metro PCS sim, and I had a T-Mobile GS4 before and everything worked fine on it, I just can't make Wifi calls with AT&T because they crippled their phone.
Thanks!
Hi, I'm new here but have been using the site for a long time to root several phones of mine over the years. I have a question. I just bought the Galaxy s6 for US Cellular but I have a Cricket SIM and the phone is factory unlocked so when I got it, I had to set up APN to use and now shows as ATT. Cricket ,ATT same company now, I know. The question is, is there a way I can either put this phone on ATT or Cricket stock rom? I have issues with signal bars and I really want Wifi Calling as a bonus. Tried flashing ATT ROM with Odin and 5 files but no luck. PIT failes to re-partition. Any help? Thank you.
Hi Guys, I'm wondering if someone more knowledgeable can help advise. I've spent 12 hours and cant activate my Unlocked Qualcomm Note8 on any of my service providers (SMN-950U1.)
I want to use it on Boom Mobile Red (Verizon MVNO)
I cant get the Network Operator to configure, when I select Verizon it fails on configuration. I'm not referring to APN because I do not even get calls, the Operator is listed as "Emergency Calls Only". The Sim works perfect on my Pixel XL and iPhone 7 Plus. This phone was purchased unlocked form Samsung direct with clean IMEI. I called Samsung and they have no idea, they said the phone is defective, which I believe it is not.
I had an issue activating with Sprint and still have not had Data working, though I was able to get calls. I've given up w/ Sprint and will upgrade that line with a iPhone X.
I inserted my friends Verizon Post Paid Sim from his Moto Mod phone and everything was perfect (calls, TM, LTE calling) and the phone got LTE+. Is it possible the Note8 unlocked will only work with the big 4 carriers, ST and TW? I read a similar issue people from Boost Mobile have when they insert their sims it says invalid Sim. I really have no idea what is going on - Boom doesn't have many customers and their support team has never delt with this issue, they said the phone is defective. Has anyone been able to use a Unlocked Note8 on Boom? I've tried flashing various variants of firmware, including Verizon with no success. I'm puzzled with what is going on.
I purchased a used galaxy s10 G973U from someone who bought directly from samsung.com unlocked version. he used it with tmobile. Now im trying to activate with sprint and it wont let me. Network sim setting show that sim is unlocked. Im trying to activate my phone on sprint website and it says "This phone can't be activated
Sorry, but this phone can't be activated with Sprint service. Try to re-enter your IMEI/MEID or try another phone."
I thought this phone is supposed to be able to be used with both gsm and cdma network carriers. what are my options besides trying to return it?

Did you contact Sprint and get a sim kit sent to you? You'll have to do that and then it should work. If it doesn't after that, I'd initiate a chat with them through the support page on their website.
Another option is to go to a Sprint store to activate it. They will have the sim card available for it. Im using an unlocked model switching between carrier and carrier-free firmware no problem.
(PS, once you do get it working there's a way to enable hotspot support without it on your plan.)?
