I keep searching, but can't find anything. Is there a site that I can buy the code from or is it even GSM capable in the country?

I just called and spoke to the International services people. They waived the 90-day requirement for me, and unlocked the phone. Haven't tested it yet, though.

HI dev ,
i am from Nagpur, did you got any solution for Sprint MOTO X ? pl help me if you have any solution. i bought two phones from eBay.
Thanks.
Sorry.. as far as I know .. no solutions yet .

No man can hack it, what a pity!
Unlocking the phone for use with GSM Sim without Sprint service is not possible as Moto only releases the codes to the specific carrier and Sprint will not give it to you.
If you do get it unlocked, it will not work in the US on a GSM network ie: T-Mobile or ATT. They're hardware restricted from working on local GSM networks p/fca allowances. I have seen a few devices like some black Berry's work locally after being unlocked but they are few and far between.

Hi, My friend Joined Boost Mobile and they gave him an HTC One. He is not happy with Boost and is going to change carriers. He wants to know if he can flash his phone for another carrier like Sprint or Verizon or ATT or T-mobile or is he better off selling the phone on Ebay and getting a phone through his new carrier?
Thanks for any input you can give.

When we talked about this, he said the phone doesn't have a sim. I have no idea if thats true or not. I texted him to double check. He got the phone from Boost when he signed up with them.

Hi Guys,
I purchased a used Galaxy Note 9 that has the ATT startup and boot animation. I check the IMEI number and it's good, so I went ahead and unlocked the phone through a paid service. When I insert my Verizon sim card, it says that a "Network Locked" sim card has been inserted.
Do I need to load a different firmware to get this to work? I thought the Note 9 supported both GSM and CDMA with the same hardware, but maybe I'm wrong. I haven't posted in here in a while and if this is in the wrong spot, I apologize.
Thanks in advance!

Damn...thank you guys...apparently, the online service said their servers are down and they can't access their database now.
I tried two others so I hope one of them comes up with a successful unlock code. I rechecked the IMEI number and that still comes back good, so I guess it's a waiting game. Thank you for the advice!

Thanks man, just signed up for his service...I will let you know how it pans out. Thank again!
So I was able to get a Note 9 phone I purchased used sim / network unlocked. It was previously on ATT and I'd like to use it on Verizon now. Is it possible to do this? It shows my number, but any other sim information says unknown.
I'm guessing I have to load some kind of Verizon tower info (terminology might be wrong). I thought that stuff is in a CSC file or something. Not sure if I need to flash a whole new ROM, but any guidance would be appreciated.

Once you unlock the phone it will work with Verizon and will configure all the settings as soon as you insert the aim
That's what I thought, but this isn't working. It keeps bringing up the ATT boot animation. I did confirm again that the IMEI is successfully unlocked, but when I login to Verizonwireless on my PC and enter the IMEI it says it's not compatible with Verizon's network.
Is there a database somewhere that has this as a GSM only Note 9. This phone came from an ATT customer...who got the buy one get one free. I sim unlocked it with a third party service.
I'm just wondering if I'm under the false pretense it can handle both GSM and CDMA networks and maybe I'm locked to GSM only...
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

You need to flash it to Verizon firmware . Unlike the note 8 carrier versions , the note 9 doesn't rebrand to what sim card is installed currently.

Hi I successfully flashed Verizon firmware and it still doesn't work.it still has att splash screen and won't connect to Verizon. Please help
Just to make sure that the phone is actually unlocked try T-mobile Sim see if it works.
And if T-mobile sim works then Try N960U1 (XAA) Firmware which is USA unlocked firmware for Unlocked Samsung Note 9 that works with all carriers. so once you insert Verizon sim, it should reboot and set it up for Verizon network.
I did it with T-Mobile Note 8 and was able to use it on Verizon network. Right now I have a Factory unlocked note 9. N960U1 can't really test it because it works with all carriers out of the box.

Did you ever got your AT&T note 9 working on verizon?
I haven't had access to any active Verizon sim cards so I could test them. I just got my note 9 512gbyesterday so I'm gonna give it a go. I'm sure it can happen. Where there's a will there's a way. My only issue is paying 53$ for unlocking. I know there are way cheaper services, I just want to be sure its credible
I have an ATT note 9 unlocked the sim, installed Stock SM-N960U1 USA Unlocked Firmware Odin "N960U1UEU1ARH2" and everything is working like a charm with my Verizon sim card.

I'm not w/VZW,but,I believe if your VZW SIM was activated in another phone,you should be able to drop the SIM Card in (& possibly setting up the APN) & that's it.
However,if you're starting new service w/VZW & the SIM Card hasn't been activated in another phone yet,a call to VZW's customer care is likely in order to get things rollin'.
Again,I'm not w/VZW,just going off memory of what I've read around various sites,so,if your still having issues,contact VZW.
FWIW,it's not the hardware,all US Note 9's are identical on the inside (less storage & RAM options).
Also,some have wrongly stated that flashing firmware will somehow magically SIM Unlock a phone,this is the furthest thing from the truth.
I already had the phone unlocked through a service. I got the code put it in and it said unlock successful. But when you start it up Att logo still shows up and the Verizon Sim does nothing. Other forums say you must upload the unlocked software from the unlocked version of the phone??

There's a few things that could be going on:
1) Even though you checked the IMEI to be clear,that is not a 100% full-proof guarantee of anything,less some proof the phone was paid off in full before you bought it.
Also,the phone might have been reported lost or stolen after you purchased it,but,before you actually took delivery of it (A scam artist coulda sold you the phone).
2) Not knowing which exact unlocking service you purchased,whatever you paid for may not have been what you needed for an actual SIM Unlock.
3) If the phone indeed was/is originally an AT&T Model,I'd guess you'd need to be running that firmware to ensure a proper SIM Unlock,but,don't quote me on that,for now.
I'm guessing you're gonna need to contact AT&T customer care regarding the SIM Status of your phone.................
Once that's resolved/SIM Unlocked,if you want to move to VZW firmware,yes,flash the unlocked (SM-N960U1) firmware 1st,then the VZW firmware afterwards,to ensure full functionality for VVM/Wi-Fi Calling/etc.......
You might be able to somehow get all of that working on unlocked firmware,but,I'm not up on all-things-VZW & the Note 9.
But,1st things 1st,get w/AT&T & see if there's anything going on preventing the phone from being SIM Unlocked before you waste any more money on SIM Unlocking services.
As far as paid services,I've used Masterunlockcode & UnlockBase w/a 100% success rate,there's others out there,some mentioned in this very section/thread..............
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?
Thanks!

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.

Currently there's a procedure to unlock boot loader for all models *except* t mobile. The procedure isn't simple though. Look in rom/devs sub forum.

That I don't know. I got a Sprint model and it seems to work fine with att, though I've been stuck at home like everybody else so I haven't really tested the network. The Sprint model is on Android 9. I don't know what the situation is on att.
Sprint does load the phone with a bunch of bloat and spam ware, most of which you can disable. I imagine att does the same. I'd just buy what is available at lowest price.
