I received a brand new touch pro yesterday from Sprint. I performed an activation online and I can place calls and send text messages with no problems. However, the internet connection doesn't work. I called sprint and they tried to get me to program the phone but the unlock code they provided doesn't work. They gave me two unlocked codes to try. I even tried to use the GETSPC program and the codes generated there still doesn't work. Any reason why? I noticed that under the device information section, the MEID displays the HEX rather than the DEC number. Is there a way to fix this issue? Thanks.
It's an account provisioning problem. Stop by a Sprint store and have them look up your account. Otherwise, just get the unit exchanged if it still doesn't work.
I can't use the call forwarding option. When I try to use I have a message with sim or red error. When I try to use the codes like #21# I have a message server don't respond. The smartphone is unlocked and I don't live in USA . I utilize another carrier (claro) . If I put my sim in another smarthphone no ATT is all ok.
It's possible to do something rooting the phone or changing the rom?
Thanks a lot
I have a weird problem that I think is preventing me from adding a second sim to my device. Yesterday I activated a Google Fi Sim with a Google Pixel and then put the sim into a OnePlus 3T. I think during that process it disabled dual sim functionality. I abandoned Google Fi altogether and went to T-Mobile yesterday and got a sim from them directly. I now show the same IMEI number for both sims. I think this problem is not allowing me to setup a data connection for the new T-Mobile SIM. It worked before with no issues, now it doesn't. I would really like to fix this problem myself and not return it to OnePlus. Is there a program I can use with USB debugging? I am in school for IT, so I have a pretty good knowledge on how this kind of stuff works, but I am in no way a expert. As long as I have clear detailed instructions I can probably handle whatever advise you may have.
summary:
I have a one plus 3t showing the same IMEI of both sim trays in settings and *#06#.
Cant setup data or MMS for T-Mobile, phone calls work.
Moderate knowledge of computers, but need clear instructions.
Phone is rooted, not able to use xposed because using nougat (not sure if it matters, just FYI)
Based in USA
Solved
I ended up reloading the ROM and the IMEI issue was fixed.
I got a Sprint locked N950U device today from a third party, that I'd wish to unlock to work with any (international) carrier. I checked the IMEI and it's listed as clean. However, when I put a t-mobile card in, or a European SIM, and restart the phone I don't get the 'Enter network unlock code' dialog. After the OTA update I do get Sprint OMADM notification about trying to register the phone on the network, but since I don't have a SIM plan it fails. Do I first have to have the phone running registered on Sprint (or MVNO?) and then can switch to another carrier?
Also, when I go to at least two unlocking services online, and enter the make and model of the phone and IMEI, I never get an e-mail with unlock details and the form submission button just keeps saying 'Please wait'.

For Sprint's registeration/activation nag, have you tried disabling the responsible packages using an app like Package Disabler? If not, do that and see if still getting the unlock message. Worst case it will at least take care of the other nags. If you still get the unlock code message then try contacting Sprint to unlock. If you go 3rd party service, I've used cellunlocker dot net before.
i found samsungphoneunlock they unlock my note 8 from sprint via remote connection, someone has connected to my laptop and i follow some instructions and they unlock the phone for me..they told me sprint phone do not ask for code..i hope this helps..cheers
Hi I am in need of some help. I will try to give as much detail as possible.
I was talking on the phone 3 days ago and suddenly my call was cut short. The signal icon at the top was greyed out and it had a little x in the bottom. I tried to figure out what happened and at first I thought the cell tower went down because I was unable to connect to 2g, 3g, LTE/4g, nothing.
Next day with my father visiting my house, I tried his phone, put in my SIM, it works, there is signal (nothing greyed out) and I see the name of the phone service at the top left "Personal". His phone with his SIM works as well. Cell towers are working fine. I put my SIM back in my phone, no signal, not able to make phone calls or receive text messages.
At this time WIFI, Whatsapp, the phone itself works. I double checked APN settings from the carriers website, everything matched. I tried rebooting the phone, reseating the chip, selecting towers automatically, manually, and read many many discussions on the web none of which helped. I decided to do a factory reset. Backed up all photos to the computer and proceeded to reset it to factory new. Put in the SIM and same problem. Oh I also in the meantime have spoken with my service provider and they do not see anything wrong on their end.
So now I proceed to restore the phone from a backup on my MI account, all apps restored. Now I try to use Whatsapp and it wants to confirm my account with a text message, that is a problem because I can't receive text messages. I went to my service provider today, they put in a store SIM with a different number and it worked, they assumed I had a faulty SIM and gave me a new SIM with my number, same problem. Now I think it has something to do with XIaomi or MIUI or my MI account. I log into my MI account from my computer and try to add my email under security and it won't let me because it needs verify my account by sending a text message to my cell which of course is not working.
I am thinking of rooting the phone but I imagine I will somehow be blocked there too.
What happened to my phone?
Is my account being protected in some way MIUI, XIaomi or my MI account preventing me from activating my SIM?
Everything I try to do requires a confirmation text.
I want to root the phone but in order to do so I need to request that Xiaomi unlock the bootloader which will require a text message which of course is to be sent to my phone that wont connect to the cell tower.
Was I hacked or spoofed?
How do I go about fixing my situation?
Have you tried changing region and changing back to your country again? That may be possible reason.
For confirmation of code for bootloader unlocking, while applying put your sim card into other phone and that way you'll be able to get code and bootloader unlocked and can flash and try with different rom.
Similarly if your device is out of warranty then you may want to check with the antenna cable inside phone if that is got disconnected or got loosen. I don't if this would have happened or not but this could be issue. Process with precaution if you do so,I won't be responsible for anything.
