Anyone has any news?
I see DFS software offer their "OTA" for R950 for 35usd
can we get any benefit from that?

Go to Phone Dialer and type *#22745927
Enable Hidden Menu
Go to Phone Dialer and type *#7284#

That should work. It worked on the verizon gs3

Yes, on U.S.C. SIII and R950 it works very well, but...
One more thing:cool:
In PhoneUtil don't touch USB and UART - they're must be in PDA position.
At the bottom of screen you must see buton with diag modes. Press it, and in next window select Diag+ADB+... without reset it enables diag port.
Another service menu: 47*68#13580 - debug, and other cool stuff.
Btw, sorry my english:eek:

I'm looking into this too, except that I don't care about GSM.

I live outside USA and my telco will soon release a new 4G LTE on the 1900mhz band and already have CDMA in the 800mhz band.

So I would like very much to know if this phone could be unlocked for the LTE part or if is already unlocked, I know that the CDMA should be reprogrammed with a new PRL.

Any help would be very appreciate.

Correct! All you need is the prl for cdma and disable lte. I wish I would find someone to sim unlock. I just need data.

Not at the moment. I had the at&t version and it was easy to unlock. I thought the Sch R950 would be the same. Us cellular completely took the option to swap carriers out of the equation. The menu needed to unlock the phone sim is missing. Unless someone finds a way to add the menu or fool the phone to think it has a US Cellular sim installed, we are out of luck.

Download the app from the post. Open it. Click menu soft key. Click enable hidden menu. Click back button once enabled. Click launch hidden menu button on the app.

Thanks for that reply-- yes, as I said, I did successfully use the app to access the hidden menus but could not take the next giant leap to actually unlock the phone, and was wondering if anyone else had. Sounds like still no?

    This is a CDMA Phone, not unlocking need it. If you want to use it on another network different than Sprint you have to reflash with a PRL from the carrier you want. The GSM is disable and there isn't a slot for the SIM, there's a hardware modification that you can try.

    Please read previous posts...it has a sim slot

    anyhow ..
    Has anyone been able to port those Network Lock option files from another model such as ATT or any other models that shows the options?
