I'm glad so far after unlocking it and used on TMobile for a few months. But a pity is that I cannot use it in Mexica - even my Simple Choice Family plan claimed to support free voice/text/data in Mexico. The symptom is the phone cannot find signal immediately after i cross the border (and of course I had enabled the international roaming). Do i need turn on other network options, or set another APN over there? Thanks!

I was hoping to use my note 3 with project fi (data only sim) and was stuck till I followed the instructions. Finally I Can connect 2g. Anybody else using fi get it to work at 3g or lte?
I'm currently running mi3 with phronesis note 7 rom, so far seems pretty stable.

Hi, is this method valid for unlocking a TMO NOTE 5? I had it unlocked with stifilz and he did it remotely but I cant seem to contact him and the thread has now been closed. Maybe he used a similar method to this one.

Why would you think a method for unlocking a Sprint Note 3 would apply to a T-Mobile Note 5...???

Guess there's one way to find out

I was wondering if someone could help me with my issue with my Sprint Note. mine is full paid for and I have the unlock code from sprint and don't know how to use it. How can I input the code to unlock the phone and move to another carrier Like Metro PCS and still get 4g speeds?

Seriously? How about you start by reading the very first post of this thread? If unlocking it was as simple as a little code, do you really think this all would be necessary??

Yes, the "code" that you have is worthless - it's not used in the unlocking of the phone at all. Samsung unlock codes are 8 digits anyways - not 6

Yes I did read the beginning of the post my problem is since I upgraded to a new device Sprint acts like they can't internationally unlock it so they gave the the sim unlock code. But, the people at Metro PCs acts like they don't know what to do with it. It's the same code people pay for but i got mine for free from my carrier.

Every Thing you need is in the 1st post.
If you don't know root or unlock read the stickies for how to. Backup you IMEI apps in play store. Google is you friend.
Good Luck.

1. Why would you think that an INTERNATIONAL unlock would make the phone work here in the US at Metro PCS.

2. What part of "the code you have is worthless" do you not understand...? Does the phone ask for a code when you insert a non Sprint SIM?

I'm on PH1 bl/modem, is there a way to downgrade to MJ4 modem? I get some error Fused 3 > Binary 2 or something. Someone asked like 50pages behind but I don't believe he got an answer.
Update: nevermind. Phone seems to be at MJ4 despite failing to flash..
Update2: I did some of the steps but sim was still set to locked. Sim was no longer being detected. I reverted all my changes (i think), and still happens. Tried going back to PH1 modem like 5 times and it's stuck on Mj4. Any service menu settings help in getting sprint sim detected again?
Update3: flashed MJ4 from another source. The reset code from the first page took effect now. Phew.
