Trying to move VZW S7 -> Sprint

[trippme]

Not having luck with Sprint customer service getting my old unlocked Verizon S7 onto the Sprint network.

Anyone had success or have any hints on how to make this work?

Sprint probably can't unlock your VZW S7, you'd need to ask Verizon wireless to unlock it or use a third party service to unlock it.

Flash the U firmware to it and take it into a store , as long as they dont look at the back of the phone they will be under the impression its a 935u and will push through a activation

Unfortunately, I have U firmware on there and they always look at the back. The problem is arising that the IMEI is not in their system and when they try to add it, it fails. Then they dig deeper and I get nothing but run around.

Finally got to someone who explained that they are not allowed to add a S7 (non-edge) to their network. Stupid.

Yeah, Sprint white lists all their devices by the ESN. The only S7s they will activate on their network are "P" variants sold by them or through their authorized channels or original "U" units (flashing to "U" doesn't count). Stupid? Yeah. But that's Sprint.
