Anyone got one they can sell me? I want a lightly used one with clean esn.... has to have older security version software that allows the use of hidden menu apk. Even better if it's already sim unlocked and have tethering enabled

Will pay good price with paypal. PM me.

I got a G5 from ebay and it has the latest security software ver ZVF preventing the use of hidden menu as well as a lot of other features. so thinking of returning it.

also, i noticed i couldn't lte data stream while talking on the phone (non-VOIP) at the same time on the particular G5 i got... Weird since i could do that on my old samsung s4

Why buy the sprint model? It’s not worth it unless your using sprint....

GSM and unlocked models can be gotten under $100


Also about having LTE while on the phone. Not possible if using it on a non sprint carrier. As it’s not gonna support volte

Well, I am on sprint. I actually bought a G5 on ebay last week. Unfortunately it has ZVF security software ver which prevents me from using the hidden menu..apk to access the menu to enable tethering. I need ver ZV8 or earlier.... It's already unlocked, but hotspot is actually very vital to me. I would rather just go back to my old S4 if i can't get hotspot enabled. And no way in f;ckin hell i am going to pay sprint $30/month for the hotspot subscription when i am paying already $60/month for my unlimited data plan...... So there's that...

My old sprint samsung s4 can certainly stream lte data when i talk on phone..... So it was complete surprise that the sprint G5 i got couldn't do that. didn't know it was just my G5 or maybe that's common to all sprint G5......
