That's why I brought it, after hearing the stories about no data on the S4. I My MoPho is completely stock so I thought that was odd. Instead of trying it on vonage, I just picked up a hot spot and slip it in my pocket when I don't have wifi. I haven't gone over a gig yet since I've hopped on wifi quite a bit. Cost me $24 for the hot spot and 1 gig of data.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] autoprime:
tried SPC/MSL, SPRINT, 000000, 111111, 123456 etc. No go. Control key is most likely 8 digits. There's a chance that this hidden menu might not even work for our phones and we have no control key. Hoping that's not the case. :fingers-crossed:

My sprint s4 is unlocked via sprint and I am running on a vodafone gsm provider in Oz. I have perfect call/text service however I do not have access to any data even 3g even though my sim card prepaid plan included 1GB of data.

I was able to purchase a micro-sim from a local store and pop it right in. Before I left for the states all I had to do was to do the uicc unlock once I spoke to sprint. I am on contract and had the phone less than 90 days.

I am curious though why my data does not work even though the service here supports 850,900,2100,1200 bands. Our sprint/verizon s4 versions support the most bands according to wiki. I called customer support of vodafone but they cant push a ota for our model of phones but they can do other models.

Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] autoprime:
its an apn issue. you need to find the proper apn setting for that carrier.. then find way to edit the apn in the rom. the stock touchwiz rom blocks this. so you'll need a hack.. a 3rd party app.. or to change roms to something like CM10.1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
I've read all these threads on unlocking but haven't seen mention, or breezed passed it, on which number you call for Sprint to get it unlocked. Do we just call regular customer service, or is there a specific department to call like Sprint Worldwide or something like that. I know the limits of the unlock, and may never use it, but I fly a corporate jet and sometimes go to Mexico, the Caribbean, and possibly Europe (after we acquire a new airplane later this year). I would love to have the option to put in a local sim and use my phone for calls and texts. Data would be nice too, but I'm fine using hotel wifi for that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] J0eggernaut:
Can you recommend an 3rd party apn app for stock touchwiz? I am rooted on stock mf9 with 4g hotspot mod.

As for which number to call for to get sprint to unlock the phone for international use there is an international section of the sprint website with the contact number.

EDIT: I was able to use offline apn database but the apn settings are blocked from changing. Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Ingenium13:
If you're rooted, add the following to the end of your build.prop file, then reboot and you'll be able to edit the APN (it won't greyed out anymore):

ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] autoprime:
wow, nice one. may I ask how you figured this out? never understood where people pull these random build.prop edits from lol.

*Edit*

ahh, nvm I see this trick has been used on previous samsung phones.

while we're on the subject of build prop edits... for those that may not have a sim card for their device and use it for 3g only but are tired of seeing the "no sim card" error...

ro.config.tima=1
ro.config.donot_nosim=true
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
Just to be sure, I can just add this to the end of my build.prop or do I have to find these lines and edit them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pvinodnayak:

Hi guys.

HTC One sprint unlocked. Perhaps you have what some information about unlocking galaxy S4? Are there specialists who are trying to solve this problem? I am ready to help. I see that this topic is not very popular, unlike HTC.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Ingenium13:
I found it when someone mentioned it on another forum discussing whether the Sprint S4 actually has WCDMA 850 (It does, see my post on page 4: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/3645-umtswcdma-850mhz-disabled-on-the-sprint-galaxy-s4-why/).

Help

hi guys can anyone tell me how to find the build.prop file on my galaxy s4 l720

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

Sorry but i already edited the build.prop and there are no APN menu on my device
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Ingenium13:
You still need to get into the APN settings a different way. The build.prop edit won't make the menu appear under Settings. I used a Nova Launcher shortcut, but there are likely specific apps in the Play Store to do it, and I'm pretty sure I also saw an adb command somewhere you can run to open APN settings. The difference is that once in this menu, without making the build.prop changes you can see the APNs, but you can't edit or add a new one. With the build.prop changes it lets you do this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pvinodnayak:
As you mentioned in your earlier post, the apk is only to generate the pop-up "enter control key", it has to compare the entered value with some information in the phone itself, if the value is right the phone is unlocked, else it's the other way around.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Nautilusus:
The build.prop edit worked for me but you have to go into Mobile Networks after settings, and it can be edited.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Nautilusus:
Correct, what I found is that most of the comparison data is either empty or non-existent. More than likely it needs to be downloaded. If anyone can send me htcdm.apk I can probably adapt it to work on the SPH-L720. Worth a shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pvinodnayak:
Which phone and could you please tell me the location of the apk.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Nautilusus:
HTC One, should be in /system/app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pvinodnayak:
Will try, and this apk you want is from a unlocked phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Nautilusus:
Yes, locked or unlocked, does not matter.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Dnice25:
You want to try to switch build.Props or edit I think you should Try it with a unlocked gs4 instead of another phone like the htc one? You could corrupt the build prop n mess up your phone? If I were you get a riff box n then do the modifications you want cause its most likely your phone could end up bricked!!!! But it's worth a shot?:confused:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Nautilusus:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Nautilusus:
You sir, are a God amongst men. Okay I'll work on this..... gotta start somewhere, right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] J0eggernaut:
FYI for any future readers:

I am unlocked on a international gsm sim card in Australia. My phone is a stock sprint s4. I had to call sprint prior to leaving for australia to get the uicc unlock. I am on contract and didnt have the phone for 90 days but they will unlock it for you. You have to go to international support section of sprint site to find the contact details to put the request in.

While I am in the states with my stock sprint sim card phone works fine. I can put the international gsm sim card in while in the states and the phone sees it but of course no service.

Once I was in australia talk/phone service was available on the the vodafone sim card but no data. In order to also get data you need to set the correct apn settings for the carrier. The only issue you can't on the stock mf9 rom even rooted. You have to add the two lines of script to the build.prop file to unlock the ability to edit apn settings in stock rom. Once you can do this you have to look up the apn settings for the carrier and then data works. Vodafone cant push an ota for apn settings for us specific s4s, only international version s4.

So currently I am running on a gsm network with data on a rooted stock mf9.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pvinodnayak:
Anybody knows what they do to your phone through OTA? what files they access or modify? Maybe we can get those files to compare with the unlocked one's.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Nautilusus:
Okay....... Update...... Went through all files that Autoprime supplied and nothing that links to a sim release. However....... did get some data that I can build a small script from but it lacks some data that I believe can be sourced from an unlocked Sprint SPH-L720. All I need is the app folder. No personal data there....... except for your downloaded apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Ingenium13:
Which app folder? What directory is it? Do you need every file in it, or just a directory listing to see which might be useful?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pvinodnayak:
The whole stock /system/app folder. Copy it to comp zip it and upload.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Ingenium13:
OK, I'll do it tomorrow (unless someone beats me to it). I'm surprised the unlock would add an app there (especially since it's mounted read only).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Nautilusus:
System/app folder. I do not need every file but all just to be safe.

---------- Post added at 03:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 AM ----------

Hey thanks for the quick replies. I'm working on this ..... plenty sleepless nights. App folder may link to, if not contain unlock. Must be from an UNLOCKED SPH-L720 /system/app folder.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] honking:
I think this helps nothing. The sim unlock will write something to the radio, not change files in the /system.

you can do uicc unlock in the system update menu again, and send the log to me.

you can get log by "adb logcat >xxx.log", this command will write the system log to your computer.

send the log to me ,maybe I can find out what has the sprint done while unlock the phone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dino_mk:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Nautilusus:
The information I am requesting does not contain personal information that can be found in the logcat. Sharing logcat info can be dangerous, also flashing an unlocked modem........ that could make the modem unresponsive to any AT protocols.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] honking:
I think the uicc unlock OTA will send some data to the ril.

From the code, paramInt2 maybe comes from ota, if we can get the right rule of the paramInt2, we should unlock the phone.

If you do uicc unlock successful, the value of paramInt2 will write into the logcat, that's why I need logcat.

paramInt2 may encrypt with imei ..

Hey guys, so question. I'm rooted and running a run. Does the unlock still work?... I know this is a noob question but I'm so confused....

Edit: Never mind. I think I figured out the answer. I'm just going back to stock and then finishing the unlock process. Then I'll come back to this rom. I'd delete this post so as not to waste you guys' time, but it's not letting me... :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] BD6131:
honking, any guesses what happens if we feed it the wrong paramInt2?

I'm tempted to whip up a GUI so we can try a bunch of values: anyone's known good paramInt2, zero, SPC, Samsung NV programming passwords, etc.

Agreed that it's most likely a variable linked to IMEI or ICCID, althogh maybe by a miracle it could be a constant or variable we already know (e.g. MSL).

I think examining code was definitely first place to start, but if we've got willing help to make this a reality, I'd also start a list of data to collect:

- Get several people (with the appropriate server-side carrier permissions) to re-invoke the "UICC unlock" and compare their logs

- Get several people (WITHOUT the server-side carrier permissions) to invoke the "UICC unlock" command (presumably it will fail, but only one way to know for sure) and compare their logs either way

Forgive me if I've not got the process 100% accurate; I don't have an L720 yet, but am looking to buy one soon.

Try flashing a non touch version of CWM in bootloader by forcing a reboot by holding down power, and when the screen goes off hold volume down as well.

Then put a non touch CWM into your working folder. Flash it in fastboot USB by using the command

fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

Then go into recovery by selecting it in the bootloader and use volume keys and power buttons to navigate recovery.

You can download clockworkmod (CWM) from their website (I can't post the link) or by searching the forum. Detailed instructions on how to install CWM can be found on the forum or by searching Google. This is a fairly complex process for those who are not familiar with modding Android. Take your time and search the forum for answers. Once installed, CWM will allow you to mount the sdcard.

Note that this will require you to make heavy modifications to your phone which may brick the device if done incorrectly. Do so at your own risk.

My first issue is that I just want root, that's it. I don't want to unlock the bootloader nor install whatever recovery stuff that it installs. I am just looking for the simplest way to achieve ONLY root access...is there any solution for that?

Also, I just want to leave it as stock ROM and be able to do OTA updates as available. If I root from this method, can I still do that?

And finally, I am on the latest stock software, will root method modify/change that in any way? If so, how?
