Rebooted the PC and problem solved, had to set the *#9090# UART configuration tho....Well, now my problem is that it doesn't wants to connect to my network, but it's listed and the "Invalid SIM Card message" is gone at least. Anyway thanks for the help!

Very Cool...

... can't wait to be able to utilize locally. Thanks to everyone that took the time to figure this out for the rest of us. I just finished unlocking my Sprint SGS4 in Port of Los Angeles, Ca and although I don't have an ATT/TMO SIM card handy at 2:30am to double check it, everything went smoothly. The switching modems back & forth, even my ICCID has changed. So I'm confident that once one of you genius' figures out the next step, I'll be good to go. But even without a fix for the ATT/TMO SIMs available yet, I somehow just feel better with my phone unlocked ;) Thanks again to everyone that contributed. Ms. Samsprung.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] AlpineMan:
If anyone is going overseas you will need to modify your APN settings to get data and MMS to work. These APN settings came from the International version of the Note 2. I modified them to include APN settings for Sprint and Verizon. So these settings will work for Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and a whole bunch of International GSM providers. I've tried these settings on a Verizon Note 2, Sprint Note 2, Verizon GS4, and Sprint GS4.

Have a look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30536253&postcount=2 You will also need to replace your APN config settings to put in the GSM carrier's Internet and MMS settings. Follow (method 1) the MMS fix thread mentioned above, but instead of using the APN config files in that thread, use the appropriate one below:

Sprint & International APN Settings - https://www.box.com/s/e883o8z5b86tclogb2rs

Boost & International APN Settings - https://www.box.com/s/28ucwnjdi2rb3ptfga9h

Virgin Mobile & International APN Settings - https://www.box.com/s/k6shgkx6039cwu6cavp9

These XML files already include a bunch of overseas GSM providers. View it to make sure your GSM provider's APN settings are already there. If not, simply edit the file using a text editor like Notepad or Wordpad. You only need to do this once. You don't even have to put back your original APN settings file since the XML's contain Sprint/Verizon/Boost/Virgin Mobile and international APN settings.

did you do anything else besides the normal unlock?

What about R970C?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jamimr:
Hi. I change a lot of setting after the international unlock in the cdma and umts section
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
What did you change I'm really looking forward to trying my net 10 sim when it comes. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jamimr:
Is there a way to backup all the settings that I changed???

Is there is way please let me know and I will upload the
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
Not that I know of can you take screen shots of what you changed and I recommend PM ing [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] he should be able to help you back up the settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] autoprime:
if you know what you changed.. can you reverse the changes.. then 1 by 1 list each setting you change... that should cover it.

also, what area of the country are you located?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jamimr:
if I take sceen shots it will take to much time

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

Area code 787
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] autoprime:
so puerto rico?

maybe thats why it works for you. have you tried any other gsm sims besides net10?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jamimr:
This are the setting from sim info apk

SIM state: NETWORK LOCKED

SIM country ISO: us

SIM operator code: 310410

SIM operator name: Sprint

SIM IMSI: 310410580405525

Voice mail text ID: Voicemail

Network country ISO: us

Network operator code: 310410

Network operator name: HOME

Network type: HSPA

SIM Card (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsmdev.simcard)

The trick is flash the phone with factory MDC rom and ineer5 the simcard of net 10 let the phone active in the sprint network and them change in the cdma section to only gsm and wcdma. Then apply the international unlock from the post after that you will get signal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] autoprime:
hmm doesnt seem to work.

I did a 786 reset so i would not be activated.

then i used odin to flash fulll stock MDC.

stuck net10 sim in.

booted up..

connected to wifi and let the phone OTA activate on Sprint.

went into mobile network settings and set phone to gsm/umts. rebooted phone... still no signal.

ran the international unlock tool... phone rebooted.. no more sim error.

still no signal.

how did you get into the service menu where you took a screenshot? *#0011# ? if so.. where did you go from there? is using service menu different then switching to gsm/umts in the mobile network settings?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
I was playing around in the hidden menu *#0011# and I got tmobile us working! But AT&T had issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] autoprime:
what did u hit/change?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
Dial *#27663368378# then umts then debug screen then phone control then simulation then press on SW Watchdog and HW Watchdog 6 times each reboot then it should work note make sure the sim card is in side while you are performing the steps I only got tmobile working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
Here are some screen shoots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
Some more.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
Sorry here are the rest of the screen shoots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] autoprime:
ok.. so i can get to the simulation menu... i hit the watchdogs 6 times each... nothing happens... do you see something happen after 6 times each?

where do you set gsm/wcdma mode? or does it go to GSM all by itself after hitting the watchdog options and rebooting?

do you remember changing anything else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
You set it to gsm/umts in settings before starting the process then after hitting the watch dogs immediately reboot you won't see a warning or indication make sure you have the domestic sim of choice in before you start the process. I tested it on tmobile.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] autoprime:
hmm.. not doing anything for me. press each 6 times.. reboot... nothing. after reboot i still have no signal. do u have to search for gsm networks.. or signal pops up right after reboot?

is your tmobile sim active? if so.. was it activated before putting it into the sprint gs4? My tmo sim isnt activated... tho in other phones it gets a signal despite not being activated... just cant make any calls etc. wonder if the sim needs to be activated before being put in the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jamimr:
To set gsm wcdma only. Enter to cdma menu and foolw the screen shots
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
I think it does mine was my unactivated att sim wasn't working.

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

What else did you do after that to get it working on net 10?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jamimr:
I change the hspa setting to hspa + rel 8 and set the apn for net10. Im getting 7mb of download speed.

The only issue is that when I recieve a call in the call id is with + sign at the begin and when I try to call back with the plus sign the call didnt go thru. Is a way to force remove the plus sign for the call id?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
Manualy write the number on the dial pad and the plus shouldn't come back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jamimr:
Thanks. This is a work around because I need to do it to every number I want to call back. Im looking for a way to complete remove the plus sign.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
No problem hope you find a permanent solution.

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

@autoprime I did change some othet stuff I just remembered will post the screen shoots in a secound after changing to these settings then to the tapping on the watchdogs then reboot make sure the tmobile sim is in the phone during the whole process.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
Here are the screen shots. Follow the screen shoots then do tapping on the watchdogs 6 times then reboot make sure the tmobile sim is in during the process.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dhaval1:
I tried what you did to get t-mobile or at&t sims working on this phone, but i cant get it to work :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
Do the international unlock first then do that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dhaval1:
Let me do a full rest and flash stock, and try again. Thanks man.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
No problem it works on any touchwiz rom I'm running sacs right now.

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------

I've got another instruction go into the umts menu then debug screen then phone control then simulation and tap on SW watchdog 6 times then HW watchdog 6 times then immediately reboot make sure your sim is in during all process es and the phone is set to gsm/umts.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dhaval1:
Nope, it still doesnt work :/, Are you sure there were not anymore steps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
Yes I'm sure it worked for me and auto prime only with a tmobile sim att didn't work for some wired reason.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dhaval1:
did you activate through sprint, because i dont have sprint service. Could that be my problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
Yes I'm activated on sprint Yes that could be it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dhaval1:
Thanks for the help, but i guess im see if i could switch for a Verizon or Att phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] h34d_hunt3r:
its worked with me. I downgrade to MDC (full firmware) rooted and used the s4flasher to unlock.

I edited bulid.prop to add APN config.

Just the MMI error is shown for service numbers (like *222), but I add a plus signal after the dialed number (*222+).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Febby:
You were able to successfully use a usa based SIM card?:) I'll be trying it on my sprint s4 soon then. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] krazy_smokezalot:
What is the s4flasher... got a link? Also was your phone already activated on sprint in other words your S4 currently is active on sprint!??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hazedabeast:
when i flash any rom would i still get service? since isnt the rom built as cdma?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XanoZuke:
I flashed a Sprint S4 ROM and got service right away without problems. So I guess it is safe to flash another ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] clip3009:
Just using the mod from the first post I was able to (ONLY) recieve incoming calls and text messages on t-mobile. I can recieve the incoming but on my status bar it still shows no signal. Weird I know. All we need to do is find a way that we can unlock the domestic gsm networks because it obviously is usa gsm capable
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
Add a apn with a app like apn backup restore or apn manager. Can you please see if att works with the method I only had luck with tmobile.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] clip3009:
Same thing with att no network i tried with apn manager pro and titanium backup. It is something that is coded into the software that blocks usa gsm. I can confirm that I am recieving calls and text mesages.

LTE settings on Sprint micro sim?

I had my SPH-L720 unlocked over the air by calling sprint.

(I heard a rumor that I need to keep the sprint sim in my phone while in the US if I want to use LTE)

I can't verify this since there is no LTE coverage where I live.

Is there any truth to the above rumor? Is there any reson to hang on to the sprint sim card?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] McLelle:
This what sprint told me to do..

Go to SETTINGS > SYSTEM ACTIVATION > UICC UNLOCK.

*

Once that process is complete.*

*

Go to SETTINGS > MORE TAB > SYSTEM UPDATE > UPDATE PROFILE

*

Your device will now be able to accept 3rd party SIM cards.

*

In order to get the full benefit from your phone while abroad.

*

Go to SETTINGS > MORE NETWORKS > ROAMING > ROAMING NETWORK > SELECT AUTOMATIC

*

After that.

*

Go to SETTINGS > MORE NETWORKS > ROAMING > ROAMING SETTINGS > CHECK THE BOX NEXT TO GSM DATA.

*

*

If you have any other questions, please reply to this email.

*

Thanks!

I dont have any international sim ..so I cant test. .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] GhostSonic:
It's not a rumor, it's a fact. The Sprint card is required for LTE and for roaming on eligible international GSM carriers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nordicflyer:
Sprint sent the same email to me,

Now after I come back to the US can I simply swap back to the Sprint sim for my LTE to work or do I need to do "update profile" again?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pvinodnayak:
Did you change any settings, because I changed to RUIM Only and tried to use a Indian CdMa SIM, I don't get Signal, just a circle with line across.

Where are you at? Around chicago we never see such 3g speeds with sprint. Usually in the 100-300 kbps range.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] clip3009:
I was surprised honestly. I usually average around 200-600 kbps. Maybe I was connected to a better tower? Either way H+ gsm is way quicker than cdma. Ill take it:cool:

[MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION], were you able to get your Sprint S4 working with Tmobile and/or AT&T? The instructions a couple of pages back weren't clear... Was wondering if you can update the original post with instructions that worked for you.

Thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] joeminati:
Yes. I followed the exact procedure and still no dice.

Is the phone supposed to not have service or be activated on sprint?

On MDC radio and went to diag mode and used the unlock app as instructioned. Did the process with the sprint sim and the net10 sim, gsm/utms, lte/cdma, cdma only. Arggg. :-\
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Andr3s:
hello, first put the phone in DM + Modem + ADB, you can do this by dialing * # 0808 # without the MSL.

Then dial * # 9090 # and choose the option Over UART and then try to use the s4 flasher program, and then install HiAPN to configure the APN, you must have a sim card inserted.

I want to unlock a gs4 from sprint to use on claro from puerto rico. does this method work claro is gsm like att and works almost alike? Just want to know before i buy a 400 dollar phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XanoZuke:
Well, this method worked on my Sprint S4 and it's able to connect to Claro Dominicana and Orange Dominicana. I assume it should work on Claro PR, but first confirm if they are a GSM Network and on which bands do they work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] spydc:
Based on the findings of this method, do you think there will ever be a way to unlock domestic GSM?

How did you get it to work with tmobile? I thought this was only an international unlock method.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] AlpineMan:
A few pages back, a couple or so users mentioned they were able to unlock for domestic SIM. Looks like [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] was also able to unlock, too. The method isn't clear to me however. I'm hoping [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] updates the OP to add an easy to follow method for unlocking domestically.

The process is a super PITA. I just changed the settings based on the *#0011# screenshots several posts back and changed some other settings. I couldn't get it to work reliably. It was only connecting to edge.. But it is possible to unlock domestically if someone with advanced knowledge understands the proper settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pvinodnayak:
Add APN of AT&T, you will get H+.

DOWNLOAD TELINFO from playstore and use it to switch between GSM/CDMA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nicotheandroidguy:
No it's a mnc lock it worked on tmobile though. But when I did a ##72786# reset to improve Sprint service the domestic unlock stopped working.
