You have to keep in mind that MANY people bought the Sprint variant not knowing they couldn't simply purchase a "GSM Unlock Code" from an online merchant, due to the nature of Sprint using OMADM for the unlock....and since they are neither a Sprint Customer, nor CAN be a Sprint customer....they won't ever get unlocked by Sprint.

Such was the case for the Moto X: in fact, the majority of the "pledgers" were from outside the U.S.

Once could certainly say "they should have done their research, first", but that's not what this is about. I DO, however, agree that the domestic solution is appealing to many...

I think I've seen someone make that statement before.....I'm very curious how you arrive at this logic? What leads you to believe it will be "easy" once the international solution is found? I would argue that the international unlock *should* be MUCH easier to find, since we have actual internationally-unlocked phones to compare NVDATA with...

Please explain...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Jezielnaf:
Well that's what i say, its not easy from ppl outside the states to just call sprint and get the phone internationally unlocked, I've tried to do it and i couldn't. btw ive seen a lot of ppl saying that there's some kind of software to domestically unlock any phone, honestly im not 100% sure.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Crossvxm:
Yeah I guess your right. I forgot that we here in the US arent the only ones with the problem. Sadly each year we have less and less people in the Sprint forums on any phone. Sprint is getting pretty old in the game. Honestly we would need more support from outside of XDA to get the bounty more on an interest level.

Now i have to find out how to set up a paypal account.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] samwathegreat:
Keep in mind -- most DEVS will accept a donation by other means...Money order / Google Wallet, etc. You can always pledge a bounty, and work out how you will fulfill it later :)

Glad this is showing so much interest already!!!

That would be great news, if true! If you hear anything further about this, let us know the details. :good:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Crossvxm:
Yeah ill have to look into that asap
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] eric46201:
So if this works could I use my phone on H2o? I'm thinking about leaving Spring soon
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Hamspiced:
I added a Indegogo Campaign for the bounty, im willing to add any and all moderators to the campaign. ITs an all -or-nothing campaign meaning that if we dont get it done, all money is refunded.

http://www.indiegogo.com/project/preview/38ab0169
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] samwathegreat:
H2O is an at&t MVNO (GSM), so yes that's exactly what this is for. It would require the domestic unlock since it is a U.S. carrier, though.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] genesiss:
$20 for domestic.... has anyone set up an account for domestic?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] skets:
I pledge $30
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Hamspiced:
Currently no one is focusing on a domestic unlock. Everyone is trying to do the international unlock first so no one has to contact sprint to do so.

Once an international unlock is found/developed/understood/gifted it allows the phone to at least recognize other sims. After the international unlock is performed they can focus on domestic.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] androyds:
I found a perso setting on my sprint s5 and it takes me to this.....

Hope it helps
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] androyds:
it makes me curious becouse I believe you cant unlock the s5 by code do then why would it ask for one
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] MercurioxD:
how did you do that

how did you find this menu?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] androyds:
on the shortcut master lite app go to Secret code explorer then scroll down and you'll find about five options that say perso under the code any of them will take you to it

It looks like this...

Hey [MENTION=5838369]androyds[/MENTION],

Because of this is the bounty thread, some important ppl might miss this . can you please re-post this in unlock thread?

here is the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2743024&page=59

Thanks..
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] ecs87:
Not saying that there 100% isn't a code, but I'm 99.9% sure there's no code. Why am I so sure?

First off the unlock is a single byte flipped in an nv item. It's not a code held in the EFS. Secondly, many if not all users who have requested an unlock code and paid for it never got a working code. These codes are for GSM phones...Sprint phones aren't quite GSM (Although they are GSM capable). Lastly, going along with what I just said, if the Sprint phones had a unlock code, it'd only make sense for the field to pop up when booted up with a SIM.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] MercurioxD:
dontyou wanna to buy the unlocking service to try if the code works?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] ecs87:
It's not going to work...which is the entire point that needs to get across. Even the guys at z3x and Octopus need to learn these things too. The Sprint phones do not have a perso(nalization) code. They are simple two bytes of hexadecimal that when changed to 30 instead of 00 unlock the phone for international use.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Hamspiced:
So the Indegogo campaign for the bounty is about to expire. Since neither of us were able to find the unlock, nor was any goal reached all campaign funds will be refunded.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] jodhaaa:
A Good and bad news.

Anyway, I will pledge the money I promised to someone who unlock the phone.

This is a promise that is not going to expire.

Unlock galaxy s5 Mexico

Hello, I am currently in Mexico, I have the SM-G900P, I'm using with Iusacell CDMA, but for use in GSM needs to be unlocked, and I have done this with a s4 sprint, and works perfectly, try the prosedimiento with the s4 and s5 does not work, I'm on the lookout for the situation
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] kmcphee:
That code is to unlock for you can maybe go to another carrier and use their sim card on there network
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] ecs87:
That's a basic unlock theory. It holds true for most GSM phones. Sprint phones aren't GSM phones but they are GSM capable. Being that they're not GSM phones I'm 99% sure there is no code. The lock is nv based. You need to flip a nv item to "30" for the unlock to process.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] hrvooje:
Ok, I'm as a noob, willing to pay $20 for the international unlock or as you say for fliping a nv item to '30' successful tutorial.

I am a little out of the discussion of this thread but I didn't find any thread open for this model and decided to write here.

I was wondering if the tool that was developed to SIM unlock any Samsung Sprint phone can unlock the Sprint S5 Sport.

This is the link of the thread with the tool that was made public some days ago: http://xdaforums.com/spri...print-t2928250

Can anyone try and confirm that this tool unlocks the Sprint Samsung S5 Sport, because I want to purchase one from eBay but have to be sure it will work.

Also would be very useful to update the tool with all the models that are supported and the unlock tool works.

Thanks in advance!

I doubt the hardware is what locks it. Why? On the Note 3 you're able to go back and forth between Jelly Bean and Kit Kat modems. As soon as you upgrade to Kit Kat (modem) you'll notice that it says invalid SIM with your domestic SIM. Downgrade to JB modem and it won't say it. Proof that it's in the software ;)

There's a thread on downgrading to 4.4.2 for the unlocker to work. U then can upgrade and see if it will work.

Wrong post sorry
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] hellot1M:
I just got this phone a few weeks ago but I have the LG g4. Pretty much every phone I've had in the past had domestic gsm available through custom roms, stock required special attention and codes and just a lot of work. Is that the same case for this phone? All I see people talking about when getting gsm in America working are stock based builds. Usually pure stock with root. I did a lot of searching and nobody (that I could find) has said anything about it working or not working with a rom built from cm or the likes.

My question is. Could I just flash a nonstock rom and simply change the network setting to gsm like most other phones? Or is this phone really that much of a pain.

Edit: also when I think I found a useful thread I later find out they are mostly talking about international unlock. Ive been directed before and the main subject in most the threads are getting it unlocked for using the phone in other countries. If those articles are also about domestic then they aren't clear at all about it lol and most its community are out of country. So the answers aren't reliable.

Modem/baseband only change flashing modem or official firmware, if you use CyanogenMod lollipop your modem won't change.

Is your Knox flag is 0x0 or 0x1 (download mode or Odin mode)
