Hi guys,

I tried unlocking via SSU.apk but with no luck. I am using this app for SM-G900P (Sprint Galaxy S5) with Android 4.4.4, any suggestions
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] broad_st_bully:
do you think that is the reason it keeps saying "invalid sim card" as well?

or do you think the sim is bad? it's brand new/activated...

also, when I extract the MK5 zip file there's a ".bin" file in there.....shouldn't it be a .tar file?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] bprag:
The most likely reason for invalid sim card (for US) is modem version for Android 4.4.2 and above. non-activated SIM should not matter.

Yes, your are correct. The modem file should be tar.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] broad_st_bully:
downgrade still fails when I flash the MK5...any other ideas?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] bgmg:
This modem file appears to be a .bin file. Will that work in odin? I thought it was supposed to be a .tar file.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] rukin1:
What carrier or prepaid subject supports an unlocked sprint gs5 phone?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] broad_st_bully:
downloaded the same file twice while looking for just the modem file...also got a few MK5 tar's that failed in Odin...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] smoothwizard:
Guys give me a pm I can help you
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] bgmg:
[MENTION=1573711]Viper32[/MENTION] I got clarification that it was supposed to be a .bin file and that odin will accept it, but I noticed you just took the file off the download site. Can you please put it back?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] broad_st_bully:
I can confirm that you can flash a .bin file in Odin...see attatchment below...just tried & it worked!! ha...hope this sim works now....
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] bgmg:
[MENTION=4231262]broad_st_bully[/MENTION] glad it worked and you were able to get your modem downgraded. Good luck and please don't forget to post anything you learn on the 720T thread.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Jahspree:
Can confirm it is working on the sprint note edge. Sim unlocked working on tigo in el salvador. Thank you for this!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] broad_st_bully:
720T *confirmed* unlocked & working on T-Mobile SIM (see images)...

it took a few days (and 27 headaches) but I finally got this thing unlocked & working...text & calls work now just to get the internet working...

anybody having issues downgrading the modem to MK5 here's how I got it working:

1-take the Sprint Sim out & turn off the phone

2-turn on phone in download/Odin mode

3-flash the modem.bin file via Odin & wait until you see the green "pass" in Odin & it reboots

4-turn the phone off & insert new Sim & reboot

5-Add new APN for whichever carrier you plan to use

6-turn on then off "airplane mode" & reboot

your phone should now work....

thos are the steps I took to get my 720T working on T-Mobile...you might have to try a different combo but I can confirm this worked for me...

big big thanks to the devs & everyone who helped out!!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] BrianBerryMobile:

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] jjuliodm:
Data

Where did you fix it in dominican republic?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] broad_st_bully:
are you using the correct APN for whatever carrier/SIM you have in the phone?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] jjuliodm:
The problem is not the apn, there are some G900p that are not getting any data when you put the APN.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] broad_st_bully:
yeah I'm still having trouble with internet but calls & texts work fine...still looking for a fix
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] jjuliodm:
Try this:

1- make a back up.

2- install this app: SPCutility, to get your msl number.

3- ##786# manufacter reset

4- this will delete the ssu.apk and it will unlock your phone.

5- install ssu.apk and unlock it again, put it on GSM mode and restart

i fixed a phone like this but i try to do the same with other one and it didnt work,
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] TechShui:
Seriously? :confused:

This app is only designed for Sprint devices. . . can anyone else confirm this? Surely someone has a T999 lying around.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] bgmg:
Confirmed. Op says "Its been tested to work on all samsung

sprint

phones" and nothing else.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] chepe:
confused

hello,

i am bit confused. after reading some of the first 30 some pages of this thread i couldn't find my answer so.....

i bought a Sprint SGS5 for my sister. it came with android 4.4.2. she's taking it outside the USA and keep it there. The phone is brand new, never activated before. While i can probably activate that phone using my line (i'm also a sprint customer) and then request the unlock code for international use, give it to her, and then swap phones back to my current phone, i went ahead and used this little app (faster than dealing with a carrier's CSR, for real). My questions are:

1) Can the apk file be deleted from phone? (this is a silly question i know, and most likely the answer is yes)

2) once the unlock has been done, can the app be uninstalled?

3) will the device lose its unlock status after , say, updating to a newer version of android or a soft/hard reset?

4) when i run this app for first time i noticed this message on top warning about phones with android 4.1.2 can only be unlocked to be used internationally, so, if i understand correctly, it means this solution can unlock an sprint SGS5 and others to be used with a domestic carrier as long as their version of android is earlier than 4.1.2, am i right?

i would really appreciate if someone can answer these questions, especially # 2 and 3 since my sister is leaving in a few days and to be honest i would still like to contact sprint and get their unlock code for the S5 just in case because if her device relocks, then she would be SOL once she leaves and take that phone with her.

TIA.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] jjuliodm:
1- If you use ##RTN# you can manufacture reset the phone and lost the unlock again, so this is a way to lock it.

2- yes you can uninstalled.

3- nop it wouldnt lost it, just in a manufacture reset.

4- you can use the unlock with any version, i unlocked a 4.4.2 and them update the phone to 4.4.4 and it still working, then im using lollipop and it works too.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] broad_st_bully:
I had my 720T unlocked & hit ##SCRTN# Menu in Galaxy Tools by accident & now it's not unlocked anymore or I can't make any calls....does anyone know how to fix it so I can make calls again?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] bgmg:
In the upper left corner of Galaxy tools, does it say "sim uicc: locked" or "sim uicc: unlocked"? If locked, try tapping the sim uicc unlock button immediately below the messsge.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] broad_st_bully:
yeah it said unlocked...I'm just gonna factory reset & unlock it all over
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] twanhines:
forgive me if this is a dumb question but....

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but after the phone is unlocked on an older modem version, if I was to upgrade the rom, would the phone become locked again? Thank you for your hard work btw!

So then the mega 6.3 l600 should work as well in the us?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] shadowcliffs:
A flash via recovery usually wont update modem. A flash via odin might though.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] playya:
Q- are you just updating ROM only or is it a factory update with the modem also being affected. I think that's the most important thing most ask or need to know.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] ahadbukhari:
I unlocked SM-G900P using version 4.4.2, and then upgraded to new test build and it still works. I also tried CM12 based ROM and it worked.

I flashed stock and the test build lollipop ROM via odin a couple of times and it stills works :)

downgrading modem

Can odin be used to downgrade the modem? thanks again!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] es0tericcha0s:
Not sure which device you are refering to, but typically, yes, Odin is used to downgrade the modem.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] twanhines:
I'm getting a samsung mega friday and was wanting to know if i could downgrade the modem for that device, and then update the firmware to something newer than 4.2 jellybean. But that was the device I was referring to. Thanks!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] es0tericcha0s:
I'm not sure about that particular device, as the Mega that I worked on was already on 4.2.2 and have not gotten one with a newer firmware to test. But on the S4 it's not an issue to use a lower version modem on the 4.4.2 builds and the unlock is performed the same for both devices so a good chance the Mega should be fine to do that with as well.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] awadi88:
confused about process and limitations

Okay ive been going through the thread and cannot find an straight forward answer to this. I have a sprint galaxy s5 and have rolled the modem back to the oldest version of kitkat using odin. Per some of the responses i saw that the ssu.apk would be able to donestically unlock the sim for somestic carriers. I just want to make sure this is correct, because it did not work for me. I am still getting an invalid sim on the status bar.

Any clarification would be appreciated.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] es0tericcha0s:
I've not seen any mention of someone successfully getting the S5 to work domestically anywhere.

Unlocked for Orange RD - No data after unlock fix!!

Hello!

This app unlocked my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900P) and I'm currently using it with Orange in the dominican republic. At first I was able to get voice and texts but no data; I had to do three things:

1. Set the network mode to GSM/UMTS

To do this, go to settings > Network Connections > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode. Check "GSM/UMTS"

2. Enable mobile Data

To do this go to settings > Network Connections > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Check "Mobile Data"

3. Set up the APN

To do this, go to settings > Network Connections > More Networks > Mobile NEtworks > Acces Point Names. Tap the "Add" button ( + ) and fill the following information:

Name: Orange Net

APN: orangenet.com.do

MCC: 370

MNC: 01

APN type: *

And that was it! The harder part was figuring out the "APN Type"... I was just copying the configuration from my old phone a Sony Xperia E1 (I know, it's quite a big upgrade!! :D) , and the value it had was "default". So, here's my 5 cents for the guys in La republica that might be needing a little hand!!

Hola! Esta aplicacion desbloqueo mi Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900P) y lo estoy usando con Orange en Republica Dominicana. Al principio solo tenia voz y sms, nada de datos; luego de mucho puyar pude solucionarlo en 3 pasos:

1. Cambiar el modo de red a GSM/UMTS

Para hacerlo vayan a: settings > Network Connections > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode. Marquen la casilla "GSM/UMTS"

2. Enable mobile Data

Para hacerlo vayan a: settings > Network Connections > More Networks > Mobile Networks > marquen la casilla "Mobile Data"

3. Set up the APN

Para hacerlo vayan a: settings > Network Connections > More Networks > Mobile NEtworks > Acces Point Names. Denle al boton "Add" ( + ) y ponganle la siguiente informacion:

Name: Orange Net

APN: orangenet.com.do

MCC: 370

MNC: 01

APN type: *

Y eso es todo. La parte mas importante para mi fue el APN Type, intente de todo y hasta que no lo cambie nananina. Sucede que estaba copiando la configuracion de mi viejo Xperia E1 (Lo se, es un GRAN cambio :D) y en ese campo tenia "default". En teoria deberia funcionar tanto con "*" como con "default" pero nada, vaya usted a ver. A mi me funciono con "*".

Y nada, esos son mis 5 centavos para cualquiera que tenga algun aprieto para subir la data de ORANGE en RD luego de desbloquearlo.

Unlocking SM-G900P

Ive been working hard to find a resolution for a domestic unlock. I have a TMobile and ATT Straighttalk SIM im testing with. I unlocked a Sprint LG G3 I had to work perfectly on ATT Straighttalk SIM. I KNOW this thing can be unlocked. Lets keep trying guys!

I do have a question though.. Is there a way to master reset the whole service menu to default?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] chepe:
Thanks dude. :good::good:

---------- Post added at 02:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 AM ----------

Just to let people know, this worked perfectly fine with a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5 that we bought brand new and came preloaded with Android 4.4.2 and it's working now internationally with Claro Ecuador. After putting the Claro SIM card in and booting up the phone, we had to change the settings, the phone is setup to use LTE/CDMA so we changed that to GSM/UMTS, if i remember right you have to go to SETTINGS/MORE NETWORKS/ around there, can't recall exactly, the phone is not in my hands anymore. That will give you Voice and SMS, to make the internet (DATA) work, you need to add Claro's APN settings that you can find easily online. MMS is still not working though (not a big deal nowadays).

Now, i am trying to figure out how to stop the Sprint's Hands Free Activation every time we reboot the phone, if anyone who reads this have any idea, please let me know, thanks.

Should just be able to roll back the modem to the earlier updates. You don't need to roll all the way back on the S4s and the Megas unlock the same way.

Downgrade to what? S5 already came with 4.4.2 out of the box.

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

I have seen some reports of that, but I'd guess it's like most other Samsungs where it matters how far back your are downgrading as well as if you are trying with the tar file or the modem bin or Nonhlos bin. I'd be very surprised if it was across the board not possible to downgrade at all. I've not had trouble downgrading modems to unlock the Note 2, Note 3, or either S4. Plus has anyone tried that to see if they can get into the menus needed and then put the regular modem back in? I just don't have anything to test as the one I got to work on was already on the older update.

[MENTION=307784]aalyatim[/MENTION], thanks again for this app. I just unlocked another S5 from Sprint and just send you some money (it's not a lot, but you'll get something every time I unlock one phone with this app.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] es0tericcha0s:
I realize that this is in the S5 forum, but since this is more of a general Samsung app and discussion has occured here about unlocking many different phones, it would help to be more specific to what you are trying to find. If it is the S5, then you can only downgrade to 4.4.2 modems as there are no older ones. This will not soft brick your phone as that seems to only occur on some phones if you downgrade the modem version too far with older modems from older versions of android (and even this is a case by case basis as some phones have no problem with downgrading and some don't - to a degree but too far will soft brick or make it randomly reboot). The phone will stay in GSM unless you change it or the system without making the appropriate readjustments. I find it best to disable the Sprint apps though, specifically the hands free activation software. It's hard to say about 5.0 since it isn't out officially yet so can't predict how it will be have with different modems.
