Having trouble with the CDMA workshop, etc part. I need a "donor phone?"


You obviously aren't following what I posted earlier.

Did you see this:

Might as well try it. Note that it says you do NOT need to root the phone to do it.


^^ This is for GSM; For Sprint, it is ##DIAG#

And from there, it gets into CDMA stuff.. to get it to Boost is where I get lost at.

And are you saying I should have CyanogenMod on there now, or is my present rooted CWM ok?

I still can't make calls or text on mine. Wifi internet works, test calls fail..

What part am I missing?

And yes, the ##DIAG# menu differs from GSM...

^^ Has the advice about how to continue to flash the phone stopped?

I thought you were trying to unlock it now, not flash it? You already flashed it and rooted it.... But that doesn't solve your carrier issue.

I am basically at the point of how to get it onto another carrier, yes. It turns on, works on Wifi..

and I met up with the lady I bought it from, her kids sold it to me with a "lock" on it is why I couldnt use it. Some face-recognition thing! Oh well, that is off of it now...

Yeah, original carrier was Sprint, I need to get it onto probably Boost Mobile! I am at the "carrier issue."

Then buy a freakin' unlock code if you can't follow/find the instructions for the "sprint variant" of this phone.

I've used them in the past for codes. They are inexpensive.

I don't see SPH-L710 listed! Only GSM models!

No, but 710 shows up in the list. Try that and see where it gets you

I got this e-mail from them when I messaged them:

Quote:
Hi,

Unfortunately we are unable to unlock Samsung devices from Sprint

Please contact your service provider for further assistance

Sorry for the inconvenience

 

[OVERKILL]

Well, you could always try contacting the woman you bought it from and asking her to contact Sprint for the unlock code
