Sim Unlock Sprint Version - E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All,
Working on finding a good Domestic Sim Unlock method for the Sprint version of the Moto E 2015. I spent 3 hours on the phone with every Sprint dept there is and the official response I received was, "We don't currently have the tool to unlock the device OTA." So, no help there.
I have also attempted the method shown here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-success-sim-unlock-sprint-xt1056-t2825155 by samwathegreat. Figured it was worth a shot, but both NV-Items are read-only, so I got access denied when attempting to write the new values. Anybody else have any luck? I

Did you ever find solution for this? I would like to get the boost mobile version right now since you can get it for free just by buying a monthly plan.

Any news for sprint?

I have had zero luck getting the Sprint version sim unlocked. I was able to get a single sprint rep out of at least 20 to give me the msl, but that's as far as anybody would go. I have been able to unlock the bootloader and root the device, but still sim locked. The Verizon variant seems to be a much nicer player when working with SIM cards.

Off topic, sorry. How did you root and unlock? I have the boost variant, do you think it will work? I'm willing to try lol if you can point me in the direction of the sprint method. Thanks. And sorry for going OT again.

Moto E 2015 LTE XT1526 to work with Reliance CDMA
Anyone knows how we can make the phone work with Reliance CDMA Sim Card. I bought a Virgin Mobile phone from Walmart USA and now came to India trying to make it work on CDMA. Though Virgin gave CDMA LTE network on USA but I unlocked bootloader and installed custom ROM to make it work on GSM network in Germany while I was on way to India and stayed in Germany for a week. All went well with same Moto E working with Lebara GSM in Germany and then after reaching India I inserted my Reliance CDMA card but still now able to make it work. I will put in points what all I have done so far
Sprint has Boost & Virgin both with same ROM. So all mentioned ROM I installed was BOOST as no Stock ROM for virgin is available. Actually BOOST/VIRGIN both are same which I confirmed when I restarted phone and it showed the Virgin pop up software to activate phone.
1. I restored the Phone with Stock 5.1 (Surnia) ROM and inserted my old 2005 Reliance Simcard (manually cut) which showed network and did PRL Update, Profile Update, UICC unlock which went successful. Moto E 2nd Gen LTE manufactured after Feb 2015 have SIM lock which can be easily unlocked internationally when you on travel via UICC unlock method that allows you to use other SIM. Seems my phone is manufactured after that thus it showed all successful.
2. The only problem is when I dial any number the dialer flashes and nothing happens. It only allows *228 and the nice lady voice tell "My phone is already activated". I desperately want to see it working with phone calls.
3. I thought the problem is old 2005 SIM hence I bought new Reliance CDMA SIM (again manual cut as they din had Precut SIM). I again did *228 so this new SIM gets the Phone Number transferred as it was successful. It can also see the 3G symbol with exclamation on Network signal. I again tried the UICC, PRL & Profile Update but all failed with "Socket error" means no signal.
4. I thought latest Android 5.1 has issues hence I downloaded XT1526 Android 5.0.2 stock ROM from FILEFACTORY and tried but still the same dialer flash.
5. Some post suggested to get MSL code and unlock using the ##3282# -> EVDO -> DDTM to turn off which requires MSL/SPC code. I tried all possible ways on Internet and used MSL Reader, Installed SU and used Terminal Emulater to run "getprop ril.MSL" but all returned blank with no MSL code. This made me confirmed that no MSL is there in my phone and this phone is manufactured after Feb 2015 which has Domestic SIM Unlock policy and is open for international travelers.
Can anyone suggest what I can do here to make Reliance CDMA network work with new Moto E 2nd Gen which I bought in Nov 2015.
*#4636*#*# -> Phone Information -> Set Preferred Network Type -> Has All Frequencies available.
In 2005 Sim it showed Network Type: 1xRTT
In 2015 New Sim it shows Network Type: EvDO-rev.A
Please provide me the way out.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but just wondering if there were any new updates on unlocking the Sprint version? I can't seem to find anything anywhere.

I used TWPR flashing to get custome recovery method. Downloaded the latest "XT1526_SURNIA_BOOST_5.1_LPI23.29-18-S.8_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml" stock rom from "filefactory.com/folder/752fdb49361c7f62/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=2" and used the normal method of rooting and unlocking the phone. Unlocking the phone bootloader is a method given on Motorola website.
I used this Mote E from Virgin from USA with Lebara network in Germany (Both GSM) and it worked great. The only problem I am facing is to make the CDMA network work in India (Reliance). Today I an downgrading the ROM to Kitkat so see if that works as few links talks about Kitkat working with Reliance CDMA network in India.

Did you try to flash the stock firmware (5.1+ reteus or reteu)?
Here is the thread about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63265562&postcount=3

The Boost or Sprint Moto E 2015 can be bootloader unlocked via the official Motorola website :
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
The Verizon and AT&T/Cricket brand Moto E 2015 cannot be bootloader unlocked.
GSM works internationally, but to make it work in the US is still a problem at the moment.
If you have a Boost or Sprint XT1526 and are in the US, your best bet is to sign up with
- Boost (standard plans), or
- Ting (low prices but only for low use - no unlimited anything - discount link in my signature), or
- RingPlus (free plans with low quality service).

Moto E 2nd came out one year ago this month sprints unlocking policy says after 1 year you can get it a domestic unlock. Curious about any news about unlocking this?

I actually called them, and according to a rep, if your on sprint prepaid, you have to be with them for a year and 3 months, at least that's how I understood it.

Need Help for Huawei A199

Dear all,
I just purchased a A199 Huawei dual CDMA/GSM phone from Aliexpress. Prior to purchase i had confirmed with seller that phone isn't locked and that i would be able to use my own provider SIM cards.
When I received the phone only the GSM SIM is detected, the CDMA SIM isn't detected despite using the same 800 Mhz frequency band (CDMA 2000). I then tried to download a ROM file from a chinese forum shuajizhijia.com, after the flash my phone kept rebooting itself continuously.
Anybody have any idea how to solve this?
Thanks.

[Q] How to Unlock CDMA Networks for Other Regions in HTC android phone

Well I have HTC One Max 809d which is the only version that have CDMA+GSM Dual Sim Feature . Its imported from China but I am unable to use any CDMA sim in India as it shows no network but I can use GSM sim in India on its second slot . So I think it first slot i.e CDMA may be locked to its original network or region i.e China Telecom and China Region.
I have searched a lot on this and does not found any help but found this is a general problem on all dual sim cdma+gsm mobiles imported from china.
I have already tried various steps like unlocking bootloader, s-off , changing cid but did not receive any success on unlocking cdma network.
I also want to install gapps but there is no custom recovery for this version on one max only availabe is FOR sprint t6_spr , t6_vzw,
and mine is t6_dwg.
So Please help me in this .
Thanks

Well that goes against the CDMA standard. I know india phones well and the dual sim is for dual GSM sims or a CDMA data sim. CDMA is completely different tech then GSM that uses sim cards. If it is locked then you will have to call the Carrier that released the phone and have it unlocked but I think you will find even then you will only get a data sim with CDMA

LG V10 SIM Locked - Not For Sale Unit

Hi All,
I bought a LG V10 T-Mobile thru buy& sell online and didn't realized that it still Network Unlocked. I cannot use it to other Network provider and I am very frustrated already. I already try using several unlocking sites but the codes for my IMEI are always cannot be calculated. I'm not sure if this unit is just a demo and cannot be unlock. I also check my IMEI number to T-Mobile IMEI Checker from their site but unable to verify my number. Done also chatting with one of T Mobile support but they cannot also help me to unlock my phone. They said I need to by a T Mobile SIM Card but it is not possible because I'm from the Philippines. There is also a note engraved to my unit saying "Not for Sale H960A Rev 1.0".
Please help me if there's still a way to unlock the network of my phone.
Thank you.

Need my cdma unlocked Moto E (2nd gen) to work on all GSM networks... Kinda urgent

I'm out of the country and my moto e phone (lollipop 5.1) is unlocked on CDMA networks, and I need to unlock its GSM capabilities. I've read some guides online and on these forums and either they're outdated, or old files don't exist anymore. (there used to be an app called 'Network' that supposedly served this function but is no longer available).
If anyone can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it.!

Will unlocked H830 work on AT&T?

Thinking about the G5 to replace my Moto G (2015). I use the AT&T network via Consumer Cellular. Will the unlocked T-mobile version work on the AT&T network with full LTE support? Will probably install a custom ROM and I understand you can't do that with the AT&T version of the G5. Thanks.
