sorry, hspl has nothing to do with sim unlocking. it allows you to install custom roms, which are independent of sim lock. sorry if you were misled.
the only options really are - 1- call tmo and see what they can do or 2- google around and pay for service; i remember some threads about the latter option here.
I think T-Mobile's general policy is that they will give you the unlock code if they have record of you having the phone with their service for more than 90 days. But if I was you, I'd try calling them before paying for an unlock code. It won't cost you anything to call, even if they say no they can't help you. And I have heard of people buying unlock codes and then they don't work. So if you do end up having to buy a code, I would say be pretty careful who you are buying it from, read reviews, try and find out their reputation, etc.
Personally I called T-Mobile and they sent me the code in a text about an hour after speaking to a CSR on the phone, and they didn't even ask why I needed it. But I had the phone for more than 90 days too.
i did call tmobile. only problem j have never had an account with them. they asked if i knew anybody who had a tmobile account where they could link the phone too and there for give me the unlock code. only problem to that method is that i live in a AT&T dominated area (we have 3G LOL) and i dont know anybody who could have tmobile. only sprint and att /:
So i recently bought a galaxy s4 off A friend who has verizon. I thought it would be easy to unlock since i seen plenty of videos of it. Well none of them worked lol. Now i have a rooted s4 with a tmobile sim card inside that doesnt work . Do you guys know anyway to unlock a verizon galaxy s4 SCH i545. To work with tmobile?

Why don't you read a thread or two in the General forum, come back and tell us what you've learned?
Hint: you can't "unlock" it. There's a bootloader exploit for a limited number of phones with a very specific firmware revision, unless you have a Developer's Edition.

I don't understand how the lack of responses could be "killing you", I mean, seriously?
Hint #1: THE I545 is not sim locked. You insert the T-Mobile SIM, configure the APN, and it'll work.
Hint #2: There's a "Search this forum" box. Type T-Mobile. You'll find the answers you seek by reading those threads.
Its killing me because i really want to use this phone. I tried entering my sim and apn stuff but nothing works.
I even called Tmobile and they said the sim card is fine, it could be Verizon blocking it. Which can be true because the first time I put in my sim, it was working and showed as tmobile but now it doesnt.
So should I flash a rom, would it work if i flash a Tmobile rom?
If I should flash a rom, do you have any for my model?

No, you can't flash a T-Mobile ROM. You really need to read this sticky thread to help understand what's possible.
As I said, there's lots of threads providing directions for getting the i545 running on T-Mobile. You can find them easily.. there is no need for yet another thread about this.
Hm, I have been reading the threads. But all of them had a point where there phone can make calls and what not but just couldn't go on the internet. Mine can't do anything, I don't really see anyone posting anything about it.
My sim card works with everything else, its just this phone which is making me go asjdhasldkhlasdhk
If I'm not mistaken if the phone was paid off properly and is free from a contract then you should be able to walk into VZW and have them carrier unlock it for you. If he didn't pay off the phone then it's technically a phone with a bad esn and the first part of this post needs to be fulfilled.
Is there anyway where I can force Unlock it? He moved so I can't really go to him and ask him anything since he lives in China now.
Is there anyway I can get rid of the bad IMEI or ESN number? I heard flashing it to like HyperDrive can help.
Legality?

I actually believe this is illegal no?
Anyway, look into registering new APNs to your phone, the VZW GS4 SIM is already unlocked across carriers.

NO. No, not right, NO. Wrong. Incorrect. Invalid. Incorrect. Input rejected.
Do I make myself clear?
I'm getting tired of repeating this, but THE SCH-I545 IS NOT SIM LOCKED. It is not locked. It does not need to be unlocked. What you are saying is wrong, incorrect, invalid, unnecessary. You don't need to unlock. You get it always unlocked. You don't need to unlock it. Nobody needs to do anything to unlock it. It's not locked.
Do you get my drift yet?
The Federal Communications Commission required that carriers getting access to the 4G spectrum not lock their phones, so phones like the VZ Galaxy S4 are not SIM locked. Any carrier's SIM will work.
Comments like yours send people down a time-wasting path. It isn't locked. Why spend time unlocking it?

This is what their page say:
When getting your device serviced remotely, please make sure to have a decent computer, stable internet (do not tether off of your phone), and the same quality cable that came with the phone, that plugs your phone into your computer. Our service is 100% guaranteed, however, if the job is unable to be completed due to not meeting the minimum requirements, a refund will not be issued. Thank you
It sounds like the remote in to your PC and use it to unlock the phone. I'd be careful about who do i let to connect to my computer

Sprint has never ever ever been able to unlock any of their Android / Apple (not sure about BB) phones for domestic use. To be fair, the OP didn't specify, and I was assuming that's what they were referring to, because that is what many people are looking for. Even so, you still don't have any clue what YOU are talking about since the phone absolutely does not use an unlock code to unlock. Sprint sends a signal to the phone that performs the international unlock. So do some research before you try to act like you know what you're talking about. I know, because I've actually done it. I also have unlocked many of them manually and have done dozens of hours of research on how the process works. Rookie? Pssh. Hardly.

Reading is fundamental. I specifically was referring to a DOMESTIC unlock. This is a fair assumption, since the OP goes by steve and seems to be excited by the fact that the company is located in Florida. And I don't care who you talked to, they don't give you a code to input. I don't have to login to an account to know this, because like I've said, I've actually sat through the process. More than once. There can't be a pissing contest if you're playing a different game.

correct me if i am wrong, but PIN1/PUK1 unlock code is a password you enter (if enabled) on GSM phone if your SIM is PIN protected. you cannot make any calls if you SIM is locked with PIN and you do not have it. Every SIM has such lock capability (not enabled by default) and also has a PIN associated with it. Also I believe PUK code is needed to unlock SIM if too many invalid attempts have been made to unlock it with the wrong PIN.
Sprint will gladly give you that information, but it will not help you at all with neither domestic nor international calls.
Sprint firmware/modem is designed so it cannot be unlocked with code entered manually, but only OTA or via "hacks" allowing NVRAM changes.
We do this at our shop for some of the other companies around our location.
Of course we only do this for our most trusted friends and partners.
Remote access and having them on the line we can get this done within 10-15 minutes.
Watch the name calling and disrespect. One and only warning before infractions are handed out. You either Respond correctly or not at all.

Have a great day!
PIN1/PUK1 it's if you happen to lock your sim card on accident you would need the the two code to unlock the sim in order to be used again. Well that''s what i understood when i read it

Can someone find an unlock method for Spint S9+?
i will be willing to test on a device either s9 or s9+ sprint i can get to combination and enable the communication to the modem from *#0808# but the communication fails due to not having access tried to read MSL didn't work not supported for this model yet ive been trying to figure out how to communicate through the ril and send AT commands to the phone but haven't made any progress if someone can give any advice on how to proceed would be helpful. I doubt the actual programming method is gonna be released as i cant even find the method to unlock s6 sprint with commands but maybe some dev out there wants to share some information .
I would like to know if there's a way to unlock the Sprint s9+ as well

Dang that sucks. i found another company they have for $200 https://www.imeigurus.com/s9-s9-plus-sprint-remote-usb-app-unlock
Also i learned why boxes have not come out with solution one of the team members at gcprokey said that sprint is using a RSA encrypted system and no one has solution yet.
So if anyone knows what there doing mabye you know what to look for.
J727P/J327P U3 use same encryption so mabye we can unlock same method with NV items but the problem is we cant get msl code with z3x.

If the phone is paid off, you can do it yourself in settings. If a balance is owed on the device, it will not be unlocked.
