Hello,

I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy Legend, and I need to flash it to not be a prepaid phone anymore, so I can use it on my postpaid account. Can anyone help?? No one seems to want to help....I just want to unlock it or change the IMEI and ID or name or whatever I need to do to disguise it to be activated.

Just point me in the right direction please!!!!

One of the hacker sites said something like there is no way to unlock a boot locked phone.

You usually call the place it is locked to and have them unlock it. Otherwise you can go online and buy an unlock code.

Not sure if rooted phones will all behave like a stock phone. Might have to put some image on it like CM.

In the US you have a right to unlock some phones but that doesn't mean you will be able to activate it at some place.

Might be just easier to get a used phone that is for your plan choice. Otherwise get a GSM phone and move it by sim.

I called Verizon and asked to activate on my postpaid, and they said I can't until 6 months...And I can't find a custom recovery yet, so I am careful what I do until I can back it up. I rooted it, but I can't back up with out CWM....Everything I find is flashing TO verizon prepaid, not out of, so I don't know where to start and I requested an unlock code from a website, and they said, "just call your carrier." But that doesn't work! lol. Is there a way I can manipulate the code to trick the system or something?

Oh, and I didn't know it was boot locked. I guess I can try to figure that out first to unlock that, and maybe go from there.

I've been looking at the build.prop and the "hidden" service code menu, but I don't want to mess too much with that stuff because I don't know what all of it means, and I don't want to brick it. But there, is nothing online in regards to this....I would've thought this had to have come up at some time, right? I mean, there's gotta be a network lock or some sort of If this, then that, type of event or something that is blocking me from activating it. I just need to know where to look....It's a sick phone, I got it fully rooted and but Xposed on there just need to bypass that Prepay...I was thinking maybe Xposed has something to disguise it.....Anyone....Anyone....Bueller....

This is probably what it says in the contract you signed also. So, doing anything else would be in breach of that contract. I think it's a lawyer you need not technical support.

Dang man, you don't have to get so negative....And no, it's only about the device, I'm not even in a contract anymore. You can activate any phone but the specific PREPAID DEVICE is supposed to be in use for 6 months for some reason. I didn't ask for judgement anyway, just some friendly conversation. This will probably come up in the future, so I would think it would be a good topic for a forum like this because NO ONE seems to know how to fix it. Thanks for taking the time tho, obliged.

What you ask may be illegal. I've no love for the phone networks myself but "rules is rules".
