R-SIM 9C & 9PRO ...FAILED...TO UNLOCK iPhone 5C locked to SPRINT USA - Page 11 - GSM-Forum

No, afaik the Commcenter patch is only for enabling Personal Hotspot, it has nothing to do with the unlock.
Just found this thread, [Carrier] Sprint Users! READ! You have a UICC SIM card! No domestic US carrier unlock! - MacRumors Forums, Sprint 5c/5s seems like using a more security UICC than in the 5, so I think we must wait for new interposer SIM.

What about using R-sim 9s on Sprint i5s ? Has anyone tried ?

sirlai · 12-30-2013, 12:57

i cannot delete setup.app using i-funbox

I was able to bypass activation screen with the following procedure

1) Jailbreak with Evasi0n
2) Update cydia with all updates available in "Changes" tab
3) Install Activator and SBSettings as described in the below link, (only as described in the below link, because default Activator does not work) This activator may not work for iPhone 5S because of 64bit architecture, I tried on my Sprint iPhone 5c

www dot loymovie dot com/article/how-to-install-sbsetting-on-ios7 dot html

Replace dot in the above URL with dot symbol

4) Check if your activator is working by Swiping from Left to Right on the status bar, it should open a overlay menu as shown in the above link

If your activator is not working, install Mobile Substrate Fix as shown in the below link,

www dot redmondpie dot com/how-to-fix-mobilesubstrate-tweaks-on-ios-7-without-any-side-effects/

5) Put your SIM (with or without RSIM) and the screen goes to activation

6) Now Swipe Right on the Status bar to bring up activator

7) Touch "More" icon in the third row of the activator.

After Step 7, the Activator Screen is bypassed, you are taken to Sprintboard (Desktop with Icons)

After you are in this screen, my phone has carrier signal (Vodafone IN) but here is the bad news

1) Eventhough my phone shows carrier signal and I have bypassed the activation screen, when I try to reach this number from another phone, I still get "The Dialed Number is Switched Off"

2) None of the Icons work except the Phone Icon

3) Not able to make/receive calls or text messages

4) In the Activator Dialog "Processes", I can see "Setup" App running and tried to kill it, it reappears

So effectively, effectively even though I'm in the Springboard (Desktop), it is same as being in the activation screen

thought to share this, so that if there is a cydia tweek or someone has any info to improvise from here, we can crack this to work with calls and 2g at the least

Bro, that's some good new at least! were you able to reach Setting in the springboard? if yes, then try to switch on roaming... Also if it's possible, try to remove setup .app (install afc2add from cydia first, use i-Funbox and go ahead), remember before deleting you must always make a copy of what you delete!

kiddee · 12-31-2013, 05:29

Hey, I can completely delete setup.app, but don't have RSIM to test.
I tested by inserting my carrier sim, the phone says invalid sim, but not requiring activate anymore.
Anyone have RSIM please test the call and sms function and let us know, thanks.

I tried deleting the Setup . app (Using iFile, i moved the Setup . app to trash)

And restarted the phone, the phone no longer asks for activation

I have carrier signal Vodafone India even without using R-SIM Mini,

When I use R-SIM Mini there is no difference, I still get carrier signal
However, I'm not able to make/receive phone calls and send/receive sms
when I try to call this number from another phone, I get "The dialed number is switched off"
So even though the activation screen has been bypassed by deleting the Setup . app and the phone shows signal, the phone has not registered with the network which is equivalent to phone being switched off

Also all the apps and settings works

I left the SIM (without R-SIM) for a while and got a Spam Call from the Network to activate Value Added Services. I received the call and I was able to activate a 3g pack!

Also my USSD code works, I'm able to check my Account Balance using *111#

All this without R-SIM !

Now the only thing left is making/receiving calls, sms, internet !

shy_mkm · 12-31-2013, 06:51

After another 30mins Incoming calls and incoming sms are working !

Strange!

without RSIM? how about now, keep us updated.
Update: I can get the signal, too (without RSIM), but no network name.
In Setting, General, About, I can see my carrier name.

shy_mkm · 12-31-2013, 07:47

Yes, For me as well, I do not see carrier name along with signal dots but I can see the carrier name in settings -> general -> about

Which country-carrier is your SIM ?

Are you also getting incoming calls and incoming sms ?

kiddee · 12-31-2013, 07:53

Vietnam - Viettel
I cannot get incoming call and sms.
In Setting, General, About, Network: it says "Unavailable"

Try dialing 112 and disconnect
After this try any USSD code for checking balance etc., like *111#

After this you will also receive incoming calls and incoming sms
