OK, step-by-step:

First make sure that your x-sim or r-sim works on a brand clean Sprint iphone 5 (insert sim card with x-sim, enter 3101200, accept and restart phone. If (after a minute or two phone diaplays waiting for activation, that is OK. After 3-5 minutes phone should display "Could not activate iphone", clicki Ignore and if you see signall bars and network name - x-sim is OK. Wait for a little while to make sure that your phone has a solid singal. If it fails after a several minutes, that means that your card is not supported (maybe 128k sim card that i've not tested)
OK. Now you have working Sprint iphone but without SMS out and 3g network option. That is OK, because Sprint disables those by default (even on unlocked phones).
1. Now, to jailbreak it. Download evasi0n from www.evasi0n.com and do the JB
2. Open Cydia and wait to configure filesystem. Open it again
3. Install SAM from repo.bingner.com in Cydia\sources (of course, you'll have to tap edit/add to add that source in cydia)
4. Open SAM and enable Hactivate option.
5. Download ifunbox (google is your best friend) and run it
6. Click on raw filesystem and open System, Library, CarrierBundles
6. Delete 3 folders: 310120, Sprint_LTE_(...something...) and Sprint_Virgin(...something...)
7. Now back to raw filesystem and open folder var,Wireless,Library. Search for any file that has extension .plist in that folder and ALL of the subfolders and delete it.
-Now you have iphone that doesn't know from what network it came from
8. Restart iphone
9. Insert plain sim card without any interposter. As if it is a simfree iphone. Activation screen will not popup because you have jailbreak and SAM installed. Go to setting/carrier and enable manually search for network. If there is no Carrier option, just tick on Airplane mode on and off. There should appear Carrier.
10. When your iphone displays networks available, eject sim card and put in x-sim together with your sim card. Make sure that in Setting/General/About it displays Carrier 14.0 |(as if it is a simfree phone)
11. Open SAM, turn off hactivate option, go to Utilities and tick Atemp activation.

Phone should respring and you'll have sms working and 3g (of course turn on Data Roaming option in General/Cellular Data

Important note: DO NOT ACCEPT Carrier update from iphone or itunes, or you'll have again Sprint settings which disables SMS and 3G.
