Managed to get a Sprint s5 G900p "network unlock - enter control key" box to pop up

As far a I knew it was impossible to get this to open on the sprint S5 (g900p). Could be I just never seen it posted. But now what do I do?

Type in your code if you can get it. How did you get it to come up?

This normally comes up when you put in a SIM of a different company than what the phone is locked to. You could get it from the company that locked it, or buy a network unlock code online.

Yes, I realize what the box is but from what I know it isn't supposed to come up on Sprint phones. Speaking of sprint, there are no codes to purchase for Sprint S5 as its unlocked ota. What did I do to get it to pop up: I Flashed MOAR V7 from OG1, then installed GT.APK (idoneapps galaxy tools) and clicked uicc unlock and the network unlock box popped up. The GT.apk is for gaining hotspot and international sim unlock. My phone is already int unlocked but never had box pop up messing with it. I'm curious if I can get a code and fully unlock.
* Also, Im aware that Idoneapps does have a domestic unlock for $35. But wheres the fun in that?

That's strange, cos once unlocked, it remains unlocked even if you changed ROMs. Try checking if that APP is forcing this come up again superficially.

It's remained internationally unlocked with all the poking around and different ROMS. However, my aim is to get a domestic unlock. And the free-er the better

The app probably is forcing it to come up superficially, but is it because of being on MOAR ROM? I've played around with the GT.apk on other ROMS and I personally never seen that box come up. But we all know what that box can (supposed to) do, and that's why I posted it up here on XDA.

So anyway, I decided to put my MSL code in the box and of course it said "unsuccessful". I knew it couldn't be that easy. Also, I was able to bring up the unlock box by using shortcut master as well (it reveals all secret codes on phone) so I guess the network unlock box isn't so elusive after all. I'm still very new to flashing custom roms and especially android and thought I stumbled on to something important but apparently not.
