Hi guys, I'm going to buy a galaxy nexus from USA to Italy. does anyone know how to unlock it to make it work with other SIM? I do not care warranty! thanks guys
If you're buying one for use in Italy don't get the Sprint (toroplus) version as it won't work on a normal GSM carrier.
Make sure you get the GSM version (maguro). And I don't believe any one of those is Sim locked.
While T-Mobile version?

As long as it's GSM it should be fine.

I do believe that the T-Mobile version is the standard GSM model, so it should work without problems

i've read that Galaxy Nexus Gsm has some versions, for country in which is sold.
what are the main differences between G Nexus GSM USA and Italy? network would be the same... have i problem to use an USA G Nexus GSM in italy?
There's no difference in the radios, only in the software support due to regions.

The hardware is the same no matter what GSM model you buy. The firmware and radios can be slightly different depending on where it comes from.
In practical use, they're the exact same. The difference is that Google updates directly the "yakju" and "takju" models directly. Samsung updates the "yakju**" models that come out in different parts of the world. These updates are slower.
But it doesn't matter what firmware you have. You can flash stock Google firmware ("yakju") to any GSM model. It takes a few command line prompts and about 20 minutes to do, then you get the updates directly.
So, if i flash a rom the difference "disappears"?

Something like that. Or you could flash a stock Google build i.e. yakju. In reality there is no real difference between the builds apart from when you're getting the next update.

Yes. The hardware is all 100% (effectively) identical. Any GSM custom ROM or stock Google firmware can be flashed on them.

No difference, and you will not have any problems. A 'google' android 4.0.2 is the same as a 'samsung' android 4.0.4. The difference is that 'google' updates quicker to newer updates, while 'samsung' takes longer. I had a 'samsung' version and just swapped to a 'google.' I haven't installed any custom ROMs...
Thank you for answers, i'm going to buy it in usa and take to italy

Hi mate, is there a method to unlock a simlocked t-mobile Galaxy Nexus ?

Where did you get your gnex from? AFAIK, tmo-us never sold the gnex so it can't be tmo locked.

Hi all,
A family member is giving me a galaxy nexus in the next week. They bought it from and have been using it on the Rogers network. They told me that it only works on rogers.
I was under the understanding that the Galaxy Nexus are not carrier locked, could this be the case?
My family member is not too keen when it comes to cell phones, so I think that the Rogers rep told them something that wasn't true.
Thanks
Heeter
can unlock it

You can unlock it but you wont be able to useit on a cdma network which is bell, wind, virgin......basically has to be a gsm network, which rogers uses.
^
All nexus phones are sold unlocked.
So it will work on all GSM mobile networks (including bell/wind/virgin/Telus/Koodo/mobilicity), only public mobile uses CDMA.
Agreed with the person above.
I own a Galaxy Nexus, which was purchased directly from Rogers. It was always unlocked, and I've used it on Bell and another provider in Singapore.
Bell/Telus/Wind use UMTS (HSPA), so the phone will work fine.
Galaxy Nexus are not sold unlocked every time, mine was locked on SFR (French carrier) and I had to unlock it for the one I'm using.

Awesome, Thanks for all your responses guys,
This was purchased and used on rogers, but when it gets here, I plan on using it on my virgin GSM network, (Which I currently have three SGS3's on it).
Thanks all, again

Hi,
I am talking about carrier locks, not interested in flashing the device.
Thanks

If your gnex is locked by any carrier, you still can unlock it with f*ck docomo

Dear Heeter
I Asked For Flashing Because Yakju I9250 Have International Unbranded Firmware & Have Original Google Logo [ Without Any Carrier ] But
If You Still Unsatisfied Then Root You Phone & Use Any Sim Unlock Application From Playstore & Unlock It

I was searching for the 32gb + lte version and I saw the samsung official site Latin America (where this version is sold) and they reports this version model number as SM-P605M so they added a "M" to European 4G model.
Reading the specs I noticed the European version has the same hardware of the "M" version.
So since I'd like to buy that M model I'd understand if something changes or if I could root it with SM-P605 method or flash SM-P605 roms.
Has someone the M model?

I live in Brazil and bought the 32gb LTE version. Using it for a couple days and noticed occasional lags even with the theoretical faster Snapdragon.
I also own the Note 8 with Android 4.2.2 and it has a far more fluid experience, everything feels snapier. I think the cause of the 10.1 2014 lags are simply poor optimization.
The Note 10.1 2014 seems extremely bloated, and for now I'm stuck with the MJ6 firmware. I don't want to loose warranty because of knox. I'm still figuring out a way to update the firmware to a newer build, but can't find roms compatible with the 605M. Looked for official updates at Sammobile but for this model there are no new builds.
I read somewhere in the forums that newer builds for the 2014 edition are lag free. Also the 2 second wake up lag are gone.

Thanks for your answer. I hope someone could find a way to root this model.
I don't understand why samsung called this model "M" since it seems has the same hardware of European model..

Maybe diferent LTE standards.

Brazil: (700 / 850 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600 MHz)

It should be compatible then. Where did you buy the phone? New , used? Referb? Are you fully sure it's a D855? These phones are sold referbished everywhere with wrong model parts inside.

So he used the phone on the same carrier?
Cause if it only works on 2G that sounds like it's not an actual D855.

Only other thing would be the SIM card.
You have the network settings set to GSM/WCMDA/LTE correct?
