[Q] New to Note 8, can I unlock it? - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

So I would love to get the LTE note 8. I was wondering if I drive across the border to Canada and buy a Rogers or Telus does it come unlocked, or can I unlock it myself? I know in the past it just took an EMI code generator but I can't find anything about it. So are they all unlocked?
Cheers

You would have to either buy the unlock code if its available somewhere and put in lets say an AT&T sim card in your phone and enter the unlock code or wait for XDA Dev's to come up with a work around.
Benefits of having the phone sim unlocked are that it can be used by any service like AT&T or other GSM svcs.
How much you want for it ??
I was actually thinking of doing this myself. Unless the ATT version come out soon, and isnt that stupid maroon color I will probably try and get the T-mobile version and unlock it.
The T-Mobile version does not have AT&T's 3G bands! If you do not care for 3G, why not buy the European version which looks better?

[Q] Unlocking S3 T999

Hello folks,
My uncle brings me a t-mobile Galaxy S3 t999 with android 4.3 (t999uvuenc2) phone from USA to Iran. BUT as you guess its locked to t-mobile sims. So the question is, how to unlock it to use sim cards available in iran?
I've already tried some methods, like *#197328640# and no success gained! there is no option as "[4] NV INITIALIZZ"
What is the easiest and cheapest way to unlock it?
Can anyone share his knowledge with me or point to the tutorial if available? Thanks...
Youll probably have to buy an unlock code online.

Unlocking AT&T S4 Mini?

Hi everyone, I just bought a Samsung S4 mini for AT&T and I want to unlock it. ATT refuses to help me because I am a second hand owner and I have to contact the original owner of the device. I don't get why because the phone has a clean IMEI and is not lost or stolen and there was no remaining balance.
Is there anyway to unlock it without ATT? I don't want to use one of those unlocking websites because they're very expensive. I was trying to unlock it by getting into service mode from the dialer but I guess ATT removed service mode because I can't get into it. Can anyone help me with this?
Anybody? I know a lot of people have this phone, someone's got to be able to unlock it
ATT has the code

It depends on the plan you get from T-Mobile. There is are two things you need to do before trying to unlock it. Once you get your phone check the following:
1. Check your T-Mobile folders if there is the Device Unlock App installed (by default it should be installed on your phone).
2. Check your phone's IMEI in the T-Mobile database by using their service here: https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx
If your phones have the app and are not blocked it means that they are eligible, so you should be able to unlock them and even use a service like here: https://www.unlockunit.com/unlock-samsung-galaxy-s9-062472
hi, what is the difference between SM-G9650, SM-G965S, SM-G965K, SM-G965L, SM-G9658, SM-G9659, SM-G965U, SM-G965W, SM-G965P, SM-G965T, SM-G965V, SM-G965A, SM-G9600, SM-G960S, SM-G960K, SM-G960L, SM-G9608, SM-G9609, SM-G960U, SM-G960W, SM-G960P, SM-G960T, SM-G960V, SM-G960A, SM-G965F, SM-G960F, SM-G965FD, SM-G960FD, SM-G965N, SM-G960N, SM-G960R, SM-G960R4, SM-G960R6, SM-G960R7, SM-G960T1, SM-G960W8, SM-G965AZ, SM-G965D, SM-G965J, SM-G965L, SM-G965K, SM-G965W8 for sim unlocking ? which one is easier to unlock?
As a policy, the device can be unlocked with the T-Mobile Device Unlock app 40 days after you activate the device for the first time and if the device is paid in full. To activate the device, the SIM card must be inserted into the phone and be active in the device for 72 hours for it to register in T-Mobile's system.
If the device is not paid in full or if you do not want to wait the full 40 days, you can pay for the device to be unlocked remotely through Android SIM Unlock or similar websites. http://www.androidsimunlock.com/phone-unlocking-service/tmobile-device-unlock-app-official-unlock/
Just make sure you're choosing the Device Unlock service since a standard SIM unlock service will not work since you are not able to insert a SIM unlock code into the phone.

Same.
What is the proper procedure to unlock an att s9 to use with another carrier?
The process is basically the same as any other smartphone. Buy an unlock code (this should work for you http://www.androidsimunlock.com/unlock-phone/samsung/galaxy-s9/), insert a SIM card from another service provider, this will prompt the SIM unlock screen, enter the code your purchased and the phone will be unlocked.
wait for few days. some developer will develop customer rome for samsung galaxy s9 then root your mobile and flash it and you mobile will be unlocked. s8 custom rom are available.
SamKey.Info supported directly unlock via usb cable !

T-Mobile S9+
So I purchased this phone from T-Mobile, and tried to switch to sprint. I had it unlocked but they still couldn't pry the phone. It seemed to have only unlocked it to AT&T. Has anyone else home through this or know how to fix this issue?
You can get any S9 or S9+ variant unlocked through Ebay including Sprint:

Also can do Bad IMEI devices also. Look through items for other carriers. 100%guarantee.

Be very careful that it has a clean IMEI. If it's a stolen phone then you have a nice expensive paperweight.
You really want someone to do a search for you?

If your buy your Samsung galaxy S9 or S9 plus from t-mobile and want to use at&t after unlocking, then you have to use the t-mobile device unlock app to unlock your phone. This is the only option to unlock your t-mobile Samsung S9 or S9+. Only phones purchased from other than t-mobile or metropcs usa can be unlocked using unlock code.
You need open the t-mobile device unlock app and select the permanent unlock option to proceed. you will get unlock successful message and it is unlocked. if you are getting the message "Unlock Failed: This mobile wireless device is not eligible for unlock. For Device Unlock eligibility details, please go online or contact Customer Care." then you have to submit your request for unlocking to any third party unlocking service.
You can can use the below links to submit your request to unlock your Samsung galaxy S9 or S9+ through t-mobile device unlock app
unlock samsung galaxy s9
unlock samsung galaxu s9+
https://www.samsungsimunlock.com/sam...y-s9.htm#model service didn't work for t-mobile.. got the successful unlock message but didn't work with at&t sim.. waste of $13

Doubt that you will get very far with a Blacklisted IMEI...
Do you know why it's Blacklisted?

Galaxy S9 Locked to Carrier

I bought a used Galaxy S9 off Craigslist that was locked to AT&T with hopes I could unlock the phone and switch over to my carrier. In the process, I found out that the person who owned it before was STILL paying it off. Contacting AT&T gave no results, so I'm hoping someone with the smarts on here may know.
After putting in the SIM I ordered, I was prompted an Enter Network Unlock Code screen. I guessed easy numbers, but none worked. Does anyone know what I can do?
It's an SM-G960U running Android 9.0
I'm completely familiar with rooting devices, so if that's what it takes to get the unlock code it's no issue.
