Hi!
I am facing the same "problem". I bought a brand new HTC One M7 and have this CW field in Settings. As far as I know, this is related to the carrier who imported the phone. I have noticed that, after an Android OS update, the branded apps come back to life, although I have uninstalled them.
I see that in your config you have ro.htc.config.COTA.CWver which I think is related to Carrier OTA updates. The string in CW field means the original ROM which your phone came with. I have also noticed this field doesn't update itself after an OTA update. At least this doesn't impact phone performance, so there should be nothing to worry about.

LG G4 from Aliexpress...things are getting weird and i need your help!

hello!
I really need your help and your thinking about this case, thing is I wanted to buy an affordable G4 (H815) for my wife this christmas, so i went to aliexpress and ordered a new phone (not refurbished)
I was all happy with my purchase and proceeded to root it
first problem:
when I wanted to unlock with official LG solution, it told me that I have a mismatch between the IMEI number and the Device ID number!
I triple checked the numbers, what would it mean?
second problem:
then after a couples of retries , I wanted to upgrade to marshmallow, it went alright until at reboot I had this message:
"current version is not avaiable for user. Can't find matched cust for NT-code mcc/mnc[FFFFFF],subset[11]"
a quick google session indicates that the motherboard isn't from the international version, am I right?
what other problems will the phone have? can i still use it or is it just an anoying message?
I read that i could change the region, but i have to have the phone rooted for that, but can't unlock the phone...
last problem, when i opened the phone i saw a lstrange little sticker wrote in chinese(see attach)
what is it doing there if it's a brand new phone?
I really need your advice, do i keep it? will it work well?
can i fix it?
otherwise I will send it back!
thanks a lot

"Unlock gone"

Hi guys
Have any of you suffered from this?
I got my TMO S6 edge unlocked bought it from a 3rd party about 2 years ago, been working with different companies here in Mexico without any problems, never had any problems with not accepting different cards.
Last night, phone still Ok, but on this morning i wake up and phone has shut-off, and after power on it, now it not longer unlocked, its not accepting any of my sim card from different companies across Mexico, it says "Network locked SIM card inserted"
And getting this screen everytime i reboot

I try with device unlock and it fails with this
I dont have any TMO card
I checked my IMEI on TMO database, it shows status OK
checked also on Mexican organism for it, and it also shows status OK
So i came to think, something like "unlock is gone"
Has any of you have come across something like this?
Really need to be able to recover my phone line x.x
Thanks a lot in advance for your replies

Those with U1 Samsung unlocked model.

Within your settings do you have an option for "network unlock"? Weird that a U1 has this. Nothing occurs when I press it.

I don't have my N975U1 handy but probably has to do with the hidden phone settings. The N975U and U1 are almost carbon copies...
I just checked on my unit (U1) model and I do not have the network unlock.

Yeah I found it odd that the one samsung usa sold me which is truly unlocked and a U1 model having this option.
this is a tad odd indeed. I also got mine directly from the US Samsung site. FYI, I a running latest Android 12 and I recently factory reset my device. So I am not sure if there is any difference if I were running older/original firmware that came with the phone.
If you are not getting a lot of bloatware installed when you put the carrier SIM in it, then it is probably truly unlcoked. Since if you get carrier branded device like TMo and put in TMo sim, it will install quite a few apps that are not just tmo's app. For the unlocked phone, it only install like couple of tmo apps.

Question How to check whether device is SIM lock or neverlock?

Greetings.
Could you please advise how to check whether I can just insert any of my sim cards or if the device is locked?
I know about this URL https://store.google.com/us/repair
I've tried to post there the IMEI of the phone I wanted to buy, but it looked me the following result:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
I was concerned about "AT&T" string so I haven't bought this device (just don't want to play with soft unlock).
Does it really show the reality of lock status?
Thank you.
Hi. That's only telling you it's the AT&T "variant" of the Pixel 6 Pro - not that the phone is locked. You might have to call AT&T and give them the IMEI, and see if they can tell you if the device has since been carrier unlocked because I *think* they only unlock the carrier after the original person has paid the phone off.
It has definitely happened before where someone bought a phone recently and only then found they couldn't use it with their carrier because it was locked to a different carrier, so it does happen.
If through your efforts, you can't determine 100% that the phone is now carrier unlocked, I wouldn't take the chance. Buy an already unlocked phone straight from Google, or anyone retailer that sells the factory unlocked model.
