I´ve followed several different threads, stating to use *#0011# and other variants, but none of them are currently working.
I´ve tried using *#0011#, Menu, Back, Menu, 1 and it just stays there. And trying to use *#27663368378# does nothing whatsoever. I´m really stumped and I´m currently back in Colombia so I need to be able to use this phone ASAP!!!
The phone IS rooted, but it has a stock ROM and I´m running 4.3.
Please help!
Have you tried RegionLockAway app? Outside of that you could try buying a code online.

I have never heard of it. I will try that for sure.
The thing with the online code is that my CC has no money because I withdrew everything since I won´t be needing to use it at all since I won´t be going back to the US.

So, that didn't work. It still requires an online code and unfortunately I'm still unable to get a way to pay online for a code. Any help would be awesome!!!

Most areas have private phone centers that can usually unlock phones for you.

If your phone came with 4.3 already installed from T-Mobile or you took the official ota then you are out of luck as far as downgrading is concerned. Are yu any of tthose? if so, you will have to buy an unlock code from an online unlocker like FastGSM

Long story short, I did the OTA, it didn't work, so I had to Odin flash 4.3 from samsung updates and then root it. Am I in luck?!?!

This is a SIMPLE and faster way to do it. just download, install and unlock!
I had T-mobile send me the unlock code from SAMSUNG, and it wouldn't work. Tried so many times with "Tech Support" and they couldn't do it.
ONE TIME using chainfire's app and Viola! DONE and UNLOCKED!

If your phone is SIM unlocked but region locked, RegionLock Away will unlock your phone. If it is SIM locked in addition to being region locked, RegionLock Away can't do anything for you on its own. There's two different locks in play here. If regular unlock methods didn't work (including paid methods of entering in the code), RegionLock Away should finish getting rid of the lock.

If you're on a custom rom, and you're on 4.3, you do not have access to the service menus. You need to be on a stock Samsung rom and on 4.2.2.
When I'm talking about paid codes, I'm talking about the unlocker services online that require you to tell them your IMEI, not the RegionLock away app.
Ok, so rnd 2 happened last night. I reverted back to 4.2.2 via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628but yet again i cant make calls. So now what can be wrong? Is ot cause on on mk2? I tried to go to md modem but i kept gettin fail in odin...if i make a call the recipient sees it...but nothing..
When i try this method i an get all the way to step 6. When there i do t have an option 3, just 1 option. So wtf??????? Grrrrrrr

I would have thought the stock MDL firmware would have also reverted the modem to MDL. I suggest finding one that does (re-ODIN this one first - I recall a few people said they had to do it twice) , as possibly both the ROM and Modem need to be MDL for the unlock process to work.
OK. You have to be completely stock in order for this to work. I am not sure why you are getting a fail message on Odin. Can you maybe give us a description of how you are doing it? The Sim unlock thread clearly says you have to be completely stock which will be android version 4.22 with MDL. You are back on 4.22 but you still have the mk2 modem. We will have to figure out how to get you completely stock before we can go any further.

Go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=14362 and download the 4.22 file for M919. The link should go directly to it. Follow their instructions and you should be completely stock one you're done. Once your done be sure to test your device and make sure you have sound. If you don't have sound you most likely have a hardware problem so you will have to root again and reset your counter then unroot so you can return your device if you haven't voided your warranty. If you do have sound then go back here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283068 and Sim unlock your phone and profit. Good luck!

Hello dear all,
I bought a few days ago a Samsung Galaxy s6 phone in my country. As I am a bit curious, I noticed later on that the phone have been unlocked before I purchased it with the local seller, as it worked fined with my local SIM Card operator.
I also noted the phone was CDMA, as there was not anywhere I could setup an APN. I used a third party all, APN Configurator (downloaded from the Play Store) to define a custom APN and then I could go the the internet using mobile data. I used the phone for two days without any noticeable issue. Then, one night, I rebooted the phone and it got stuck into a bootloop, with a message displayed in red in the upper left corner of the screen : "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock".
I made some research and I understood FRP lock was a sort of protection related to OEM (which could be deactivated in Developer Options). I did not knew anythting about that. Anyway, as it was useless to me at this point since I could not even start the phone.
However, Download mode and Stock recovery were still available. I downloaded and flashed a stock rom for Sprint (G920PVPU3BOL1) and I flashed it via Odin. It went fine. Now when I boot the phone, It gives me the following message :
"Attention - Power off your device, insert the service provider UICC that came with the device, then power on the device."
I get get past this screen. I only have Wifi-available, but still, I can't go anywhere with that.
I am loocking for a proper way/tutorial to bypass this screen and then unlock the phone from here.
Much thanks in advance.

Follow this guide it will help you unlock on ur carrier...some users have also reported that it also works well in marshmallow...so u can try goodluck

Thanks @jinderation. I already came accross that tutorial. Unfortunately I can't apply it since it requires to install some APKs. I cannot even do that since I am stucked at the activation screen and I can't get past the message I mentionned before:
"Attention - Power off your device, insert the service provider UICC that came with the device, then power on the device."
So, no way to access to the menu, where I can connect the device to a PC and then send an APK and then install it from the device.
So I am looking for a proper way to bypass the activation screen first. Then I can proceed with the tutorial you mentionned.
Take it to sprint.. Have u checked for its imei no. Whether its blacklisted or not...the seller whom u bought from did he make his payments to sprint cuz if he didnt then you are screwed..share the imei number here so i can check
U can also try flashing this firmware its 5.11 BOL1 as well i dont know where u had downloaded the firmware from mine is also unlocked but doesnt show the type of screen that you are mentioning

A massive thanks to you! I actually downloaded an unlocked version of 5.1.1 BOL1 updated from somewhere else, not yours, I flashed it via Odin, and it workied fine. I even rooted it by flashing UniKernel for Sm-920P and its all perfect now.
Except that the Sprint logo shown at startup is a bit annoying, and also the battery life which is quite short....

Well I am not that knowledgeable on the matter.... But I do not know of any way of doing that. Maybe you could try looking for a Marshmallow stock Rom already unlocked ?
no unlocked rom exists for g920p i believe

Bought an S6 recently and it was on 5.1.1. It was already rooted and not showing firmware update option. So we thought we will flash the stock ROM and flashed the SM-G920P 6.0.1 ROM. After this, the phone displays the following message and SIM card is not showing any signal "Power off your device and insert the service provider UICC that came with the device, then power on the device". Any suggestions to fix this issue?

This is my 1st A series device

even if its the same you cant unlock the bl or root as its a usa variant and its not allowed.
the yellow symbol you see is normal.. its an indicator for the charging i believe to indicate slow charging for example

That's because you spelled it wrong bro lol.. it also doesn't do anything unfortunately and reverts after you reboot the device.
You cannot downgrade.. most time even on unlocked bl's downgrading is not allowed.
If you mean you found a lower firmware on same rev that's a different story. You get sha error because you need a modified odin that has the sha checks disabled.. or you can use something like chimera tool

first off, what did you do to brick an expensive phone? Is it because you can't wait for the update to come along that you tried switching different Firmware without back reading some threads beforehand?? i'm not here to offend you or belittle you, in fact we have the same device and variant, HK- SM-G9880 to be precise.

You probably have to read this topic about samkey so just dig this thread and read about the samkey. How it can fix your phone depends on what youll choose otherwise i can still suggest using samsung switch from pc and do an emergency installation but as always find a topic about it first and do the most suitable thing for you.

Hi Folks,
I posted this thread and just wanted to thank everyone who offered advice. I have managed to fix the phone now.
I flashed latest firmware with Odin and included .PIT file i extract from the CSC file.
So pleased to have it back!
Many thanks to @[email protected], this method worked as a charm.
