Hello guys,
I bought an galaxy s6 edge in USA of Craigslist
And the guy that sold me told me it is locked but he give me a code to unlock
He paid for the code on the site fishblowunlock
So in the next day I back to brazil and tried to unlock the phone with the code
But it don't work...
Have another way to unlock this?
Thank you and sorry about my bad English
not now
Not now my friend, I think that any developer try to do that.
I found a lot information about this, basics T-Mobile put a block for unlock the phone only with his apk.
In the HTC M9 a solution was flash with a ROM and phone ask about the code and put the code buy for Internet same in Sony Z3 but with the G925T its more difficult.
A solution for the T-Mobile galaxy s6 was install a stock ROM for metro PCs but don't exists for galaxy s6 edge.
I try to install a diferents rom with twrp and always its the same, the phone ask for code but the code is not correct.
The code I bought in eBay. In the stock T-Mobile ROM the phone dont ask for code but I put #xxxxx*637*# and the phone ask for code if the phone is with out Sim card the phone accept the code but when put the Sim card nothing happens but if the phone e is with Sim card the code is not accep.
I think the problem its with the baseband, because always when I flash the phone the baseband don't change, its the T-Mobile baseband.
Maybe some developer need any motivation to do that..

if cellunlocker net says that you can unlock t-mobile phone using the canadian firmware did you try the firmware of this topic ? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841), probably cellunlocker is not trolling (i doubt it, why they delete the answers on his own topic ?) and the firmware on downloadandroidfiles is just broke

i also unzipped the TAR file and only flashed the boot and system images , flashed correctly and rebooted asking me for unlock code.. but just like when i flash G925F with twrp , the codes are not successful

Really, I download his file, but Odin Fail, I make 3 comments, but dont post me.. always said cellunlocker its check your post and never post my comments.
Do you believe??,, its a big topic, a lot of people search about this, one solution and don't comments???
cellunlocker omits a few steps, like s6 edge drivers, or debug mode, did you try the flash following that steps too?, can you flash a "custom rom"?, or the problem is always the same, the error message on odin ? no matter what rom do you use ?

i will try when my phone arrives, this happens with all s6 edge of t mobile? or only the newers (i bought a day 1)
if that doesnt work then we need to wait the s6 edge firmware.
btw, it is possible to put the s6 metrocps firmware on the s6 edge t-mobile ?

The plight has been answered! We have a solution! Thread has been locked, as we now have a solution! Please visit @ChazzMatt 's posts in this thread for a full description, and link, to the method.
---
G'day everyone!
Much like @mr turtle droid , I've decided to create this sister thread to keep us all informed of the progress towards Root, TWRP, and ROM's for the CARRIER UNLOCKED LG V30+ variant.
At this point in time (15:50, 21st Feb 2018), LG HAVEN'T placed this model on their Unlock list, on the LG Dev website. The LG Models that ARE there are the H930 and the H930G for the Euro market. I've emailed LG Australia about this, and am still waiting on a response, but doubtful I'll get a helpful one. I've also asked on the LGDeveloper twitter page, and received a stock standard response: "We are sorry that we can't be of much help. If there are any changes to the supported devices, we will let you know via our website".
Not being a dev myself, I don't know if any fastboot commands work or not, so if someone can get us going with potential methods, that'd be sweet.
I have a link for the Firmware *.kdz downloads, for what it's worth. Link is found HERE.
If anyone has any ideas, please share them. The more that we know, the closer we get to unleashing the full potential of this great phone.
Also, if someone could explain why exactly LG doesn't unlock all the different models of their flagship, or at least give an ETA for the unbranded one's, that'd be sweet. Is it because of licences, or patents or something? Or is because it's a Dual SIM model? Curious more than anything.
It just seems nuts to me that the V30+ that I bought from JB Hi-Fi wouldn't be on the unlock list, if it's an unbranded / noncarrier variant.
Once again, this is for the carrier UNLOCKED variant, H930DS.
If the bootloader is unlocked on the H930DS then this thread might be a step in the right direction for route

Hi, reports on there suggest that only one sim is working after using that method.
Seems like flashing back some partitions from another ds model with lgup could be the solution.
I have been tempted to buy this phone only put off by no root.

Is second sim not working at all, or is it possible to use it as a data connection only?
Hi, I have only had mine for 3 days so haven't tried yet
I think as a H930 single sim unlocked bootloader is loaded, you will only see 1 sim.
Dont quote me on that as I am still reading up
Any experts who can answer?
Both SIMs work for H930DS. Just flash unlock bin and TWRP as described in WTF thread. Need to mention that I've had official H930DS Oreo update prior to attempting this.
Hi, well thats the first time I have seen that stated.
There are no specific instructions for the DS.
Are the one's with only 1 sim just flashing a single sim rom and keeping it for the bands or something?
I have V10e-AME-XX and no Oreo update is showing.
So do I
LGUP to convert to open single sim H930
Adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash unlock new_unlock.bin
Install Twrp
Then how to get dual sim rom?

I wouldn't flash single sim rom on a dual sim device if I was you. You need to flash Oreo dual sim firmware and then everything is straight forward. Bootloader unlock process as well as flashing TWRP won't effect any fuctionalty and procedure is simple.

But you had to flash H930 to get bootloader unlock. You seem to be contradicting yourself... please clarify?

Hi, still not quite getting it
Is H930 eu 20d a dual sim rom then?
Otherwise what exactly is "Oreo dual sim firmware"

Yes, that's what I am trying to clarify.
Just a bit paranoid about accidently flashing a singles sim rom as I have had this worry on my M8

Thank you. So you flashed the H930 Oreo KDZ. Just like the instructions say in the WTF thread.
To me, the only way for H939DS users to do this is to flash H9390 and run the command. One India H930DS user says that is what he has done and he has BOTH SIMS. Now you have confirmed it. That's two H930DS users who have bootloader unlocked and rooted, just like I said they could do -- and they both retained dual SIM functionality. Every V30/V30+ can be bootloader unlocked and rooted, except for the T-mobile H932.
Even @crubbish seems to infer that but he contradicted himself -- saying he didn't flash the H930 firmware, which I'm pretty sure HE HAD to -- which is frustrating.
hmm, so I have just re-run LGUPP and device is recognized this time but I get and error 0x8... Please us latest dll LAF protocol version is not match
Do I need to go back down to nougat and them back up again?

No, the H930 variants (which include the HD30DS) do NOT need to downgrade to Nougat.
You just need to figure out how to install and use the LGUP.

@crubbish, I'm sorry but you seem to be contradicting yourself. Please clarify. You either used the WTF instructions or you didn't.
I WROTE the instructions for the WTF thread and they clearly say all H930 variants -- which included the H930DS -- needs to flash the H930 Oreo KDZ to get the fastboot flash commands. So, unless you are saying you somehow managed to enable those commands some other way (and H932 T-mobile users would be all ears for that!), then you did indeed flash the H930 Oreo KDZ, did you not?
Two other H930DS users -- at least one from India -- have used the WTF method, of course flashing the HD30 Oreo KDZ -- and they are bootloader unlocked, have TWRP custom recovery, rooted, and have dual SIM functionality.
Unless you have figured out some other way, THAT is also exactly what you did.

If you've connected the phone to a USB3 port, try a USB2 port instead. That usually works.
Also, if you're not using the cable that came with the phone, try that as well.

No, you need a newer DLL for LGUP which can be found in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/lgup-oreo-dll-file-v30-t3779441
Put it in the C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common (create the "common" folder if it's not present). Start LGUP WITHOUT Uppercut.

Thank you.
Besides trying a different USB port or different cable, also try to enter download mode manually (power off completely, then hold volume up button while plugging in USB cable), THEN open LGUP to make it recognize your phone.
Also, try a different computer if none of those suggestions work.

I've had Oreo OTA flashed on my H930DS after which I've followed WTF procedure without flashing any other firmware. Sorry if I wasn't clear on this.
It looks to me that as long as you're on official Oreo firmware you can appy unlock.bin straight away, no need to pre-flash any other firmware. Also someone has reported on losing dual sim functionality after flashing plain H930 firmware, that's why I think it's safer to flash specific dual sim rom for dual sim devices.
I purchased an att gs9+ directly from samsung, after that, I installed the unlocked firmware. Up to this point, I have used an att sim. When I tried to use a tmobile sim recently, I got a message saying "Invalid SIM card inserted - This SIM card is not supported. I was surprised as I thought it was unlocked since I installed the firmware. I then tried to install a version of the ATT firmare thinking I perhaps still needed to unlock it? At any rate, I tried but ODIN gave me the following error: FAIL!(auth).
So, first question is - If I installed unlocked firmware on my att gs9+, is it truly unlocked?
Second question, can I install the att version back again? Or perhaps the tmobile?
Finally - what does the ODIN error mean?
Thanks for taking the time to read,
Ben

SIM unlock is a completely separate thing which you'd need to use an unlocking service for, nothing to do with the firmware
Check the bootloader version your phone is running now, vs the one you're trying to flash, you cannot downgrade the BL
Download mode will show BL:1 or BL:2)
Firmware shows it here
G960FXXU2BRGA
Flash an equal or higher BL

Ok, thanks for the response.
I can see that my bootloader version is 3. I dont see any ATT versions out there for 3 though. Am I correct in thinking that I would need an ATT firmware to even get the sim card unlock prompt? Thats really the issue for me.. I am unable to unlock the device despite trying to reinsert, and running those #XXX*# codes.

Good stuff :good:
Hi All,
I have Samsung S9 Unlocked T-mobile from US and currently in India. Currently i have Oreo Version.
As all know, it doesnt have VOLTE option enabled which is needed for my sim network for voice calls to go through.
Somewhere i read Pie update will have VOLTE option and hence i am trying to update to Pie update.
I downloaded G960USQS6CSGB firmware for T-mobile, but before upating firmware using Odin, i got doubt if it will stick to T Mobile after update. This will make my phone not usable in India.
I tried to check online, but couldnt get direct answer and hence posting in new thread.
Can someone help clarify if it will lock the mobile to T-Mobile or will the phone be still in unlocked state?
Also i see two CSC files in the firmware folder. CSC and HOME_CSC. Which one to use?
If I should update with some other firmware for being unlocked and yet to get PIE update, please point to required firmware name or links.
Also will updating to PIE update will have VOLTE option ? Kindly confirm.
Thanks in Advance.

I downloaded G960USQS6CSGB firmware for T-mobile, but before upating firmware using Odin, i got doubt if it will stick to T Mobile after update. This will make my phone not usable in India.
I tried to check online, but couldnt get direct answer and hence posting in new thread.
Can someone help clarify if it will lock the mobile to T-Mobile or will the phone be still in unlocked state?
Also i see two CSC files in the firmware folder. CSC and HOME_CSC. Which one to use?
If I should update with some other firmware for being unlocked and yet to get PIE update, please point to required firmware name or links.
Also will updating to PIE update will have VOLTE option ? Kindly confirm.
Thanks in Advance.

csc will factory reset your phone, home_csc wont
volte wasnt removed from pie, so that shouldnt be an issue
the firmware version you posted has the 6th bootloader revision, im betting here is a 7th available for your phone, but the 6th version should be fine as well
as far as the unlocked state of the phone goes, it shouldnt re-lock, but im paranoid lol. Have you looked into the U1 versions of the phones firmware? Theyre inherently unlocked firmwares and dont have any of that irritating bloatware **** in them

Thanks youdoofus the inputs. Say by chance if it gets locked, is there a way to unlock the phone again from here?
may be then i will try to load U1 versions otherwise. Thanks alot.

if it has no financial obligation to any carrier and the phone locks to that carrier, then the carrier it locked to would be required to release it. I cant imagine how it would lock to t-mob tho
Factory unlocked phones stay unlocked, no matter what firmware you flash.
Carrier locked phones that were properly unlocked by the carrier (they provide the code to SIM unlock the phone) will stay unlocked, again, no matter what firmware you flash to it - as long as it's compatible. Flashing the wrong firmware may just brick the phone. But, at least it's still SIM unlocked.
Phones that had some kind of software hack installed to trick the phone into thinking it's unlocked will lose the unlock status when you flash a firmware that also wipes the phone. Then it will come back as carrier locked again, because the hack is gone.
That last case is the only case I know of that will "re-lock" a phone. I've never heard of a carrier unlocked phone spontaneously re-locking under any circumstance.
Hi,
Thanks for the details. I tried to flash G960U1UES6CSG4_G960U1OYM6CSG4_XAA firmware. But while loading AP file in ODIN, it gave some error. Couldnt understand what is the error as its in chinese.
Then i loaded G960USQS6CSGB_G960UOYN6CSGB_TMB firmware which i downloaded previously. This got loaded in ODIN without any issues. And i am able to flash to phone. On rebooting, saw that phone moved to Pie version.
But i couldnt find VOLTE option (Enhanced calling) option. Does anyone know which version will enable that option?
Or anyother way to enable that please.
Thanks in advance.

if your Odin error messages are in Chinese, youve obtained a modified version. Itll probably work, but youll get that Chinese stuff whenever it needs to tell you anything. I dont know which versions have volte tbh. Sorry man.

Thanks youdoofus for trying to help. For me atleast it didnt get locked when i moved to Pie. I will try other methods.
I will try to root the phone for enabling volte, but the methods that i tried didnt work.

yeah, sort of. The CSC's on these things are weird. Im starting to believe that these new versions of android are just like windows ISOs where they have all the versions compressed into one file and it uses a directory file to tell the firmware which version to install. Im sure a code writing dev can confirm or deny this thought, but at this point its merely a weak theory

would just want to know by any chance if flashing another rom pr rooting the device will remove the network lock of my carrier?
Thank you
I need a method to unlock the device, tried a lot of paid services already,most of them dont have an unlock code yet for my device and some sent me a wrong unlock code

As far as I'm aware NO it won't remove carrier lock, you'll just have to wait for that to become available......:good:
No it won't work

Hi
I made a stupid mistake with my G988B, its were not working well, so I decided install a stock rom, but downloaded and installed o last version of software from another country (G988BXXS2ATD5, XEF ) whit Security Level Patch of may 1, 20.
After installed new stock rom, my phone ask for Network Unlock Code.
When realized of my mistake, tried reinstall orignal version of firmware (G988BXXU1ATCT, PGU) but nothing work for me. I have tried to flash with Odin, but always, process stop in "flashing vbmeta.img."
I have read a lot tread trying figure out my problem like: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s20/how-to/howto-root-s20-series-upgrade-firmware-t4079353/post82220417#post82220417
There is a way to come back original stock rom and then trying unlock network?
Could this process work in my case without damaging my phone?
Thanks.

Thanks por your answer, but I did it.
It doesnt work.
Samkey is the only way to unlock a Samsung phone other than getting the network unlock code from the network or third party. You must know what you are doing. Google the process. If that doesn't work then there is an issue here that needs further investigation. Also ensure your active csc code is the one that was originally on the phone as well as stock rom. Sam key can be used to change csc as well.
Good luck

Thanks mikey_sk,
My problem is that both the csc code and the stock rom are not the original ones. Therefore I am looking for a guide to help me how to get back to the stock rom.
I have read that the problem is, the security patch that I installed as it is newer than the one I am trying to reinstall. I will keep trying.
I understand that so far there is no way to go back from binary 2 to binary 1.
Any help is appreciated.

Ok,
Thanks.
No more questions.
You can always use the sim slot 2, it is usually not locked.
I suggest you change the csc to a stock one using Sam key. Make sure you enable USB debugging in developer settings otherwise Sam key won't work. After that dowload the most recent stock rom for that device from sammobile and flash in ODIN but DO NOT use HOME_CSC so it can do a full wipe and rebuild the firmware. As an added measure as soon as installed go into recovery and do a full wipe. If network is still locked try unlocking it with samkey

Unfortunately for it, you mentioned only sim1 is blocked and you still can use sim2.
This is not network lock but rather imei blacklist.
The only way to fix this is to pay your telco bills from where you purchased the phone. If it's a used phone, I would get a refund. There is no roms you can use that can fix it as it's blacklisted from the telcos.
There is only 2 reasons it is locked.
1. You didn't pay your installment bills.
2. The phone is reported as stolen.
If you purchased a used phone, get a refund.
