Hello,
As the title says, How do i unlock my Samsung tab S from Sprint so that i can use it on AT&T or internationally? I've searched all over google and this forum itself but i couldn't find a post that explains how. Is it possible to unlock this device by adb or other methods of unlocking such as editing the hex? Any help is very appreciated!
I'm sorry if this post is in the wrong sub forum or anything. I'm new here.
Best regards.
Possibilities
This is what I found out:
The chip in my Sprint Note 3 and Samsung Tab S 10.5 is similar and when compared the base bands were different. I unlocked my Note 3 using SSU. I tried the same on the Tab S it did say unlock but nothing happened when I installed a Local SIM ( Airtel )
The other thing I would like to point out is that SM-T807V, SM-T807R4 and SM-T807P all use the same chipsets i.e, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, and one has the possibility to choose the GSM/Global-Mode on the SM-T807V( Verizon ) I am not aware of the U.S Cellular (i.e,SM-T807R4) though. If someone could shed some light on that.
So I would assume there are 2 ways to go ahead with this, one would either be to downgrade the baseband to that of the Note 3 then install Android 4.4.2 and then use SSU to unlock ( not to sure on this method just gave it a thought though ) and the other would be to flash the ROM on the SM-T807P with the Stock ROM of the SM-807V but then we are road blocked by the Kernal so possibly we might need to fabricate a new Kernal for this.
This is my first post on xda Hope what I said has helped. Do let me know if anyone has any development on this because I am stuck too.
Several issues with the plan.
You are unlikely to be able to flash the baseband from the Note3. There is no firmware available for the t807v and no source code.
How about the SM-T807R4 ? Can we use that ?

I'd be pretty sure the bootloader would reject it.
But doesn't the SM-T807P have an unlocked bootloader?

It does, but the carrier versions seem to be more picky with what they'll flash.
The only way is to try it. Make a twrp backup then go for it.
why the the Exynos 5420 is so bad compare to the qualcomm snapdragon when it comes to optimization?

Sorry, I am new to all that but i could give it a try. I'll let you know sometime in December the Tab has gone in for a service, the battery seems to have expanded and my top left screen has poped out and then the touch stopped working and my screen went all gibberish.

Hey i had called sprint and all they told me was that this device isn't ment for global use and it only supports CDMA and LTE, and that was a shocker because the verizon one supports global use
Has anyone come up with an unlock for this yet ? I am stuck with a locked device ??
Thats my question guys. If TMO version has BL unlocked, could i install a firmware (rom) from international versions on a TMO?
I come from a HTC and i think everything was so easy. I could install the international version on my AT&T changing the partition lay-out but i dunno if i can do the same on S6 edge, being that TMO version has BL unlocked.
I'm really sorry for this stupid question.
There's already a thread on this, and the answer is yes, but not without a lot of work from an experienced developer.

Hi Folks
I have the T837T from T-Mobile. My Question is if it is possible to flash a firmware from the T835?
Also it has a Simlock, anyone knows where to unlock the device?
regards

This will sound stupid but do yourself a favor and sell it on ebay while used ones are still fetching good money and then buy an international korean model, no sim lock plus 6gb ram. I almost bought the tmobile one til i found out about the korean version.
So hello guys! I just bought a used Galaxy S9 after almost 3 years with my iPhone 7. I'm so happy to be back with Android since my phone before iP7 was the Galaxy S5. But unfortunately it was locked to a carrier in the Philippines (cause I'm from here so it's Globe locked). I've done some rooting and stuff with my S5 before and flashing firmware so doing this again might need some familiarizing.
I've done some slight research and somehow I didn't find any, or maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. There were different versions of the G960 but the one I easily familiarized with was the U and U1 which were the locked and unlocked versions...
Is it possible to unlock my phone by flashing a firmware? My model number is SM-G960F btw... thanks guys!

do not flash the U1 firmware on a G960F device! Teh F devices have the Exynos processor and the U versions have the snapdragon and are therefore incompatible regarding firmwares. The G960F is the international unlocked version. Go into the settings and factory reset it from within the operating system, download the latest G960F using the frija or samfirm tool with the modified Odin for your desired cell provider. Standard Odin will likely give you errors
I recently just bought a S20 Ultra that has a unlockable bootloader. A little while back, I had a Galaxy S9 that I could completely convert the entire device to U1. Is that even possible with this device ? To fully convert the CSC and bootloader ect, to a US model ?

That was then. Each model is specific to a region and can not be flash with software from another region. I.E you cannot flash G9880 with firmware from G988U or G988U1 or the other way around.
What exactly changed from the S9 to the S20 that made that impossible ?

Any luck? I just got one in Canada and it only has 3g ad 4g so I was hoping I could flash a csc file.
So I attempted to edit the band config using QPST and QXDM, but I'm very unfamiliar with both programs and how to actually read and write information to the modem using those programs. Definitely not for the average user. Back in the days when devices had ESN numbers, I used to flash software using QPST and QXDM but there is a lot that has changed with those programs, and I wouldn't even know how to do that stuff today. If anyone has any knowledge about those two programs that can help me unlock all the US 5G bands for AT&T and Verizon that would extremely helpful.
