Got a Globe S6 Dual SIM 64 gig black sapphire. Seems Globe has locked both SIMs to its network. I can't use my Sun network SIM in any of its SIM trays. Any way to unlock this?

Congrats on the new phone. For Smart issued phones both SM1 & Sim 2 can be used for Smart/Sun sim... Perhaps you need to unlock ur phone.
There's an unlock key available for sammy phones online costs 2k pesos. U might want to try that route.

You are very lucky Sir under Smart. It is stupid of Globe to introduce a dual SIM phone only to lock both SIMs on their network. It's fair to lock only one SIM and leave the other SIM unlocked.
Anyone tried rooting the S6? Or flash a custom ROM?
Got mine from globe as well. Tried 2 online unlocking options with no positive results. They all got refunded. I guess we need to wait more. Now my sun cellular is stuck at home.
BTW!
Rooted mine on the second day from the pick-up date last April 18.
Guys, I saw this while browing, http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423
Do you think it can work with our duos version? (Model: SM-G920F/DS via *#1234#)
A samsung store clerk told me that they did not launch the international version to our country, just the duos version, not just sure about the edge version though.
As what I've been told, all non-edge version of the S6 are duos and if there were any international version, they probably are gray units (imported).
Have not tried rooting my S6 since rooting it will disable all future updates.

I think you can flash that but make sure to spare the baseband and kernel as the regular 920F international does not support dual sim. Maybe the closest firmware we can get or copy or flash is the g9200 HK.
Anyhow if u failed or if sim2 fails, you can always flash back to original firmware from sammobile.

Not really concerned about Sim2 though. I think I have to read more about flashing roms, baseband and kernels. ) I'm used to just reading/watching tutorials but not fully understanding what's happening.. Anyway, to my understanding, if I straight up flash that ROM (not keeping the baseband and kernel), it might work with Sim1 only? Also, by flashing, it will automatically trip KNOX even if reflash the stock ROM from sammobile?
Thank you!

Flashing some others official firmware such as from sammobile does not trip knox, flashing unsigned and rooting trips knox. Flashing other regions firmware may disable sim 1&2 or simply sim 2 will not work, its either of the both.
You can go ahead and let me know hahaha so I will follow that route as well.

Sammobile has the openline version of the firmware. Can it work with my device even if it's Globe lock? Or should I need to unlock the device first? I'm not really bothered if my device is locked with globe as I do not intend using it with different carrier
Haha, I don't think I'll flash or even root the device anytime soon as I have yet to see fully stable or even working custom ROM for our version XD
My only concern are the bloatwares that's why I'm up looking for custom ROMs. Nevertheless, current version of TouchWiz is not really that bad..

I have a smart/sun locked s6. If you want to just get rid of Globe pre-installed apps you can change CSC.
Type this on the dialer *#272*your imei# .. By default it is set to GLB since its Globe issued. You can change it to XTC. Then tap install. Once you tap on install your phone will go to download mode and will automatically factoory reset theb it will boot up with a samsung default apps no operator pre installed apps. It will still be locked to Globe though.
Sanmobile FW is for XTC openline and can be flashed to locked phones. W/o issues.

Ok, that's kind of helpful. But, wouldn't it void my Globe/device warranty? Also, how does warranties work with samsung and/or device from carriers? I have only had process one warranty so far and it is with Apple. Their warranty, from my experience, is international and does not require the receipt. You just have to ship the original box of the device, its contents and of course the device itself to their address. I processed it via email with an Apple Specialist something.
Anyway, have you tried flashing the XTC from Sammobile yet?
EDIT:
Also, I'm up for development if anyone wants to create a custom ROM or whatever specifically for the version of our S6. I just need guidance though, as I have no experience in making such but I'm cool with learning. Thank you.
Hi guys, just want to know if we only have the duos version here in the philippines or the single-sim as well?

Hello
Can anyone tell me how to debrand my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
I bought it from Korea and I want it without the settings of their carrier OLLEH.
Do you also mean boot logo?
What does boot logo mean?
I have the Korean Olleh service provider settings and apps and I want to have it like without these configuration
Get whatever firmware you want from Sammobile and debrand away.

sorry you can't debrand it if you wanna stay on official by installing a firmware
but you can try to remove carrier apps by rooting your phone and you also can remove olleh logo from power on screen by updating csc
Yes you can, I did it to mine.
I have official Samsung firmware with no carrier software or settings.
I get updates OTA as they are released.
Which one?

I have the Verizon S7e and iI was able to flash the 935U firmware without any issues. I think as long as it's official, and uses the same CPU it should work. Sorry if I'm wrong about this but maybe someone else can correct me if I am.
Because he uses a korean variant of the S7 Edge, there is no unbranded os for that s7e

Hey there! I have a question. Can i debrand an s7 edge of sprint by installing any g935f firmware? Best regards

Hello, I recently bought the s7 edge edge, after a few hours of use , It boot looped and is not usable, I tried using Odin and flashed the uk official firmware of Samsungs ui, but did not do anything, I'm thinking about flashing the uae firmware since I bought the phone in the uae.

Hong Kong S7 edge today received Nougat 7 update .
you updated yet? how is the performance? my download is slow like hell and seems stopped
I've been trying to download it for over an hour, its been stuck on around 1GB and keeps sticking, Samsung really knows how to extract the urine, its just made me even more determined never to buy a Samsung phone again
I updated via smartswitch
yep just updated.. will see how the performance is over the next day or two... sadly it's only 7.0 and not 7.1
just checked my note 5 n920g and got an update worth 1030.22 MB which mentions OS upgrade- Android 7.0 Nougat [Firmware N920G]

Would this work on the N920I? Willing to give it a go... or bad idea? I know India and Australia (I'm Australia - XSA) shared the N910G with the Note 4 so I'm not sure if the N920I and N920G are different? Would flashing (even if it worked) the N920G on an N920I trip Knox?
N920G is the single sim variant right? I'm on N9208 duos...no update yet in India

They were doing this with marshmallow previously and there's no problem with knox. You end up with the G modem.
Have a read of the posts about it. I assume you would need to flash mm 920g first then update to nougat.
Samsung pay stopped working after factory reset on nougat.
1)So far good battery life with almost constant use on stock nougat 7.0 on SM-N920G india..
2)Maximum 5hrs of SOT with quiet heavy usage like lte data as well as wifi enabled most of the times as per availability ,Music ,Social networking like Facebook,whatsapp,hike,instagram,twitter,pinterest,tumbler and many more i use daily with WQHD display mode instead o FHD which is default as i wanted it to compare with MM
3)Power saver mode is also disabled so just tested it as daily personal usage with Lte Data and Wi-Fi enabled as per availability, Power saver disabled, WQHD display mode with Auto brightness on, Most of the preloaded bloatware disabled as i always prefer clean touchwiz without unnecessary apps
4)Didn't tested heavy graphics game through game mode(As i am not games-lover but a social-freak),performance mode on ,maximum brightness like 70-80%
5)Deep sleep is not tested as i didn't keep it aside to acquire proper deep-sleep but as per moderate battery drain i can say it might been solved as it is for Turkey users

yes same here. it says "samsung pay coming to more devices, stay tuned". not disappointed though coz never planned on using it that much. paytm, credit card and BHIM is good enough for me.
