Hello Guys, NEWBIE HERE<NEED HELP WITH ROMS AND CARRIER UNLOCK OVERSEAS FOR THE 350T>
So, heres the deal, I'm currently abroad, so I've got no idea of, if I can flash the Global Unlocked version of the Stock UNLOCKED rom for this variant of the GRAND PRIME.
Since it is the tmobile variant I did had my doubts when buying the phone, but I got it Dirt Cheap, either way i'm stranding of path, tried to unlock with preinstalled tmobile app, checked the imei on the tmobile - us database to see if that was the problem, not reported lost or stolen anywhere, so I figured, what if removing the preloaded apps that interfere with region lock of sim card reader locking, might help me?
Therefore, my question PLEASE HELP ME lol, its the only phone I have on me and need to use it here.
Regards.

Also this is not the I337 section. I will move you to the correct device as well
If you put a att sim card it will just work so no need for unlocking, but if you put a Rogers sim card then the the phone will ask for a unlock code

I need help to unlock sim carrier on i337M
Hey maybe you could help. I tried everything. I downlaod the Odin, CF file and root the phone. also try to figure out and unlock my samsung S4, but it still locked and ask for code. I also got the REgionLock away app and it does'nt work. Well it does but at the end my phone still locked by the carrier : BELL Mobility
My mom gave me this phone as a gift and I want to use it with my actual carrier ''FIDO''... I do not want to paid 50$ for that..
Is there any way that i could get a code or unlock the pĥone?
What rom is on the bell phone? Did you downgrade the modem before running regionlockaway?
what is a rom?
What do you mean by rom and downgrading the phone? I got the lollipop version 5. 1. 0.
Model SGH i337m. I tried most everthing including dialing codes (*#0011* follow step by step).. but its not working. Each time i put the sim card from my carrier (Fido) it asked for a code to unlock the phone. Im not an expert in that kind of stuff either but i tried to get my phone unlock whithout paying if i can. Could you helped me? Did you need my IEMI number?

Going away, wanted to unlock by Rogers Samsung S5 so I can use a local sim card. Bought an unlock code on Ebay, but it was not accepted. Now I'm doing some reading, says that phones with customer ROMS sometimes have trouble with legitimate unlock codes.
So if it's true, I think I need to go back to stock and try. But I wanted to see if anyone had any experience doing this, if they think that customer ROM is the issue. Also do I have to just go to stock, or also stock recovery, and what about bootloader, does that have to be changed back if I've installed an updated bootloader?
Thanks a lot.
Hello everyone,
yesterday, a family member gifted me an s7 from the USA (SM-G930P). He bought the phone off SPRINT as a SPRINT unlocked version, and, of course, because I live in Europe and want to use the phone with a European SIM card I have the "hands free activation" mark that is sitting on the top left edge of the display. I also noticed some changes, for example the "mobile data" toggle is nowhere to be found and also I don't have the options to choose the network mode (2G/3G/4G). I love the phone and I also would like to keep using it, I only need some answers from you guys.
My first question is, if the phone will actually let me use 4G network with my European SIM card, or will I be limited to 3G?
My second question is, If I can flash an international firmware for another carrier and another country on the phone, and if so, will I have the advantages of that firmware, like the Mobile Data Toggle??
Thank you very much for your answers.
If you install the 'Network' app you might be able to change the network type.
In general you should be able to use an unlocked P variant with a foreign SIM but you may have to activate with a Sprint SIM first.
You can't flash the international version since it's Exynos and the P version is Qualcomm CPU.
I am not sure if this model has Samsung region lock which is another thing to consider.
If I was you I would try to flash the U firmware (US unlocked) as it has the most support for international 4G bands among the Qualcomm US models. It also doesn't have all of the Sprint bloatware on it.

Thank you for your reply. I am currently using the European Sim from my carrier and I have no problems with it. I managed to get rid of the Bloatware by using Package Disabler Pro, but it still sits there somewhere on my phone. So far, the phone is working very well and other than the bloat sitting on my memory and the lack of LTE, I have no complaints.
Can you tell me if someone has tried to flash the U firmware on a P model with success?

Could you tell me how you did it, or link me a guide??
I had bought an unlocked Sprint galaxy S7 (930P) off ebay which died on me. Got it repaired from the service center and they sent me a locked device instead. The phone is currently on Software Version - G930PVPS4BQC1 and the hardware revision is Rev 0.6. I'll be using the phone in India and have a few questions.
1. I need to get this SIM unlocked from a service online. Does anyone know of a reliable place to do so?
2. If I flash the U Rom on it after unlocking it, will I lose the unlock? (I don't mind downgrading from Nougat to Marshmallow)
3. Should I unlock first then flash the ROM or flash the ROM first and then try to get it unlocked?
4. Will flashing the ROM directly unlock the phone itself?
Please advise.
...
you could try gsm zambia to unlock your phone it works i tried it myself a few days ago, also after my phone got unlocked i flash the U firmware/rom and the unlocked remained. so you should unlock your device first then flash the U firmware :good:
PS. if you one nougat better to downgrade if you can do marshmallow so when you wont have any issues flashing to U firmware. :cool

Hi, I am based in the uk and recently purchased a us import h872 t mobile g6. I have been using it fine but the device has become blocked so I cant use it. If I was to flash a custom rom would I then be able to use it on another network over here in the uk? Hopefully somebody knows if this is possible, thanks in advance
Only international version has root. US models are dead for root. Best bet is to call T-Mobile and provide proof of purchase and see if they will unlock it for you.
IMIE blocked? Have you checked via https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx? Or FRP locked?
Hello,
I just acquired a new 'Huawei Ascend XT' phone which is sim locked to AT&T. I am currently in the process of unlocking the boot loader and rooting the phone.
I was wondering is there any tool available to Carrier / imei unlock this phone after I have rooted it (or may be even befor rooting it)?
Thanks.
I'm fairly certain you just need to change the apn settings manually.. need to do something weird to bring up the option to add/edit, believe it's holding down the tasks button
Without being carrier unlocked, the phone can only be used on AT&T Prepaid, AT&T, or AT&T based MVNOs. These days AT&T won't give you an unlock code unless you use the phone on AT&T Prepaid for 6 months. You can check eBay to see if any unlockers will sell you an unlock code for a few bucks. Only buy from sellers who have a money back guarantee if their unlock code fails.

Bought 2nd-Hand
I would like to ask if there is any way to carrier unlock. I bought this phone for 20$ on offer up. But when I contacted at&t to request unlock they said it has to be used for 6 months. For me that does not work, as I am already with tMobile and bought the XT for a second phone because of the large device support. I actually love the phone, but as is it is just sitting around. If anyone has or has heard of a way to accomplish an unlock please p.m. Me.or answer in forum. Thanks in advance.
Ps. phone is already bootloader unlocked and rooted with magisk 14.0. And latest TwRP.
