Unlocking a desire hd

I just had my phone to a shop to get it unlocked but they were unable to unlock it has anyone else tried to unlock theres or are there certing builds that cant be unlocked.mine is on orange uk at the moment

Can't you just unlock it with gfree?

You should be able to unlock the phone yourself using the guides posted here on xda forums. Theres a few so just pick one which you can understand and go for it.

Yeah post all the details above and we'll get you going

Is it a prepaid phone or ya got it on plan? I'm sure if it's on plan you can unlock it free yourself. I unlocked mine last night. Just follow the instruction on your mobile carriers website.

Take some time to read through these forums. Also look at phandroid. Both are great communities to help you unlock the potential of the DHD.

Completely explains how to unlock, well at least it did for me (T-Mobile UK) you have to strictly follow the requirements needed though, otherwise you will damage your phone.
(sorry if any of this has already been posted, and thanks to 'jkoljo' for the guide)

Dude, did you try the tool that you maybe used to root it? Try the sim unlock option on there too. Worked for me. Orange uk. Try root tools search for site.

That means you need to downgrade to 1.32 before you can do anything.
Check out the downgrade thread in the Dev Section.

its not rooted so no.
I dont know what rooted is thats why I took it to a shop to get unocked so I'm guessing no one knows the anwser

to unlock ur Simlock u will have to root ur phone to gain write access to patch / alter the file and have gone through the downgrade process to 1.32 FW. A shop prolly wont do that process for you as they tend to do the exact opposite and flash a non rooted Rom.

thanks, im new to this so this has really helped me.

Is it possible to root a Galaxy S7 (G930V)?

Hello Everyone!
I have a Verizon Galaxy S7 and I am wanting to root it! But when I tried it did not work so I just put stock rom file back on it. I read online that my boot loader is blocking the root? I did update to 6.0.1 and my version is G930VVRS4APH1
If anyone has achieved root on this device will you please share instructions on how you did it? Thank you

Yes. and after 2 bricked S7's and a 100 rabbit holes leading me to who knows where, I finally got it.. give me a day or so and ill post the link and how to

The thread Sir_Eagle posted is the correct one for anything root. If something looped, then you either did not meet the prerequisites of the guide or did not follow every step of the guide. The bootloader on this variant requires every image to be signed, this is why the only root we currently have is via a SIGNED AND LEAKED engineer bootloader. Without this, there is no root on this variant. If you DO want to root, follow the link Sir_Eagle provided (but realize it comes with an outdated hacky kernel that has known issues), or go with stock. Up to you

That's still a U snapdragon variant (note Snapdragon 820 in specs).. Would be equally unlockable for the bootloader... "UNLOCKED" in retail sense means SIM unlocked, not bootloader unlocked.

Buy the European version of the phone with the Exynos processor instead of the US version with the Qualcomm one. Problem is that phone likely won't work with any of the carriers here in the USA. Or you could move to Europe.

Snapdragon variants aren't unlockable (exception being one hardware different model than ours). You can get an international samsung chipset variant with unlocked bootloader but not a US snapdragon one.

Thanks. I don't have to worry about that for a while, since I just upgraded. I don't like the idea of no root, but it is what it is. Guess I'll check the device recommendation threads next time.

A few other questions that occur (in case I add more devices to my account or pick up an additional service):
1. Aside from an international there a (quality) phone/brand that will allow rooting in the U.S.?
2. What caveats can be expected when using an international device (presumably, I can get one compatible with whatever carrier I choose)
I guess it's conceivable that I could buy one of these 'rootable' phones and either add it to my Verizon acct or replace one of my current lines.
I miss root, particularly the ability to create nandroids and Titanium backups. Oh, and accessing the entire file system.

I really hope that you just didn't do it right cause I just got a G930V and if I can't root it will be immediately RETURNED
No root is an absolute DEAL BREAKER.
I see rooting threads so I hope it works.

SM-G935A in Europe?

Hi everyone, I just wanted to know if is possible to use the SM-G935A model in Europe? I know that USA models are using differend network frequencies so I was not sure...
Also how can I check and know for sure if the phone is carrier locked, and if it is, is there any way to unlock it here in Bosnia?

Should be fine but check what frequencies your network uses and then compare

It supports Band 3, 7 and 20, commonly used for LTE in the UK and Europe.
It also supports both 2G and 3G on all networks in Bosnia.
Since all countries in the EU use the same LTE bands, it'll work everywhere.

Thank you both for the replies.
Which site is recomended for carrier unlock, I have found cellularunlocker (dot)net but I am not sure if it is reliable and safe to use? It costs 25$
I am sorry if this is not allowed to ask on the forums.

Hello, thank you very much. I will try it and I am familiar with flashing roms, so I will use ODIN to flash a stock ROM which is rebranded. But could you be a little more specific about the partition file, as where I can find them and how to flash it?
Is there a risk of bricking the phone?

Don't know if there are any, but you'll have to find the newest SM-G935A ROM with a PIT file, apparently that removes the network lock.
If you're still hesitant to flash, you'll have to find a reputable cell phone unlock code website. Not sure about them since I've never needed to use one.

Samsung Pay Works but Wifi Calling and Video Calling Does Not

this odin writes to userdata? So it allows full carrier switch? That's huge if true

so how does this work when its time to get an ota update? do you need to flash back to att and then flash to the unlocked equivalent or can you just take unlocked ota's to update the phone?

You do not have to ODIN back. It will update normally. It was pulled from a US Cellular Device which was sold unlocked. I have the Canada version also with the built in Caller ID to identify unknown numbers with the Samsung Smart Call feature. and you do not have to program the APN. Yall let me know if you want me to upload it along with instructions.

I have a Sprint S8+
Have tried flashing over it with this ROM and a Verizon ROM.
Both flash worked completely n ODIN but when the phone reboots, it is still Sprint.
I have seen other posts with same problem.
Am I doing something wrong?
I have tried both Home CSC and Non-Home CSC and the Userdata file was in UMS field in ODIN.

I have the Verizon variant and downloaded the Canadian version, and flashed that over completely the regular CSC, not the home_CSC. This was using the prince comsey or whatever version of Odin, and I let it reboot after. During the setup I did the same thing the other guy mentioned where you only set a pin, and select yes to boot the device with your pin. Once I got through the setup I turned on dev mode, and flashed my stock FW, which was Verizon. I selected all files and chose the home_csc from the Verizon package along with the VZW AP, BL and CP files.
Flashed them all over and let the device reboot. Once it turned on it took a minute or so to get LTE and service in general but it worked.

Just an update but I tried the Canadian one on my device using the home.csc. Notice it does not have a UMS. It worked! The Canadian version is super clean! I am on AT&T, besides for the known things like wifi calling. Are we missing anything by not using the US Cellular version?
Thanks again, it just seems like the US cellular version wouldn't take for me but I am now happy and bloatware free.

Someone said to add fota to apn using shortcut master lite to get OTA from ATT if you don't get OTA updates normally...but yeah if all is stock and working cohesively you should get OTA from them. If you are on unlocked and you just flashed csc and USERDATA files you may still get from Samsung...you just got ATT to whitelist the imei...
Some of the unlocked updates have came from carriers...though (it's kind of odd I looked at where my SPR SM-N950U1 came from and it was the same server that the Sprint s8+ updates came from...then I went back to just XAA and checked for the XAA SM-N950U1 and it was a Samsung server...so you may be getting ATT no matter what once your imei is rightfully registered...

All firmwares for SM-N950U and SM-N950U1 are located at link in OP....for those looking for Firmware

Not sure, I haven't looked....
My zips include BL, AP, CP, CSC, HOME_CSC, and USERDATA...
This one is ATT...
It is compressed individually...and includes a note to use new Odin

So I just flashed the latest att firmware on my Verizon note 8 and just trying to get volte and wifi calling to work but no luck. I've read the combanation file is need to "carrier switch" but none of the combanation files seem like they go with the latest pie firmware? And help and or pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated

My Note 8 was purchased from ATT, then I unlocked it using a service, then I switched to T Mobile years later. When I switched to T Mobile, the firmware updated itself to T Mobile after I booted with a T Mobile SIM.
Now, I am trying to flash it to U1_XAA so that I can gift it to someone in China. However, after factory resets, even from the recovery menu, it fails almost immediately during flashing. Would you please guide me on how to get this flashed to U1_XAA? Or is it ok just to leave it the way it is (U_TMB) and send it out?
Thank you!
P.S. this is with Android Pie, since I got the update while I was still on ATT. I tried flashing with the patched Odin as well, same thing...
