Hi!
How did you do it? My was unlocked but it updated to July's security patch and it locked. How can I unlock it again? I am in Mexico and really need to update it.

Curious here too.

Search ebay for the unlock that says does not void warranty. Permanent unlock. Just serch sprint galaxy note 8 carrier unlock. And you will find the one. And i updated to july security patch and am still unlocked. It is permanent.

Will do.

Still working flawless. On android 9.0 still unocked. All i do is pop in which sim card i want to use.dont have to change anything. It restarts and even puts the boot animation and carrier apps of which sim card i have in. On to rhe phone. And automattically sets the correct apn

Yup.

Check out my speeds. I get like 45 50 mbps down on sprint and 120-150 on tmobile crazy

alright. so i want to say i went this route as well. i have 3 months left on my sprint contract.that being said, i have the files he used during the unlocking process. the problem is there is another thing he did to actually unlock it. he used something called flexihub while it was in the combination firmware to actually do something on his machine that i couldnt see. this is something he did on the modem level, but i confirmed with him that it doesnt matter if i flash another firmware using odin, my sim will still be unlocked. i have tried this with verizon sim and it works. again, my contract is not up with sprint yet, which means my device shouldnt be unlocked, but this somehow works. if anyone else wants this, here is the ebay seller link that i got mine done within an hour. keep in mind that you have to back up your device, because what he does is flash firmware. also he will need access to your computer to work remotely, but he never strayed from what he was doing. for 7 bucks, this is a steal.

UK Tesco Device - Unlock & Stock ROM

Just posting my experience of getting a fresh Moto G 16GB that was Tesco purchased - unlocked and to Stock.
I linked to the XDA thread by t-bon3 - which is a great guide.
Here is how it went for me.
First issue that the device is locked to tesco sim cards.
Note: you are not unlocking the bootloader or adding root to the system.
The phone will be exactly as if you bought it from retail, just you got it subsided by Tesco.
I choose these guys to get an unlock code - they seemed professional - I avoid ebay & paypal.
http://www.unlockunit.com/unlock-motorola-moto-g?var=tel
Form filling.......
Phone Model : *Moto G*
Country & Network : *United Kingdom - Tesco Mobile*
IMEI: *XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX*
E-mail: *YourEmail*
I then got 3 Emails.
1: Confirm Order
2: Confirm Payment
3: Unlock code (came 11 minutes after I paid)
There were 2 unlock codes - I put a non-tesco SIM in and was greeted with the prompt - the first code worked.
Then after that I followed this guide to Install the UK Retail firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47820707
Files From here
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
I used this one

Simple task, enable USB debugging, reboot into fastboot, run script, reboot.
Now just to wait for the Over The Air 4.4.2 update that is due any day for the UK phones.

I agree I paid too much.. no going back now.
However I disagree that using a Pseudo Stock Rom is superior to flashing an actual stock ROM

Wrong.
It is a full stock UK ROM. It wouldn't install if it wasn't.
In this case, repacked means adding the proper Moto fastboot tool, and a .bat file to automate the commands.
Appreciate the post, Tesco phone now on stock and unlocked via ebay..... cheers all.

Exactly, just does the long winded way from one simple command.
Actually, there is one error in the simple way, if you can call it that, he doesn't say you need to enable usb debugging before you start which might be confusing for noobs.
You don't need to enable it.
Put phone in fastboot, run .bat
Do you guys know if I can flash the US retail rom on my Canadian Koodo Moto g with the bootloader locked?
Try it and see, worst case scenario is it falls to install.

Not necessarily
My stock rom is not available yet so I would have to unlock the bootloader if it doesn't work. I want to keep my warranty. I will wait it out if I have to.

[SOLVED] Help! me go from CM12.1 >stock >straight talk

I won an HTC One M9 from sprint. My previous phone was a non-triband L720 Samsung S4.
I'm selling the phone to a friend who will be getting Sprint, but can't yet do it because the closest place around is like 60 miles away!
So in the mean time, he got a straight talk card (CDMA&GSM)
I have found two relevant URLs pertaining to unlocking the phone.
Domestic unlock - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530610
And international - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415587
Thing is,
A. I'm in good standing with Sprint so I can get it unlocked.
B. Dear god look at those instructions! I can unlock it manually, but dang man! That's scary if I go into a menu and screw things up, or worse, it doesn't unlock and I don't even know which step I messed up on. I've been flashing for years, I'm not a newbie.
I need help with:
A. helping me know which stock from to flash. I came from lollipop.
B. while keeping my recovery if possible. He wants my CM12.1, so I will back it up and then restore it.
C. Do I need to flash any modems/basebands? I'm confused. I have
L720PUGOD2 currently.
So
1. Backup cm12.1
2. flash lollipop stock
3.call Sprint, get UICC unlock
they will domestic unlock it right?
4. Then I can get back to the cm12.1 on my own.
Is that correct? From what I read, CDMA straight talk
So hopefully it's that easy. My buddy want the phone working asap so I would really appreciate an opinion from a pro. Thanks!

Yes, OD2 is the stock Lollipop, actually if you look in the General section there is a domestic unlocked OD2 modem that you can simply flash in Odin.

K, so I was using a guide that required me to download a self extracting zip that would downgrade me to M919. It just. wouldn't. work. I went through hell to make it work.
downloaded Kies, drivers.... I ended using a different guide that had me downgrade to NG2. with a few lines of ADB, I was unlocked! two days, 20 files later....
Anyways, flashed the Google edition ROM, pimped it out, and everyone is happy. I learned a lot in the process.
How do I delete this thread?

AT&T Nougat ROM Carrier aggregation

On my S7 edge,i have flashed between all the different roms but since my HD Voice,Wi-Fi Calling, and VoLTE (All very important features for me) don't work, I reverted to my stock rom. the carrier aggregation says "CA-not configured 00" and was getting 50% worse speeds than my two year old iPad Air 2. I have ran it on many different cell towers which I know have the Carrier aggregation enabled but it sill wouldn't connect.
It may have gotten disabled somehow. CA can be enabled/disabled in the Service Menus

It seems that the code to get there has been disabled in 7.0
AT&T variant had a code on MM that you type into the dialer to being up one of the Service Menus. The code for the Verizon variant is *#27663368378# and can be accessed after root & modification to one of the carrier files for Hidden Menus.
I believe the code was *#197328640# but like I said they appear to be dead now.
Here are some screens that I took of my phone.

How do you change the files to accept the codes? If i flashed my phone to the verizon version and do this,would i lose the carrier aggregation once i flash back to att. my goal is to return the phone back to what it was prior to all the rom flashing because i plan to sell the phone on ebay so i can get the s8+

In addition to re-ODINing the phone,I also flashed the Verizon firmware and rooted it to get the carrier aggregarion menu and when I put it back to the AT&T firmware,i still got the CA-Not Config 0 0 status in the servicemenu.On the tmobile firmware the 3x carrier aggregations work (I don't have another phone to see if AT&T CA works and I'm still waiting for my T-Mobile SIM to see if it's not the phone itself that's wrong)

Turning the International version of unlocked S8 to the US version of T-Mobile

Hello,
I have recently purchased an S8 on newegg.com (Samsung Galaxy S8 G950FD Dual SIM GSM Unlocked) and wanted to see how I could get the T-Mobile bootloader on the phone, as I have noticed that my data speeds have been extremely slow compared to my old + other phones that were US versions and came with T-Mobile software. Currently, there are no options for VoLTE, Enhanced Network options, etc. that I usually find, even though I am on the T-Mobile network and went to their store to get a new SIM card. I found instructions here to switch to any carrier firmware 100%, but wasn't sure if this would ultimately help achieve my goals of increasing network speeds on my phone. Also, it calls to download and install "G950W firmware", but I wasn't sure if it would be okay since my phone is G950FD.
Here are the phone specs that I have pulled:
CP: G950FXXU1AQL5
CSC: G950FOXM1AQL5
Model: SM-G950F/DS
Am I correct to assume that once I follow those instructions, it should be relatively straight forward, and would make my phone as if I had bought it from the T-Mobile store (US version)? Are there any changes to the instructions that I need to make for my phone specifically?
I bought mine as an unlocked Verizon phone but use ATT. I downloaded Samsung Smart Switch on my Windows PC. When I started it I was able to update the firmware to the layest.. When the phone rebooted afterwards a message popped up on the phone saying that I had "Switched SIM Card Carrier" and then proceeded to download the ATT S8 apps and swapped the bootloader to an ATT bootloader. All VZW apps were removed as well and ATT native apps work now including visual voicemail and number sync with Samsung Gear 2.

just re-read your post... so you updated your phone via the software update, and once rebooted, you got the carrier's bootloader?

It finished and just rebooted the phone without asking me anything about SIM card changes or carrier settings. Now I just have Android Oreo instead of Nougat.

Sorry man, it worked for me. My phone is a Samsung S8 G950u so it may be different but I can only attest to what worked on my particular phone. I bought it as an unlocked phone on eBay and it came with Verizon firmware. It sealed to match my ATT SIM after updating with Smart Switch.

no problem. it was def worth a shot.
so after doing some more self research I guess that I shouldn't follow those instructions from the link that I provided since that is for "G950U", and I have a "G950F". any ideas on how I could get Tmobile stuff on the G950F?

Android 11 decreased my SOT by close to 2 or 2.5 hours. Wanting to flash back to Android 10 (HELP)

So I just bought a used Galaxy s10 Plus on eBay. I was getting amazing battery life and great SOT but I was forced to download Android 11 by force update and now my SOT has gone down almost 2.5 hours from when it was previously running on Android 10. I despise having to deal with these issues even though its a used phone. On the SamMobile website I found the correct PDA G975U1UES5GUD1 but I can't find the CSC code on my phone and I am afraid I will flash the wrong firmware and damage the phone.
How can I Find the CSC code on my phone? The device is been used on Verizon prepaid via Red Pocket Mobile and its Factory GSM and CDMA unlocked. I would really appreciate any help I can get with this.
Thank you so much in advance.

If you are you can find it by dialing *#1234# on the dial app. But i think it is VZW since you've said the carrier is Verizon.

So I just bought a used Galaxy s10 Plus on eBay. I was getting amazing battery life and great SOT but I was forced to download Android 11 by force update and now my SOT has gone down almost 2.5 hours from when it was previously running on Android 10. I despise having to deal with these issues even though its a used phone. On the SamMobile website I found the correct PDA G975U1UES5GUD1 but I can't find the CSC code on my phone and I am afraid I will flash the wrong firmware and damage the phone.
How can I Find the CSC code on my phone? The device is been used on Verizon prepaid via Red Pocket Mobile and its Factory GSM and CDMA unlocked. I would really appreciate any help I can get with this.
Thank you so much in advance.

You won't damage your phone if they mismatch, probably only carrier settings would break
But the link I gave according to that you are having Verizon as the carrier and you are living in the US when you got force OTA update then it’ll match.
That's if you can go back.
Doesn't 11 update the boot loader version too?
Well yeah now that you mention it probably.
Hmm, but there should be a way of degrading the software even so.

If he uses Odin he can downgrade fine enough,
Unfortunately, I think he'll lose his data though.
I haven't downgraded from One UI 3.0 before since I only got a A21s.

I'm still running Pie. It's what I've been seeing here about the 11 update updating the boot loader too. Maybe that's OTA upgrades only.
Not a concern of mine though.
Data loss is a given... at least be prepared for it.
Yeah, I agree since I'm still running 10 Idk really about bootloader changes from 10-11.
But if that's the case then Its probably impossible to downgrade without getting a bricked phone.
Doublecheck the bootloader version code of both versions of android so you don't brick your phone.
This is starting to sound too risky I do appreciate everyones help on this post honestly but at this point I am not going to risk messing up a $330 phone. But thank you all for making things clear.

Well, you can wait for the fix then. Maybe Samsung will release a fix to solve that issue

Yeah hopefully thank you for your help tho. Appreciate it.
No problem, but if the kernel hasn't changed the ROM can be downgraded. If it has you can just take it to Samsung and ask them to downgrade for you.
My friend did that.
