If you are with ATT and you are in the military, all you have to do is go to ATT.com/deviceunlock, submit the request and it should ask you to upload your papers for leave.
You will then get your code within 24-48 hours.

If you had the phone activated with metro for more than 3 months, call customer service and they will give the unlock code.

nope not for the att mega

I went on cellunlocker site yesterday and priced the att unlock. It was $30. But make sure you activate with the original carrier before unlocking and using different sim. There is a new thing called REGION lock which samsung has started using. If you unlock before activation with the original carrier you will not be able to use your phone internationally. Cell unlocker explains it pretty well with a disclaimer about their service.
They say it applies to all USA phones released with 4.4 kitKat and all Samsung newer phones. The mega isn't specified, but all other top samsung galaxy phones are.
@ randy, thank you for your service and stay safe.:angel:

If your phone has been used previously with the original carrier, this will not apply to you. However, if your device is BRAND NEW, your must activate it with the original carrier. > Seems as if it was activated just once then can be unlocked no issues. Seems this mostly applies to NEW phones...

I had my Mega on MetroPCS for 3 months though I am no longer on MetroPCS. I called them 3 times and each time they put the request in and say I have to wait 3 business days for email but they never send email.... frustrating - I do not want to spend $30 because MetroPCS is supposed to give it to me for free.

How to unlock Att Samsung Galaxy Note

Does anybody know how to unlock the Att Galaxy NOte....does the unlock app by helroz work...https://market.android.com/details?...wxLDIxMiwiY29tLmhlbHJvei5nYWxheHlzdW5sb2NrIl0.
thanks...cool phone...
Unlock codes would be nice
Especially after AT&T states they refuse to provide any unlock code for the Galaxy Note until December 2012. Not exactly happy, all the more reason to really dislike them.

Or use one of the many choices on eBay:

AT&T will release unlock codes to customers who have had the Note for atleast 6 months on contract. That's what a rep said. If you purchased the Note when it was released (Febuary 19) then you should be able to get the code.

I had success via ATT support web chat. Told them I'm going to Europe for a month and needed unlock code. Next reply from the rep was the code. Took 5 minutes total. :good:
Yes, if you've been on contract for a while, it's free.
In my case I bought the phone off-contract and it only cost a few dollars to unlock it on eBay.
I bought mine no contract and I got the code from at&t live chat for free.
I suspect that's because you're on AT&T, while I'm using an AT&T phone on T-Mobile
I spoke to an AT&T internation rep on the online chat at about 3am and they gladly unlocked my 2 i717's with no problem... Now I just need a sim card to test it with lol. Will I be able to use a t-mobile sim in a stock phone or do I need to flash a t-mobile modem?
The T-Mobile sim should suffice, no need to flash a new modem for basic voice+edge.
(You'll need to flash a modem to take advantage of 4g/3g data speeds, T989UVLE1 worked for me)

No you can't. You will have to pay a company like CreekDirt mentioned. You should have picked up the unlocked international version.
You may also want to go talk to ATT about it. Explain that you will be travelling to a region of the world where ATT has no service and that you intend to get a SIM card locally and would like to use your Galaxy Note. ATT can unlock the phone for you, and if you are polite about it sometimes they will do it prior to the 6 month window they generally have for new phones, especially if you are a long time customer.
Att will only unlock it after they lose exclusivity of it which would be when the T-Mobile version comes out.

I don't know if their policy changed since 2007 but back then, I e-mailed their customer support for unlock code for my phone because I told them I am currently out of country in Burma, a country they don't have roaming partner so I would like to use the local SIM in my phone and they e-mail me unlock code within 24 hours with the unlock code.
Yeah they used to do that. Lately they claim they can't provide codes if they are the exclusive carrier. They denied me an unlock code on the Note and Samsung Focus Flash saying they won't provide them until a certain date.

I explained to them that I do work abroad and they still refused me. They said it would be six months from March until they would do it.
So I paid $35. Works great!

bormasina, It is usually all laid out for you on the unlockers website,you just fill out the form with your imei,carrier etc... then they email you the unlock code.Sometimes it is almost instantly emailed but if not,it do sent take long.That info is also usually on the unlockers website too.

It took about two hours. They were running a special that if you posted a youtube video of you unlocking your phone with their service it was free.
Thanks
Thanks on your answers ...
I'm kind off hesitant ... or maybe paranoid about having sent my imei number to somebody ...
I guess i have no other choice, since AT&T is not cooperating, even after several attempts ...
Thanks again ...

Tthere are several very reputable unlocker companies around.Look for threads on this subject here on XDA.They would not jeporadize their profession by messing with peoples imei's.Just look around you will find.

It took about 10 minutes for my code to come
They were willing to do it with me, I was told that Samsung has asked them not to release unlock until August 19th. At that time they will happily provide the unlocks. I've been with AT&T for 10+ years, they have never hesitated to give me an unlock code except for an iPhone. I admit, its the first time they've delayed, but I have no reason to doubt their explanation. Honestly, the CSR (all 3, I tried several times) all seemed surprised that they didn't have access to do it.
So, in short, if you need it now, pay. Otherwise, be patient. Either we'll figure out how to unlock it, or AT&T can do it when they get the codes.
The unlock code will typically require stock Rom ...
My code kept failing.. I called supplier, they insisted I needed a stock Rom.
Reverted to stock and paid for code worked. Phone now remains unlocked regardless of Rom i install.

>curious ? which ROM were you using that "required you to UNLOCK the phone"? as most NON STOCK ROM = UNLOCK(ed).....AFAIK> if you installed new ROM - that would GENERALY require "root" access .... and thus by installing non=std ROM = will itself UNLOCK it.....
>> there is some 'minor differance' eg ATT - TMobile .... but then its 'GSM frequency rate' and you can go from one to another (provided you have right SIM card....
keen to know
thanks
Freely admit others may be smarter than me.
But I rooted but did not unlock this phone.
Installed several ROMs none of which spontaneously unlocked the phone from the carrier unlock.
Attempts to install different carrier SIM didn't work until I reverted to stock ROM and executed a carrier unlock with code. Even installing an AT&T ROM, the phone still only worked with Telus SIM. I didn't care if the phone was officially 'unlocked' -- I just needed to be able to use an AT&T SIM in it. Installing an AT&T stock ROM didn't accomplish that, nor did any of the many choices available here in the DEV forum.
Advice I got right here in XDA was such that I had to unlock first... before installing other ROMs. Perhaps, I was misled?
On a Galaxy Infuse 4G, I was able to root the phone and find the unlock code inside a file located on the phone. Then unlock before new ROM install.
Wasn't able to do that successfully on the note.

Oddly enough, I haven't purchased an unlock code, yet my device recognizes my T-Mobile sim. I've only rooted and installed custom roms + radios. Maybe I'm lucky.

Sim unlock t-mobile LG V10

I recently bought this amazing phone on ebay, and I'm trying to sim unlock it, the phone is not blacklisted, or financed, but It cannot be unlocked since its not in T-mobile database(even when it is branded tmobile phone with all the tmobile bloated apps), since T-mobile or LG cannot unlock it I was looking for a Root-unlocking solution for this since I dont want to start the process of returning the phone at this time of the year and I already paid for my country customs fees to get the phone here.
Is there any way to sim unlock the LG h901 using root mods?
Thanks, I will appreciate your answers
As per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/unlocking-sim-tmobile-t3241032, it seems the only unofficial way to sim unlock may be to pay $44.90 here: https://www.unlockbase.com/phone-unlocking-service/tmobile-device-unlock-app-official-unlock/. Someone said it worked for them anyway..

I already tried that, and I got a refund from them, and two more unlocking service sellers (one seller on ebay and from releasemycode.com) the last one told me they all use the same server provider for the tmobile device app unlock, so it is useless to go to other unlock service. Thats why I open this thread to seenif there is any other way to sim unlock this phone
@yael20
Here's two options :
1. Ask your friend that have tmo service to call tmo and register your phone IMEI with their number and call tmo to unlocked it using device unlock app... since your phone not blacklisted or No financed.....[Worked for me].
2. Unlocked the BL... Install twrp... Root it and flash custom Rom ....install SuperSU and install regionlockaway.apk by @Chainfire same the creator of SuperSU and maybe it would unlock the SIM card. It worked for me in the past.... With Samsung ...htc phone....not sure LG phone.
*Swyped from T3DROID V10*
Let me know if what ted77usa worked pls

Same thing here
Looks like we will have to change our phones's CSC
To make it work, that raise a few questions:
1 - Can we change our CSC like it is done on Samsung Galaxy phones?
2 - can we flash the International, verizon, or ATT rom's CSC on our phone so we can get it unlocked or make it unlockable?
3- can I change my phone's imei to and old phone's imei that I have at home from the carrier where I want to use the phone with?
I'm not an expert and some of this questions may dont make any sense, but I'm just looking for some options to make this work...
successful non-TMobile SIM unlock
Bought mine SIM locked outright from T-Mobile with no activation, contract, or account. Paid $49.99 to Cellunlocker.net. it took 2 days. They were able to add my IMEI to the list so that the T-Mobile Unlock app saw mine as eligible for unlock. I selected permanent unlock & it worked without hiccup. I use mine on cricket now w/ no problems. I do not work for them or care to promote- just letting you know what I did that worked.

Thanks, I'm going to try that, but guys from unlockbase.com told me they all use the same server for unlocks, is that true?
Not sure, but I paid last Saturday and was notified that they were done Monday. No code or anything, no refund or apologies. I used the tmo unlock & it worked. That's all I know.
I'm in the same situation, bought it in eBay
I've tried:
Cellunlocker.net
Unlockriver
Unlockpanda
Releasemycode
... Now waiting response from onlineunlocks.com
But if they all use the same server as you said, so it's going to fall. =/
Buying from t-mobile outright is different story i guess. But my case the eBay seller said it was bought in bulk from LG, and not from t-mobile, maybe that's why cannot be unlocked. Sadly, I'm going to return it tomorrow.
I'm wondering what people's IMEI will show here: http://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx
I imagine that the phone has to show as valid there to be unlockable by these services?
My seller said kind of same thing too, he said he "used to work fot T-mobile" and got it as a gift directly from LG , so when I check the Imei in tmobile database it doesnt show as blacklisted or financed, but it is like it doesnt exist in their database. The seller says it has to be activated and used for at least 30 days in T-mobile's network to get registered in their database.
I'm not as lucky as you, my seller is open for a return and refund me, BUT I paid 18% of the phone selling price (500+) in customs ( since I bought it from outside of United States) and I cant get a refund on that, I choose to wait for now....
Nevermind, dumb question haha. Sorry

I also tried cellunlocker and swiftunlocks and was refunded. So what I did since the seller on swappa wouldn't refund was I called tmobiel and bought a north american roaming package which is $50 usd per month and I'm at least able to use the phone. Basically we need to have it in use for 40 days and they will unlock it for us.

Phone came with a tmo sim card. If yours was bnib it also should have. You should check the box. I'm actually considering staying with tmo since their prices for the roaming plan is better than what bell can offer in a regular plan and they have better features. Ie free visual voicemail.
But if you don't have a sim in the box you should call tmo and order one. I think that this is the only route for some of us to take.

I am in a similar boat - I bought the phone from Ebay and it was T Mobile (brand new sealed). No service was able to unlock it for me so I called T Mobile and opened an Pre-Paid account. I put $10 on and used this while in the States to show it registered on T Mobile system.
I called to ask if it was registered on their network and they said yes. When I contacted T Mobile today, they said they can unlock it today if I put alteast $100 in refills. So once I did that, and called back - they then told me they still could not unlock it as my IMEI number was not registered in their system and my phone was not showing as a T Mobile phone!
I escalated the issue to the Support team and hopefully hear a response in the next two days. I told them that I did all they asked me to do including calling several times to verify the phone was with T Mobile so they either unlock my phone or refund me the $100 I paid.

blown away with the sprint version - got it unlocked and all sim are working

yesterday I got the S7 from a guy for the price of $420 sprint locked and sealed.
i got 2 sims. VZW and AT&T.
i went ahead and order the $7 unlock from ebay and texted him after i follow the requirements which is from PE1 downgrade to PC5. in less than 5mins the phone was unlocked as i can see him working remotely. putting my VZW and AT&T sim will not work even you factory reset. quite frustrating right? so what i did is load this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/xda-community-love-g930u-t3415875
now my phone is so amazing. AT&T sim worked and has LTE. the VZW sim worked and i can see it has volte on the menu!
every sim you switch it will ask to restart then the phone will automatically configured. no need to add APN
hope this will help. i can root this but NO thanks, i love Samsung pay!
oh by the way, i bought a soda on the vending machine and quickly Samsung gave me a $20 promotion from some outlets you choose

be careful, first time I bought the unlocked on ebay was a fluke.. for some reason he asked me to downgrade from PC5 then he unlock it. to my surprise when I load the "U" software on ODIN the phone locked again and invalid sim! so I asked for a refund.
find on ebay that they can unlocked even if you are on the latest software like P2F above. if they can do it without downgrading that means this is "permanent"
hope it helps.

thankss... for ur rply ...
unlock through z3x is parmanent so i do so ....... i update it to u firmware and it working well .... but only volte calls not working on "'jio'' network .....
Were there any physical spec differences between the U model and other carrier locked model? And why people are trying to flash the U firmware?
I bought a G930U refurb and paid extra (could've bought a Sprint P version new off CL), and kinda regretted doing so. SIM unlock can be bought as low as $7 for a Sprint version, also seems like P version can flash with U firmware as well. I checked Samsung's own site, and seems U version even has less supported bands (i.e. band 25 was not listed for U, but was there for P)
My intention was to get prepared when I bail out from Sprint next spring, I can go with any MVNO without restriction.
Please share some thoughts. Maybe I should've bought a P version and invested $7 to SIM unlcok?
Can you get LTE on T-Mobile?
I ended up paying for the unlock and it went well. Flashed the G930U and still worked. But i ended up finding a newer g930u firmware to flashed that and it ended up locking the phone again. Idk if it has to do with maybe the wrong Product Code build or that. might try to unlock again
Worked this rom for g93op?

now my phone is so amazing. At&t sim worked and has lte. The vzw sim worked and i can see it has volte on the menu!
Every sim you switch it will ask to restart then the phone will automatically configured. No need to add apn
hope this will help. I can root this but no thanks, i love samsung pay!
oh by the way, i bought a soda on the vending machine and quickly samsung gave me a $20 promotion from some outlets you choose

I'm pretty sure there's a guy around here doing it for free.

I have the sprint version as well. I currently have this firmware G930PVPS4APK1. Was this the same firmware you had when you started this process?
I finally got out of my contract with Sprint, It took me close to a week to get all 7 phones unlocked and or MSL numbers for my phones.
I was wondering if this would get rid of the "checking device status" i constantly get no matter how many times I force close the app.
Thanks

Did you ever end up flashing U onto your G930P?
I'm in a similar boat here with a newly bought-out and unlocked S7 from Sprint. I want to flash U on there and the T-Mobile radios, since I'm now on their network, but I've read some posts about losing unlock after flashing a new firmware, particularly G930U.
As you can imagine, given how much of a hassle it was dealing with Sprint and getting a full unlock, I am hesitant to disrupt whatever cosmic forces have aligned to bring me to my current state of a working, unlocked phone.
Not at the present, I purchased package disabler pro from the play store. I just disabled all the bloat ware and disabled the activation process and to be honest I don't have any need to change the os at this time. I did find another thread in the forums that tells you how to root the pk1 firmware if that helps.
Hey guys. I sim unlocked and am on PL6. I have att mvno, H20. Do i need to flash a u firm? Do i need to update to nougat? Have you guys tried custom roms? I sim unlockes because a guy sold me a phone with an unpaid sprint balance, esn is good though. How do i tell if my data is coming from sprint or my mvno. I think he still has this phone active on his account.
I can do the Unlocks for donations . Pm me , If your able to have it rooted first it helps a lot but not necessary

VoLTE and Spay work with this.

SIM/Network Unlock TMobile S7+

Has anyone had any luck at network unlocking their TMobile Tab S7+ ? I purchased from Samsung but they didn't have an "unlocked" version. Bought the TMobile one but it appears to be Network Locked

Yes, I paid off my device then it automatically sent me a notification to unlock. I went to Settings>connections>more connection settings and clicked the unlock button. Now it shows that my tablet is network unlocked.

That's great news. My device is paid off in that I bought it from Samsung ..... Should I just call TMobile? Since it obviously can be unlocked
Found this on Reddit the other day. It didnt work for me but might work for you.

I'll try it but not real confident
I just got the Jan security update from T-Mobile. When I run it now it tells me my tablet doesn't meet the requirements. The support page says it must be active for 40 days, which I haven't quite cleared yet.
Not the end of the world but I can piggyback on to my existing ATT plan for $10 a month. The t-mobile plan is 50 unless there's a better option?
I'm still on the October Security patch .... wonder if it would be worth the time for 2 factory resets lol??
I got a plan for my tablet with T-Mobile that was originally $60. But they offer a discount since I have a phone line and a couple of dollars for autopay. I get unlimited data on my tablet for $20 a month. Can't really complain!

Have you unlocked your device? if yes, can you please tell me how
I bought S7 plus T-mobile, and it's locked.
I called Samsung and told me to call T-mobile <<< I called T-mobile and told me to call Samsung >>>>

I've posted a couple of places but I think the easiest and best way is to temporarily activate the TMO SIM. I then contacted TMO Twitter support ...... They know what's going on, the phone support doesn't. Tell them you have a Samsung device that's paid for. Can they please network unlock the device. Within 48 hrs I was able to unlock my device in the settings

Yes. Initially I tried their online chat, then called in and then went to a store. No luck with any of them. They directed me to Samsung, who then directed me back to T-Mobile. I messaged them on Facebook and Twitter. The Twitter attempt went nowhere. However, they engaged with me on Facebook Messenger quickly and were able to get my S7+ T-Mobile tablets unlocked. I gave them the IMEI numbers and they submitted a request to Samsung who then (somehow) whitelisted my IMEIs. This process took a couple days. Then I was able to successfully use "Permanent Unlock" under Settings - Connections - More Connection Settings - Network Unlock.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to make this thing work on AT&T...
Hey guys, just wanted to see for the ones who got theres unlocked, are you able to perform root? Thanks

I bought a t mobile with hopes of activation to att after my 60days. Turns out from my business att rep that the s7+ isn't compatible on att. It's isn't compatible with Verizon either but I put my son's sim in it and worked like a champ.
Today I took my buddies att sim and it worked like a champ. I took a new att sim activated for another device and popped it into the tmobile tablet and it never registered. Not sure why my buddies iPhone sim worked but not the new att activated one or how a Verizon sim worked.

Sounds like possibly att is putting restrictions on their network.
