Hi everyone,
i purchased a white S6 EDGE from Rogers. My question is, is it possible to sim unlock it for free? I saw threads about older samsung devices and methods to unlock them but im wondering if they will work with the S6.
I'm talking about a factory sim unlock and not rooting the device. Would flashing the firmware from another carrier make it work on their network?

As of now there is no "free" unlock. Flashing another firmware will not unlock the phone as the bl/modem partition will fail to flash. Furthermore, the unlock/provisioning info is stored in the EFS partition which is not modified in a firmware flash. Easiest way to unlock is to purchase an unlock code online and use a sim from another carrier to trigger the unlock prompt where you can enter the code.
I personally used SwiftUnlocks and the code worked flawlessly.

I'm with TELUS. And, yes, it's perfectly safe. Just a code they send you within 24 hours of your purchase. I have a Bell sim for work and am now able to use both with my phone with no problems.

swiftunlocks.com is at $15 if you're trying to save money. Select the "Unlock Samsung Canada" option. That's the one I used and it worked perfectly.

Have you already tested your EDGE to confirm that it's actually locked?
I purchase 3 S6 EDGE's from Rogers and all came unlocked. Tested with Bell and Telus SIM Cards.
I actually didn't receive it yet so I was being proactive. I had purchased a nexus phone from rogers in the past that came unlocked. Let's home my s6 edge is too.

I was wondering, how long did it take you to get your phones from Rogers? Looking at their forums it looks like there is a shortage of S6 and Edge phones. Some people claim to have waited over a month already and are nowhere near the top of the waiting list. Sounds like i might get my phone in 2016 at this rate..
I got the 1st one on release day. The 2nd took 10 days and my 3rd one came one day after ordering it.

Hi guys, I know its early days, but I'm wondering if anyone knows a reliable website where I can get a unlocking code for the s6 edge?. I'm getting mine delivered tomorrow, and it will be locked to 02 UK.
Cheers guys ?

Try http://www.getunlocked.com/ I used them for my AT&T S6, but I am pretty sure they support other carriers as well. I contacted the before hand and they said the CANNOT unlock the T-Mobile (USA) S6, but that everything else should be fine. It appears that T-Mobile has their own customer ROM/app for the S6so the regular unlocking sites don't work.
You can always try asking them http://www.getunlocked.com/contact-us/

Hi,
Here is what Samsung Netherland Support says:
Send the Email (Netherland Samsung Support Page)
Subject: TAV Ibrahim
Date of Purchase
Serial Number
Model Number
IMEI Number
Reason to Unlock (Why are you Requesting to use another SIM Card)
Invoice (Attached)
Complete Address
In my case, they will check the data, send to Samsung Korea on Friday and Receive the Unlock PIN on next Tuesday.
I'm waiting for my code right now. Hope works.
I suggest who has the same problem contact your sale support page (country where you purchased).
I thought it was now a law here in the US that all cell phones are supposed to be unlocked? Am I misunderstanding something?
me too, eire three
I believe that in the US, it is only required for carriers once the phone is out of contract. At that time, you can then request unlock code. If you want it before then you have to go through a 3rd party.
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?

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

Hi! I live in Ukraine and I am thinking about buying sprint S8 bad esn on Ebay. Will it work internationally (in Ukraine)? Do I have to unlock it to use internationally? I had many Verizon bad esn phones and all of them work perfectly.

Yes. You pay your phone in full to sprint then click uicc unlock
Are you able to activate it?
So I got my unlocked version from samsung and tried to activate through sprint with the sim card from my s7edge and they are telling me I need to purchase a new sim because this one isn't compatible
What gives?
Had to do the same thing with my S8+ coming from S7 edge. Quick trip to Sprint store with your new phone in hand and they will give you the Sim card and activate it. You probably will not be charged either. I didn't and I bought my S8 from Best buy.

We can flash stock software's just like the S8 and S8+ with odin...they are signed....to mix parts of the software they used a different version of Odin,
I was just seeing if anyone is going to try right away...
So i am in NYC and called /stopped by stores and none have the note 8 or sim cards for it.
Sprint is supposedly overnighting the cards to me. so I have a phone that can't active since no sim .

I had to go to 3 different corporate stores before I found one that carried it.
can someone be specific in any of the missing features or functionality of the unlocked phone when using on Sprint's network?..
my carrier phone order from 8/29 is still stuck in pre order. a big reason I had ordered carrier was to not get stuck waiting and because I assumed the unlocked phone would not operate as well as the carrier phone on sprints network. so, how does it work?
I've had unlocked phones on sprint before. The only big thing I've noticed that's missing is the sprint free wifi calling functionality (it doesn't work very well, so I never use it), and their wifi security app. Everything else is good.
I just ordered an unlocked note 8 (note 7 promotion). My reason for unlocked is I find they hold their resale much better then the carrier specific phones.
Unlocked version:
Hotspot - Awesome
Download Booster - Awesome
No Bloat - Awesome
Wi-Fi Calling - working awesomely
Sprint Version:
LTE Calling - I might miss, might be worth flashing Sprint mod when available...

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!

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...

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.

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.

Sounds like possibly att is putting restrictions on their network.
