im not sure if this is against forum thread rules. but i was wondering if anyone knows how to unlock t mobile galaxy s5 on android version 6.0.0.1
i purchased the phone from a friend, so the phone belonged to him under tmobile. i recently purchased a sim card and plan from another carrier thinking everything was ok just pop it in and ill have cell service no problem, turns out i need to unlock phone or something and idk how to do this. does anyone here know how?
Upon request, T-Mobile will provide the unlock code for free to the account owner (your friend) if the phone is paid in full.

yea we tried that they gave us " we cannnot unlock the phone cause it has not been active on our service for more than 40 days"
The option I see are:
1. Ask your friend to use it ocasionaly and 40 days later ask for unlock key
2. Find a company that does online unlocking, but it costs.
3. Switch to T-Mobile, if it suits you
4. You can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...nlock-t-mobile-galaxy-s5-sm-g900t-to-t3388463. I don't know if it works.

Hi all, I am really new to this forum.
First of all I would like to apologize if this is a double post.
Can some one please help me unlock the X10 from at&t.
I would always unlock att phones by calling their costumer service but they were not able to generate or give me the key to my X10 for some reason. I wonder if there is another way to unlock the phone so i can use sim frm other carriers.
I'm interested as well =)
Is there a free way to unlock phone from AT&T ?
Firstly, the search function at the top works wonders guys, this is one of the most widely posted issues.
There are two solutions I see frequently:

Don't take No for an answer from AT&T. By law, at least in the USA, AT&T has to give you the unlock code 90 days into your contract. Just gotta ask for it.... so they say anyway. Try taking it in to the store. The other ways, like Lance, cost $30+. AT&T should be FREE!

With a custom ROM you have UNBRANDED the phone but not unlocked it. Unlocking it means that you can put any SIM card into it so that if you travel to the EU or other GSM areas you can get a local SIM card much cheaper than an international plan for ATT.
It also doesn't mean that suddenly you have new wireless frequencies either, so if you put in a T-Mobile sim card you won't get their 3G/H or any EU 3G/H.
Some people have reported that your phone will show ROAM when on ATT after unlocking but this shouldn't be a problem as you are a ATT contract holder.
Don't worry i will help you to Unlock Your Sony Ericsson Phones from Network Lock,You can use the Unlock Code to unlock it from Network lock,But you can get the code from Online site...You can get the Unlock code from the site www.simpleunlocking.com and Unlock it......They get the code from Network Data base and provide to you.
for codes you can contact your service provider or can get it from online providers
Anyway to get the unlock code for Samsung Galaxy S2 i will be travelling abroad in 10-15 days ?
Note : I don't want to root my phone
I heard that if you have paid off your phone, and you can show the receipt, then you can call customer service and request it. They will probably wants to see that receipt.
I know you don't want to root, but it might be easier to just root it instead going through this trouble...
isint there an app on the market that does this?
i used the same app for my captivate.
compatibility list shows sgs2

I think it requires rooting to unlock using that app.
If you're willing to devote 15 - 30 minutes to it, call up AT&T and explain that you're going out of the country on business (lie, unless you actually are) and that your company is going to give you a local SIM to use when you arrive so they pick up the expenses for phone service. Give them the ESN. They told me this morning (when I got the unlock code for mine) that they would give it to you as long as you've been a customer in good standings for 6 months. I actually had the same guy agree to give me the unlock code for my Captivate on the same call (told him I wasn't sure which I'd use overseas).
You will need another SIM card to insert so that you will be prompted for the code. I used an old Nextel SIM card -- anything non-AT&T should work.
Can I insert my nano sim card (unlimited data) to Gear S without needing to activate another line on T-Mobile?

T-mobile refuses to unlock the Gear S, so you'll need to get an unlock code from a vendor. There is a great UK one on Ebay.com who sells codes for under $20.
Or go to sammobiles.com and use their preferred unlocking service.
Do you know his name , I can't find any.

T-mobile unlocked my Gear S as soon as I asked for it. He did not go through usual way to send request to another department and then get an email with the unlock code several days later but gave me the code over the phone and a little latter got the email confirmation with the same code.
I think I got this vip treatment because I am a long time customer and was talking to a loyalty operator.

:good:
It could simply be that they have finally removed it from the blocked device list, ... better late than never. Unless the reps I talked to, including a manager, all lied to me, that's likely what happened.
In the end, I am glad T-mo gave me the run-around, since I ended up saving $50 by returning my T-mo Gear S and buying one from ATT instead.
Hello everyone, gave this phone, but I do not use AT & T. Advise how and where can unlock the phone.
In order to get AT&T to unlock this phone you must maintain 6 months of GoPhone service on it. Then unlocking is handled via a request on their website.
Other methods are, the phone is in Russia.
Other methods of what? Unlocking?
Yes, another mode of unlock.
i just called them up and put in a unlock ticket as a non att mobility customer, and a few days later i had my unlock code.

This was my experience yesterday...
What I was told by the at&t customer support rep I called yesterday was that the phone is sold unlocked, but it comes with it's own GoPhone SIM card. According to her if you install that GoPhone card and activate it through the phone or even activate it online it will "SIM-LOCK" to your phone's IMEI number. That means if you activate the SIM card that comes with the phone then you lock your padfone to at&t for 6 months before you can request an unlock via the web form on their site. She then told me to instead simply take the SIM card to my local at&t store and swap it with a postpaid one. The representative then said that they could not have legally sold me a phone that was locked. Since none of this sounded like it was exactly correct or that either one knew for sure I went to the at&t store after I got off the phone. The woman I talked to there said she would take care of the SIM card, but looked confused when I was talking about it being unlocked and just nodded her head like she agreed. She tossed my GoPhone SIM and gave me a postpaid one. I had her activate it and pick out a number. That way if it turns out that it is not unlocked I'll have more ammo to get it refunded and cancelled. I will be stopping back by the store this afternoon to have someone verify everything because I really don't believe that it isn't sold already locked. An article in prepaidphonenews.com also suggested it was the GoPhone SIM, but it did not state anything besides to switch it out for a postpaid one at the store. I will post what I find out as soon as I can.
the rep lied to you. the phone comes locked from the factory. gophonephones work on any at&t mnvo (cricket,etc) and postpaid out of the box. i seemed to get lucky requesting my unlock by calling customer service because my padfone x minis imei wouldnt come up on the device unlock request website.
But the phones definently locked out of the box regardless of what sim is initially put in first.

What happens when you use the unlock code? You need to have a working non-AT&T SIM card installed in the device or it won't work.

The same situation, at&t have sent the code, but it does not fit, when typing writes the wrong code
Buck this Duck!
I got it taken care of by simply calling att and had the unlock code in about 10min. I gotta admit i worked for Bellsouth doing internal tech support for years so i knew what to say and what department to ask for. That experience with the company did have something to do with my results from a phone call. Whats funny and interesting is after that my request from the ATT website went through and i was sent a different code completely .. I thought it was device specific? So yes i can verify this as being fishy and a mystery to me as to if the IMEI was needed at all. Is it a ruse?
Perhaps its a bot that that handles the request from the site?
This is interesting so anyone please if you had a similar experience please post about it. So we can nail down this bootloader. I use mine as a stereo/map in my car and the phone as a emergency SIP device (plus i use the same towers so if my regular phone has any issues i have a quick backup). Plus i just like this phone once i got it bloat free it was actually serviceable!
Is there a functional rom link left please that would be awesome! Thanks a lot...
Hi Guys,
I am having a nightmare here trying to get my second hand galaxy s3 GT-9300 unlocked from the THREE network.
1. I tried using online unlock sites but none of them could help and said I needed to contact THREE.
2. One provided the report below.

3. I have rooted the phone and have superuser access to this and it works with THREE sim cards. (I am on vodafone)
4. I called THREE and they said that they need the account holder to release the phone? This is out of contract as it was over 4 years ago when I acquired the phone.
5. I have searched the forums and google looking for a stable program to assist with unlocking this or alternative strategy to get around this but came up short as everything including the below failed.
A> *#197328640# UMTS Free method.
B> Galaxy Toolbox
C> GalaxSim Unlock
D> SGS Unlock Tool
E> Unlock24.net
F> Galaxy S Unlock
6. Can anybody point me to a TRIED and tested solution which I can try or perhaps an advanced way to circumvent this network block on this phone? If it gets 'bricked' it is not the end of the world as I also have a Nexus 6 which is in repair at the moment....
Thanks everybody, I appreciate your patience and help!
Well I guess nobody really knows =D
Anyways, I took my phone to a shop at the market yesterday and they managed to unlock it by a method which I am not aware of but it is working on my chosen network now so fair enough.
Case closed.
