Since the phone is T-Mobile and the Orchid Gray model .. I would suspect the model # to be SM-N950UZVATMB

SM-N950UZVATMB Bro Same mobile i hav dont know its orignal or not

LG V10 SIM Locked - Not For Sale Unit

Hi All,
I bought a LG V10 T-Mobile thru buy& sell online and didn't realized that it still Network Unlocked. I cannot use it to other Network provider and I am very frustrated already. I already try using several unlocking sites but the codes for my IMEI are always cannot be calculated. I'm not sure if this unit is just a demo and cannot be unlock. I also check my IMEI number to T-Mobile IMEI Checker from their site but unable to verify my number. Done also chatting with one of T Mobile support but they cannot also help me to unlock my phone. They said I need to by a T Mobile SIM Card but it is not possible because I'm from the Philippines. There is also a note engraved to my unit saying "Not for Sale H960A Rev 1.0".
Please help me if there's still a way to unlock the network of my phone.
Thank you.

Can the Snapdragon S9+ (G9650) be used for VoLTE in the Netherlands?

I recently moved to the Netherlands and got a contract with Tele2, a 4G provider that offers VoLTE. However, my Latin American, Snapdragon-based S9+ (SM-G9650) didn't show the VoLTE option under Settings -> Connections -> Mobile Networks. That was with a ROM from Panama. In the meantime, my wife's S8 (SM-G950F) did show it.
I tried installing a G9650 ROM from Colombia since they have a mobile provider with VoLTE, but nothing changed. I then tried a Hong Kong ROM (where pretty much *all* providers offer VoLTE), and the button appeared in the notifications area. However, when I try to enable it I get "VoLTE is not supported by your current software version".
Any suggestions? Thanks
VoLTE is really a country specific feature. Hong Kong version won’t support China’s Volte, though China Mobile operates both in Hong Kong and mainland China

Ouch... Unfortunately the SM-G9650 isn't even sold by European carriers. Any ideas?
Thanks
If you're going to live on the Netherlands sell it and buy the European version or stick with the SD without VoLTE.

Is there no ROM I can install on my Snapdragon S9+ that will allow me to use VoLTE in the Netherlands? I see no reason for the phone to be incompatible if it supports all the bands, etc.
Thanks

Can you download Phone Info Samsung and tell us which CSC is your phone currently using?

Active CSC Code: TPA
CSC Country: Panama / PA
Mobile Operator: Tele2 NL / 20402
Remove your SIM Card, do a Hard Reset, boot the device, insert your SIM Card then it should factory reset again and start with another CSC.

It's supposed that it'll do.
Did this work for anyone? (Remove the sim, insert etc) I'm aiming to get VoLTE on tmobile and need to change the CSC code as well.

That wont work, the CSC is embedded into the firmware for that specific region. Unless you change the firmware to the region you're in you're out of luck. In some cases the CSC is also carrier specific even in the same region.

I'll go with the US997 since its officially supported for BL unlock. :good: although the H872 can be unlocked too. :good:

I agree. Only I really suggest staying away from the H872 - if only because it's a pain in the ass to root correctly and you run the risk of accidentally loosing your LAF partition (download mode) making it next to impossible to KDZ back to a stock image later. US997 is much more straightforward.

And staying away would also include the US Cellular version, yes? Not the same hootie, right?

I came across a phone seller says it's a us997. Only more info he has given is LGUS997AUSAPL, GSM, nothing else.
Guys with that is there a way to know if this is the unlocked us997 and not the US cellular nor the Amazon version.

This is the model of the (correct) 997 at best buy: Model:LGUS997.AUSABK SKU:5870305
That's the one I have, but the phone itself says only: On my phone it says just US997BK
I'd suggest asking them to run the imei number on this website: http://www.imeipro.info/check_lg.html
All you need to know from the results is (one the esn is clean, of course) what the Buyer Code / Buyer name is - it will either be USA or AMZ (AMAZON).
They should be able to do that for you, you'd think.

That device does not allow for bootloader unlock. Only the 997 purchased by buyer USA is bootloader unlock.
Is it cdma? Not sure there, I'd check the LG website to verify that. I had an Amazon one that was cdma, but I'm pretty sure the ones for t-mo are gsm only. US Cellular? I have no idea..

Phone model is SM-N950U, but it shows SM-N9500 in Smart Switch

In addition, when I want to check software, it says "Your current software isn't supported. Visit a service centre". It also shows China baseband version, but in about phone it shows USA baseband version. Any suggestions?
What happened before that? Is it rooted, did you buy it and know nothing about it? Is it new and nothing was done?
Where do you " check software"?
Where does it show "China baseband version"

Please answer the questions:
Is it rooted?
Did you buy it from someone and know nothing about it?
Is the phone new and you have not done anything (Root etc)?
