Not sure what you're talking about, but ROM flashing has nothing to do with sim unlocking. If you're not using an official sim for the carrier your phone came from, you have to buy an unlock pin online or try to get one from the carrier.
hmm

I bought from AT&T and came to india ...... Now it is keeping on asking for the unlock pin

One thing you can do is buy an unlock code, like check eBay, I highly doubt you'll be capable of getting software to do it
Any trustworthy ?
I was googling , I found that many might be a scam
If any one else has done this before from a good seller ...
references please ?

Fastboot oem unlock does NOT sim-unlock the phone!!!! It unlocks the bootloader!!! *facepalm*
I hear a lot of people here successfully got codes from cellunlock.net
I'm not responsible if you get scammed though

oh, that is great. how long did ATT take to give you the unlock code? What did ATT ask, apart from IMEI? ATT mobile number needed?? I don't have ATT mobile number....
ducati - same situation for me as well .. i dont have ATT SIM .,., but the phone is locked for SIM
What should i tell ATT ?
Any ideas ?
Can any one tell me, what all i need to talk to ATT for getting this pin ?
Any news, guys?

Problems Unlocking Alpha

Hello
I purchased a brand new Samsung Galaxy Alpha Direct from Vodafone UK. My sim is under Orange/EE.
I purchased a NUC code from an unlocking vendor online. I entered the correct IMEI number as requested and received the code a few days later. I entered the code and received a message saying "Network request unlock unsuccessful."
Went through troubleshooting with the vendor and could not get it working. A refund was given.
I decided to Vodafone UK to have the phone unlocked direct through them as I thought maybe a dodgy code was given. I received my code yesterday, followed the instructions and again the same message appears.
I was growing tired with this so decided to take it to an independent experienced phone unlocker/repairer and explained the situation to him. I give him the code and he tried various different things and was baffled as this should be an easy process.
The phone is running android 4.4.4
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have a phone here I cannot use :crying:
Thanks in advance!
dear same thing happened to me I post a thread on this then I get no answer , but u can use this website to unlock your phone be sure will be unlocked but try to fill information that where you already purchased your phone not where you want to use OK ?

wish that will help you
I just unlocked note 4 from Vodafone. I got 4 unlock codes. One is for sim and the other 3 for aomesthing more deeper in the sistem Just worked with the sim unlock code. My question for you is: if you tryed 2 different ( online and Vodafone) YOU SHOULD GOT THE SAME CODE FOR SIM UNLOCK because is strictly related to your IMEI. Is that the case?
P.S. 1.On Google play is a program Note 4 unlock. I got my unlock code in 50 minutes in the day of international launch of note 4. You should try that.
2. Write with Odin a stock firmware and try again your unlock code after that
3. To enter your unlock code you have to insert an non accepted sim in your phone, power up your phone and enter the code when you are asked. Did you do that?
Try this

If your phone does not ask for the unlock code:
1. Turn on the phone with original Sim card or without Sim card
2. Enter #7465625*638*NCK/Network#
The phone is now unlocked.
If your phone does not ask for the unlock code:
1. Turn on the phone with a foreign (Unaccepted) Sim card
2. Then enter the following sequence:
#0199*Unfreeze/Defreeze#
#0111*NCK/Network#
#0121*SCK/Subprovider#
#0133*SPCK/Provider#
The phone is now unlocked.

OEM Unlock not appearing after 7 days -- SM-G965F/DS (Exynos)

I have an unlocked SM-G965F/DS (Exynos) that has not shown the OEM unlock option yet. Tried:
Installing active SIM
Logging in to Google and Samsung accounts, then
Leaving the phone online for 170 hours (uptime reached ~175 hours)
I see a few other threads on the SM-G965F/DS, also indicating no OEM unlock appeared. Has anyone actually gotten the SM-G965F/DS to show an OEM unlock option?
Firmware and hardware versions:
Hardware: SM-G965FZBDXSP
CSC code: XSP
Botloader: G965FXXU1BRE6
CSC: G965FOXM1BRE6
Android Build Number: R16NW.G965FXXU1BRE6
EDIT:
Bootloader shows:
Model: G965F
RMM State: Prenormal
FRP Lock: ON
OEM Lock: ON
Is only the single-SIM 965F unlockable? Is there a recommended dual-SIM model in case I end up just sending this one back?
Appreciate any help you guys can provide!

Great, thank you for the data point. Do you happen to know the CSC and stock firmware version you had installed when the OEM unlock appeared? If I don't see the option after another 7 days I intend to ODIN over a known good CSC / firmware version.

because i have a oneplus 6 i am using. and because i require root. i dont use devices that are not rooted.
Did finally get it working. My device originally came with RMM prenormal, FRP lock off, OEM lock on. Setting up the phone normally and inserting a SIM, then waiting 7 days, did NOT work. I suspect the phone was in an abnormal state due to a partial setup by the prior owner / reseller.
What did the trick for me was to force reset the phone (lose all data) via the settings menu, have a SIM inserted, go through the full setup process (Google and Samsung accounts), then leave the phone on for 7 days. The reset caused RMM prenormal, FRP lock on, OEM lock on. After 168 hours the OEM unlock option appeared in the developer settings menu.
A little guidance here. I've only dealt with Google Nexus devices and the OnePlus One, which were ridiculously easy to unlock and put on a custom ROM. I'm currently running (yes, still) a Nexus 6P because there hasn't been a phone that really interests me. I do like the S9+, and can get a good price on a BNIB SM-G965F/DS. I just want to run AOSP on it, no frills, no thrills, just vanilla. That's how I roll. So, I'll need to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, and load up a new ROM.
With that said, all that I've read, I'm a little confused. I use t-mobile, so will I need to put in the t-mobile sim for 7 days to get OEM unlock, or will I need this done in an EU country (it is an EU version) due to the region locking Samsung has been doing since 2013? There just seems to be a lot of competing and incomplete information all over the damned place.
And don't tell me to search, please. I've been around on this forum long enough to know how to search, and long enough to know that search doesn't always yield the results you're looking for. So, if you have a link to a more descriptive explanation of what to do/expect, I'd be grateful.
Thanks.
EDIT: Found this: https://www.xda-developers.com/fix-...y-s9-samsung-galaxy-s8-samsung-galaxy-note-8/
Maybe that would work... but still don't understand if I need it activated on an EU SIM first.. Now I remember why I've avoided Samsung devices...

Oem unlock isnt gonna do anything for the device. Its kind of pointless to do for now.
HELP! OEM Unlock came up after 7 days. I turned it on, and it said that doing so will erase data... yadda yadda, and then it restarted, wiped, and then rebooted. ... No OEM Unlock in the menu anymore and back to RMM STATE: Prenormal.
WTF??

Multiple guides to either TWRP/root or ROM s9+ involve manually restarting the phone BEFORE samsung auto restarts your phone.
In other words, don't let the force restart from samsung go through, and manually restart it the moment you press OK to factory wipe and restart
EDIT: also make sure you have signed out of google before going into DL mode to TWRP phone, as this does the "FRP lock" from what I personally understand and Odin won't let you TWRP with FRP lock on. This was my 2nd mistake (and second 7-day lockout). First mistake was what you did, by letting samsung beat you at restarting phone.

Thanks. I got through it all a while back now. You have to be lightning quick. So dumb. This will most likely be my last Samsung device. There are other options that are much less hassle to do this work on.

Can't get the miss OEM unlocking option back on G965F

Sorry about post a new thread about this again, but my situation seems a little weird.
I got an S9+, from Australia Optus (but I'm in China), with the latest firmware, trying to get the missing "oem unlocking" option back but failed.
In download mode, both OEM and frp is off , RMM state: prenormal.
My procedure is:
1. Reset the phone without SIM card.
2. After finishing the whole setup and get into the destop, I plug in the sim card. (but didn't login google or samsung account, because I can't connect to google service. So if I want to get through the setup, I can't plug in the sim card or connect to Wifi.)
3. Then I connect wifi and login in samsung account to restore my backup.
4. Open Developer Options.
5. Wait 7 days. (the uptime is over 168 hrs, even over 300 hrs)
6. the "oem unlocking" is still missing .
Or the phone must online "the whole" 7 days?
Because sometimes the phone will lose the network in subway.
And the swiching between network and wifi won't make a difference, right?
I've already consult the Australia samsung customer-service, can't help me online. And the Samsung Centre in China didn't have the access to fix an S9+ sold in Australia.
Hope somebody can help me to fix this, I want to install a third party ROM.
You have to reset your device while the sim card is in the device , then in the setup you have to log in to your both google and samsung accounts , then wait 7 days , and it should appear , if it doesnt appearing simply use google to check how to fix the missing OEM Unlock option

thanks! I'll try in this way.
so to clarify, whats the problem when you just leave the sim in, restore/wipe phone, login to google account, then wait 7 days and check dev options ?

You should flash the original fw (mine is optus) and leave the phone without a sim inside, connected to wifi, on all the time. Plugging the chinese sim might not unlock it.
