Hey there, I want to sim unlock this Gs8 I got from Sprint, Model: Sm-G950U , Software version: G950USQS2BQL1, I received an unlock code but was not able to input the code because it just said sim error contact sprint immediately, Unlocking by sprint isn't a choice as they extorted money out of me, I really want my galaxy s8 to be in service again any Idea where to start? Any help will be much appreciated , I come from a background of good software knowledge so other approaches are good too.
Sprint extorted money out of you?
Extortion is illegal in this country...
Does your phone asks for codes or not?
If it doesn't ask for code you can try the following 3 methods, however, they are not 100% guarantee to work:
Method #1: Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press #7465625*638*# Once prompted for code, enter the 8 digit Unlock Code.
Method #2: Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE#
Method #3: Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #0111*UNLOCKCODE#
If none of these work, also check if your phone's IMEI is clean and not reported or blacklisted by Sprint.
Sprint phones are usually unlocked one of two ways and neither has anything to do with a code. One is via Sprint with an OTA thing. The other is via root + a 3rd party tool like z3x, Octopus, or something similar.

Need to SIM unlock Sprint galaxy s8 (also fear it may be "black listed" unpaid lease)
I bought the phone from someone and thought it would work but I was trusting instead of smart.. Should've checked it out first. Anyways im negative a couple hundred $$ and I would love if some one would be able to help guide me through unlocking the SIM and if necessary rooting etc. To make it work for my Metro PCS account. In short I need to be able to I assume "SIM unlock" my S8 and hope it'll just be ready to pop my metro SIM into it and it works. Any advice? Will it work if I can just unlock it and use my metro SIM? Or since its an the lease hadnt been fully paid will that be a problem... Ive checked on a couple sites that let you see the IMEI number and if its black listed but it isn't... Please help.

Correct. It IS an advertisement - and not a very good one. He obviously has no knowledge of phones whatsoever if he thinks that Sprint devices use codes
I too have a Sprint phone which I wanted to unlock with the help of information here on the site. Since you won't be able to use unlock codes, and also bcause when I called Sprint they wouldn't help me -told me to contact the seller of the phone to have it unlocked, I was desperate for any unlocking method. Hard to find a working one and didn't want to waste too much time (old Galaxy S5 was already at it's last breath) I made contact with one of the unlockers here on XDA and one was able to unlock it remotely for me. I did pay $15 but with the crappy internet I have and since most unlocking sites are asking $39 for unlocking S8 then I really didn't mind this $15. Took well over a few hours to do since I had to download combination file for my phone which took a while. It's unlocked now thanx to vosi7en here at xda. I do have 1 problem now and that's tethering.....I don't have the option to do any hotspots. Anyone have an idea? I can't root yet cuz I'm on latest Oreo now.

Dis you get it unlocked? I'm having the same issue.
Hello!
So I've been going through a saga of getting the right phone and even through googling its hard to decipher exactly what i need given my experience.
I'll provide some details and where I'm at or at the bottom i'll give a TLDR.
I live in the US have AT&T and I want a rooted S7.
Got a S7 for xmas, after doing some research found out that model isn't rootable (SM-G930).
Returned it got one I found was rootable SM-G930W8, said unlocked, and I saw on a few resources it was compatible with AT&T.
Rooted the w8 beautifully, got my new sim card and no signal.
Put in #7465625*638*# and said "Carrier Locked"
Worked with an unlock service, they looked up my phone to tell me exactly what it was, have the code on deck.
Enter code, crickets but possible my sim card doesn't work or i need to try on the stock rom.
Got a new new sim card, no signal. Erased my root and went stock data wipe, no signal.
Tried my best to find stock firmware that lined up with the info the unlock company gave, no signal.
Now, given all that information, can anyone recommend me a model? Just want it to be rootable and work with AT&T.
I'd appreciate any comments on my experience too because clearly i messed up somewhere or the phones sim card reader was busted etc.
TL;DR : I'm USA & AT&T. I want an s7 that is rootable. Had an episode with my previous attempts and would love a guru's advice.
The sm-g930w8 is the same model sold by all carriers in Canada.
Does the phone have a clean imei? Sim card works in another phone?

The old s7 has been sent back so I can't really answer that question.
Nor can I answer the sim card works, because i dont have an extra phone that uses that type.
I did go to the AT&T store to ask if they could check my sim card with an extra phone they have.
Apparently they don't have extra phones ready for that type of nature??? (wtf???)
So I got a new sim card activated from them to see if the s7 would take it, it didn't.
Still just sounds carrier unlocked to me, what service were you using to try unlock it?
Otherwise the G930F is the international model and easiest to mod.
Only concern you'd have is the US uses a different network standard to the rest of the world, so your 3G/4G won't work as well on a non-US device.
EDIT: There also seems to be some root methods for the US models:

So to give more details.
I installed the Superman Rom, put the # in to input the carrier code. At the top, in all caps, above the input for the code "CARRIER LOCKED".
Would the superman rom mess with that? or show bad info? not sure
What i do know is that i factory reset the phone, tried the # to get the prompt didn't work.
Tried a few alternatives, same one with the actual network code in it, the 1101, both didn't work.
The company is "Unlock Scope"
Is the imei of the w8 clean?
The w8 should work with at&t when unlocked.

So I'm not 100% sure but..
When I was originally using the unlock service they needed the original carrier information, which I didn't know, so they asked for the IMEI so they could look it up.
They emailed a full list of details on it and I'd think that it would of been flagged in that process, assuming though.
So the w8 is now unlocked through the unlocking service?
Here's a link to the swappa imei checker: https://swappa.com/esn

Edit:
Checked and it came clear.
Was the phone sold as being unlocked? Is the seller able to give you any carrier information about he phone?
Are you able to change the csc by entering this into the dialler: *#272*Phone’s IMEI Here# ?

US phone, you can use any other company. Go hit up a cell store at your pick. Where r u located?
In in the US, Virginia specifically. So since VZ is the other major option in my area I can go to a store and buy just a sim card with no hassle?

So I just use the non AT&T Sim only as long as the unlocking process takes, eh? So that means I put my current Sim back in it? And if that's the case, will I be able to use my phone in areas with little or no AT&T coverage without having to swap out Sims?
Did I mention that this is my first time unlocking a phone? LoL

So if you have to swap Sims, I may as well buy the non AT&T Sim and use it for the unlocking process, as well, right?
Vermont, you say? Never been. I'll take your word that it's wonderful.

You could yes as if u want [email protected] network u have to use their sim and say if u want to use T Mobile You insert their sim
So yea if you say want to use theirs as if you dont have signal and plan on purchasing their "plan"
So, technically, if you use the non AT&T Sim you would have to pay to use their network? Wow, should have saw that coming. Lol Nothing is free. Well now I feel kind of stupid. Oh well, live and learn I suppose.

yes. now, keep in mind, as this is the AT&T variant, its unlocked for GSM only .so if ur switching carriers, make sure it says GSM. Sim cards that use CDMA wont work like Verizon or Sprint.

Well, I can't switch carriers. Not sure I'd want to anyway. But other than being able to switch to any carrier (and have to pay to do so) is there no other benefits of unlocking a phone?
Not really. It just allows other carriers to work. And it will have a higher resale value as it's not just tied to AT&T.
Oh ok. Thanks for the info. I can say I learned something, if nothing else.

Well, it it's unlocked, able to use any other GSM networks now, functionally it is now a 'universal' phone, as most out of US carriers are GSM. That is one important need for me.
I have a Sprint S7 (SM-G930P) that's never been activated and would like to unlock it and change the firmware so that I can use it on Verizon. Is this possible?
Specifically, would it be an issue since the phone has never been activated? It has a clean IMEI and after calling Sprint, they have no records of the phone in their database.
I would think if its not on their system then the lock isn't yet active, isn't the IMEI how carriers control device network access? What happens if you put in the Verizon SIM, even on Sprint firmware if the device isn't locked it'll run without your carriers firmware.
That's what I thought. I'll put a Verizon SIM in it later and see what happens. In theory, I should be able to flash Verizon's firmware to the phone as is without any problem, right?

If the phone is paid for (the contract completed or bought out) then all you have to do is call the original carrier and they can unlock it. If it's not paid for than you have to probably pay
The phone is paid for. I bought it outright last Christmas. I was going to give it to my son, but ended up going a different route and it was never activated. I called Sprint yesterday and they told me they had no record of my IMEI number.

Paid for an unlocking service on eBay. I’ve used them several times. They unlocked it via the MetroPCS unlock app (not really an app because they’ve built it in to the actual OS on the A20 under more network settings). So it’s an official unlock not some remote in to your PC scam thing.

Did you activated your A20 before you sent IMEI for unlocking or not? I have mine A20 and it's still not activated, dunno what I should do first ?
It doesn't matter as long as you have the metro unlock app installed.

I'm guessing almost all the MetroPCS A20s on craigslist were given "free with contract" so the initial 24-month contract is not up yet (your case may be different). In that case, I'd expect MetroPCS(Tmo) to eventually put the MEID onto their blacklist. The carriers used to honor each others' blacklists, which could cause Vz to shut off service in the future.
That said, I bought a craigslist Boost G4 a few years ago, which was not accepted by Sprint but has worked fine on Tmo and ATT ever since. So maybe they are not sharing blacklists anymore.
So I look at the ebay link, did you paid 64$ to unlock this device? really
Did u just have a Verizon sim card that u put in the phone? Because I have the same phone and I got it unlocked thru metro but I tried to use a Verizon sim card thru straight talk and it didnt work. Would I just have to get a sim card straight thru verizon and do it that way? Where I'm at I don't get very good service thru t mobile but other ppl have great service with Verizon

For anyone interested. The updated terms through metro for unlocking the carrier on an Android just involves paying more than $100 on your phones bill.
My A20 is free to unlock in about 10 days or so.
MetroPCS version of the A20
Have you activated the MetroPCS version of the A20 before you sent IMEI to unlock it, mine was not activated. as per my knowledge, Verizon SIM cards work with the following phones such as Verizon iPhone, Verizon Galaxy phone or other unlocked CDMA phones. and it won't be compatible with ATT or GSM phones. I want to get my hands on new MetroPCS as my last phone was way too old and wanted to know whether MetroPCS open near me or not.
