Was anyone able to unlock your S6?
I bought mine in Germany and it is locked to all of the European networks.
I've order an unlock code from 5 different unlocking sites but no one can unlock it yet.
I'm in the exact same situation, and would love to know how.
someone??
same problem here with g920f from usa.
can you tell us from where you tried to buy the codes? (so we won't buy from them)
I successfully unlocked my S6 Edge through cellunlocker.net
which module do you have?
we need to buy manufacturer code or all usa network from there?

What do you mean by "which module"?

g920f / g920i / g920t and etc...

Hi there,
I was able to unlock mine two weeks ago using www.unlockunit.com. It wasn't locked on a German network, but it worked. You can try them too, maybe it works.

Can I install an unlocked firmware on a device locked to a network?
If it is compatible then yes!

What do you mean by compatible? I know that the firmware must be to my model (SM-G920F).
What I am thinking to do is to apply the firmware United Kingdom BTU. My device is from Vodafone Portugal.
No one has a answer?
The answer is YES... You can

After a bit more of investigation I have read that in some older samsung devices (galaxy S4, ...) putting an unlocked firmware on a branded phone could lead to problems. IS this still the case?

Hi Raimundo , I'm from Portugal and I have a MEO version and I wanted to know the same . I think we have to waited for the unbranded one...

There is already a unbranded one, not for Portugal but for United Kingdom. My reason to do this is to remove the carrier crap and see if I can get a better battery life.

Since the hardware is the same I don't think it does any difference if the firmware is for Portugal or United Kingdom. My only doubt is related to the branded phone with unlocked firmware. Still I would like someone with more experience to shed some light in this matter.
No one care to comment on the possibility of problems in putting an unlocked ROM into a branded phone (locked to a network)?
Yes you can but your device is still locked to the network it came on unless you unlock with a unlock code.

I have installed the firmware and until now no problems. No carrier crap
Now lets see if I see any battery consumption difference!
Last year's S7/S7edge had a different model number for each carrier (G935A/T/V/P/R4), but this year they all seem to be using the 955U model with different CSCs for each carrier.
I noticed on SamMobile there's an unbranded firmware available for the G955U with the XAS CSC, what CSC is that? Generic?
The reason I ask this is that because these US variant phones get imported to Pakistan and some people buy them since they're cheaper than the officially sold G955F models here, so if a G955U gets imported here which for example was previously used on T-Mobile in the USA, if one flashes the XAS ROM, will it basically be an unbranded Snapdragon 835 S8+ or is removing the carriers CSC not possible?
All replies will be appreciated.
Cheers

The U version is locked and not able to root. It's used by all USA carriers and they probably made it locked down due to Samsung pay. At some point a root crack will surface but it probably won't be stable

I don't need root though.
Just the possibility of flashing an unbranded ROM with no bloat, something that won't be used with US carriers.

You cannot flash firmware without rooting on this device. That's my point. When you try flashing in Odin, nothing happens. That's why you cannot root or even flash things. Got it? You need root in this case.
I think we are after the same thing; xas is sprint from my understanding. xaa should be the "unlocked" carrier neutral you are looking for. There is a thread in the s8 forum where some people had success flashing parts of the Canadian firmware then refreshing parts of us firmware they had quasi obtained this but I have yet to try
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/rd-carrier-switch-root-snapdragon-t3597473
I read somewhere that only G955f models can change CSC firmware using Odin.
G955U models won't be able to... I could be wrong...
Then again, we won't really know until someone buys the U model and tries it out for themselves.

What did you find out?
What did you find out? I'll try it with mine but I need help. I am by no means a schooled veteran in the world of command lines and tech talk but I can follow direction. I've managed to unbrick a couple LGLS 675 and bypass frp (for myself) a couple hundred times. I'll post a screen shot of my about phone if you guys are interested.

im using a 955f (so could be different on your phone), but just turn the phone around, on mine the S/N stands printed on the bottom of the backside, you can slightly see it ->here<-
and also I'm really not sure about that, but i believe some Serial/IMEI/whatever-numbers do stand in download mode
EDIT: By what i've found google'in, on the 955U, just the IMEI is printed. Sorry

You said Verizon. If it is EE you contact them and they will SIM and bootloader unlock it. Assuming the contract has been fulfilled.
unfortunately, ee uk told me that the phone status is "stolen", i bought it from ebay i have to return it before buyer protection end

Oh dear . Me thinks you should be getting in touch with the cops and reporting the seller to ebay. Some poor sod needs their phone back.

As stated in that article "This method will not provide you with a T-Mobile SIM unlock."
If you want it sim unlocked you need to contact T-Mobile.

Not that I know of, but you can read/ask here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/t-mobile-bootloader-unlock.4181339/
I would recommend buying a non locked version though. Especially if you live in the eu.

you wouldn't have bootloader unlock and therefore no root, you posted this in the wrong section BTW.

currently one service can't unlock the newer firmwares and the other is on hiatus, maybe for the same reason.

Hello friends,
Recently I moved to Canada, I have the international model, G781B, I was wondering if it is possible to flash the canadian variant. Reason: 5G didnt work so far, tryied everything to make it work, even manually configuration of Bell network.
Comparing at the gsmarena.com, the hardware looks like the same.
I'm almost giving up and buying a new phone.

Most likely your carries uses mmwave 5g network, and international S20 FE 5g uses the other spectrums for 5g. There is no way a software flfash can change anyting, and I do not think that you can even flash software for thw wrong phone model, as odin check the BL version prior to flashing
