I recently purchased a samsung galaxy s6, locked to Bell Mobility (my sim is rogers). I bought my unlock code through onemanwireless, but I made a very stupid mistake and followed the instructions for t-mobile phones and installed the factory firmware found here, http://onemanwireless.com/TMobile_Galaxy_S6_Edge_unlock.htm. After I realized my mistake I reinstalled the factory firmware for Bell, which I found on this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841.
However, the unlock code was still unsuccessful, so I followed the other three solutions found on onemanwireless, http://onemanwireless.com/instructions.php#samsung.
When I dialed *#197328640#, I was in the debugging screen, but I didn't have the eight option for phone control.
When I dialed *2767*3855# and *7465625*638*#, nothing happened.
I've checked the IMEI and it's the correct one for my s6. I've already gotten the network code incorrect eight times, so I want to know if I'm limited to a specific number of tries before my phone cannot be unlocked again?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hello guys!
Recently i unlock my Galaxy S using the Galaxy_S Unlock app from the market (i've read a thread about it here).
And i've been using my phone with Personal Argentina (a carrier from Argentina) for a few days now, but today i start getting the Phone not allowed MM#6 error.
I bought the phone in Canada, and it was locked for Rogers.
I have a few questions :
is this IMEI related?, i think that the unlock method does something to the IMEI, and i tried to restore the backup that i've created with the app, but it says that there's nothing to restore..
There is any known solutions?, i've been searching the forums but no one seems to know how to fix this issue.
I've also bought the DaGentooBoy App for unlocking the Phone (it was about 5 dollars), but it doesn't fix my problem.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT :
I just read this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863209
where should i post this question?
Omg this forum moves so fast, i'm at 3rd page already.
I'll up this thread one more time to see if anyone can help me.
I've done some attemps using this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162
Before doing that i flash back to 2.1 stock using Odin, and after those steps i got this generic IMEI :
004999010640000
That;s not my Phone's IMEI, and it's blocked by the Carriers in Argentina, so i can't use my phone.
Any ideas?, maybe some keyword that i can search on Google?
Thanks!
I'm in Bolivia. I have a samsung galaxy s, I unlocked with SUperOneClick (for rooting) and sgs tool to unlock it. Then after using a local carrier for about two weeks my phone got the mm#6 error. I was looking for solutions, and then my brother realized that I have to register the phone with the line (IMEI with line). Here in Bolivia exists a law that block phones if they are not registered at someones name and Id. So with nothing to lose, I called assitance of the carrier and register the IMEI I found in the Android menu (About phone>status>IMEI) with the GSM chip/line I have. Wait for 20 minutes and voilá! phone got signal and it's working now. I hope still working from now and on. SO IF YOU HAVE THIS TROUBLE CALL YOUR CARRIER AND REGISTER YOUR PHONE'S IMEI WITH THE LINE YOU ARE USING, IT'S SIMPLE. YOU CAN TRY THAT BEFORE GETTING INTO SOFTWARE STUFF.
HOPE THIS HELP SOMEBODY.
GOOD LUCK!
Dear fellows,
I got a Alcatel One Touch Evolve 5020T (T-mobile) from US as a gift.
When I put my India's SIM card into it, it says network locked.
On searching XDA (and other) forums, I learnt that the SIM slot is locked. In MTK Engineering mode, the option of SIM ME lock (unlock) is grayed out.
I tried to use SP Flash tools using the scatter file but I get an error - Secure Baseband. Need auth file. I dont know where to get this auth file from.
I tried using Alcatel One Touch Upgrade S 2.8.0 software as well. I used the model number - 5020. But the moment I connect my switched-off phone, it says - "Read terminal information failed, Unplug device, remove battery and try again..." [Screenshot attached]
Questions:
1. Is there anyway to reset the firmware...so that the SIM ME Lock menu can re-appear?
2. I have the NCK code with me (from a trustable source), is there anyway to directly push it to the phone and unlock it?
3. Are there any special tools available to directly unlock this phone?
I am not an expert at this, but have working knowledge of linux/android.

Hello All,
I am new to rooting phones and recently tried something on a galaxy S2. I had a korean version of S2 model SHW-250s which was locked. I lost my new phone so tried unlocking this myself...looked at some youtube videos some blogs and finally decided to use this method posted by someone:
1)Flash these two files using ODIN to convert the korean model into international version :
GTI9100_ext4.pit
9100XWLPW_I9100ODDLPC_I9100DDLPB_HOME.tar.md5 (stock ICS firmware for my country).
This successfully converted my phone to S2i9100.
2)Then to unlock I used a siyah kernel as posted by a developer :: Siyah-v3.2b8
This successfully installed SU and i checked using RootChecker apps that there is root access.
3)Then to unlock my phone i used GalaxSimUnlock app (did rooting as this app required root access)
This successfully unlocked my phone. I was able to call receive messages with new carrier.
I installed some more general apps used it for 5 days.
Sudddenly i started facing network issues. I was not able to make or receive calls. Strangely, I was getting data connection from network but not able to make or receive calls. I could not register on any network.
I tried running GalxSimUnlock app again and it said Unable to read NV data.Since I was naive i tried reinstalling the stock ROM and SIYAH kernel to see if it helps. It didnt.
When i researched further i came to know there's probably something wrong in the NV_data.bin file in EFS . But i hadnt taken backup of EFS previously. Now can anythng be done to restore the EFS and make the phone work? Please help me....
When i run GalaxSimUnlock app it shows everything in green except IMEI number which it blinks in red. But I am able to see a IMEI number and it doesnt look like something default. I am getting everything else MAC id, baseband version etc.
Thanks everybody...please forgive my language if not upto the mark as i am pretty naive about this stuff.

Hey Buddy....Thanks for replying....i just saw you have written you flashed the original ROM on your device again...but as I wrote I have flashed another ROM and didnt take back up of original one and cannot find the SKT korea S2 ROm for this one...Is it ok if i employ the procedure told by you without flashing original ROM...what is CSC? Is there anything else you wanna tell me before i start the process? please forgive for my ignorance Im quite new to all this...
You will have to ask on the thread I linked regarding the Rom. You will have the right experts for your device there.
CSC is sales code., you can check your ROM CSC by dialling *#1234# . First two digits represents country and last three represents release time.
ok thanks...i will post the question there
Per Suggestion from my Collegue @It_ler,
The kernel you have is older. Latest SiyahKernel for the stock JB ROM he has on his device is SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1.
If you have questions about the kernel, then use the [KERNEL][REF][Q&A] Siyah 5.0+[ICS/CM10] 6.0b5+[JB/CM10.1] +DISCUSSION+. NON-DEV!!! (SiyahKernel discussion) thread.

You may wish to post in Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting so that the right experts may be of help.
I do believe if the phone is working on all the other carriers Other than Bell then it might be an issue with Wind's Sim Card. Sometime you need to get a newer sim for newer Smartphones.
I've dug through threads for hours already, can't seem to find this specific issue, apologies if it's out there somewhere.
The story:
Vacationing in Canada, phone is on sprint's network in the USA.
Enabled international account settings with sprint before leaving the USA.
Turned on international call and data upon arrival in canada.
Worked fine for a few hours.
Then started rebooting.
I did see an error for firmware unable to download.
Now it is in a boot loop.
I believe it attempted to update another networks version of the firmware and failed, corrupted, and has now left me in this position.
Sprint will not support this, as their towers can not connect to the device (no sprint in canada)
Samsung support will not help in canada because it's a USA bought phone.
I know all i really need to do is flash it with the latest firmware, that's what a tech would do right now.
Attempts to use Kies has failed, the macbook i have available reboots when it's run.
Attempts to use Odin have failed - an auth failure.
I would like to flash it from the SD card - is this possible? (download firmware, transfer to SD, mount the SD,
then using the boot menu, and "install update from SD" - seems like the solution ya?
and if so.. anyone have a good link for SM-g900p marshmallow that isn't a paid user account required mirror? I just paid 5.99 for a mirror that is SLOW AS SNOT, 49kb/s, and pulling down a 1.5gb file.. literally days to download this firmware. There has to be a better host out there.
PLEASE HELP I"M DESPERATE AND WITHOUT A LIFELINE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. Thank youuu.
