Hi team,
I have just successfully rooted my Galaxy S4 and wanted to continue with me new S6 Model SM-G9200. When pressing the buttons to go into download mode, the screen turns light blue with a message to "Unlock" the phone first and ask Samsung.com/cn (which of course is pointless). The phone has no Sim lock and I really wonder if anyone had the same problem and how to solve it.
Carrier is China Mobile Hong Kong.
Thanks for any advice you may have.
Cheers!

Sorry to hear about your trouble. If you bought your device from a China or HongKong carrier, it may have a locked bootloader. We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist, but fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the Samsung Galaxy S6 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6 which would be a good starting place. I suggest you post your question with all relevant details in the friendly Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/locked-bootloader-t3079666 where the experts familiar with your device will be best able to guide you. There is already a thread in that forum that might be relevant to your concerns at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/locked-bootloader-t3079666.

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 originally on EE and I had it unlocked to 3. I am unable to do an update as via WiFi and I am presented with the following message, "The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorised way. Try downloading software updates using Smart Switch on your PC or visit a customer service centre".
I have been told that the unlocking of the phone has resulted in me not being able to use smart switch and that the phone is no longer connected to the Samsung servers.
The build number is LRX22G.G920FXXU1AOCY
I am using Android 5.0.2. at the moment.
Help with this matter is appreciated.

"Root my phone" she says, "It will be great" she says...That is what my girlfriend asked me but now I have her phone bricked and can't get it running again. Have rooted multiple android devices before but this one has stumped me. Tried to get old 4.4.4 OS on it using Odin and now I cannot get any OS on it. Even the original stock OS I cannot get loaded on, which I would happily take.
Things you should know:
-Samsung Galaxy S5 Verizon edition
-Using Odin v 3.10.06
-Using md5 and .tar SM-G900V
-Phone can go into Recovery/Download Mode
-Odin sees phone and recognizes it, but when trying to load on OS it gives error failed.
Ask me for any other info, I would be happy to get it rooted, not rooted, custom ROM, just anything to get it running again.
Thank you very much.

Thanks a bunch, will do.
Hi all folks. Its been now almost one week(I've lost count of the opened tabs in my browser ) since I've started looking for a unlocking solution on my GT I9195(LTE version). Its locked on EE and according to some sources there is really no free method to unlock this particular device on this particular carrier. BUT, through my research I've found that I should mess up with PERSO SHA256 menu, which is not available on my device. So to make it available, according gurnted, I should flash MDL ROM and Baseband of my device, but I really have no clue what MDL stands for in the first place, let alone finding from where I do get these firmwares.
So, I would really like if someone could help me get directions and clues about these firmwares for my device...
Thanks XDA for making possible such a great place on the Internet.
Best regards.
