[Completed] How can I find out the carrier the phone is locked to? - XDA Assist

I got a sim-free phone Samsung Galaxy J1 SM-100H from the UK and am based in Africa. I do not know the carrier the phone is locked to as it says SIM network unlock code when I put in a local sim. How can i find out the carrier the phone is locked to? And is it possible I can unlock it online for free or for a cost? Thanks..!

Well ... you can ask the previous owner ... if available.
I guess not.
There is not much about this device/model on xda.
I found only this thread: How to root Galaxy J1?! by MiHawkBeast.
Maybe you can register on xda and ask there.
Or in the [HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly. by immortalneo.
Hopefully someone there has a clue what to do.

If it has a Simlock you need a Sim from that provider to use with or else you can't call someone and they can't call you.
If you Unlocked it, you can simply use any Sim card from every country, But you need to sim unlock it.

[Completed] Help needed to buy sim network unlock code - samsung galaxy core prime

My friend have got Samsung Galaxy Core Prime (SM-G361F) as a gift. It is bought from UK and have sim network lock in it. Device have got bricked when trying to root it. So i flashed G361FXXU1AOH4_G361FLUX1AOG1_LUX firmware downloaded from sam mobile through odin and its working now. Still the sim network lock is there. Now we need to buy an unlock code for this and all the sites asked country of origin and carrier. Is it still UK or Luxemburg? Also pls reccomend a trustworthy unclocking service if you know.
Thank you for using XDA Assist.

You should actually be asking your question in your device specific forum located here
As far as recommending some one for the service we do not do that here on XDA, but you can always read what other users have done in the section.
Good Luck

You need to input the Apn manually, on Settings, to be able to get network working.
Try the procedure of the tmobile....

Hi Everyone,
Wondering if anyone has been able to root this Samsung Galaxy S8 SCV36 Japan AU variant. Mine is currently on Android Oreo 8.0
AU will unlock your phone for you for about 3000 yen. In my case, I paid for my phone upfront so I did not have to wait 100 days. I had my Note 8 unlocked so I could use it in the US. I was able to use an AT&T prepaid SIM in my Japanese phone. Info from AU is below.

Unfortunately I can't. I think the true owner of the phone is required for unlocking it. I need different ways to unlock it. Can I just install another samsung s8+ firmware to this phone?

Can i just flash a rom that is SM-950FD to this phone? This rom has a dual sim feature but the SC-03J only has one sim. Will this work? i mean its okay even if its just one sim i just want it to work on my country.
Here are the difference in hardware:

No. There's no firmware or ROM that will SIM unlock it.
You'll need to have the original owner unlock the phone for you OR purchase the phone already unlocked - no software can unlock it for you.
Docomo and Softbank are extremely strict when it comes to unlocking a phone, you need to have an account with them for a few months, pay off the phone, and you'll be able to unlock the phone. If you don't then having it unlocked *remotely* is out of the question unless you sent it to someone who can unlock it for you.
Sorry to revive the thread after so long.
I have similar situation. I have a NTT Docomo s8+. I have unlocked it as well, it now works with my ATT sim in USA.
problem is the annoying Docomo apps in Japanese.
I am not able to rid of it completely.
Can I flash a US-Unlocked stock ROM or any custom ROM ?
pls let me know how.
Pls note my phone is Snapdragon based, (unfortunately most ROMs are for Exynos version).
