Hello everybody,
I need some of your help to discover what is the problem with my smartphone,
I bought a code to unlock my galaxy s5 g900t (a friend bought it in USA and he gave me-we're in Perú, he told me that the mobile was locked),
The problem is that when i put another carrier sim in my galaxy s5, it doesn't ask for the code :S
i want to know what are the possible asnwers to fix it :S
Please, help me because i want to use it in Perú,
Thanks,
Bye
Hi xda, it's been a while since I've been here and looking around has me scratching my head a little.
Anyway I have just purchased a galaxy s6 from eBay foolishly thinking it would be easy to remove the simlock but after a little reading I'm beginning to think I may have made a mistake. I'm not sure what network the phone is locked to as I have not yet received it and the listing states in the title O2 but the description says Vodafone, all I know is the model begins G920F. I thought maybe rooting and flashing a stock firmware would remove the simlock but after reading it looks like this is not the case. I then read also about "tripping knox" which sounds like something I don't want to be doing.
Root is probably something I will be looking to do in the future but not essential right now but I would be very grateful if somebody could tell me the best way to go about putting my virgin sim in this phone.
Please help
Thanks Peter.
I thought the 920F is the facotry unlocked international version so any sim would work.
When are you receiving this? Where are you trying to make this work.

Most European providers don't simlock, so you will most likely just have a provider rom, they are easy to replace with a generic stock rom
He is sending the phone out first class tomorrow so I'll report back after I have received it. I'll be using it in the UK, hopefully I'll get lucky and just be able to use it as soon as I get it. Thanks for the replies people.
Try buying an unlock code from one of the many reputable online unlockers.
I am also in the same boat. I bought samsung galaxy s6 sm-g920f model from malaysia and now when I insert indian sim its say its locked and asking for unlock code. I am just worried now. i am thinking if i can flash stock indian firmware sm-g920i to realease the lock.

no you need an unlock code
Well I received the phone today and it seems I don't have to worry about the simlock as it's a bloody counterfeit!!! Grrrrrrrrrr, in the middle of a dispute atm but hopefully I'll receive a refund. Anybody that wants to help please see this thread...

Hello guys i'm new here and did look for my problem but didn't find much
i brought a galaxy S5 sprint G900P the guy that sold it to me told me it was a non-contract phone
i check the imei back then and it was clean even though i coudn't activate it.
...still i used SSU to unlock the sim on 4.4.2
i wanted today to update to the 5.0 version i checked the imei again just by luck and i found it fraudlent and activation blocked --
my question is can i update to 5.0 will it be okey or will it get blocked and will i be able to use the sim with ssu or Galaxt Tools.
i live outside the US.
thank you.
Hello,
My brother just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S6 G920K by Olleh and he did not realized if the phone cannot use provider in our country, Indonesia.
Is there a way to make the sim card in Indonesia work for the phone? I am totally new on this and I heard we have to unlock the phone. How do you do that? Should I bring to Samsung Centre?
We watched on Youtube that we can change the firmware from G920K to G920F. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thabks in advance!!! Need your helps.
Hi everyone,
I'm a totally novice in phone transformation but I heard that i could probably kill the verizon protection throught a root on my phone.
I bought that Galaxy J7 as a prepaid phone in USA, but now i'm back in france and i can't use it here cause i can't join the network.
Yesterday I tried to install a new firmware but nothing change.
I've downloaded Odin; looked for some new rom but i'm a bit lost.
What should I look for ?
Is a new rom able to unlock that protection ? In that case, which one should I choose which would be compatible with my model ?
Cause i saw that i'm working with a J737VPP, but that don't make much sense to me. Must I choose only 737VPP firmware ? Or must I precisly instal an other one ?
Thanks for you help ! :angel:
