Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Sm-G360T1 - Unlock Error - Samsung Galaxy Core

I bought the Device Unlock service and got the go ahead to run the app on the phone to finalize the process, unfortunately, I did not check before purchasing to make sure the phone was connecting to the server.
I'm getting the "server not responding, please try again later" error. have been trying for 3 weeks.
resetting from recovery, flashing the stock rom from odin has not made a difference.
5.1.1 is running, no update is currently available.
Root:
TrapKernel
Installed SuperSu apk
unofficial twrp recovery which works, flashed via odin.
has anyone else ran into this error and have been able to get the phone unlock?

The payment might not have gone threw, and you might have to wait the 90 day.
Have you tried it on your mobile network and not wifi? And if so, the other way around?

Yes, The payment went thru, the merchant said the unlock was done. I've tried different wifi connections, cannot try mobile internet because I am not in original country with Metro PCS.

I think trying to do it via wifi is what the issue is.
I am not completely positive but I think you might have to do it on the Mobile Network or else it won't work.

I have gotten 3 metro pcs phones similar to this unlock and all have been one wifi.
they suggest resetting (didn't work) or upgrading, but unfortunately no update is available.. it's running 5.1.1

Can't recieve any OTA!

Seen someone talk about the OTA of note5 verizon version, so I tried my device ,but it's just display "software update is temporarily unavailable. try again later." I tried several times, only same message.
How about your deviece?
My device states that I'm currently updated and there is no update. Did you take the first update verizon pushed?

I had a similar issue. I'd advise to first try a fresh reboot. If that doesn't work, reset your settings in the backup and restore tab (this won't wipe any data). Reboot and it should work then.

I already reset to factory , still not work
I had this issue as well. It seems I had something disabled in package disabler that didn't allow the uodate. I re enabled everything and then the uodate went through immediately. Then, of course I disabled again

I have reset to factory, so there's nothing disabled now,but no OTA as well
by the way , I am not using a verizon sim card, And didn't active the phone. it's a unlock version ,and using other sim card fine.
I have the same issue. I'm not Verizon customer using other 3g network. With this sim cannot get Ota updates
finally , I use smart switch update my rom, it's seems that the wireless charge issues got fixed
Are u able to get the Ota update?
I don't know, same message now, maybe still can't ota. I think the 3rd sim card cause this issue.
I heard the the Ota can be done only on Verizon network with Verizon sim

Can't update from 5.0.1 to anything

Hi guys, 2 days ago I got this phone off-contract, and I can't update it. At start I filled it up with a bunch of software to check it out, and today I did a soft reset, as I read that it can't help if you can't get an android update and I wanted to get rid of all the stuff I installed.
Thing is, when I go to "check for updates", it says my device isn't registered. I tried 2 soft resets so far and no luck.
Any thoughts on "how to register"?
Thanks!
Register the IMEI by calling ATT (611). You should be able to do the same with its MVNOs too. You can only retrieve the OTA by using one of the two.
Also you can bypass the 24hr nonsense by calling customer service, then asking them to push it from their tech department.

Errr... I got it from a Cellphone shop here in Serbia, I'm not sure where they acquired it, or from which operator it is. How do I find out who I need to call/email or whatever?

My bad, I assumed you had the H950 (att logo on back). If you're using an international variant, which I believe is H959 the method is probably different.
Yeah, sorry I'm still not familiar with model number but it's an international version.
Any idea is welcome
EDIT: Seems it's a H955.

Nope, I never rooted the phone, never used low-level access on it. Just tried apps via Google play that don't require root. Even than the phone didn't want to update, and it still doesn't want to do it. I also installed LG PC Suite and tried to update the software via it, but it doesn't work either.

Ace,
I have H950 on T-Mobile network, unlocked, rooted, 5.0.1
How can I update it to 5.1.1?

Okay, you'll need help from another member with that model. Anything I say will be based off of my time with the H950, sorry mate.

1. Unroot
2. You can use H950PR ROM or go official ATT route
3. There's a thread on PR / if you want ATT's 2 5.1.1 OTAs you'll need a gophone SIM ($2/day), ATT MVNO, or a friend's SIM
4. You can wait patiently for weeks or call 611 while using their network
5. Ask the rep to be transferred to tech support, then tell them you need an update pushed
6. They'll push it if they're knowledgeable, you'll get 11x
7. Repeat following day for 11z

Sure, no problem. If we don't get an answer and I still won't be able to get that update automaticly, is there a way to flash it with a newer version downloaded from xda?
You can flash the 5.1.1 kdz file.
Just to tell the end of the story, I returned my phone since it couldn't be updated to 5.1.1, I got a H-955A which didn't have any issues with that.

Samsung S7 model SM-930F "emergency calls only " after some usage period

Hello
I have this problem with my second samsung s7 black sm930F (SM-G930FZKAXEF) the phone works perfectly but after some 362 (*UPDATE NOW AFTER 162 HOURS )hours of function I get "emergency calls only " only phone restart or phone flight mode return to normal network mode and this bug is annoying because is a software problem ( tried everything replace nano sim several times no luck, turn data mobile off and on no luck either) the nano sim is perfectly inserted the phone works perfect but after that amount of hours when i pass areas with poor signal and go back to the ones with very good signal I have the latest update....
maybe you guys have the same problem
wait for update and fix
I had a similar problem on my rooted G930F after moving away from the initial stock rom that came with the phone. I found that the issue improved after using Odin to flash the May phone/CSC from Sanmobile then re-installing my current custom rom.

If you aren't familiar with Odin then maybe wait for an update from your operator, otherwise the other option is to find the corresponding rom at:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930F/ - then flash it with odin using one of the many Odin guides on the interwebs

Did u try a factory reset? I am assuming you using the phone with a sim card that is country specific. For example if I buy the phone from India then I need to use an Indian sim card for sometime and only then I can use another country sim card.

the phone is french model sm930f neverlocked it's no difference because is european model so i'm in europe only in a different country......for ex I had a s6 sm920f french and use it in the same country that i'm using this s7 and was working perfectly.....your ex is like this if I want to use this european model in us,asia,russia, yes even in the manual it's say that you must first use it with a european sim an talk the first 5 min........
yes I did try a network reset today
I had the first s7 that was produce from my country and have the same issue..........
what is your up time ??? did you have this problem ???
Great. Rather than network reset try factory reset. If still does not work, take it to a service center they would reload the entire firmware without tripping knox.

To me this sounds like the device has been blocked or is a hardware issue. If you have not rooted or messed with the software on any way then it is the only explination .

Screwed up my SM-G930VL, please help!!

Hi,
I bought a SM-G930VL (tracphone branded, but verizon compatible) galaxy s7 for a pretty good price, however the advanced and wifi calling were not options (even though verizon told me they were before I purchased). I decided I would try to flash the VZW firmware from sammobile through odin, but it did not work. It originally gave me the ext4 error, but then flashing the csc fixed that. I then flashed the AP file, but it finished very quickly (about 3.5 min) and now will only boot into recovery when powered up.
Is there anything I can do to save my phone, or have I permanently screwed it up?
Thanks
holy sh*t got it working. Flashed the BL, AP, CP, and CSC files and it booted to welcome screen!!
Thanks all (and hopefully this helps anyone in the future who runs into this predicament)
It is currently checking wifi connection so hopefully all is well!
Edit: Is there a way to edit the title? That way this could be maybe help the next person rather than getting ignored.

Hi, want to ask a few questions. were you able to fully flash the Verizon firmware to this model with no issues? The phone is also supposed to be factory unlocked per my connections with reps.
Did the phone fully change to a SM-G930V, showing in settings and in Odin mode?
Yes I was able to fully flash Verizon and I have working wifi calling and advanced calling. In settings it shows up as V not VL as well. As far as I understand it is the exact same hardware just different software running on it

Great, i flashed one yesterday for a friend via teamviewer and even changed the model as SM-G930V in odin mode. So I guess due to this the phone has now a locked bootloader and ended up being converted to a full Verizon galaxy S7. Only thing it did not take his Metro PCS sim card. Unsure it would take any other carrier sim cards.

Was the boot loader originally unlockable? I was under the impression that all SD versions were locked down right. That's great that you got it to work also!

It seems it was as it allowed me to flash the verizon bootloader and full firmware. Normally tracfones only allow to flash part of a firmware and rejects all bootloader partitions.
Is bootloader locked after flash g930v firmware. Or can I flash back to straight talk?

There were reports of someone flashing the phone to an SM-G930U (Unlocked US S7). So apparently they are interflashable. I however have not gone to that extent as am yet to get my one to thinker with. I flashed previously to a SM-G930V via teamviewer for a friend. You can search the threads and verify.

You probably figured it by now, but MetroPCS is the only retarded carrier that locks SIM to IMEI. So if you want to use MetroPCS on any other phone than the one you currently have it on, you need to call customer service and give them your new phone's IMEI. Then your new phone will start working. If you want to switch back to your old MetroPCS phone you need to call them again and give them that IMEI, which is retarded. I don't know why they do that but it's really annoying if you frequently switch phones.
I have a 935V (S7 Edge Verizon) and now have 935U ROM on it using Tracfone. Initially I have Tracfone's Verizon service but I wanted the freedom to easily move from one phone to another so I converted it to a Tracfone-GSM(ATT) and been using it in my Verizon S7 Edge (with 935U ROM) and iPhone SE without any problem.

Could you add links to everything you used? I have the same model using straight talk and I want to be able to have a backup firmware to flash in case I ever mess up my phone (which seems to be a trend). And have you had any issues at all? Like, does everything work okay?

I too would like to know if you could please provide links. Im rather new to this, the only other phone ive ever flashed rooted and put custom rom on was a Evo.

How do I fix "invalid IMEI" in my android phone? After factory resetting, it says "IMEI is empty."

I have a samsung a12. It was rooted and I tried to software update it with odin, but failed and led me to factory resetting the phone. After it was done, for some reason it said "IMEI(or MEID) is empty".
I think it has something to do with my sim card? But I have it inside already and tried putting it out and back in but no success... Now I rooted my device again and tried a lot of stuff but nothing worked. Any suggestions?
IMEI has nothing to do with SIM-card:
IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity and helps identify a specific phone across all mobile networks. Think of it as a social security number for your phone, or a fingerprint. It’s a 15-17 digit number that allows networks to identify a phone and get information on what kind of phone it is, including where it was manufactured and its model.

I'm having the same problem with my factory unlocked USA version S22 Ultra running on T-Mobile. Seems like it started right after I applied the June security update over the air. Whenever I try to access my Samsung account or Find my mobile in Settings, or use the Galaxy Store app, I get that exact same message. Did you ever find a solution to it?
