Hello guys, I'm new to this community. I need help to unlock my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
The phone was a gift from my friend since my nexus 4 broke. I'm currently on MetroPCS and I need
to activate my new phone, but since it is Sprint I havent been able to do it. I downgraded to Kitkat 4.4.2
and root it to install SSU. Since SSU was not working on Lollipop 5.0
So now SSU says that it is unlocked, but I'm still having the same issue with "invalid sim card." I read some forums
and they said that SSU works only for international, not sure if it works in US carriers like Metropcs. Lastly, I tried looking for unlock codes from paid websites, but they don't have offer any unlock codes.
I need some help with this, if you have a tutorial or know how to please help me. Thanks :fingers-crossed:

Hi, I've been searching the whole the web for rooting a at&t samsung galaxy s5 android version 5.0 for a week now. I haven't found a single way. All methods for rooting any other model works. But none have succeeded with the at&t model. I heard you can downgrade it if you have 5.0 but it can brick your phone. I wanted to try it but I didn't want to take the risk. If anyone knows a way to root the at&t samsung galaxy s5 please help me and others tying to find the answers. Thank You.
Hello, thank you for using XDA Assist.
THIS ROOT METHOD is also compatible with your device. Any further assistance just ask in that thread.
Thank you! and Google Luck!
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.
I see you asked your question in the Android Q&A forum.
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

I have Note 4 from Europe
I have Rooted it and applied a nice cooked ROM from this great website.
Once I have install my SIM (first time since I have the phone), it comes with the SIM NETWORK LOCK.
Now, how com it is like that if i have ROOT and ROM not from Sumsung?
I need help on that as the prices out there are $35-$66
Can someone help? I have the IMEI and model (910C)
Many thanks to this great site and people

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
SIM unlocks are completely separate from actions performed by rooting, or installing custom ROM's, unfortunately. Also, you may find that if you get an unlock code, it will not work while running said custom ROM (I personally ran into this problem before). Samsung's are horrible for unlock code prices, but if you shop around you may find a good deal from a trusted source.
Ideas for that can be asked through the following thread, where your device experts are found:
> Samsung Galaxy Note 4 > Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [NOOB FRIENDLY] Ask the question!
Please note, you will need to have an XDA account to be able to post there.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
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 Blacklisted --
my question is if i update to 5.0 will i still use it or will it get blocked and will i be able to use the sim
i live outside the US.
thank you.
