hello guys, i'm going to buy a new phone in 2 days. There are 2 options of S6 edge+ in my country. SM-G928A and SM-G928C. The 928A costs 520$ and 928C costs 650$. Seller sad that you can install russian language to 928C but it wont work in 928A, except this there is no differences between this devices. İ wanted to know what kind of differences between this devices except installing and using another languages? When bootloader will be unlocked, can we install another languages like russian,turkish etc. when bootloader will be unlocked? thanks, have a nice day :fingers-crossed:
i want to unlock the bootloader also

Unlikely
928A is an AT&T variant. I have it. Trust me, you don't want this one if you want to unlock the bootloader or root your phone.

I am a proud friend of an owner of A galaxy S4 (GT-I9506 Variant) From Orange carrier.
Here's the big problem :
Sadly, My friend bought the S4 SIM LOCKED to orange, and he needs the sim card to be accessed through that phone (THAT'S HIS ONLY PHONE) And we need to unlock the sim.
Phone is an S4, nearly 2 days used ONLY. is Rooted with Kingoroot (I know, not safe BUT ONLY WAY) plus it's a Snapdragon 800 (SWEET XD )
Anyone help me? Please?
Thanks!
Edit:
Yeah. Looks like payment-based unlocking is ruled out for now. I need to unlock the phone WITHOUT paying anything.. Help?
galaxy unlock

Hi All,
I like in Canada and i'm with TELUS... anyway i bought this phone on ebay and it was 150 dollars great deal... I have always just bough an unlock key without issue but i guess this model i535 is different ( damn you verizon)/
I just want to unlock it so i will be able to use my local Telus...
the phone is running 4.42 and kernel 3.4.0
if someone could please let me know the EASEIST way to unlock this - I have never rooted a phone before but have to learn some how! is there no other way to unlock this than rooted it?
Please reply and help!
Thank you all very much

It should be sim unlocked out of the box. Have you stuck a sim in the phone and tried to add Telus APNs?
The only root exploit available for the VRUDNE1 4.4.2 OTA is to use Towelroot. There is no bootloader unlock available for this OTA which means there is no chance for AOSP nor downgrading the firmware to anything prior to 4.4.2. Safestrap is available but you would only be able to dual boot another VRUDNE1 based rom, nothing else.

Of course it didn't, the sim card would belong to the previous owners phone number etc. You need a sim from your carrier with your info, phone number etc. See my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58582227
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...

OH... I really very sorry to hear this .
Hello,
I live in France and I just bought from USA this phone : T-mobile - Galaxy S7 - SM-G930T- Android 6.0.1 - Baseband G930TUVU4APK1, to use with my european sim card.
Sorry many questions, I'm lost completely, between all the forums and different answers.
It seems even if I buy an unlock code it will not work, with T-mobile the only way to unlock is from the T-mobile device unlock app?
Do you think I can root it or flash a rom to remove all the T-mobile things and maybe I could unlock with a code?
If yes I can only install the roms of Sm-g930T I can find on sammobile website? (looks like only Tmobile firemware) or others for galaxy s7
Or what could I do to unlock my phone?
I'm looking on the forums and I tried to root it but didn't work with CFroot.
It seems more complicated with my usa version because from what I understand the bootloader is locked
Thanks a lot

If you install G930U firmware from sammobile it will still lock the SIM. I have done this with my G930T phone. T-Mobile got the patent of their SIM locking technology which they introduce in Qualcomm phone S7, S7E, S8 & S8+. It is completely different method from other carriers' locking method. Till now there is not unlocking method other than server unlock which cost you $150.
I was afraid about the server unlock, so expensive..
I was hoping if I put a firmware with nothing about Tmobile, and then maybe it will ask for a normal unlock code like on other phones and that is like 20or30$.
Thanks for your reply

If you like Samsung devices and want an unlocked bootloader, buy an international model of whatever Samsung device you choose and buy it directly from Samsung, do not buy it from a carrier. International devices have unlocked bootloader or at least can be unlocked.

i do like Samsung devices but even if i have an unlocked bootloader its hard to move between firmware because of security versions.
is HTC easy to change firmware versions?
or an unlocked boot loader only guaranty a carrier free device

Unlocking bootloader doesn't necessarily have anything to do with being carrier free or not.
