Hi all
After searching on XDA I found 2 threads relating to my Topic here, but both threads were unanswered so..
Ive just bought my S6 (G920F) which is SIM locked and Bloated with EE UK apps..
Would it be safe to ODIN Flash the latest OPEN BTU (920F) Rom onto my S6.. even though its SIM Locked.
Thanks
First, you probably can. I did the reserve and flashed a EE Stock ROM from BTU and it worked. Also, if it doesn't, you can always unlock your phone for only £8.99 from EE themselves. https://myaccount.ee.co.uk/device-unlock/
It was unlocked and it is lagging as hell, I'd like to install like Australian unlocked firmware (XSA) but I don't know, us it safe for my device I just got it.
Cannot update to nougat as it gives tampering error.
Go to https://www.sammobile.com/ to get the firmware, then flash it with Odin. Vodafone should be there, Optus was.
Just make sure you go into download mode on the phone first to confirm you have the correct model information before you download the firmware and flash it.
Hello guys,
Bought this phone second hand,but it seems that it has T-mobile Firmware installed on it (can see T-mobile logo at boot).
Question is,my phone should be unlocked because of model number (G930F), can I write with odin the unlocked version of Oreo 8.0 UK.BTU firmware downloaded from Sammobile ?
I have to mention that I'm using Telekom sim card,but the phone works with orange sim and vodafone sim too.
Thanks a lot guys !

Wrote the firmware with success ! Anyone who encounters this, it's safe to flash.
I have an unlocked phone on Marshmallow.
Will it become locked again if I upgrade it to Nougat using Odin and the official firmware?

Thank you for the firmware source.
Just to clarify, you flashed only that AP, no additional modem or bootloader files?
In addition, is T-mobile a cell phone provider also in Arab emirates? I did some search in internet and it seems the answer is no.
Would it be possible somehow to compare if your phone and mine have been unlocked the same way?
Thank you for any additional help

No my service provider is Etisalat not Tmobile but i bought this phone on Craigslist and it was locked on Tmobile network so the owner sold me very very cheap he didn't know how to unlock it.
I bought it in 140$ and and it's brand new condition almost untouched.
i used a software in windows pc called "Z3X samsung tool pro v29.2" a cracked version to be honest to unlock this phone permanently.
After that i flashed nougat via odin just in AP tab and still unlocked.
I did not flash modem or bootloader separately because this firmware comes in full package Bootloader+Modem+CSC+System all you have to do is use AP tab and upload firmware then flash it.but remember you have to do factory reset from stock recovery immediately after flashing successfully otherwise it can get bootloop
Even though i try Tmobile sim unlock app that comes pre installed but it didn't worked cuz i don't have Tmobile sim card.
I am not sure your phone situation to be honest but since its UNLOCKED already so give it a nougat shot.
I tried flashing an Australian (G970FXXS9DTK9) anrdoid 10 firmware but odin wouldn't let me-
phone still works thank goodness. it's on android 11
I thought with an unlocked bootloader I could flash whatever I want as long as it worked for the phone (staying within 970f)
whats happening? how can I flash an english working stock firmware? also can I flash an older firmware or am I still locked somehow from going down or changing country
