You won't lose samsung pay for unlocking the device using the tmobile app. It's not touching the bootloader in that way.

I wanted to get it unlock by buying unlock code online. I can't get the unlock screen to put in the unlock code because I don't have T-Mobile. My other option is to root it and unlock it but I don't wanna lose Samsung pay.

Ahhh I see what you mean. I've never unlocked that way before. This may seem as a stupid question but have you tried to ask T-Mobile for an unlock code?

You don't need to have t-mobile to unlock it. Is it an N920T variant? If you bought it from them out right they will unlock it.

That is F'd up dude. If only you lived in California. I believe a state law was passed there that prevents carriers from refusing to unlock devices that are paid for. I'm really starting to despise them more and more. Only thing they are good for where I live is speed and coverage.

You can try this service from UnlockRadar working 100%: https://www.unlockradar.com/service/t-mobile-usa-device-unlock-app-official-unlock
What ROM are you using? In the past I've gotten that message about device comparability before, I was running an international ROM. If that's not the issue, honestly, give them a call back, might take a couple times but I've had different reps tell me different things and often calling back a couple times I'll get someone that is willing to help me.

Now that you've unlocked it, what carrier have you taken it to that is successful? What I've been reading is yes you can unlock it (domestic sim unlock) but due to different technologies there's no guarantee you can use it on GSM carriers like ATT or T-Mobile's 4G spectrum. You'll probably get 3G but not 4G LTE... Can you confirm?

Unlocking a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and I want to unlocked this cell phone is with Sprint, what can I do?
I was able to unlock my G935T, Galaxy S7Edge today so I can use it on my ATT Account. I had to call TMO customer service because the Unlock Ap that came with the phone would not authorize the unlock when I first tried it.
Over the last few days, in the process of getting unlocked I learned a few things:
1) Phone has to be on TMOBILE for about 5 to 7 days before their system can recognize the device. it might happen sooner - took five days for their systems to see that I had the S7 Edge active on the account.
2) until we are rooted, you have to be able to meet Tmobile Requirements to unlock a device:
A) Be a Tmobile customer for a minimum of 1 year
B) Phone is active on TMOBILE Account for a minimum of 40 days
C) Phone is active on a PRE-PAY account. and Pre Pay account has a minimum balance of $100
From what I understand, You only need to meet one of the three requirements, A or B or C.
My experience in working with Customer Support was mixed. Most were very helpful (I have been trying to get customer support to authorize my unlock since day 2 of owning the phone) One guy was a jerk and refused to accept that I met the requirements. He kept saying something that was not mentioned in the rules at all - sort of making things up to meet his understanding - but when he transferred me to a higher level of support, they understood and actually helped me.
The good news is, there is a guy in Tmobile Note 5 Forums that can help you unlock devices (once you are rooted) My understanding is that he is offering his services free of charge but will accept donations to anyone grateful enough to donate something if the want to. Once we havr root, head over here to get more information) Sim Unlock - US and International
Finally, there is one other way you may be able to unlock your TMobile S7 Edge but you will have to wait until Sammobile has Firmware posted for our devices. Specifically you will need firmware for Metro PC G935T1 (versus G935T) They use the exact same firmware that is used by TMOBILE (at least they did on the Note 5 and S6) Metro PCS does not use the Unlock ap to unlock the sim card, you will just need an unlock code. Flashing their firmware in odin on the S6 and Note 5 would then allow you to put a sim card from another carrier and unlock the sim with an Unlock code. YOU CANNOT use unlock codes on TMOBILE Firmware because of their "Unlock AP" it somehow disables the ability to unlock with a code - but because METRO PC doesn't have the unlock app, it is a non issue.
Hope this is helpful...
Good to know!
So does everything work perfectly on the AT&T network.... Mainly LTE?

I bought my S7E with the same intension. T-Mo rep says I have to keep my line active for 45 days then they will unlock it for me for free. 2 weeks since I got the phone, so we will see.

Follow up. I got my s7 edge from tmobile. 3 days after i called customer service. Just tell them you are going to travel and you need your phone unlocked then poof
So I received my preorder S8 through AT&T today. From the information I've been able to gather, the model number is supposed to be SM-G950A. I was looking through the phones info and realized the phone I received is a SM-G950U model. Did I just get very lucky and receive an unlocked S8 from AT&T?? I know there's not too much info out there, but is the unlocked model carrier unlocked only, or will I be able to unlock the bootloader as well? Carrier unlock is no big deal to me considering I work as a cell technician and have a reseller account, but if it will be possible to unlock my bootloader that would really excite me. Thanks for any info!!!
I got a U as well. From T-mobile.

Interesting... Maybe all the preorders are unlocked?
T-Mobile S8 here, can confirm I got the U model and can confirm it is sim locked.
So there's no difference in any of the US versions I'm guessing. This will make carrier switching easier.
I heard they are all U models. They are carrier locked besides Verizon. Does the T-Mobile software have the stupid unlock app still?

Yes, it does on mine.
Rumor is, they all get locked the moment you insert a SIM. So... like... don't insert AT&T SIM into a phone you will use with T-Mobile.

I wouldn't doubt that one bit. I had a few S7 930 U's, when you would put a different sim in them they would reboot and load the new carriers sim settings. Wonder if you factory reset right from the get go maybe it would stay unlocked.

Nope. Would kind of defeat the purpose of SIM lock. Basically, as long as you are willing to blow up your data, you can use your phone with any carrier. Then just SmartSwitch restore.

That's not what I've been reading and hearing. All the US models are the same hardware and phone. Only thing that makes it carrier specific is that carriers firmware.
There's no branding on the phones either, no Verizon or att symbol on the back of the devices.

Because you have to meet certain cryteria's for them to unlock it. I've also heard all kinds of horror stories of the phones re-locking after software updates ect. It's much easier to insert a foreign sim and buy a unlock code for 20 dollars and know the phone will be unlocked for good forever.

When I got my T-Mobile phone, the first thing I did was boot using a verizon sim. Never connected to the network or internet. Upon booting I got a notification stating that the phone is indeed carrier locked and to use the app to unlock, so its safe to say at least for the T-Mobile version that it is locked from factory.
All are U versions. Samsung is controlling updates and the service providers just provide antenna drivers and bloatware.

Maybe it's a good idea. Samsung is running around trying to appease every carrier out there before doing U updates. When everything is U, then there's just one update point.

If you use the tool to convert the phone to the global firmware it's automatically unlocked regardless of if it's locked to T-Mobile

mmwave support is in all Pixel 5s sold in the US. No need to get a VZW branded device for any reason other than deals, rebates and paying it off over 24 months without further credit checks.
