[Q] Can a Huawei Ascend P6 or P7 be simlocked?

So I am on this great trip through Asia (currently in Nepal, for the curious), but unfortunately my HTC phone got wet and stopped serving me. So soon I will be going to Bangkok, and I was considering getting myself a phone there. My question is whether phones in Thailand, and especially the Huawei Ascend brand, come with a simlock? I also wonder the same for the Samsung Galaxy line. And if these phones are simlocked, are these locks easily removed? I know that Huawei delivers tools to root your phone easily, but does rooting also give me a simlock free phone?
Probably this question has been answered somewhere on this forum, but please excuse me for not searching thoroughly since Nepal has horrible internet connections and posting this question already requires tremendous efforts and time. So imagine what searching a forum would be like.

Galaxy Series have both sim locked and unlocked versions!!
the can be locked to orange, o2, version, or few like this..
i have tried unlocking s2 and s3 they were real easy to unlock..
if you want i could also make you a video tutorial for that.. just subscribe to my youtube channel (see my signature)
or you could simply buy an unlocked one ie international version of phone!!
Hope you enjoy your trip

Ok great, so Galaxy series would be a safe bet. Im not sure if I should trust the sometimes dodgy resellers in Bangkok though, that's why I also would like to know for sure for the Huawei series. I can't seem to find any reference of it on google though.

UK S6 Edge unlocking

Hi all!
I've recently been offered a Samsung S6 Edge 128GB for a really good price.
The problem is it is network locked to o2 network.
Can i network unlock my S6 Edge without rooting the device? If so can this be done without upsetting KNOX?
I overheard somebody saying you could alter the bootloader to do this?
Ideally i would like the standard Samsung software/firmware rather than o2 networks modified version. That way i have unlocked handset free of o2 apps and images at boot. Is this possible?
Device: SM-G925F
OS: 6.0.1
All help much appreciatted!

[Completed] S7 Edge 935A from AT&T: What custom roms are compatible?

Hi there,
I have rooted my S7 Edge 935A from AT&T, but in a cursory survey of the popular rom alternatives, it's not obvious to me which(if any) I can install on this phone. I see a lot of "for exynos only" in the fine print. All I'm really after is a rom that is free of software updates from the creepy people at AT&T. After I rooted the phone, mandatory updates(which I don't want anyway) from AT&T crash it, and I end up having to do a factory reset. Any advice?
Thanks,
Matt
