Hey guys, so I recently found myself the owner of a Verizon S6 that my dad found on the bus when he was out near Delaware. I thought it would be an awesome addition and that I'd be able to use it on T-Mobile, I've done it before, why not on the S6? Well, for some reason unlike the Verizon S3 and S5 I've used with my T-Mobile Sim, the S6 has been very stubborn. I've tried researching online but have found mixed answers. From what I've read since the posts were kind've old, the S6 could easily be switched to T-Mobile when it was on Lollipop with a simple tweak of the APN settings. Since the marshmallow update was pretty recent, I've tried time and time again with all of T-Mobile's APN's and I simply cannot get it to work. Does anyone have any insight on this? Is it simply because its on 6.0.1?
Some info on what happens:
When I insert the SIM and power on, it simply says "This is not a Verizon Sim" with no service whatsoever and "Emergency Calls Only"
Any changing of the APN has no effect, switching between LTE/CDMA, LTE/GSM/UTMS, and GLOBAL does nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!

I have personally been using the same config. I don't know if it will work but I was able to downgrade to BOG7 from 6.0.1

Are you rooted? If not how am I able to downgrade? Is it the usual ODIN method?
On MM no Root, I just put the Sim card in and added APN. Maybe the phone is blocked reported lost?

Hi all, I bought about 3 weeks ago an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 international version that came from Germany. It came with Gingerbread and I updated to ICS and there was a ROM update too. I did this with Kies.
The problem is that when I insert my GSM chip from my carrier there's no internet access or it is very sluggish. It's not a problem with the carrier because the configuration is fine, plus the same GSM chip in a Samsung 5500 works fine with internet. Will reverting back to Gingerbread and previous ROM fix the issue or should I return the phone? Thanks for any feedback.
Have you tried to reprogram the phone with # something. I forgot the rest. I'll be right back, I'm going to look it up

If you are running verizon. go to phone and put in #228. Don't if you are with a different provider. That's the only method I can think of :\
Thanks megaghostgamer, looking forward to your suggestion
You're Welcome
Just to be sure, you are running verizon right?

Hello everyone!
I'm writing for help from the experts. I don't know if this had been answered somewhere else but i looked all over the place and i didn't find anything for this phone.
After trying and trying for a few days now, i have not been able to unlock my verizon SGS3 so that i can use it with other sim cards.
I currently have it running on JB 4.1.2 it is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked thanks to the EZ- Unlock technique.
But when i put in a non verizon sim it says "sorry, this SIM is not supported. please....."
Can it be done ?
Thanks in advance
BTW: i've tryed the "galaxsim", and "Sim unlock" by chainfire as well as all the other similar apps i could find on the playstore but they have not worked for me.

Verizon S3 is sim unlocked for GSM, but not sure about the cdma. You can use it with t-mobile, att etc. There is a thread in android development forum about how to setup s3 as global phone. Try that one if you are using gsm.
Thanks doesn't hurt....

Hey !
Thank you so much for responding. I am trying to use it on a gsm network but it wont register, that's why i figured maybe its locked somehow. Also because of the message in the top that says non-verizon sim, it says sorry this sim card is not supported etc..
Where can i find the thread you mentioned?
Thanks again.

Ok so i worked on it till very late last night, and was able to do everything in the thread. My phone now shows the network apn in the apn list in the settings and i was able to get rid of the non-verizon sim message that poped up at startup.
But my phone still won't register on any network, I've tried to different sim cards and tried in global settings as well as gsm/utms auto or manual but it wont register onto a network.
What can i do ? Is it locked by Verizon or something ? Should i flash a different rom ?
Thanks for your invaluable help, i really appreciate it!
Have you tried using phoneinfo? Try using the phone info app to select preferred network type by going into device information. Find link below to the app. Try with different network type

If this doesn't work then try with lte sim card.

Honestly, I'd say to factory reset and Odin your correct version firmware. That way the firmware will be compatible with your Sim and Network.
Oh ya. Try to stick to the firmware that belong on the phone.... LOL. Let troubles that way
Thank you for the reply am if you could is there anyway you could send me the correct firmware... Or link o go to find the correct firmware.. An do you know of any good custom roms that are compatible with my sprint galaxy s6 edge sm-g925p

You purchased a carrier locked device to use on none carrier network.... that is dumb unless you are willing to deal with all the issues this being one.

I got my phone att phone in the states but got stationed overseas being military. Att did me a favor and unlocked the phone for me with proof of my orders. I am not able to get these updates because of where I located and can no longer use an active att Sim card. There are some of us who have legitimate reasons to download the firmware other than the traditional method. I have looked on the att support page and these forums but can only find custom roms. All I'm looking for is the official update

You cannot sadly. You MUST use a att sim or flash a custom rom. There's no way around it unfortunately. If it was available I'd have it in my guide to flash but it's not.

First, you probably need to identify if your network is a CDMA network or a GSM network, the Verizon devices are CDMA. Try finding a S7 Edge firmware for your region/carrier, then try flashing that. Do some research and make sure that there are significant differences between the model number that you actually have and the model number of the firmware that you attempt to use, you might cause a brick if you aren't careful.
