Hi all,
I recently got myself a 2nd hand Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915V. The previous owner did a factory reset and i think this made the phone sim locked to verizon again.
So yesterday i spent a whole afternoon and night trying to figure out how to unlock that and at the same time to upgrade to MM 6.0.1.
I checked the following couple posts from Verizon Note Edge Android Development here on xda;
- [OFFICIAL] Verizon Galaxy Note Edge Bootloader Unlock -- Developer Edition Conversion - By npjohnson
- Verizon note edge marshmallow bootloader unlock - By mnw1989
Following their guidelines, i was able to flash the MM bootloader, do a bootloader unlock and enable Developer Mode. Did not flash the TWRP or the custom kernel though.
At the end of the night, i got myself MM 6.0.1 developer mode on the note edge but with the sim locked on verizon.
I am kind of lost and tired to go looking again. Anybody can help please?!
Nobody helped u? Lol. Ya, this phone has no support

Kind of late...but Bootloader unlock is not a SIM unlock.
You will probably have to pay to SIM unlock the device. There are many online options and they're not usually very expensive... they just need the IMEI of the phone and a day or two to get the unlock code.

Hi,
Any help on how to unlock my Sprint Galaxy Note 7 will be much appreciated. Gave it to a friend to unlock it for me but he said he needed root access, from what I've read on here so far it seem this phone cant be rooted because I flashed the firmware to the green battery (PHE).
Is there anyway the phone can be unlocked without root access?

IDK but I need help with this too!
Hello,
I have an issue with my phone. It was previously working fine and it was unlocked. The battery died and when I turned it back on after charging, the phone now seems to be locked. It asks me a SIM unlock PIN. I contacted the original carrier to get the SIM unlock PIN but the code they gave me is not working. I get " Unlock Network request unsuccesful". I did a factory reset and it's not working either.
I don't know what to do...
I saw a post on here talking about using a lite rom but I don't know if it'll work with my s6.
Thank you for your help
Hi guys, I'd really appreciate your help so I can get OEM unlock back on my Samsung S8+ dual sim SM-G955FD here in Canada. I'm on Android 8.0.0.
I've tried many of the methods described on this forum and elsewhere without luck. I've even left my phone charging for over a week, with and without a sim. Also no luck.
My guess is that since the model of my phone is not a model imported into Canada by Samsung, and since I understand Samsung unlocks the OEM security feature by sending a signal, Samsung won't send that OEM unlock signal to an unofficial phone.
This mess started when I unsuccessfully tried to root my phone. I must have made a mistake, so I figured the best way to try again would be to reinstall a stock image. Instead of the original Android 7 I installed Android 8 (which also changed the "Samsung Experience" version from 8 to 9). The phone now happily works, but no OEM unlock and so I cannot root.
Please help me get OEM unlock back on my phone.
Thanks so much

Crazy question but are you sure the bootloader is unlocked?
AT&T are pretty famous on XDA for having unlockable bootloaders.

Agreed I think you're confusing carrier lock with bootloader lock, which are different things.
If you tried going into the APN settings and searching for carrier networks?
Hi guys i hope you can help me.
I'm from Mexico. Some months ago i received as a gift an AT&T Unlocked N950U device. Yesterday i updated my device to Android 9 N950U1 XAA unlocked version with no problems except for the device asking for an unlock code. I tried to get an unlock code from the official site but it says the device is reported as lost or stolen???? (I believe it was a device some people sold and then they went to at&t and said the device was stolen to get a new one).
Now. I was thinking 3 options:
1.- Try to get the code with some credits from an unlock box.
2.- Buy the premium code from some ebay reseller.
3.- Try to go back to oreo but bootloader was uploaded to bit 6 so...
PS: I don't know how it was possible for an unlocked device to lock again after flashing a diferent software version. I firstly tried to update the official way but since i'm on mexico and an at&t sim card is not installed on the device an update is never found. Also i didn't find any Pie update for at&t to flash with odin.
Ps2: The glass is broken and the screen only works if you set brightness above 70-75% so if i flash anything the update wizard is a pain in the ass(because screen is totally black) i could pass thanks to Talkback.
What you think? What is the best i can do now? Screen replacement is not an option at this moment...
