I dont want to spend money on that xD
I have a galaxy j7 boost mobile its brand new never been activated I have tried many times to activate it while talking on the phone with boost mobile they said the phone wasnt scanned properly at the store well I am hours away from the store where it was purchased is there anyway I can unlock it for any carrier and also is there any other secret codes
If youre switching to a cheaper service which has unlimited data for $30/ metro pcs, $50/ boost mobile, $60/simple mobile then youre already saving money compared to verizon or at&t. It would actually be worth spending a little money on the sim unlock.. Dont be a cheap wad..
So instead of anyone actually telling him he can't/how to do it, he just gets laughed at and called cheap.
Cool community. Not passive aggressive at all my dudes.
Alright jerkwads. I'm not so easy. What do I have to do to unlock carrier,sim, all the above on a j7? Free is nice but I'll pay before I give them corporate assholes the pleasure.
Dont worry. The winner on this won't get insulted any more than I already have been.
update ask

I'm switching carriers. My ATT contract is done and I want to move to T-Mobile. I want to keep this phone so how do I unlock it for T-Mobile without paying unlock genie or any other sites that offer unlock codes.
I manage to to unlock my older devices like HTC Vivid, Inspire 4G and even the Galaxy S2 SGH-1777 for free,but can't seem to find any information about the skyrocket mostly all are not free.
You can't

ATT would not give me the sim codes,because they wanted me to stay with them,but I need a cheaper plan and ATT would not work with me so T-Mobile has given me the best deal yet. I added this to those many posts to see if anyone would know right away if there's a free way of doing it,but I guess not.

I had mines unlock for $9.99
I had contacted AT&T 3 times about unlocking my phone and they could not find the unlock code. There database showed it did not exist. I tried a unlock company for 20 bucks and they could not unlock it either. I was refunded. Something makes me think some of these phone are only for one carrier? Because the first time I contacted AT&T about my wife's s2 to unlock, I got the code.

Does the new law mean we cant unlock a boot loader? or is it just carrier restrictions?

it has nothing to do with bootloaders, it is only illegal to unlock the sim card so that you can use it with another carrier.

Yeah its the biggest bunch of BS ever.If the phone is bought & paid for you should be able to go with any carrier you choose.Just another infringement in a long list.

It only applies to new phones - if you buy one used it has no impact.
Just actually read the terms you're agreeing to when you sign a contract or buy from a carrier. I don't think that's unfair at all - it's a choice to buy a locked-in phone and a choice to do business with those who will give heavy restrictions. Freedom doesn't mean flowers and sunshine and everyone being nice - it means you have the freedom to buy an unlocked phone, the freedom to not enter into contract service (which is really screwing you over - even before this).
Payday loans are bad for the people who take them. But it's a free country and you're totally free to enter into a stupid agreement. You also have the freedom to choose not to.

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'd like to get information if anyone can inbox me on how I can purchase a T-Mobile S7 Edge to use on ATT. So far, in my local area, T-Mobile won't sell me the device unless I have an account attached to it. I was willing to just buy the device out right.

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.

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

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.

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.
My phone is registered to the T-mobile network. I switched to Verizon and plan to pay off my flip 4 via the payments with the financing company. I have unlocked several phones years ago, but i'm not sure if the process has changed. Is there a way to avoid rooting the phone nowa days?

Yes.
Your IMEI is basically blacklisted because you still owe the carrier, so you may only use the phone on their network. To remove the lock, you have to pay it off. Rooting has nothing to do with it and will not help you.

Ever try to jail break an iPhone? Apple locks them up again pretty much after every update. I have no problem with imei being locked down until paid for. Carriers offer financing to stay with them, not act like a bank and give free interest for competitors. Helps stop theft too, phone useless except for parts.
