Hi,
I purchase one At&t Galaxy note edge SM-N915A. It is sim locked so I purchased it in a very low price. But now I found out that it is reported as lost or stolen to AT&T. Now I am doom.
I install factory firmware and then I root using king o Root.
Is there a way to get rid of sim lock.
Thank You
if you are inside US then it'll not work but outside of US you can use some online simulock services to get the unlock code.

I don't know if this is a dumb question or not. But I have a Galaxy S5 through verizon using a sim card on the prepaid $50 plan. It bums me out that the bootloader is locked on it. So no root. Started googling around and was wanting to get the note 4 in a few days. Turns out once again the bootloader is locked on that too. My question is are there any flagship verizon phones that will accept my sim card that don't have a locked bootloader so I can root? My main reasons for wanting to root are running CM/ removing bloatware/ Running xposed modules and being able to change the color of the text in the notification bar. I've rooted phones before. But I'm not sure if it's even possible to maybe get another carrier unlocked phone and use my sim in that instead so the bootloader would be unlocked allowing root. ex buying an ATT note 4 that has an unlocked bootloader and then putting my verizon sim in it. Just sucks verizon is LITERALLY the only provider available in my little town.
Wanting to order a unlocked Samsung s7 edge for AT&T. Don't want to get stuck with a locked down phone like the AT&T Samsung s5 I have. Been reading about the sim card locking to the network. And about getting a code to unlock the phone. Like to have the option to root/mod my s7 in the future. Am I just better off to wait it out?
First off what do you mean by locked? AT&T will unlock a fully paid phone from it's network upon request to be used on any other GSM carrier. If you want an unlocked phone with unlocked bootloader your best bet is to buy a T-Mobile variant as it has Snapdragon 820 and open bootloader. The Global unlocked version of the device is unlocked but is also Exynoss 8890 so less likely to get ROMs or root.

Not every international s7 phone comes fully unlocked. Some are locked to certain regions of the world or country. Make sure to ask from a seller in email if it will work on your country before ordering. Some will have to open the box to make a call or something as part of some unlocking process. At least that was the case when I got my s6

Except for the "Global" version which is g390/5F. The phone are not region locked this time but you should check the bands to make sure it's compatible with your carrier.
Thanks for the repls . I live in the Eastern US. By Unlocked, I really just want to be able to root my s7. I don't see me leaving AT&T any time soon. I had an International unlocked Samsung s4, never had any trouble with rooting and installing CROMS. Bought the Samsung s5 striaght from At&T and never could get it rooted. For me, being able to root and play with the CROMS is a big deal.
I have a sprint galaxy s5 updated to marshmillow and is rooted and has TWRP and would like to know if its possible to use it on verizon network i have a working verizon sim card.
yes its possible, but you need to network unlock it. I know of 2 ways to achieve this. idoneapps.com has an unlock service that ive used on 2 G900Ps, and their unlock makes it completely unlocked and usable on any provider including vzw. The other way is via a xda member names @stifilz who has been unlocking phones for folks and he is solid as can be! his services dont require payment, but donations to to him are surely appreciated. After the network unlock, you may have to add some LTE bands on your device to get full functionality, but what youre asking for is possible

Last I saw Verizon was only accepting the Sprint iPhone 5c, 5s, 6, 6plus, 6s, 6s plus, and the Nexus 6....and a few of the iPad's
Sorry if this thread has already been created, but I needed the quickest and most accurate of decisions before I go spending money. I'm in a position to buy a Sprint Galaxy Note 5 for a great price but I need it unlocked. I'm currently using straighttalk with their "Verizon" CDMA BringYourOwnPhone SIM card on a Sprint 5S that has been unlocked. I'm waiting to pull the trigger on the Note 5, just wanted some assurance and possibly some guidance/assistance on getting this bad boy unlocked as well! Thanks in advance
you need to take it to a pro. my phone was unlocked using one of those "boxes", octoplus box but sometimes they need a rooted phone to work so goodbye knox
I know Sprint will unlock it, even though it's not on their DSU list (Domestic SIM Unlock). I requested it, and they unlocked it for US carriers a few days later. So it can be done on Nougat.
How unlock used Samsung Galaxy Book 2 (Verizon) so I can use T-Mobile SIM??
My friend bought a used Galaxy Book 2, put in his t-Mobile Sim and message came up that stated something to the effect that his device needs a Verizon Sim. Even with this message (as someone said it still worked) it did not get a signal.
He cannot return this as he bought it from some 3rd party he will never see again.
He has T-Mobile as a carrier for quite a few phones and has some sort of lifetime extra device -T-Mobile sim plan he can use so he does not want to move just this device to Verizon.
The question is can this be unlocked by Verizon store? And even if it is and APN settings are changed would it work with a T-Mobile Sim?
I know nothing about these LTE laptops and not sure at least for Samsung if the radio in it is somewhat universal or compatible with most US carriers.
Thank you for any advice.
I appreciate it.
Sincerely
Peter
