Hello, here what I did, I was looking for any useful information simple way to unlock my Samsung Galaxy S7 G935T ( for factory unlock in order to use on any career) I couldn't found anything very simple for me to do with my zero level skills on how to flash or combine files to unlock my phone. SO what I did is: downloading another Firmware from SAMMOBILE (cost me $25). So I used ODIN so I flashed my phone with a whole new firmware (G935U) the Good thing is that the Previous (G935T) when I switched Sim Card it says : bla bla bla remote unlocking app with T-Mobile) but now instead of showing me this (Bla bla bla ) under the (G935U) it shows only: "Enter Netwok unlock code" anybody here have done this before ?
I need help because my nightmare isn't over yet I still have to bypass this now. Sorry guys I am new to this world.
Thanks for any help. I will appreciate.

Please help, I have searched the forum but dont seem to get a solution that works!
I bought an unlocked S6 Duos some years ago and now need to put the official UK vodafone firmware onto it so I can use wifi calling
I have downloaded the firmware and tried to flash with ODIN but always get it failed when doing the image file. I have also tried to change the CSC code using the dialer but get MMI errors (even though it is connected to the network and I can make / receive calls).
I am sure I am doing something obviously wrong but cant figure it out! Any help really appreciated!
here are the details I have from my phone
Model SM-G920f
Active CSC code SIM
Available CSC codes.... lots including VOD (which is the one I think i need)
Bootloader version G920FXXU3DPBG
CSC Version G920FVFG3DPC1
Baseband version G920FXXU3DPB6
I have been trying to load :
Bootloader G920FXXS3DPF5
CSC G920FVFG3DPC1
Many thanks,

Did you manage to get this to work. I am considering doing the same..does it still remain as a dual sim phone after ?
Hi all,
I have been searching in some threads, and I could not find any valuable answer. Is it actually possible to sim unlock (offline) the Galaxy Note 5/Sprint variant ?
I just bought one, and I am living in Burkina Faso. I had it working fine, until I entered the Download Mode screen (out of curiosity). I did nothing special and tried to Cancel out. Unfortunately, OEM unlocking was not off. I got the bootloop screen displaying the Samsung Logo with the red message in the upper-left corner saying "custom binary blocked by frp lock".
I googled a bit then discovered that flashing a stock rom was the solution. I downloaded stock firmware N920PVPS3DQF1_N920PSPT3DQF1_SPR.zip (based on Android 7) and then flashed it via Odin. It went fine, and I could turn on the phone. All the data were there, but no way to get my local sim card to work.
Is there any one who can help here ?
Much thanks in advance.

Hey man many of us in the same predicament. I found that flashing a different modem (CP) will help get some SIM
Capabilities. Not perfect but you can receive and make calls use 3g (no LTE) but cannot send SMS. I'm also searching for solutions
Search Google for " flashing radio for SMN920P" is a .tar file and you flash it via Odin
Hello.
(backstory, boring) I have an SM-955F from Claro that I've been trying to unlock completely from the carrier. I've had lots of trouble with them and am pending a case with FCC to get out of their claws. In the meantime, I've been trying (without success, hence my posts) to get it working 100% with T-Mobile. I've had T-Mobile for years under a friend's name and couldn't get a device -so I took one from Claro when Puerto Rico was hit with the Hurricane (T-Mobile had no signal for months).
(Little-lot- of info) So, I had the phone updated to Sammobile's PCT 8.0 firmware -G955FXXU1CRC7_G955FOWA1CRC2_PCT-. But it didn't have the OEM unlock. At one point I remember installing TWRP but something happened to the phone and it wouldn't boot up. So, my act of magic (*coughs*, XDA) I found a way to get it back to official firmware (I think at first it was a Germany's 8.0 firmware*can't find the file name*). Anyways, I want to get the phone to have Wi-Fi calling, VoLTE, etc from T-Mobile and, for what I've interpreted, that comes from the CSC files.
Now, I found a thread that uses TWRP+AROMA to get a list of CSC files on the phone and I can just install the one I want. (I don't know if there's an easier way directly from ODIN but I've not found that compatible TMB CSC file for my phone to get the features working, if any).
In any case I still want my phone rooted (I think I triggered Knox, but the phone updated through the Samsung Updater just fine after installing a PCT 7.0 firmware -G955FXXU1AQCC_G955FOWA1AQCC_PCT-. Clearly I'm out of my depth)
(to the point) The phone doesn't want to install my TWRP file. Says "custom binary(RECOVERY) blocked due to remaining installment balance". Obviously it's Claro's side blocking it, I think?. But I can't get them to unlock it (since it's still "theirs", until I get my case resolved or pay their stupid balance. Long story short, Claro's service is **** and I regret not waiting to get my credit approved my T-Mobile)
So, how do I go about it? I read that its RMM blocked. But my state says normal. The OEM unlock only appears on the 7.0 -G955FXXU1AQCC_G955FOWA1AQCC_PCT- firmware (even then it won't let me install TWRP through ODIN). I honestly don't know. I'll appreciate all the help I can get to reach my goal of getting 100% on T-Mobile's features (mainly VoLTE, if possible-the feature is greyed out so I assume it can be activated). Can't even change the radio band on the thing. I read something about using Nova Launcher and having the widgets activate it through "Enhanced LTE" (I think) but that option doesn't appear on the list. I'd also like to delete all remnants from Claro on the phone, bloatware, booting logo and such. Since it's a 955F, I assume one can make it as if international?
Also, please check my previous post, I just realized I forgot to detail something. I did hit that "your phone has been modified, restart to undo process" and I forgot. Maybe that's the root of it all?
Any questions, please do ask. I'd like to get this moving. For now I'll use my Nexus 6 (God I love that phone a lot)
Maybe there's some compensation on this, maybe, if I get it done.
I've included the picture of the error and the info on Download mode, links for files I refer to also at the bottom.

Bump.
I have the same problem "custom binary (RECOVERY) blocked due to remaining installment balance", when trying to install TWRP, in my case I want to install Custom Rom and I could not, I have not found any solution to this problem, I do not have OEM on 8.0, and the RMM status is normal, I could unlock unlock SIM thanks to a friend with Z3X tool, do not charge for it but thankfully I made a donation for the hard work and also that the Z3X is not cheap at all, if you need to talk to him, you inform me to give you his contact.

Unlocked G920T galaxy s6 says "invalid SIM card" after flashing ROM/FRP bypass
HI everyone, I purchased a used galaxy s6 g920T off ebay and it was unlocked but it had the FRP (factory reset protection) so I couldn't do anything.
I looked for tutorials to reset it and found one that involved flashing the combinational ROM and stock ROM using Odin.
I was succesfully able to get on the home screen now, but the phone pops a message up saying "Invalid SIM card. Network locked SIM inserted".
I'm using a US cellular SIM card (GSM) and it should work. Did I flash the wrong ROM? how can I fix this and get it unlocked so many sim card works?
This is the exact video guide that I followed was "Bypass FRP Google account Samsung S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+ (ANDROID 7) (LAST UPDATE)" by the addROM youtube channel if you want to search it, I couldn't post the direct link here.
Hello i think your phone are blocked imei(phone are lost or stolen) go back to ebay and write a seller!
Flash twrp then try to flash MiPa room and select the first csc that is default.
I have a Samsung S7 that my Father had been using on a Vodafone contract.
He died in April .... we closed the contract. All his accounts are closed.
Now trying to set up a phone as a PAYG on Three for my daughter.
When you boot it up it needs an unlock code - to fill the NUL request form in on Vodafoneyou need the IMEI which I don't have
I can't use *#06# as the phone comes up as locked and needs a PIN. (which I don't have)
Hrs of fun with Vodafone support and advised carrying out hardware reset of phone.
Did that .... it wipes ... starts config & connects to WiFi but then advises it was an unauthorised reset and needs previous Google account details - which I don't have.
So 2 issues - I can't get the phone to clean state and I can't get phone's IMEI
Anybody know how to proceed.
