Hi guys, i own a SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE 3 S7275R that is locked / network locked to a carrier in my country.
I was wondering if i change the IMEI it would let me use it with all phone carrier's?
It's this true ?
If the answer is "YES" , how can i do that?
Can it brick my phone?
Waiting for Answer
Hope you can help me!

Nope, changing the IMEI won't unlock it. If the phone is paid in full, your carrier can unlock it for you. Otherwise, you can used a third party code provider.

Hi thanks for your reply !
Sadly to hear that...
Asking my phone carrier to unlock it , its not free i have to pay 25% of the phone new.
So its cheaper to sell it!

Hi, I have a Galaxy Nexus locked to O2 UK just bought, do you think where could I have it unlocked? I need it asap to work on Vodafone.
I think it's a bit too early to say. Generally speaking you can do it... but u have to wait a little bit that things came out.l
Sorry to be off topic...but how do you like the phone? Does USB mass storage work? Give us something!!
Thanks. You are right. I have tried ALL possible unlock sites. No one have it. Maybe someone can hack the software.
@lowandbehold:
Sorry for the late reply but I was busy unlocking it. I have literally tried all unlock sites and no joy. Galaxy Nexus: It is my first Android and is hard to evaluate it comparing previous version of Android. I like the feeling having it in hand, although the plastic is not so great comparing with iphone it is still better than other Samsung phones. Being used with iPhone the menu could be a bit demanding but I think that this would be good after all. The display is great and this is the thing that made me change the iPhone. I didn't test USB mas storage yet. Sorry.
Galaxy Nexus unlocked
Finally,
I have unlocked my Galaxy Nexus.
After several attempts to unlock my phone, I've got 5 refunds from different specialized websites. (some of them prompt others after claiming it) Finally, this morning, as previously promised in an earlier email, samsungimeiunlock announced me that they have the code. Now my phone is unlocked, the whole thing took 10 minutes.

The only place to buy a Nexus in the US is Verizon. Verizon uses CDMA technology, not GSM. That phone WILL NOT work in India!! Don't do it!
samsung galaxy nexsus
hey guys i have unlocked my galaxy nexsus bootloader but it is showing me to put sim unlock code after puting the new sim can anyone help me out what should i do for this situation.
Hi
I have an IMEI unlock codes server, and I can provide unlock codes for all Samsung phones locked on European networks.
All models are compatible, even the most recent.
The unlock by imei don't make you loose your warranty, and it's permanent.
It's the easiest way to unlock your phone.
All you have to do is power on your phone with an unaccented sim card, type the provided unlock code, and the phone will be unlocked for ever.
The only info that I need is the IMEI of the phone. (type *#06# to see the IMEI)
And the model of the phone.
Delivery time: half hour normally.
SPECIAL OFFER 12€

Say that you see this post in XDA to benefit this offer.
Payments by PayPal 100% secure for you.
I have codes for all brands of phones too.
Thanks

Hello Filipe.
I don't know any way of unlocking the sim for free on the newer phones.
I'm from Portugal too and I think that every store that sells cellphones unlocks the SIM. My father took his phone to a store to unlock it and he payed 15 euros I guess. it's not to expensive
Best regards,

Are you trying to unlock the sim from the network or unlock the phone from the network ?

There is many different techniques usable through just googling and seeing whats out there however i believe the easiest/most secure way is paying the providers fee :crying:
However their are lot of websites that say you can do it but most say it still costs you would need to find the one for your phone + network etc so i cant really help that much but send in a thumbs up if i have

For Device Unlock you need to have service for 90+ days. That's how that works. If you want an eBay service or something. honestly just find a unlocking service with good reviews but you've been warned that unlocking that way isn't official and I don't recommend it. With that said you can check out rugitin who unlocks the phone: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Metro-PCS-A...513358?hash=item33ad4810ce:g:xBAAAOSwZVhWS-sG
Remember unlocking like this isn't legit or official in anyway but if you don't want to wait 90 days with active service than this is your only option.

Hey there, I want to sim unlock this Gs8 I got from Sprint, Model: Sm-G950U , Software version: G950USQS2BQL1, I received an unlock code but was not able to input the code because it just said sim error contact sprint immediately, Unlocking by sprint isn't a choice as they extorted money out of me, I really want my galaxy s8 to be in service again any Idea where to start? Any help will be much appreciated , I come from a background of good software knowledge so other approaches are good too.
Sprint extorted money out of you?
Extortion is illegal in this country...
Does your phone asks for codes or not?
If it doesn't ask for code you can try the following 3 methods, however, they are not 100% guarantee to work:
Method #1: Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press #7465625*638*# Once prompted for code, enter the 8 digit Unlock Code.
Method #2: Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE#
Method #3: Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #0111*UNLOCKCODE#
If none of these work, also check if your phone's IMEI is clean and not reported or blacklisted by Sprint.
Sprint phones are usually unlocked one of two ways and neither has anything to do with a code. One is via Sprint with an OTA thing. The other is via root + a 3rd party tool like z3x, Octopus, or something similar.

Need to SIM unlock Sprint galaxy s8 (also fear it may be "black listed" unpaid lease)
I bought the phone from someone and thought it would work but I was trusting instead of smart.. Should've checked it out first. Anyways im negative a couple hundred $$ and I would love if some one would be able to help guide me through unlocking the SIM and if necessary rooting etc. To make it work for my Metro PCS account. In short I need to be able to I assume "SIM unlock" my S8 and hope it'll just be ready to pop my metro SIM into it and it works. Any advice? Will it work if I can just unlock it and use my metro SIM? Or since its an the lease hadnt been fully paid will that be a problem... Ive checked on a couple sites that let you see the IMEI number and if its black listed but it isn't... Please help.

Correct. It IS an advertisement - and not a very good one. He obviously has no knowledge of phones whatsoever if he thinks that Sprint devices use codes
I too have a Sprint phone which I wanted to unlock with the help of information here on the site. Since you won't be able to use unlock codes, and also bcause when I called Sprint they wouldn't help me -told me to contact the seller of the phone to have it unlocked, I was desperate for any unlocking method. Hard to find a working one and didn't want to waste too much time (old Galaxy S5 was already at it's last breath) I made contact with one of the unlockers here on XDA and one was able to unlock it remotely for me. I did pay $15 but with the crappy internet I have and since most unlocking sites are asking $39 for unlocking S8 then I really didn't mind this $15. Took well over a few hours to do since I had to download combination file for my phone which took a while. It's unlocked now thanx to vosi7en here at xda. I do have 1 problem now and that's tethering.....I don't have the option to do any hotspots. Anyone have an idea? I can't root yet cuz I'm on latest Oreo now.

I'm not sure what a "tmobile for vzw sim" is. But you might need to remove the Sprint bloatware in order for it to work properly
