Hello, my friend has a Samsung S8+ that was taken out as a contract phone and then he cancelled the direct debit... the phone has now been cut off. Is it possible to just flash a new firmware to the phone and have it work as it should? If so could someone please point me in the right direction? I have unlocked phones before and guessed it should be something similar. Many thanks for any help
Will pay for fix
I am willing to pay anyone who can help me fix this phone.

I have the same problem because I bought a second hand phone and got scammed. IMEI got blocked after a month or so, so no. You can not unlock it because the Provider blocked the IMEI of your device and you can not change it no matter what.

Hi-
Does anyone know if this phone comes with the bootloader unlocked? My MDM solution is showing that these phones are rooted. There were about 8 different users all with this phone and every one is showing that it is a rooted phone.
I looked online for information, but it seems like no one is talking about this device.
Thanks for your help and time!

I actually had to contact them and ask them how they shipped out their devices. The bootloader is unlocked.
Hi xda, it's been a while since I've been here and looking around has me scratching my head a little.
Anyway I have just purchased a galaxy s6 from eBay foolishly thinking it would be easy to remove the simlock but after a little reading I'm beginning to think I may have made a mistake. I'm not sure what network the phone is locked to as I have not yet received it and the listing states in the title O2 but the description says Vodafone, all I know is the model begins G920F. I thought maybe rooting and flashing a stock firmware would remove the simlock but after reading it looks like this is not the case. I then read also about "tripping knox" which sounds like something I don't want to be doing.
Root is probably something I will be looking to do in the future but not essential right now but I would be very grateful if somebody could tell me the best way to go about putting my virgin sim in this phone.
Please help
Thanks Peter.
I thought the 920F is the facotry unlocked international version so any sim would work.
When are you receiving this? Where are you trying to make this work.

Most European providers don't simlock, so you will most likely just have a provider rom, they are easy to replace with a generic stock rom
He is sending the phone out first class tomorrow so I'll report back after I have received it. I'll be using it in the UK, hopefully I'll get lucky and just be able to use it as soon as I get it. Thanks for the replies people.
Try buying an unlock code from one of the many reputable online unlockers.
I am also in the same boat. I bought samsung galaxy s6 sm-g920f model from malaysia and now when I insert indian sim its say its locked and asking for unlock code. I am just worried now. i am thinking if i can flash stock indian firmware sm-g920i to realease the lock.

Well I received the phone today and it seems I don't have to worry about the simlock as it's a bloody counterfeit!!! Grrrrrrrrrr, in the middle of a dispute atm but hopefully I'll receive a refund. Anybody that wants to help please see this thread...

Are you sure he didnt rent the phone and then he sell it to you for money? Did they completely disable the phone or is the lock screen just locked?

Samsung's are one of the easier phones to work with. I don't think you will have any problems. Just stick with the one guide and don't get overwhelmed by all the other threads. If you end up needing help, just let me know.
Good luck i was in a similar situation with a s5 but the imei was blocked , couldn't be used on any network with in Australia even after i flashed new firmware.

I well may be making an Ass out of U and Me, but it is a reasonable assumption that if they locked the phone, it's because it still belongs to them.
True

I bought my first OnePlus phone just switched from Pixel. Problem I faced I decided to by the phone from big red instead of Oneplus. So how can I start a fire to get some great XDA developers to figure a way to Root my Verizon OnePlus.
Why did you buy a phone from Verizon? Was the deal that great that it was worth giving up an unlockable bootloader? You can forget anyone finding an exploit, Verizon locks down their phones tight. Should have know Big Red would screw you over....
