Does anyone have a definite solution to this problem? I've read many opinions but haven't run across a solution. I have a Samsung unlocked S9+ running official AT&T firmware and userdata but the carrier specific apps and features still don't work. The best infomation I've found is that the IMEI numbers of the unlocked devices are not in AT&T system so the features/apps won't work.
If this is the case, has anyone had any luck getting AT&T to register their IMEI and get the features working?

Hello guys i'm new here and did look for my problem but didn't find much
i brought a galaxy S5 sprint G900P the guy that sold it to me told me it was a non-contract phone
i check the imei back then and it was clean even though i coudn't activate it.
still i used SSU to unlock the sim on 4.4.2
i wanted today to update to the 5.0 version i checked the imei again just by luck and i found it Blacklisted --
my question is if i update to 5.0 will i still use it or will it get blocked and will i be able to use the sim
i live outside the US.
thank you.

I got a hold of a verizon GS5 and am on the Tmobile network.
I am searching everywhere to see if it is possible to unlock this phone and flash Tmobile Rom/Kernel/Modems.
I am under the impression that the hardware is the same for tmobile and verizion versions of the GS5 and the phone is "SIM unlocked", however there are features that cannot be accessed with verizon software on the tmobile network. This would require the bootloader to be unlocked I think.
I would be wiling to use my phone as a test project to see if this is a possibility.
If this is something that is already in the works, Here are the details of my phone in question.
Model# SM-G900V
Android Version 5.0
Baseband Version G900VVRUZBOK3
Kernel Version [email protected] #1
Build # LRX21T.G900VVRUZBOK3
Configuration Version J13.SAM.SMG.900V.1
I would even be wiling to Flash a Stock Tmobile ROM so Tmobile features all work.

Hello,
What is the difference, other than carrier bloatware, in a carrier-unlocked Galaxy S7 (G930[A,T,V...etc]) vs a factory unlocked S7 (G930U)? I am planning to buy a T-mobile S7 at full price and then get it unlocked by T-mobile customer rep because it is cheaper for me to do that than buy a factory unlocked version.
The following questions are what I have thought to ask so far:
Installing custom ROMs -- can I install custom ROMs for the G930U on the carrier-unlocked version?
Unlocking bootloader -- Can I unlock the bootloader for the carrier-unlocked version?
Factory Image -- If I just want to get rid of T-mobile bloatware but keep Samsung's factory image/ROM, can I install the factory image of the G930U on the carrier-unlocked version?
What other limitations are there, if any, between the 2 unlocked versions?
Thank you for all your feedback and time.

You can't go custom or any other fun things with any US model S7 (Snapdragon)
You need the International S7 (G930F)
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking about getting the international but I heard it has poor reception with US carriers

Can't help you with that one I'm afraid, hopefully people in the US using International S7s can reply
Maybe make a new thread titled:
"Anyone in the US using G930F?"

I have a factory unlocked s7 and I'm using it on T-Mobile. I am having some issues though. I am not getting LTE in places where I had LTE with my S4. I also get 3G a lot when I am supposed to have LTE and no data goes through on 3G for some reason. Not sure if it is an issue with the model I have or if it is a common issue. The factory unlocked one has the bands for T-Mo USA though.
Also there is a thread about this in the tmobile specific galaxy s7 subforum https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/help/using-sm-g930f-t-mobile-t3335753
Sorry about cross posting. A mod can delete my other thread. I didn't realize there was a Q & A forum.
I'm just looking to see if there has been any development on rooting and flashing for this model.
From what I have read I cannot.
Just looking for some one to confirm that the bootloader is still blocking everything.
Carrier is Verizon
SM=P905V
Android 5.1.1
Stock tablet, never been hacked.
Thanks in advance. I'm needing to know this due to a dispute I am having with big V.
Anyone?????????
Hi,
I've acquired a N950U recently and unfortunately there is no Tmobile device unlock app installed on it.
I searched for official Tmobile stock firmware but on every one I tried (many many) there wasn't that particuliar app in them.
I can't yet root the phone as this is a bootlader v4. I also tried to switch with U1 firmware but can't use my simcard or create an APN.
I get always sim card is not supported and in APN section a message that I'm not allowed to create any.
Can anyone help me to get the T-Mobile device unlock app compatible with my N950U?
ps: I already searched this apk file but none of which I found was compatible with my phone.
