Hello,
I want to unlock my phone because it is network locked.
I have the IMEI and the IMSI num, my phone is developper unlocked.
I will do because in France, there is a new law which permit to change operator without revocation fees due to a taxes increasing on the mobile bill.
But to have the unlock code free, you must wait 6 month, and the law is suitable only for 4 months.
I think that the unlock code is in the registry or you can revoke the lock by writing the registry.
Thanks.
Maybe this can help How to Unlock Samsung Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Phone
Ps: which law you are talking about? Loi Chatel?
[I can't put any URL]
There is lots of article in Google with those keywords : "Augmentation TVA Mobile"
In fact, the global taxes (called TVA) for mobile will grow 5.5% to 19.6% in February (the first).
So the government has decided to permit to leave freely your operator to choose another without pay any revocation fee.
We can benefit of this favor for 4 month, but I bought my Phone in December.
So I can change operator but I must pay to unlock it by the operator.
I already tested your solution but it's doesn't work because we must buy a 250$ box in addition of this software is detected as a virus.

Thank you, I received a letter from SFR too, but didn't pay attention to it
It seems you can even end your "contrat". But it seems we have no choice anyways, because with another operator, we are going to pay 19.6% TVA anyways!
But it's an argument to reduce the bill when you call revocation service.
If your phone is unlocked you can go out and I'm pretty sure that there will have a price war to grab clients of other operator.
I haven't received the letter for the moment (SFR too).

Out of topic.
Ok, so the man asked for a solution to unlock his phone, and you all started talking about VAT and taxes in France...is this the way to help someone?
Ok if you want to unlock your phone, I have not found a free solution yet but for a cheap paid solution you can go to xtcclip . com website. The tool is simple and costs around 21 pounds (in euros is less). This is a fair solution as you can unlock an unlimited number of phones with that stuff.

The XTC is for HTC phones only. Great if you have one. Useless if you don't.
guys still there is no solution for our version (the one from Buyspry) i wonder if anyone found a solution to unlock the device ? There is a website they are asking for 69$ with gurante for unlocking it with app , like they will put your device in to a TMobile database so after that the unlock app will be function , so this is our only choice ? paying money ?

any news?
I purchased it 4 days ago, two days ago they warned that I could use the app to unlock, it did not work, I told them and I'm waiting for their response.
https://www.onlineunlocks.com/tmobile-lg-g5-h830-official-unlock
49usd
For an unlock, cant vouch for them though.
are you guys trying the unlock app on the stock rom or 20i_un ROM? There were couple of reports that the unlock app worked only by going into stock ROM (thus losing the unlock first) and then using the Device Unlock app. Verify this with the website you purchased from before doing anything, I wouldn't accept any responsibility if you lose your soft unlock and the Device Unlock you bought doesn't work either. Good luck.
I tried the other day to get one of their Facebook csr's to escalate the imei to eligible list but they wouldn't. Funny thing is they recommended using a 3rd party unlocking service to get the imei eligible. I asked which one? No answer apart from look on Google lol....
In terms of all these unlock services what I would do before flashing a new ROM so the unlock app works is check your imei on T-Mobile's imei status check page first : https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx (once your service provider confirms they've done the job)...

Hi,
in some tests and reviews they are talking about devices with 64GB internal storage capacity. But if i search for it, it's almost impossible to find offers. I found two offers. Both sellers present phones with EAN 8801643085445. Can somebody confirm this capacity?
Thanks in advance
*edit*
After a long search i found it. Samsung sells the Galaxy A8 with 64 GB in middle east. I have no clue why it's restricted to this region.
Here's the number: SM-A530FZKGXSG
Here's the samsungpage: (i am not allowed to post as new member)
There are some sellers which import it to europe. But i have no experiences in warranty. 4G shall work...
I ordered one piece with crossed fingers and hope it works. At least, I hope the post will help somebody, who is searching for it too
Hi there!
I was looking for the same model and have realized the same thing you've found.
About availability, I found it on eBay. Where did you find it?
About warranty, if you need local warranty, you have to buy it into your country.
If you're ok with European warranty, it has to be sold by an European entity with rights to do so.
If you don't care about warranty, well you can get it whenever you like it.
I'm seriously thinking in trying to understand in how to keep it under the 32Gb

Hi Pirata, Here are my experiences:
I ordered it on ebay. There are some sellers which are specialized in grey imports Some of them offer a one year warranty. I paid 345€.
As opportunity there's a onlinestore called techinthebasket. They deliver from GB. But you have to pay a fee of 20 €, if you want send the phone back.
No import fee as long as they deliver from european country. Most of them deliver from GB as long as GB is part of EU ^^
At least, every A8 with 64GB is imported from Middle East I bet. Its working with european simcards. I readed to start the phone without simcards (also to install updates and doing resets). If the phone is resetting with simcards, the country ID (MID/MID/MID) will be changed and as a result you don't get updates anymore.
I am very happy with this phone. Its a big boost in compilation to my old Honor 5X
It's unique here... and it's mine ^^

Hi there and thank you for sharing your experience.
I have some questions regarding your post. Please let me know.
You say that the shop you mention imposes you to pay €20 in case you need to send back phone for any reason.
Do you know why about that?
You say that they deliver from GB. Can you tell me if the invoice is from GB or from some other EU county or worldwide country?
Where have you read about the fact of not turning on the device for the first time, or reset to default, or wipe, or update the device with the ota updates with the local European sim card inserted?
Which should be the correct procedure for using a 64Gb A8 in Europe? Simply do those four things I mentioned all without any sim inside?
Do you know why about that? What are the precise consequences of doing that with the sim inside? Only not receiving otas updates? Is there a return back possibility, or if I forget to remove the sim card and do one of those things the phone ends up in not receiving any ota updates, not even if I wipe everything away with no sim inserted and start all over again??
Thank you very much.

it seems, the online store techinthebasket provides a german and an english page. The return-fee of 20€ is noticed at the german page only. I don't know the reason. At least I didn't bought it there.
The update policy of Samsung is pretty annoying. If they don't sell officially a phone in a country, they don't provide software updates. When you insert the simcard before you start the phone first, it will recognize its a different simcard and ask you to restart for configuration. This "configuration" will change the language and countrysettings. Once it's changed, theres only the opportunity to flash a stockrom.
There are several german threads because it's not selled official here.

So wait a minute...if I start the phone for the first time without sim, once I insert it, it changes configuration and since that time on I will no longer ota updates????
Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
When you start the phone first time with inserted simcard, it will ask for a restart. You can skip and ignore it.
If you allow the restart / configuration, then you are in danger to not get Ota-updates anymore. That's why it's recommended to remove simcards when you reset or update

So first boot, reset or update better to do without sim cards inserted, and every time I get an ota update, remove all sim before applying the update.
Is this correct?

I bought in eBay the 64 gb model and I've got 2 OTA updates with the SIM inserted, one of them oreo. I live in Spain.

Hi,
I found that there is way better price than wondemobile. But there is no customer reviews at all. Maybe some of you has some experience with them?

Good morning.
I bought it from Eurocart3 at eBay. I was told they are the same as T-dimension.
Shipped from UK to Spain. Paid by PayPal and received in 6 days!!
Some guys on a Spanish forum bought directly from t- dimension without issues, some had a bit of delay in shipping.
Best regards

Just checked...
If you need references for T-dimension check on internet and search for "seguimiento N9860" and you will find the Spanish forum in which many have bought from them. You'll be able to read ( in Spanish though) good or bad feedbacks.

Well it seems that ebay is a better option. Because on website purchases they requires to much personal data ( copies of debit card, health care card ? idiotic
That is why I bought through eBay.
Some Spanish colleagues who bought directly at T-dimension had to send a copy of some kind of receipt in order to proof delivery address.
Some have been lucky and received within 1 - 2 weeks some a bit more... Some have had stock issues delaying delivery but in general all ok.
For sure eBay + PayPal was my better option as I did not know T-dimension before.
Hope it helps.

Hi! No, I'm Spain and did not get them.
They ship from UK or Germany.
Something that does not have good feedback with Eurocart3 is that they take a lot of time to reply to any questions.
When I bought the phone, I was sent a tracking number from DHL which did no have any updates for 4 days, on the 5th it showed shipped and on the 6th I got it at home.

I bought from them my Snapdragon version of Ultra SM-N9860 via eBay.
Seller name is gadget892. Took 12 days to get it (Edinburgh in Scotland)
DHL tracking was not showing anything for the first few days it got added.
2-3 days to reply to a message. Happy at the end, the only issue is I didn't do enough research and didn't know that this version won't work on any 5G network in UK. I don't understand why as it used to be just a matter of checking bands, now it is far more complicated for my small brain.

I've had absolutely no luck with Google Pay. I was using it on my Note 8 for years and since getting the Note 20 Ultra, it won't complete a contactless transaction.
I've been reading about people in other countries with Google Pay not working with their SIM card. Could you please tell me which network you're using and if your SIM is in position 1 or 2?
I have a feeling that my giffgaff SIM could be responsible, since it's a MVNO and the HK CSC seems to treat it like an O2 SIM.
Thank you

My SIM is in SIM 1 slot, using EE network. Don't really know much about SIM cards affecting contactless payments. I thought this payment method should work even when you are offline with just NFC active.
I have N9860OZS1ATI3, is it any different to yours ?

Same firmware as you.
So there are three different NFC methods for payment, I remember back in Google Wallet days you needed a compatible SIM card with a secure element to activate contactless payments.
The options now are: SE SIM card, Android operating system or Embedded Secure Element.
Google Pay support asked if I had a SIM card with a secure element and when I said I wasn't sure they told me to select HCE method with is Host Card Emulation, I suspect that's the same as the Android operating system option in Samsung.
Regardless, none of it works. I've tried them all, removing cards, switching NFC method then adding the cards back in. I suspect I'll need to stick a 'proper' (as opposed to MVNO) SIM card in, reset the whole phone and try again.
Thank you for confirming that it's possible to get this working though!
Remember two years ago I tried Google Pay on uncertified Honor Note 10 that I imported from Wondamobile.
None of my cards worked on it for wireless payment (tried HSBC, Loyds and Amex) apart from Monzo bank that worked straight away. Note sure if there are other factors related to what bank works and what doesn't.

What do you mean by "uncertified" .9860 is certified by Google so no problem with that (if it works in you region, and don't have mess around with addreses etc)

He was talking about an Honor Note 10, not the N9860.
Anyway... I put an O2 SIM into the second slot and Google Pay needed me to add my cards again and now they work!
It's confusing because I can't seem to find a common denominator as to why this problem is occuring.
SIM1: giffgaff - Google Pay doesn't work
SIM2: O2 - Google Pay works (and presumably would work in SIM1 also)
So you'd think the giffgaff SIM is the problem but Google Pay works in my Note 8 with the same giffgaff SIM. Also, Google support asked me to switch the secure element from SIM to HCE (or Android system as it seems to be called in the Note 20) but that didn't work, nor did embedded secure element.
The only thing that kind of makes sense is the fact that giffgaff is a MVNO and the TGY firmware thinks it's O2; perhaps a CSC from outside the UK doesn't recognise UK MVNOs which leads to some sort of conflict?
I've seen tons of videos and every one of them ends at pm uninstall thing which doesn't works for me, mine is T-Mobile version
I also hear that it got patched, any other new working methods? I would appreciate help <3

It's because i bought this phone as unlocked in my country and it turned out it was sim locked, when i checked everything was fine so i thought it was carrier free. That's the main problem
Ask them for unlock via any methods here described. They usually do it! Contact them.
