Hi there,
Recently, I've been having mobile data problems with my s6 duos
I've got an s6 duos from globe, so 1 sim slot is locked to globe and the other sim slot is open line. Recently I've been having problems connecting to mobile data using my smart sim card. In the data service network, the option to choose smart for mobile data is locked/unavailable, so I can only use my globe simcard for mobile data. I've tried using a different sim but no luck.
I was able to use my smart sim for mobile data in the past. Though I have no problem receiving texts or calls with my smart sim
Advice is much appreciated
Thanks
Also, in APN under my smart sim, I get this message
"Unable to view the access point name settings. Access is restricted for the current user profile."

My guess... flash BTU ... latest UK g920F firmware. Its kind of imposible to lock 1 sim and the 2nd sim to be unlocked.
Edit: you may lost warranty after this... and this is only my guess.
Edit2: flash a costom recovery... do a full backup so if something goes wrong you restore everything

Thanks for replying! I've never really done something like that before.. so if you could give me links and let me know what are the risks of flashing?
also my unit was purchased locally in the philippines, will a uk firmware work with it?
In settings search "profile" if the cell phone finds any ,post a screenshot of if... and you find firmware at samfirmware.com... or a guy have posted them in general section uploaded in google drive for better speed download

Hey guys! I just bought my S8 unlocked in Canada to use it with my sim card from Mexico, my S8 got blocked with that sim card and some forums recommended to use a sim card from the same country, do a 5 min phone call and everything will be nice. It didn't solve it but installed in my phone bloatware from Fido...
I fixed that lock region problem but not this one... Fido install as a bloatware Spotify, so I can only disable, cannot uninstalled unless I root my phone which I don't want to... Yet (at the end of the warranty) and of course, I want to install Spotify the premium one, but there's this little problem
app cannot be installed an existing package by the same name
I tried "uninstall" from abd with my computer and nothing... I tried using apk editor... Nothing...
If you guys know a possible solution another to root the phone, I'll appreciate
1. you can't root the canadian s8
2. change your csc to xac, this is the unbranded canadian s8 firmware https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71525525&postcount=1413 this will wipe your whole phone and you won't have any fido bloatware
I get the same error unless I'm installing immediately after a fresh wipe. I dl everything I want then install it after setup.
It worked!!!

Just taped *#272*IMEI# on my call dial and chose XAC and that's it!! I didn't even care about restore my phone like fabric... So better do a backup if someone is gonna do this
Thanks again
I bought an S7 recently with an IMEI blocked by T-Mobile.
Update: I have, successfully, flashed to G930U. This was done through Odin following this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...g930u-firmware-to-t-mobile-s7-t3533918/page1
Good news is that when I insert a different SIM card I now get access to a prompt asking for an unlock code. Maybe I can unlock it for Verizon, Sprint, etc?
Bad news is that I currently am on MintSIM which use T-Mobile networks. So it cannot be activated.
More information: I did ring up multiple times to T-Mobile and managed to get a difinitive answer that "Yes" it is still being financed, and therefore only the account holder can activate it.
I think my best option is to sell it making the bad IMEI number clear. Or to purchase a broken S7 in hopes of replacing the IMEI number physically.
Previously:
I want to switch firmware so I can unlock the IMEI without going through T-Mobile. Would it be possible to use Odin to flash Sprint firmware or Deoxed firmware?
I rooted the S7 and tried to install the Deoxed firmware through FlashFire but the S7 interrupted and restored it to default firmware. Which app files do I need to disable to stop this happening?

There is a guy that can change or unlook your IMEI, look in the forum you can find him. Change the rom or firmware does not change your IMEI.
hope it can help

I have changed the IMEI number to an old phone of mine. Which is legal AFAIK, but it still isn't letting the phone be unlocked by T-Mobile.

Hi family xda. Sorry for my bad English because it's not my native language. If you help me, you will be very happy to me.
I wanna ask some questions.
I recently bought a used SM-G930T. But i did don't know it's T mobile phone. I living in Turkey. I don't know this phone history(where did import to my country ? or who before owners, I buy that local phone shop.) Just one know it this phone import to my country abroad country. imei its the original imei write on the phone and it's box. Registered in someone's passport not illegal it's legal. I check it government site.
This phone release 6.0.1 Marshmellow. I wanna update this phone 7.0. I try manually but phone says me ''The device is up to date''. And then I download new firmware on sammobile for my phone model. SM-930T 7.0 T mobile firmware. I wanna update with odin. But I wonder it. I put in my simcard and I use this phone smoothly. I don't know this phone simlock or locked before owner. If the sim is locked the previously owner,somehow being unlocked. If I update this phone with odin 7.0. It's lockable again ? Thanks in advance.

G930TUVS4BQL2_TMB4BQL2 then odin it, it should bring your phone back to Nougot
then if you want to root and stuff follow this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616
go to under settings and account to see if that phone is using someone else account info? if its registered to google or samsung accounts with someone else name then if you do factory reset it will lock you in, other than that you shouldn't have any issues
HI all,
With CSC change not possible using codes with latest UI 3.1 update what are options to change CSC?
For ex. I have SM-N986U unlocked Tmobile device but i changed CSC to ATT as im currently using ATT Prepaid and I'm on latest Apr update for ATT
How can i revert back to Tmobile CSC?
Do i need to flash Tmobile firmware using ODIN by first flashing to U1 firmware then Tmobile firmware or can i directly flash Tmobile latest firmware with Apr update using ODIN?
Will i be able to retain my app and data if I flash Tmobile firmware?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
So you state csc change not possible then ask how to change it? lol.. and if it were as easy to just flash firmware in odin tgen that wouldve been the way to do it to begin with I would think lol
Update:
I was able to change CSC(ATT/ATT/TMB) to TMB/TMB/TMB but it was long and winded way. Just flashing firmware was not enough , need Tmobile sim to install carrier service and change CSC.
I followed the steps below:-
1) Did backup of my device using Smart Switch and removed my ATT sim.
2) Flashed latest T-Mobile firmware( N986USQU2DUC8 ) using instructions from post - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/ota-and-non-ota-firmware-for-n986u-and-n986u1.4143833/ . Also, downloaded the ODIN (patched version) and T-Mobile firmware from links in the post. Flashed HOME_CSC too.
3) After rebooting phone with new firmware , the boot up screen was still ATT and CSC was still ATT/ATT/TMB.
4)Shut down phone and inserted Tmobile SIM i had lying around.
5) On reboot, i was asked to install Tmobile carrier services and on restart , Tmobile logo came on boot up with CSC changed to TMB/TMB/TMB.
6) Now, i have esim enabled and SIM manager showing up too.

thats the normal process.. that firmware is same for each carrier.. firmware is multi csc which changes based on sim inserted.. shouldnt have to go through all of that really.. i think most ppl who have issues are trying to change csc without a active sim card or on carrier locked devices etc.
glad u figured it out tho!

Well, the confusion for most ppl who are new to Samsung and CSC, like me , is that we could change CSC with code earlier and now cannot. Didn't have these issues with pixel and iPhone.

Yes, I was able to change CSC to ATT from TMobile, enable all LTE/5G bands before One UI update.Not, sure what u find so funny .
Yes, I'm aware that there is no CSC concept in pixel or iPhone or any other other manufacturer that I'm aware nor they are crippled in terms of hardware capability from carrier software like Samsung. LTE/5G bands not being enabled , esim not being enabled etc.

actually other devices are crippled in some cased disabled entirely.. for example u cant get a tmb oneplus 9 pro 5g and use it on verizon to get 5g bcuz vzw 5g bands are disabled in tmb variant..
its really the carriers to be honest..
and I say LOL all the time even in normal convo so not actually laughing sometimes, just say it out of habit

I have phones such as Z Flip3 5G and other models that do not change CSC like older models when following the flash procedure starting with U1, but the phones never prompt a restart. I have noticed it seems to be with TMB or VZW units. Any suggestion on how to actually get the CSC to change properly or is this something they are doing with new phones to avoid being able to use them fully on other carriers?

SamKey.org
Go to the page, download theirs Samkey app, buy few credits on Ebay and you can change the CSC as you wish in a minute, the phone will reboot without loosing your data, it's the easiest way as far as I know
Hi, I have yhe following issue and I need your thoughts please.
I have a Telus plan, canadian with US roaming option.
I am traveling in US alot. I have a Note 20 Ultra U1 from Samsung USA. When in US I can only register on Tmobile and I can get 5G icon too. Won't let me on ATT or Verizon.
With same sim card in Note20 Ultra "W" variant, canadian one, it wil register on all 3 major networks in US. No issues with the sim, I guess.
Also in Canada won't get 5G ever.
My provider said nothing to do with them, Samsung told me the same.
I reseted all network setings my APN is ok. VOLTE on. Only getting acces to Tmobile.
Any ideea how I can fix this ? Is it related to CSC ? Mine is XAA.

So I have a Verizon phone and I switched to t-mobile. If I use this method to switch my csc would that lock my phone or would it stay unlocked?
