Can anyone help me to unlock my phone to accept my simcard it is locked on a German T-Mobile simcard the phone is an IPhone 5 Copy with android on it
-Also please comment who know how to do this
It appears your [Q] is completely irrelevant to this particular device, therefore the thread is being moved to a more appropriate forum.
Hi, I downloaded kingroot from this website and rooted my phone without thinking ahead, I struggled but I managed to eventually solve the probelm by unlocking the bootloader :crying: now I'm faced with another issue, my wifi and dual sim card aren't working, I pressed alot of place to get my phone working before I unlocked the bootloader, i even did -fast boot flash flash recovery, ( that might have been where i got the problem with the wifi and sim) Anyways I would appreciate if you could help me get my wifi and sim working again, I have motorla 2gen dual sim, Australia . Also where can I download the lastest stock firmware 6.0 , I don't feel like rooting my phone anymore, this is way more complicated than jailbreaking on iphone.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
Can you please confirm that you are using the Motorola Moto G 2nd Gen Dual Sim? This is so I can direct you to the correct forum so experts may help you.

Hello community,
I´ve searched everywhere to solve this issue without success - I hope you´ll be able to provide a solution.
I´ve bought an unlocked S7 with Qualcomm/Snapdragon in the U.S. (no carrier contract) - I´ve used the phone for about 2 months with a U.S. local SIM card and everything worked fine.
Back at my homecountry I wanted to insert a new SIM from a local german provider but the phone refused to accept it.
Error message: Invalid SIM (please insert the UICC which came with the device) mhhhh, the device didn´t came with any UICC?!?! Looks like a simlock...
In several articles about the S7 I´ve read following e.g. "S7 will lock to a carrier once a SIM card is inserted" .... how can it be? I mean is it true?
So I wanted to root the device but I´ve noticed really quick that the Qualcomm/Snapdragon version has a locked bootloader, means root is not possible at the moment
Simple question
- Is there aaaany way to open/unlock the device to a new SIM carrier?
I just want to use my phone :crying:
Thanks in advance for your support.
Best regards

That option does only unlock the screen remotely, nothing else, nothing to do with sim card

US phone will not work in the EU, as far as I know. Even if the radios are capable, there are blocks in place via Samsung, FCC anb EU that won't let it happen. Could be wrong, but yeah.

Maybe you can try to activate developers options by pressing on build number in software info 5 times. Under developments options there is an option for OEM unlock, try that.

Hello raj_p, this option is already activated. Didn´t work.
I guess I will try to use the service of unlockbase and give it a try...
Already told you that it's not happening. Galaxy phones are region locked.

Hello MattBooth,
yes you did. I just received feedback from Samsung Germany and you are right. There is really a regional lock between US & EU versions.
According support team here in Germany I have to contact the region where the phone was sold.
I will contact the US Samsung support and chek if it is possible to unlock it. I will keep you in the loop.
By the way - I would still prefer a root solution...hope it will not take too long until someone will find a way to root a Snapdragon.
Other solutions are still welcome...go on with the tips :good:
Bye
How about flashing a different CSC firmware via Odin?? No need for root to do that.
But....i have no clue if it will even work??

Hello Major7070,
thanks for this very valid comment - I´ve never heard that a CSC can be flashed with a locked bootloader but if it is possible it could solve my issue...maybe at least :fingers-crossed:
@all, does anyone know if a CSC will help me in this case?
This is the current situation:
- Samsung Germany replied to my request following - yes, there is a regional lock in this phone, please contact the support of the origin country.
- Samsung USA replied following - there is nothing like a OEM regional lock in this phone - there is just a carrier lock by Boost Mobile, please get in contact with Boost Mobile
Boost mobile replied - we will help you with the unlock but you have to fulfill 3 requieremts:
1st - you need to be a boost mobile customer or former customer
2nd - the device should not be reported as stolen :good:
3rd - the device need to be at least 12 months old
I failed on requirement no. 1 & 3 - furthermore Samsun GER and USA gave contratict answers.
I didn´t even purchased the phone with a Boost contract - just used a Boost Mobile SIM during the three months.
The issue can not be caused by a carrier Simlock because if it would be created by it the phone would ask for the Network unlock code of each invalid SIM which is inserted to the device BUT it does not.
=> if this would be the case e.g. Unlockbase could help me with the issue but they can´t
OMG...I´m going crazy.
Thank you.
Best regards

I'm interested to hear if you found a solution to this? I have a U.S. S7 and I want to take it to Germany here in a month. I've been trying to get a Sim unlock code here last night but haven't had a success through att. Have you tried purchasing a code from a third party seller?

After all this answers it's seems that your S7 is Sim locked. YOU should try an online service for sim unlock your device. There are several app on play store, about 20 usd for that and a code is usualy provided in hours. At least for europe. All the apps provide full refound if the code is not found. Search for imei unlocker or unlockscope in play store
Good luck!

Hello calinormy,
this were my first thoughts as well - but as I said, the phine is not asking for the "network unlock code".
I was in contact with several unlock providers and they said, that they can´t do anything for me as long as the phone is not requesting this code.
@all, I mean I´m willing to pay for such an unlock code...at least it is a try - but is there any way to insert the code via hotkeys if the phone does not request it?
Thanks.
Bye
Have you tried to factory reset the phone with the original sim inserted and then once complete insert the local EU sim? You might have to get a T-mobile USA sim to have the phone request a carrier unlock, not sure why that would matter but it's worth a shot.
SOLVED
Hello all,
just want to inform you guys that the issue with the "Invalid SIM" is solved now - BUT there is a new issue.
FYI
I had to downgrade my device with the stock ROM (see software Version)
Baseband was G930PVPU2APE1 => and after downgrade G930PVPU2APC5
The unlock was done by Samsung unlock remote client from 123unlock.nl
Log:
22:52:50 - Starting ADB Server
22:52:50 - ADB Device: SM-G930P
22:52:52 - SW Version: G930PVPU2APC5 (Android: 6.0.1)
22:52:52 - Platform: MSM8996 - Chip: MSM8996
22:52:52 - Phone SNR: 00000000000
22:52:52 - Hardware Version: REV0.6
22:52:52 - USB Mode: MTP ADB
22:52:52 - Uploading UICC package.. [OK]
22:52:55 - Unlocking.. [OK] Lock:0
22:53:02 - MSL/SPC:359276
22:53:02 - Uploading SEC package.. [OK]
22:53:02 - Unlocking SEC.. [OK]
22:53:04 - MSL/SPC: 359276
22:53:04 - UICC Unlock Done..
I have a new issue now:
The device does not connect to a network operator by itself and furthermore the option "Network operator" is not available in the settings (see attached pictures)
Any idea how to solve this problem or should I open a new topic?
Thanks.
What does it show your imei as?
Sent from my SM-G920T using XDA-Developers mobile app
My guess is that you will have to upgrade to the latest ROM you already had installed. It might be that the IMEI cannot be read since that was upgraded with the ROM (and a downgrade of that partition will never happen)
thanks acejavelin I got the phone rooted and flashed with supersu. the bootloader and phone is unlocked, system modified code 3 . the phone still won't accept a sim card from another carrier? it will not let me put it in GSM mode from CDMA mode?? still says unauthorized for this user?? what now? any help is still appreciated. thanks.

In order to 'unlock the SIM' you need to do hardware modifications... The SIM from Sprint is soldered to the board, you need some skill and proper tools in order to do this.
The Photon Q is not a 'world phone' - it does not have a SIM slot to just pop in any SIM.
Good News !!! SIM CARD MOD IS HERE !!! - that thread covers the topic, but again - this is not like popping out the old SIM and popping in a new one.
Good luck.
