Unlock Sim Slot/Rooting - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if it is possible to unlock this sim slot for any carrier use? Also, is there a better root method than this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/help/guide-how-to-root-salaxy-tab-s2-t817t-t3383736
Considering it's based on 5.1.1, Im currently on 6.0.1 and have little luck in finding any other method. I'm not sure this method would even work considering its 5.1.1.
All help appreciated! Thank you!

I have been using my T817W issued by Bell Canada but I have used local SIM in Japan and Hong Kong without any problem. Yours is a T817T by Verizon?

Impossible. The Verizon variant can only have the latest Verizon firmware installed

Does this mean the SM-925V is useless in Mexico?
I cannot seem to pickup LTE and I keep getting "SIM Card is not from Verizon"
I'm trying to use a Telcel SIM card.
Seems I was thinking the same as the above, using something like PingPong to switch.
You need to add the apn manually. Then deactivate notification of verizon service

Is there anyway to downgrade Lollipop?
I am also in the same boat with OP, I have a Sprint HTC One M8 Harmon/Kardon with Marshmallow 6.20.654.3. I live overseas and i need to get this phone sim-unlocked. Can this be done with the current software version or do I need to downgrade the ROM to be able to sim-unlock my phone for use with an international GSM-Network?

Sprint Note 8 on T-Mobile

Can I flash a T-Mobile Rom to my Sprint Note 8 with Odin? I currently have it unlocked and working on T-Mobile but it keeps trying to configure the network which is draining my battery. It also doesn't get VoLTE.
Anyone have experience doing this? If I can't do a T-Mobile ROM, can I flash an unlocked ROM to get it to stop the network configuration and get VoLTE back?
Thanks in advance!

cj.lyon21 I'm in the exact same situation, and I'm wondering what you decided and how it worked out? Did you flash T-mobile, or did you flash Unlocked on your Sprint phone. Thanks!! Hope to avoid pitfalls.

Check out the carrier switching threads. Not only is there a detailed step by step guide on how to accomplish this, but people also talk about how it worked. HINT: If you flash the TMo formware, it will be exactly like buying a TMo branded Note 8.
And speaking as someone with T-Mobile, there's really not much difference between the T-Mo firmware and the unlocked U1 firmware. TMo doesn't really add much bloat. Just the TMo boot animation and some apps you can uninstall. You gain RCS calls with TMo, but lose the U1 spam filter. WiFi calling and VoLTE still work with the U1 firmware.

Flash Firmware to S10E T-Mobile?

I have the carrier locked S10E for T-Mobile. I would like to flash the firmware to make it the unlocked bloatware free version. Is this possible and if so is there a guide how to do this?
Thanks

Check this out and although person asked to flash T-Mo firmware onto an unlocked model, but yours would be the opposite - same instructions pretty much except you need the firmware of your choice

Can i flash the sm-g977b firmware onto the sm-g977n device?

Hey 5G Pioneers,
I am wondering can I flash the sm-g 977b firmware onto the sm-g 977n device through the Odin? Did someone make it?
Since these two models are all using the same Exynos 9820 chips
And from my previous experience of using my galaxy s8, Samsung actually enabled me to flash the firmware in different regions only if the devices were using the same chip version.
I am currently in Australia. The Korean version of 977N is much cheaper, and it seems that is the only network unlock version that I could buy from the market.
Not sure where are you in Australia but I bought mine from a Telstra Sales Rep (based in CBD, Melbourne) where he got a discount code and gave its to me for AUD 1400 for the 512 GB Majestic Black Version, unlocked , I'm using Optus, VoLTE, VoWIFI works fine on it.

Hi, did he unlock the phone or was it factory unlocked already?

Was already factory unlocked. I didn't have to insert Telstra SIM to activate it.

Thanks. Is this the exynos or Snapdragon version? I'm planning to buy the 256gb version and use in India. So wanted to check before I ask my sister to buy.

Hi everybody,
On Sammobile website, I found 4 firmware Korean variants. I tried getting more information on the "KOO" variant to see if its a stock Samsung firmware without Carrier Apps/Bloatware without luck. I couldn't get any detailed information whether it can be flashed over any other Korean variant. Can anyone here clarify if its possible and If yes provide further details?
Attached a snapshot.
Many thanks

That is the non bloatware Korean version but it doesn't allow me to flash it. I suspect you have to flash it with the userdata file also.
Thanks for the information,
I have a new phone so No issues with user data. How do I flash the firmware.
Thanks

Use all the files in the KOO firmware including the userdata.

Before I attempt this, Will this trigger knox? Void Warranty ? Will I be able to have OTA later on?
Thanks
I have done it several times but it seems to fail. Nothing will be triggered.

Hi,
I have successfully flashed the "KOO" variant once with and a second time without "userdata", however that did NOT remove any of the Bloatware/Carrier Apps.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
I disable the 3 apps then hide them from the app drawer.

Hi,
I did disable the apps which is great, but there menu operator items as well!
Edit : Forgot to mention that the boot logo is of the operator as well.
I was researching something about using the PIT file along with the firmware but can't find the specific PIT file for S10 5g.
Use Odin or the modified version to flash combination firmware. Then flash your desired firmware.
This is the only way I am aware to remove all carrier bloatware and boot logos.
Dual SIM

I am particularly interested in this as the 977N variant seems to be dual sim. I notice it also has additional bands to the 977B varient and I would like to put the telstra firmware to ensure operation of VoLTE VoWiFi RCS etc.
The main purpose is to use at home and overseas. So more bands and access to features (VoLTE, VoWiFI, RCS etc. on my telstra SIM and local overseas SIM) when overseas are the goal.
Unless someone can confirm that the 977N with vanilla firmware will support all the telstra features?
Thank you for your assistance
