Flash back to original firmware, or look for the unlock patch here.
unlock patch doesn't on my phone, idont know why.and how to flash to flash back qu original firmware? is there any option on my phone? or need to find the rom?
I Have The same Problem Phone Locked to A1 ( Austria ) now phone wont work with original Sim it asks for Network pin, but the Samsung unlock tool shows no code to me
what should i do ??
I've done the normal search thing and can't find much info about whether I have a Korean phone or not. I got the phone from Vodafone UK on an upgrade and am using it on Vodafone in the UK.
According to info I have found, the United Kingdom/Ireland product code should be GT-N7000ZBAXEU for unbranded or GT-N7000ZBACPW for Carphone Warehouse. I think my phone is 'unbranded' as it did not have any Vodafone bloatware on it.
No it's not a Korean version. It's just the CSC customer support code.
You can change that yourself if you want. In the phone app, type *#272*IMEI#
replace IMEI with your phones imei code. You will then see a list of service codes. I would recommend DBT for Germany. They get updates sooner
Thanks for the quick reply and helpful information.
-EDIT- For others reading this - changing the code using the steps above seems to reset your phone to factory defaults, losing all install apps and user data in the process (well it did for me when I changed from KOR to XEU)
Hello everybody I have question about friends mobile. He bought it in USA from T-Mobile but now live in Europe. I think that there are 2 ways how to solve SIM lock right? First one: use some reliable but cheap service for unlocking by code. Second one: flash Android to global version? Can you tell me if it possible to flash N960U to some no SIM blocking Android? I flash some years ago some Samsung phones with ODIN, dont know if this can be used on phone sold in US.
I tried this https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/n960u-tmb-stock-odin-files-firmware-t3833205 but it keep asks me for unlock network code
Thank you for any advices...

maybe try n960u1 firmware instead of the regular U. use patched odin 3.13.1b to flash it.( and flash all 4 files not just the AP.md5....)
also I belive that it might be region locked. usualy to lift that a 5 min call should have been made on US soil with proper carrier sim. if he never used it on us soil then that might have been the issue.

A N960U1 rom might work. use the CCT csc for it to be completely carrier less. thats the "Unknown" variant as opposed to XAA which is USA unlocked.
use this to download the file faster than the freemium download speed on sammobile

XAA and CCT have the same files, so does all other firmware under the XAA multi csc

they have the same files but depending on the csc it will load different configs for each. using CCT is the unknown variant so it should ask the sim card what region its in and hopefully sim unlock it.

the firmware file you dl is all the same regardless.
now on the device if you can manualy set the proper CSC code then yes that should work as you mentioned. but if nothing is modified, then system will just pick the appropriate or last csc that was set in root/efs/imei/mps code.dat
there is an other thread in the forums that has a procedure to force csc code for non rooted devices. it involves adb and flashing combo firmware if I'm not mistaken.

that very well may be the case. but at least before calling it quits might as well explore all available avenues.
I purchased a usa gsm note 10+ unlocked. Since was going to use it on tmobile I set csc to tmb. Id rather get my updates via Samsung so v would like to change the csc to XAA so I get the samsung releases instead of tmobile branded. I tried searching for answer but couldn't find the post I followed before.
All I recall was I use a field code to get to the set csc. I dont think it was the imei one and if try to run
*#1234# I get the following
Running USSD code
then
Unable to process request
Hi!
I recently bought S20 FE 5G with snapdragon CPU (G781B). I need to change CSC from Polish Orange to XEO. I getting familiar with SamKey however I have incompatible firmware. As far I know there is no way to downgrade firmware because of bootloader compability.
Does anyone know if SamKey is still being developed or is it dead? Is there is any other method for changing CSC without voiding warranty? I have 3 phones in total to change CSC (mentioned G781B and two G991B).
BR,
Michael.
Did you use SamKey ?
Did it work?
