Evening all.
Is there any way to get O2 UK branded firmware for my unlocked p20 pro? I'm on O2 however I don't have the option of WiFi calling as I bought my handset from the Carphone warehouse?
Cheers

Hello,
Those of you who have taken an o2 branded HTC HD7 handset on an upgrade in the UK - can you confirm if the handset is SIM locked to the o2 network or is it unlocked and therefore able to take any providers SIM?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Yes it is sim locked and has o2 branding on the rom.
But if you/frend have a o2 contract you can unlock it for free as long its been active on that sim.
Many thanks for your response - appreciate it!
Hi Guys
I'm from South Africa. I'm looking at getting a Huwawei P8 Lite but problem is it's Network Locked to the Service Provider that I'm taking it from.
It's on contract so the provider will only unlock it after 24 months. I don't wish to use the provider sim in the phone.
Can anyone advise if it's possible to unlock the phone and allow me to use any sim.
Just want to know before I go out and sign up for the contract
Thanks
Hello from Montenegro. In our country is the same rule, if you buy device from some Network Operator, it's locked to that network. But, this device comes unlocked. I've buyed this device on that way, way you're talking about, but it's unlocked. My friend buyed from the other Network Operator, and it's also unlocked. My sister form Serbia buyed same devce, and it's also unlocked. You can try to put your sim card before you buy that phone, to look if that's same in your country. In my country other devices comes locked to NP, but this comes unlocked.
Mo_786, if you are from South Africa, you're okay. It's illegal to sell a network-locked phone in SA. It's been that way for decades. Which provider is this?
To be more helpful:
What they can do is deliver phones with hamstrung firmware. So in the P8 lite's case, Vodacom have a custom ROM that disables the second sim-card, because they want you to buy their expensive data. But you can use any sim from any network in the first sim slot.
I have a Vodacom-contracted P8 lite ALE-L21 that has the bootloader unlocked and has been flashed to the dual-sim-capable European official B564 ROM. I have a Cell C sim for calling and an Afrihost sim for data.
In Croatia, you can request the unlock code immediately after you signed the contract, or if you buy the phone prepaid you can request it after a year.
In my case, the phone already came unlocked so i didn't even have to request the code.
Hi Proze.za
Where did you get the p8 lite flashed to enable dual sim capability?
I bought the S10 5G version (G977N) in Korea before, but I am not very convenient to use it in the UK. Not long ago, Vodafone and EE both launched their own S10 5G. My mobile phone card is Vodafone, and I want to know if I can change my mobile phone to Vodafone version. I hope to get your reply. Thank you.
Given that I’m probably not going to root the phone or anything which unlocked version is better for the UK- do I have to worry about region lock even if it’s carrier unlocked

Hi,
I have been using the U.S Unlocked Snapdragon s10 version in the U.K for a few months.
No issues for me so far.
The only network issue you may run in to, is the 3 Network. The phone does not work on their 2G connections, but all other networks are good to go.
I have traveled in a few EU countries (UK, Spain, Italy, Romania) with my unlocked US S10, using local SIM/carriers (mostly Vodafone, sometimes roaming from one country to another).
I didn't have any issues...
Hello. I purchased an S10 in the USA from T-Mobile the phone is still being paid. I came to Portugal, is there any way to unlock it? If so, SIM card in Portugal will catch network, I will not have problems with it?
