I've recently moved to turkey where they block the phone's wireless signal by blocking the the device's IMEI on their networks
there are shops that "Crack" the phone by changing the IMEI number so the phone unlocks again
I know it removes the device's warranty .
Phone's model : sm-n960f/ds
Thank you.

nope, it wont. its a blacklist youre wanting to bypass and its not a ROM. From what youve described, you dont need to circumvent a blacklist as it would be virtually impossible for a turkey provider to blacklist every IMEI but their own
---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------
from what it sounds like, you just need the correct CSC flashed on your phone for its specific carrier. Just download that and flash it with the HOME_CSC so that it doesnt factory reset the device
---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------
it seems that Turkey will allow for cell IMEI's to work in their country for 5 or 6 days at which time they will indeed block you... (talk about a messed up FCC group) and if you register your IMEI with your passport, then youll again have access. If youre wanting to stay off their government radar, i get it. But youll find it quite difficult to get anyone to talk to you about how to change an IMEI. Its not really all that hard, its just VERY against the rules of XDA

Of course they don't blacklist every imie in the world. They simply have a whitelist from the sounds of it where as you stated, new or "foreign"devices get 6 days and then they get banned. While on the other hand phones meant for the country are registered with the government beforehand and added to the list. Hence why I used the term whitelist as that's the more feasible way of implementing that. I just wanted to point out that flashing the turkey based rom won't do a thing for this particular problem. And as you also pointed out, it's against forum rules to help spoof imie's that's pretty much where this ends

not necessarily. he could register the IMEI with Turkey too.
---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------
plus, it seems that they have increased the amount of days from 60 to 120 before they block the IMEI
@Bober_is_a_troll it seems far more like a blacklist btw. The turkish cell providers give the gvmnt the IMEIs on the daily, and they compare the registered ones against the unregistered ones and blacklist the ones that show up on their system for more than 120 days. A Whitelist is the exact opposite. Blocking everything and allowing access from those IMEIs. That would be totally fine if they didnt allow IMEI connections for the first 120 days, but since they do, its a Whitelist

You would have to overwrite the IMEI number with a different one, which is not blacklisted in order to get a blacklisted device to work. Over submit an application to have the IMEI number whitelisted.
I buy phone from someone and i used for 1 year now my phone say phone is not allowed for voice call i don't know what happened i just call t-mobile they said someone block my imei number i dont know why and now i don't know how to fix my phone

Warning / FYI:
After installing and running Nemesis Note 7 Rom, AT&T suspended my service tonight and also blocked / blacklisted my imei. Mind you I am using an N910T3 and have been flashing custom Roms on this note 4 since January of this year. I installed the ROM yesterday and have been messing with it up until 7:30 tonight when I realized I didn't have mobile data. I thought I broke something by flashing governor tuner but uninstalling it and reapplying data fixes wasn't working so I restored a backup that had no issues and still no data. Confirmed by logging into my at&t account that it had been suspended and then began a lengthy chat with at&t rep which is how I found out they blacklisted the imei also in addition to suspending service.
The representative was adamant that the phone imei had been blocked by TMobile, but a call to them confirmed that while at&t put in the blacklisting, reported the phone as stolen as soon as Nemesis ROM registered a note 7 to their system yesterday night, and that there was nothing in their system they could do to unblock the imei. I
Long story short, after explaining the concept of custom Roms to the rep, at&t has put an unblock request in to be resolved by the 14th, hopefully it works, and just a word of warning to everyone!
PS. I had also changed build.prop product model to SM-G935F shortly after installing yesterday, so the red flag must've gone into their system as soon as it went online. Maybe developers need to stop putting the N9300 as the product model stock to avoid this!!

I find this hilarious! I'm so glad that I kept my N910C running on the stock Samsung OS.

I have just modified the model number to SM-N920F in build.prop (as suggested by a helpful user to another post I made) and stopped receiving the notifications!
DONE!
glad i parted ways with ports long back. stability is most important.

It wouldn't take only 2 days. Bruteforcing bootloader is not a router. Router can be bruteforced in seconds. In order to bruteforce a bootloader you have to create way too many tools and attack it by exploiting it.
Bootloader id is a combination of 3 serials x 16.

I never used 3rd party apps, never setted up 3rd party apps just the stocks. My phone is on stock, too.
Interesting, that the 4 digit is realy my last digits of my phone number.
I installed Malwarebytes to my SM-G950F and after a full scan the result: Android/Trojan.Svpeng.rn in executed app "START". I don't know that this is a stock app or not but I know this was not installed by me.
After the removing process from the main locked screen I have lost the 3 round bubbles during the unlocking method.
Has ever somebody seen something mail as the citated?
Somebody has some ideas what to do? (I will not pay for nothing, I know the ransomware method.)
Could it be that I have this scam via once-used open WiFi connection without my know?
Thank you for your help.

Hello,
A wrote to the Gmail Help Forum, and they send me this answer:
They may have picked it up from some other hacked site. There's been a trend of spam sent out that includes people's password. It's from hacking some other site and getting the unencrypted registration information, then sending out scams to all those addresses. It's a bit freaky when you get one of those.
If course if you're concerned about your account (and who shouldn't be), you should review all your account security and recovery settings: http://gmailaccountrecovery.blogspot.com/#security (scroll down to: When you reclaim Your Account).

I will find these addresses and post them here in the next few days.
In the meantime go to Huawei site send mail to the address there then go to all the other localized ones and do the same. ex. huawei.co.uk huawei.ca etc. (these examples aren't correct but that's the idea ... can't exactly remember right now)
Tell them you are developing apps or something and need access. Maybe if we all do this a lot something will happen? Let us know what they say to you.

Dear Lloyd,
Thank you for contacting Huawei Support UK.
In response to your enquiry, we would like to inform you that the unlock code application service has ended, as of July 25th 2018, to ensure user experience and safety. Huawei used to provide users with corresponding unlock codes to meet personalized requirements due to the usage of different ROMs, which was an extra service.
However, due to possible problems caused by unlocking your device (such as system built-in function failure, device freezing, and power consumption increase) we will no longer provide the code.
We are sincerely sorry for any possible inconvenience and we wish you a nice day!
Best regards,
Sandra

Thread closed due to security issue.
Even if your story is 100% accurate; discussing, sharing, links, or guides to bypassing a locked device is never appropriate on Xda, and this should be for obvious reasons.
I was just handed the phone and was told that if I can get through the authorization lock, I can keep it. Does anyone know how to bypass it? I've looked online and it all looks like B.S., and the previous owner does not have the email. Help??
These type of posts have received over and over again the same answer: NO, no help or guidance whatsoever will be provided here, as in such cases when somebody, for some odd reason can not unlock a device, most surely it is stolen or such, any legal owner can take the device to the carrier or samsung service to solve the issue, that is, with a proof of legal ownership

You don't think any of us here are going to believe that the previous owner doesn't have/know their own email address do you? Lmfao!!

Besides once it's been listed as stolen the carriers going to block the phones IMEI from being used so it won't be able to be used anywhere once it's blacklisted!! It's trash now!
