Question S21 Ultra locked? Unlocked? I'm not too sure! Help please. - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Hey guys, first of, I want to thank you for reading the post.
So I've recently bought a new S21 Ultra from Korea, on the seller's page it was stated that it's unlocked. The issue I had when I received the phone is that it starts up with the carriers (SKT(Korea Telecomm)) splash screen, and what this means is that when I entered in. I was forced to install all of SKT apps. And I can't disable them or anything. And when I put in my local sim card to test it, I could call people and it was technically working fine. But when I was using mobile data. It only activates 3G/LTE, although my sim is 4G+ and I've been using it with my all phone all the time. I've also come to noticed that there is a SKT connection thing in my setting, and I noticed that my local sim card is actually classified as a overseas sim card. So it's as if the phone is thinking I'm mobile data roaming all the time. I need help with this, is there anyway to get rid of it? I've got a screen shot to explain what's happening.

I think so as well. Man....

No.. what are you talking bout? You didn’t buy it from Samsung? you’re phone is unlocked! How else are you able to make calls?? You would have no service and your phone would give a SIM card error if it was locked. You need to change your APN settings according to your carriers. Thats it you’ll have full speed internet after you change your APN settings, to your US carriers APN, it’s currently on the Korean carriers that’s why it’s showing as overseas. Google APN settings for your carrier.
Your splash screen will always show the Korean carrier cuz it’s their device originally, if you want to change it you have to root it first. Dudes splash says Samsung cuz his is factory unlocked, it never was locked to any carrier. He bought it from Samsung directly which is why there’s no carrier stuff anywhere.
Yo OP if someone says something weird you don’t have to agree with them, you should ask them to clarify instead, that way you can correct them if they’re wrong which in this case you missed, they pointed you in the wrong direction, which certainly didn’t help you. To an outsider like myself you both seem crazy, obviously y’all have no idea what y’all talkin bout and I know it didn’t get resolved cuz the only way is my solution.

Do you reside in Korea, if not why aquire the Korean variant? If you add up all the different S21 Models then factor in all the different Service Provider's it's over one-hundred different variants. That's pretty much on Samsung, no other device manufacturer has anywhere near this many variants, it's absolutely absurd! Anytime you install firmware that doesn't match your device’s Primary CSC you should expect conflicts. If there's any comfort in the fact that thousands if not millions of users are in the same boat as you. If you need full Call Feature Compatibility it's always best to aquire your Service Provider's device. A bit of research goes a long ways when it comes to Samsung's numerous offerings.

You have to change the APN to which ever carriers APN you are using... that simple.

If you don't know how to do so. Let me know

N7 3G No Longer Unlocked?

Currently the Google Play Store is listing the Nexus 7 3G with a AT&T Logo...

Does this mean the N7 w/ 3G will be locked to AT&T, and not available as an Unlocked Device? I certainly hope not!
Okay, Scratched that... Contacted Google Device Support (Actually Got an Intelligent Person this time) and they informed that it will be unlocked, and AT&T is only listed to let buyers know AT&T Service can be used on the Device. (and he hinted at a possible AT&T Data Only plan for the N7)

Scared me too...
but with my experience with Google Support is they are often wrong...
YOu can't even select it now. For me it takes me to a page where it says, "The page doesn't exist on this server" or something.
Remove the _att from the end of the link.
strangely enough the canadian version of those pages don't have that issue. In canada (and likely UK and so on too) it's still the old "unlocked" thing in the selection and it works like it used to with the american before the change.
It is available for sale yet? Neither _att or without it works with a purchase link .
The links are fixed now, but they're out of stock I think.

They haven't started selling yet, so it's not really OOS. Also, I've seen them change the links twice now. It's still slightly broken (ie: if you click on AT&T then 3G again, it gives you an error message about not available in your country).
Any second now.....and it should go on sale......hopefully....
---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------
In stock now in the usa!!!!
It looks like they already sold out, I managed to get in an order of the Nexus 7 w/ the ATT Sim Card, but the device said 'unlocked'. The strange thing is, if you're on the page where it gives the description of the Nexus 7 3G + ATT Sim Page, if you scroll down, you'll see a 3rd Card that lists "Nexus 7 + WIFI + HSPA" w/o the ATT Logo and if you click that one I see that it's "Not available in your country"...

HTC one with bad esn from craiglist

Hi,
I bought a used HTC one on craiglist only to find out that is is stolen. Att wouldnt allow me to activate it.
I am so stressful now. What other option do I have with other carrier at all? Don't tell me to use as a wifi fone please.
Here is my IMEI. I dont understand that I already check that IMEI first hand, it shows clean, but somehow I still got scam.

Unfortunately there isn't much you can do with this, it has happened to me in the past also. Just because the IMEI is clean when you bought it doesn't mean that a few days / weeks / months later the original owner doesn't report it lost / stolen at which point it becomes blocked to you.
The only resolution is for the person who reported it lost / stolen to the networks contact the network and advise they have located it, and they will then lift the IMEI bar

So there is no hope trying with T-mobile?
I just check with Imei checker, and they say T-mobile is clean. Do carriers share the blacklist?

Ive bought a lot of phones on CL. Ive only been burned once.
What i did learn is that if they have Asurion they have 30 days to file a Lost/Stolen claim with them.
Then another 120 days to finalize the claim and pay the deductible.
I had this happen to me when i got a TMO GS3. I had it 4 months and then one day it didnt work. I followed up with TMO and found it was listed as stolen. I knew the store manager and she remembers when i had them check it. She did some digging and found out the 30 day / 120 day timeline.
The crappy thing is, i emailed Asurion multiple times to let them know the person who reported it stolen was scamming people and using insurance fraudulently and they didnt care.
With insurance its easy to scam people. Without it not so much.

SM-S920L (Straight Talk[Verizon]) Galaxy Grand Prime 5.0.2

Excellent. The only other person besides myself in the world with this variant. I have posted the the boot.img,recovery.img, and build.prop in another thread to have a custom recovery made, but havent heard anything back yet.
I too am having an issue finding anything for this phone. Not to tech savvy myself but I'm sure something will come soon. Black Friday at Walmart sold a ton of these phones so I'm sure it won't be long.
+1 person
Me too man bought on Black friday and looking to unlock this for t mobile . Let's see what happen ??
EDIT:- Is someone is using for other network than straightalk ??
I too snagged this phone at Walmart on Black Thursday right after a hearty meal of turkey and all the fixin's lol. So far, all I've been able to really accomplish on this device is to root it with KingRoot, replace KingRoot with SuperSU and enable tethering. We really do need a custom recovery for this variant. A permissive kernel would be nice too.
I bought one of these phones from black Friday online from Wal-mart the Straight Talk model but online it shows S920C instead of S920L.... Does anyone know the difference?
http://www.walmart.com/ip/46716426
I don't have the device in hand yet, should be here by the 4th to verify the model number. I posted the link though.
Update
I have a SM-S920L(As screenshot above) and i bought from Best buy and it is locked to Tracfone. I called to cell representative and he told me that it can be unlock after 1 year of use.

I've read somewhere that in order to update you have to get a new SIM card from Straight talk. I myself haven't test this theory so if anyone is able to update after doing so, please post your results for the rest of us.
I read the same just was wondering if there was another way thanks for the info.

If you do find another way let us know. Seems like a pain just to get an update.
So I talked to straight talk and they said that the ota issue don't qualify for a sim replacement. Not to sure how the other people got there's but they refuse to send me one. I will be doing more research to find another way. They also claim that 5.0.2 is the latest version for the phone but the others that have had the sim replaced have 5.1.1
I haven't seen mention of any SM-S920L's on 5.1.1.

This variant is the LTE version. In other words, it's already unlocked. You should be able to put pretty much any SIM in.

Does this mean that LTE phones are unlocked? I always thought it was just a type of 4g just a bit faster
---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------
After further research I have found that 5.0.2 is the latest for the phone so I am assuming that the others that had this and claim it was fixed with new sim was probably just the timing of the update being available and was only to 5.0.2.
After getting the phone in hand it's indeed a S920L and not a S920C as shown on the Wal-Mart website
Is there anyway to change the APN settings on this phone? Just got it today and i am unable to get picture messages from people i was previously getting them from with my old phone/sim. Thanks!

If its a straight talk phone you should be able to go to the Straight Talk website and get the APN APN or VPN whatever you need other than that I don't know
Nope, no way to change it. It's a CDMA/LTE phone on Verizon Wireless.
I have to say this is an awesome phone. I'm using straight talk with TWRP Recovery and Turbos Rom

Fold2 Advice Needed, Post-Purchase. Please Help Me Out. [SOLVED]

Okay, so here's where I'm at:
Purchased Black/Silver F916U1 from Samsung with ALL of the extras, Watch, Buds, Kevlar, etc.:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
As most of you know, the U1 has no WiFi Calling or Visual Voicemail on AT&T. Neither Samsung nor AT&T will do ANYTHING to put the carrier specific features on the U1.
(Carriers should put these features on THE SIM CARD for UNLOCKED PHONES!!!)
Anyway, I figured I'd rather have the features than the silver hinge, so I requested a return/refund from Samsung and LOOK WHAT HAPPENS:
The Watch, Pods & Kevlar Kickstand cost me $727.34 !!!
I ordered a Black Fold2 from AT&T for $1999.99. Got the $15/mo insurance too.
Now... Obviously I'm NOT shipping the Black/Silver U1 back to Samsung! I can sell it for at least $1900. Their price is still $1999.99 but only if you finance it (0%) or $2799.99 if you don't - and no more bundle deals!
SO... The question is, if you were in my shoes, would you:
1) Keep the U1 because you're sure you'll have no problem flashing AT&T firmware onto it.
2) Keep the AT&T and live without the silver hinge, the ability to switch carriers and the other advantages of having the unlocked variant.
3) Get an S20 Plus or Note 20 instead.
4) Other idea.
I'm dumbfounded! Let's hear what you guys would do. Please.

That S63 Coupe is my very favorite possession. It's getting THIS installed in 2 weeks.
1. We are all waiting on something on this device. Give it sometime, im sure something will show up.
2. if you are worried about the hinge. I'll be frank with you, imo the hinge is the cheapest looking thing on the phone but thats just me. Looks like it was made out of a soda can.
3. Get yourself a primary phone until you can handle this beast as a daily driver.
4. Return them all and get a thom brown edition.

1) Since they're all the same identical hardware, I'd only need to have AT&T unlock the IESN to have a U1 anyway.
2) I'm swapping main boards as soon as my right eyeball no longer has a gas bag in it from retinal reattachment surgery.
3) I'm using the AT&T "beast" as my DD already.
4) Thom Brown phone is FUGLY!!!!!

truth be told they all look the same with a case on and in 8 months that hinge won't matter anymore cause we'll all be onto the next. Trying to play devils advocate.

Relax brother, it'll come. Eventually firmware for all the US carriers will be readily available. AT&T is always the hardest to come by, but it'll happen.

Bro, since these Fold2's will never get BL unlocked w/out tripping Knox, any variant that's SIM unlocked is the same as any other, except for carrier specific features, which, as I've said before, SHOULD BE PROVIDED VIA THE G.D.F. SIM CARD!!! What a concept, huh?
Anyway, as I mentioned a couple of posts back, I'm swapping main boards as soon as I have two good eyes again. I'll have the only AT&T model# phone with a custom hinge on the planet. At least for a while.
You don't need an unlocked BL to flash carrier specific firmware, so not sure what that was addressing. Just saying ATT is the hardest firmware to come by, and AFAIK the only one that gates those carrier specific features to their specific firmware.

I know Odin. I'm not a dummy. I'm saying the hardware is all identical. So... Any SIM Unlocked F916 is a U1 or whatever firmware you flash it with. Also, they'll never be rooted, so WTF cares? And each carrier has their own VVM and WiFi Calling, etc., so, no, you can't use AT&T VVM on Verizon or Verizon WiFi Calling on TMobile, etc. .
Now, I have to say... As much as I miss Nandroid, Xposed (especially Gravity Box and SAAX) and TiBk, after a few days on the Fold2, my V20's seem SOOOOO D-A-M-N.... ..... S-L-O-W !!!!
But, they still do tons of stuff the Fold2 can't, so I'll still have one handy for those situations. 1 in the car, 1 in the SUV, 1 in the house. :laugh:

How to find a rootable Pixel 5 (non-verizon or non-company network)

I am going to buy a used Pixel 5 tomorrow. I want to quickly confirm if I can root the Pixel 5 given that its already updated to Android 12? And also how do I know if it isnt from Verizon or some network phone as I think I wont be able to root that as well.
If any one could please confirm this fact quickly I can buy it without hesitation.
Please advice

If someone isn't willing to share the IMEI, don't buy it.
Your best bet would be through a site such as Swappa, due to their policies that help prevent users from getting screwed.
Or, you could buy an unlocked 5a direct from Google; the hardware is identical to the P5, with the exception of a larger battery, 0.3" larger screen, and 6GB RAM vs 8GB in the P5.
