hey all
i have one note galaxy SM-N960U
VERSION ONE UI : 2.0
AT&T USA ORIGINAL CARRIER
I need a Flash Rom to unlock it ,to work with my new carrier in Morocco
I think you need at&t to unlock it or pay one of those sketchy places online which I don't recommend.
CAN YOU RECOMMEND A FAST WAY
For me, when I paid off my phone (was on the AT&T payment plan because of a BOGO deal)
I was able to use the ATT website, enter the IMEI and some other bull****, then ATT emailed me the unlock code.
As far as I know, this only unlocked the sim and I switched to Xfinity Mobile.

OK, but now you need balance, not free, I search other method
Unlock a Phone or Device - AT&T Device Unlock Portal
www.att.com
This is what I used, it was free.

Hello there,
I got nokia lumia 635 At&T and I want to be able to use it on GSM network.
Will Flashing the phone help ?
or it is only by unlocking ?
and is there a way to unlock for free or I just should pay for some company and if so , which is the cheapest company out there ?
Thanks in Advance !
Kind Regards,
Zaza .
Hello, if you want to use this phone with another carrier you have to unlock it ! Contact ATT if you are an ATT consumer for the unlocking code. If you are not an ATT consumer you will have to buy an unlocking code. Search on ebay or Internet to find someone who can provide you this code.
Unbranding will help you to get ride od ATT's firmware and software that's all you can have with another firmware. Your phone will not be unlocked for using it with another GSM SIM.
Actually AT&T unlocked my GoPhone variant for free and I am not an AT&T customer. All they required were a copy of my receipt and the devices IMEI. Took 2 days to receive the code but at least it was FREE!!! This is a great little device and for the sale price it was well worth it!!! Unfortunately no success on unbranding due to platform security. So far only able to flash from prepaid variant to postpaid variant but since the device isn't compatible with my Verizon service anyways wasn't really worried about it. For $40, it keeps my 6 year old off my Ativ Odyssey and it's another device to play with and explopre for exploits. Worth it!!!
How did you contact AT&T - phone # / Email / Chat?

I want to buy the at&t gophone nokia 635 from amazon for $40 and use on tmobile.
How did you input your receipt on that site? Did you buy the gophone? It says right on that site that gophone must be active for 6 months first, and they also told me that on the phone. How did you do it exactly, and are you in the united states?
Thanks

If it was brought from a carrier (ATT, Tmobile etc) and you have completed the contract or paid ETF or paid phone in full, you can contact the carrier.
They will unlock for free.

I did contact them but im still under contract, now i looked up a seller on ebay but it says that if he gives me a code it probably wont ork because i rooted it, im still on the original room i only flashed the kernel and used towelroot to root it, is it true that it wont work the unlock code?

No. If you are on stock ROM, code should work.
I had phone in the same state (running kitkat, rooted with towelroot). When I completd/terminated my contract, got the code from ATT and it worked.
You can only try the code few times. After that phone will lock to the operator and no code will work after that (even if right one).
So make sure the ebay seller is giving you the right code for your IMEI.
If its under contract, even 3rd party seller may not be able to unlock. Check with them before you buy.
ATT has given me the unlock code in years gone by, even when I didn't have the phone paid off. I explained that I need local SIM-as-you-go accounts when traveling for work. (true BTW)
1. Bought a Galaxy S6 Active from best buy.
2. Unlocked it through ATT online.
3. Running it on T-mobile.
4. Voice calling works.
5. In Brooklyn (Gowanus) it does NOT get any 2G/3G/4G network.
6. If I voice call, for a few seconds 4G comes on and then it disappears.
I wonder if there are others having this problem.
------------
This was resolved.
The problem was getting the correct APN settings in. I used the instructions from the tmobile forums/site. Google for it.
And now I get decent throughput, but not spectacular: 7Mbps download / 11Mbps upload.
I noticed I am on band 4. You can install "LTE discovery" to do that.
Make sure to properly configure your APN settings and enable mobile data.

I just picked up an S6 Active, and it won't let me add an APN for T-Mobile. I'm still waiting for my unlock code, so it still has a deactivated AT&T SIM in it. Could that be what's blocking me from adding an APN?

Yah, seems like if you want OTA update, you must have an activated AT&T SIM card... Your best bet if you are in the US is to find a friend who has AT&T and borrow their SIM card so you can authenticate against the AT&T OTA server.

******I have an inportant information.******
I have a friend in Vietnam, I and him got an S6A.
I bought an S6A in Bestbuy, paid off.
He bought and S6A in ATT shop, paid off too.
But
I can get the unlock code after 2 days request in ATT webs => The staff in bestbuy told me, I can get the code if I buy ATT device in best buy for Free.
He tried like me, but the system said no => I asked 3 customers service in ATT website before, all of them said I have to contract an ATT SIM for 2 months (minimum $45/month for SIM card) and I could get unlock code after that for "free" after paid at least $90 for them.
the Important thing is :
My S6A (bestbuy) Cannot get OTA update (unlock or non-unlock) if I dont have ATT SIM.
His S6A (ATT shop) Can get OTA update (unlock or non-unclock) without ATT SIM card and another carrier in used. (he can get OTA for OF3 and the newest OF4).
*Yesterday,he bought an unlock code in a Vietnam mobile phone shop (~ $27) and It was unlocked, now he can use the vietnam's carrier.
I will show you the screenshot of his phone after I go home.

Hi,
I'm in Turkey and I've bought a Samsung galaxy s6 active from bestbuy by paying full retail price (unactivated device option for 694$). My friend will bring it to me to Turkey tomorrow and my question is if it is possible to unlock my phone even though the device is not in USA? My point is, if the code that will be provide by at&t s device unlock page is verifying by internet connection or via mobil service satellites ? Because obviously phone have to send/receive some configurations to the unlocking. If this process requires US services, I have to say my friend to unlock the phone before he came ..
Thanx

I reached out to sprint for the unlock code to unlock my phone. The rep, via chat, told me that my phone is already unlocked to be used locally and internationally. I asked him to give the code anyway just in case, and he said "Unlocking code or MSL code is only for older devices that are not unlock capable."
I thought only Verizon's phones were sold unlocked. Has sprint started doing this as well on new phones?

No its uicc locked domestically if purchased through sprint until paid off, internationally yes its capable of using any sim on non domestic towers.
Once fully paid off etc you can ask for it to have a uicc unlock so it will accept a att sim etc.
I bought it brand new off eBay. Maybe that's why the agent said it is already unlocked?

A friend of mine tried to put a different sim on his Sprint phone outside of the USA and couldn't. He had to call Sprint to unlock it.

Is it a SM-950U or U1 ?
U1 is unbranded version and pre-unlocked. The U is the carrier variant.
The U would have been locked unless purchased full retail and active on a account atleast 50 days per sprint policy.
Sprint technically dosnt have to unlock it if it dosnt meet their guidelines.

Did you try inserting another SIM card in your Note 8 and see if you can place a call?
If it works with a card other than Sprint, it should work even abroad.

"Did you try inserting another SIM card in your Note 8 and see if you can place a call? "
I don't have one to try it. Otherwise, that would have been one of my first tries.
mine got unlocked automatically after ~50 days last fall
i didn't contact them or anything, one day it just ... happened
it was paid in full from Samsung since they had that sweet trade-in deal for Note7 owners

I had to wait 50 days, and it automatically unlocked. No lease, no payments.
Apparently the only way is to call them, If I buy this phone used would I have any chance of unlocking it in the future ?
Hello,
I have gotten a new S23 (regular), which was a freebie from AT&T. My friend decided to be gracious and to give me one, however I am still dealing with SIM unlock. Is it possible it download a firmware like -U1 to work with my current carrier in Japan?
It's possible to flash it to U1, but it won't SIM unlock the device, just change it to the unbranded software. If you want it SIM unlocked, he either has to pay off the phone (its free after monthly credits) or you pay whatever shady service on Ebay to unlock it for you.

He traded a Note 2 for the phone (There is a deal at AT&T for any Samsung phone comes a free S23).
Yeah, after bill credits. Once the phone is paid off, they'll unlock it.
