Hi team,
I've an issue with my device Samsung N950FD (Galaxy note 8). After inserting a SIM card, i got a message of Network Lock "SIM network PIN blocked. Enter SIM network PUK". The mobile works fine with Swedish and french SIM card but actually i'm in Algeria and it's not working. I've installed the correct Firmware CSC TMC algeria (N950FXXUGDVG5_N950FOXMGDUGA_TMC).
Any help please ?
Lina
the best way is to contact your carrier operator or customer care.
btw default PUKs are 1234, 0000, 12345, 00000, etc. but it'll only give you 3 chances to unlock (as happened with me) and then lock it completely.
It's not a SIM lock or SIM PUK. It'a a Network Lock (SIMLOCKED). Unfortunately, i'm actually in Algeria for work (1 month). also, I cannot contact Swedish operator since im using the phone in france

What is wrong with showing someone how to get the results they are looking for whether paid or free? This is XDAs problem. You guys don't want any competition or anyone really helping anyone without being involved with the help process. You are your own worst enemy XDA, and this is why people are leaving this site and never looking back.

Anyway I hear that it might come out on T-Mobile UK.

@notnoelchannel Thanks for the heads-up. Affirmative, it's not yet completely but nearly 20 years old but it's allowed to live on XDA. Or what did you mean by your post, by which you brought this thread "back to life" from the very ancient XDA times.
Please let me know what your comment means and if you believe any moderator action is required.
Same like above also applies to your post here.

Hello, I bought a batch of phones in which a redmi note 9 came with a pattern and a google account. I have withdrawn the accounts and the pattern but it turns out that the imei it has is blocked for non-payment and does not recognize the chip that I entered.
Is there any way to change the imei or solve this issue and get the cell phone to pick up a signal again.
Stay tuned to your comments. Greetings.
Hello and good afternoon, @psygnome
Edit or change of IMEI is illegal in quite a few of countries. For this reason, I've closed your thread! XDA doesn't allow and doesn't accept discussions about or support for such an edit or change.
XDA Forum Rules (excerpt):

9. Don't get us into trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either. This does not mean that we agree with everything that the software piracy lobby try to impose on us. It simply means that you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with the legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users and those that write great code.

Hi there,
Is there any channel on the forum that enables member to discuss about the thread posting or moderation?
Or shall members keep it in private with moderators?
It is a pity that personal judgement weighed over rules.
[CLOSED] Question on thread posting
Hi there, I firstly posted two questions in the original thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-other-directory-than-platform-tools.4536847/ Question 1: would it be possible to adb pull partition (ex. userdata) to any other location than...

Please refer to the relevant rules of the forum.
Thanks in advance.

Hello @wenyendev
I'm surprised about your above questions as I think I'd already clearly provided you with the answers in my announcement in your closed thread that you've linked. However, as a non-native English tongue I don't want to rule out that my English skills are too weak to have expressed it well enough. In case of further questions, feel free to contact me or @TNSMANI like I've already suggested in the linked thread by private message (PM).

I can assure you that all moderators know the rules of this private website very well and that all have the capability to assess, which rules are relevant in a specific case.
And I'm grateful that you share your personal assessment "that personal judgement weighed over rules." I like to refine that statement that any moderator's assessment and judgement is always based on and driven by the forum rules. If you've any doubts about this and don't want to contact the respective moderator by PM, you can always complain at any Senior Moderator of your desire (names available here) or at the @Moderator Committee.

Hi Oswald Boelcke,
Thanks for your clarification and following me.
I said "personal judgement" simply because no rules were explicitly cited for the closure of my two threads, for example, whether members shall discuss about thread moderation in the forum or contact moderators in PM.
Thanks for your consideration.

@wenyendev I appriciate your explanation and now understand better.
Different then e.g. the laws and rules in my country and society, the rules of this private website, which were implemented by the owners of the website, are indeed not written just black or white. The rules - at the same time guidance for the website's user - are supposed to be easily readable i.e. in a limited scale with "only" 16 paragraphs and not intended to provide for all contingencies. For this reason, every moderator is happy willing to close related gaps and to explain his decision if asked by a private message. None of us moderators would deny such a request with the argument that XDA is a private website and the XDA staff doesn't owe any user a justification.
And please allow me a private remark as somebody who looks back onto already nearly 67 years of life: It's quite often much more successful to demand something privately instead of going into the public.

Oswald Boelcke

Hi Oswald Boelcke,
Thanks for your reply.
Alas, I could only express my regret that my threads were closed not by the rules of the forum but by personal arbitration.
Regards,
PS: I appreciate your frankness on English language. In the era of television, image often pretends to be more grandiose than message. A true Master may not necessarily master language, for example, Mingyur Rinpoche. : )
Looks like a DM could've clarified this but I see the tongue and cheek and appreciate a smirk haha
