Are you kidding? Why not to use search firstly?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49945052
Check out the other threads before posting.
There are plenty of threads on the subject
sorry, I am new to the area , I did search and found many threads about unlocking but got lost and it took off the edge , enough of what I have written seem somewhat alien , but I downloaded some tools ask me a password provider or technician LG, I do not want to do damage to the device and so I ask help from you that what you experienced also my English is not very good and some things you do not understand and that I do with google translator.
if it bothers you, my question and my ignorance I ask again apologize and ignore my issue.
You need just to root and edit build.prop in system folder.
Use the link i provide you.
You can root with iroot.

Read here about the Samsung region lock http://bgr.com/2014/04/11/samsung-galaxy-s5-region-locking/ as you have a US device and want to use it in the EU. Many more sites available. You could also call Samsung for advice and/or maybe removal of the lock. I hope the device isn`t simlocked too for your sake.

It would be rather difficult to give you a solution without any information. You didn't even tell us the verbatim error message, the carrier you are trying to use the phone on or much else.
It could be any number of things from region locked to SIM locked to an innoculous Sprint setup message. Or something completely different i.e. that a CDMA Sprint phone over has limited compatibility with GSM frequency bands. You simply didn't provide enough information to more than guess.

Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692269 and more to find on Google, afaik Sprint devices have a locked bootloader so i don`t know if flashing custom software is even possible.

Only way is to send it in to LG. People change IMEI when the phone has been black listed due to being stolen. I would return the phone to where you bought it.

Hi guys ,
First post here on this great forum.
I bought this model ( SM-G935P ) on ebay and the phone is coming from the USA. Only knowledge i got is that it has bad ESN. That should not be a problem here in the Netherlands so i thought...lets give it a try.
The phone does not recognize any dutch simcards so im pretty sure it has a sim lock. My question is ....can i unlock this model here in the Netherlands? The device does not ask for a unlock code just says "Invalid simcard".
I dont want to spend any money on a local shop with the result that they cant unlock it.
I hope someone can help me out or point me in the right direction!
Ps , forgive me ignorance. Thought all new phones were sim lock free.
Ps , the phone is flashed with stock firmwar "AP_G935PVPU4APL6_CL9917700_QB11986798_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar"
Can it be that the phone is on CDMA and thats the reason it cant read my simcard? I also saw something about U firmware?

Why don't you get a G935F? It is BL unlocked and sim unlocked. I believe.
Hello friends,
First, I apologize if I violate any of the forum rules or i don't speak correctly.
Because I have an older experience with phones, their operating systems and their moods, a friend of mine has asked me to fix his S8. Before I acted in any way, I thought to ask here, on the forum, what's going on with this phone and how I should repair it. He told me that the phone needs a new rom . I don't know anything about this phone. I've never had a model like this.
And yes, the screen is very damaged.
So, what do u think guys? What shoud I do ?
Here are 2 pictures of what appears on the screen. I have not managed to upload them directly to the forum

Hello guys,
I am sorry if i have opened the thread in the wrong place. I am having a serious problem with my S8+ and im starting feel like it became a trash anymore. So i bought this phone in France as i live here. I went to Turkey for my work for 6 months and i had to change the imei number in illegal way to use my phone there. They rooted my phone and somehow put a new imei into it in order to have connection. After i am back to France i tried to flash a stock rom and it was successful but i relized soon after that i have no network and whenever i try to get some it keeps giving me an error " Error while searching for network " . I check my imei number with *#06# and i have an imei number but it is different than my original imei number which is written in the box. Did i lose my Imei or what? I check EFS file, it is there. No one in France is able to fix it and since i have a crack on the screen , it voids the warranty , so no Samsung option , as well . I would deeply appreciate if someone could help me with this problem.
Thank you so much in advance.

Not gonna find much help on here mate. Not with the imei being changed. We're don't really discuss things like that in xda. But I can tell you. They didn't change the imei with root. It's cert based. Which means they totally rewrote it and new cert for the device.
