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.

The Dual Sim GSM/CDMA from China Telecom Model Number SM-N9009 is Simlock. Only Slot 2 Works as GSM(Edge), the slot 1 is Locked only to China Telecom Simcard ( CDMA ). Anybody already have the solution for this ? I'm pretty sure we can come out with a solution , just like the HTC 802D. Any help is appreciated.

Does it mean that we need to wait for the non China ROM??
Anyone has found the link to it already??
Thanks.
No sim lock, but the phone uses a specific version of the ruim card. Please, who knows, tell me, what's it! May be someone know where I can find the "right" ruim card, may be link..
I found the answer how to unlock: need change the MNC and MCC of your carrier to China Telecom`s - 46003 and write it to ruim card. voice and 3G data works perfect:good:

I'm also having the same problem.

Besides the data connection didn't work, it also having different apps. Some applications are written in Chinese, and I can't read it. Even, I can't find "Play Store".

Hello <
I guess you are using a rom without Gapps ... to solve this problem you can use a custom rom like Tomato roms which is besed on touchwize (Samsung official rom) just google it ( tomato rom) the latest version is 5.0 if i'm not mistaken ... you have to make sure to choose rom+gapps during the installation steps (its in chinese language ) ...
good luck

Try another SIM Card, if you can make calls and it keeps kicking you off then it may be faulty.
thanks

Cannot find your CSC region,not sure why! however.. You have maybe a couple options, Reflash a new MJ7 ROM - If your phone is UNBRANDED you can try a generic Firmware.
OR
Can factory reset, wipe data and see if it fixes it.
OR
It's possible (and this actually might be the issue) that there is a hardware malfunction...

can u pls tell me the method to re flash my mobile ??
thank yooou
You must read on flashing guides and be 100% sure you have read and learnt everything.
I could post a How To here, but if you got stuck or made a mistake you'd have to ask here again and maybe no one would respond for a while and you would be stuck. So it's a lot easier if you try to find for yourself so you can learn it, and maybe one day teach someone else how to fix :good:
EDIT: I am not being rude by not helping, just I am trying to fix my device also after Hard brick
appreciate
can u just give me a link to my rom and I will flash it with oden ?? pls I need this
Here is the firmware files, check which one you need and flash via ODIN in PDA slot.

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.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge unlock question. ( Europe -> Sprint ).

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?
