My mom live in germany so my phone was bought from germany,full paid.when I got it I put my Argentina simcard in and it's locked.we contacted T-Mobile and Samsung and I got this info.
to unlock region :
at your first time put your region simcard in the phone ( your simcard must be in the region as the phone) , do the setting. When you are done , Make a call for 5 minute to prove your region and done.(Now your phone is free to go.)
update unlocked proved (Dec 12)
I did factory reset. Put region simcard (germany) in to my phone (germany).mom made a call with her germany simcard to her friend in germany for 10 mins,after that I tried my Argentina simcard and it's unlocked !!! Now my note 4 is region unlocked at first I wasn't sure if it will unlock but we tried and it's worked.

It all region locked. You can check your phone by put simcard from your country. You will see that it ask for Pin , your simcard can't be use ,it's mean your phone is locked . if you live in other region and already have a phone with you. Please try my methods by buy prepaid simcard of germany or use EU simcard if you have one and make a call to germany number or your friends in EU for 5 mins or more,after that it should unlocked.
I know it has a lot of unlocked website that you can try but i also saw many people got some funcions problem after unlocked . I think what I did is safest way to do or try.
work lte 4g in argentina? which model?
You need to make a minimum of a five minute phone call on a local sim prior to it going abroad, sorry to say that it's common knowledge but... it's common knowledge. There's a massive sticker on the side of the box.
Stupid idea.. So what happens if you buy the phone duty free at an airport? Does iPhone do this or HTC etc
Silly question, can't you just buy an unlock code for the device and voila, region unlocked?
If anyone could help to buy the region unlock code for N910F :/

No just Samsung. It's quite simple, you get the phone you make a local phone call for five minutes, you rebox the phone, I think it's to stop people reselling them overseas.

That is impossible coz I am in India. But I am Going to US and will be having a 2 hour lay off at UK so I might get a sim and use it. Will that work?

If it was originally from the UK yes it will, I'm not sure if it's the UK or the entire European region. I'll find out, more to the point what does the box say? AFAIK you buy the phone then you make a five min phone call then it'll be unlocked, has to be on a local network

Argentina still not fully support 4g. Model n910f
you can also unlock it by visiting a samsung service center in your country. luckily the good models of note 4 like 910U dont come with that stupid sticker.
Thank you for posting this as i'm currently in a similar situation and i've been searching the web for unlocking experiences of people from Argentina or at least South America. I live in Argentina too but i'm currently in France visiting my bf i am thinking in buying a Note 4 or S5 here, so according to what you said i could buy just whichever version here in France (carrier free ofc) and to get it unlocked i need to make a 5 or 10 min call with my bf's sim (from France) right?. I so worry about getting it locked by mistake and then having my head ripped off by Samsung when paying for the unlocking in Buenos Aires xD

I have 910c and just unlocked it by calling a local number for five minutes. What keeps me worried is if I flash a new firmware or update to lollipop it will be locked again?
Any idea?
I'm not sure. im not really expert about this . Sorry, but I did rooted and unroot my phone often. It does not effect region unlock.
I guess you already know this, but for those arriving here via Google: no, the phone won't get locked again after a firmware update. I bought a Note 4 SM-N910F in UK and region unlocked it there with a local SIM. Later moved to other countries and received plenty of OTA firmware updates, and always could use any SIM cards from any country. Even a firmware rewrite with Odin didn't cause any issues.

Does anyone know where in the phone is located the region lock information (e.g., what partition)? And/or how to back it up & restore it if necessary?
Also: to unlock my SM-N910F from UK in another region, can I ask a friend to send me an activated UK SIM and make an international call to UK?
Hi everyone,
Currently I'm carrying daily 2 phones (work & private) with me and I want to merge them to one.
What do I have to do to get a dual Sim version working of the S7 edge for Germany? Thanks

What or who would stop me from buying a dual sim version abroad and plugging two sim cards in it?
Du kanns jede S7 version in De benutzen!
Soweit ich weiss hat jedes Galaxy S7 ein slot für die Sim Karte und noch ein Slot für eine MicroSD Karte oder eine weitere Sim.
Das heißt wenn du dein s7 als Dualsim Handy benutzt musst du auf die MicroSD Karte verzichten, Genauso wie beim Galaxy A8
Aber das ist das erste mal dass es ein gutes Dualsim Hnady in DE gibt
You can use all s7 variants in germany as a dualsim phone.
as far as i know all s7 variants in germany do have a sim slot together with another slot for the microsdcard or the second sim.
so that means if you use your s7 as a dualsim phone you will not be able to use a microsdcard like on tha Galaxy A8
press thx
I think you are right. The necessary hardware is there, but for Germany it won't work. So far nobody knows exactly how it's restricted, through CPU or from the software side. For USA it looks that dual Sim is possible.

I think you will find the sim trays are different and only the SE Asian and Chinese versions will have the hardware for dual sim or single sim and SD ie the SD and 2nd sim tray part is slightly different on these models as too is the hardware and the software to control 2 sims
Model numbers SM 9350 and SM 9300 for China and HK
Model numbers SM 935FD and SM 930FD for SE Asia
Hi. I have a similar question. I want to buy an S7 edge. I work in a cruise ship and I can get a great deal in Singapore, which will be the 935FD model, with a pay-as-you-go Singapore SIM. When I get home to the UK, will I be able to use the second SIM slot with my (Vodafone) UK SIM?

It is said there is a regiolock in different regional versions of the S7 but I never heard of somebody really facing this problem.
The news I found is only about a regiolock of European devices.
http://www.androidheadlines.com/2016/03/galaxy-s7-galaxy-s7-edge-region-locked-in-europe.html
The regiolock will be deactivated if the device is used in the region it was sold with a simcard from this region - one should make a call of at least 5 minutes to get rid of the lock.
I bought myself a 935FD on Ebay from a seller in Hong Kong (using a warehouse in the UK) No regiolock at all.

works fine.
I can't post links because of my post count but if you put the imgurl url followed by /rMIgUcm it should work.
it says unknown but I'm guessing that's because I've never used the sim before? I literally just opened it, it was a £1 pay as u go sim i got from town a while back. It says only 1 sim can use 4g also hence it being 2g.

I've been researching this a bit more and I realise I don't really understand the differences. In the UK, my network is Three Mobile (owned by Hutchinson Telecoms) and it operates on 2100MHz (for 3G) and 800MHz and 1800MHz for 4G/LTE. With all the different variants of the S7 edge, is frequency the only difference? If so, do I only need to worry about the operating frequencies of the handset? I understand there might be a regiolock problem as well, but as long as I use the phone for 5 minutes in the country of origin (with a SIM bought in that country) then this won't be a problem? Specifically, could I source a 935FD in Hong Kong and use it there And in the UK? Or do they ONLY sell the Hong Kong variant there? I've looked at http://www.4g.co.uk/4g-frequencies-uk-need-know/ which gives a lot of tech info, but I'm still none the wiser regarding specifics of the S7.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm in HKG, local version is G9350 (SD820, Dual SIM, unique model....).
I bought a G9350FD from a import shop coz I wanted to 8890CPU instead of SD820.
Seems the phone I got is from Africa somwhere (ECT CSC). I've flashed to UK's BTU CSC now and seems ok.

Hi. I'm about to buy a 935FD from Taiwan. Will I also need to flash a BTU CSC in order to use this in the UK? If so, are there any shortcuts or all-in-one toolkits that I can use to do this for me? I was fine flashing ROMs on my old rooted HTC, but I've never used Odin before to flash a Samsung.

From my experience, download the latest BTU firmware. Flash the BL, CP,AP and CSC should be fine.
Use latest odin. Should be 3.11
No need use Home_CSC.

I am looking at buying a phone similar to yours, it is a 2nd hand phone in Lisbon. Have you sold your phone? Maybe that is yours out there?
I pre-ordered my S8+ for AT&T (which should be SM-G955A) with the Fully Immersive Bundle directly from Samsung and received everything yesterday. The phone is actually a SM-G955U with the AT&T firmware. I'm wondering if someone with an S8+ bought from the AT&T store could check their phone and report their model info back. If and when the unlocked version comes out I'm thinking I could Odin that ones firmware onto this phone how we did the S7 Edge and loose all the AT&T bloatware and have an unlocked version.
I'm not a 100% sure, however, I think all (if not most) of the US models are the SM-G955U variant.
Again, not 100% sure but pretty certain that's the case.
I ended up purchasing an international model because I hate US carriers and what they do to these beautiful devices -> so I wouldn't be able to double check for you.

Completely understand that. Not looking to unlock the bootloader at all. More interested in having a de-bloated phone. I know I can disable and/or hide these apps but they still waste storage space.

There's a couple threads on this over in the regular s8 section. All US phones are U models flashed with carriers firmware. The BL are locked and the word on the street is that the phone locks to the sim carrier it's first booted on, if this is true I'm not sure. I received mine today and haven't even booted it up yet. Doing some research first and my S7E is running like a champ rooted so I figured why rush. I pretty much turned my s7e into a s8 anyways lol

I'm on AT&T, same model number
I am a developer for a package disabler and looking at the stats, I can confirm that Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T all show SM-G955U as device model.
They just moved the carrier letters to the end it doesn't mean all the carriers are the same models just because last year the U after the number meant the unlocked version. For this year you need the XAA to have the sim unlocked 4 carrier version.

i believe you are incorrect.. my device does not say anywhere on it that it is a verizon device outside of course of the vzw bloat..
the only thing that differentiates the different carriers in all of the firmwares available is the user data partition, other than that they all appear identical with the same model number and build numbers
---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------
also to add, you dont need the unlocked variant to have it unlocked.. vzw is unlocked by default and other carriers can also unlock it if all requirements are met of course

i believe you are incorrect.. my device does not say anywhere on it that it is a verizon device outside of course of the vzw bloat..
the only thing that differentiates the different carriers in all of the firmwares available is the user data partition, other than that they all appear identical with the same model number and build numbers

also to add, you dont need the unlocked variant to have it unlocked.. vzw is unlocked by default and other carriers can also unlock it if all requirements are met of course

Wake me up when someone successfully transforms a Sprint to a T-Mobile or an AT&T to a Verizon. Its a great theory you guys have but its a big $$$ risk to have to hope it happens.

lol.. you can flash the same firmware on any device.. like i said, they all have the same model number and only the userdata partition is carrier specific
maybe you can tell me where to find my verizon specific model number in my s8+?

Aside from the bloat each carrier has you can easily see what phone you have in less than 30 seconds.

Let me know when you flash that vzn model to a tmb model.

lmao your picture confirms its the exact same model bro that my vzw variant and every other carrier device shows..
i am telling you, the only difference is the user data partition.. THE MODEL IS THE EXACT SAME ON EVERY US VARIANT.. how is that hard to understand when you yourself just proved it lmao
Hi, given that the Galaxy M31 does not yet have a forum on XDA and since it is so similar in specs to its predecessor, the M30s, I thought of asking this question here. I am very interested in this phone model (M31 specifically) and I am curious if this phone is compatible with the cellular networks in the UK. I am mostly interested in the massive battery and there are just so few choices with such a huge battery.
If it is compatible, then I am thinking of purchasing this phone from India the next time I visit and using it in the UK. But before I make such an investment, I wanted to double check that it can work here otherwise it might become a heavy paperweight.
I purchased my m30s from Amazon.co.uk and can confirm that it works on 02. The handset is unlocked so I can't see why it won't work for other networks.
Just so you know, there's a big seal sticker on the box stating that a European SIM must be used, but it also says that to use a SIM from another region, a 'cumulative call over five minutes first be made with the SIM card from European operators.'
