Got a Globe S6 Dual SIM 64 gig black sapphire. Seems Globe has locked both SIMs to its network. I can't use my Sun network SIM in any of its SIM trays. Any way to unlock this?

Congrats on the new phone. For Smart issued phones both SM1 & Sim 2 can be used for Smart/Sun sim... Perhaps you need to unlock ur phone.
There's an unlock key available for sammy phones online costs 2k pesos. U might want to try that route.

You are very lucky Sir under Smart. It is stupid of Globe to introduce a dual SIM phone only to lock both SIMs on their network. It's fair to lock only one SIM and leave the other SIM unlocked.
Anyone tried rooting the S6? Or flash a custom ROM?
Got mine from globe as well. Tried 2 online unlocking options with no positive results. They all got refunded. I guess we need to wait more. Now my sun cellular is stuck at home.
BTW!
Rooted mine on the second day from the pick-up date last April 18.
Guys, I saw this while browing, http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423
Do you think it can work with our duos version? (Model: SM-G920F/DS via *#1234#)
A samsung store clerk told me that they did not launch the international version to our country, just the duos version, not just sure about the edge version though.
As what I've been told, all non-edge version of the S6 are duos and if there were any international version, they probably are gray units (imported).
Have not tried rooting my S6 since rooting it will disable all future updates.

I think you can flash that but make sure to spare the baseband and kernel as the regular 920F international does not support dual sim. Maybe the closest firmware we can get or copy or flash is the g9200 HK.
Anyhow if u failed or if sim2 fails, you can always flash back to original firmware from sammobile.

Not really concerned about Sim2 though. I think I have to read more about flashing roms, baseband and kernels. ) I'm used to just reading/watching tutorials but not fully understanding what's happening.. Anyway, to my understanding, if I straight up flash that ROM (not keeping the baseband and kernel), it might work with Sim1 only? Also, by flashing, it will automatically trip KNOX even if reflash the stock ROM from sammobile?
Thank you!

Flashing some others official firmware such as from sammobile does not trip knox, flashing unsigned and rooting trips knox. Flashing other regions firmware may disable sim 1&2 or simply sim 2 will not work, its either of the both.
You can go ahead and let me know hahaha so I will follow that route as well.

Sammobile has the openline version of the firmware. Can it work with my device even if it's Globe lock? Or should I need to unlock the device first? I'm not really bothered if my device is locked with globe as I do not intend using it with different carrier
Haha, I don't think I'll flash or even root the device anytime soon as I have yet to see fully stable or even working custom ROM for our version XD
My only concern are the bloatwares that's why I'm up looking for custom ROMs. Nevertheless, current version of TouchWiz is not really that bad..

I have a smart/sun locked s6. If you want to just get rid of Globe pre-installed apps you can change CSC.
Type this on the dialer *#272*your imei# .. By default it is set to GLB since its Globe issued. You can change it to XTC. Then tap install. Once you tap on install your phone will go to download mode and will automatically factoory reset theb it will boot up with a samsung default apps no operator pre installed apps. It will still be locked to Globe though.
Sanmobile FW is for XTC openline and can be flashed to locked phones. W/o issues.

Ok, that's kind of helpful. But, wouldn't it void my Globe/device warranty? Also, how does warranties work with samsung and/or device from carriers? I have only had process one warranty so far and it is with Apple. Their warranty, from my experience, is international and does not require the receipt. You just have to ship the original box of the device, its contents and of course the device itself to their address. I processed it via email with an Apple Specialist something.
Anyway, have you tried flashing the XTC from Sammobile yet?
EDIT:
Also, I'm up for development if anyone wants to create a custom ROM or whatever specifically for the version of our S6. I just need guidance though, as I have no experience in making such but I'm cool with learning. Thank you.
Hi guys, just want to know if we only have the duos version here in the philippines or the single-sim as well?

Hello

I bought it from Korea and I want it without the settings of their carrier OLLEH.
Do you also mean boot logo?
What does boot logo mean?

Get whatever firmware you want from Sammobile and debrand away.

sorry you can't debrand it if you wanna stay on official by installing a firmware
but you can try to remove carrier apps by rooting your phone and you also can remove olleh logo from power on screen by updating csc
Yes you can, I did it to mine.
I have official Samsung firmware with no carrier software or settings.
I get updates OTA as they are released.
Which one?

I have the Verizon S7e and iI was able to flash the 935U firmware without any issues. I think as long as it's official, and uses the same CPU it should work. Sorry if I'm wrong about this but maybe someone else can correct me if I am.
Because he uses a korean variant of the S7 Edge, there is no unbranded os for that s7e

Hey there! I have a question. Can i debrand an s7 edge of sprint by installing any g935f firmware? Best regards

Can someone please give a link to any tutorial for debranding....I have a s7 edge from germany 1&1...and I want to use it in India..
Hi.
I was thinking to flash my Galaxy s7 Edge firmware through Odin.
My phone was acquired from Portugal, but for now I live in Romania, therefore I flashed my phone fw with the official fw provided by my carrier operator. I'm kinda disappointed because the battery life kinda reduced a bit, but the most annoying thing is the heating issue... Even if I use it just for a few minutes scrolling through my Facebook wall or just using the reddit app the phone start to heat on the right side.
I would like to flash the firmware again, but this time I would like to use a firmware without any bloatware, but I would like to keep my carrier baseband.
Can someone tell me if that's possible?
Hy all! This is my first thread.
And so sorry for my english.
So I bought a galaxy s7 edge (g935f) from the internet and it has a lot of weird issue...first this phone is a single sim t-mobile (hungary) version, but the software says this is a dual SIM version (935FD) I flashed a full-wipe 4 file from with Odin but after that the problem is still there. If I go to the ONE I menu the first imei is the phone's own imei, but the second imei is just a lot of zeros.
My second problem is that the wireless connections doesn't works.
The Bluetooth can't find any BT devices and the Wi-Fi is recognize only the 5ghz networks.(2.4ghz networks are invisible)
Is it possible to get this phone back to normal?
Is it should work if I try to reinstall the phone with smart switch? That app is download firmware that is match with the phone original carriers Rom.
Thanks in advance.
If the phone is the dual sim one (SM-G935FD) flashing the BTU ROM from SM-G935F (single SIM model) or the INU ROM from the SM-G935FD, it'll detect the second SIM slot that also works as microSD card.
By detecting it, it seems you have an G935FD...
try flashing one of those ROM's I have mentioned above with ODIN and do full wipe of the phone.
That will probably solve everything

Btu is samsung stock 7 firmware basically for Uk region it's available here on xda. Try to flash the full firmware and see if it's work for you or not. Also you can flash stock 935fd firmware.
Hello folks,
recently my uncle bought a Galaxy S7 Edge G935A via ebay. Since we live in Germany I was sure to get a G935F firmware on it. Well it seems that I'm wrong.
First I downloaded G935F 8.0 and tried to flash with Odin but it failed with 256SHA failure. Afterwards I found out about the Prince Comsy Odin to "bypass" this error. Well, luckly, I haven't updated it.
After reading further this might be a At&T device and that At&T branded phones are only updated via at&t itself so to try out with the bypass might have bricked the phone. (the distributor seems to be placed in China but he is not answering anything anymore) ,
Then I found this one Teamdroid Oreo for G935A and read the article thoroughly. The pictures clearly show a baseband of XXX UCU4CRE4 while mine shows G935AUCS4BQC2.
Right now Im on security patch from march 1st 2017. The device itself and smart switch says it is up to date.
So my question now. What to do? Can I just flash the G935F onto the device with the Prince Comsy Odin, or can I flash the UCU4CRE4, or am I just unlucky and we have to take the bite and leave the device as it is?
Thanks in advance
//E: out of curiousity: Why is there no such device as G935A listed @ sammobile site?
//E2: so I tried to flash the UCU4CRE4 with "normal" odin and I'm receiving the error emmc_appsboot.mbn.lz4 failed and on device it says unsupported dev_type ---> issue fixed with newest Odin (13.1) --> flashed it successfully...maybe it helps somebody
The G935A is a snapdragon variant, therefore G935F firmware would never work because the G935F is the exynos variant. They have different hardware and are fundamentally different.
It looks like you were able to get upgraded to Oreo (CRE4), that's great! you should be set as long as everything is working right. You won't ever get OTA updates though, AT&T devices must have an AT&T SIM card installed in order to recieve them. If I was you I'd just check back here on XDA for updates every few months.
If you don't want the AT&T firmware at all, you could flash the G935U firmware instead, which is the unlocked firmware for the USA Snapdragon variant. It's easy if you use the princecomsy Odin. Not sure if the unlocked variant has Oreo yet, though, so you may be better off just sticking with what you've got.
