I have the Galaxy S5 SM-G900M, from Claro, Dominican republic but I recently installed the 6.0.1 from Movistar.
In case of sim unlocking, which carrier should I put? Claro (the company where I got the phone)
Or Movistar (The software that's actually running on my phone)
Thanks!!
Hi!
I does not have to do with whether can connect in a carrier or not
Carrier version have to do with custom apps which a carrier put in its ROM. For example, movistar can bundle an app which you can start to know your bills, recharge to other pals of you, etc.
Sometimes there is no personalization whatsoever
I would flash carrier's ROM which the phone will be connected

Hello friends of the forum,
I wonder if there is any site where I can download the original ROM operator CLARO (Brazil) since as soon as I intend to update my device.
Can i use an european version of galaxy s5 in Argentina with a sim of a local carrier? i have got an european s5 (never used) and i would like to gift it to my brother that live in Argentina...
Thanks all.
Hi ebisco,
Samsung sometimes(often?) region lock their phone, which means if your phone is region locked then you would have to use it in Europe to region unlock it before using it with an Argentina SIM card, or pay for it to be region unlocked.

Hi ?!
Yesterday I received i9505 . Mobile is optus mobile (Australia mobile )
I want to install custom rom
Is that international model?
Did you buy the phone from Optus Mobile?
Is the phone carrier locked (You can only use it with optus sim)?
The international s4 is neverlocked and can be used with any sim as far as I know.
Anyway, this is your modem I9505XXUGNH6 (latest)
Take it into consideration when rooting and installing a custom rom.
I purchased my Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge via a third party seller. It was listed as new and sim-free factory unlocked. I received it today and notice that there is an EE app on the device and the Internet homepage is EE also. Other than that there is no other evidence of it being network branded. There is no network splashscreen for instance. The CSC code is G935FEVR1BPH1. Just thinking that if the device was unbranded there wouldn't be any reference to EE and worried that the device may have been interfered with. What do you think? Many thanks.
Yours is an international version. branding is different from unlocking, all phones come with a branded operating system.
Your phone is the latest firmware in the United Kingdom.
Thanks Cosmic Blue

Where did you get this "wise (not true) information"?
His phone is branded to EE -> UN-branded models don't have "operator specific" apps installed; the UN-branded phone in the UK is BTU
I live in the Netherlands; I've an UN-branded S7Edge -> PHN
In the Netherlands we've also "branded"-models:
VDF -> Netherlands Vodafone
TNL -> Netherlands T-Mobile
Download cpu-z and screenshot shot everything that I screen shot let's compare if it's fake some stuff will be totally off the chart check the finger print reader as well if it doesn't work and unlocks with ever finger then it's definitely fake
Many thanks henklbr and 102skysx. Indeed, my device was branded to EE in the UK. I successfully flashed BTU firmware and now have a totally unbranded phone. It was always factory unlocked as far as I am aware.
I also compared the screenshots and tested the fingerprint sensor and pleased to say my phone isn't a fake
Hi i have a 9500 S4 Exynos version, the international version, i recently upgraded to Lineageos but i want to go back to stock but i don't know which Rom to choose because of the region code. i live in dominican republic and i don't want to install the one for my country because it will probably be filled with bloatware from Claro (local carrier) and i don't know if it will probably lock the phone, the phone is factory unlocked by the way. Can someone can pass a link for a Stock rom running lollipop with the international csc?
Download CSC CAU from sammobile.com, but I cannot provide a link due to site rules. CAU is for countries in the Caucasus mountain range in Europe, and is probably your best bet to be bloat free. You may still wish to download the Dominican Republic firmware anyway, in case of issues with the CAU firmware.
I'll try that
