Simlock - Lenovo A6000/Plus Questions & Answers

I would like to ask @wujke as he is from the same country (and maybe same network as i am) one question.My carrier (from which i bought this device on contract) doesnt support official updates above kitkat.As i updated this phone to lollipop (different modem and firmware) is it possible that i broke a sim lock from my carrier.last week i was abroad and i used sim card from that country with no problem.Since i dont own any other sim cards i would be grateful if somebody could answer this question.Thanks in advance

Everything is possible, maybe it wasn't locked at all. In Telenor I've seen everything, from unlocked phones to locked without possibility to unlock bootloader.

[Q] Sim Unlock

I haven't been able to find any solid information on SIM unlocking this phone, so I'm asking here. Back on Verizon, unlocking a global phone didn't seem to help much, as it still didnt work on other carriers (such as when travelling to India). Will the S4 (originally on AT&T) when SIM unlocked work?

[Q] sim unlocked in UK but locked for Malaysian sim

[Q] Weird problem with unlocked S4 LTE

Hi! first poster here.
I've just got this phone wich was recently unlocked from TELCEL MEX carrier. The weird thing here is that the phone work flawlessly with any domestic carrier sim cards, but not with my US T-Mobile sim card.
I've test this T-mobile sim card with other unlocked phones (Galaxy S4 i9500 and Alcatel Pop) here in México without problem, but in the S4 above mentioned asks for sim unlock code.
The cell phone is SGH-I337M with KitKat 4.4.2. and firmware CSC code TCE
Thank you very much in advance!
This may be relevant or not.
My previous phone was an HTC Desire S on O2UK.
O2UK give you a free unlock on all contract phones after 6 months and send a code by email to you.
Any time I tried changing sims to a different carrier it asked for the unlock code, except when it was Tesco Mobile UK.
It may be that the original carrier requires you to input the unlock code for anything other than certain providers.
I tried to get an unlock code for my I9505 LTE but they said it was factory unlocked so can't speak about the phone specifically but with the Desire S, also on O2UK, had a similar issue.
I've got the pin code
Thanks for your input, sure it's relevant.
I have the unlock code for the T-mobile sim card, but of course it's not recognized by the phone (or sim card?)
In the other phones tested the process was straight forward, just inserted sim, boot up and voilá.
Went to the Telcel's service center but the person there confirmed that it's unlocked.
I'ven reading about a "Regional Lock" of some Samsung devices, but i realy can tell if this the case.
Anybody else having this kind of issue?
Region locking I don't believe has anything to do with this. When the phone was unlocked, the region locking should also have been removed.

S7 Edge G935-FD Dual SIM problem

Hello guys. This is my first Samsung device. It's network locked here in the Philippines and I flashed UK firmware to get Nougat update. Since thre is an official update available now in our country, I flashed the firmware downloaded from sammobile with CSC SMA (philippines Smart). The problem is, SIM 2 is not working for a different SIM card (ex. Globe). Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Before only SIM 1 is Network locked and SIM 2 is openline. Now they are both Network locked.

As far as I know, Dual SIM phone has issues when trying to unlock the phone. they are problematic and sometimes they refuse to work. I recommend you take it to Samsung assistance, maybe they can do something with your firmware and make the phone work again.

G986W(canada) question about using a USA sim card

Im coming from a S9+. Its been two years since i played around with flashing Fw etc so my memory is a bit hazy.
Short question. If were to put a USA sim card in my Canadian S20+. Will that cause a factory reset? Or does the canadian fw does not have the CSC files for the US carriers so it should continue to function as is, but potentially with missing features for the US carrier? Does that sound about right?
Thank you
It will work just fine, if the device is carrier unlocked. I have an unlocked G981W from Bell, and an ATT sim worked no problem. No device reset etc required.
Also have tried a Rogers and a SaskTel sim without issues .
Cool thanks.
