flashing the locked phone with an openline firmware through odin wo'nt unlock your phone. i tried it to my officemate S5 which is globe locked. after flashing, the phone is still globe locked.
Hello!
A week ago I got a Samsung Galaxy A5 as a gift from my wife. The phone is locked in Vodafone (Romania). I am using Telekom (Romania). I would want to unlock the phone from Vodafone and use it with my Telekom SIM card. Can anybody tell me whether reflashing Telekom (Romania) firmware via Odin is enough? Is it a risky procedure? Thanks!

Installing the firmware for another region or carrier will not unlock the phone. You must either order an unlock code or find a service center that has an unlock box, like z3x box or something of the sort.
Thank you for support.

Way too expensive!
Its locked but after the carrier agreement has expired, i think the unlock code is cheaper or even free.

I am afraid the title pretty much sums it up
I bought an S7 Edge locked on EE - if I use an IMEI/Network unlock code to use my card (vodafone), can I also use ODIN to install the official Samsung europe/unlocked firmware, or will my phone get 'relocked' on the network afterwards?
My thanks

I did this with my s7 edge which was locked on o2 when I got it. I unlocked my phone and then installed generic UK firmware using odin and all is good :good: I currently have an EE sim in my s7 edge and it works fine. Hope this helps

you can install unlocked firmware at any time.
unlocking allows you to use your vodafone sim. unlocking is permanent.
keep the unlock code in a safe place as it can be used more than once if necessary.
Yes, unlocking is permanent.
Hello is there a way to flash the T-Mobile (G950U) firmware onto a G950F model phone or change the CSC without root? While the phone is working, I do not believe it is able to take advantage of carrier aggregation and VoLTE without the proper region code for my area. Wondering if there is any way to achieve this? Thank you.
You want to flash snapdragon firmware on an exynos phone? You sure?
I'd like to know this too...
so is this not possible??
Guess I went the wrong route by purchasing an unlocked phone to use on the Tmobile network. the internet is sooooo slow...
So it's basically the title. I bought a Rogers(RWC) model of Galaxy S8 G950W and I wanna re-flash the firmware to an unbranded one like the XAC one. The thing is I saw that the Rogers baseband is not unlocked and the XAC is an unlocked one. Can I flash the unlocked firmware on a unlocked one? RWC to XAC
Cheers!
Yes you can, but don't assume that you will unlock your phone after you flash that firmware. If you want to unlock your phone, contact other site that will offer for factory unlocking on that phone or use any gadgets tool that support on that phone.
Note: becareful of modifying the baseband of your phone mostly to those enable bootloader and Knox, cause you may brick your phone or unknown baseband.

The only reason I want XAC is because it's unbranded and without bloatware apps. I think my phone is already carrier unlocked because when I bought it I specified that I will use it in another country. I've been using it with no issues in Romania for half a year now. What do you mean with baseband modifying? I will just flash the exact same firmware as the one I have now but from XAC not RWC. It's my first time doing this. I've did a lot of research but I'm still a bit worried about doing it.
No need to flash anything you can simply change the csc to xac and it'll wipe the phone.
so was their any problem?
i see both rogers and xac on sammobile
which is better?
