SIM card is not from Verizon...

I bought a Verizon unactivated HTC 10 recently, for my AT&T SIM card (AT&T is not selling HTC 10, and I have a Best Buy gift card, so I had to buy either Verizon or Sprint. Verizon is cheaper.)
The AT&T SIM card works just fine, but there's an annoying notification saying that "SIM card is not from Verizon..." that won't go away.
Other people online (using different phones) suggest disabling "activation manager", but no such app exists.
I already disabled & force stopped any Verizon/Amazon apps.
Does anyone know how to get rid of the notification?

sim unlocking service like this http://www.htcunlockingservice.com/htc-model-unlock-code/htc-10.htm ? there is other companies also. I have no experience with any.
Use any SIM on any GSM Network
With an unlocked HTC 10 you can change carriers without buying a new phone. This means you can take advantage of the best service package for your current needs. Then if your needs change, you can change providers any time.

I'm not sure if you understood my question (or am I just reading the website wrong?)
The SIM works just fine; I just want to get rid of the notification telling me the SIM isn't from Verizon.

but by actually sim unlocking the phone the message shouldn't pop anymore since it is allowed to use any. right now the phone is locked to Verizon sims. really are all your features working 100%? some may not be functioning. I have no personal experience with this just seen it many times

nope, they are the more locked down version, htcdev even has them blocked to unlock the bootloader and stuff. http://htc.com has the actual unlocked model that you should of bought.

I know. In the OP, I said that I had to buy a Verizon version because I had a Best Buy gift card. They don't sell unlocked

I understand. but because of that you may have to spend another $10 to get it "unlocked" for your sim card

Or try calling Verizon and see if they'll give you your SIM unlock code for free. They did it for me a few years back when I was preparing for some international travel, but I am also a long-standing customer with a good history on Verizon.

This is an XML edit you need to do. The sku that your phone currently has loaded is for Verizon. Have you s-offed yet? If you have we can rid this message.

FYI, all of Verizon's postpaid LTE phones have been SIM unlocked since ~2012, including for GSM usage both in the US and internationally. No SIM unlock is needed for the Verizon-branded HTC 10 or any other modern Verizon postpaid LTE device.
It's totally normal for a Verizon ROM to state that an inserted SIM is not a Verizon SIM, it doesn't affect usage of that non-Verizon SIM.

S8 sim unlocked

I'm curious if our S8's are sim unlocked. I have the Verizon S8, I put my T-Mobile sim card in and had no problems. Calls, Text and data are all working perfect. The only change I made was from LTE/CDMA to LTE/GSM

There's an app in the Google Play Store that will unlock your T-mobile phone from the T-Mobile unlock app. I used it for my S7 Edge. Paid $28 & in an hr I was permanent unlocked. The app is IMEI Unlocker

On the original Jump 1.0 on a business account and have been able to SIM unlock all my phones on payment plans the min I left the store. Have had every Galaxy release except for the Note 7 and they all were SIM unlockable. My S7 Edge didn't SIM Unlock on day 1 though. Waited a day or two and was able to SIM Unlock it, just randomly tried it. My S8 I have not been able to SIM unlock it yet, but this is the first time I pre-ordered online and haven't sent in my S7 Edge back yet.

Does it mean that there's no activation at all? Should it work out of the box?
I've went to Verizon store and they told me that I must use 3 months of prepaid in order to "activate" it properly.

Anyone noticed that the essay on verizon is a SM-G950U....and not a SM-G950V Like all previous models ....

All the versions (T-mobile, AT&T or Verizon) are SM-G950U, you can see this on Samsung Page, the only differences are the latest letter where they change for each version. Because of this there were people guessing that it was exactly the same phone with different software, which you should be able to change as you decide wit any other company software and activate all the bands. Like I mentioned only a gossip base on the model SM-G950U

I bought the Verizon version, because of the unlock, to be use in my country Mexico and I can confirm that you dont those 3 months to activate and be able t use your phone. As soon as I received it I inserted my sim card and the only thing i noticed was the cell phone showing a message that phone wouldnt be usable until properly activated, I ignored it and continue and my sim worked normally i was able to make phone calls, use LTE data..... something to consider is that when i reboot the cell phone i dont get this msg anymore but just a notification over my notification bar from the verizon config wizard saying that my sim is not from verizon but as soon as i close it it doesnt came back until you reboot again. The only complain is that i just found out that I cannot update the firmware through OTA because it seems to try to use the verizon servers and are not able to validate my phone because it was never activated on Verizon. So i guess i have to wait for the firmwares or updates to be available on Samsung and install them using ODIN.

Is your phone Sprint variant? Besides paying off your phone, your phone needs to be active with Sprint for at least 50 days to be eligible for unlock.

Hmm.. However you aquired the Sprint model, it needs a Sprint sim unfortunately. If you don't have it, then you need to get one. If the phone is still under lease, then you need to get ahold of whoever has it on their account and have them pay it off and request an unlock.

I believe you do need the sim. It's kind of a tricky situation. If you call Sprint (they're dicks) they may not do **** to help you even with a ticket number. I personally wouldn't have purchased it until the original owner had confirmed the unlock.
When we submitted our white model for unlock, we had the Sprint sim card in the phone and checked it like you did. It said locked for several days. Then one day it said it was carrier unlocked. My wife put in her TMobile sim and it has worked ever since.

I remember getting an error similar to this when I tried the unlock on Wifi. Turn off wifi and try again. It may be 100% correct you need a sprint sim to do it, but you can at least try different scenarios. (e.g. always with wifi off, try with NO sim, cricket sim, etc.)

I'm under the impression from everywhere that I've read on this and other forums that you need a Sprint SIM card inside the phone.
I take it you're not a Sprint Customer now? Let us know how this pans out. There are at least two or three that I know on these forums that would love to drop our Sprint service today while we are waiting on them to unlock.

Sprint V20 users. Don't waste money on unlock scams

From personal experience i can tell you that anyone claiming to unlock your phone is scamming you. I had to get my credit card involved to get my $20 back. There are those that will GSM unlock with a computer but the moment you update your FW you'll lose that unlock.
Sprint devices NEVER unlock with a code. If you have a fully paid off device then Sprint will have to legally unlock it for you. You chat with their international team for some reason to get this done.
It's easier if you have a phone active with Sprint. Do not waste your money elsewhere. FYI.

if i dont update firmware it will work fine on gsm?

Try this as it may work. Make sure the GSM SIM card is "live". INsert the GSM Card. Go into settings and System Updates. Update PRL, Profile and then UICC unlock. I had to do it on one of my V20s as Sprint instructed and it worked.

Make sure you have enabled "Developers Options" and set the "OEM Unlock" to "On".
The only way you can truly unlock it is with the UICC unlock. Are you a Sprint customer? That helps. However if you are not and you phone is still fully paid off, go on the following website and initiate a chat:
https://sprintworldwide.custhelp.com/app/chat/chat_launch/
Tell them that you HAVE TO get it unlocked and ask them to reset and refresh the unlocking process from their end. I had to do this with an LG X Power. They made me wait for almost 10 minutes after which my phone rebooted by itself after they reset it. Once I restarted the phone and connected to wifi, I was able to UICC unlock it. Good Luck!

That is BS on Sprint's part. I just helped my niece UICC unlock her V30 literally yesterday using that same link I provided. You have to keep trying and be patient with them.
Also, being a "current" Sprint customer helps. I just tell them I have to travel to places where Sprint offers spotty coverage and I don't want to lose my customers. YMMV!

Spotty coverage isn't even a lie for me. I had a couple sprint phones. My house is in a absolute dead zone and my whole area is spotty at best, unless im smack dab in the middle of town not one bar. Im on the west coast and looking at theyre coverage map their network is almost non existent.
I don't have a sprint account period though. My other phones were on Sprint mvnos and like i said i bought this phone used and obviously have no contact with the seller. Sprint wants account pin. I don't know why they can't just keep resending the signal until its unlocked.
I asked on their support forum and the rep said when the phone becomes eligible for unlock they automatically send signal to unlock it once. If the phone is roaming or off at the time they sent the signal your sol.

He's asking for a SIM unlock, not bootloader unlock, and the Verizon device (as he mentioned, just added a 0 to the model #) gets unlocked naturally after you insert an active SIM into it. Do you know anyone in the US with a Verizon account? It should take a few minutes.

Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
An update from unlockunit.com:
Hi Hackerjj,
Unfortunately, if you cannot find your Phone Model, Country or Network listed on our website, we are unable to generate the unlocking codes for your device.
If you get the message ‘’Unavailable’’ after entering the order details on our website, one of the below situations may occur:
1. Your phone is locked within a CDMA and not a GSM network (you can check on www.gsmarena.com if your phone is a CDMA model)
2. Your phone is not part of the networks/countries that we currently unlock
In order to receive the correct unlock code, it’s very important that you select the correct country and network you originally bought your phone from. In case you place an order with the incorrect order details, we will not be able to refund your payment.
We are constantly improving our service and we hope that very soon we will start to offer unlocking codes for devices locked to Verizon, U.S.A. such as yours.
Thank you for your collaboration and we apologize we couldn't help you this time.
Have a great day!
Kind regards,
Ionut Z.

It needs an active Verizon sim in it for 24 to 48 hours before it will umlock. Once unlocked it should receive a message saying so.

not true.. i never understood why people will come in here and trust anything anyone says when it comes to sim unlocking lol..
verizon unlock policy states to prevent theft/fraud users are required to activate the device with verizon then after 60 days the device will be unlocked..
if his verizon purchased g975u was never activated on verizon then he hasnt even started his 60 day wait period.. verizon specifically implemented this policy because of people doing what the op is doing... purchase a phone for cheap somehow then use it on some other carrier/network without ever using verizon..
i am sure they had lots of theft and fraud going on with users scamming vzw devices for cheap then reselling for profit since they were unlocked theyd work anywhere out thebox so thisis their way of trying to combat that..

bro, your device isnt a "g9750u" its a g975u.. theres no such thing as a g9750u lol.. also, flashing a rom wont unlock the phone.. also, you cant flash any custom roms anyways since u have alockedbl and no, ur device is not bl unlockable either

not true.. i never understood why people will come in here and trust anything anyone says when it comes to sim unlocking lol..
verizon unlock policy states to prevent theft/fraud users are required to activate the device with verizon then after 60 days the device will be unlocked..

Thanks! I had bought a Verizon Sim, it is on the way, I think I will receive it in 2 weeks, after that we will know it the cellphone is unlockable. This is the last thing I can do, I think this cellphone is un-rootable also a pain. Another way is to use this provider, but I have not completely trust and is very expensive. https://store.unlockboot.com/remote-unlock-service/
