I'm not that much related with android phones but my girls sim card doesnt work with any carrier in Greece.
How can I unlock it? Does it need to be rooted, reinstall any other ROM or what?

hey,
when I purchased the Samsung Focus phone,
it had SIM Lock on it , which I unlocked by
using the UNLOCK PIN ..
want to know if it will get re-locked after WP7 Update . . .
Thanks !
If you got the unlock code once, I would think it would be able to unlocked again if the update relocked you.
I've been watching a few blogs on the update topics, I have not seen anything about sim-relocking yet.
But keep in mind, it seems that not that many people have been sim unlocked, you might be in the minority of Samsung Focus users!
If you do the update, let us know your results.
if you are talking the network unlock...no updates wont re lock it. unless you put the correct diag code then enter the unlock code it wont re lock.... now sim lock is different that is a code that locks the use of a sim card unless a 4 digit code is entered... if you disabled it, it wont come back unless you enable it again...
The unlock codes are not as hard to come by anymore. Lots of different websites and people even on ebay. I used Fastgsm but if it re-locks. oh well. Doubt it will though from what other users have said of other phones
I unlocked the phone using the code from ebay NCK ZONE ...
since NODO is out, wanna know if installing NODO will re-lock my phone...

Hi pal, it will not.
sim unlocked.
Installed nodo yesterday.
Still sim unlocked.
By chance can you tell me if you are getting a Roaming Triangle?
Do you have a focus from Rogers (paid to have it unlocked) using it with another provider?
Thx

If u put ur local SIM in and reboot and it does not ask for unlock code that means phone is unlocked. Have u tried different SIM? Do you see any signal above. Check phone IMEI. If not present you have other issues.

Umm, i haven't tried a different sim from my local place here, but , i tried to use the sim from the area that i bought this phone from (indonesia) and it works fine.
However , when i put my local sim , there's a signal but it has an "r" letter on the signal and no 3G, i have uncheck the roaming
I will suggest you try a different sim from your local place. I had similar problems when I bought my S5 SM G900F. It turned out the sim was deactivated. Also you want to be sure its not a 4G sim as that certainly might pose a problem.

Today i insert a different sim card and it works, thx for the suggestion. Do you have any idea on what's happening here ?
Is there a FREE way to unlocked the at&t version of the S7 edge? The phone is still financed but I want to be able to unlock it and avoid it being blacklisted.
Please, if anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it!
No. Pay $14 and you get it unlocked.

My experience :
I unlocked my device from a website ( simunlock - 18$ ) and placed a european carrier sim card. Everything worked , the phone worked as described.
Then i decided to remove AT&T software and instal the U version , didnt want to use all the bloatware and carrier specific stuff. When i place my sim card to the new U phone i think my phone locked to the new carrier. Will try tonight with a different sim card and will write back.
My thoughts after all are that if we instal U firmware on AT&T Phone i think that will unlock the phone and then lock it to the new carrier
After all this all might be just nonsence , so i'll test it tonight.
Out of the box setup:
Insert the SIM card before you set up the customer’s device for the first time.
Samsung Galaxy S7 edge | S7 locks to the carrier of the first SIM that is inserted by resetting and installing carrier software. If you set up the device and then insert the SIM you will have to set up the device again.

My phone was paid in the full the day I bought it. Called AT&T and they unlocked it for free since I own it free and clear.

I believe the unlock is tied to the imei number. Not sure. It should be unlocked permanently no matter what fw is on it.
For my own clarification you're talking about carrier unlocking and not unlocking the boot loader right?
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.
