Actually, i was very lucky to get mine unlocked after 10 days. I was a new tmobile subscriber and paid the phone in full. It was me who actually started this thread. I just happened to get the right person on their unlock team who knows what he was doing. He did something to override the restrictions that all the other reps including supervisors said they cannot do until after 14 days. Well obviously those reps dont know that its possible or their lying. Sorry to those that are having a tough time unlocking but sometimes its just dumb luck.

outside us

were you on wifi or you were getting t-mobile signals
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] hamzer11:
I don't know if this will get us somewhere but this requirement of T-Mobile that even after buying a phone at full price, you have to get prepaid service with $100, wait a year on pre-paid, or maintain post-paid service for 40 days is ridiculous. Then they prevent third party unlock functionality. Somewhere in there I believe they are in violation of the bill that was recently passed. So I submitted a complaint to the FCC which has been served to T-Mobile. They have 30 days to respond. Maybe everyone should submit a complaint? Those of you on social media should also start getting in John Legere's ear.

unlock while on t mobile firmware

I hope the unlock app will actually fully unlock the phone because I am afraid it only unlocks the phone when you are on t mobile ROM only. Once you changed to another ROM, you will need the unlock code for that.

I haven't been able to permanently unlock my device through the app, so I went to T-Mobile's online chat. However, I'm wondering if I'm getting shafted by T-Mobile here... They say I have to have service for 60 days (2 monthly payments) before I can unlock my device permanently... (Even though the unlock policy on their website says 40 days...)

Just FYI, I bought my phone full price and have been using it since 3/30/15... So I'm right at, 43 days, I guess...

Here's the chat log I had with a rep a few minutes ago:

Guess I won't be able to unlock my device for almost another 3 weeks or so...

Don't use online chat. Use twitter to contact them.

did you buy the phone in full price or contract
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wesley leme:
Hello

I tried to call to t-mobile to unlock my cellphone

And they told me it's not possible because I don't have contract or number of t-mobile

I bought this phone when I'm in vacation in Los angeles on Craigslist

And now I'm in brazil and can't use my cellphone :(

Someone can help me with t-mobile?

My English isn't so good and I need someone to try to ask they for unlock or I don't know what is possible to do...

Someone can help me? :(

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] batillojr:
removing the bootloader & modem allows you to flash it, but the unlock code doesn't work when you insert a non-tmobile sim ... without the sim the code does work but inserting a sim it asks to reboot and locks you out again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] zengshengliu:
I had mine unlocked through the app. This is what I did:

Buy the phone is full price

Wait for 45 days

Open the app

Choose permanent unlock

Wait for it to connect to the server (I think)

Unlock successful

Restart Phone

(Unlock app also removed from phone automatically)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Ridingboot:

I've been holding off from rooting till I permanently unlock my t-mobile s6 edge. Last week, I tried permanently unlocking the device using the unlock app since I'm over the 40 days period. I keep getting this...

I can tell that it's unlocked coz I can use other carrier sim.. But the app is still on my phone. I believe it's suppose to ask for a reboot and automatically uninstall the app? I'm afraid that when I root/twrp/install another rom it will give me problems. Anybody experience this? What do you guys think?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] NexVision:
Clear the app settings reboot and run again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] drewlim:
Cleared cache and data in the apps application menu but I'm still getting the error..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] NexVision:
Not to sure maybe try a hard reset. I rooted and then did the unlock mine did ask for a reboot and when it came bak up app was hidden from tray but was still in system. It did definitely ask for a reboot though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] drewlim:
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I called t-mobile and was patched to their technical support team. They couldn't figure out why I'm getting the error message. I asked if my account is flagged as permanently unlocked in their system and he told me it's not. Weird thing is I could use another carrier Sim card w/o any problem. Prior to this I was temporary unlocked but only up until the 26th of may. It's already the 31st so the phone should be locked again. Maybe the phone is permanently unlocked now and it's just not reflecting on their system? Weird! My dilemma now is I can't decide if I should go ahead and root/twrp/install another rom. I'm afraid that my phone would get locked again and I won't get support from t-mobile since I trip Knox and on another rom. Argh!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] NexVision:
When you had them on the phone did you have them submit the permanent unlock request? If not I would call bak and have them do it then it should clear the error.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Ridingboot:
OK

I thought I let you guys know what worked . If you cal it a fake it speaks for your faith in forums and help from others. To be on your niveau I would call you here something .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] drewlim:
I just called them and asked for the permanent unlock request. They asked for my email address and was told to wait till I get the confirmation within 24 hrs before trying the unlock app again. Fingers crossed! Hope this fix my issue. I will report back here... Thanks alot!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] yuchizang:
Just checked website said after 40 days purchased able to run app,then I ran app to unlock permanently. After reboot, I got message 'device is unlock permanently' and app is gone.

update

after one month of searching for a solution with no luck the Gods have granted a month of temporary use on this damn phone !! on reply on this thread talks about using a vpn app, so i gave it a shot with no luck cause tmobile app says that you need their sim card while trying to do a temporary unlock and today while at work i borrow a friend's sim card ran the vpn app as if i was in germany then clicked the temporary unlock and 1 minute later i got a message saying that temporary unlock was approved from Jun01 to Jul01 then i rebooted with an AT&T sim card .... and so far i have been using it for 20mins :) needless to say i'm happy i can use for at least a month and maybe extend it again ,,, who knows , but im happy now :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] GayBarOwner:
Did you do it on Wi-Fi?

In my case, I bought the phone abroad, so I don't have an account open on T-mobile, although I just ordered a T-mobile Simcard. Do you think it is possible that I activate an account here and unlock the phone using Wi-Fi?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] batillojr:
i tried it while on wifi and didn't work, it kept saying that it needs a sim card for the connection .. if you ordered a sim from them then i guess you can try it while sim card is on data roaming.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] NexVision:
If that person whos sim you borrowed is nice they will call t-mobile and ask for the permanent unlock and then you can use there sim again to unlock it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] batillojr:
i bought the phone on craigslist (before this model i never an issue unlocking a phone) anyways imei is clean but under financed so until is fully paid there is not much i can do ,,, right now I'm just going to enjoy this 30 days :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] truchosky:
did you try the "permanent" unlock ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] batillojr:
I did but did not meet their "requirements" so it failed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] truchosky:
i order a t-mobile chip, how ever am not on U.S.A, so i cant "activate it", i will test anyways
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cristianomc:
Yes! Finally I'm free guys!

I bought my phone on april in a USA TMO store (full price). As I intended to be there for a while I bought a prepaid TMO SIM card to use with my old phone, a LG G2. Used it with no problem at all. The decided to buy the GS6 Edge. I did not put any SIM card on it. Just used the Wi-Fi on the phone. So I did not know about the unlock episode!

Arrived in my country and the problem started. After rooting and trying to install a international ROM I believed that the lock is excellent and there is no way, at least until now, to void it. So the only way was acting like TMO wanted.

I needed to change my plan because I wasn't getting even roaming. After changing the plan I got roaming. Then I needed to refill my account with $100 to be eligible to the permanent unlock. So I requested the permanent unlock and after just one day I got an email saying that there is no code to unlock and the process must be done using the unlock app on the phone and using "a" cellular data network. Attention... I said "a" not "the" cellular network, meaning that it could be done with any SIM card, not the one from TMO. Earlier, when talking with a representative I was informed that it shoul work using Wi-Fi but the email said to use cellular data! Also this representative told me that the phone must be temporarily unlocked to be able to be permanently unlocked (but the email did not said it!) and that I need to be with a TMO SIM card on the TMO network (the email also did not said it).

Then I decided to try the temporary unlock using wi-fi and for my surprise it worked! But when I tried the permanent unlock I got error saying that I wasn't eligible to unlock it. Tried using my carriers SIM card cellular network data and got the same. Decided to clear the cache and the data from the unlock app (as someone told in this forum) and the app started from zero as my phone was locked, but it wasn't as I was already using my carrier's SIM card because it was already temporarily unlocked. Tried the temporary unlock again just to make the app return to the state it was before using wi-fi and for my surprise it didn't worked!! So I tried it using my carrier's SIM card with no problem.

So I called TMO again to solve the permanent unlock "problem" and the tech support told me that a supervisor would contact me in 3 days and that the problem would be solved in 5 days.

After about 1h of this call I decided to give a try to the permanent unlock using my carrires SIM card again and.... successful! Rebooted and the unlock app is not anymore on the phone.

So, there were some missing infos when trying to do it but now it's clear how to proceed. I don't know why I was getting the error saying that I wasn't eligible even using the cellular data and I don't know if a representative or a supervisor solved it in the TMO system or if it was a matter of time elapsing to be able to permanently unlock it.

I have another TMO GS6 Edge from my girlfriend and I will try the same on it. As soon as I got permanently unlocked also on that phone I'll let you know.

Cheers!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] truchosky:
so, the only way to do a temporary unlock is with TMO sim card ? (even when you did throw wi-fi), or any sim card ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cristianomc:
No. The first time I did it was on Wi-Fi with the TMO SIM card installed. The second was with my carrier's SIM card installed and on it's cellular network.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] truchosky:
any tmo sim card? even unactivate ? (am gonna buy a sim card on ebay to try this)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] yuchizang:
using wifi
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cristianomc:
I don't know because as it worked on Wi-Fi it's not clear if it needs or not an activated SIM card but think it should be activated. And as I did it also with my carrier's SIM card it's also not clear if it needs a TMO SIM card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] truchosky:
i will ask to the seller an activated chip, then i will try, thx dude !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] truchosky:
doesn't work for me, the same message on temporal and permanent unlock: not elegible

So I temporarily unlocked over a month ago. My temporary unlock expired. And...

I'm still unlocked. The app is still there I haven't attempted to hard reset the phone but the app is still there and I'm still on AT&Ts network
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cristianomc:
As promissed... Yesterday got my girlfriend's S6 Edge unlocked! This time it was weired... changed the plan to "pay as you go". International roaming working normal. Then refilled account with $100. Tried the temporary unlock using wi-fi with no success. Called TMO and the representative told me that would not have temporary unlock and that would request the permanent, but needed to confirm my PIN that I had forgotten. So, no deal! Called TMO again to create a new PIN with success. Requested the permanent unlock and got the answer that I need to wait 14 days. Hanged up. Tried to temporary unlock on wi-fi with TMO SIM card and it keeped saying that could not apply the unlock settings. Tried the permanent unlock and... success! Rebooted and the unlock app was gone.

I do not have any idea of what happened... if it was a TMO system failure or a "help" from any representative but after several chattings and callings to TMO, blaming it, I'm happy and when on USA again will use T-Mobile network again, for shure!

Thank you guys for sharing your experiences. Togheter we can always clarify the things!

Cheers!

I'm also trying to do the same thing as you did. I just activated a prepaid account with 100 dollars charged (for some reason I only have 91.25dollars so I bought another 10 dollar card) and checked my phone is fully paid. The question is, does T-mobile charge you for calling their customer center? I definitely do not wish to pay for another prepaid card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] rezion7fb:
yes i use the app the thing is like this first at all you have to be clean on your s6e or in better words totally pay the s6e them no matter if you have a post or prepaid number you have to be more then 14 days and finally a credit on your account up to 100 bucks, then contact by chat on online with t mobile cs tell them that you want unlock your s6e they are gonna ask you why tell them you are gonna be outside of usa for 4 months and they will tell you if your device is ready for unlock them when they notify you be email go to aplications select all and find device unlock clear cache and clear data restart you s6e and use the app select permanent and thats all you only need wifi , ok if the app tells you you have to contact cs go to chat again tell them the app is not working and ask for get escalade your problems ti bussines costumer service and about 3 o 2 days is everything is ok they are gonna call you telling you that is ok to unlock by the app them do the same of go to applications clear cache claer data restart and use the app again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cristianomc:

It is impossible to unlock the s6 edge with a code. And the only way to unlock a s6 by code is by flashing the metro pcs s6 modem to it but then you lose the unlock if you upgrade. Just click on the link below. Those guys have done a Tmobile S6 and S6 edge for me remotely. Took about 15 minutes and the unlock is permanent and does not void warranty.
