If your phone is from Canada you should be able to get it unlocked for free by calling the carrier as after Dec 2017 they all unlock for free.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] keon1:
it was locked to T-Mobile and I'm with Wind... Would it have still worked?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] vvhiterice:
Are you sure it is locked to T-Mobile and not Telus? From my understanding the T-Mobile one is SM-G900T and the SM-G900W8 was the Canadian variant. If a Canadian company locked it then they will unlock for free. I think T-Mobile may also unlock for free but YMMV.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] keon1:
yeah meant Telus sorry lol
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] vvhiterice:
Nice then you are in luck. Call this number and they will unlock it for you for free 1-866-558-2273

anyone here tested this on sm-g900f ? :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] meohmy:
I have tested on a 900F and yes it does work 100%, the biggest problem is finding a version that either doesn't ask for a password or doesn't contain a virus, also works on an S3 9305, but a word of warning,

it will stop working after you have used it 2 or 3 times and I haven't been able to find a way around it yet so don't start and exit the software unless you intend to use it..
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Hackills:
How is downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop supposed to work on Sprint? Isn't the bootloader locked?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] XEROling:
You will probably...

You need to maintain the current unlocked firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Alex_VV:
The method worked on a G900W8 (Canadian version, probably formerly Telus) with LP 5.1.1. Make sure ADB is enabled on the phone during the process; the phone will likely ask you again to allow ADB communication from the computer. Will test if unlock remains after FW upgrade.

update: unlock remains after stock FW OTA update (to MM)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] a-raccoon:
Does this software require special Samsung drivers? I just get a pretty loading screen (animated gears) that says "Card not found" and "Retry or Close".

Also, the top post says the only hardware requirements is a phone, but any google search for z3x shows a $100 or $200 physical hardware jtag box you need to purchase to plug your phone into it. Is that what everyone is doing here?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] TheFixItMan:
Google is your friend here - read the first post about not posting cracked software on xda
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] a-raccoon:
No. Google would not be my friend here if I were posting to xda. Are you new? Just what cracked software did I post here?

Anyone else want to take a stab at my question?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] TheFixItMan:
Haha I'm far from new

I've answered your question - I didn't say you posted cracked software - I said that is what you need and obviously no one is going to post it here & you need to use Google to find it

The error you are getting is because that software comes with a hardware box with a subscription type card & you plug your phone into it - you obviously haven't purchased the box hence the error

The cracked version bypasses that box & allows you to run the software without it

I have this software & have used it alot of times - obviously I'm not going to post cracked or paid for software here

If you read the first post you would see it says

That's why I told you Google is your friend!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] a-raccoon:
Clearly I have researched this matter on google, and if you had too, you'd know that the box is a serial jtag breakout box, with an assortment if different cables for an assortment of different phone models. Nobody builds such a piece of hardware as a mere subscription-token to make their software work. So, these are two somehow unrelated technologies. I certainly doubt that a crack is what makes an error message about a smartcard reader go away. What would make that error message go away is a proper smartcard windows driver that gives the software direct access to the phone's sim features... which seems to be a thing. It's just that all of my attempts at finding such drivers have arrived at dingy virus downloads instead. I'm also pretty confident I know how to locate cracked software.

My question was specifically if people could specify what drivers they're using and any trouble-shooting steps they had for this particular error message. Not to provide me with a download.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] TheFixItMan:
I've given you the answer - I have the software & the crack that allows it to run without the smart card

If you don't want to believe me that's your choice but I'm telling you - just doing a simple YouTube search for the software will give you the tools needed to run it without the smart card - its just a simple patch & program that acts as the box that then boots the main program

No special drivers or anything else is needed - unless you run the "crack" tools correctly you will always get card not found error because you haven't purchased a subscription card & box!

As ever Google & youtube are your friend!

And no I'm not providing you with cracked software as this is not allowed on xda & really we shouldn't even be discussing such things anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mollotof7:

"for all intents and purposes"

but yes, NoDial from idoneapps is 100% legit. Or at least he was when i used his services 4 times a couple years ago. They also have their own forum, which is small and niche, but its active and respectable.

Anyways, im back here on a S5 forum because im looking for a free unlock method. Anyone try this method recently?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Avc123:
Glad I found this thread.

Just tested this with my SM-G900P and it worked.

Only additional notes that I found was that I was able to do this on 6.0.1 without downgrading by doing the following:

1. You can enable DM+MODEM+ADB by using #3424## -> Phone Util Menu -> PDA and enabling DM+MODEM+ADB

2. Ran diag as per OPs post and then ran domestic unlock instead of direct unlock on z3x and rebooted

3. After running the domestic unlock with z3x I followed these instructions I found on a site for z3x:

First reset the Network settings to defaul ##72786#

Now to enable GCF.

set the phone to airplane mode

then Go to Settings

and click Activate device then press multiple times in the right upper corner(menu button)

then press PST

then test mode menu

A. click ue setting and info

B. click setting

C. click protocol

D. open gcf and click number 1 and make sure it is on.

E. Restart the phone"

After I restarted the phone, I went to setting, More networks, Mobile networks, and get GSM and click okay.​

Following that I successfully unlocked my phone's sim on 6.0.1 firmware QD1 without downgrading.

Hello

It might work on all Galaxy S5 devices

Give it a try but don't forget to backup with TWRP or any backup method you prefer in case something goes bad

So far it has been reported WORKING ON:

SM-G900T

SM-G900W8

SM-G900M

SM-G900F

SM-G900P

I hope the list is expanding even more :D

I encountered problem when flashing 4.4.4 Firmware by Odin...

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] guitarbee:
congrats.. mine is also an SM-G900T (also T-Mobile locked)

but unsuccessful try. Not lucky enough :-(
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] XEROling:
It is simply not how things work, unlocking something like the sim card requires tinkering and in this method requires downgrading, doing stuff then updating

And it is free if you are willing to find the crack (which I can't post on xda website)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] XEROling:
Have you checked firmware file md5 or any hash sum to make sure it is a genuine file?

Also try a different cable it could help

It is also possible that there might be an issue with the eMMC
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] XEROling:
Did you get a certain error?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] XEROling:
Since z3x supports a lot of devices, this method might work with many phones *With some iterations for each device (but then you have to figure out which firmware allows the unlock to work properly if possible at all)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ElroyJx:
I tried this on my G901F and it worked. Permanently unlocked in just 6 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] WakerPT:
Hi everyone.

I followed this tutorial with a G903W Canada (G903WVLU1CQI1) Rogers locked with success!

I did have to adapt parts of your tutorial but, nevertheless it helped a lot.

Beware, this will erase all your data.

Basically what I did:

Flashed an older firmware on the phone with odin. (G903WVLU1AOJ9_G903WOYA1AOJ9_G903WVLU1AOJ9_HOME.tar.md5)

It actually didn't boot anymore but at least, being a 1 file rom flashed with Odin the modem was an older version.

Flashed a combination file on top of it so it allowed me to boot into a "dev" version running something like android 5.x or something.

Unlocked Carrier, with old method - no root, on Z3X 29.5, and it worked.

Flashed again latest firmware for it (Android 7.0: G903WVLU1CQI1_G903WOYA1CQI1_G903WVLU1CQI1_HOME.tar.md5 - Can't find where I downloaded this one from...)

Phone is unlocked! :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and ] noxarcana:
I am on N. Not rooted because it's just a pain in this ass to get everything I want to work. I doubt root is needed anyway as it wasn't necessary when all this first came out.

i have vivo v5s , and as you know it doesn't have any custom recovery.

so i try to port it myself even i'm just a noob but it's my phone no one will get hurt but myself , no risk.

i try everything , but when i want to flash the twrp i got this error message , so what should i do?
[General Questions and Answers] -Hope-:
Vivo doesn't have a method to unlock bootloader, they have locked it from 3rd party roms or recoveries (custom roms and recoveries) as a result the vivo phone's can't be unlocked for now (although they have the oem unlock option) but the company blocked it for stability many people are changing from vivo after knowing that

vivo is not a developing friendly i suggest you buy another phone like pixel which is very friendly with developers.

Xiaomi also is a good choice.

Samsung and Huawei aren't that much friendly too since there lastest updates and upgrades with their phones.

so vivo is like xiaomi?

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizaria:
After downgrading, I get a random error message regarding NFC Capacity.

"Capacity for NFC services full

Not enough capacity to enable the service. Try disabling one or more services."

I've looked this up and a specific bank app was the culprit for many, but not in my case. Happened after just flashing the firmware (the generic one, "D6653_23.0.A.2.93")

Even so, I've tried the fixes I've found and the only one that "works" is downgrading Google Play Services. Of course, this isn't ideal. Besides, even when I install my bank app (NAB) and try to set it up for NFC, it fails with an error that no one at NAB has seen before, so...I feel like there's just an issue with my firmware.

Was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on fixing this, or perhaps another KitKat firmware I can try? Sick of the battery life of newer firmwares, so I really want to give KK a good try again.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizaria:
After reading the top comment on this reddit thread about selecting a different tap and pay app (as it defaults to Android Pay even if it's not installed, which may have something to do with it) I stopped getting the nagging message.

The NAB issue remained though. I downloaded an older (and hopefully, safe) version of the app and it works. Two unrelated problems, perhaps. Other than KK being somewhat temperamental, I think. Will continue testing.

Hi Folks,

I have been searching the Net for weeks now, trying to find a Custom ROM for the SM-G531F. It seems that nowhere on the Net there is a Custom ROM for this phone. Runnig Lollipop 5.1.1 is about the worst thing that could happen to this phone and it is driving me up the wall . Would anyone just be so kind to let me know whether there will be a custom ROM for this phone or if this phone is to outdated to be messed with.

cheers,

Hi

Beside obvious color and RAM/storage differences, I'm trying to find out if there is a "feel" difference between slate grey, midnight black and light gold variants?

What I mean is:

- is one more "matte" or shiny than the others

- is one more slippery than the others

- is the finish layer more durable on any color

- etc.

I tried googleing for the answer, watching some youtube unboxing videos.... but couldn't find the answer.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] slugger09:
I recently got the a520f after a few years with the iPhone. I was happy enough but then released there is 2 roms, 1 in alpha and another which is abandoned then noticed the updates from Samsung are sparse at best.

I'm unlocked in UK and stuck on 6.0.1, they "used" to say unlocked got updates first, noticed the way I said "used to" because carriers seem to be releasing 7.0 before unlocked, and while on the point 7.0 at this stage when Oreo will soon be released, even bringing the phone out with 7.0 would have been slow when 7.1 was available.

I am thinking I have made the wrong decision with the a520, Samsung are slow with updates anyway yes but the a520 seems to be at the bottom of Samsungs list of priorities. Last years a510 even has 7 for a while now.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] aoyanagi:
The phone is receiving updates slowly cause the phone has owners all around the world, it's probably to make sure that OTA servers are not overloaded. Imagine what would happen if they released it at the same time for the whole world, the servers couldn't deliver acceptable speeds. That's just my guess though.

How does Apple cope then?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] amlbuton:
That's Samsung decision to release update or not, as user we can wait for it or complaints to Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] engmia:
It has nothing to do with "the server not able to cope" or anything. There are a few reasons building up to the devices being in literally the bottom of the pile as you put it:

1) Samsung has heavily skinned Android with a lot of added features, which all take a while to port to a new verison.

2) Costs of development, Q/A testing and everything else that needs to be done before the update gets released public (not doing the update obviously means a lot of saved money)

3) Most people don't care about updates or are even annoyed by them and think they are something evil. That's excluding heavy updates to a new version which slow down the phone by a large margin with features you could have lived without (Apple are doing this), those updates really are evil. Due to the lack of updates though, this rarely happens on Android in all fairness.

4) It's a mid range price device

5) Samsung's policy of not wanting to update the phones too much anyway so the user buys a new one

The phone is probably going to be updated to 7.0 within the next month or two. I doubt extremely it will get updated to 8.0.

This is unacceptable for a phone that has come out for 2017, to not got an update of an OS to a version that is released in 2017 just a little over an year later. We should definetly not put up with it and complain to Samsung however, not on XDA.

We should make sure OEM's take note that we want our phones updated to new Android versions fast for at least a few years, just like iOS devices. And on top of complaining, we should vote with our wallets also. That gets the chain moving.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] av1choudhary:
That is tackled in another way. Your phone randomly receive updates in batch.

Yes you can get an update if you manually go into settings and download updates.

But again it is automatically provided in random batches.

Samsung is late at updates because they have a large number of models.

Not like Iphone that only support 3 models of past I think.

Samsung also needs to provide stable updates which take a lot of testing.

Again it depends on your country and provider when the start rolling updates.

By the way A5 got certified for oreo.
