Hi,
After a quick search on Google, the first results page points to www.unlockunit.com, while on the second page I've also found www.safeunlockcode.com. I couldn't find the prices for the latter, but the first company seems to have some pretty accessible fees.

Unlock Unit could not help me and had to refund my payment. They required me to upload a video of proof that the code they provided didn't work. It seems the phone can only be unlocked with the Unlock app that comes pre-installed, at least for now. T-Mobile hasn't even been able to help me unlock it yet.

you do know that T-Mobile offers you x amount of days to unlock you phone right? (Device unlock) you should have an icon for it.

Rep told me today that they are only allowing unlock for business customers and long standing regular customers. (2+ year active account) If you don't qualify for this, she said the earliest people will be able to submit for an unlock is 20 days - after the buyers remorse period. Still doesn't make sense to me as that only locks me to the device and not the service.

I see what you are saying. I have been with them for 10 years so I see where I wouldn't have that issue. Making you wait the 20 days does not make sense seeing that you are tied to the phone anyways or maybe because people may try to flip the it for $? I am sure they have their reasons. I would wait if you are not in a big rush.

Seems like those of us who got the phone to immediately use on AT&T are at a painful time. I haven't been able to use my edge as my primary device because of the unlock struggle. Now I can open a business line with tmobile no problem and tmobile has wideband in my area, it's just that for the same $55 I'd pay them for unlimited everything, I get better coverage with cricket and get 20GB (which I'm grandfathered) which feels like unlimited because I use 10GB under super heavy usage.

Maybe its only matter of time that the people of xdadevelopers came up with an unlock option by software.
Hope it doesn' t take long.

not sre which varient you ask for but one of my friend successfully unlocked his at&t variant with www.codes2unlock.com

Just unlock my tmob s6 edge with theunlockpros.com just take like 15 minutes, cost like 25 dollars you have to download a software then a guy connects to your computer and will guide you all the process to unlock your phone, it helps if you already rooted with pingpong.

T-mobile device unlock app not working

So I called tmobile and requested my gs6e to be unlocked. I got the email that the unlock is ready with instructions on how to use the tmobile device unlock app. But it keeps saying, "Unlock Failed". I called csr and they don't have a clue why it's not working and told me I could exchange it for another phone. Apparently, they cannot give an unlock code to enter and I have to go through their app to unlock.
Curious, has anyone successfully used the Tmobile device unlock app to unlock their gs6e yet?

I have had 2 emails saying I am good to unlock the phone and the app won't let me unlock. I am as frustrated as you. Do you have a plan with tmobile? I am wondering if I need to use a existing tmobile nano sim with a data plan since I don't have one and am doing pay as you go

I got mine unlocked!
I had $100 in a prepaid account. App didn't work for 4 days. I called tmobile and asked for a supervisor who did the override.
Ran the app and immediately was unlocked. They wanted a 14 day period for the return window, and said they couldn't do any more
I asked for the supervisor and it was done in seconds. I'm on at&t, working as expected

Yes I have the $50 plan with 1gb lte with tmobile. I'm also a new customer and haven't reached the 14 days window yet. Got the phone only 4 days. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Does the device unlock app works on WIFI?
I'm outside the US and the unlock email they send says: "must be connected to the internet via a cellular network in order to complete the steps"
Since I'm prepaid there is no data roaming so it will be impossible for me to connect to a data network.
Has anyone tried to unlock over wifi? or outside the US?
Thanks!

The app itself does need to be connected to the T-Mobile cell tower during the unlock process. However, T-Mobile should still provide you with the unlock code. I unlocked mine with an unlocked code provided by the T-Mobile Customer Service Agent. Ask the agent for the code, plug in another SIM card and unlock. Don't use the app.

Thanks! I think then my issue is the 14days. I have called Tmobile 3 times today and all the supervisors told me that they are not able to take out the 14 days restriction. They elevated the issue to the unlock department to request the code without the app.
How did you introduced the code? did you use the: #7465625*638*# command? I received a code from cellunlock it works if I don't have a sim card on the phone "unlock successful" but as soon as I put a new sim and the device is restarted it says again that the sim card can't be recognized.

I called tmobile and they escalated unlock issue to a supervisor but I was also told the same restriction about the 14 days before they can do an override to unlock

Ok, I successfully unlocked my T-Mobile Galaxy S6 with the app, heres the steps I took to achieve this,
1. paid the phone off in full
2. paid 2 months ahead on my plan
3. contact customer support via chat and had the rep put an unlock request in
4. waited for about 12 hours and I got my unlock email explaining how to use the unlock app
5. multiple attempts of unlocking with the app was met with failure
6. called T-Mobile tech support (make sure you ask for tech support, customer care has no idea what there doing) and explained to them you received the unlock email and the app was not working
7. heres the hard part, your going to be on the phone with tech support for about a half hour while they try to understand why a phone cant be unlocked with an unlock code (its like these people are unaware of how these phones work), you have to just hold out and play dumb the entire time. they will eventually transfer you to the unlock department and youll be done in about 30 secs
I now have a fully unlocked phone working on AT&T. Feel free to ask me any more questions.

Do they really transfer you to the unlock department? they keep telling me that they can only reach the unlock department via email and there is no way the can transfer me, give me an email or call this department. I keep receiving the email to unlock the device but since I'm inside the 14 days remorse period I'm unable to unlock. Any recommendation on how should I get in contact with the unlock department?
Thanks!

Was told the same thing about the 14 days restriction. Curious how to get to talk to the unlock dept

T-mobile keep telling me that there is no unlock code for my device, that the only way to unlock is connected to a DATA network in the US. They are telling me that I will need to send my phone back to the US. Were you really able to unlock it with a code? how did you even enter the code? Thanks.

How to Enter Unlock Code for TMOBILE USA (Galaxy S6 / S6 EDGE)(G920T / G925T)
I think this is what everyone is looking for right?
Or at least hoping for someone to tell them that it's possible to Unlock TMOBILE USA Galaxy S6 / S6 EDGE (G920T / G925T)
I have about 5pcs of TMOBILE USA Galaxy S6 EDGE (G925T) and trying to unlock as well.
Already purchased only (One) Unlock Code to try one of the 5pcs of TMOBILE USA Galaxy S6 EDGE (G925T):
This is what I found online this morning: (SEE LINK BELOW)
https://blog.unlockbase.com/unlock-samsung-galaxy-s6-tmobile-usa/
I guess it's plain and simple way to say.
TMOBILE USA Galaxy S6 EDGE (G925T) has a CUSTOM FIRMWARE that prevent the "SIM NETWORK UNLOCK PIN" box from popup so you can Enter Unlock Code.
===================================================
The way around this is: (SIMILAR LIKE: TMOBILE GALAXY AVANT)
Use Newest ODIN-Flash-MetroPCS Firmware (S6 / S6 EDGE)
Reboot
Then "SIM NETWORK UNLOCK PIN" box will popup
Enter "Unlock Code"
REFLASH back with ORIGINAL TMOBILE USA STOCK FIRMWARE.
Enjoy.... (Will Remain Unlock)
I CANNOT verify this method just yet because METROPCS Firmware for Galaxy S6 EDGE is NOT AVAILABLE yet.
I will confirm this once I get my hand on METROPCS Firmware for the S6 EDGE.
Can someone with TMOBILE GALAXY S6 (G920T) test out this method and confirm ?
Hopefully this will calm or make it a good news for everyone with TMOBILE USA Galaxy S6 / S6 EDGE.
Cheers !

This appered yesterday. The site says that we check later for the rom for S6 Edge, as you said.
I am one of those waiting for the rom, just to try it. Hope we can confirm or denied this later.

Hello there,
Unknowingly I have bought a blacklisted T-Mobile Samsung s6 edge from someone. The phone is in India now and it was working for 1 month and couple of days back it stopped working. When I have checked with T-Mobile they said it is a lost mobile and listed as a blacklisted.
I want to check if anyone can help me unlocking the phone and I'm ready to pay too.
Please help me this problem.
Thanks in Advance!!!

Can the bootloader on an Unlocked att Note 4 be unlocked

Hi,
I know there is no way to unlock the bootloader on an att Note 4, but if ATT unlocks it would it become an International Version and can the bootloader be unlocked? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Young fool.... only now do you realize the power of evil AT&T produces.
Now Rosachin, you will die.
(In all realness, no of course not. ATT ain't that nice nor will it ever be. You can unlock the phone in terms of cellular network but that's it.)

I cant believe I didnt come here before I bought 2 brand new at&t Note 4's Unlocked. What an idiot I am. Just never had a at&t and didnt think anything of it because everytime I have wanted to root and mod my previous phones, I never had a problem.. I never had at&t though.. uhhgg. maybe by the time I just cant stand the stock rom, they will unlock the bootloader? I dont know if that's how it works...
Oh well, sad man here.

Oh I feel you man. Note 4 was my first phone on ATT and I regret it. If I wanted to be locked down I would get a iphone. Still the note 4 is a great phone just with a lot of unused potential.

Well, I just sent a return request for one of the note 4's. AND just bought a USED sm910T from ebay.
So, instead of me getting a brand new AT&T UNMODDABLE note 4, I will be getting a used but in great condition T-Mobile note 4.
And if I can get out of the restocking fees from the return, I will come out 50 bucks ahead. Cool.
The other new note 4 went to my daughter for xmas, and she already broke the screen. DOH!!
I lucked out this time I guess.
Cheers all.

Yeah man, I'ved used At&t for years. Some phones still ended up rooting and unlocked (Sky-Rocket, LG E970, and Note II) this is the 1st phone I purchased that couldn't be rooted to install ROMs and Mods. Very annoyed but glad to know after this experience we know not to buy from At&t directly. Either buy unlocked form Swappa, eBay or Amazon or know that you will be limited when you buy from carrier. In the mean time if you really want out, pay the bill so its clear for selling, and sell it online or in person. Also you can wait it out until the next upgrade.

Never again for me, not directly from AT&T & maybe not Samsung. [AT&T-Captivate, and VZ-Note2..rooted and other ROM'd but now ]. Question: what aspect of the hardware allows a carrier's specific bands of LTE to function? Or is it that the hardware is fully "plastic", capable of any LTE banding given the software[albeit locked] and SIM[mine unlocked] ? There are multiple Note4's. AT&Ts also runs UMTS and GSM. T's? Verizon's also runs its EV-DO. Perhaps these 2G, and 3G aspects become irrelevant and the 4G/LTE buildout completes, but the question remains over capability on carrier specific LTE bands.
With my SIM unlocked Note4 I used a VODA SIM this summer in Italy, but don't recall whether I had access to LTE , or evn which data mode functioned.

Ok, I hope I don't get in trouble for asking this here. . I tried to search but I'm not real good on this phone yet. . That's no excuse, I know. ..
Anyway, I received my T-Mobile Note 4 today and I want to root it right away as I am an owner of titanium backup and rom toolbox.
I am wondering if there is an easy way to root my device without installing a custom kernel AND not require a pc?
If I have to use a custom kernel, which one is the most stable?
My device specs are
SM-N910T3
Android 5.1.1
LMY47X.N910T3UVU1DOK2
KNOX 2.4.1
I have data turned off on my phone and disabled data from my carrier. I use WiFi and no data. .
Again I'm sorry for asking this but it's been a real long time since I have installed custom anything and my pc blue screens randomly so I'm afraid to try rooting my phone that way.
Please, step by step, easy tutorial or a link to where I need to go?
Thanks a bunch.

I'd recommend asking on the T-mobile Note 4 forum. We all own the ATT model here.

The real reason carriers lock bootloaders (just remove the space after www and http)
http s://www .youtube.com/watch?v=gpVocvREboo&list=UURAxVOVt3sasdcxW343eg_A&app=desktop

[email protected] the space. Ironically....yeah i will remove the space so you can suffer clicking on the link on your phone...

Since we are on the subject of bootloaders. It's been a while since I flashed a custom rom on a phone. But from what I remember, isn't the bootloader these pictures that I attached? I took pictures on my AT&T Note 4.
Thanks

Yes i have read the whole thing.
Ok, to cut a long story short;
i bought a note 4 on an online australian shop for $470 (really hard without a job)
Anyway, they noted that their phones are from GENUINE Suppliers and i got a Note 4 UNLOCKED from, you guessed it. AT&T.
Now i wasnt too fussed. I was happy i got a note 4 that wasnt a chinese brick phone, since it technically was refurbished from their Hong Kong Warehouse. Anyways
After like...idk 2 months? approx? i decided i wanna root it. Guess what?! BOOTLOADER. WHAT THE ***T!!
Anyway, i spoke to some people, one said he hasnt rooted a phone passed gen 6. and the other person said 'no cant root. Bootloader is locked and no way to bypass.'
Soo im wondering if its possible to root the phone without removing bootloader? I dont restart my phone much and the whole bootloader doesnt worry me so im just curious if i can chuck a stock rom on without worrying about the bootloader.
Some background info:
I am Australian, therefore my phone is running under Australian networks (Boost, Lyca, Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, etc)
It is filled with unwanted, unnecessary AT&T bloatware.

i bought a note 4 on an online australian shop for $470 (really hard without a job)
Anyway, they noted that their phones are from GENUINE Suppliers and i got a Note 4 UNLOCKED from, you guessed it. AT&T.
Now i wasnt too fussed. I was happy i got a note 4 that wasnt a chinese brick phone, since it technically was refurbished from their Hong Kong Warehouse. Anyways
After like...idk 2 months? approx? i decided i wanna root it. Guess what?! BOOTLOADER. WHAT THE ***T!!
Anyway, i spoke to some people, one said he hasnt rooted a phone passed gen 6. and the other person said 'no cant root. Bootloader is locked and no way to bypass.'
Soo im wondering if its possible to root the phone without removing bootloader? I dont restart my phone much and the whole bootloader doesnt worry me so im just curious if i can chuck a stock rom on without worrying about the bootloader.
Some background info:
I am Australian, therefore my phone is running under Australian networks (Boost, Lyca, Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, etc)
It is filled with unwanted, unnecessary AT&T bloatware.

No root or bootloader unlock yet or maybe ever....u can disable all the att stuff but not remove completely without root. At least it will cleanup ure app drawer a lil.

AT&T note 4 update?
I'm seeing the most recent updates being in 2016. Is there any new updates on the progress of unlocking bootloader for this device?

Hi,
I know there is no way to unlock the bootloader on an att Note 4, but if ATT unlocks it would it become an International Version and can the bootloader be unlocked? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Ripping encrypted DVDs (or DVDs locked to a region) = unlocked
PlayStation 3 = reverse engineered
iPhone = jailbroken
Why isn't the AT&T Note4 unlocked yet? Would offering a bounty help? Is it impossible to unlock? Is it a matter of time? Is it a matter of throwing lots of computation power against the lock?
What will finally get the AT&T Note4 unlocked?

With that, the ATT Note 4 may very well be, the most secure mobile phone ever!

Is there no bounty offered? If each ATT Note4 owner chips in a few dollars, we could raise a bounty of several hundred dollars. Then some tech-wiz can take much time trying to unlock the bootloader.
Anybody else willing to contribute to a bounty?

Sprint gave me MSL when I asked for GSM Unlock??

So I just called Sprint to see if I could unlock my Galaxy Note 4 for international use.. The girl on the line after putting on hold a few times, comes back and says they can't unlock it but can give me the code to give to the other carrier and they will be able to unlock for GSM use.. I said ok and she gave me the MSL.
As I understand it, MSL is just for some menus in the phone and not useful in unlocking GSM/SIM use..
What are my options? ..
Edit:.. I called again, got the sprint international support number (888-226-7212) and these people seem to understand what GSM Unlock actually is LOL ..
anyway.. They tell me that the phone have to be active on my account for at least 90 days before they unlock it..
I did buy the phone used from EBay and to my understand it is paid for in full.. Sprint Rep also confirmed that.. It is also active and works fine on my account right now but I only activated it today..
So - What is this nonsense about having to wait 90 days?
One more EDIT: .. I called the international support # again. This time with some info I found on the sprint website.. (https://www.sprint.com/legal/unlocking_policy.html) .. They were telling me that the device have to be active on my account for 90 days.. but the site says this:
"The applicable device is currently active on a Sprint account and the applicable account has been active for at least 90 days. "
So, after reading this back to them, she went ahead.. although with frustration and I could tell she didn't like that.. but did unlock it for me

Sprint gave me an MSL, too, but so far it's been USELESS!
I bought my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in April 2015.
I've been calling and dealing with Sprint since December 2015, trying to get them to unlock my Note 4 for use w/ ANY other carriers. (It does not seem to be possible.)
The 4 or 5 separate times I've called Sprint, the outcome has been the same. They put me on hold, and all I get in the end is an "MSL code" ... to be used by the new carrier to "unlock" the phone for use w/ other (domestic) carriers.
I've been told on a few of those initial calls to Sprint that my phone "unlock" was complete.
I've gone to Metro PCS (several times), T-Mobile, etc. So far no luck.
The phone still seems to be LOCKED for Sprint use ONLY.
I've tried the following SIMs on the phone, NONE have worked: Metro PCS, H2O, T-Mobile (1 live and 1 to be activated), SimpleMobile, and a friend's live SIM.
The message the on the phone is: Invalid SIM card.
My phone was purchased new, for Sprint, everything in good standing. Paid in full. No longer in contract. Not blacklisted, etc.
So, Mr. Q, basically, I find it hard to believe that your Sprint Note 4 was "unlocked."
However, I am going to call this number, and see what results I get. Especially since my phone was bought from Sprint and has been active and on Sprint since day 1.
P.S. You write that the lady did "unlock" your Sprint Note 4 for you. What exactly does this mean? Are you able to use other SIMs now?
Do tell. Please...
I await your reply!

Here is how I understand it, for the Note 4, Sprint will only unlock it for International Use. Meaning we won't be able to use it on any other carrier here in the U.S. and even that, if you try to use the phone you will only get Voice/SMS and 3g internet.
I am not even sure yet if it's really unlocked and I can't try it until I go to another country.. However, they did sent some kind of update to the device and told me to go to the phone Settings, Update and then UICC Unlock. Now on the Sprint website there is a menu and have a selection that says "Unlock my phone" or something like that, it says Phone is already unlocked for International use.
So.. does not seem like you can GSM Unlock Note 4 for domestic use.
If you or others want my advice, it is to set aside some extra money and buy a real factory unlocked phone that will work in the U.S. and outside the U.S. on GSM.. and that phone is not going to be a Sprint one.
However, if you do still want to unlock GSM use inside the U.S. I think the option is to look here or on other websites for that.. I myself will need to do some more research and see if we can use a Sprint Note 4 on T-Mobile and other GSM.

Keep me posted and good luck!
Some guy on youtube, MN MobileGuy, claims to be able to "SIM unlock" this phone for GSM use.
He charges $60 and says his process takes about an hour to remotely unlock the phone.

I dont mean to sound rude, but a fair bit of reading would have probably led you to the fact that there is an app and a developer on here that produced a tool to unlock all sprint galaxy devices over several months ago. The original thread with the tool got edited so you have to go over to his website to get it done. Costs about $35 its pretty straight forward i've used it several times no hastle...

what's the link to the original thread? why'd it get edited/deleted? was it posted as free?
I've seen a thread w/ a guy who posted a bunch of links and files. but i can't trust someone online i don't know.
like i said, there's a guy on youtube that claims to do the same thing. at least his face is on his videos making claims.
i guess i've come across too many that use scenarios like this to compromise other people's property.
if someone i knew, w/ the same phone, had a locked Sprint one day, and then next day they were on an unlocked GSM carrier, then i 'd go see the guy. otherwise, not.
i've seen way too many ppl. take advantage of others.
sucks. but, yeah... life.

Keyword to google search is idone. Well known fact around here; he's the trusted developer of Galaxy Tools.
