I need to know if I can flash this phone to run some other firmware allowing me to use my phone with GSM. I want to use it on StraightTalk but so far they claim my phone isn't able to be used with the bring your own phone, here are the phones spec's
Samsung Galaxy S6
Model Number: SM-920P (Sprint, unlocked)
software version: G920PVPS4CPJ1
Hardware version: G920P.02
Android version: 6.0.1
Android security patch level: october 1 2016
Build number: MMB29K.G920PVPS4CPJ1
Sprint won't let me use the phone on their network because it has been unlocked and they wont re-lock it to their network. So I am trying to get it to work on the Straight Talk network, I think it's my only option. I have a ATT sim card activated and working right now that fits into the S6 but it wont make phone calls, but will work in my other Straight Talk phone. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone i bought this S4 mini from kijiji and it was locked to a Canadian carrier virgin mobile. So i got it unlocked (by buying an unlock code) and i am trying to use chatr (cell phone carrier) here in Canada. When i go into search for mobile networks it does show me "chatr" and it does say registered on network but i am not able to make any calls because its always on "Emergency calls only". I have tried all the settings and i have also factory resetted the phone but still no luck. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the sim card as it works n the other phone. Also sim slot seems to be fine as well since it was asking for the unlock code. Please let me know if i need to flash the phone or what can i do to it to make it work. Sorry i am not that tech savvy. Heres the video i made of the stuff i just explained: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayCjJk8wY4Y

Hello, This is my first ever post on this website. Please bear with me if it's too long or confusing.
I have a Galaxy Note II I317. It's basically an AT&T phone but when I insert SIM from another carrier (e.g. H2O) it doesn't ask me for an unlock code. Moreover, I have an unlock code from AT&T as well.
The phone shows full signal strength for the mobile carrier. However, I'm unable to send sms or make a phone call. Whenever I try to place a call, it says "emergency calls only". I tried this in USA and now I'm in Pakistan.
Here, I encountered the same problem. We have five major networks here in Pakistan. Ufone, Zong, Telenor, Mobilink and Warid. I tried with Ufone, Warid and Telenor. The phone works OK with Telenor but experienced the above problem with Warid and Ufone. I have rooted the phone, downgraded to 4.1.1. and then back to 4.4.2. However, nothing seems to work. Mobile repair shops are also of no help. If anyone has any idea, I will really appreciate this.

Hi,
You can try this thread, and ask about it here if you wish,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037017
Good luck!
I have tried this method but I don't get the option "now you are in [6] Network Lock then choose [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ".
I looked around on internet for this problem and found that this methods works with 4.1.1 and below. Moreover, this is for mobiles which ask for an unlock code. My Galaxy Note II doesn't ask for an unlock code.
I will have your thread moved then to your device section, so the experts who own your device can help.

You have to flash the U1 firmware, then flash the AT&T G960U firmware. Same way you flashed T-Mobile, just in reverse.
Msg me i would like to help you to restore your device
I am new to this forum and I just bought a Samsung S9. I live in Norway but I wanted the US version since this has the FM radio enabled and its supposed to be more energy efficient also. So now I have a unlocked US version (SM-G960U) which works well with my carrier Telenor.
Now I found out that this does not have the VoLTE (4G calling) function for some strange reason. As I mentioned, its unlocked but when starting the phone,the startup screen shows "Sprint". I'm thinking this has something to do with it.
I would very much like to get the VoLTE function working on this phone. Can I install a "neutral" firmware so as to get this working, or what?
Any help here will be greatly appreciated.
I'm in the US on a Sprint S8 (until Friday) and Sprint doesn't support VoLTE in my city. Yes, I know it's 2019....... That's more than likely why it's not working for you.

Hi! Is anyone else seeing this?
VoLTE had finally been fixed and was working fine in Android 9.
But it stopped working (different symptoms) when I upgraded to Android 10 via the 6-MAY-20 System Update.
More info...4G LTE data works fine.
Settings -> Connections -> Mobile Networks -> "VoLTE calls" feature is visible, and I enabled it (says "Use LTE data networks for calls whenever possible").
But whenever I dial, it switches from LTE to 1xRTT.
Phone is an unlocked Verizon S9 on Tracfone's Bring Your Own Phone plan using Verizon's network. Stock ROMs, not rooted.
Doesn't matter if WiFi is on or off.
Under "SIM card status", "Mobile data network type" is LTE. But "Mobile voice network type" is "1xRTT" and I don't know why.
Appreciate any help!
P.S. I wonder if this new problem might also only occur with MVNOS as apparently was the case in the "For those who use Verizon MVNO's VoLTE Now works after Update!" thread in this forum?
I did not find a solution for Android 10. Since I received no replies, I’m guessing that this may not be a widespread problem. E.g. perhaps it only affects MVNOs such as Tracfone.
Fortunately, the locked bootloader did allow me to use Odin to downgrade from the May 6, 2020 Android 10 (G960USQS7DTE1) version to the Nov 26, 2019 final Android 9 version (G960USQS7CSK5). I wish I could go back to an even older version because I used to only have half the idle battery drain last year. But the locked bootloader does not seem to permit it.
After downgrading back to Android 9, “SIM card status -> Mobile voice network type” is now LTE instead of 1xRTT, and VoLTE works again. Hopefully there will be a solution and I will be able to upgrade again some time. Please let me know if you have any info on this problem.

I see that G960USQU3BRJ5 is Android 8.0.0 with build date Mon, 15 Oct 2018 09:34:58. The problems I am aware of have been with Android 9 and 10. So hopefully VoLTE will work fine on your phone as it is. (As an aside,
your battery life may be better than the recent builds of Android 9 and 10 too.)
The details of enabling VoLTE seems to vary by carrier, but should not be hard to find with an Internet search. Good luck!
