Unlock Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925T) from T-Mobile USA

The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925T)*from T-Mobile USA is*using a
custom firmware preventing the phone from being unlocked by code as
there is no way to enter it (these phone are simply not asking for “SIM Network Unlock PIN”). Before this post, the only way to Unlock the phone was by using the official T-Mobile* “Mobile Device Unlock App”*which
is an Android app called “Device Unlock” that allows you to request and
apply a mobile device unlock directly from the device. And absolutely no code that you’ll be able to buy online will work using this app.

So what do you do if you get an Unlock Code but you cannot use it?


Now there is a solution consisting of an upgrade to the firmware of the
phone with Telus Canada*Firmware instead of T-Mobile USA, and this will
allow the phone to ask for the Unlock Code. Below you will find a
tutorial about how to do this. Once you flash (update) your Phone with
this New Firmware, please make sure that your Samsung SM-G925T is now
asking for “SIM Network Unlock PIN”. And if the answer is yes you can then click this link to*order the Unlock Code of your Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge*from T-Mobile USA.
