How to unlock country/ network lock on my phone? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have bought a Chinese phone juma v9 from UAE but it came with network restrictions. In my country india, Data traffic works well but no income or outgoing calls. When calling it shows 'no network available' but it shows full network in network bar along with 4G written on it. I think there is country / network lock on this device.
How can I unlock this?
It is a rooted phone. Following are details
Company- Juma
Model- V9
Android- 6.0
Build no.- Android 11.1.01.22.LXY
Custom build no.- ALPS.L1.MP6.V2
Also is there any custom rom available for this device.?
Thanks!

No, it wont work until you flash it to a provider in your country. Sense the phone was activated in another country, your not going to be able to use networking because the provider is out of range. Also if you get signal, and the provider from the phone's country has retail stores in your country, then the networks in your country could be blocking your phone from receiving networking, sense its using a different area code, ip,etc.
You best bet is going to your local service provider and getting the for unlocked or flashed to that service. They will give you a new SIM card and everything should work awesome

You have to root your phone first using SRS Root application, then install an application from Play Store that called HiAPN Global, use that to set your default APN settings, about "Unknown Type Card" just rename your sim card to a desired carrier.

Hmm... Seems to me your phone is bought and produced in 2014. Try to do this:
1. Flash 124 ROW ROM with a custom preloader you will find around here.
2. Then do OTA update.
3. The update will install for your phone ROW( rest of the world) modem. For me worked(pentru mine a mers ).
4. PM me iff this don't work.

Thanks for your response. So it will.be on experimenting modems but it will be simply trial and hit and risky especially wid a new handset nd im a newcomer. I have already returned one lenevo p780 and this is my second p780. Is there any reference mapping like against which model version compatible with which modem version. Anyways thanks again.

S6 Edge SM-G925F , Abnormal Behavior

Hey Guys , I recently purchased an S6 edge G925F from my local market , in used condition , it came with Android 5.1 Lolipop but when i upgraded it to marshmallow , its GSM capability stopped , which means that it detected my local network but failed to register on my sim network , it would say " could not connect , try later" , G925F roms work completely except sim communication , and when i had this issue , i took it to my seller to repair it , and he refreshed it to lollipop again and said that dont upgrade to marshmallow , because it has GSM bugs etc , and i asked him about what happened and asked that whether it was locked or etc , he answered that my phone got locked (i dont know if its carrier or bootloader or baseband lock) but he said it got locked due to baseband change , My questions are :
Q1. is this a reconditioned phone that was previously some carrier phone that they converted it to G925F ?
Q2. Do locks (network , carrier , baseband , etc) exist for G925F which would produce GSM issues ? like i had ? sim works but fails to register on gsm network
I will be glad if anyone could help me out! (P.S IMEI remained intact , didnt get corrupt, despite no network capability , and i checked , in my country it isnt flagged stolen or etc)

Question SM-T225 with US T Mobile

Hello
I got this tablet SM-T225 and used it with T Mobile in the US, but the data stops working a lot. some times it shows 4G on the notification but no internet, other times it shows "E" in place of "4G" and very very slow internet or no internet. I tried moving to different location but the same problem, some times work and other times doesn't while the phone and my other tablets work normally. the WIFI works without a problem.
the tablet had CSC CHO and the service provider software version showing OWO CHO
the tablet is rooted and bootloader unlocked.
my questions
is it a tablet problem or this model doesn't work reliably in the us?
or it needs to be flashed with different firmware?
thanks

Seem bootloader ok , firmware ok, try to clean flash with stock.
But now where are you? Chile or US. If live in us why not installed US firmware Region.?
I am in the US and this model is not used in the states by any provider, no firmware for it in US as far as I know https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-T225
I flashed it before with stock firmware (CHO) after I flashed it with magisk patched boot loader but same problem, I will give it another try now. at first when I flashed it with magisk I used in the in the CSC slot HOME_CSC_OWO_ but later I used CSC_OWO_ if that matters.
unfortunately after flashing stock firmware https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-T225/CHO/T225XXU1BVGB same problem.
I have this tablet in the USA on att post paid with a "phone" based sim. It can txt via the native mssgs app or Google messages. It won't make phone calls via the native app. Voip calls over Google voice will work.
Also tmobile sells this tablet as a the sm-t227 and it works fully ont their network

Can't used sm-t225 with your provider. Sorry
I am aware that the 227 is used by T Mobile, but I read a comment on XDA that the Bootloader of 227 used in the US is not unlockable and I went with the 225 to be able to unlock the bootloader
I am returning.
I appear to have basically the same issue. I cqn send texts but mobile data just does not register. I have model T227u that was sold through Fido in canada. I hqve a 12 gb data plan and everything works fine on a phone. (I also have a note 9 that is starting to crap out.)
It is running android 13 and is rooted with magisk 26.1 patched boot img
solution for this issue is to just Flash one of the SM-T225 official firmwares for T-Mobile Europe. (I switched it to using the Poland (T-Mobile) - TPL version. T225XXS2CWA6

Now, that IS interesting, particularly if that conclusion applies to every "unlocked" version of T225 sold in the Western Hemisphere. Mine was sold by Amazon's on line from store, specifically advertised to work as phone etc. Been trying to solve by GSI, twrp root for a while. Getting an "involuntary" refund from Amazon so it's worth trying.
