Depends on what model. Verizon branded not yet. Not without root. Need root to pull the code from the phone. I'll be working on that after I get root. As for the others check around the forums. I did it with Motorola phones. It was in /dev/block/stl5 not sure where Samsungs is located yet.

OK, so it is possible then, or is it just theory right now? Regarding the carrier lock.

The model I am working on is a Samsung Galaxy Core LTE SM-G386W

Thanks for the reply.

That's the international version right? If so, there is root and custom ROMs available. Once you get root, get adb, open a terminal and run
adb shell su pull /dev/block /whatever/directory/
Them send it to me. I'll look through it and find it.

My friend hasn't dropped the phone off yet so I can't send you the contents of /dev/block/ I am assuming that you want all the mmcblk0p(n) files, or do I have to send the ram(n) and loop(n) files too?
