Sorry for this noob question.
Will this ROM unlock my network-locked S5?

No. I've never seen a ROM that will actually unlock a network locked phone. Normally you should ask the carrier you are locked to to give you a sim unlock code to unlock your phone.

If you cannot get one from your carrier, you can purchase an unlock code from an unlock company. I have used swiftunlock.com with some success. They charged me 20 bucks but were by no means swift. It took a couple of days to get the code but once I did it worked correctly.

Good Luck.

Thanks for responding. $20 is expensive for a secondary phone I rarely use. But thanks for the suggestion. :good:

Actually as far as i know yes it will. If you root the phone and flash any custom rom then voila it should be fine

NOT true. Custom ROMs do not sim unlock phones. As this question in any ROM thread and you will see.

Well it worked for mine

Let's make sure we are talking about the same thing. A sim locked phone is locked to one carrier. So if I have a sim locked phone on T-Mobile service and I try to put an AT&T sim card in it, it will display an error and ask for an unlock code. This unlock code can be provided by the carrier or purchased from a unlock code company. Some of the earliest android phones could be unlocked by going into service menus and going through a series of steps and it would be unlocked.

I have used many ROMs and many phones and have never seen a ROM that could sim unlock a phone.

So what you are saying is that your phone was locked to a specific carrier, and you'd try to put a different sim card in it and it would ask for an unlock code. Then you loaded a custom ROM and you were able to put the other carrier's sim card in and it wasn't locked any longer and you could make calls?

Which ROM are you talking about and which two carrier sims did you use?

Actually when i got my phone brand new i didn't put the original sim card in initially. I put another one instead. But since then ive had several different carriers sims in mine and they all work

It sounds like your phone was unlocked originally.

I would like to try this ROM but not sure about step #4:

Flash with Odin version 3.10 or newer:
Bootloader XXU1CPG1 6.0.1 and Modem XXU1CPD2 6.0.1
Select at BL the Bootloader file and select at CP the Modem file and then press start.
If you already have Samsung's Android 6.0.1 bootloader and modems you can skip this step​

I have:
Software/baseband version: G900PVPS3CQD1
Hardware version: G900P.04
Model #: SM-G900P
Android version: 9.0.1
Kernel version: 3.4.0-10090296
dpi@SWDD6817 #1
Mon Apr 3 15:24:25 KST 2017
Build #: MMB29M.G900PVPS3CQD1

Also, what exactly is meant by "full wipe"? I have TWRP 3.1.1-0 installed and when I click "wipe" I have three options: "Advanced Wipe", "Format Data", and "Swipe to Factory Reset"...

Hello to you,

you are already in BL oft 6.0.1, so you can skip step 4.
Just pick factory reset, then it works.

Everything else okay?

I chose factory reset in TWRP then installed. On average, how long should one wait for the spinning logo to go away after rebooting?

Usually the full wipe means that you will erase everything that is in your phone (internal memory included if you select it), check the attached picture. Note that there are also the option to erase the SD and OTG in the advance wipe options, you should not select them, also, if your ROM zip file(s) are stored in the internal memory you should not pick this option.

How to g9006v please

POP-UP check port moisture has been detected

First of all thank you to INDIE and all developers for this great ROM.
Since when I flashed my S5 with the ROM I start getting this pop up "check port moisture has been detected" at each reboot.
I tried to use the Xposed fix but it does not work.:crying::crying:

Does anyone has some suggestion?

Sorry for sounding stupid. Giving the omega rom a go on my S5. I trying to install the remove bloatware app. I can get into twrp and install it that way but as soon as I do the phone goes bonkers i.e. crashes
