why hasn't a universal unlock code been 'revealed' yet for the J5(2016)?!

[Tommy Gunn]

I've owned my J5 (SM-J510GN; globe-locked) for almost a year now. I've been keeping a close eye, both, on the unlock sites and the kiosks here in Manila and - still - no unlock code is available for this phone. Is it still 'too new?' When do these codes usually start to trickle out?

If anyone has one (that will work for my Globe lock), please PM me.
TIA

Hi,
Unfortunately, I don't think you're able to unlock it via code. Since it's a dual SIM model, it has two IMEIs, so pretty much any unlock code provider is unable to help you.

Hmm....when i put in a non-Globe SIM, it asks for an unlock code. My experience tells me that if I had the code, it would unlock that IMEI.

Let's just say it wouldn't....how are dual SIM phones being unlocked then? I've yet to root it as it's still under warranty and there's no way (as of yet) to not flip the Knox value of this phone via root (hence, immediately ending warranty).

Thanks for the reply. Hope this thread becomes active and I find a sol'n.
