Turbo Sim etc

Has anybody successfully used a turbo-sim on a locked Bell Galaxy S Without any problems?
which one would you guys recommend? I've just about given up on waiting for an unlock code from unlockgenie.com

[q] cannot unlock the bootloader in a play purchased from rogers canada

simply can i booot my phone? I tried going by instruction, at SE website it did give me the code, but it got stuck where it says find the driver and sE says it cant be boooted. so im wondering if that is true meaning there is no other way for now?1
how about if i pay to one of these unlocking websites and try agian?!

Root with gingerbreak. Unlock sim with cellphoneunlocker.net. Do not unlock bootloader as there isnt any reason to yet. Just my 2 cents

[Q] How Do I SIM unlock?

I have Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M (Fido)
Andriod Version : 4.2.2
Baseband : I337MVLUAMG1
Build : JDQ39.I337MVLUAMG1
How do I unlock the sim? I would like to use Bell sim later on.....
please don't bring up the idea of buying unlock code....

Buy yourself an unlock code and save a lot of headache. Otherwises there's something I think they call The Google, our something like that. I hear you can find all sorts of stuff with it. I'd probably try something like "sim unlock s4 xda"

We have Canadian i377m.
WE ARE FREE TO DO WHAT EVER WE WANT WITH OUR PHONES. It's like having a Google edition
And a simple yes. YOU Can Downgrade To What is the oldest firmware, so you can free unlock

Instructions should be free once an unlock code is purchased!
Anyway, the process is pretty simple.
Get an unlock code and then turn the phone on with a non-accepted SIM card. If the phone is locked, it'll then request the unlock code from there. If any company charges for those instructions, they're ripping people off.

Buy an unlock code. I've tried the free method and it FUBARed my phone. Unlock codes wouldn't work even after trying to undo the free unlock. The only thing that was able to unlock my phone was a paid USB unlock method.
$15 is not that expensive compared to network bricking your S4 with an unreliable free method.

[Q] Flashed n900w8 with cyanogenmod, cannot unlock

I failed two times trying to unlock my note 3 n900w8 (bell) that has been flashed to cyanogenmod. Does anyone know if flashed firmwares have problems unlocking? The guy at the second shop told me that I needed to go back to stock. Is anyone familiar with this?

You cannot unlock by just flashing another firmware.

No...what I mean is I try to unlock AFTER flashing... I currently fail to unlock on cyanogenmod

The same. You need unlock code for it.

Nevermind, I got it to work.
PSA and to all future readers: If you're using a note 3 from CANADA (n900w8), and you flash a hlte/cm based custom rom on it, you will NOT be able to unlock your phone using the unlock code from your original carrier while you're on the custom rom (as it's carrier is 'general'; see below) -- you need to revert back to stock (I had bell) and then throw in the unlock code for the original carrier for it to unlock.
What I theorize is that you'll be able to use a general unlock code rather than a carrier specific unlock code to work when on a general (ie. cm) based rom however.

Not really understand what you are saying. Anyway thank you for sharing

[Q] How to unlock US cellular Samsung Galaxy S5

If i root device and flash international version of rom will i be able to use any sim on it? or is there any other free or paid ways to unlock it?

yes there are paid ways to unlock it.

I haven't been able to find any way to unlock it

Bumping this. I tried an international ROM and I just keep getting the "no sim" icon
