Only some of the US variants of the S4 are bootloader locked. All international variants have unlocked bootloaders, therefore you can proceed to use the CF autoroot as normal. If had needed to unlock the bootloader, it would have been specified in the thread. You need to read the threads carefully.

Hello guys I own a Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M, Fido Unlocked (https://www.fido.ca/)
So my Question is, may I root and firmware flash this phone without losing the unlocked. I mean if I root and flash this phone will it be locked?
Will work Motochopper? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248
Thanks for your help
No it well not lock it if you root. Once it's unlocked it will remain that way

It has a locked bootloader
Also, you are lucky to still be on MDL firmware, DO NOT update to the MF3 firmware or you will lose ability to root your S4. My advice would be to remove sim card and turn off Wifi (to prevent accidentally updating) then root phone with Motochopper. Once rooted go freeze the update apks to ensure it does not update on you later. MF3 is unrootable as of now so DO NOT update if you want root!
I think you mean MF3. And yes, you have a locked bootloader, you should use this...and he is right do NOT do a update, once you do you lose root, and there is no way back just yet.

I just recently acquire myself a Sprint Galaxy S4. It is not rooted. It is running stock android 4.3 with the L720VPUEMK2 baseband. My question is can I unlock this phone to use on US gsm carriers like Tmobile and AT&T? I don't want to buy any unlock code from ebay because those codes only allow it to unlock to use for overseas. Have I had a choice I would've just bought a Tmobile, AT&T or verizon galaxy s4, but they were too expensive. Can anyone help me?
Pls read next time, anyways no you can't as of right now because only works with mdc or mdl basebands and no way to downgrade right now...mf9 and above you can international unlock tho

Darn it!!! So what you're basically saying is that even if I rooted the phone and use a rom that supports MDC or MDL basebands I still can't unlock it to use on domestic GSM carriers? If that's the case if i'm reading correctly then I guess it's time to put up the phone for sale on Swappa.
I think that because you can't downgrade to MDC/MDL baseband you can't unlock it in domestic GSM carrier at least currently.
The knox in bootloader denied you to downgrade to MDC/MDL baseband.
So either wait to get a solution or sell it.

Some users tell that they can downgrade the baseband easly to MDC/MDL baseband only.
so if you can you can unlock GSM.
Note:downgrade the baseband only ....neither the software nor bootloader.
Hello
I need to make a hard reset to my phone, and I want to also update to 4.4.2, but I see a lot of firmwares on sammobile and I don't know which one install.
My phone is free and I don't want to lost knox 0x0, region will be great if its uk one or someone with english default.
Any idea?
You can try out the latest rom from Trinidad and Tobago TTT as it supports English by default.
Also you should know that once you upgraded to Kitkat 4.4.2 you won't be able to downgrade to Jelly Bean back

Is your phone a European model? An N9005 or an N900 variant?, is it a HK Note? What CSC do you currently use?
Dial *#1234# in your keypad and post the results.
Need more information before guiding you..

Hi
It is a sim free italian N9005
Right now it is :
AP: N9005XXUBMJ1
CSC: N9005XXBMJ1
You can root without losing KNOX via Universal Root De La Vega. - then you can upgrade via Mobile Odin Pro and keep your KNOX - have a good read around and understand the process and risks involved etc.

However, once you go to Kitkat you can't go back to JB....
I know its been mentioned before but it really needs to be understood...
