I am trying to get my phone unlocked through cellunlocker.net and it asks for my model number. I have the At&t S4 1337 model, but since I installed a custom rom, in the device settings it shows that my model is GT - I9505. So which one is really my model number now?
Thx

Have you tried the free unlock method?
Sent from my WICKED AT&T S4
Ya I have tried but since I don't have another provider's sim card right now I can't see if it works. I've went through the process 2 times just to check it out and both times restarted fine, but on the 3rd time it says that there is no back ups so I don't know if it works anymore.

Yes u can unlock it for free but you are going to risk breaking it described here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285431&page=45
Quoted Text By "scott14719":
Service provider gives a code. The phone asks for the code to be entered when it detects a sim from a different carrier. If the phones owner didn't screw something up via the "free method", the code is taken and the phone is sim unlocked.
The "free method" involves using the service menu to restore a previous version of the phones software (NV memory) that sometimes includes an unlocked modem. It works for some. The problem is, no one seems to know exactly what is on each phones backed up NV memory. Sometimes it just doesn't work (no other damage), sometimes it doesn't work but also caused the carriers unlock code not to work (need to USB unlock at that point), and sometimes it doesn't work and major screws the phone in the process. In this case, people have reported highly diminished signal, or unrecognized sims even with their own original sim card.

Just call your carrier and trek then your traveling overseas and would like the unlock code. In most cases they'll give it to you. For free!
Tried that guide and it did not work! Still get the sim unlock code message. Also the carrier is rogers so it cost $50 to get the unlock code lol

Easiest way to unlock it is to downgrade to 4.2.2 and then run RegionLock Away. Once you're done you can upgrade again and it'll remain unlocked.
I have a 5.0.1 rom, can I downgrade to 4.2.2? also, is that the correct version? I've been looking for unlock codes, but I can only find for the international version.

You can't downgrade to 4.2.2 from 5.01. Flash the 4.2.2 modem, root, run regionlockaway, flash back to 5.01 modem, i747m should be network unlocked.

Hello everyone
I've just got my hands on sprint galaxy s4. before you say anything about the thread already been made, I need to clarify that is model is the spark version SPH-L720T with "T" in the end. so far people are able to unlock the previous version of S4 but I couldn't find a thread regarding this particular model. So please can anyone help me unlocking this phone?
You didn't search. There's a thread for all questions regarding the Triband model. It is NOT possible to unlock that model at this time.

Isn't boost CDMA and not GSM like metro or Cricket. If so you have to flash the phone to boost.

The only thing I have found is you can do it yourself by purchasing CMDA workshop which is $100 or you can have someone else flash it to Boost from ebay for $50 to $60. Some people have you mail your phone and others will flash it remotely via teamviewer. Best thing to do is get your device on a stock rooted ROM. Get it flashed to Boost and then install a custom ROM if you wish. I am personally going to get it flashed remotely after I repair my cracked LCD screen on my S4 and after I get it on a stock rooted ROM. Hope this helps.
Just search ebay for flash to boost

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Aliexpress.
I received it, the seller said its I9500.
But, download Mode Says its SGH-i337
The "About phone" says its I9500, What to do ? What version is my phone ? Can i install root on it and install custom roms ?
Im confused..
There`s any way to make 100% sure what model its my phone ?
Thanks
srry, Wrong forum, please remove.
** If its okay to stay here, so dont remove
simple answer for you before removed. underneath the battery it will say model: that is what your phone actually is.

Yea, but its refurbished.. so im 99.9% sure that the seller has changed the sticker
if the sticker looks like it has been tampered with then it is likely that is the case, or the seller switched out the part that has the sticker on it. id say trust the download mode. it is nearly impossible to change that unless the chip itself was changed

although I have never come across this before so I may be wrong. if anything try the root methods of both variants and see which one works, then recoveries and roms haha.

A few possibilties...
A. It's running a custom ROM that has it flagged as a GT-I9500 in the build.prop but is a I337.
B. It's a GT-I5000 that someone foolishly flashed a I337 firmware to.
C. It's a I337 and always has been.
The point is if download mode says its a SGH-I337 it's a I337 end of story, that data is pulled from the board itself.
Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum so please excuse me if this is the wrong place to post this. I'll start from the beginning. I bought a Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337m) from somebody in my city. They said the phone originally worked with Rogers/Fido, but that they switched the logic board on it so now it works with Bell/Virgin. The thing is though, when I put my Virgin Mobile sim card in the phone, it won't let me send texts or make calls. I checked the IMEI and it's not blacklisted or anything.
It says No Service and has the little circle with a diagonal line showing up in the notification bar and when I try to send a text, it says No Network Connection (No signal found for mobile networks). I find it weird because I still get a notification saying that I have an unheard voicemail.
I've tried resetting the phone multiple times. I've also tried flashing both the Bell and Virgin Mobile Lollipop firmwares and that didn't work either. To be honest, I'm not sure how to tell which one I would need to install. I noticed when trying to flash the Bell firmware, that the phone kinda skips to a black screen quickly every time I close an app. I'm assuming that would mean it needs the Virgin Mobile firmware.
That still doesn't fix the mobile network issue though. If anyone could help me out, I would GREATLY appreciate it!!!! Here is a bit of info, I'm hoping it helps. If you need anything else, please let me know.
Model number: SGH-I337M
Android Version: 5.0.1
Baseband Version: I337MVLUGOC4
Build Number: LRX22C.I337MVLUGOC4
Also, in the "Status" menu, I noticed it says:
Service State
Voice: Out of Service / Data: Out of Service
Not sure if that has anything to do with it or if that's normal. Again, if you have any suggestions, PLEASE let me know. I'm super desperate as I can't afford to lose the money I paid for this. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Coincidentally my girlfriend has a Galaxy S4 of the same model and with Bell/Virgin. I opened up the ABOUT DEVICE menu in both phones and the only other difference I noticed is on hers it says:
SE for Android Status:
"sepf_sgh-I337M_5.0.1_0013"
And mine says "sepf_sgh-I337M_5.0.1_0009"
Does that have anything to do with it maybe?

Install this APP and add all screenshots pls .
Okay, will do. I will post the screenshots in about 20 mins. I rooted the phone, installed CWM and am in the middle of flashing the latest firmware again. I forgot to enable USB debugging before flashing originally and I wanted to install CWM to wipe the cache. No idea if that would make a difference but I've been up all night trying anything lol. Thank you for the reply though, will post the screenshots in about 20 mins.

All seems correct but I think your device works for Bell Mobile (BMC) only but NOT for Virgin Mobile (VMC). Try to use one BELL simcard for verify it.

In all my experience, Bell/Virgin are always interchangeable. Same with Telus/Koodo and Rogers/Fido. I tried putting a Bell sim card in though just now and it still has the problem. It doesnt load any of the signal bars or anything. Oddly enough, when there is no sim card in the phone, the bars show up?

Since it was from Bell, would flashing the Virgin Mobile firmware somehow mess it up? What are the exact steps I would need to take to try to reset it back to stock settings? I'm wondering if I'm missing anything. Or if the APN settings have anything to do with it? I set them to default already and tried adding the Virgin Mobile Canada apn settings as well

I am currently running a G900A (AT&T branded phone with locked bootloader) i am in the process of buying a used S5 but not sure if the bootloader is locked. Here is the phone info that the guy provided to me.
Sm-g900f , g900fxxu1anc9 , 4.4.2
Like i said in on AT&T S5 so i am not familiar with the F models. Any info would be much appreciated.
Is it rootable through towel root? Can i use TWRP or CWM south this device. It is carrier unlocked and he is using it on T mobile (gsm) so I'm guessing it will work on AT&T since is uses GSM as well. Thanks for any help.
