I got the same problem....any help please?
Can't Unlock SIM either, here's what I've tried so far
Hi everyone. I haven't been able to SIM unlock my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 phone either :crying: My phone it's rooted. I'll list all the methods I've tried and nothing has helped me so far. Here they are:
I've also followed the SIM Unlocking tutorial, but nothing happens when I press "Menu/Back/Input Code/1", and with this method I can't access Service Mode menu.
Reading and reading, I've found another way to get access to ServiceMode, and it's the following:
Press Menu
Press "Back"
Press Menu
Press "Key Input"
Enter "Q0000" (case-sensitive, those are 4 zeroes, no quotes), then 'Ok'
Then wait about 10 seconds and the Main Menu will appear
Doing this, I've read the following menus has to be accesed to disable the lock:
Select [1] DEBUG SCREEN
Select [8] PHONE CONTROL
Select [6] NETWORK LOCK
Supposedly there has to be an option called "[1] PERSO SHA256 Info" but in my case it appears as "MENU NOT EXIST Current Command is 186" and I don't know what to do next...
I've tried the RegionLock Away app:
I select the Region Unlock option.
The message "It appears the patch was succesfull" appears.
I touch the "Reboot" option but it doesn't reboots by itself. After a manual reboot, the phone it's still locked....
The app recommends do a second reboot, and even so, I'm still SIM locked.............
Someone suggested trying a paid app GalaxSim Unlock which claims to support Galaxy S4, so I gave it a try. But after it ran it's process this message appears: "Your device contains a new locking system which is not supported yet.", so FAIL again
[* ] Finally I've read I have to change my phone using Odin and that I need to be on ME2 (baseband?) but that sounds too risky for me to try, I don't want to ruin my phone!
SOOO.... What can I do? Is there another way to try to SIM unlock this phone? Can somebody help me please?
My phone is rooted and these are the specifications:
Device model: Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500
Baseband: I9500UBUFNA2
Product code: GT-I9500ZWLXTC
Platform: exynos5
ANY help will be appreciated, THANKS IN ADVANCE.
THANKS
"[* ] Finally I've read I have to change my phone using Odin and that I need to be on ME2 (baseband?) but that sounds too risky for me to try, I don't want to ruin my phone!"
That's what you need to do. Nothing risky about it, just revert back to your current (or similair) modem when you are done. Use the region away app on the ME2 modem.
I guess it was so important to him that he had to cross post in the S4 SIM Unlocking thread.

Hi,
If wrongly placed or question I am sorry!
So I got this phone the S4 clone and it works ok. I'm pleassantly suprised by it.
But if I would like to change the rom or firm Odin doesnt see it. I can enter *#1234# nothing happens. It says android 4.2.9 on the phone. Kernel 3.4.5-447903. I have this program called I9500 Quick Flasher and it sees it but i'm a bit scared to brick it. The bootrecovery is chinese and the up-home-power button menu is english.
Is there a way to get the phone to a other or original rom from samsung? Or anybody who could help me into the right direction?
Thanks,

Why would you want to get a clone? I doubt original rom will work, since the hardware might be different.

Flashing any ROM for an Official Samsung i9500 could brick your phone.
This is a completely different device the the Galaxy S4, it may look similar in appearance but that's where similarities end.
Ok thank you. The hardware is different. There is a MTK6589 processor in it but it says it's jellybean. But the android says it is 4.2.9 and that is something I don't know. The reason why I asked is because other phones like mine do connect with odin. I use MTKdroidtools and it sees my phone but not fimiliar with this program or if it is even safe. Still it does work in my country, the sim, programs like whatsapp, games, etc. but im someone who wants to know the inside.

The android version number 4.2.9 is probably fake. But the OS installed is still android. It'll be risky to flash S4 roms.

Hope this helps a bit more. Should have done that in my openingspost. Sorry about that.
Screen resolution stated seems wrong.
Android version seems wrong.
The rest still seems legit, not quite sure if there's anything different since I have i9505 version.
Edit: Are you sure this is korean S4? Isn't it chinese S4 or something? Based on the firmware version.
I has just bought N9005 a few days ago.
But not display enter code area when insert my sim card?
How to unlock with code or do antything?
Nobody care?

If you put your sim in and doesn't ask for code.... Then don't worry just use it. If you need to put different sim in and asks for code. .. That's when you will need the code. If it still doesn't ask for code then probably phone is already unlocked.

I doubt it is carrier-locked, it looks more like region-locked.
Also in this case it might be a problem since for Vietnam (XXV, XEV) the original Samsung version was N9000 (the Exynos one) - and I believe there is no N9005 firmware with a CSC corresponding to XXV or XEV.
You should probably look around for other owners/users in Vietnam.
If you find nothing you should try to insert an EU SIM and see if it works (assuming the N9005 was bought in EU, otherwise a SIM from the country from where it was bought).
In the future when you need help you might see more feedback if you provide more details - for instance your current firmware in the phone , you can see those after *#1234# , also reading and searching around the forums here has never hurt anyone

The software inside your N9005 suggests a Hong-Kong software version (which does not 100% guarantee that it was a Hong-Kong phone in the first place, but nothing does).
I am afraid I have no experience with what happens there - you really need to ask somebody with a N9005 and Vietnam SIM.
Just looked at your video but can't see anything in the status bar. Can you go into about phone and then status to see the service state... If in service or not. Also can you get Internet on the phone

Only way to know for sure is to try it. It doesn't depend on your Baseband etc AFAIK rather the MPN code.

No idea, ascenia posted about it somewhere a few days back, just try region away and see. It won't hurt your phone.

ok I will follow your advise.
This is the first time I'm using a major android phone so I gotta learn how to root through YouTube and then I'll buy the region unlock app.
I guess I will have to reset my phone to make sure that everything works perfect. I don't have anything saved in my phone so I think it won't matter for me to reset.
If possible if you do not mind and if I'm not asking for too much please let me know any app name of YYouTube video which has got the best and easy explanation on how to root the note 3. I find a lot of videos but not sure which is the most recent and best method.

Before you root, have a read around check out about KNOX etc and how it affects you. - Once you have decided if rooting is OK, head over to CF-Autoroot thread here on XDA by Chainfire, then download Odin 3.07 and follow the guides. Safer following XDA guides.

Everywhere else it means manufacturer part number, I would speculate it means same here?
If you're rooted, why not just try it. If you want to see what's locked get es file explorer and go /system/csc
customer.xml has list of network locks, after running region lock away new customer .XML will have no locks, original is backed up in backup file, if you need to restore it.

Hey pete
I'm not rooted.
I'm trying to learn on how to root.
Once rooted I'm gonna install regional lock app.
I think ur phone is frm saudi if I m not mistaken, did u try to keep saudi sim for few days in phone & use for some calls?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
yeah, you need to read about Knox flag and how this could affect you in a future, since there is a good chance rooting will trip Knox flag and it's permanent, no way to reset it yet. Beside delavega there is also Kingo rooting method, much easier, but there were some questions about data security etc. and I'm not sure where it all stands now. My only advice would be read as much as you can and don't rush, you could even brick your phone if you mess up.

Hello boss just now I checked imei no underneath the battery and match it the imei comes on screen by typing *#06# they are different from each other I think imei is corrupted now I tried it with z3x box to repair but it's no support for s5 .

I have an issue with my s5 sm-g900w8 6.0.1 and z3x unlocking. I rooted the phone and flashed the 5.1.1 modem so z3x would unlock without errors. I put in my freedom mobile (used to be WIND) sim card and it was working for a bit. Then I'm not sure why but it stoped working. Tried unlocking again but no go.. tried other Sims and tried wiping reflashing everything but nothing works. It just says unregistered sim but my voicemail and phone number shows up but can't select network or auto select. What can I do? How do I get to that menu where I can change bands and all that stuff? Any help would be much appreciated thanks in advance guys.
-- update --
welp, such a noob move by me.. (FACEPALM) the darn thing was blacklisted! how or why did i not check this before? oh right cuz it worked when i popped in my freedom mobile sim! i made a few calls and send a txt to verify the unlock worked. when i got home and put my friends chatr sim in it didnt work, either sim. just for clarity reasons could someone explain why this happened? did this also happen to you? just flash combo write cert flash stock done
Guys i am creating this thread after searching everywhere but not getting solution about this issue which i am having with Note 4.
