I9505 unlocking - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've attempted to sim unlock my galaxy s4, however using the *#0011# method it will not enter service mode after the "key input 1" step. Is there any reason why I cannot access the main menu of the service mode, or is there any alternative? Thanks.

not registered on the network Device Galaxy Note 3

not registered on the network
Device Galaxy Note 3 9005
After downloading the new BTU-N9005XXUBMJ3
I experienced the same error when I sold my Note 2, the buyer got the same error. I had been customizing the Note 2, rooting, flashing custom kernels and so. The root cause was that somehow the efs partition became corrupt and the phone had an invalid IMEI. I was lucky that I made and efs backup after rooting, so I could restore my efs backup and the phone could connect to the network again. I was very happy I made that backup, else the buyer wanted his money back of course! Maybe you can do a search in the Note 3 forum of XDA (Original Android Development), it has an efs backup/restore tool. Hope this solves your problem, good luck!
Hi, before I got my Note 3 I had the Galaxy S4 for 1 week. I got the error everytime I restarted the phone. What I had to do was go into the settings and search for networks and then hit automatic and that made it register again.
Haven't seen it on my Note 3 so far though.

All thanks to you ....When you switch from the network to the GSM phone works without problems and when you return to a wealthy network 4 Lite gives non-registration
Solved with NV Rebuild
Dear All
I got the same problem of no network on my Note 3 SM-G9008V and I have solved by NV Rebuild. Here we go....
1. Open phone dialer, key-in this codes in sequence:
- *#0011#, will open ServiceMode screen,
- then left key, tap on Back,
- left key, tap Key Input, type Q then OK,
- left key, tap Key Input, type 0000 then OK,
- left key, tap Key Input, type 0000 then OK, wait some times to get the Main Menu of ServiceMode
2. Tap on Menu [2] to open UE SETTING&INFO MENU, then tap [1] SETTING
3. On UE SETTING MENU, tap [2] SYSTEM
4. On UE SETTING SYSTEM MENU #1, tap [3] NV REBUILD
5. On NV REBUILD MENU, tap [3] ALL, then reboot your phone by POWER SWITCH and select Restart, confirm with OK
After phone rebooted, I got back normal network
I think this will work for other type, please test and feedback....
WARNING: Please do not play with any menu on Service Mode if you don't understand what you do. You are on YOUR OWN RISK to do so.....

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 Unlock not workin!

Hi! i bought a Galaxy S4 i9500 and i am having trouble unlocking it. it was originally running the stock 4.3 android and i tried entering my sim but instead of prompting me for an unlock code it just says no service emergency calls only. I've tried the *#0011# thing but i cant get past the first step. when i click menu then input and type in 1 it doesnt bring me to the main menu instead it says menu no exist current command 111. i got fed up and installed cyano mod 11 right now but still cant figure out how to unlock it. If anyone could help that would be awesome!

[Q] Unable to access dialer prompts such as *#0228#

So I'm trying to unlock my phone and was attempting to follow the advice of other posts on here but anytime I attempt to use the dialer to access prompts such as *#0228# for the battery it never enters into the menu mode. I've been searching but to be honest I'm not even sure what the official name of those kinds of prompts are. I tried it on other phones, such as a Galaxy S4 and it works perfectly to obtain any information.
Has anybody any information that may be able to help me actually utilize my phone?
Thanks!
Edit: Instead of accessing the menu immediately it does nothing. It will even attempt to call the number (and fail of course) if I press call.

You need to turn on the hidden menus and in order to do that you need root access.

[Q] help Samsung S4S975L - SERVICE MODE - Unlock menu not complete

Please I need help with my S975L Samsung Galaxy S4. I tried everything to sim unlock it but nothing worked.
I read that one method was entering to the serviceMode Menu (*#0011#) and change the PersoSHA256 flag, but the NETWORK LOCK menu only has 2 options:
{1} PersoSHA256 Info and
{2} RAT_FREE_SUPPORITNG ON
I don't have the 3rd point where I can enable or disable the flag.
Is there any way to unhide that option??
Thanks in advance !
I don't think this is possible. Apparently the Straight Talk S4 is well locked. Attempting to change the modem to an older version bricks the unit.
Your only real option is to use Straight Talk for a year then request an unlock from them.
