[Q] Best way to SIM unlock my SGH-1337 MF3 Phone?

I want to know what the best method is for unlocking my Galaxy S4 SGH-1337 MF3 build Currently running on the airvoice network. I do NOT have an AT&T account but should I still give them a call and ask for an unlock code? or use an unlocking service? also from my understanding there is no sim unlock method for the MF3 build currently.
Thanks in advance!

If you pay full price, give them a call and they might give you the code.

First, unlocking the sim card is not related to the version of your phone.
So if you bought it from At&t with full price, some of them they will tell you to wait 90 days before asking for the unlocking code.
If you bought it from someone, ask the previous owner to call them and to ask for the unlocking code. Otherwise, use google, and try your luck.

are you talking about unlocking the phone to works with other carriers? yes you can on any version.
or unlocking the bootloader so you can use other custom roms? is yes, then you can't. only roots.

I'm talking for other carriers. and I tried the *#0011# method and the other one witht the long string of numbers I cant remember but it never goes to the menu to let me choose [1]UMTS.

free unlock method has been known to screw people's phones up. There are several warnings throughout that thread the mention it.
Just go with the options that I mentioned, or use google, such as "Auction website" they do some kind of these service I guess.

Actually, on the AT&T MDL and MDB firmwares you were able to sim unlock it through service menu:

MF3 blocked this, so the only way you can get your phone sim unlocked with the update is using ebay or cellunlocker but at a price.

Yeah that's what I thought the case was. Oh well, back to trying to trade my At&t S4 for the Verizon version. Swappa is such a drag.

Work on Tmobile?

Hey Folk,
Will the Sprint variant of the HTC 10 work on tmobile? Thanks in advance!

I am also curious about this!

It will need to be modified, unlocked bootloader, TWRP and S-off. Most likely you won't see a thread for this as the US Unlocked version can work on T-mobile

Hey Schmeggy, can you point me to the modification part? I think all the other parts are straightforward, but don't know what you mean by modified.

You can check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-one-m9/general/sim-unlock-thanks-to-gcprokey-t3166761 it is' for the M9 and 6.0 A9. No idea if this works for the 10. I have always had Sprint and really don't know much about SIM Unlocking

Hi bro, i have unlocked my 626s in the past with this seller and so i asked him about my HTC 10 half week ago. He told me that he can but that the data would not work and i accepted for 35.00 (phone will be used overseas and they don't care too much about data) checked my SIM with T-Mobile and yes, voice and messages working great but no data. He said he was working to fix it or something (i don't really care now because phone will be in another country on a few days lol)
Didn't find the listing that i bought but find a similar one, but ask him to see if he can help you.

I am unable to boot into bootloader on ATT model :/

Lol as expected from Sprint and AT&T. Dont get me wrong, i wish they had bootloader unlocked because the more bootloaders unlocked for different carriers, the more chances to duplicate the amount of developments/roma/mosa/kernels etc.... Now, having only Tmobile as the only one with unlocked bootloader, well, devs who use carrier such as AT&T and Sprint might get further away from developments on LG V20. (I'm a LG V20 Tmobile variant owner)

im not to familiar with LG, but the correct way is to power off the device, hold volume down, insert USB cable?
one would think even if locked, it could still enter the bootloader. adb works, and when i reboot recovery, i get to recovery, but when selecting reboot bootloader, the device starts. interestingly enough, it will enter in adb sideload mode

With Google obviously not wanting unlocked handsets or rooted handsets to be common... This kind of thing is going to be the norm. Best to adapt, in the long term. The days of modding are being ended by Google

I would agree if not for the fact that the pixel phones can be unlocked

For the time being. As SafetyNet gets more common, Google will quit making them unlockable.
Granted i preordered my v20 expecting to run it unrooted stock.

Well, it's really only sprint, at&t, and more than likely Verizon. Fastboot mode doesn't even exist on the phone through the production software. T-Mobile is completely unlockable...

So this means no recovery for sprint variants, but is there still a possibility of systemless root using the LG up or bridge programs?

According to twitter there is a root being worked on by chainfire unsure of whether or not it will be for all variants or just unlocked bootloaders

T-Mobile is rooted because of bootloader unlock v.v not the other variants.

He said it was based on jcadduono's work and if jcadduono has a thread on here about getting root shell to push recovery on the TMobile variant after unlocking the bootloader.

time to return it!

Just a thought. A method over use getting around big red in the past . I purchased unlock able version of the the phone I wanted the note 5 . Umocked it rooted it . Then got my carriers Sim card and called to get it activated. It can be a pain but it can be done

I thought since we had the "enable OEM unlock" option like T-Mobile we would be good to go.. smh

LG v20 is unlocked and rooted. Haven't really followed anything else to give more information.

is it in the stores yet to play with?

Good luck with AT&T unlocking their bootloaders. We had AT&T up until recently and it was always a pipe dream to get an unlocked bootloader. Buy an unlocked model or get the TMobile version.

SIM unlock ls977

Is there currently any free public method to unlock this phone? Just got a used one off Craigslist. Supposed to be a Verizon factory unlocked but it's Sprint model number.

Please someone help me

Come on friends please. Tell me im not completely ****ed.

I can't find a paid service to unlock mine. So for now you're probably SOL

I can't say if its legit or not but its there. I read several places that the dirty santa root method with us996 rom will unlock the phone tjis is what i am trying to confirm before risking critical failure again. Much like how bad i failed buying the ****ing thing in the first place.
Hoping even there might be a way to flash us996 rom without rooting or doing anything that has chance to cause a bunch of side effects.

Dirty santa will SIM unlock the phone, but if you're on ZV9 or higher you're stuck SIM locked.

I'd just ignore him. He's probably a scammer. I've messaged him on Facebook and he wanted $40 and had **** English. Just wait for lafsploit.
