Hello guys, thanks to Chainfire, who made the tool RegionLock Away, you can SIM unlock your Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini I9195 with it. I did it just now, my phone was locked on TIM form Italy and I'm now using it on BASE in Belgium, before it said it could not register on the network. First I rooted it with S4Mini RootKit v1.
hi
does the phone remain "unlocked" if you flash other stock rom? (i.e some debranded version)
or you need to stay rooted?
can confirm,
works fine.
to unlock you must be on a stock rom.
flashed than back my nandroid backup cm11 and stayed unlocked
thx to Chainfire :good:

maybe you don't think so, but when i inserted a t-mobile sim, then i should enter a code.
so took back my vodafone sim, ran the app and re-inserted the t-mobile sim.
AND
Voila it works...

I did it folowing your procedure and still the sam a message network lock?
1- You must have a stock and original rom (odexed and flashed with odin) not a custom rom !
2- Root you phone (see arco OP) and install "RegionLock Away" from chainfire, open it and follow instruction and reboot.
(Don't put any sim card at this step)
3- Now Shutdown your phone and put any sim card you want and reboot. That's all !
You can flash any custom rom after this procedure. You will always have your sim unlocked.

Sorry for my mistake but my rom is the original (stock) and is rooted and flashed with odin, do you think I have to run the region lock away
Without the sim inside the phone?
When I did it was with the stock rom already rooted with odin but with the sim inside?
thanks

yes, in the first step don't put your sim card. just install "RegionLock Away". Run it and reboot without sim card again.
shutdown and put what you want:silly:
it's easy

The S4 Mini has number I9195L, that's probably why it doesn't work (as the OP specifically says is for Model I9195).
any luck to unlock I9195L ?

alright, that means, change the firmware to I9195 and try this method.
hopefully, it will work. Did you try that?

Unlocking Samsung Galaxy Mini by code is very easy, it is also safest and non-invasive method of unlocking your phone. To get code for unlock Samsung Galaxy Mini You need to provide IMEI number of Your Samsung. Type on keyboard *#06# or remove battery from Your Samsung Galaxy Mini to check IMEI number. IMEI is written on the information label

I9195L is hard locked so no screen to input the code for unlock?? what to do??

Whom should I provide IMEI to get code for unlock?
Are you talking here about regional lock or SIM-lock?
This doesn't work with my I9195, tried every method that everyone's said so far in this thread and nothing. The phone is bound to an EE (UK) SIM and I'm trying to use an O2 (UK) SIM with it.
hi guys (and girls
i have Samsung GT-I9500 that kindly ask for sim unlock code.
i have seen device can be unlock via service mode (which i can't really get in to , i tried few roms , also rooted but always got menu not exists)
1. how can i unlock it ?
2 which rom/modem will enable me to operate the service mode menu (on i9500 noti9505)
this is my first thread , and i deeply search this forum before i post it
highly appreciated!
Yhali,
You'll need to downgrade to Android 4.2.2 in order to do this, if you're not already on 4.2.2.
Root using CF-Autoroot.
Install RegionLock Away and run it.
That should remove your SIM lock. Then install the current ROM for your device, twice.

i have android 4.2.2 (see attached picture)
Can u please advise ?
RegionLock Away may not work for the 9500. I have a 9505, so I can't give you any insight into what is or isn't happening. If however, it doesn't work, then you may have no choice but to purchase an unlock code. Especially if the Service Menu trick isn't working for you either.
Yup, if the service menu trick isn't working, you will need to purchase an unlock code.

Same problem here. I tried whole different ways including reflashing ROM but didn't work. Then I found Region unlock app by chainfire. It worked like a charm. Also you need to root your mobile first. Rooting method is somewhere in xda. Search it . Hope it helps.

I live in Argentina and I see that the 2 Core Prime G360F for my kids purchased 3 days ago in parís, have the regional SIM block. The Fnac seler dont warned about this.
Now I see that on the lower side of the boxes has a warning on regional SIM lock. The solution of Samsung is to activate a 5 minute call with a European SIM. For me, it is a lote complicated from my country
I'm seeing that an application that unlocks it for Note 3 rooted. Somebody knows if esta apk with The G360F work?

Hello,
why is it not possible to way to sim unlock the Samsung S5 G900f ?
I readed many threads and i found out that there is no option exept paying for my phone AGAIN.
I am verry furious about it and i just wanted to ask is there no developer or somebody who knows android from the bottom to the top who could solve that problem ?
If i would be a developer i would work on that problem till it is solve but until i know evreything about android we probably would have Galaxy S25 ...
Hope for getting an answere asap

Hey,
Have you tried an unlock code provider? It's way cheaper than paying for your phone again, like you said.

Thats what i meant by paying again for my device.
If you unlocked it once, it should still be unlocked, flashing ROMs shouldn't make any difference to the SIM unlock status
hey i got my note 4 (N910P) from Texas and brought it to my home country India so i just read the message but i wanted to confirm that if i flash my sprint note 4 (N910P) with a different country rom or any other rom then will it be causing any problem ? i have unlocked it but i am now facing the issues with the carrier featured applications so it is unlocked and ya of course i will keep the model no. in mind for finding the rom then it will be good to go right if i flash it with the same model no. the country doesn't matter ? also tell me how can i become sure of that it is unlocked
TIA dude
You should probably ask this in the Note 4 forum of XDA...
And no, the country doesn't usually matter as long as you are using a ROM that wasn't edited by a carrier (a lot of ROMs on sammobile, for example).

Well, one simple way is get another active SIM card, insert it and try to call someone. If it works, it's unlocked. If there's an error, it's still carrier-locked. Other option is installing GalaxSim Unlock, and open it - if it offers to unlock your phone, it's still locked, but if it says anything like "lock is not present" or "SIM Lock Status: undefined", it's unlocked.
