I have sim unlocked my at&t S4. Should I get the OTA 4.3 update from at&t? Go for it or conflicts will occur?
Gratitude :highfive:
The update won't re-lock your phone if that's what your asking.
I currently have my 4.3 note 3 region unlocked and using it on straght talk successfully using the software region unlock app by chain fire.
However, I would like to upgrade the phone to Kit Kat and have the region unlock remain. What are my options as far as software sim unlocking my kit kat note 3 on at&t, is it at all possible? I would imagine the region unlock from chainfire isn't permanent and would disapear after upgrading
I have the SM-N910F on Android 4.4.4 and baseband version N910FXXU1ANJ4. How do I know if this phone is locked or unlocked. Will I be able to flash other firmwares on it? or flash custom ROMs? I Inserted an Iraqi SIM card into it but it didn't work.
It was purchased from sweden
Maybe it had region lock. You'll be needing an European SIM card to make a 5minute outgoing call.
Hey people, I have an issue going on here.
I was going to unlock, but decided to reflash firmware and change the csc from rogers over to bell.
Kies recognizes the phone now as being a 'bell' phone, and have done an update just to confirm it but it still will not accept a bell sim. Every time I have inserted a bell sim it requests the 4 digit unlock code. The sim works just fine in my S3 and another bell S4, so that is not the problem.
All settings in the phone also show it to be 'bell', home screen and all, so the csc did take.
All the modems/firmware on sammobile are multi-csc, as i have tried to just flash the modem alone after I extracted it.
I could care less about being truly carrier free, as I am locked into a bell agreement through work.
Any suggestions on this, or do i have to purchase a code? I assume its locked now so I cannot downgrade to my understanding to a lower modem to use the service menu to unlock.
Thanks for the input.
I've flashed from a Bell 4.4.2 to Telus 5.01 without issue and the phone will remain sim-locked. The only difference I have seen between the Bell, Telus, and Rogers ROM are the carrier apps included with each ROM.
The sim unlock code is 8 digits long.
You should be able to downgrade the i337m's 5.01 stock ROM to a i337m 4.4.2 stock ROM. Then install the 4.2.2 modem, root the phone, run region unlock app, re-flash stock 5.01, and the phone will be sim unlocked. Doing this will trip the knox counter to 1 and void any remaining warranty.
I tried to downgrade, but it didnt take. I will try again. I know there was a discussion on booting the phone and not signing into google then reflash again. Is this needed?
Thanks for the reply.
Well, I got it to work this time. Much appreciated
You tried to flash a stock 4.4.2 rom from sammobile.com? Were there errors in Odin?
Hi I just bought second hand verizon galaxy s7 flat SM-G930V , the sim has been unlocked so I can use any sim card on it, it runs android 6.0.1 , baseband version is G930VVRS4APH1, I want to root it, install xposed and debloat it, my questions are:
1-if I follow this method, does it affect the baseband, I mean will my sim still be unlocked? or do I have to unlock it again?
2-if I upgrade to nougat does it also upgrade the baseband, and will it also relock the sim? if so can I unlock it?
thanks
3-which one should I flash the V version or U version? I mean Verizon fw or Unlocked fw

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I would go with the u firmware also if you want Xposed then you have to be on Android 6.0.1
