Unable to unlock phone

Hey Guys,
I searched the thread but couldn't find any answers.
I got a Fido S4 (I337M) and tried unlocking it with the free method which didn't succeed.
I then paid FastGSM and that doesn't work either. Specifically, the client tells me it is unable to establish communication with my phone even though I have all the drivers installed and am able to use MTP with the phone.
The client pauses for a couple of seconds before responding with the error message
USB Debugging is enabled
Any thoughts?

Found solution.
Those guys don't bother telling you that you must have the SIM you wish to unlock in the phone.

Hi,

it costs only 22 bucks and accepts paypal, I was thinking if i pay with paypal I am safer right ?

Did you try it? If so, how did it work?

I would guess it's not, imei's are blocked for whatever reason so unlocking them unofficially is not a good idea as, changing an imei is actually illegal I've heard.

illegal In Some Countries

It is in the UK I know that much.

I was just wondering if this was ok or not so... any of you can recommend me any other sites i can unlock my phone on other carrier :/ ?

If it's just the sim you need unlocking then there are various avenues you can go down, your provider, ebay, some apps, if it's to unlock a blocked IMEI then I can't help you there.

I am about to get my code from this website http://www.guaranteedunlock.com/
It look to have reasonable prices.

Use cellunlocker.net
Worked for my Note 4 and other phones in the past too.

Stuck with Fake Note 4 Wont Connect to Network

So unfortunately my gf got scammed with a fake note4 not realizing there were fakes floating around Shes ok with owning up with her mistake and using the phone for the time being. (I've ordered her a new legit Note4 and should be arriving next week)
The phone seems pretty ok despite the knock off os; I would like to play with it and see how it pars up with the real thing but the damn thing wont register to the network. Every time I try to place a call it says mobile network not available; now it doesnt say not valid or blocked but after some poking around found that the IMEI doesnt match whats printed on the sticker in the back, could this be the issue? I am in Canada and carrier is Fido/Rogers.

Im a lil stumped would appreciate any advice on how I can get this device working? or is this a lost cause? The phone is as Ive read in other threads SW is MOLLY and custom build version is I9228.
Thigns Ive tried:
-factory reset
-checked apn settings
-disable/enable network settings

Using this phone on AT&T without Data Plan

So as far as I'm aware:
If you have an AT&T branded smartphone, or any other that's in their system, and you insert a SIM that doesn't have a data plan, ATT will just add one for you.
(Because it's in their ToS that you need to have one blah blah blah.)
But if it's a non-ATT phone, it's hit or miss on whether they can detect your phone or not, and the risk is that they eventually might.
Now, has anyone that has unlocked their S4 through the methods posted here use their phone on AT&T without a data plan and tell me if they didn't eventually get detected?
I checked my IMEI with AT&T in two ways:
AT&T Unlock Page
As you would guess, it said go to your own carrier to unlock it,

Putting my IMEI in just throws an error and asks to type it in again
I have a friend that uses a flip phone and I told her she could use my S4 since it's just sitting around being used as a TV remote, but she doesn't want to pay for data and I don't want to confuse her by telling her to switch to GoPhone, since her phone is on her parents account and stuff.

Problem with changed IMEI Samsung A20e (SM-A202F/DS)

Hello, I'm new here so please go easy on me
My Samsung A20e (SM-A202F/DS) has got stolen while ago. The cops found the phone in a neighbouring country but it was already tinkered with. After it was returned to me, it had a problem booting. I can't remember the exact error, but I managed to fix the issue by re-flashing the firmware with Odin. Problem is, the phone does not register with my network provider anymore - in other words my SIM card doesn't work with it, I get no telephony or mobile data. After further investigation I discovered that the IMEI of the phone appears to be changed - the ones reported by the About menu does not match the ones printed on the back of the phone itself. Can this be the cause of the problem? Can someone please help?

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's the correct one, model, country and everything. Downloaded it from: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a20e/firmware/SM-A202F/BGL/download/A202FXXS3BUC1/1530187
