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!

this worked for me but I have a i537 AT&T (now unlocked and checked with T-Mobile sim) . Don't know bout international , maybe it says in thread. I got it at playstore. I got phone reflashed and update pushed at Samsung/best buy and unlock is still there.
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.

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.
Hi, i have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 for my mom, its non rooted, 4.4.2, not sure why it suddently lost the IMEI (check with #*06#) and doesnt recognize the sim anymore, i tried google and stuff but i cant access the *#22745927 and *#7284# so that i can recover the IMEI with NV-items_reader_writer :crying: can anyone know how to enable those without root? Thankyou for your help
basic desc in the title.
I'm tring to perform a carrier unlock. I have the proper code for my IMEI but the auto screen just stays endlessly stuck saying Registering Sim network unlock... it doesn't error confirm reject nothing. resetting and toggling airplane mode do nothing. I've tried unlocking from the dial pad but it just says mobile networks not available.
I'm moving from rogers to telus Rogers sim card works fine, anything else seems to not work.
In the setting menu I can see various network providers, but I cannot manually connect to one.
It's been giving me difficulty putting stock rom back on but as I understand it the rooted OS shouldn't be preventing the unlock.
please send help.
Can it be cured with fire?
