Yea im not using it for CDMA also i just need it for GSM/UMTS since my country need only this..
any idea?
You can't put any other SIM than Sprint.
Only way you can use this phone now anywhere in the world is on CDMA network using PRL and NV. for now GSM is locked and Sprint also had no clue how to unlock.

I believe the CDMA workshop is the tool used to unlock the SIM card.
search for "Sprint Samsung galaxy s4 16 digit password"
it won't take you directly to what you want but it is related and should lead you there.

After you type the code press menu and then choose Back from the menu itself not the hardware back button.. Then menu again and choose input from the menu..
Mine restored just to test and still get Invalid SIM for domestic TMo SIM card

From settings - more networks - mobile networks - network mode choose gsm/umts and you will see the status screen like in the tutorial..
But if you do menu - back - menu - input and type 1 you will get to the umts screen

Hello
I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem. I need unlock phone as I am moving in a few weeks and will need to use a new sim card. I have an unlock code but it is not working and I believe the reason is a while back a tried the free unlock method that has been online for a while and I was able to follow the steps fully (it didn't work to unlock my phone).
Now trying to follow the same steps again, I cannot where I enter *#0011#, choose back from the menu, then key input and enter 1. This used to bring me to the main menu but now it stays on the same page and does not change and I cannot access the main menu.
If somebody knows how to access the main menu a different way or fix this problem I would be very grateful :fingers-crossed:

How to fix samsung s4 thats not accepting network unlock code after free unlock
So I finally got it working. So i'll post this in case it helps some else having this problem.
You need to flash an earlier version of the firmware to allow you to access the main menu in service mode
I went to this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39176955
and downloaded the odin v3.04 program and then the XXUAME2 modem from the list.
Then after installing odin I chose phone, chose the extracted .md5 file from my computer and connected my phone to the computer using the usb.
Turn the phone off then switch it on whilst simultaneously holding the volume down and home button and then use volume up to confirm.
Click start on odin and wait for a few mins until the box at the top changes to pass.
Follow the rest of the steps stated in the forum above
After the flash, follow the instructions in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cY4LcdO2WAE
Restart the phone with a locked sim and try the unlock code now, it should work.

Search on eBay. They have lots of unlock codes that you can use. I would use this one. Pretty cheap and probably unlocks it right away. You can also try searching for cheaper ones too!

Give this a try. You might have to figure out a new phone app dial number for step one as this is just copied and pasted (quite a while ago) from somebody on here i wish i could credit.
Step 1: Launch the Phone app on your Galaxy S4, and dial in: *#0011#
Step 2: Press the Menu button followed by the Back key. Then, hit the Menu button again and select KEY INPUT. Enter 1 and press the OK button to enter ServiceMode.
Step 3: Press Menu one more time and tap back again. This will pull up the Main Menu for ServiceMode. Tap [1] UMTS.
Step 4: Now select [1]DEBUG SCREEN, followed by [6] PHONE CONTROL.
Step 5: From the next screen, pick [6] NETWORK LOCK.
Step 6: You’ll get three options. Hit the one that says [3] PERSO SHA256 OFF.
Step 7: Now, you need to get back to Main Menu. To do this, hit the Menu button followed by the Back key. In Main Menu, now pick [6]COMMON, and then [6] NV REBUILD.
Step 8: The phone will tell you that a Golden Backup exists. Tap [4] Restore Back-up.

Greetings. I achieved my sgs4 unlock sgh-I337 in 4.4.2 but lowering the modem to mdl. but then again I had to flash the stock rom 4.4.2 to return the modem up. but I did going into safe mode with * # 0011 #
(1) *#0011# (found working on AT&T Galaxy S4)
(2)Now select [1] UMTS by tapping on it.
(3)When you get into the UMTS Main Menu, tap on [1] DEBUG SCREEN
(4)This will take you to Debug Screen menu where you have to select [6] PHONE CONTROL
(5)In the Phone Control menu, you will see an option called [6] NETWORK LOCK. Tap on it
(6)In the Network Lock screen, select [3] PERSO SHA256 OFF.
(7)On the next screen tap on SHA256_ENABLED_FLAG[1].
(8)Doing this will show the following message:
MENU NOT EXIST
PRESS BACK KEY
Current Command is 116631
(9)Now tap on the Menu button (left soft key on your phone) and select Back from the menu. (To go back, do not press the Back button of your device.) When you do this, you should see the following lines on the screen:
SHA256_ENABLED_FLAG[0]
SHA256_OFF => Not Change
(10)Ignore the above message and tap on the Menu button again and then select Back.
(11)Now you’ll see the Network Lock menu. Press the Menu button again and select Back. Repeat the Menu> Back action till you return back to the UMTS Main Menu.
(12)Here you will find an option called [6] COMMON. Tap on it.

(14)In the NV Rebuild screen will look like as shown below.
Golden-Backup exist
You can Restore Cal/NV
(15)Tap on [4] Restore Back-up.
(16)Doing this will freeze your T-Mobile/AT&T Galaxy S4 temporarily. The screen will turn Off , followed by the Menu and Back buttons light up and device reboot.
this method worked lowering my modem to MDL, but then I had to flash the stock rom again to raise your version NB1 modem because I found not only the NB1 modem to flash it with odin. good luck and I hope you help
