Samsung s5 simlock - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have a samsung s5 but unfortunately locked on a1,
how do I cellphone unlock simcards for all?
thank you

I didnt get it. Did u accidently lock ur sim card on it? Like entering a wrong PIN code? If so you can enter its PUK/PUK2 code to unlock.
Or is it locked differently? Like network locking?

no no
phone is locked to austria A1
I want T-mobile sim card but austria reingeben then is network lock

Got it! So basically you want to unlock your phone to any network provider rather than just Austria A1.
Alright so there are two ways.
Installing another firmware for your phone or by entering a code that works. Im not sure about the code for S5 but its better if you download an official firmware for the phone and flash your device. This will work seamlessly and perfect enough to use on any network you desire.
For instance, download the stock firmware for s5 global and update/flash it on ur phone.
I must let you know that it can and will flag the samsung knox. Meaning that your warranty would be void but you will still get official updates and use the phone on any network u desire around the globe.
Plz press the thanks button if it helps

Go to an Service Center which has SEToolBox 3 or credits for x10unlock.com Or you buy credits there.
Setool cant unlock xperia now. Only provider code or x10unlock.com

LOL I thought the solution will be a simple program, or something like HSPL, or a custom bootloader I've a fully h*cked HD2, with gingerbread, so I thought that if I can change entire operating systems then unlocking will be very easy
So if I flash a custom ROM then it will not unlock the phone?
@X10Unlock they give only 10 credits with 1 account... and I have 1 phone...
Yes, I know. 400$....
Look for someone where you live who offers unlocks or in the internet (USB over Internet)

Is it really that easy to unlock the vibrant?

I was told that if i root the phone and then install busybox and Galaxy_S App that my phone would be unlocked? would this work for att and when i go to brazil?
For a while there was galaxy unlock app that worked for me and others (and not for some). It only required root to use and it would spit out your unlock code.

I've used that app on a friends phone who went out of the country. It couldn't find the unlock code, but I used the second option and it patched a folder. It worked great. Unlocked in seconds. VERY EASY.

Just call T-Mobile and ask for a code?
So what's the way to unlock it? Thanks!

You get an unlock code (from t-mobile or hacked) put a foreign sim card (at&t works) reboot phone. It'll ask for code. You put the code in and it's unlocked.
What is the way hacked? The phone has no service atm
yes it is,just follow the instructions carefully
No you need to unlock it ,If you go Brazil or other country means you need to unlock your samsung Vibrant Phone,After unlock it use with any GSM Network Sim card.I haven't used that Apps Unlocking,You can better get the unlock code from the site
Theunlockarena.com/samsung/rs13wp8/ and unlock SAMSUNG VIBRANT.
Get SGS Unlock from the Market. The free one might work (for me it didn't), but the one that is not free got the job done.

I was actually wondering... If I'm network locked and I flashed a new stock ROM, would it remove the network lock? I don't think it will, but just want to confirm and to know the rationale behind all of it. I was thinking of rooting my S4 to get it to downgrade and have the network lock removed, but don't know about all these things. A lot of threads mention rooting for custom firmwares but not rooting in order to remove network lock afterwards.

Flashing any rom will not remove the network lock... but it can brick ur phone if u flashed a rom that is not intended for ur phone, if u want to get it unlocked ur best option for that is call ur current carrier to get the unlock code, it could cost u for the code but thats about the only way besides rooting and trying to unlock it that way after root.

I've unlocked my phone using an unlock code with one of those websites. It's a success. No problems. The problems I encountered recently had to do with the defective battery that came with my S4. What I'm curious to know now is if I can flash a ROM from my country where I got my phone... Just to make it like an unbranded phone. This is because when I boot up my phone, I see my carrier's logo and one of the wallpapers they replaced with their carrier logo as well. It's pretty annoying... So I wonder if I can flash a non-carrier unbranded ROM from my country to my phone. And do ai need to root to do so?

[Q] How Do I SIM unlock?

I have Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M (Fido)
Andriod Version : 4.2.2
Baseband : I337MVLUAMG1
Build : JDQ39.I337MVLUAMG1
How do I unlock the sim? I would like to use Bell sim later on.....
please don't bring up the idea of buying unlock code....
Buy yourself an unlock code and save a lot of headache. Otherwises there's something I think they call The Google, our something like that. I hear you can find all sorts of stuff with it. I'd probably try something like "sim unlock s4 xda"
We have Canadian i377m.
WE ARE FREE TO DO WHAT EVER WE WANT WITH OUR PHONES. It's like having a Google edition
And a simple yes. YOU Can Downgrade To What is the oldest firmware, so you can free unlock

Instructions should be free once an unlock code is purchased!
Anyway, the process is pretty simple.
Get an unlock code and then turn the phone on with a non-accepted SIM card. If the phone is locked, it'll then request the unlock code from there. If any company charges for those instructions, they're ripping people off.

Buy an unlock code. I've tried the free method and it FUBARed my phone. Unlock codes wouldn't work even after trying to undo the free unlock. The only thing that was able to unlock my phone was a paid USB unlock method.
$15 is not that expensive compared to network bricking your S4 with an unreliable free method.
