Hi Samsung Galaxy S i9000 im on t mobile uk, i heard before i flash new firmware i need sim unlocked before use.
the uk models are not locked
thats strange because i put o2 sim card in my phone and it ask for simlock code
where did you buy the phon from?
online or in Orange kiosks/stores ?
T-mobile shop
ohhhhhhhh i see now, it seems like T mobile locked their releases.
keep in mind, those are not the same models as the USA Tmobiles
so i cant flash new firmware from samsung.firmware.com
yes you can flash, but the flash will not unlock the phone
you don't need to unlock the phone to flash a new firmware
How to unlock the Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-R970
I bough this phone online thinking that i will unlock and keep using on different carriers even outside the US (GSM)
I have done a lot of researches online and i cannot find any solution. The imei is only 14 Digits and almost all online unlocking services doesn't have this model.
The usually codes like *#0011#, *#27663368378# they doesn't work at all.
I have tried to go to unlock stores or guys who knows to unlock phones and he said that this phone cannot be unlocked.
phone has a sim card slot so it should be CDMA&GSM
When i insert a different sim card provider it says Invalid Sim Card so i cannot enter any unlock code
ANY IDEA or i will lose 500$ for bad phone
Uscc is not a gsm phone the sim card slot is used for thw 4g service the phone itself is cdma

Samsung gs4 sch-970c (cricket)
Samsung has told me this phone will work either gsm or cdma. Cdma is the way cricket first sold it. It cannot be unlocked. It is cdma. It has to be flashed to a new carrier after it is rooted. The sim is locked via software. Not many codes and all the unlock codes you read about are for gsm. The ##366633# code you mention gets you to a disable or enable developer mode.
i also have the same issue. Not resolved yet. but I did find out this that might help: if i pull up a website that checks the MEID number it gives me the whole description of my phone plus an extra digit on the IMEI number. I wonder if this is why third party unlock sites cant help me
Who has unlocked cricket sch-r970c?
Same problem. Cricket said they cannot find the unlock code if the phone was never activated. So this was never activated.
I have rooted it to OptimizedCM-12-1-20151130. Is it now unlocked?
OR, who has successfully flashed a custom ROM to unlock the software lock on it?
The struggle continues...
I just repaired my USC s4 LCD digitizer and now that I am no longer a USC customer wanted to unlock it so I did some checking, if you go to US cellular they will unlock the phone for you, I got my unlock code, but they said they couldn't complete the process if the phone was rooted (Which mine is), you would have to reinstall the USC original firmware, or the latest firmware, to get it to unlock, then root it. I am doing some research now to find out if there is indeed an alternative to unlock a rooted phone...
I just left US CELLULAR where I was told nothing below the s5 could be unlocked,and the only suggestion from any one employed there was to call customer service.
you try RegionLockapp ???
I unlocked my t mobile s4 with it, i had to flash to a earlier firmware, then root, then use RegionLockapp, then re-flash whatever rom you want.

Region lock away only removes the blacklist from select firmwares to allow people to use their ALREADY UNLOCKED PHONES to be used worldwide.
In your case you have an AT&T locked device. You'll need a SIM unlock.
Need your help
is there any way to sim unlock my phone.? Note 3 sm-n900a
I have a sprint samsung galaxy s4 the l720t version and im wanting to unlock the sim port to use with a verizon sim card because i recently ported my number from sprint to verizon. is there a way to do this without having to call sprint to get the sim unlock code?
There is no Sim unlock for the triband version of the Sprint GS4. And plus Sprint would not unlock the device for domestic unlock only international.

Hi there,
I have purchased a rooted Note 3 N900A. I am moving to the UK from Canada and I plan on using this phone there. I have heard that by unlocking it in Canada does not mean it will work with a EU or UK SIM card. Is there anyway that I can unlock this phone so I am able to use it under a UK carrier?
Thank you!
Try region lock away
