Anyone?
just flash a firmware with odin yourself for free
It's easy to do, don't pay for that service.... Do it yourself = Free
I had no idea it can work that way? I have a G900T. You are saying if I grab the stock firmware that I already have on my phone and flash it, the locked feature is gone?

Or is there a better firmware to put on it?

1. go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
2. grab the stock firmware compatible with your phone
3. flash with odin
:good:
Im not sure what other roms will work on the G900T but me for instance has a G900I but i use a G900F as it works the same.

You're screwed for now, ATT is locked down until they crack it. Same with Verizon.

Screwed in which way? I could still purchase an unlock code for it and use it on ATT. I would like to avoid that if there is another way though.
If your phone is network locked, then flashing a new ROM will not unlock it, as it is the IMEI that is network locked, not the firmware on the phone.
I got my phone from Vodafone UK and unlocked it the next day using a code from www.unlockunit.com. Cost about $25. I did not have to root / flash the phone, as I simply put in a SIM card from a network other than the one my phone is locked to and the phone asked me for an unlock code.
I have no idea if ATT firmware will stop working once you unlock your phone. but I can confirm that the Vodafone UK firmware on my phone is still working fine.
Hope this helps. If so, please hit thanks button
Has anyone found a cheaper price or way to unlock the tmobile Gs5?every place that I have found wants $30.00 plus dollars.any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I've used this site before:
http://www.cellunlocker.net
I don't know if it'll work on all carriers in North America, but you can plug in your details on the site to check before you buy a code.
Took about 4 hours to get my code.

Yes u can unlock it for free but you are going to risk breaking it described here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285431&page=45
Quoted Text By "scott14719":
Service provider gives a code. The phone asks for the code to be entered when it detects a sim from a different carrier. If the phones owner didn't screw something up via the "free method", the code is taken and the phone is sim unlocked.
The "free method" involves using the service menu to restore a previous version of the phones software (NV memory) that sometimes includes an unlocked modem. It works for some. The problem is, no one seems to know exactly what is on each phones backed up NV memory. Sometimes it just doesn't work (no other damage), sometimes it doesn't work but also caused the carriers unlock code not to work (need to USB unlock at that point), and sometimes it doesn't work and major screws the phone in the process. In this case, people have reported highly diminished signal, or unrecognized sims even with their own original sim card.

Just call your carrier and trek then your traveling overseas and would like the unlock code. In most cases they'll give it to you. For free!
Tried that guide and it did not work! Still get the sim unlock code message. Also the carrier is rogers so it cost $50 to get the unlock code lol

Easiest way to unlock it is to downgrade to 4.2.2 and then run RegionLock Away. Once you're done you can upgrade again and it'll remain unlocked.
I have a 5.0.1 rom, can I downgrade to 4.2.2? also, is that the correct version? I've been looking for unlock codes, but I can only find for the international version.

You can't downgrade to 4.2.2 from 5.01. Flash the 4.2.2 modem, root, run regionlockaway, flash back to 5.01 modem, i747m should be network unlocked.

Hey there, I have a samsung galaxy s4 sgh-i337 locked to at&t.
I bought an unlocking code from an ebay user.
it doesn't unlock my phone, it writes: "unlock request unsuccesful". I tried to use the defreeze code and then again the network code, still nothing.
I was referred to a guide that suppose to show me the "service mode menu", by entering *#0011# . so service mode goes on when i put that number in the dial pad, but then I suppose to do 'menu key'->'back'->'menu key'->'key input'->'1', but after I do that nothing happens, the service mode menu with all the options doesn't pop up, it stays in the same page of the service mode. somewhere down on the ServiceMode page it writes "Service:Limited". what should I do?
Talk with an at&t rep or chat online and indicate that you will be traveling and want to use this phone there and they'll give u a unlock code..

Someone... Help.. please
no Mega genius here that can solve my problem?
same boat here man, this is a new problem since not everyone has 4.3 yet. Att won't even give me the unlock code since they changed eligibility few months ago to "only off contract or fulfilled contract phones." I've read one person saying the eBay unlock code didnt work on 4.3 either. And the only success i've heard is another post here on XDA saying they unlocked 4.3 using the regionlockaway app, but they apparently Odin flashed 4.2.2, did the regionlockaway while the phone had no sound/wifi etc., then Odin flashed 4.3(locked again), then flashed 4.2.2 odin again, regionlockaway'ed, then odin'ed 4.3 again and the unlock stayed. That sounds ridiculous and is not an exact science.
So i'm done with At&t's phone slavery and switching to T-mobile on a nexus till the Xperia Z1 is out. I thought this was the future.

I337 stock, unlocked, rooted
Hi,
I want to install the international firmware on the Note 3 (SM-N900A) to bypass the sim-lock. I'll be getting the firmware from the web page "galaxynote3root".
Does anybody know if that's possible?
The reason I'm doing it is that I want to unlock sim. I know there are sites that sell unlock codes for very little money but they warned me that I need to use the phone at least once in AT&T network first and there's no way I can do it, so...
If anybody knows about a different way, please speak up.
Thank you in advance for your answers!

Bad news, there is no any Custom ROM for Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
I will work around then posting results.
Hey guyz, Calling Sprint and asking them to unlock the phone for international use (your going on vacation to Europe ) is an easy way to do it.
If you can get Galaxy Tools to work for you it will also unlock your phone for international use.
I've read if your phone is post Feb 15 2015 and you own it outright it can be unlocked for US use... I don't know this for a fact so you would need to do your research... Or just call Sprint and ask for the policy details.
Hope this helps spme...
Thx!

If you want to upgrade it to Lollipop, you must install stock ROM Lollipop via ODIN. This method won't relock after upgrade ROM. Tested, confirmed

I would not flash any custom ROMs until you get the phone unlocked as you will need a stock Samsung dialler in order to be prompted to enter the unlock code.
