I used this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621279) for update my S4. And now i can't unlockt my S4. Can you give a hand?
I searched for it but did found. It's my third day without my cell.
I can: Root and install Safestrap, with it i dont have problem.
I try, but did not work: - Codes like *#27663368378#, *#0011#, *#197328640#*.
- RegionLockAway
- Change de modem to MF3,MDL.
Model: SGH-I337 (AT&T)
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband version: MK2
I buy this S4 in EUA and now i need use in Brazil. :/
I have an AT&T S4 with MDL baseband that I bought a year ago.
I rooted the phone after I received it.
After the root I tried free sim unlock methods that posted on the net and none of them work for me.
Finally I bought the code (I think it cost around $30 and I had to provide the IMEI number of my phone).
It may or may not answer your question but I just want you to know what did work for me.

Kernel 3.4.0-431985
build number: JDQ39.I9505XXUAMDE

Please take your concerns to the SGS4 Forum (search for s 4, with a space in between). You have the regular s4, so you're gonna find a thread there with info you need.
now let us enjoy our s4 active forum, or go get yourself an s4 Active and maybe you'll understand.
- Good Day Sir!
haha... yay we have our own forum now .
Somebody did not take that left turn at Alberqurque!
There are many carriers and models of the S4. make sure you are in the correct forum to avoid creating a $700 paperweight

Hi all, good evening to all.
Need to fix my issue as soon as possible because need to unlock the phone and use it out of country. My AT&T Galaxy S4 (SGH i337) on Android Verion 4.2.2, Baseband Verison i337 ucuamf3, Build # JDQ39.i337 ucuamf3, Kernel Version i337 ucuamf3.
Spoke to AT&T customer service for few times regarding on the unlock code for the phone, confirmed i have the correct unlock code for the phone,and am had tried 6 times by using the same code was provided by AT&T, unfortunately every time i tried keep saying invalid number.
The phone was flashed one time by myself but can't remember which method i used but was found in this site somewhere.
Today went to AT&T store, a very nice sale person told me because the phone was unable to get unlock because it was flashed, he can tell when the phone reboot itself it has a "unlock lock simple" and "custom" word on the screen. He told me the only way to have the phone unlock is have the phone flash back to original by using ODIN 3.0.7 and ODIN Flash of MF3.
Can anyone please tell me above is right programs to have my Galaxy S4 flash back to original? If they are the right programs, where i can get them and step by step instructions to flash my phone.
Need help badly, thanks in advance

You need to know way more information than can be posted in a single reply. The best thing for you to do is read the "pinned" threads in the general and Q & A sections. Those threads will provide you with the information you need to know about your phone and answer the questions you have. If you try to rush things, you will end up with an unusable phone. Good luck.
Hi, i have some questions about my I9500, currently running stock Android 4.2.2 with the possibility of upgrading it to 4.3 via OTA. No Root.
1) I would like to sim unlock it, so i read lots of threads and i am really confused right now. If I try the method in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683 i get the following error, 'MENU NOT EXIST Current Command is 111'. I think that thats because i have an upgraded version of the modem so what should i do?
2)I am planning to root my phone but i would like to upgrade my phone to 4.3, so what about Knox and root counters and all that stuff? Every thread about this is related to the I9505 variant.
I am really a noob
Thank you!!
Anyone???
Any Luck
I have the same problem Gt-9500 region locked and UMTS Limited so apparently service model unlock method doesn't work for me, the phone is korea manufactured bought in Colombia, any luck with rooting the phone and using the region unlock apk?? Help needed desperately
Having the same problem with I9500 from Argentina. I was able to root, install TWRP, remove Knox, but not sim unlock.
Probably using a custom rom will unlock the sim. I've done this in the past with Movistar Samsung Tab2 GT-5100 and GT-3100. But for my s4 I prefer keeping default rom (for the moment).
Hay there, guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, which is AT&T branded called i337 which is running 4.4.4 (i337UCUFNJ4)
I have bought it in a used mobile shop here in Pakistan and have tried it with many prepaid SIMs like ufone, Jazz, Zong and Telenor
All SIMs are working fine and don't ask for any SIM authorisation or something like my Verizon i545 used to ask for and gave my SIM
verification error all the time and a Question ? mark was always on the top of my screen.
So what i want now is to install Lollipop on my device as every ROM enthusiast may want.
I know the lollipop has not been made available for my device till now but i have read here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/install-i9505-tw-5-0-i337m-t3056176
and i know that i9505 and i337 are very very same in the hardware build so i think it is right to say that we can install i9505's firmware on it.
SO if any guru/dev having been working on it can please show me a way.

Not possible at this moment.
I've just bought a used N9005 and I've used it a little to check all is well and now I want to root it and unlock the sim.
It appears that since the phone was updated to 4.4.2 I can no longer use Chainfire's Regionlockaway app. I've spent a couple of hours searching and I can't seem to find any working options to remove the sim lock. It's currently locked to EE. I've put in a T-Mobile sim and everything works fine but I'm using the 3 network and it won't work. I looked on ebay and the codes are around £16 ($25)!
It's currently running N9005XXUGNG1 and everything seems to be stock.
In the meantime I'm going to have a look into the best (and safest - had some issues with the rooting process on both my HD2 and S3 a few years back!) way of rooting it. Just out of interest, should I hold off rooting it until after I've unlocked the sim? (I can't think of any reason why that would be an issue)
By the way, this is my first post on the Note 3 forum after moving up from the S3, so please be gentle!
Okay, so I thought about downgrading to 4.3 but then that seems to be scuppered by the latest bootloader not letting you use Odin to go back, but there is a workaround that could enable me to go back to Jellybean - could I use chainfire's app then??
