No, rooting is not removing the provider's lock.
Use verizon service to have it unlocked LEGALLY, if it was locked due to the lack of payment (but, in this case, most likely you will have to settle the debt, first).
I am terribly sorry but illegal way of unlock cannot be provided because of XDA policies.

I want to know what the best method is for unlocking my Galaxy S4 SGH-1337 MF3 build Currently running on the airvoice network. I do NOT have an AT&T account but should I still give them a call and ask for an unlock code? or use an unlocking service? also from my understanding there is no sim unlock method for the MF3 build currently.
Thanks in advance!

If you pay full price, give them a call and they might give you the code.

First, unlocking the sim card is not related to the version of your phone.
So if you bought it from At&t with full price, some of them they will tell you to wait 90 days before asking for the unlocking code.
If you bought it from someone, ask the previous owner to call them and to ask for the unlocking code. Otherwise, use google, and try your luck.

are you talking about unlocking the phone to works with other carriers? yes you can on any version.
or unlocking the bootloader so you can use other custom roms? is yes, then you can't. only roots.

I'm talking for other carriers. and I tried the *#0011# method and the other one witht the long string of numbers I cant remember but it never goes to the menu to let me choose [1]UMTS.
free unlock method has been known to screw people's phones up. There are several warnings throughout that thread the mention it.
Just go with the options that I mentioned, or use google, such as "Auction website" they do some kind of these service I guess.
Actually, on the AT&T MDL and MDB firmwares you were able to sim unlock it through service menu:

MF3 blocked this, so the only way you can get your phone sim unlocked with the update is using ebay or cellunlocker but at a price.

Yeah that's what I thought the case was. Oh well, back to trying to trade my At&t S4 for the Verizon version. Swappa is such a drag.
I have the International Original N7000 Note. It is unlocked and I have used it on ATT since it came out. I'm rooted and have Rocket ROM on it
Since it was always my phone, I never worried about ATT giving me a hard time about it being Rooted.
But I am thinking of upgrading to the new Note 3 from ATT.
I'm sure ROMs will be developed for it.
What are the pitfalls with ATT if I root the phone? Other than they wouldn't support it if I bricked it.
Will they Brick it with an Update?
Will they detect it is rooted and give me a hard time?
Looks pretty sharp and I can sell my Unlocked International note for some pretty good change still. But I know I'll want to root the phone.
The AT&T boot loader is locked. It will need to be cracked before a custom ROM is possible, and the S4 hasn't been cracked since the original vulnerability was "fixed" .
You may be out of luck with AT&T.

Hmmm, so none of the ATT branded notes could be rooted?
I'll have to look into some other LTE version perhaps.

They may sell the international version, but I don't know if that's unlocked/ rooted. Keep in mind, carrier unlocked isn't the same. e as bootloader unlocked

I see on youtube about Custom ROMs being loaded on ATT Note I and II.
So I'm trying to figure out what you guys are talking about here.

Hi, I purchased a new in box galaxy S5 that the description say is unlocked.
However on the back case it have the AT&T logo not the letters, and if I try to use tether function it goes through the verification process and then I get the: Temporary network problem ....please try again later. pop up window.
I am using it with cricket wireless. completely stock unmodified.
1. Is this normal with unlocked phones?
2. Or it means the phone is not unlocked?
Any advice welcome, thanks.

where did you buy the phone? whats the model number? if its unlocked then you shouldnt have any problems with tehtering, i have an unlocked g900f and i havent seen any verification screen. another thing is maybe ur own network courier doesnt allow tethering

I purchased - Ebay (it is new in box sealed everything).
model SM-G900A
I got it as description mentioned unlocked, as I also own a Note 2 and I did got it rooted and a new ROM and that one no longer goes trough the verification process. same network as the galaxy s5.
I just dont want to mess with this new phone, I might contact the seller for misleading people into and unlocked phone when in fact it seem that is a AT&T phone.
Forgot to mention it does have some At&T apps installed, so would that and the fact that I cant tether make it a locked phone to AT&T?
Thank you.

The issue is that most carriers have their own little tethering app the overwrite the native one with, att does it, and so its trying to verify you but it obviously cant since you arent on their network, you'll have to root and enable native tethering or install a rom with native tethering already included im pretty sure, i dont think theres a way to do it without root. I may be completely wrong though, i do know however that with the att one it caused issues even with att customers, so thats a thing.

Hi,
My brother came back from the States, he'd bought a Galaxy S4 there, and apperantly it's locked to Freedompop (a cell company).
I was wondering if there was a way to get it to work on any company ( 'factory unlocked' if you will).
And whether or not it is a legal process.
Thanks.

There are ways to unlock the phone and use it in other networks.
One of the is to buy the unlock code from the carrier in which it is locked.
Another is to use unlock methods found online. I am not familiar with such methods, so you might have to wait for other people's replies or do some research.

Thanks for the comment I'll wait for more details about unlocking without contacting the carrier.
Is the region away from chain fire not working? It should be possible depending on if it's IMEI locked or not

Hi !
I'm a Canadian that bought an "USA Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950U)". I love it, but I'm confused about a thing : Why is there a folder called "Verizon" ? If my phone is really unlocked, it should not have Verizon applications on it, right ? And the "region" of the phone is VZW (Verizon Wireless)... Is it normal ?
But, I read that Verizon locked phone are "SM-G950V", not "SM-G950U" and have a "Verizon" writing on the back... Could anyone enlighten me ? Thank !
Verizon phones are unlocked, and support both CDMA and GSM. It is possible that the phone was originally a Verizon phone, but it is still completely unlocked. I wouldn't worry about it
Oh great ! But, is it possible to delete the Verizon applications ? Because I don't need them

Of course not. You need root. But say thx to those stupid carriers like verizon who with out sense locked bootloaders.
