[Q] Philz CWM Question - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I have a quick question, I used to have an iphone and it was jailbroken, but then I came to the dark side and got a GS5 (G900A).
I noticed that on Philz thread about CWM for the S5 he said "Notice: ATT and VZW are locked. You must unlock them to be able to flash a recovery" how does one "unlock" it?

no u can not unlock the bootloader for those provider yet atm.

Also this is not the I337 section. I will move you to the correct device as well
If you put a att sim card it will just work so no need for unlocking, but if you put a Rogers sim card then the the phone will ask for a unlock code

Hey maybe you could help. I tried everything. I downlaod the Odin, CF file and root the phone. also try to figure out and unlock my samsung S4, but it still locked and ask for code. I also got the REgionLock away app and it does'nt work. Well it does but at the end my phone still locked by the carrier : BELL Mobility
My mom gave me this phone as a gift and I want to use it with my actual carrier ''FIDO''... I do not want to paid 50$ for that..
Is there any way that i could get a code or unlock the pĥone?
What rom is on the bell phone? Did you downgrade the modem before running regionlockaway?
what is a rom?
What do you mean by rom and downgrading the phone? I got the lollipop version 5. 1. 0.
Model SGH i337m. I tried most everthing including dialing codes (*#0011* follow step by step).. but its not working. Each time i put the sim card from my carrier (Fido) it asked for a code to unlock the phone. Im not an expert in that kind of stuff either but i tried to get my phone unlock whithout paying if i can. Could you helped me? Did you need my IEMI number?

SPH-L720 into SGH-M919

Someone commented about turning their Sprint GS4 into a T-Mobile GS4 running a google edition rom.
i have been searching and cant find anything about this but i remember reading it makes it easier to domestic unlock with tmobile and att since its a tmobile firmware
does this firmware go on the sprint GS4 easily or is their custom firmware about this?
thanks
There is already a discussion about unlocking the SGS4 to work with T-Mobile.
You can do it! Use that search tool.

Question about S5 (T-mobile) and unlocking sim/bootloader/running cm12

First off, sorry for the confusing thread title.
I'm currently running an AT&T Note 3 which has a locked bootloader and I've wanted to run CyanogenMod for a while now. I've ordered a second hand T-Mobile Galaxy S5 because I've heard the bootloader is unlocked and/or unlockable.
Can anyone here clarify how the sim lock/carrier lock works?
Will this require me to purchase an unlock code or will flashing the bootloader and custom firmware automatically unlock the sim? From my research I've read that I still need to unlock the sim, but I've also read that using a different bootloader can unlock it. Kind of confusing.

[Q] Help wit an unlocked att s5

I just have a quick question, I bought and unlocked At&t Galaxy S5, and using it with an T-Molbile sim card as T-mobile is my carrier. My question is if I want to add a custom ROM, do I download a rom for t-mobile or at&t.??
Neither, you download it for the model S5 you have (Mine is G900F)
But chances are that your bootloader is locked anyway

Straight Talk S5

so, my dad has a SM-G903VL and its paid for, been on ST for over a year and they wont provide the unlock code. Its technically not locked, its just that the OS wont allow to switch to GSM only, change PRLs or anything related to carrier switching. All i really want to do is install a custom recovery and a ROM that allows for GSM only. Anyone had any luck rooting this thing? Also, its definitely not the 902
edit: Mods, can you put this in the verizon S5 threads? I mistakenly put it in the sprint thread
