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

Hi,
I have Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T version, bought unlock code from http://myunlockedphone.com/ It said unlock successful, but does not work.
I tried Simple Mobile Sim Card and only emergency calls. What can be wrong with it? Also I could not do free unlock as there is not UMTS in Service Mode.

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.
Hi! first poster here.
I've just got this phone wich was recently unlocked from TELCEL MEX carrier. The weird thing here is that the phone work flawlessly with any domestic carrier sim cards, but not with my US T-Mobile sim card.
I've test this T-mobile sim card with other unlocked phones (Galaxy S4 i9500 and Alcatel Pop) here in México without problem, but in the S4 above mentioned asks for sim unlock code.
The cell phone is SGH-I337M with KitKat 4.4.2. and firmware CSC code TCE
Thank you very much in advance!
This may be relevant or not.
My previous phone was an HTC Desire S on O2UK.
O2UK give you a free unlock on all contract phones after 6 months and send a code by email to you.
Any time I tried changing sims to a different carrier it asked for the unlock code, except when it was Tesco Mobile UK.
It may be that the original carrier requires you to input the unlock code for anything other than certain providers.
I tried to get an unlock code for my I9505 LTE but they said it was factory unlocked so can't speak about the phone specifically but with the Desire S, also on O2UK, had a similar issue.
I've got the pin code
Thanks for your input, sure it's relevant.
I have the unlock code for the T-mobile sim card, but of course it's not recognized by the phone (or sim card?)
In the other phones tested the process was straight forward, just inserted sim, boot up and voilá.
Went to the Telcel's service center but the person there confirmed that it's unlocked.
I'ven reading about a "Regional Lock" of some Samsung devices, but i realy can tell if this the case.
Anybody else having this kind of issue?
Region locking I don't believe has anything to do with this. When the phone was unlocked, the region locking should also have been removed.
Is there a FREE way to unlocked the at&t version of the S7 edge? The phone is still financed but I want to be able to unlock it and avoid it being blacklisted.
Please, if anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it!
No. Pay $14 and you get it unlocked.

My experience :
I unlocked my device from a website ( simunlock - 18$ ) and placed a european carrier sim card. Everything worked , the phone worked as described.
Then i decided to remove AT&T software and instal the U version , didnt want to use all the bloatware and carrier specific stuff. When i place my sim card to the new U phone i think my phone locked to the new carrier. Will try tonight with a different sim card and will write back.
My thoughts after all are that if we instal U firmware on AT&T Phone i think that will unlock the phone and then lock it to the new carrier
After all this all might be just nonsence , so i'll test it tonight.
Out of the box setup:
Insert the SIM card before you set up the customer’s device for the first time.
Samsung Galaxy S7 edge | S7 locks to the carrier of the first SIM that is inserted by resetting and installing carrier software. If you set up the device and then insert the SIM you will have to set up the device again.

My phone was paid in the full the day I bought it. Called AT&T and they unlocked it for free since I own it free and clear.

I believe the unlock is tied to the imei number. Not sure. It should be unlocked permanently no matter what fw is on it.
For my own clarification you're talking about carrier unlocking and not unlocking the boot loader right?
I received at&t S7 phone at work few month ago, I have never put in the sim card into the phone, now I want to sim unlock to use with Tmobile network, try to unlock with code purchase online but they can't find IMEI code... is there other way to sim unlock ,
Thanks
I recently bought an unlocked sm-g930a. Do you know if updating with the new at&t 7.0 firmware will lock the sim to at&t again?
Best Regards
