Hi
What rom version you have installed? that used to work in the first generation of s4 , 4.2.2 , unless you are in 4.2.2 i do not think it will work

I think you could try these steps:

Old rom boots after flashing

Hi,
I tried some ROM from this website to change my wizard to wm6.
When the RUU finishes at 100procent my device restarts and normally it should be flashed. But mine always restarts the original rom. On the pc it says that the procedure has finished succesfully.
Dont know if this has anything to do with locking, but I used the lokiwiz to unlock my device.
Anyody an idea to solve this?
Grtz

your wizard is still CID locked...
try it again ... follow the instructions ... read carefully the messages when running lokiwiz ... could be misleading sometimes at a first glance ...
I'll give it another try. But the lokiwiz keeps telling me that the device is unlocked. It doesn't even give me an error like you get with the AKU2.
error:itwritedisk-an internal error occurred
So that is why I think that should be ok...
you may want to use the WST tool to check the CID status ... you find it on this forum. don't have the link on hand right now ...

Unlocking problem.. virgin mobile

Hello XDA, recently bought myself a leo. I turn the phone on it displays the loading screen etc, then the inital HTC Sense screen, it then immediatley goes to a page saying "Network is locked, please input unlock code"
Now i've tried to code on my sim, no dice, i've reset the phone to factory and tried it, no luck. I phoned virgin and they said its a faulty device and i should exchange it.. Now being my birthday and im inpaitent i don't wanna wait for them to change it.. is there a way i can flash the ROM or something? Doesn't in need HSPL installed?
Any help would be appricated.
My HD2 on Virgin came totally unlocked (can use any SIM) with standard HTC ROM.
Does sound like yours has a problem.
hmm, weird so theres no way to get around it?

[Q] Remove simlock by flashing kernel?

Hi,
I have lg g2(D802) with Orange simlock and I just wondering that is it possible to remove simlock by flashing kernel or rom?
I have tried to remove it by code but when I enter 2945#*802# and select any option, I get the message that the phone is permanently locked.
No. you need to buy an unlock code.
It's 1.7 - 1.9 $, it's cheap if you ask me.
I have tried that but as I wrote in first post I can't do that because when I enter 2945#*802# and select any option, I get the message that the phone is permanently locked.
Maybe the device is blacklisted or something. Or wrong code has been entered few times. Try other types of unlock or try inserting unsupported sim

I have exactly the same problema. My operator gives me wrong codes and now it say that it is my fault.
So I have my LG g2 802 rooted and I wonder how to unlock it, beacause of the bad operator behaviour (Vodafone) I just want to change my service provider asap, but I just very happy with my current phone.
so, does anybody some new ideas about how to unlock a "permanent blocked" phone?
Thanks in advance

You shouldn't have used that dailer code to "upgrade " that only works for the phone when it is on the Sprint network and its known to take away the unlock. You have to unlock the phone again in order the activate it on your GSM network
