Hi mate ,
Root has nothing to do with SIM unlock , to sim unlock you need a code, in the old days used to be possible to do it without the code, see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
Not possible anymore , as far as i know , there ara apps that in some model can do it , but you have to pay
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.galaxsimunlock&hl=en
It does not work in all models ...and more important firmware versions
Hi. It does not work in any way.

You can find a lot of offers by Internet for unlock your device. One of them -> HERE
Hi,
just wanted to ask if there isn't any possibility to remove the simlock without purchasing a unlock code? I tried to use RegionAway from Chainfire and it didnt worked. Would be nice if you could help me.
Thanks
If your variant of the S4 wasn't available in mid-2013, you have to ask your carrier for an unlock code, or you have to buy one. This is because the later variants, such as the I9506 and I9515, do not have a ROM sufficiently dated to be able to do the task.

Hi, I have a samsung s4 9505. as it's a spare I decided to play arOundle with the firmware so I installed the latest stock one. Its now locked to EE. Is there any firmware / Rom that I can install without it being tied to ee. If so , where can I download it from. Do any of you guys have one. I am uk based. I have tried the unlock method that I found on the net. By keying in *#0011# but I can't get the service menu up to change it. I had a insurance claim on my other phone and that give you the choice to use whoever you want. Is there a way of cloning that one and putting it onto my s4. There both S4 9505.
Thanks
You need to downgrade your modem or possibly the entire ROM to an Android 4.2.2 version before the service mode exploit or RegionLock Away will work. Once you do that and unlock the S4, download this ROM and install it. Then you should be good to go.
Thank you for the reply, can you link me to the downgrade the rom to andriod 4.4.2 , I'm not that techy so please be gentle . Lol

I tell ya my opinion. The best you can do is unlock your device by IMEI buying a simple code coz downgrading is always one big risk.
I have tried 2 online unlocking company's but both said they can't generate the code.

I have Locked S6 Edge from Sprint..I want to unlock
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge from Sprint and it is Locked to their carrier. But Since i will be using it outside USA i was hoping if this method can unlock it and so i can use any other SIM international. Please point me in the right direction.
Is this just international unlock or domestic?

I'm not sure. I will receive Sprint S6 next some days. I will update after trying this. We will know that soon.
i get the unfortunately ssu.apk has stopped working , any way around this ?
A better way and one that worked is to use the GalaxyTools apk

worked brilliant and sure shot. v3.18 works on lollipop.

Bad news, there is no any Custom ROM for Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
I will work around then posting results.
Hey guyz, Calling Sprint and asking them to unlock the phone for international use (your going on vacation to Europe ) is an easy way to do it.
If you can get Galaxy Tools to work for you it will also unlock your phone for international use.
I've read if your phone is post Feb 15 2015 and you own it outright it can be unlocked for US use... I don't know this for a fact so you would need to do your research... Or just call Sprint and ask for the policy details.
Hope this helps spme...
Thx!

Hello! If I understand it correctly, after I unlock it, I wouldn't be able to upgrade it.to Lollipop anymore? Am I right? Asking, because after the upgrade it will be locked again.

If you want to upgrade it to Lollipop, you must install stock ROM Lollipop via ODIN. This method won't relock after upgrade ROM. Tested, confirmed

How do you unlock with gt tools
Another solution for this is calling sprint and having them remotely update you prl. The now have free texting and data in some contries i called and had it enabled. Phone# 18552248796 and asked them about the free international roaming. No root required and also works on tw roms.
SSU does not work me
Hi , I'm new to the forum , try to unlock my Note4 and install a customroom and SSU does not work me .
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
I tried it with GT but it asks for a control key code. I have no idea what it is...
Note: This applies to the Chinese version. It might also apply to the international version, but since I don't have an international Mate 9, I can't be sure. I just got my unlock code from Huawei the very hard way, so hopefully this guide will make it a little easier for everyone.
UPDATE: Because Chinese text is not displaying correctly in XDA, please see here for the tutorial:
http://pastebin.com/RYSvQq21
Thanks button presses are always welcome. Donations are even more welcome. I've spent tons of time working on this phone! PM me if you want to send a few bucks my way.
AGAIN, THIS APPLIES TO THE CHINESE VERSION (MHA-AL00) APPARENTLY IF YOU HAVE THE MHA-L29 YOU WILL BE MORE SUCCESSFUL CONTACTING HUAWEI EUROPE
Just running through the process now - Thank you for all your help, you are a star.
I sent an email to get my code to unlock the bootloader, now I'm waiting. Thanks to you

Does unlock the bootloader with a Huawei official code cancel the warranty of the phone?

No harm in trying.
So, please, I hope to hear more reports. I REALLY hope that someone with MHA-L29C900 or MHA-L29C432 can get their codes soon, and help with the oeminfo collection.
@duraaraa
can you please update the title of the thread to mention this is for the L00 as some people sometimes don't read well the first post lol.
As for the L29 it's much faster apparently, we just need to call Huawei in the country where you bought the phone, then they will send it to you in 3-4 days.
I have a friend who asked for it yesterday, an got it today. I will be calling the today again just in case to be sure to get it.
Thanks !

I sent him your message, he is also a dev. His name is @Tkkg1994 (superman rom, kernel etc.. on S7 and Hydra Rom & kernel on N7) you can also contact him on telegram with @Tkkg1994. Most probably he is under the radar trying to work on it as we speak.

Hi all,
I receive a lot of private messages about root for Nougat from this website:
http://www.androidinfotech.com/2017/06/root-sony-xperia-xa-ultra-nougat.html
DON'T CLIC ON IT, IT'S A CLICBAIT!
I never released anything for Nougat so please don't ask me why it doesn't work, it's only a scam to win money from ads.
If you can't find my work on Xda you will not find it anywhere.

Hi, technically root is possible, I have it but not released to the public. Why? Because nobody supported my work and as you can see my root guide have only 29 thanks. You will have to wait for a release from an other user or maybe if my guide reaches 100 thanks (don't count on it).
Damn...
I had TA dumped the day I got it and I am ready to root it.
Well, I have to return it because there no root on 7

DRM fix with TA dump doesn't work on Nougat, bootloop at Sony logo (tested on XA Ultra)
The only good news it that SafetyNet is OK with Magisk Manager app v5.0.4 and zip v13.1 on Nougat.

I'm not nervous but politeness is a minimum when someone spend some time for you, it's not normal to ask for any thank. I talk about my root guide (and root files). I was silly to think this, now I learned a good lesson: work for yourself and you will not have to wait for any thank.

Me ? I never said to go back to 6.0. Maybe it's your fault because you forgot to exclude TA parts of the firmware or you didn't used the fsc script or you used an old version of Flashtool? I downgraded/flashed my devices many times and never got any problems.

Agreed. I rolled back to 6.0 2 times without problems. Btw. I have a spare Z1 and I accidentally flashed those .ta files but they did no harm. I think they are useless even when flashed.

I successfully flashed to 6.0 (.160), but after I flashed your kernel from dev section and it has bootloop problem (from either rootpack or individual). Should I flash to earlier version? My choice is
Customized LAM (.182, 7.0)
Customized US (.182, 7.0)
Customized Peru (.160, 6.0)
Service Exchange Unit (.111, 6.0)
Please continue your work, and I always give thanks once I found it's working.

I sucessfully flashed to Service Exchange Unit (.111, 6.0) and everything worked as it's supposed to be, and rooted with SuperSU (but I will move to Magisk in the future)

You quoted wrong person. If you flash an older kernel over a new firmware, you get bootloop. I had that too.
I really wish I could do such coding to compile both boot and recovery because XA Ultra is really awesome, but you have to catch up with version.
