[Q] sim unlock - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I have a sprint samsung galaxy s4 the l720t version and im wanting to unlock the sim port to use with a verizon sim card because i recently ported my number from sprint to verizon. is there a way to do this without having to call sprint to get the sim unlock code?

There is no Sim unlock for the triband version of the Sprint GS4. And plus Sprint would not unlock the device for domestic unlock only international.

Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 AT&T Online Unlock Code does not work, Help!

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.

[Q] How to unlock Galaxy S4 SCH-R70 US Cellular

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.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but that's the Sprint version. That version cannot be GSM unlocked (As far as I know...), so you'll have to use it on CDMA in the mean time.

Are you sure because I've went to a sim unlock website and they said that verizon cannot be sim unlocked with a code. But other carrier models can.
Yes it can't be unlocked because it is already unlocked from Verizon

[Q] Sprint Galaxy s5 Unlock Help

Hello, I am rather new here. I am trying to sim unlock m Galaxy S5 (sprint) that I bought on craigslist. I have the unlock code from Sprint and a Tmobile sim card but when I insert the tmobile sim it doesn't ask for the unlock code, instead just displaying "invalid sim". This is an unmodified phone, not rooted or anything, a stock SM-G900P. Thank you for your help.

Common scam from Sprint customer service... they gave you the SPC code for that device. it does not SIM unlock your device. To unlock your device, install the Sprint Samsung Unlocker APK. This will allow your unit to work overseas only, not in the USA. SSU.apk link?
