Hello,
I have updated my au SCL23 S5 to latest October 24 update. I lost sim unlock feature. I found that AU blocked *#9090# code but I used *#0011# code to reach the service mode menu. After doing the same old steps for unlocking, it failed. It says limited service PERSO SHA 250 on. do you have any ideas I can use to unlock it. do you think downgrading can solve that problem. Thanks for your help.
did you find any solutions.........???
not yet, I'm thinking of downgrading my mobile but still I will have the update notification appearing if this succeed. I'll let you know if I get any solution.
i have downgrade the firmware....and enter into service mode...that solved the problem....but in new firmware....i cant fix.......
did u find any solution....???

Hi Guy,
I need some help Sim unlocking my new Samsung Galaxy s5 european edition (SM-G900F). I assumed it would be a similar process to sim unlocking my S3 but i cant find anything which works. I am currently locked to EE and i need it to work with Vodafone.
The only xda thread for it i can find is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717361 but the first step doesnt even work to get into debug service menu via the dialer.
Do any of the old sim unlocker apps still work after people have testest like voodoo sim unlock http://project-voodoo.org/android-apps ?
Could some one help me get my phone sim unlocked ?
note. i still havent rooted the phone as i have read that it needs to be stock for the sim unlock process to work.
Cheers guys

Since you have not rooted, there is no way to launch the secret codes.
If you have rooted, you can use my app Phone INFO ★Samsung★ --> enter the menu 'Secret Codes' to launch the secret codes.

Debug menu, Service main menu, Unlock menu... etc
It allow you unlock only if you do have unlock code.

You didn't search very hard as there are literally dozens, if not hundreds of S5 SIM unlock threads. In short, there is no known free method. The old methods for the S3/S4 do not work on the S5. You can read more here which is just one of many threads on the subject.
You will have to pay a third party vendor (Ebay, et al) to unlock your SIM if your carrier won't provide you with an unlock code. And as you might expect, most carriers will not.

You have to purchase it (online), or it you don't want to pay you can request it from Samsung by following this guide (if you are lucky)
cheers guys,
do you guys know of the best and cheapest unlocking website for the UK ?
samsung sm-g900f unlock with cert free
here try this its work for me
you can also use the srs server at http://www.unlocksamsungonline.nl/unlock-samsung-SM-G900F
it can do sim and region unlock for SM-G900F without root and without trigger the KNOX security
I really dont get it. If any website could create this codes, why is there no option for us to do it by ourselfs. Every phone shop can do this and I bet they dont all ask Samsung for the codes. So HOW do they do it? What software or generator do they use and why dont we use it too?

Hi mate ,
If you used this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
And did not work the only way to unlock is with an unlocking code or with a Z3X type of box no other way yet
You give no useful information at all. If you want help you should give details. You can't say I tried app and it didn't work, you need to give details.
hi guys (and girls
i have Samsung GT-I9500 that kindly ask for sim unlock code.

1. how can i unlock it ?
2 which rom/modem will enable me to operate the service mode menu (on i9500 noti9505)
this is my first thread , and i deeply search this forum before i post it
highly appreciated!
Yhali,
You'll need to downgrade to Android 4.2.2 in order to do this, if you're not already on 4.2.2.
Root using CF-Autoroot.
Install RegionLock Away and run it.
That should remove your SIM lock. Then install the current ROM for your device, twice.

i have tried it with no luck , still get
"SIM network unlock PIN"
i have android 4.2.2 (see attached picture)
Can u please advise ?
RegionLock Away may not work for the 9500. I have a 9505, so I can't give you any insight into what is or isn't happening. If however, it doesn't work, then you may have no choice but to purchase an unlock code. Especially if the Service Menu trick isn't working for you either.
Yup, if the service menu trick isn't working, you will need to purchase an unlock code.

Same problem here. I tried whole different ways including reflashing ROM but didn't work. Then I found Region unlock app by chainfire. It worked like a charm. Also you need to root your mobile first. Rooting method is somewhere in xda. Search it . Hope it helps.

I live in Argentina and I see that the 2 Core Prime G360F for my kids purchased 3 days ago in parís, have the regional SIM block. The Fnac seler dont warned about this.
Now I see that on the lower side of the boxes has a warning on regional SIM lock. The solution of Samsung is to activate a 5 minute call with a European SIM. For me, it is a lote complicated from my country
I'm seeing that an application that unlocks it for Note 3 rooted. Somebody knows if esta apk with The G360F work?

Unlocking your device via Service Mode no works since android 4.3. Buy one code and unlock it by IMEI.

Read the last 10 pages of this thread. All you need is in there.
You need to downgrade your modem to a 4.2.2. modem and then use the method.
