Hello! Is there any free method to sim unlock my brand new s4 or can somebody recommend a 100% working (and cheap ofc) sim unlocking service?
I dont care about my knox status as i'll use miui later.
Thanks in advance!

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 Devs,
I have a SIM-locked Note 3 purchased in the UK. They told me it's unlocked, but I've not been able to use a SIM from my country with it. I have also used the Chainfire Region unlock app.
Now as you might have guessed my Knox warranty is tripped. I'm not willing to pay any extra amount to unlock it.Honestly, the whole process is making me sick.
So I want to know, is there a way to sort of 'flash' this phone and install everything(firmware) from scratch and remove the SIM network lock restriction?
If you already trip knox you can try a custom rom that have region unlock on it.You can find a lot.From what i see Xnote and Omega rom are the best.
I've searched and tried some of the unlocked guides but none seems to work and to the contrary I've read of posts that just messed up their phones by flashing something. I know you said you don't want to pay anything but at this point a unlock code is the only way to go, I think.
As for flashing everything from scratch, yes you can always flash stock firmware or rom of your choice ( except remove the SIM network lock part ).

Thanks for your response. Is there any trusted service you can refer to me, with which I could pay and get theunlock code?
Or perhaps do you think it would work if I ran a different OS like 'Firefox' or 'Ubuntu Touch'?

I've read of linux running on note 3 but not in depth so not sure if they will work.
I kept reading about Cellunlock.net when in comes to unlock code but I've never use them so check them out or maybe other members here can recommend one to you.
I used this service and had the code within an hour.
My Note 3 is stock unrooted.

That is interesting but a little unclear - was your phone network-locked (to some provider) or was that only for the region-lock? Since I believe all the codes I have seen so far are for network-unlock and NOT for region-lock (even if I have seen 2-3 posts from users that have contacted Samsung and after a few weeks of complaining Samsung gave them a code to region-unlock, but I have no personal experience on that so all must be taken with a grain of salt).
The region unlock from chainfire is not a sim unlock. You will need to unlock it from the networks.

I'm quite sure it's not region-locked, but SIM-locked...if only a custom ROM would bypass the lock, I wouldn't hesitate to flash one on it.

Three lock their mobiles to their network. Never listen to sales staff as they're just after a quick sale. - And no flashing a custom ROM won't bypass the SIM Lock, you'll have to shell out the money to get it unlocked.

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.

There is no free method to unlock the phone unless you can get a code from ATT or ebay.

do you recommend anyone for code?
I would not flash any custom ROMs until you get the phone unlocked as you will need a stock Samsung dialler in order to be prompted to enter the unlock code.
I would just look on ebay to find the cheapest unlocker with great feedback.
You may qualify for a free unlock code from AT&T if the phone is locked to AT&T: https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/
