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

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.
Bought a At&t S4. 4.2.2. i1337ucuamf3 (want to use it on tmobile) i purchased codes from cellunlocker
they sent network unlock code. provider code. subprovider code. and Defreeze code.
I put in my tmobile sim and it said sim card/ruim card is locked.
I put in the network unlock code and didnt work any ideas?
Hi! first poster here.
I've just got this phone wich was recently unlocked from TELCEL MEX carrier. The weird thing here is that the phone work flawlessly with any domestic carrier sim cards, but not with my US T-Mobile sim card.
I've test this T-mobile sim card with other unlocked phones (Galaxy S4 i9500 and Alcatel Pop) here in México without problem, but in the S4 above mentioned asks for sim unlock code.
The cell phone is SGH-I337M with KitKat 4.4.2. and firmware CSC code TCE
Thank you very much in advance!
This may be relevant or not.
My previous phone was an HTC Desire S on O2UK.
O2UK give you a free unlock on all contract phones after 6 months and send a code by email to you.
Any time I tried changing sims to a different carrier it asked for the unlock code, except when it was Tesco Mobile UK.
It may be that the original carrier requires you to input the unlock code for anything other than certain providers.
I tried to get an unlock code for my I9505 LTE but they said it was factory unlocked so can't speak about the phone specifically but with the Desire S, also on O2UK, had a similar issue.
I've got the pin code
Thanks for your input, sure it's relevant.
I have the unlock code for the T-mobile sim card, but of course it's not recognized by the phone (or sim card?)
In the other phones tested the process was straight forward, just inserted sim, boot up and voilá.
Went to the Telcel's service center but the person there confirmed that it's unlocked.
I'ven reading about a "Regional Lock" of some Samsung devices, but i realy can tell if this the case.
Anybody else having this kind of issue?
Region locking I don't believe has anything to do with this. When the phone was unlocked, the region locking should also have been removed.
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?

Hi .
I have bought a S8 locked to US Cellular on eBay, clean , not blacklisted and when I try a SIM card from my operator does not ask for unlock pin code and remains without registering on my network.
Does anyone know any website or any method to unlock It?
Many thanks in advance.

Does it have a unlock app in apps drawer or in settings. It may be unlocked. If ure sim works. WhT carrier you on.
Thanks for your answer.
I live in Portugal and I tried 2 different SIM cards. The phone shows in upper left screen the message "SIM blocked". I searched for an unlock app too but I can't find any like in T-Mobile phones I bought in the past.
US Cellular is a CDMA network provider whereas in Portugal you probably have only GSM networks.
I think you should look into this and investigate this issues as well.
Another info: I flashed with Odin with the latest USC official Rom from sammobile. Can be this the cause?
This is 950U version and therefore has the GSM frequencies as well.
Even if it was only cdma it would prompt to insert the network unlock code....
Any help?
WHen I put a sim card it appears a forbidden sign on the top, where I should see the network signal...
