Just wondering if there is anyway to sim unlock the s4 after the latest update???

Recently went through similar ordeal. Seems they took away the menu that allowed it to be unlocked. Luckily, I was able to get the unlock code from AT&T by submitting it online.
On my other s4, I was able to downgrade and unlock as normal. Try looking for note 4 or s5 methods as they may be similar.

Please can someone help me. I bought samsung galaxy note in Italy with the intention of using it in Nigeria. When I came back to Nigeria I inserted my local sim in the phone for the first time only to noticed it is locked. Luckily few days ago I came across the RegionLock Away by chainfire. I bought the app from google store but when I ran the app it says: COULD NO ACQUIRE TOOT ACCESS. ARE YOU ROOTED? How do I resolve this problem? My galaxy note 3 model is: SM-N9005. Thanks.
You have to root your phone. ChainFire made a way to root devices. Read to see if you device is one of the compatible ones.

There was sim unlock for my old trusted i9100. Are there same tools/method for N9005?
Yeah. Just download the RegionAway made by Chainfire from the playstore. Its a paid app but very cheap. It will sim unlock and region unlock your N9005. At least it did for me. You will need to root your phone though to make the application run and do its thing. My N9005 was SIM locked to 3 UK network. After rooting, downloading and running chainfire's app, i am now using my Tmobile UK sim in it. Best of luck and hope this helps. Let me know if i can be of assistance.

Thanks! Very interesting indeed! But I wonder what Chainfire will say about sim unlock. Coz he says "but it may or may not remove the SIM lock". If it removes SIM Lock and Regoin Lock it is miracle app!
And very cheap really! But it is easier for me to donate via paypal.
sim unlock

Hi is this the only way to sim unlock my uk note 3 n9005 so i can change.sim also after i have rooted and used region away to unlock sim can i unroot and will it still be sim unlocked or not thanks
If you are a 3 user I believe they will sim unlock it for free. Most UK providers will offer this service but some may charge .

I'm sure you can carrier unlock your S4 and allow you to use another Sim card. Try searching for it

I think you can carrier unlock for 3G data only. But I think Sprint has to give you the code, and you have to be off contract or paid up on your phone.
If you look around you will see the domestic unlock only rolls when you are on mf9 bootloader and can go back to mdc If you are on 4.4.2 the best you can do is foreign unlock after 90 days on Sprint and then they will unlock it.

I have an AT&T Galaxy S 4, SGH-I337 running Android 4.4.2 and I want to unlock it. I haven't had any luck with doing it my self through the Service Menu, I guess due to KitKat.
My question is If I use Towelroot to root my phone, will I be able to unlock my phone and use on T-Mobile?
Thanks for all the great stuff on your site!
Have you tried this? It's in the general forum

Hello, I just got a s4 and I love it. Where I got it said it is unlocked. Now how can I check to see if it is truly unlocked. Also is there like a easy guide to rooting it?:laugh:
Try a different carriers sim. It's the only way to check if it's unlocked
