Since your in the vibrant section, I'm going to assume your on t mobile. tmo will give you the codes for free. Also there is an app in the market for sgs unlocking, also free. There are also numerous threads here an how to do it manually, but I'm going to assume that you can't find them because if you had googled how to unlock sgs vibrant you would already know all that I said above.
Beware of angry gingerbread man
I made some research and its call sgs unlocker, but it doesnt do anything, I will keep looking on the forum for more answers, but if you could help me a bit more will be fine , by the way thx for the fast response
Call or chat T-Mobile support and tell them you are traveling out of the country and want an unlock code. They will e-mail it to you.

Have you tried the Galaxy_S unlock by helroz on the market? Works great for me but remember to backup your EFS so you don't lose your IEME number.
The other one is Samsung Unlock Tool and it doesn't work for me.

CANNOT find a damn old 4.1.2 rom so that I can downgrade my Canadian Rogers Samsung S4 to unlock it.
Please help!!
Thanks!
Goto sammobile.com. You'll have to register but it's free. You can get the firmware there.

Hope, not blind. I just looked too. You sure you need 4.1.2. Usually you just need to be on stock firmware. I'm not even sure if the i337m ever came with it

Well I know there has been at least one firmware upgrade, because that upgrade to 4.2.2 allowed me to move apps to my sd card.
BUT with 4.2.2 I cannot unlock my S4. So like I did with S3, I want to downgrade it to unlock.

I'm assuming you want to try one of the free unlock methods? I'd stay away from them. You're only allowed so many attempts, I think it's 5, and then you're screwed and it won't let you unlock.
If you're going to buy an unlock or get it from your carrier then mdj or mg1 firmware will work fine

From What I understand, it can't be unlocked for t-mobile and whatnot. I've been searching around today for a couple hours, and doesn't look like there is a working method anymore
When trying through *#0011#, pressing "1" doesn't bring up a second menu; the menu stays the same.
Unlock codes won't work because device is Region locked (I'm in the US)...
That is what I found while searching around today...
Any advice would help. I can't for the life of me find a thread that fits my description. They're all just general gs4 unlock guides from months ago...
Looking around I couldn't find someone actually post this, so I asked. Sorry if its a repeat?
So have you acquired the unlock code to know they don't work.

Rooting isn't going to make any difference, but give it a try if it makes you feel better.
If you have a ATT phone you want Sim unlocked than the code you get from ATT will work if you want to use it with
T-mobile. (Same US region)
There is an app on playstore that will region unlock the phone but it is not a Sim unlock app.

I did the menu unlock and it was successful for me when I was on MDL.
I'm MF3 now and because I did it before it is permanently Sim unlocked.
Region lock away v1.0 on playstore.if the playstore don't bring it up than Google search it.
sent from a I337 MF3 S4
Yeah, I found out about that one...
It's not a SIM unlock though... So there isn't a way for me to unlock it yet that I've found.
You are rather confusing to me cause the sim and region unlock are the only two things you can unlock on this phone.if you have been talking about unlocking the bootloader than your heading is correct.
" NO UNLOCK FOR S4 "
now even if your bootloader was unlocked it has nothing to do with your sim or region and the ability to use it on a network that's in the same region as your phone currently.

Sorry not trying to sound confusing.
I'm trying to unlock my mf3 Galaxy s4 for t-mobile. in the US. Don't need region unlock. (unless this makes it work on tmobile in the US?)
I've trying unlocking the phone through ATT customer service, but they can't/won't.
That's all I know so far...
U mentioned something about the region.if your phone is the i337 ATT branded/model phone keep calling ATT and lie to them that you need the unlock code for your phone cause you plan on going out of the country on the coolest vacation ever and it is cheaper for you to acquire a foreign sim card and you need the code for the sim to work.
sent from a I337 MF3 S4
I factory unlock phones as kind of a side job and all AT&T servers have changed their unlocking so it's extremely hard if not impossible to get the unlock through AT&T. You can still get a manufacturer unlock but it's pricey.
Ok I'm not understanding this... So if I get Region Unlock from the google play store will it make me be able to use any SIM card inside US?
And also where can I find a manufacture unlock?
And If all else fails is there alternate options?

Its just a region unlock you still have to sim unlock it.
I understand now why its so hard for you to just call ATT for the unlock code cause its not your phone.there is no nifty little trick anymore . someone mentioned a way to mod the system to get the service menu back but it is work.GOOGLE/SEARCH

No, i tried calling att several times. They keep telling me I need to have it on contract for 6 months before I can have it unlocked. I dont have that time...

I think if all else fails, you can just buy the unlock code.
I've been reading the unlock thread and it seems you can get "Unlock your Galaxy S4" by unlockunit from the play store to unlock it.
Haven't tried it personally as my phone is in the mail...but I'm hoping it is a non MF3 and easy to unlock phone.
A lot to hope for, I know

I had no idea it can work that way? I have a G900T. You are saying if I grab the stock firmware that I already have on my phone and flash it, the locked feature is gone?

Screwed in which way? I could still purchase an unlock code for it and use it on ATT. I would like to avoid that if there is another way though.
If your phone is network locked, then flashing a new ROM will not unlock it, as it is the IMEI that is network locked, not the firmware on the phone.
I got my phone from Vodafone UK and unlocked it the next day using a code from www.unlockunit.com. Cost about $25. I did not have to root / flash the phone, as I simply put in a SIM card from a network other than the one my phone is locked to and the phone asked me for an unlock code.
I have no idea if ATT firmware will stop working once you unlock your phone. but I can confirm that the Vodafone UK firmware on my phone is still working fine.
Hope this helps. If so, please hit thanks button
Has anyone found a cheaper price or way to unlock the tmobile Gs5?every place that I have found wants $30.00 plus dollars.any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
I want to install the international firmware on the Note 3 (SM-N900A) to bypass the sim-lock. I'll be getting the firmware from the web page "galaxynote3root".
Does anybody know if that's possible?
The reason I'm doing it is that I want to unlock sim. I know there are sites that sell unlock codes for very little money but they warned me that I need to use the phone at least once in AT&T network first and there's no way I can do it, so...
If anybody knows about a different way, please speak up.
Thank you in advance for your answers!

It is because you have to pay for the unlock code.
