You cant possibly unlock this phone and use it with domestic carriers (well just yet anyways you cant) however you can unlock it and use it with internationals carriers tho. Btw if you wanted to use the s4 with verizon why didnt you just get a verizon s4? Just saying.

galaxy s4 sgh I337 at&t unlock

Hey there, I have a samsung galaxy s4 sgh-i337 locked to at&t.
I bought an unlocking code from an ebay user.
it doesn't unlock my phone, it writes: "unlock request unsuccesful". I tried to use the defreeze code and then again the network code, still nothing.
I was referred to a guide that suppose to show me the "service mode menu", by entering *#0011# . so service mode goes on when i put that number in the dial pad, but then I suppose to do 'menu key'->'back'->'menu key'->'key input'->'1', but after I do that nothing happens, the service mode menu with all the options doesn't pop up, it stays in the same page of the service mode. somewhere down on the ServiceMode page it writes "Service:Limited". what should I do?

Talk with an at&t rep or chat online and indicate that you will be traveling and want to use this phone there and they'll give u a unlock code..

i'm pretty sure that I already have a code, and in some reason it still doesn't work.. I'll try it anyway. write now they're on holiday.
But still, does anyone here know about a way to make that cranky menu show up?

it took me directly to the DEBUG SCREEN menu, but I have only 5 options instead of 6. the important option is missing. option number 6, "phone control". is there any direct way to get to that menu? or to make it show the option?

Someone... Help.. please
no Mega genius here that can solve my problem?

same boat here man, this is a new problem since not everyone has 4.3 yet. Att won't even give me the unlock code since they changed eligibility few months ago to "only off contract or fulfilled contract phones." I've read one person saying the eBay unlock code didnt work on 4.3 either. And the only success i've heard is another post here on XDA saying they unlocked 4.3 using the regionlockaway app, but they apparently Odin flashed 4.2.2, did the regionlockaway while the phone had no sound/wifi etc., then Odin flashed 4.3(locked again), then flashed 4.2.2 odin again, regionlockaway'ed, then odin'ed 4.3 again and the unlock stayed. That sounds ridiculous and is not an exact science.
So i'm done with At&t's phone slavery and switching to T-mobile on a nexus till the Xperia Z1 is out. I thought this was the future.

Take your phone to one of the shops which do unlocking using a box. It is possible to do it.

can you explain a little bit please? I am not aware of that method
how much do you think they'll take?

If you have another $20.50 go to Myhoian's website it's unlockcode247.com it'll take about a full day or over 12 hours usually but not longer than that he's never failed to unlock any of my phones.

I used region unlock. Unlocked my phone, put in a T-Mobile sim and it didn't asked for a code. Bam unlocked.

guys please explain, i'm a noob. what's region unlock? by the way, my phone is a GSM phone.
also, what's unlocking using a box?
and about that unlockcode247 - can they help me if I already got a code from another source?
I am not from the US and I want to use my phone outside of the USA (the phone was bought in the USA and is AT&T locked).

I used Cellunlocker.net and it was done in 24hrs. It did cost $29.99. Since I was on MK2 the only way to get it unlocked for free was through my carrier and they would not unlock.

My carrier said I was qualified to do the unlock. How are these services? Paying that much money on a limb sounds sketchy and most endorsers seem to be part of the sketchiness. Anyone else have experience using the only sites?

Jeez...

I unlocked mine using method 2. You will not have sound until you flash modem back. At least I didn't.
I337 stock, unlocked, rooted

What site offers the cheapest unlocking service?

Anyone?

just flash a firmware with odin yourself for free

It's easy to do, don't pay for that service.... Do it yourself = Free

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?

Or is there a better firmware to put on it?

bump

1. go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
2. grab the stock firmware compatible with your phone
3. flash with odin
:good:
Im not sure what other roms will work on the G900T but me for instance has a G900I but i use a G900F as it works the same.

You're screwed for now, ATT is locked down until they crack it. Same with Verizon.

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

I've used this site before:
http://www.cellunlocker.net
I don't know if it'll work on all carriers in North America, but you can plug in your details on the site to check before you buy a code.
Took about 4 hours to get my code.

[Q] International firmware on AT&T device

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!
Rok

So... nobody tried this yet?

AFAIK, flashing another firmware will not bypass the sim lock.

Are you sure? Too bad.
What if I flash something else? Like a rooted Rom? Or Cyanogen?
I'm not good at this low-level stuff so I really appreciate all the help. :cyclops:

It doesn't matter, I went with TowelRoot +RegionLock Away + UnlockPhoneNetwork.com and it worked. :victory:

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

Work on Tmobile?

Hey Folk,
Will the Sprint variant of the HTC 10 work on tmobile? Thanks in advance!

I am also curious about this!

It will need to be modified, unlocked bootloader, TWRP and S-off. Most likely you won't see a thread for this as the US Unlocked version can work on T-mobile

Hey Schmeggy, can you point me to the modification part? I think all the other parts are straightforward, but don't know what you mean by modified.

Hi bro, i have unlocked my 626s in the past with this seller and so i asked him about my HTC 10 half week ago. He told me that he can but that the data would not work and i accepted for 35.00 (phone will be used overseas and they don't care too much about data) checked my SIM with T-Mobile and yes, voice and messages working great but no data. He said he was working to fix it or something (i don't really care now because phone will be in another country on a few days lol)
Didn't find the listing that i bought but find a similar one, but ask him to see if he can help you.
