I got an i337m Fido-locked phone, and I have purchased an unlock code for it. However, the unlock code doesn't work and I don't know what to do. I've been trying to get it unlocked and working with AWS Bands for the last 3-4 months with no progress. I'm currently rooted and running danvdh's gpe of 4.4.4. I've read through all the tutorials I could find on here but none of it has worked for me so far. Thanks for any help I can get, this phone has been a huge headache for me and I just want it unlocked and working with AWS Bands.

Wasn't sure where to post this as there wasn't an option for Cricket S4. I am however trying to switch this to Bell so i thought this may be best.
Hello folks, I recently purchased a Samsung S4 from Cricket Wireless. I need to unlock this unit to work on Bell Canada which runs CDMA and GSM technologies. After alot of discussion with Cricket they did end up giving me a 8 digit unlock code. The problem is it runs on CDMA and when I take the Cricket sim out to install the Bell sim it doesn't give me the option to enter an unlock code. I did the dialer option and that didn't work either. All the phone says is invalid sim.Thank you all in advance.
Any luck unlocking S4
HI, I know its been a while since you posted this thread but I just came across it. I am trying to get a Cricket S4 onto the bell network and need to unlock it. Did you ever have any luck unlocking yours? I would greatly appreciate it if you have any advice for me. Thank you very much.
Hello everyone
Im new to this so please work with me.
I have a Rogers Galaxy S4 I337M which is unlocked rooted and flashed to work with AWS bands as I needed it to work with Mobilicity.
I want to put Cyanogenmod 11 on it, however since its a rogers phone do I download the T-mobile version of cyanogenmod or the at&t version? Or will none of these allow me to keep my phone working with AWS bands?
This is the method I used to enable AWS bands : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291589

CM has unified the builds for S4. They are now available under jflte - http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=jflte
?
So will the GS4 still catch the aws frequencies after cyanogenmod is installed or no ?

Not sure what you are asking for. If your phone is unlocked, it should work on any network as long as the bands are compatible. (Ex. AT&T S4 wont work on Verizon or Sprint)
You can downgrade to NB1, but that wont help in terms of using on a different network. If you need to enable AWS, you may be out of luck. There is a method written in the general section, but people has posted that it does not work with 4.4. which is your version of android.
I am wondering if the AWS unlock method still works on 4.4.2? I followed the procedure with QPST and it worked just fine, but I still can't see any other networks (WIND). I read some stuff about the modem not working anymore with the new version but there was a lot of confusion over carriers and phone models and I did not want to flash the wrong file and break my phone. Thanks
Ok so long story short, I bought an unlocked S5 off CL. Turns out its the 900H which means it doesnt have the necessary radio to be able to use 4G/LTE. It also wont locate satellites for gps accurately. I am assuming this is because of only having 3g access???
Anyways, got my hands on a 900AZ (cricket) model, which does support AT&T 4G/LTE (I think). But it is locked and wont work with my sim. I was wondering if I rooted this thing and flashed a stock AT&T rom would that get me around the lock issue? Or am I going to have to just suck it up and pay $40 for an unlock code?
I tried searching but couldnt find an answer to this, thanks for any help.

Sorry but the network unlock doesn't consist on flashing a ROM of the company and Voilà its unlocked. You need a special code to unlock the network. There use to be a method for the Galaxy S - Galaxy S3 (can't remember if S4 was supported) but nothing for the Galaxy S5 yet. I guess for now the ones that I have read that work are coming from unlocking services companies. :crying:
