Hi techmasters im new to xda, i dont want to brick my phone so im reaching out to you guys on how i can downgrade and unlock my galaxy s4. Does Flashing a Stock and unlocked firmware will unlock my phone? The battery performance is very poor so i need a downgrade also. Thanks in advance!

Please post the result of dialling *#1234#
Take a look in General Section
You will find a guide on how to sim unlock your phone
But I think you need to downgrade to 4.2.2
And there is a guide on how to downgrade to 4.2.2 if your phone is i9500

Hi
If is factory unlocked or with IMEI code once is unlocked it stays unlocked....
Ive had the S5 since October and i just got around to rooting the Verizon version and putting safestrap on it i know there is rom for the verizon Galaxy S5 but my question is will there ever be a bootloader unlock method for the verizon and at&t versions of the S5 any thoughts because i dont feel safe flashing a rom on a locked bootloader i had a droid razr m before this phone i had the bootloader unlocked and was running cm11 i just wish i could flash a well know rom on my Galaxy S5
Most likely not. Verizon do sell a dev version of the phone with an unlocked bootloader and it's got CM thanks to albinoman and ktoonsez

if ur not comfortable flashing roms on a locked BL (is safer) than buy a dev ed s5 or another device thats unlocked or just stay stock lol
Hi,
I just got Galaxy S5 900F locked to vodafone uk. I found a tutorial called UNLOCK, flash and root your s5 4.4.2. It was actually comming from this website. I rooted it but it is still locked. I think rooting didn't really unlock my phone(as tutorial said) as it wants me to type the sim code in. Is there any way to unlock it free? If it isn't whats the cheappest way? Thanks
Hi guys, i hav been searching the web on how to unlock the gs5 bootloader but have no luck.

Somebody plz show me a way to unlock the bootloader. My phone is Samsung Galaxy S5 G900W8 running android 6.0.1 build dpd3.
Thanks
