[Q] Unlock Help! Samsung S4 SGHI337 MF3 on ATT

Hi,
My current phone Samsung S4 SGHI1337 with software version ending MF3 is not eligible for unlock until the contract expires with AT&T. I was told that this phone with the IMEI number can be unlocked but I have to make sure once it's unlocked, AT&T will still service this unlocked phone.
I don't know what this all means. I need to take this phone with me abroad. I don't want to pay for expensive international roaming with a locked phone.
Also, has anyone used cellunlocker with positive experience?
Thank you.

I have used them, and it worked great on my i337m here in Canada. 25 bucks, got the code a couple hours later, threw it in with a non-Rogers SIM, and boom, it worked. HOWEVER, I am using the i337m from Canada, not the i337 from AT&T, so YMMV./

I unlocked my i337 by flashing the MDL modem file using the instructions for the dial codes then flashing current build modem back worked and did not trip knox

Thanks...but technically challenged.

Thank you so much. Yours truly here has turned brain dead looking at the steps. I don't even have a card reader..... I am afraid to try this.. I probably end up damaging my phone, LOL...

Have you tried regionlock away available through play store some people have luck with that but you need to be rooted

No, I have not. Not sure how to do that either. I read some of the posts here, but still have not a clear clue. If you could point me to a more step by step post, I'd very much appreciate it. :cyclops::cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:
FYI - my current phone does not have international roaming with AT&T. I have it disabled. Would this matter when it comes to regionlock? Can you region unlock EU Zone? I just want to be able to take the phone with me to Europe and insert the local SIM so that I don't get outrageous charge on international roaming. I do text a lot while abroad.

More Confused Than Ever
I am the OP in this thread. I am more confused than ever.
I just used the code *#12580*369# and found that the RF Cal is 20131114 Date of Manufacture
I then used *#1234# and found out that all the AP,CP,CS ended with MK2. But on the phone box, the S/W version ended in MF3. So I don't know if I have MF3 or MK2 firmware version.
When I use the code *#197328640#. I cannot see the #6 Network Unlock screen. So I guess it's hidden from me.
Sorry for all these questions. I am a newbie at this.

Looks like you have mk2 firmware. Your phone came with mf3 but you must have taken an ota update to mk2. That's pretty normal.

[Q] Cash reward!! For enabling AWS with 4.3 and MK2 bb

Hello all,
I've read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291589 inside and out, but I can't do it! I've asked questions, and even PMed members that were looking for the same solution, and nada.
My phone is brand new and I need it to work for Wind Mobile in Canada. It's running 4.3, with MK2 baseband.
I can't even root it properly, apparently this MK2 baseband is super locked down.
I'll be more than happy to pay 30 bucks via PayPal for anyone who can help me unlock the AWS on this phone.
I've already unlocked the actual phone, I just need the AWS.

First off, can you provide a little more information about your phone?
Your on the MK2 baseband but on what model? I337, I337M,etc?
Lastly, MK2 isn't "locked down" unless you mean the bootloader portion.
From here we might be able to form a solution.

Hello,
Sorry, the model is ATT S4, which is SGH-I337.
Well, I tried three different methods to root it, and none of them worked properly. I'm not that technically gifted, especially with Android, but those rooting apps were pretty much plug and click, and still the phone wasn't rooted. My researched said I need to safetrap it, and with that downgrade the baseband, and then I can enable the AWS, but I honestly wasn't able to any of it.
If anyone is interested, I can even setup a TeamViewer or something. Just tell me which files to download, and should be set.

Do you have Skype? From what I've read your need to root, install Safestrap, downgrade your modem (not baseband) to MF3. I can walk you through the process relatively simple.

[Q] how to unlock galaxy s4 from straighttalk SM-S975L

So I looked everywhere and no one seems to know how to unlock a straighttalk s4
since this site the best with cellphones problem solving I'm askin for some help :/
its a SM-S975L

when i ran the network unlock tool it was already unlocked the boot loader wasn't locked either the only thing we need now is rom development to include our devices. I have twrp and used towel root to root the device.

I'm dealing with this same issue right now. Bought an SM-S975L for straight talk last night and I want to use it on Metro PCS. Metro says all is well on their end and I just have to wait, but all I see is "Invalid Sim" on the status bar. How did you unlock the SM-S975L? There's very limited information around the internet about this model. I'm tearing my hair out and the wifey is driving around without a phone. Figured you (or anybody else) could point me in the right direction.

LOL, the $249 deal was hard to pass up. I got a couple of them, one for me and one for the misses. She'll be fine with the 4.3 that is on the phone out of the box, but I wanted to convert mine to be like the I9505G (GPE). I was thinking it would be simple as I've heard all of the LTE models were like the I9505 and they seem fairly broken into. But I think this is more like the SGH-I337 and maybe boot loader locked, but looking into ways to test that. I did root it already using towelroot. Installed SuperSU and Titanium Backup and root is working, now so see if I can get CMW and a GPE rom on it. If I find a way I'll be sure it is mentioned here as a working method for the SM-S975L. I'm not using it yet as I have my GT-I9500 that I'm using, but seeing better support for the qualcomm for custom roms I decided to get it. The I9500 should get Android 5.0 official rom first though.

For what it's worth, I just picked up this phone from the Black Friday sale, and I would *really* like to put a custom ROM on it. I won't even pretend to be proficient in this. How difficult would it be to convert the custom ROMs on other models of Galaxy S4's to this one?

I am unsure my self the closest variant is the att s4. Both the att one and this one is bootloader locked. Since we have 4.3 version of Android safestrap would be likely what to use. I am afraid of this my self so I have not attempted it

Whoa whoa whoa. What am I looking at? It looks like that's the model of the T-mobile variant, but the baseband is the same as the S975L!?

Even a custom kernel flashed! What.
Sent from my SM-T310

It is the SM-S975L with a T-Mobile ROM and the custom kernel. The SGH-I337 ROM does not work, it erases the system partition every flash.

Awesome work aromerblz. Anything special you had to do to load the ROM with the S975 baseband...or any issues you're experiencing? Will be testing this out later in the week when I get some free time.
-JC

That is cool, at the very least its Kit Kat. I still would like to find a method to convert completely to GT-I9505G. Just no time. I'm hoping with jtag access it can be completely reconfigured, then just make sure the IMEI is set to that the device should be. Ideally the only way to see it was a SM-S975L would be to look under the battery. I don't really care about removing the SIM lock though, I plan to stick with my ST SIM. I did get a new BYOD SIM and it is showing 4G now (Not sure if it should indicate LTE like old ATT S3 does) as my old BYOD SIM would not and ST support said that I could not move the included SIM to any other device as it would be bound to the S975L.

I would love to get off the Tracfone ROM. I'm going to assume that Samsung/Tracfone will never upgrade this phone beyond Android 4.3. The last native update was in February of this year, and it was just a minor patch. I'm not too concerned about unlocking, but being able to use a different ROM seems to be a step in the right direction. If anyone could post a tutorial or what ROMs they used, that would be extremely helpful. I've looked everywhere and this info is not available anywhere.
For what it's worth, someone over on GSM Forums has claimed to have flashed the AT&T ROM too. They also were unable to unlock it, however. Unfortunately, I can't post the direct link until I have hit 10 posts That poster has been inactive for two months, and before that, he was inactive for three years. It may be hard to get in touch with him..

I first flashed a T-Mobile TWRP recovery v27.1, but the latest v28 works fine. After that i downloaded the TMB firmware NB4 from sammobile.com created a custom rom with the android kitchen. After that the usual flashing of the rom via TWRP. Without a custom kernel the phone does not boot up. So i used the ktoonsez kernel. Once booted i rooted with towelroot and pjone has been working fine. Only things to know is that when booting up it says "Kernel is not SeAndroid"
"Set Warranty Bit: Kernel"
As that specifies it trips the knox flag. Which i dont care if it does as am not in the USA.

You used the TWRP for jfltetmo, correct? Did you use Odin to flash it?
Also, this might seem obvious, but even if I do this, it'll still work/remain locked to ST/AT&T, correct?

Yeah TWRP for jfltetmo. The jflteatt does not seem to work at all on this model. I flashed with odin, no need to use safestrap on this phone as i think the bootloader is not locked like the one found on the SGH-I337, although its the identical variant.
Yes the phone remains locked to ST/AT&T. A friend of mines was able to get the unlock cod for this phone but even with the unlock code its not a permanent lock. Reason is because you can unlock and be able to use all the features available to the phone but once restarted it asks for the code again. Not sure why it does that, I believe the radio has to be the culprit for that here. Not sure how TracFone will handle the unlocks for this phone after 01/01/15. does the same even on full stock TF firmware.

Difficulties after switching to T-Mobile

Hey guys! Thanks in advance for any help or clarity you can provide.
I had to switch to T-Mobile from Verizon. My device isn't rooted, modified, or in any way different than factory. However because of the switch I've had some functionality that I've lost. Namely the ability to get software updates. This phone has been rooted before, and I'm very comfortable with the process of loading up different software. The question I can't find anything on is whether or not installing the T-Mobile firmware will brick/cripple the device. I know there are different chipsets so I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep my phone up to date without being on Verizon anymore.

You can flash T-Mobile's firmware or the U firmware without any problems. There are tutorials here in the forums that will walk you through the process.

I tried finding something about loading the T-Mobile firmware on a Verizon device but I haven't had any luck. Only guides on doing a regular firmware update on a T-Mobile device. Should I be worried about the Exynos/Snapdragon differences? I hate asking for something so simple, but could you please point me in the right direction? I'd LIKE to try and go that route, because the U firmware had poor battery life, a lot of heat generation, and requires a patch just to get wifi to work. Then again maybe I'm thinking of the eng boot we had for rooti. I do love my all day battery quite a bit.
Thanks in advance.

Just look on the forums on flashing either the U firmware or T-Mobile firmware using Odin. It's a fairly easy process if you read through the steps thoroughly. And you don't need to worry about unlocking anything.

I'm familiar with flashing the U firmware, as I did this on my Sprint s7, but my understanding was that just flashing the U firmware didn't open up the bands. But are you saying that flashing the U firmware alone was enough to get TMobile fully working?

My understanding it does. The hardware between the phone's should be the same so it's software that's affecting it. But the U firmware won't allow wifi calling and other carrier specific things unless you're rooted. So pick and choose.

Rooted with new binary, can I install U firmware?

I recently acquired a G935P to repair my old phone that had a bad sim card reader. I used the motherboard from the Sprint phone because i'm not skilled in the ways of micro=soldering items. Come to find out Sprint is particularly difficult because they are the only carrier that has upgraded their S7E's to binary 5. Now I have after various attempts, successfully rooted the phone with no issues, seems to run fine albeit some lag (due to the engboot) but I was inquiring that since I have root can I install the U firmware and how would I go about doing that. Thanks in advance!

Is the phone sim unlocked? You may have to call sprint to get it unlocked first. Until Verizon (or the g935u) gets binary 5, you will be unable to change your firmware, with the exception of the sprint binary 5 firmware.

It was recently unlocked but it consistantly showed the device receiving the signal as roaming, i believe because it was only internationally unlocked? and it did not pick up the 4G bands, only reaching normal 3G speeds and in my attempts to flash the U firmware I somehow managed to undo the procedure :/ I have the MSL code and am contuining with trying different settings to see if I can at least get the phone to accept the SIM card again.

Have you tried to manually add the carrier info? Sometimes when using different roms you have to change where you are connecting to because the rom defaults to another carrier.

Yes sir, I have to access the hidden menu to get into the data profiles but even when i get there, it won't show the APN's set for the device because 'user is not authorized' and when i add the verizon apn information and hit save, it doesn't go through.

I believe once you achieve root you should be able to run xposed, i'm not entirely sure on that but from what I understand it's possible. The U firmware is just devoid of any carrier bloat and allows you to run a more pure version of the samsung firmware, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

On older Samsung phones, when the bootloader was upgraded, you could 'odin' the previous firmware. It did this by not flashing certain components of the tar file. For example, you could go from a binary 5 nougat to a binary 4 marshmallow firmware, but the bootloader would still remain on binary 5... however, you just installed the binary 4 firmware.
Not sure if this would let you go to the u firmware, but may let you rollback to a binary 4 firmware. Haven't tried it on my s7 since I'm stuck with sprint until October... so no point at this time.

Is the new Oreo firmware from various cell companies binary 5?

Haven't done it in a while since it was on an older phone, but you use a program called z3x Samsung tool pro. It will allow you to only flash certain aspects of the file. You may or may not be able to cross over from p firmware to u firmware with it.

I recently acquired a G935P to repair my old phone that had a bad sim card reader. I used the motherboard from the Sprint phone because i'm not skilled in the ways of micro=soldering items. Come to find out Sprint is particularly difficult because they are the only carrier that has upgraded their S7E's to binary 5. Now I have after various attempts, successfully rooted the phone with no issues, seems to run fine albeit some lag (due to the engboot) but I was inquiring that since I have root can I install the U firmware and how would I go about doing that. Thanks in advance!
