Thanks,
Roy

No I did not I ended up selling the phone as I wanted to change networks but I could not unlock the pjone.
Ei.. any fix for this?
i BELIEVE this is part of Samsung's "business strategy".. i was resolve this using the Samsung Service Mode apk (which I cracked and patched :highfive, however i have another issue related to this (see attached pic)!
In this case...may i ask if anyone from XDA knows the secret code for the UMTS Menu for me to access the Network Unlock menu???

Hi XDA Peeps!
I was able to unlock my i9505!
I just did the following steps:
1. Dial *#0011# via Phone Utility apk [Phone Connectivity Status will appear (via Service Mode)];
2. Tap on the left soft key (LSK) and select Key Input > Enter 1 > Hit OK;
3. Tap on the LSK and select BACK [You're now just a few steps away!];
4. Tap on the LSK and select Key Input > Enter 1 > Hit OK [Your screen shall have a different output now (i.e., a single digit "1" on line 1)];
5. WAIT for 5 seconds until the UMTS MAIN MENU appears > Select Debug Screen > Select Phone Control > Select Network Lock;
6. Next, tap on: [3] PERSO SHA256 OFF;
7. From here, go back to the UMTS MAIN MENU by tapping on Menu (left soft key on SGS4) and selecting Back from the options;
8. Once you are in the UMTS menu, tap on: [6]COMMON;
9. There, select: [6]NV REBUILD;
10. Now in the NV Rebuild menu, tap on: [4] Restore Back-up;
11. Samsung Galaxy S4 will now go into a temporary freezing state. After a while you’ll see some activities. The screen will be black and the LED will turn Blue. The Menu and Back key button on phone will also light;
12. Lastly, your Samsung Galaxy S4 will reboot automatically and will take a minute or two in booting up (depending on your ROM's Boot Animation);
BOOM! Your Galaxy S4 GT i9505 is now SIM-unlocked! Try a SIM card from another carrier to confirm the process and do not forget to share this to your friends too!

Where should I go in this menu? Selected the first [1] menu, now the phone starts "Blocking mode" what's this???
First hit menu then back. Then I hit menu-select-4 and and then hit menu then back and it gives me a list of options. Never messed around in there but I just looked around to see what was there. I tried 1,2,3 and phone just rebooted but nothing really happened.

Hm...
I do *#9090# and see:
DIAG CONFIG
[1]DM/DUM over HS-USB[]
[2]DM/DUM over HSIC[]
[3]DM/DUN/RmNET over HSUSB[]
[4]DM over UART(*)
[5]DBG MSG ON(*)
[6]DBG MSG OFF(*)
Could someone check what the defaults are?
Ok did the sequence and found it
What is "blocking mode enabled"? Did I push something wrong?
These are what I see

Is access to this useful at all?

Sweet! Is there a way to verify if it is unlocked now? NM, I was thinking of bootloader unlock...doh.

Tried it and it didn't work after put in my tmobile sim.
Tried it and verified that Perso SSH 256 was off and when i popped another carrier sim, it still said sim locked. Caved in and purchased the unlock code form cellunlocker.
p.S: Don't forget to switch Perso SSH 256 back to ON if you want to unlock it via cellunlocker code
Tried it as well and didn't work. So used unlock code.
Thanks @mikron15 for letting me know to turn SSH 256 back on as I was getting unlock unsuccessful.
tried it as well with no success... any other suggestions?

How to SIM unlock Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919 (tested - works)
Hi Everyone,
I'm a long time lurker and benefited greatly from the postings here at xda.
So I'd like to contribute something back.
After trying many methods and reading all the posts in the various S4 forums, I finally found a way for SIM unlock that works for me.
I have tested it, and it works on my T-Mobile S4.
Credit to these posts:
KaneHusky's post for the dialer code
This thread on how to unlock
chavxxx's post pointing to the right final step
Here are the steps:
Goto phone dailer, and enter *#27663368378# for the debug service menu.
In "ServiceMode", select [1] UMTS
In "UMTS MAIN MENU", select [1] DEBUG SCREEN
In "DEBUG SCREEN", select [6] PHONE CONTROL
In "PHONE CONTROL", select [6] NETWORK LOCK
In "NETWORK LOCK", select [3] PERSO SHA256 OFF
It should show:
SHA256_ENABLED_FLAG[1]
SHA256_OFF => SHA256_ON
Now touch the first line SHA256_ENABLED_FLAG[1]
It should show:
MENU NOT EXIST
PRESS BACK KEY
Current Command is 116631
Now press the menu button and select "Back"
It should show:
SHA256_ENABLED_FLAG[0]
SHA256_OFF => Not Change
Again, press the menu button and select "Back", and you're back in the "NETWORK LOCK" screen
Press the menu button and select "Back", and you're in the "PHONE CONTROL" screen
Press the menu button and select "Back", and you're in the "DEBUG SCREEN" screen
Finally, press the menu button and select "Back", and you're back in the "UMTS MAIN MENU" screen
Select [6] COMMON
In "COMMON" screen, select [6] NV REBUILD
Now you are in the "NV REBUILD" screen, you should see the following text:
------------------------------
Golden-Backup exist
You can Restore Cal/NV
------------------------------
Now for the final step.
In "NV REBUILD" screen, select [4] Restore Back-up
The button lights for menu and back should come on, and the phone will auto reboot in a few seconds.
Note: chavxxx's post of selecting "[1] Load default NV" DID NOT work for me.
Congratulations, your phone is now unlocked.
Stick in a sim card from a different carrier and try it out.
Please post followups of your experience with this unlock method.
Thanks, and good luck!

Can't verify with the SIM card yet but the sequenses worked for S4.
What are the additional steps for S3?
I can't test because I got my sim unlock all ready by paying 25 for it when the phone came out

I followed the SIM unlock method, and it worked for my Bell S4.
Hi all,
In first, sorry for bad english, i m French lol.
I have a lag with my gps, i install ROM Dr Ketan for n910f. I want post on thread but I'm new user.
I want use this topic :
1) Open Phone, go to the dialer.
2) Enter *#0011# to enter the service mode. You will land at "DEBUG SCREEN"
I hit menu key and select "back"
3) Hit the menu key, select "Key Input" and in the Input Value box, enter Q (capital letter) and hit OK
4) Hit the menu key again, select "Key Input", and in the Input value box, enter 0000 (four zeros) and hit OK
5) Wait about 5-10 seconds, your service menu should change to "MAIN MENU":
Code:
MAIN MENU
[1] PROTOCOL STATE
[2] UE SETTINGS & INFO
[3] ETC
[4] DEBUG SCREEN(OPEN)
[5] OPERATOR(OPEN)
Now I haven't messed around in here too much, but if you want to reset your modem and GPS (restore the factory NV values for the modem, which COULD help data dropouts, bad GPS fix, etc.), do the following:
1) Enter the MAIN MENU as described above
2) Select option 2 "UE SETTINGS & INFO"
3) Select option 1 "SETTING"
4) Select option 2 "SYSTEM"
5) Select option 3 "NV REBUILD"
6) Select option 3 "ALL"
7) It will tell you to reboot. Do it. Reboot will take slightly longer, but it will completely reset the modem, GPS, and IMS settings
But a step 5, I wait , but any screen for select.
You have a solution ?? Plz
Thx
Anybody have solution ??

Hi guys.
When I enter this code " *#*#4636#*#* ", the secret menu appears but when opening "Phone Information" menu, It says "This application does not work on this device".
I tried to enter this menu in various ways but the result is simillar.
I need this menu to force my SIM2 LTE Only.
Me too in 990ds
Thats weird
I have on my hands a P9 Lite of my friends..... He want to give away to his son and from the recovery (PowerUp + Down) he does a factory reset for completely restore your phone.
He suppose it's only need this but no.......... after the fist setup and after i add my wireless the phone, now, ask to put the previous google account but my friends he don't remember the exact google account used in this phone and the phone in fact it is completely unusable
At this point he asked for my help but i have tryed to found some guide over internet but apparently i can't found nothigs help our to unlock the situation. In the last two hours i have also tryed so many video over youtube to bypass this account request but nothings apparent's can help me.
I have reach the "Settings" (by Google Maps and use assistant to "open google" and after that open settings app) but from right here i can't do nothigs because there's no restore option of somethigs similar.....
If someone can help me and suggest somethigs thanks in advantage.
*EDIT 1st after another tentative*
In some mode........... i have followed one guide found on hardreset.info. I have reach the stock File Manager and from a SD Card i have installed the suggested "Go Launcher". By this i have enabled the Developer mode.... enable the oem unlock...... and from advanced setting i have launch the factore reset!
The phone it's boot as a LOWLEVEL format and after about 5 minutes now it's reboot............................. i hope it's not bricked...... it's stuck at TIM logo from about another 5 minutes.....
*EDIT definitive whit solution!!!*
BECAUSE do it yourself, do it for three...
Before all of that......... i have downloaded from hardreset.info "Go Launcher 2.40". I have copyed on a my MicroSD and i have inserted on the phone before to start all !!
1) Following partially the guide on hardreset.info.....
2) partially because the suggested mode to reach the download it's not works for me.... i have found another ways....
3) Using the stock "Huawei Swipe" keyboard after a lot of random combination i don't have understand how i do but i have obtain "Google Maps" app opened!
4) From "Google Maps" i have planned a little travel from..... selected and it's need to be appears the "START" to begin the navigation!
5) At this point..... tap on right "MIC" and says "open google" to phone! The phone responds to me and immediatelly after i obtain the "Google Assistant" opened!
6) From "Google Assistant" i can opened the stock "File" manager simply input "File" on search bar....
7) From stock "File Manager" and from SD (previously prepared!! Read above upper here) i have installed the "Go Launcher 2.40"
8) After a correct installation...... i have choose to open directly from end of installation.
9) I have obtain a home of android.......
10) Go in settings and from about i have, now, can successfully enable the DEVELOPER MODE !
11) From Developer mode i have choose to enable the "OEM Unlock" (i don't have idea if need... it's suggest also on hardreset guide)
12) Back from here and now enter on "Advanced Settings".. Reach "Backup & Reset"..... the last voice it's "Factory data reset"
13) Tap one time......... ACTIVATE THE OPTION for "Erase internal storage" and tap again to confirm on "Reset Phone" button
After about 2 minutes........ you see your phone reboot........... start a "LOW LEVEL" restore and....
Happy your phone............
