Can someone with the S 4 in hand try the S 3 SIM unlock trick? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I was curious if the same trick would work so if anyone can validate that would be great.

It does not work, at least not that I can find.. The menu works but I can't find any info or selectable options for the network lock.

Wasn't the option removed with the 4.1.2 version of the Note 2 - i.e. you had to downgrade to 4.1.1 to get that trick to work. If so, I'd assume that Samsung would roll the code that removed it into the S4.
Too bad - it was so easy to unlock the S3 and Note 2!

Doesn't work .... after 4.1.2 update it does not work ... you have to be 4.1.1 in order to work ...already tried it today from my customer and nope

how soon do you suppose we'll get a sim unlock for AT&T galaxy s4?

Umm you can buy unlock for like $29.99 but after you upload a video of yourself doing it they will give you a refund of $20.00. I used http://www.FastGSM.com . Yes it works on the att i337. I just did it with one of my upgraded line.

Voodoo SIM Unlock.. If you're rooted

Hi i done mine threw here, freeunlocks dot com had my unlock code in 10 minutes
Jeez dude, you better change your credit card and browsing habit if you managed to get scam 3 times. Also don't go to the link posted by s3lover, he's a spammer and the link is a scam.
You can do it for free. I think there is a thread somewhere which has an app which generates a code for you.
Voodoo dont work in the new roms...
For free ..not in the roms...
The link posted dont smell good....

Looks like supercurio pulled the app temporary until he improved it, but you can get the apk directly from his site: http://project-voodoo.org/android-apps
try this
hey, i found this online, it seems to give unlock code for any imei, just follow the instructions, and let us know if you are successfull,
mine is locked to orange UK, im now using LFB (previous to the latest LG8 firmware), i had unloked my phone using voodoo unlock (rooted), but its not working on LG8 as you have mentioned, came thorough the bleow link while searching on the net, see if it works, if it does then good for all of us,
I have not yet tried this as Im not at home and cant flash LG8 now to test it, but Im have got a code after putting my imei no. in the link..
check and let us know so that it helps all of us...

Is your imei 351869XXXXXXXXX?
Because I have the same problem I have already país code and it doesnt work either
Btw if you delete /efs/nv.log before running voodoo sim unlock it work the first time, no need to unlock more than once.

Yes but is the best option the sammobile option is the same using voodoo. I try it and is useless have the same problem of voodoo. The best option is cellunlocker.net $25.00 and i flash any firmware without any problem.

This question has already been asked more than once. Why not use the "search" function and follow the posting rules instead of complaining about no one rushing to this thread?
The phone hasn't even been released yet. My advice is to give it a couple of weeks (at least) and let people have a look at it to see if it can be easily unlocked or not. Otherwise, you can try to deal with the carrier (or who ever you purchase your phone from) to try and get an unlock code. You usually need to be persistent and keep trying if getting the code doesn't work at first.

Free unlock codes are not safe.So better you can use any paid unlock codes to unlock your Samsung Galaxy S4 from AT&T network lock.To get unlock code visit Unlock-zone.com .Here they provide unlock code with free step by step instructions at low cost.This is safe and secure.

Tmob network unlock?

I bought a tmob n3 yesterday. Putting my Att Sim in I get a Sim unlock password request. I thought I could just pop in my Att Sim.and go..any ideas? Do I have to call tmob to get the unlock..I bought it at full price
Sent from my GT-I9505G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I think I read somewhere that t-mobile will make you keep the phone on their service for at least one billing cycle before they unlock it.
You'd better just call them and ask, the store clerks will give you an answer, or 3 answers, probably all wrong.
Please update the thread when you know for sure.

Its a 40 day wait for unlock, not sure if you could talk some manager into bypassing it. You could try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471742

That looks to work if you don't need a true unlock where you can use any sim without restricts. I had great results with cellunlocker.net. It's $25 but you never have to worry about it again.
+1 for cellunlocker.

You just need to factory unlock it. If you can't get the unlock code from att there are YouTube videos of how to do it for free. I did it for free with the method of restoring the golden backup. Only took 5 mins.

Free methods don't work on newer firmwares. Only AT&T or a paid company can unlock it.

Yeah I was thinking about that as I was writing it to him. When I did it I was on 4.2 with the first build the phone came with. I think amdl. Either way you got options bud. You can buy a unlock code from amazon or eBay for really cheap

You can try this link https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_GB/
I did
I did it a month ago and it works well. Get an unlock doe from the website that costs $30 if you cant find a free way, i tried the one for $6 and they sent me my money back 2 days later because they couldn't do it. Once unlocked use the APN from these settings:
http://www.4gtricks.com/2013/04/t-mobile-4g-apn-t-mobile-4g-apn-settings.html
I tried all of the other ways for it and none of get the full LTE speeds like that one.

Ok guys. I have an s4. Am in UK and an thinking of getting a note 3 on tesco mobile. How easy is it to unlock so I can use my 3 network sim. It was simple on s4. Same deal on note 3?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Simplest and easiest way is to get an unlock code either from the network provider you are with or as you are on three network. ... They are unlocking for free. There is a thread on that. .. check it out.
You ring up three from your three sim option 3,3,2,1 (something like that) and give them your imei number and within 7 days they will send you the unlock code.
Worked for me on a vodafone locked phone

well its a tesco mobile note 3 - and I want to use my three micro sim card
was wondering if the app 'region lock away' would do the trick?
dont want to sign up for a contract if I cant unlock it myself
Like I said you can still get it unlocked by three. I got my Vodafone locked phone unlocked by three.

Dont pay, theres a free way to unlock your phone to other networks ...
its on XDA somewhere !! ( i cant remember the name of it currently, but ill update you once I remember )
surely i would need to speak to tesco mobile if its locked to their network? not three?
or am i being stupid??
really need to get this sorted asap - gotta decide in about 30 mins if i am getting this phone
i like the s4 which i have, but the note 3 looks awesome....lol
I've said it to you twice. My phone was locked top Vodafone and I have the imei to three and they gave me the unlock code which worked and now my phone is unlocked

Buy the phone. ... You don't even have to open the box. ... The imei number is on the box (I would open just to make sure of everything) give the a call and if you don't get a code. ... Give the phone back or ask tesco to unlock or use one of these websites to get the code

They aren't doing it to be nice, it makes good business sense to make your phone accept a 3 sim so they can start taking money from you.
You can also get a Note3 unlocked for £7 in about 1hr on eBay
After all that. The phone was factory unlocked! Got it from carphone warehouse. £27 contract. Free handset. Working fine on my 3 sim. Thanks for your help guys!

Yeah CPW and P4U sell unlocked handsets with their contracts as they get them in direct rather than via a carrier.
