Hello everyone. I've got Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 4.4.2 and what i want is to have my mobile phone sim unlocked. i'm currently on T-Mobile Croatia nad i'm trying to insert my new SIM card from another operator... when mobile phone boots it asks for some code. As i don't have the code, i don't know what to do, and as i'm contractly connected with my original operator, i cannot request free sim unlock. However, i don't want to pay for the code either. So what are my chanses to get my mobile code sim unlocked? tried this metnod: android.gs/sim-unlock-samsung-galaxy-s4-i9505-i9500/
i cannot get over service mode menu after i enter 1. it's not doing anything, and as i see, this only works on 4.3 androids. So my is 4.4.2 and i'm unable to enter that mode.
please help me!
You have to unlock ur phone by IMEI. Unique way of make it free is buying a unlock code. Good luck :highfive:

How to unlock the Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-R970
I bough this phone online thinking that i will unlock and keep using on different carriers even outside the US (GSM)
I have done a lot of researches online and i cannot find any solution. The imei is only 14 Digits and almost all online unlocking services doesn't have this model.
The usually codes like *#0011#, *#27663368378# they doesn't work at all.
I have tried to go to unlock stores or guys who knows to unlock phones and he said that this phone cannot be unlocked.
phone has a sim card slot so it should be CDMA&GSM
When i insert a different sim card provider it says Invalid Sim Card so i cannot enter any unlock code
ANY IDEA or i will lose 500$ for bad phone
Uscc is not a gsm phone the sim card slot is used for thw 4g service the phone itself is cdma

Samsung gs4 sch-970c (cricket)
Samsung has told me this phone will work either gsm or cdma. Cdma is the way cricket first sold it. It cannot be unlocked. It is cdma. It has to be flashed to a new carrier after it is rooted. The sim is locked via software. Not many codes and all the unlock codes you read about are for gsm. The ##366633# code you mention gets you to a disable or enable developer mode.
i also have the same issue. Not resolved yet. but I did find out this that might help: if i pull up a website that checks the MEID number it gives me the whole description of my phone plus an extra digit on the IMEI number. I wonder if this is why third party unlock sites cant help me
Who has unlocked cricket sch-r970c?
Same problem. Cricket said they cannot find the unlock code if the phone was never activated. So this was never activated.
I have rooted it to OptimizedCM-12-1-20151130. Is it now unlocked?
OR, who has successfully flashed a custom ROM to unlock the software lock on it?
The struggle continues...
I just repaired my USC s4 LCD digitizer and now that I am no longer a USC customer wanted to unlock it so I did some checking, if you go to US cellular they will unlock the phone for you, I got my unlock code, but they said they couldn't complete the process if the phone was rooted (Which mine is), you would have to reinstall the USC original firmware, or the latest firmware, to get it to unlock, then root it. I am doing some research now to find out if there is indeed an alternative to unlock a rooted phone...
I just left US CELLULAR where I was told nothing below the s5 could be unlocked,and the only suggestion from any one employed there was to call customer service.
you try RegionLockapp ???
I unlocked my t mobile s4 with it, i had to flash to a earlier firmware, then root, then use RegionLockapp, then re-flash whatever rom you want.
Hi, I bought an International version of Note 3 SM-N900 from US. Its mentioned as it will work for US Based SIM. Without knowing that I bought to india and tried with Indian Sim, it asked to enter Network SIM Unlock PIN. I tried following methods, but went in vain :
1. Called Indian Samsung Customer Service. They told they cant help it.
2. Took to Authorised Samsung Service Centre, they told they cant help it.
3. Tried with some online Unlock codes, nothing worked.
I have 2 solutions in front of me : Please let me know, which will work.
1. If I put an US SIM, which is in international roaming and make a call and talk for 5 mins, will the region lock gets removed. ?
2. If I take back to US, put an US Sim and talk for 5 mins and bring back to India and use with Indian SIM, will it work ?
IS there any other method you guys can suggest me ? Please help me.
Unlock with SPT box

What online unlock codes you have used? May be you didn't use a suitable codes.
Can you show the screenshot of the phone, when it asks for the unlock code?
How does it look like?

Hi, I have this same exact issue. Did you find a fix? My phone worked for 2 days until it suddenly didn't.
Is it possible your phone is blacklisted by the carrier?

How can I tell which carrier to unlock my Samsung Galaxy 5 for? I thought it was unlocked but it wasn't, and the guy who gave it to me won't get back in touch with me. Please let me know. Also, is there is a good way to return to stock without a windows pc (aka a mac). It is a G900F

Check the SIM Lock status by this secret code: *#7465625#
You need (to buy) the unlock code to unlock.
I got a samsung galaxy SM-E500H phone which asks for network unlock code.
I dont know the network its locked to and its a dual sim. If there is anybody who knows how i can get it unlocked pleae let me know. How can i tell which network its locked to also will be very useful.
Network Locked
Did you buy phone from some Contact Company. .? If it's so then It's LOCKED. Or It has been stolen from somewhere and they have got it Locked by Security Agencies. In both conditions you need to contact your local security company & verify your status.
Flash some custom rom

Flashing the sustom rom to a model which has been NETWORK LOCKED will render it unusable.. Give a try & regret the moment. .

Had this experience before. Purchased an S4. Then tried to unlock through the service menu based on a XDA tutorial. Didn't work and it could not be unlocked with a right unlock code later on. Eventually, I returned it and get another S4.
This happened to me on galaxy s4 but it was my mistake. My s4 was rooted and I had attempted to unlock using region lock away for unlocking region lock. But when I received the unlock code(sim unlock) i forgot i had left my region lock away on. So i had to reverse that region lock away (or just restored my phone) and retried the code, which then worked fine.

Did you ever find a solution?
Check out the second post here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/help-awesome-t3605470
The certain carriers are Cricket / ATT. If your NCK is not working, you have to get the MCK code. I have a special hotline you can call about the issue since normal att tech support cant help. check your pms
