Discussed ad nauseam. Downgrading the modem or ROM to Android 4.2.2 is required in order for the unlock methods discussed on the forums to work. You could also simply purchase an unlock code.

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 read a couple of threads and tried a couple of things and didn't work... Im trying to sim unlock my Galaxy S4 GT I9500 on stock android 4.3 not rooted and is not working.
I read about a code using *#0011# code and didn't work.. Post was not specific about using no sim, original carrier sim or desire carrier sim.. anyway I tried all and was a failure.
I read another thread about flashing a modem and downgrading the firmware but wasnt specific enough about how to do it and the requirements (android version, rooted?, how to do it, etc)
I try one of those "code pages" and even they couldnt help me. My carrier is Movistar in Nicaragua.
Is there is any easy way to SIM unlock my phone? maybe by just installing a pre-rooted, pre-unlocked rom? or is there is a page/guide/video with specific instruction on how to do it?
thanks in advance.
I think the step by step instructions on SIM unlocking in the main thread on the topic are pretty specific. They don't mention downgrading the device modem through Odin however because they were written before Samsung patched the exploits that allowed the SIM unlock to work.
Downgrading the modem to an Android 4.2.2 version in the AP/PDA slot in Odin is necessary to run either unlock metbod. However, you can really mess things up trying to unlock if you aren't careful, especially with the service menu exploit.
Hello guys, I have some unlocking issues with my phone -> Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-R970C version 4.4.2 -> locked to Cricket 4G LTE. I'm trying to unlock the phone so it can operate with other carriers (European).
I installed towelroot / superSU and galaxsim unlock but my phone doesn't recognize the quick menu access codes beginning with "*#0". Any ideas how to enter the factory menu since codes aren't working? Thanks in advance.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683 is where you need to go to read up on how to do this. Based upon your description you're missing an essential detail, which explains why it's not working for you. Also, be aware that the possibility exists your device may be one of the few that doesn't unlock using this method, in which case you need to get an unlock code through other means.
Hi. I'm trying to unlock my S4 to use another sim. It's locked to EE. It's now been 2 years so I've got the S6 today. Giving the S4 to my partner.
I tried the *#0011# method. Can't get to the UMTS menu. Tried the Region Unlocker App without success. I tried downloading a random 4.2.2 ROM from the development section to access the Service Menu and I'm now stuck in a boot loop. I used to have 4.4.2 installed.
Please help?
Unlocking only works on stock ROMs. If you downloaded a Jellybean ROM from the development section, you're doing it wrong.
While the unlock methods used here do work if the directions are followed correctly, there's no guarantee the unlock will be retained with ROM updates or baseband changes. You're better off asking EE for an unlock code, or buying an unlock code. Unlike the unlock methods here, once that code is input, it unlock the device for good.
Questions belong in Q&A, not General.
Thank you.
Hello,
I've been digging the forums and the net if there is any way to sim unlock the i9506 for free.
All the tutorials, etc refers to the i9505 but not the i9506. I was not able to find any free solution to the date.
Does any one knows if there is any free method today in 2016? Maybe all the info I've found is outdated and old and perhaps there is a new way/method to sim unlock the S4 i9506.
I've downgraded to 4.4.2 and tried the *#0011# method without luck.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The only free SIM unlock method for your device is asking your carrier for a code. SIM unlock worked on the I9505 by downgrading the firmware to Android 4.2.2 and then using one of the methods mentioned in the thread. The I9506 never had Android 4.2.2, thus no way to SIM unlock.
