it doesn't work, tried unsuccessful, I've buyed unlock code.
[Galaxy S 4 General] bammyman:
It Works

I was selling my S4 to get a M8 and was digging my head out to get the unlock code . AT&T said no and I paid twice after trying different methods on XDA and two unlocking service online who didn't provide jack. This works for me first time running 4.3. I just pop in a Tmobile prepaid sim card and made a call. I followed steps on the first page. Very happy bunny here.

[Galaxy S 4 General] maurocds:
ok after many tries i did it

it was

s4 9505 from venezuela digitel DGT, i did it with stock rom 4.4.2 and XXUAME2 modem

using tutorial did not worked for me, even using other modems, i could access the menus but nothing else happened, lock still was there

so i did the RegionLock Away method, and worked for only 3$ usd, i saved like 40$ of buying the code from ebay

after that i installed my latest modem I9505VJUGNE2 for venezuela, and falshed GPE rom 4.4.4, the unlock worked still after changing modems and rom

great

Unlocking from EE

Hi, I've been having a similar problem

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/help/unlocking-s4-ee-t2889053

Based on what you've said:

i) where would you recommend I download the XXUAME2 modem from, somewhere like here? - http://d-h.st/IFe;

ii) I've searched on here but I'm struggling to find a link to download the NB9 modem - could you help me out?;

iii) given what you've said, do you think that with a Vodafone Ghana sim in my S4 (rather than EE), I will be asked for the Network unlock code in the penultimate step?;

I've just got an i9505 locked on uk o2 from a friend but I didn't give him the money yet because it's locked. I tried the methods in post 1 and the service mode menu never showed up(even if the first menu did). I rooted with towelroot, installed mobil odin and flashed S4 Echoe v34, now not even the first menu shows up. As I understand I need the ME2 modem, so I got the I9505XXUAME2_MODEM and flashed it with mobile odin, same result, no menu. Tried the other code something like 197328640 doesn't work. Even tried RegionLock away as someone suggested.

Can anyone suggest what should I do ? Should I flash with normal Odin stock 4.2.2 that the phone came with and then what ?

I'm using mobile odin so I won't trigger any knox things as I did on my S5

sim card issue

Hi all,

I'm struggling with the following: I bought an S4 second hand in Belgium (all phones are unlocked here). I have tried it with 2 different Belgian sim cards and everything works fine. However, when I insert my Hungarian sim card, it wouldn't detect it. I don't get any error message, I just get the icon at the top meaning that there is no sim inserted.

I'm on android 4.4.2. I have tried flashing the UK version and the Hungarian (XEH) version as well, the result is the same. I have also tried downgrading the modem as described above, I could get access to the magic menu, did everything and no change.

What could be the problem related to?

thanks a lot.

Urgent Help! Overseas now need sim unlock

Help! I am overseas right now and I'm trying to unlock my sim. I was previously provided with a sim network unlock pin from ATT but I did not use it right away and it appears now the code has expired and no longer works. I just called them and they said it will take 48 hrs to submit a case for review whether to give me another one! However I'm in Taiwan right now and need to use my phone, I have a Taiwanese Sim with minutes and data ready to go!

It doesn't appear the method will work for me in the original post, since I can't dial because I'm not in the States right now. Does anyone know of any other way I can try to unlock? My S4 is still on version 4.2.2 MDL baseband version. Its rooted but no custom rom or anything.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I was looking into this after I had LOST unlocked status on my I9505. As everyone lately has noticed, on 4.4.2 the Perso_SHA_256 On and Off switches were removed, effectively patching this exploit. The solution is to downgrade your ROM from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 so you can access these functions. I have done the downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 and it does work, though you'll get the typical complaints about the bootloader and recovery not being SELinux enforcing. Just make sure to reinstall your 4.4.2 ROM afterward, though be aware that you may have to do it twice if your sound and WiFi fail to function, as they did on mine.

Now that I've explained how to get this to work, let me explain why it didn't work for me and what I eventually did to resolve my problem. If you wish to skip the rest of this post, feel free. What I've said up to this point should be sufficient to allow people to complete the task, providing a 4.2.2 ROM is available for the downgrade.

As mentioned, I did the downgrade to 4.2.2 to access the On and Off switches, but there was one big problem I could not overcome. According to what I understand of the process a SIM card local to the phone is required to be able to successfully complete the task. Being a US resident I didn't have one and couldn't get one. Not only that, but Samsung backported region locking to the Galaxy S4. Frustrated in my attempts to use this exploit to unlock the SIM I looked for an alternative, and I got lucky.

I had read through Chainfire's RegionLock Away thread and noticed that one of its side effects was it completely removing both the SIM lock and the region lock. So I downloaded it and ran it on 4.4.2. The app did what it was designed to do, but I was still being confronted with the SIM lock. Where luck comes into play was my looking on YouTube for videos on removing the SIM lock, as I was getting desperate and irritated. I found this video which used RegionLock Away to unlock the phone. However, the video isn't as important as the comments. In the comments were people from earlier this year trying to use this technique to remove the SIM lock, only to fail as I did. The video's author made one important point in response to one of the comments that I believe is being missed not only on this thread but the RegionLock Away thread as well, which is this.

You MUST downgrade to 4.2.2 or it won't work.

The reason why you have to downgrade is that the exploits which allowed both methods to work were patched. Without going into minuscule detail, I downgraded, which undoes the patches. I ran RegionLock Away, though the Service Menu method should also work with the downgrade. I confirmed that my Straight Talk SIM functioned in the phone. I then upgraded back to 4.4.2. I did have sound and WiFi problems that resolved themselves once I installed the 4.4.2 ROM a second time, and as of right now I have a fully functional unlocked I9505 running a Black Edition ROM (country code AUT).

Hope this works for you, and I'm sorry for being long-winded.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=615199]brooklynite[/MENTION]: Through Odin. Once on 4.2.2 the menus will appear on the dialer. If the service menu method doesn't work however, you can run RegionLock Away while still on 4.2.2 and it should unlock the phone. Personally, I think the RegionLock Away method is easier, with fewer opportunities for problems to occur, as it doesn't require mucking around in the service menu to do the work.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you're able to make calls but are getting no data, first check your APN. If the APN is set properly, flash the modem again, or flash the entire ROM again. As I mentioned upthread, I had sound and WiFi problems that weren't resolved until I flashed the ROM a second time. Data is another symptom of needing to flash a second time, but it's one I didn't have.

Hi Stephon...thanks for the help. Flashed the modem mentioned a couple of pages back and was ab;e to get into the UMTS menu, Sha256 Off line was there but halfway through I thought of just running the RegionLockAway app instead and it worked a treat!! S4 on 4.3 - locked on 3 Network Ireland finally unlocked. Great!!...Flashed to standard 4.4.2 afterwards and everything working fine. Thanks again to all on XDA for your knowledge and help.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I probably went into overkill mode in flashing the entire 4.2.2 ROM onto my S4 simply to unlock it. However, in my case it was beneficial. Had I simply installed the modem I never would have found out that the SIM lock had been restored. On 4.4.2 I had no indication that the SIM lock reset itself. The only indication I had that something was wrong was the signal strength meter being replaced by the no service icon (circle with a slash).

Once on 4.2.2, The SIM lock appeared. And once that appeared I actually tried the service menu, followed the prompts, couldn't get it to work correctly and said, "Screw this. I'm running RegionLock Away." Oddly, even after RegionLock Away the no service icon was still present in the notification bar. As I discovered, that was because the SIM card tray had failed. The chances of both the SIM lock reappearing and the SIM card tray failing were 1:1,000,000, but it happened to me. After replacing the tray, all was well. After that, I upgraded back to 4.4.2 and the SIM lock did NOT reappear.

I believe my issue was caused, in part, by using the service menu to unlock it. I may be mistaken here and I'm sure someone will be more than happy to correct me, but the service menu method rewrites the NV memory by tripping a flag (Perso SHA256). RegionLock Away blows away the locking mechanism entirely, from a different section of the phone, and doesn't touch NV memory at all. NV memory can get corrupted, and I believe that mine became corrupted due to experiments I had made in trying to add LTE bands to my I9505. During those experiments I was using QPST and QXDM to write to the phone, and I believe I destabilized the NV memory of the phone, eventually causing the SIM lock to return. The SIM card tray malfunctioning was merely a coincidence, though it did make things more difficult to diagnose. Google searches into resolving my problem revealed only one instance of an S4 owner with the same exact problem, and I don't believe he ever got his phone operational.
[Galaxy S 4 General] monteiro-ribas:
because samsung is always protecting their phones, you have to downgrade the modem to do the steps in the OP post

download and flash with Odin (put the file in the Phone option), after complete the unlock process revert to your original modem
