My device:

At&t Galaxy S4 (US)

4.2.2 (Google Play Version)

SGH-i337

Baseband: XXXXXXXXMF3

From What I understand, it can't be unlocked for t-mobile and whatnot. I've been searching around today for a couple hours, and doesn't look like there is a working method anymore

When trying through *#0011#, pressing "1" doesn't bring up a second menu; the menu stays the same.

Unlock codes won't work because device is Region locked (I'm in the US)...

That is what I found while searching around today...

Any advice would help. I can't for the life of me find a thread that fits my description. They're all just general gs4 unlock guides from months ago...

Looking around I couldn't find someone actually post this, so I asked. Sorry if its a repeat? :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jball:
So have you acquired the unlock code to know they don't work.

If you have a ATT phone you want Sim unlocked than the code you get from ATT will work if you want to use it with

T-mobile. (Same US region)

There is an app on playstore that will region unlock the phone but it is not a Sim unlock app.

You mind letting me know what you did, so I can copy your steps?

I'd much rather do that than following the generic guides...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jball:
I did the menu unlock and it was successful for me when I was on MDL.

I'm MF3 now and because I did it before it is permanently Sim unlocked.

Region lock away v1.0 on playstore.if the playstore don't bring it up than Google search it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Click Here To Win:
Yeah, I found out about that one...

It's not a SIM unlock though... So there isn't a way for me to unlock it yet that I've found.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jball:
You are rather confusing to me cause the sim and region unlock are the only two things you can unlock on this phone.if you have been talking about unlocking the bootloader than your heading is correct.

" NO UNLOCK FOR S4 "

now even if your bootloader was unlocked it has nothing to do with your sim or region and the ability to use it on a network that's in the same region as your phone currently.

Sorry not trying to sound confusing.

I'm trying to unlock my mf3 Galaxy s4 for t-mobile. in the US. Don't need region unlock. (unless this makes it work on tmobile in the US?)

I've trying unlocking the phone through ATT customer service, but they can't/won't.

That's all I know so far...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jball:
U mentioned something about the region.if your phone is the i337 ATT branded/model phone keep calling ATT and lie to them that you need the unlock code for your phone cause you plan on going out of the country on the coolest vacation ever and it is cheaper for you to acquire a foreign sim card and you need the code for the sim to work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SEscobedo:
I factory unlock phones as kind of a side job and all AT&T servers have changed their unlocking so it's extremely hard if not impossible to get the unlock through AT&T. You can still get a manufacturer unlock but it's pricey.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Click Here To Win:
Ok I'm not understanding this... So if I get Region Unlock from the google play store will it make me be able to use any SIM card inside US?

And also where can I find a manufacture unlock?

And If all else fails is there alternate options?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jball:
Its just a region unlock you still have to sim unlock it.

I understand now why its so hard for you to just call ATT for the unlock code cause its not your phone.there is no nifty little trick anymore . someone mentioned a way to mod the system to get the service menu back but it is work.GOOGLE/SEARCH

Every other way doesnt work for me...

Id much rather do it through att, but because of their new rules I cant.

Im fairly new to android, accustomed to the easy ios exploiting, so thats why I asked so many things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ChiAn:
I think if all else fails, you can just buy the unlock code.

I've been reading the unlock thread and it seems you can get "Unlock your Galaxy S4" by unlockunit from the play store to unlock it.

Haven't tried it personally as my phone is in the mail...but I'm hoping it is a non MF3 and easy to unlock phone.

A lot to hope for, I know :(

Has this app stopped working for anyone else here? I tried force closing, and clearing data. Also tried uninstalling and re installing the .apk.

Every time I try to launch it, I get a message that says "Unfortunately, News and Weather has stopped."

Haven't changed anything on the phone. It was working this morning, but when I tried it this afternoon, kept getting the error.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mofunzone:
yeah, i think we are having the same problem here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterNote:
News and Weather stops during startup

Likewise here in New Zealand on a Note 3. Fine last night, no good today. Have uninstalled, rebooted, tried several different apks now out there (1.3.11 being the newest) - all the same result. I sincerely hope this is a temporary thing, I depend on that app and really dislike the less flexible and more data-hungry alternatives like NewsHog.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ana.ban:
same here

exact same thing here. only "new" thing i could remember was a chrome update last night (could definitely be another thing.. jus sayin). now the news and weather app doesn't work just as you guys described. no amount of data clearing and reinstallation works on my ics. :( - vancouver

Having same difficulty here with an HTC One, Android version 4.3, HTC Sense 5.0, Software number 3.24.531.3, HTC SDK API level 5.45. Likewise, have tried Force Close, clearing Data, clearing Cache. Seems to work once phone is rebooted; text and the local wx/temp shows up. However, when I click on the Genie widget, I (1) first see a progress bar at the bottom of a plain black field, then (2) get the popup, "Unfortunately, News & Weather has stopped. (OK)."

Agreed, it's an invaluable app which came installed on my One. Please fix if possible. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mofunzone:
i think it has been fixed, at least on my nexus 4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] A4ko:
Not for me. Seems like Chrome update last night broke something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterNote:
All good now

Fixed here also now.

I had no Chrome update yesterday that I recall, and updated nothing today except for reinstalls of this app. If you think Chrome was the issue, maybe try winding its version back in app manager?

But I'm guessing it was unrelated, and therefore hopefully your app will come right also in the near future.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PtelMeas:
Yes, it's working fine as of this morning's reboot. Temporary glitch, apparently. Maybe related to "Google's server down" issue? Whatever it was...it's good to go now. Thanks! :)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shodex:
Oh man, I've really fudged this one up. So after some trial and error using the Nexus Root Toolkit, I managed to install Cyanogenmod on my Nexus 7 (2012, WiFi). But I feel like going back to stock, and using the NRT again I attempted this. I think all was going good when my power went out mid wiping. Now when I hold down the power button on my Nexus 7 nothing happens. It's plugged in right now, but my computer picked it up simply as "APX".

What can I do to repair a totally bricked Nexus 7? It was working fine earlier today, this problem is wholly on the software end. The NRT only works on devices that can turn off.

EDIT : Fixed, was out of battery...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TellaReese:
I don't have a nexus but I might be of help. I think the file you were flashing might have corrupted midway when your power went out. So what u need to do is get it out of your phone. Can your phone still go into recovery mode?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OffcerClancy:
APX = Done. Only solution: Get out your phone and call Asus for an RMA number.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shodex:
Thaaats what I figured, I called ASUS and got the RMA. Will they repair it after it's been messed with like that?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OffcerClancy:
They will not question it. What they will have is a device that cannot be turned on, booted into bootloader, or charged. As a result, they will not be able to access any "incriminating" circumstances and left w/only replacing the motherboard and possibly the battery. Don't worry; it will come back good as new.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] captainbadger:
Hi all,

Successfully reflashed my Xperia U with CM9-ZIII. It looks pretty awesome and runs about 10 times faster than before. Nice work.

However I get this error message: "TeslaUnread rejecting unofficial 'Nova Launcher' Please uninstall it and install only the official version."

I have TeslaUnread version 2.3 (as in ROM)

When I try and update NovaLauncher I see "Error. Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again."

Am I the only one that's seeing this? Why am I seeing this? How do I uninstall and reinstall Nova Launcher?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] venkatamanikumar:
This happens if U install Nova Launcher Prime out of PlayStore and Tesla works only for Nova launcher prime..

Check whether you have downloaded NovaPrime launcher from googleplay or installed form sd card..

If from SDCARD, no solution..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] captainbadger:
Well that was the thing I didn't install Nova Prime it seemed to come with the ROM image. Perhaps its an older version? It would be good if the ROM builder could reply.

The solution I eventually found:

Install a different launcher from Play Store. I chose Apex.

Install a file manager app. I think ES File Manager was the one I picked.

Using the file manager tool delete \system\apps\Nova.apk

Restart and download Nova Launcher free version.

TeslaUnread doesn't work with Nova Launcher free. I think it will if you install another widgets manager or something. I haven't got that far yet.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] venkatamanikumar:
Well. Now u got that...

I dont think whether it will support for other launchers...

I'm getting a bit miffed with the exec constantly connecting to 3G or GPRS without prompting.

Every time I forget to close Internet Explorer, come off the WIFI at work and come home to find (2 hrs later) it has connected to 3G for all this time and worse still has loaded the f*** o2pda.co.uk page and 50, 000 nasty images.

Can I disable 3G/GPRS completely? And toggle it manually when I do need it? Which is hardly ever given the cost ...

Gubbs
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gubbs:
Uhm sorry to answer my own question but ..

If you go to Start > System > GPRS Settings and change it from PAP to CHAP it can't connect anymore.

Handy to turn off the bloody expensive self-dialling when idle internet access.

BTW: Does anyone else find this extremely annoying or is it just me?

I think o2 are going to get told to f*** themselves if I get a whopping data bill this month.

If you don't even include the ability to turn the feature off how can you charge for it?

Its like a credit card that will, in lieu of any genuine spending activity, log on to ebay and buy you a half dozen mint condition copies of Heffner: The Official Biography and some oversized German trench wellies from WW1.

Bloody marvelous that!

I a installing ARHD...

So I am coming from 13.4 to 31.0... do I need to wipe the stuff in Aroma or can I go without wiping?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
I advice you to full wipe all for a clean install and you won't have any issue.

However, backup your contacts, sms and other stuff you need before the full wipe.

p.s. Your sd won't be touched.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharliesTheMan:
I'm with this guy^^

Definitely wipe it. And it's good to have things backed up anyway. Once you get used to making your backups you can do a full wipe and rom install really quickly, I do them daily when I'm testing or trying out new builds.

My contacts are in google (gmail) and sync when I sign in at the setup screen, I backup and restore sms/mms and I use titanium backup for my user apps, but google installs most of my apps when I sign in. I also copy my entire sdcard storage over to a folder on my computer about every month or so, just in case something happens. I just select the whole thing, drag and drop it into it's own folder on my PC's hard drive.

We all have different methods, just gotta use a method thats best for you to make restoring after an install easy.

On a sidenote: With a jump in versions like that will you be installing different firmware? I dunno that it's required but if you are then you will get a slightly different answer.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
Isn't required, but is better upgrade also the firmware, because it's optimized for the new base :)

tried rooting my tmobils SIII, followed the guide. Odin said it was successful in rooting, rebooted, then when i tried to run SU or ES file explorer to look in root permission needing folders, it says not rooted. i try to get into download mode to try again and after the samsung logo comes up and i let go of the keys it reebots after a few seconds into normal mode. any help?

Hold home and volume down until you see the download mode come up.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Does it keep rebooting over and over?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nhyrum:
It does not. it will reboot once after it tries to boot in download mode, the goes into normal boot. Does cwm have a download mode? i can get into CWM recovery, so if CWM doesent have a download mode i think that would explain it. how would i finish the root if it didnt fully root?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If you can get CWM recovery, just flash the SuperSU package. You can find the thread with a quick search, but the files are available through my Sig. Or you could flash any of our roms as they already have root.

That is odd though...
