How To SIM Unlock Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 For Free | Redmond Pie http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-sim-unlock-samsung-galaxy-s4-gt-...
2 / 10
Having a network locked device can really hamper how you use it, especially if the network isnt of your choice. While most of the times, the operator in
question would let you unlock your device for a small fee, not everyone might be that lucky. Imagine a scenario where youre travelling abroad and want
to use another networks SIM card, only to discover that you cannot thanks to a carrier lock. Unlocking can really save you from quite a few hassles and
tight spots.
As a rule, you can get almost any device unlocked by paying a small fee directly to the carrier, or to several online services that would let you purchase
an IMEI unlock. However, in my personal experience, nothing beats the feeling of doing such a process yourself, and save those precious bucks in the
process. Samsung, generally, has been more relaxed towards letting its users carry out a network/SIM unlock on their devices on their own, provided they
knew the right steps to follow. Earlier, we brought you a tutorial on how to carrier unlock Samsung Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II fairly easily without
any specialized tool. Today, well guide you through unlocking of the new flagship from Sammy, Galaxy S4 GT-I9505.
Before we proceed, please be advised that the usual disclaimer applies. Playing around the carrier lock is risky business, and more complicated than your
average Android modding. Follow these instructions at your own perusal. Redmond Pie cannot be held liable for any loss whatsoever resulting from
following this method. Also, this method applies to GT-I9505 only, and not to other variants of Galaxy S4.
Step 1: Launch the Phone app on your Galaxy S4, and dial in: *#0011#
Step 2: Press the Menu button followed by the Back key. Then, hit the Menu button again and select KEY INPUT. Enter 1 and press the OK button to
enter ServiceMode.

Step 6: Youll get three options. Hit the one that says [3] PERSO SHA256 OFF.
Step 7: Now, you need to get back to Main Menu. To do this, hit the Menu button followed by the Back key. In Main Menu, now pick [6]COMMON, and
then [6] NV REBUILD.

Step 8: The phone will tell you that a Golden Backup exists. Tap [4] Restore Back-up.
Your device will now go through a series of conditions, where it will first freeze, then get on a black screen with Blue LED on and both capacitive
buttons on, after which it will reboot automatically. The whole cycle might take a couple of minutes, so be patient. Once it powers back on, its network
unlocked, permanently. Enjoy!
Thanks, Caesar for the hat tip!

I am having problems when I get to the "Network Lock" menu. For some reason, I do not see
this option: "[3] PERSO SHA256 OFF". Please help!

I have the same issue as Sofia. Most instructions are based on using the unlock prior to it
actually locking up, not once it is in a lock mode.

I have tried and it doesnt work on my GT-i9505. In the second step when i press back, it
doesnt go to the service menu, it just stays all the time in the first screen. Is there any other
way withouth rooting the phone?
