Hi all,
I wondered, did anybody here try this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683 (the i9505 method) to sim unlock, on the mini yet?
I am getting my mini today and want to unlock it.
Would anybody be able to tell me if the mini has the golden backup as well?
What are the risks of performing an NV rebuild? if i brick the phone, would anybody know an unbrick method for this kind of brick?
Thanks,
raph
It didn't work for me at all!
Is the unlock even possible?

It is possible with special tools (for example Z3X box, NS Pro...) pay someone to unlock S4 mini no free unlock...
yes, unlock code works.

so next steps are useless so far.

Unfortunately, permanently locked means PERMANENTLY locked.
As far as I know there is no way to reset it.

I'll bet he bought the phone used, and someone who didn't realize that entering a code too many times locks the phone did just that, and he's kind of screwed now

Your best bet is to sell the phone, but specify that it's locked to whichever company its locked to (don't do what whoever you bought it from did to you!), OR change carriers. Based on your English I'm worried that you might not have that option though.

I've just gotten a T-Mobile S4, I've already tried the easy unlocking instructions with no luck. If I install one of the custom ROMs on the phone will this automatically unlock it so that I can use it with another carrier's sim card?
No
There's places only that you can get unlock code for cheap. Like $5-$10
You don't need an unlock code. There are guides here to do it for free

You can only unlock the phone via code. You cannot use the free unlock method.

I am not talking about the free unlock method, I am looking for a cheap online website that I can get an unlock code from.
I would search ebay for cheap codes. Places like mobileincanada.com are very reliable and reputable but not cheap. Telus phones should be cheaper than Bell.
I've used fastgsm.com in the past to unlock Samsung phones for 15 USD. They unlock via software and it is permanent.

I am on this stock rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
The ROMs are stock other than being pre-rooted. I'm not sure if you will get prompted to enter the unlock code.
You could try a non-Telus sim to see what happens. Just don't enter a code so you retain all unlock attempts before hardlocking the phone.

Ouch. Are both phones on 4.3? Mobileincanada.com is very good and reliable. Type in your imei and it'll give you the cost to unlock via code.

Hey guys,
I bought a G925T and gonna have to use it in Brazil (with a brazilian sim card carrier).
Do you know how can I unlock the phone?
I'm reading here in XDA that is not possible to unlock the T-Mobile S6 Edge.
Anybody knows somenthing about that?
thank you!
To unlock the t-mobile phone you have to call the t-mobile costumer service and request them to add your imei to their white list. Then you have to go to the unlock app and push permanent unlock. You have to be connected to internet using the t-mobile network to make the unlock work.
Can be unlocked by usb cable now also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxOuHIUWAFk

yes can be done for 5.1.1 ,by imei only ,basically the method is and unlock on tmobile server,so it will work to unlock using the tmobile unlock app. This service can be considered maybe a bit more official as that presented in the video above,even if the results are the same,only problem is a bit more expensive

Hey bro just wanted to say that please be careful. If the customer updates to version 5.1.1, the phone will not boot beyond the Samsung Logo, this happens only IF you're still tampering with the EFS. There are a few methods on how to unlock them now without affecting the phone....just wanted to inform you if you were still doing it via efs...

Hmm, I think I know who unlocked your phone in that case. Well the only way will be to update OTA, to do that your phone must be on STOCK firmware, no root. To do that flash over the firmware (system partition), when you do you can update OTA. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. You need to ask the person who unlocked your phone for your EFS Backup, this is important in case things go wrong.

Oh ok, if it's through z3x then you're fine. They don't tamper with EFS. Though I would still HIGHLY RECOMMEND to ask for your efs backup, trust me on this. I'm new to this forum, but I am a little familiarized with phones

Guide is reliable it is from the magisk developer itself.
I haven't tried it.
As long as you are able to do a full backup or know a way to fully restore you may try to root!
The problem with this device is that you cannot sideload w/o a Huawei Memory Card ?
