HOW TO SIM UNLOCK THE SGH-M919, no unlock code necessary.
This thread is for all of you that have tried this method and have failed: How to SIM unlock Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919 (tested - works) - Updated: 7/2/13
EDIT: I'm sorry to say that after testing this method out on a replacement s4 running stock 4.3 with the MK2 bootloader, this method DOES NOT WORK ON 4.3 OTA OR MK2 BOOTLOADER
The previous method worked on Samsung devices running the old firmware and was patched by T-Mobile and Samsung in the M919UVUAMDL release. Many new (purchased in the last few months) devices have been known to have this release pre-installed.
This is not my work, it is chainfire's genius. You must, at the very least, go and give him the "Thanks". If you can, donate a beer.
His app "RegionLockAway" was intended to de-regionlock devices that Samsung had marketed as "unlocked" (i9505, N9005, etc).
However, a common side-effect for other carrier-branded variants was that it unlocked their devices as well. I tried it and it worked on my SGH-M919 that I bought from T-Mobile.
TO UNLOCK THE M919,
1. Make sure that you are on the completely stock touchwiz setup that came with the phone (bootloader, kernel, and stock touchwiz rom). You can restore via kies/odin here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628. Again, thank the developer if you used it.
2. Install RegionLockAway Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470551
3. Thank the developer, even if it doesn't work.
4. Run the RegionLockAway app and click "Region Unlock"
5. Follow all onscreen instructions carefully.
6. Reboot and test it out with preferably a non-North American SIM. This ensures that not only is it unlocked, but also region unlocked. If it asks you for a code, it failed.
As a standard disclaimer:
If you bricked it, it's your fault. I tried it on my own and it worked for me.
As always, I highly recommend donating to the developers who helped you.
First time first! Thanks for this info. I themed chain fire as well

region unlock and sim unlock aren't the same as far as I know.
You can use sims outside of your region (country) but you can't slap an at&t sim card in there and use it.

No they are not BUT they're closely related that doing one usually result in the other. RegionLockAway will SIM unlock when use correctly. I used it a few months ago to SIM unlock my GS4. After it was done I put in an AT&T SIM and made a few calls plus try a few websites.

Like I said, SIM unlock is usually a side effect of Region-unlocking.

Haha can't argue with you there.
There's some talks about Nolan Ryan joining the Astros in some capacity soon. Hopefully he can get them in the right directions.

Was you rooted when tried the program? I tried it and it said that wasn't able to gain root access and bumped me to homescreen... I am not rooted and on Stock 4.3.3

T-Mo gave me an "Unlock code" and it was from Sammy, and it would not work. After 3 tries, each with a different code, it still would not work, so I gave up.
Today using chainfire's app, it works, and I insert an At&T sim card, and it doesn't ask for the code anymore! it's UNLOCKED, and it recieves a signal and connects to the internet via my wireless router. All's good and after placing my T-Mo sim back in, it's all good!
All the connections still like it used to be.
Awesome!
I just called tmobile they provide me with unlock code.

I had updated to the 4.3 firmware before unlocking and T-Mobile's unlock code didn't work on my phone. This was my only recourse and it worked. Thanks, OP!

Is it absolutely necessary to be on stock firmware? I gave it a try running VirginRom and it seems to have worked, but I don't have a sim from another carrier to test with.

Does it matter what version OS you are on? Just get a sim card from AT&T and plop it in. Course you'll need the code to unlock it...
I did it a couple Days ago.
Went back one baseband to the one before UVALL. Something K8? Did the menu trick and then back to UVALL.
The baseband are flashable from CM. Didn't have to revert to 4.1.1

You messed up by upgrading!!! You lost your unlock and can't get it back!!!!!
Just kidding Once you unlock, you're unlocked for good. You can flash as many ROM's, kernels, or modems you want.
No need to fear, you're good to go :victory: Enjoy your trip!!

Well the moment of truth will reveal itself when I pop in that international sim card. (otherwise I have to use my iphone....)

Not so simple anymore. T-Mobile used to be very good about unlocking, but they recently changed their policy.
They require 18 months on the last contract before issuing a code. So you don't unlock and run, I suppose.
Personally, that's my signal to run.
Having been a loyal customer for over 13 years, and fulfilled half a dozen contracts despite unlocks, I'd appreciate a little trust.
But there is no loyalty in this world. So hack and root and run it is.
(I'll recoup the early termination fees in 3-4 months)

I don't know if its the easiest way but there is a way to "dual boot" a rom installed on the SD card which gets around knox. Then you could run 4.2.x and do the debug menu unlock.
Alternatively try this as it has worked for some people, including my GF with an AT&T S4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470551
I found someone on craigslist who unlocked my s4 for $20, the imei shows as unknown but everything is working good.
Thanks for your help tho.

Have you tried RegionLockAway app? Outside of that you could try buying a code online.

If your phone came with 4.3 already installed from T-Mobile or you took the official ota then you are out of luck as far as downgrading is concerned. Are yu any of tthose? if so, you will have to buy an unlock code from an online unlocker like FastGSM

I am looking to use a T-Mobile N3 on AT&T LTE in USA (for unlocked bootloader so I can use custom ROM). Is this possible? Are there any nuances of the phone/connectivity that would not work? Is it as simple as putting my AT&T sim in the phone? Sorry, not too tech savvy. Thanks
I'm using my T-Mobile Note 3 with ATT right now. If I remember correctly I just popped in the SIM and it worked. This is after I set it up with a T-Mobile card, though, and I may have unlocked before using the ATT card.
Now I have it rooted too, everything is fine.
EDIT: sorry I forgot to mention I also changed the APN settings after putting in the ATT card. I think you have to do that too. Bookmonke in his better response below has the link with the info.
NOW FOR A HIJACK:
I want Google Wallet to work, so I think I need to upgrade to KitKat.
Any suggestions as to which ROM to use on this phone that is both KitKat and will work best with ATT?
Also I guess I will have to install TWRP or Clockwork, and thus 'trip Knox' whatever that means. Should I care? I'm not going to return the phone at this point.

The Knox feature is about security which will no longer operate if tripped. It can also mean the loss of warranty for your device. As for roms check the developer roms to see which one's offer the features you want.

If your phone is SIM unlocked but region locked, RegionLock Away will unlock your phone. If it is SIM locked in addition to being region locked, RegionLock Away can't do anything for you on its own. There's two different locks in play here. If regular unlock methods didn't work (including paid methods of entering in the code), RegionLock Away should finish getting rid of the lock.

If you're on a custom rom, and you're on 4.3, you do not have access to the service menus. You need to be on a stock Samsung rom and on 4.2.2.
When I'm talking about paid codes, I'm talking about the unlocker services online that require you to tell them your IMEI, not the RegionLock away app.
Ok, so rnd 2 happened last night. I reverted back to 4.2.2 via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628but yet again i cant make calls. So now what can be wrong?

I would have thought the stock MDL firmware would have also reverted the modem to MDL. I suggest finding one that does (re-ODIN this one first - I recall a few people said they had to do it twice) , as possibly both the ROM and Modem need to be MDL for the unlock process to work.
OK. You have to be completely stock in order for this to work. I am not sure why you are getting a fail message on Odin. Can you maybe give us a description of how you are doing it? The Sim unlock thread clearly says you have to be completely stock which will be android version 4.22 with MDL. You are back on 4.22 but you still have the mk2 modem. We will have to figure out how to get you completely stock before we can go any further.

Go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=14362 and download the 4.22 file for M919. The link should go directly to it. Follow their instructions and you should be completely stock one you're done. Once your done be sure to test your device and make sure you have sound. If you don't have sound you most likely have a hardware problem so you will have to root again and reset your counter then unroot so you can return your device if you haven't voided your warranty. If you do have sound then go back here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283068 and Sim unlock your phone and profit. Good luck!
