Buy the freegee app in the playstore (only a dollar), its by far the easiest way to unlock.. Make sure you're rooted first though

We always hear the bad in everything, and seldom the good. That being said, there are 100's if not 1000's of people that have rooted and unlocked successfully. But there is always that chance. That's why the disclaimers.
Here's some threads in case you get into trouble.

Yes I used freegee on two devices.. Its only a small percentage of devices that wouldn't work with the app. If by chance your device doesn't work, then you'll have to jump on irc to pick up a specially made version of freegee.. I believe autoprime has it.

Teeny bin 'LGNPST' search it.. It's a unbrick program but it can be used to unlock your lgog without dealing with bricks. Go from there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40169203

Yes you need to stop Knox for security specific apps.
Go to settings>general>security and check unknown sources , then uncheck verify apps. This is mainly for installing apps.
But since there's no real indication of what you have installed, and whats running. i'd do that first and go from there.
From what the masses say, its a root issue that has been fixed. SO yes, you have to be rooted to get rid of whatever you are trying to do.
Thanks ill do that.

Nothing will happen if you click OK. Just make sure to unlock your bootloader.

OK thanks for the link bro, but actually the version I told you about it the .apk file app for the mobile device, even though I appreciate the link cause now I'm gonna read it to learn some Odin for PC, but again do you know of any other guide for Mobile odin? And regarding my previous question, do you think I should click OK on mobile odin? Or you just don't know?
This is actually the mobile odin I'm talking about bro:

OK thanks I'll read both and get acquainted with them since i will be using them a lot. Also i was reading g the 1st post on the mobile odin post and the Tmo s4 is listed as a supported devices, so you said it is not or did you have a bad experience?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
Its supported but there were some things that couldn't be flashed with mobile ODIN so you had to use PC. Nothing that would brick your phone or anything.

You wont brick your phone by pressing OK lol. After you start using ODIN is on you. Just read the guides and make sure you do things the right way so you dont brick your phone. If you want to try out an awesome ROM, try Insane KitKat. It's a great ROM

Great thanks, I will read the guides but that would be tomorrow cause I'm falling asleep. And in regards to the ROM I will give it a try once I have everything figured out, now for the exposed thingy when I do a search for it to download it... should I search for "exposed" itself? Is that the app or is that the extra setting/add-ons?

Make sure you're on latest bootloader, compatible rom (tmo or 9505), flash compatible kernel if wifi issues.

I'm not going to walk you through all of that. Read the forums, there is plenty of info on how to backup flash custom roms.
