So I followed the Casual script to unlocked/flash my Verizon for Pageplus. I have already ported the Verizon number to Pageplus. I followed the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...6#post42791826
Step 1. Root- Success
Step 2. Flash Insecure Aboot- Sucess
Step 3. Flash Recovery of your choice- installed TRWP -Success
Phone rebooted into TRWP
1. I choose reboot, then system to restart my Galaxy S III
Then I get messages
1. Mobile network not available (it has the correct MEID)
2. A SIM card is necessary to operate this phone. - the Tap-tap method on the language screen doesn't work. I don't see "emergency call."
As a newbie, I don't have the minimum post to ask these questions on the above thread. What do I need to do? Wife came home and it's her phone that I ported from Verizon to Pageplus and is on my case! Thanks!
After u fix the problem trow this in the list CRAP I MEESED UP ON AND SHE WNT FORGET ABOUT IT
sorry im of no help

Method 1 (rooted)
The easiest way you can use RegionLockAway for those on MK2 is to do this:
I did this on the stock MK2 ROM stock.
Since no one either bothered to look in the same forum for the modem thread here is a link to the modems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496517
1. Root the phone on Stock MK2.
2. Download and install Safestrap.
3. Download MF3 modem.
4. Install the modem using Safestrap from the stock rom slot (what I did)
5. Reboot the phone, go to settings, and confirm you are on the MF3 modem. (this will not affect KNOX or bootloader)
6. Run RegionLockAway 1.3
7. Shut the phone down and insert any other carrier sim and turn the phone on, or leave the sim in after installing the MF3 modem, bypass the code unlock screen and then run RegionLockAway 1.3
8. Reboot and you should see it activate your carrier.
9. You can also flash back to MK2 if you like. (optional)
I can confirm it worked and the T-Mobile sim was accepted. There was no invalid sim prompt or unlock code prompt after doing this. I even flashed back to the MK2 modem and it still stayed unlocked.
Unfortunately the person I got the phone from had reported it stolen and when it went to activate on T-mobile is threw up the MM#6 code meaning the phone can't be activated due to bad IMEI. Apparently the guy who sold it to me assured me it would work on AT&T and everything was good. I had the phone maybe 5 days and after unlocking it later found out he reported it stolen. So yes I got scammed. Luckily I only paid $100 for the AT&T GS4. However for being honest on craigslist that I had a beautiful AT&T GS4 with Bad IMEI I was able to get $250 for the phone from a guy who fixes these problems...and that's all I will say to that. So now I have a Galaxy Note 1.
For those on KitKat 4.4 NB1 Here is more info from DroidDonX

Downgrade from NB1 to MK2, and SIM Unlock SUCESSFUL!!
I got the CSC error too, but to get around that you have to flash the (modem) by flashing the CSC tar in ODIN. You should of got in the MK2 ODIN firmware folder.
It should say this:

Method 2 (posted by muniz_ri)
Alternatively, I337 owners can flash the MDL modem via Odin to re-gain access to the hidden menu(links to signed, odin flashable modems below) then follow the guide in the OP to unlock your phone. Once completed you can re-flash the MK2 modem. I tested this process on my own stock i337 running stock MK2 and it works but follow at your own risk. Also, my knox warranty flag has been tripped for a long time so I don't know if flashing the MDL modem will trip the flag or not. Someone else can chime in on that. Cheers:

NewToGalaxy said:
Try this and let me know, BTW this works on SGH-I337 S4 on 4.4.2 Kit Kat w/ stock ROM and NC1 Modem:
1. Download and install the following programs, but do not open them: Regionlock Away v1.3, towelroot v3, BusyBox Free v1.22.1 and Terminal Emulator and Safestrap v3.72. You should also obtain a MF3 modem flash .zip and place it on your internal storage "sdcard" or external storage, just remember where it is. I believe you can have any SIM card that is an unauthorized carrier in your phone at this time. That is of course if you want to unlock your SIM. I personally did not do this but my friend did it and I have read in the XDA forums that you can do this in theory if you so desire.
2. I placed all of the apps mentioned in this post into a single folder for ease of access.
3. Open towelroot and click "make it ra1n."
4. Upon completion, your device should be rooted, no reboot is necessary at this time (takes 5-10 seconds MAX).
5. Your device is now rooted, now download and install SuperSU. Open it and give any program you run from here on out access by clicking "grant" upon opening.
6. Open BusyBox Free v1.22.1 and let it run until complete, I let it complete the smart install but you can click on "install" at the bottom if you want. (don't know if this is required, I just read about it on one of the xda forums or a YouTube video out there somewhere, at any rate, I had heard that you can run it and install everything that needs to be installed and I had heard that you will obtain your overall objective of unlocking your phone. :angel: Let an expert elaborate on this one...
7. Download and install Root Checker Basic. Open it and click on "verify root." You should see some text in green that states, "Congratulations! This device has root access!" You just verified you have root :victory:
8. Open Terminal Emulator and type "su" (but no quotations "", so just type su), then press enter/return.
9. This should give Terminal Emulator root access via SuperSU. Now type "setenforce 0" (again, without "", so just setenforce 0 and press enter/return).
10. You just allowed your device to open Safestrap without automatically crashing if you didn’t complete step 9. (step 9 must be accomplished every single time you wish to open Safestrap or when ever you seek to boot into Safestrap Mode. I made it a habit to type this in every time I turn on/reboot my device. Let’s hope one of the devs can come up with something to fix this so it is automated and we don’t have to physically type this in every time) *hint* *hint*
11. Now that you opened Safestrap, click on "Install Recovery." If I remember correctly, it will require you to boot upon completion of the installation. Don't remember but if it makes you reboot though, but when you first turn on your phone it will say that Safestrap is disabled and you can either enter "recovery" or "continue." If it does reboot and you get this, just click "continue" to boot normally. At this time, complete step 9 then open Safestrap and click on "reboot to recovery."
Alternate Option 11A. For whatever reason, if you did not reboot your device after clicking "install recovery," upon completion of installing Safestrap, click on "reboot to recovery." You have to click this every time you wish to reboot into Safestrap Recovery Mode. (I could be mistaken but this is the method I use to reboot into recovery each time) Check out my name, I am new to the Galaxy scene.
12. Now that you are in Safestrap, click on "Mount."
13. Mount the storage device you put the MF3 modem on by checking "System" if it is stored on the internal memory (example sdcard\download) or "Micro SDcard" if it is saved to your external Micro SD Card.
14. Back out of that screen and go to main scree in Safestrap.
15. Click on "Install."
16. Click on the actual .zip file for the MF3 Modem Flash file mentioned previously. This will flash your modem from NC1 to MF3.
17. :victory: Congrats, you now have an MF3 Modem.
18. Go to main screen in Safestrap. Click on "Reboot," then "System."
I stopped here on my device, but what my friend did on her device, she went on to unlock her SIM in the following steps. I have not done this and I cannot confirm this, maybe someone else can. But from reading threads on XDA, this in theory should work.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, for the 19th step, In case you missed the first step to place your unauthorized SIM in your phone, no fear, this is the time when you absolutely have to have it If you wish to unlock your SIM. In theory you can elect to open RegionLock Away and then click on "Region Unlock." I cannot confirm this for I have NOT done this but I have read that your device will reboot or you should reboot at this time. Your device should boot up normally, aside from the screen that says Safestrap is disabled in which you must click on "Continue" to boot normally or wait 10 seconds to boot normally. You should in theory have an unlocked SIM and now have access said network once your device boots up. If it did not work, Re-read this entire 19th step and the 2nd time around you should be good to go.
I hope this worked for you. I cannot confirm anything past the 18th step but in theory it should work for you. Let me know. :cyclops::cyclops:

Did this method last night. Worked like a charm. Tested my T-Mobile sim and all is good
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This definitely works!! Thanks
Glad I can help. I was out of options since the unlock code I paid for was a bust.I wish I knew the phone had a bad IMEI. However my experiment worked and now can help others from having to pay for an unlock on MK2.
Anyone else if it worked post here. This should be stickied lol!!

Where to get these files? I have the stock MD5 modem for MF3. It can't be flashed using SafeStrap can it? Thanks
edit: I found the RegionLockAway 1.3 ... but cannot flash the Modem files from SafeStrap. I must have the wrong file format. It errors out on me with 3.71 SS.
Would this work on i337m. I know it would be a different modem but would i be able to.

I don't know about the i337M because I never had one. I can only speak for the i337 AT&T. If the current firmware you're on does not work with regionlockaway, then you may have to flash a modem that regionlockaway will work on.

You cannot use ODIN if you are on the MK2 firmware. Just flash back to MK2 modem after you perform the unlock.

Safestrap has nothing to do with the unlock. Safestrap gives you the ability to "safely" flash modems lower then MK2 on the MK2 firmware (if that is what you are on). The app that does the actual work is regionlockaway 1.3. This is a permanent unlock.
This also worked for me. Great Post!
Simple and easy, decided to finally unlock today very smooth. Thanks for the hard work

I believe for some it has better download speeds. Far as I know it also connects better to wifi. You can flash modems at will rooted and on safestrap to see which one works for you

Big thanks! Worked perfectly!
If you're going to T-mobile be sure you turn on roaming and reset your APN to help data connection...I also had to go in and edit the APN and change the Bearer setting to LTE (it was on unknown on default for some reason),...at least that helped me
Any reason to keep safestrap or regionlock on my phone after doing all this?

Samsung Galaxy Prevail LTE appears to be a clone of this device (according to specs and even the overall appearance)
I will have it as a test subject and verify if the method works for it as well.
Are there any custom Roms for the Galaxy Core Prime like CM11 or CM12? Verizon.

Can anyone confirm if iRoot also works for SM-G360H/DS (Dual sim)? Thanks in advance
Got it to work for:

SM-G360HU/DS
1. Download Odin 3.9
2. Go to recovery (and so on)
3. Flash this tar using ODIN to fix access: G360H-root-kernel
4. Boot.
5. Then use any rooter like iRoot or Root Genius or Root Master or Kingo Root.
6. enjoy!
I followed the Odin process then used Iroot.It took me less than 5minutes to root my SM-G360H prime.Fan freakin tastic dude.

Enable "OEM Unlock" in developer settings. Also enable USB debugging in developer settings. Before flashing!

Read the guide below for more detailed instructions.
Solutions to common problems are at the near bottom of this post.

Detailed how to guide, thanks to NotGrump903:
Code:
[QUOTE="NotGrump903, post: 0"]I wrote a little guide on how to root Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo SM-G903F with this new CF-Autoroot files.
Should work with SM-G903M too, you just need to download the file for the M variant.
Note that this will trip KNOX to 0x1! You, and only you, are responsible for what you do with your device.
When something goes wrong no one from XDA can held responsible. Do this at your own risk!
First make sure you have the latest Samsung USB drivers.
Then simply follow these steps:
1. Download the CF-Autoroot zip file for your phone from [URL="https://download.chainfire.eu/779/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-s5neolte-s5neoltexx-smg903f.zip"]here for G903F[/URL] or [URL="https://download.chainfire.eu/780/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-s5neolte-s5neolteub-smg903m.zip"]here for G903M[/URL]
2. Extract it to desired location.
3. Enable USB debugging and OEM-Unlock in developer options of S5 Neo.
If you don't know how to do this or what this is,
you should most probably stop right here and leave your phone as it is ;)
4. Open Odin.exe from extracted folder.
5. Power down your phone and boot into download mode by pressing and holding Vol. down + Home + Power.
Confirm by pressing Vol. Up.
6. Connect your phone to your PC and wait for Odin to state "added".
7. Click on AP button and select "CF-Auto-Root-s5neolte-s5neoltexx-smg903f.tar.md5"
8. Wait for Odin to finish binary check, then simply press start and wait.
The phone should restart a few times. When this is done you're rooted!

3. Enable USB debugging and OEM-Unlock in developer options of S5 Neo. If you don't know how to do this or what this is, you'll most probably should stop right here and leave your phone as it is
4. Open Odin.exe from extracted folder.
5. Power down your phone and boot into download mode by pressing and holding Vol. down + Home + Power. Confirm by pressing Vol. Up.
6. Connect your phone to your PC and wait for Odin to state "added".
7. Click on AP button and select "CF-Auto-Root-s5neolte-s5neoltexx-smg903f.tar.md5"
8. Wait for Odin to finish binary check, then simply press start and wait.
The phone should restart a few times. When this is done you're rooted!
All props go to @Chainfire for providing Supersu and CF-Autoroot. He is simply the best!
OP updated.
Thanks for suggestions and all.

Can you please write that you MUST enable OEM unlock to being able to flash these files.
If you don't enable OEM unlock you will get a FAP lock and it will end up in failure of flashing
2.nd is to not "relock" the oem unlock since if you might trigger something that tries to boot into a "custom" recovery it will stay on boot loop into a "FAP" binary info on S5 Neo Screen

I have disabled OEM unlock after flash of the root.
No problems, with such thing. Its still off.
But good to know there might be a danger.

Little back story
How I noticed this
Used root tools and re disabled OEM unlock.
Tested to create a backup with flashfire and it failed and got me stuck on s5 neo with custom recovery binary FAP lock message
Ended up power down phone upon powering up same thing happened booting into stock recovery worked but didn't help not even if I wiped cache or factory reset.
Ended up in restoring whole system to make it work again.
So don't re lock the OEM unlock option it will end up bad if you try to do even if you don't have a custom recovery yet.
Thnx for writing the guide!

G903M DS work?

According to:
https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
you have to use another file for G903M. Should work however.
It is called try at your own risk proceed with caution. It isn't ment for your device and might render some stuff useless. Chainfire haven't made one specific for m variant but it might work.
Again you try it with your own risk. Chainfire doesn't being held responsibility for your actions.

I thought the question is, that there are 2 variants of G903M, one is with dual sim (DS) one is without. I guess.
And there is root for M variant too.
Just check the OP again. Or chainfire. It was there since F.
EDIT: or the M means DS and thats the difference between those neo variants? Im not sure here xD
EDIT2: Yeah, then I guess all g903M are dual sim. http://www.phonemore.com/compare/ph...mds-vs-samsung-galaxy-s5-neo-sm-g903f/2917321
Then nvm I guess.

Will ROOTING my SM-G903F allow me to remove Region Lock?
Hi everyone, and first of all thanks for providing this information!
I just got my S5 NEO, and unfortunately found out that it was Region Locked, so I am not able to use it with my local SIM.
My only interest in rooting the device at this time is to remove the region lock.
So naturally, my question is, will rooting actually allow me to do this?
Would really appreciate a clarification on this!
Thanks guys!

Well, I know there were some files for unlock, flashable by ODIN, way before root. Also lots of users reporting success. It was on gsm hosting forums, but now all I can find is this: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f94...laxy-s5-neo-fast-safe-unlockunit-com-1992423/
Maybe they removed it, to sell that service.
But anyway, you can try doing it over https://chimeratool.com/ they got a trial you can use, if you already didnt use it. They should also provide unlock.
But I have no idea if it will work or not, so do it on your own risk. Root shouldnt be needed.
Also dont forget to enable "OEM unlock" and USB Debugging.
But really at your own risk.

Why not http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470551 if it's region locked ?

Thanks for the replies guys, but I ended up purchasing an IMEI unlock code for $29 and that did the trick.
Got it from "Unlock Base"... great service and fast delivery in case anyone else is interested!
Good luck to everyone else with this problem!
I've found that "speedhack" apps like "Xmodgames" and "Oozhushou" don't work on my rooted SG5 Neo. Does anyone know how to fix this? I can't find any solution and I barely have any programming knowledge.
Does anyone know if this works on a Canadian SM-G903W (G903WVLU1AOJ9) with Android 5.1.1 ?
Thanks!

Hello everyone
Here is new method to root all Samsung devices,twrp not needed.
First you need to download EFTSU tool: https://mega.nz/file/34lDEBqB#7mSv2SeYKP2kReheBk7q5AU582TZUdsJy6GL5sd7O-I
Then you need file from this website where you can find for your device and download it : https://eftsu.com/
After you downloaded this file put your samsung device in download mode *need oem unlock* then flash your file with eftsu tool.
Your device will reboot it and it will during boot ask to reset ,then reset it.
When it comes to system you need to download and install eftsu manager: https://mega.nz/file/Oo1yCSiQ#rWlMbcBiBHSzv5oMioyGxQZ0ynxqaeqz_Nfm4ze240c
And you are done.
You can also install root checker to see if it rooted.

I have note10 plus SM-N975U Snap dragon that has the OEM toggle missing and tried everything to make it appear but no luck and without that i can't install anything or unlock the bootloader......Any tools or ideas to overcome my situation?
if no oem in developer option than you have to wait for 7 days .
Hello! I want to root my Samsung Galaxy A01 with firmware A015MUBS3ATL8, I found all the files that I should download, but no way to unlock the bootloader, I did all the guides and when it asks me for confirmation on the bootloader screen to unlock it, I affirm and the phone is formatted and it reboots, but when re-entering the bootloader it is still blocked
Sorry for my bad English, I'm using Google Translate
Please help.
My phone is SM-G955F with Exynos processor. Hungarian XEH code. The latest PIE is running on it. OEM does not allow unlocking. The slider can be turned on, but it also turns off immediately after enabling. What can I do to make OEM resolution work?
Thank you.

I have a samsung galaxy j4 +
I got it from a friend today.
The phone is after a hard reset (some dumbass did it)
Unfortunately, there is no access to google accounts because the accounts were from her husband and he died.
I keep searching and trying but can't root. Because Debug Usb doesn't go on.
And the computer doesn't read the phone after all.
Yes, I have drivers installed, various Odins, I also took your EFTSU, Fastboot and I do not read my phone anywhere. Nothing else is just loading.
Yup i trying Hard reset many many times...

try to frp unlock your phone,you have here on xda tuts how to do it,just search for it.
what do you mean nothing happened?
I can't unlock the OEM with either method.
did you follow the guide i wrote above?
First you need file downloaded from the website and with the eftsu tool flash it in download mode,the when phone is reseted and comes in system install eftsu manager and root checker and in root checker you have to see if it's rooted or not.
