Wrong forum.... Atrix 2 is the MB865. I believe the phone you have is an Atrix 4G

you cant unlock sim by rooting
you can unlock sim by buying code on ebay for $0.99 though, if your phone has at&t logo on it.

Rooting and Sim unlock are unrelated to each other. You need to purchase a sim unlock code (or go through AT&T) to unlock the GSM carrier.

That sucks...for a HTC inspire phone, i was able to unlock and root at the same go using the software from xda

You mean root and unlock.... the bootloader?
Totally different "unlocking" of the phone.
As souljaboy & moofree said, the subsidy (carrier, SIM, whatever) unlock is only through the carrier (like AT&T) or buying a code online..
Sent from my phone's mind

As alteredlikeness told you there are different kind of unlocks
1) Sim Unlock: so that you can use any sim card, you can get the code from the network provider that you bought the mobile from, alternatively you can get the code at ebay or any other local sim unlock experts, I assume you are from India, like here in Hyderabad there are few in Jagdish Market, only few of them are legit like Metro Mobiles.
Then there is the dreaded 2) Bootloader and it's unlocking: With which we can flash (install) custom kernels and thus CyanogenMods, MIUIs, AOKPs and all..
and I humbly let you know that, if you are talking about Sim unlock procedures, this is not the place to come, XDA is all about mods, ROMs, Bricks(!) and everything in between.
and if you are talking about Bootloader unlock, unfortunately the hard working devs here have not found a way yet to unlock it, really hope that they will eventually prevail.
and either way, just merely rooting doesn't unlock anything, either network lock or bootloader, rooting is a process where you get superuser access.. which is kind of Admin access to your Windows OS, which is required to install few apps and also to dig down into the android OS.
Thanks for listening! have a great day.

[Q] After I Unlock the bootloader and root my SGS3, can I still use it normal

I just wanna root it so I can delete all the bloatware but I'm afraid my phone will not reconize the service of verizon wireless since I'm unlocking the bootloader. I just wanna know, if I unlock my bootloader, can I still place phone calls, text, and use data like if nothing ever happened

lol thank you, i'm not new to rooting or unlocking bootloaders from virgin mobile but I am new on unlocking bootloaders from verizon so thanks

Bootloaders shouldn't affect service at all. Its not like a radio or anything. Also for clarification, in order to flash anything at all the bootloader has to be unlocked. Everyone on this forum has unlocked at some point.

OFFICIAL NET10 Samsung S4 4G LTE SGH-S970G Thread

I'd like to start a thread regarding the NET10 Samsung S4 4G LTE SGH-S970G.
Has anyone seen a way to unlock this device? Neither of the standard 2 methods of unlocking a Galaxy S 4 seem to work. I am unable to reach SERVICE MODE MAIN MENU beyond step 4 using the method described here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
From what I have gathered thus far this might be able to be resolved by downgrading the radio/baseband however I would need an older stock firmware for this device and I do not believe one exists - and I am afraid of bricking the device using any other stock firmware.
Does anyone know of a method I might be able to carrier unlock this puppy?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same phone, SGH-S970G, and am unable to find a root option for it either. Has anyone found one?
EDIT: (01/14/14) SafeRoot also worked for me. Thank you to all for your help, I really appreciate it!

You could try apps that root the phone for you such as Framaroot and Poot, Framaroot has it's own forum on XDA. If you try let me know which works

What technical specs does this model of S4 have?Maybe the root method from i9506 works!

Does anybody know of any flashing methods for this device, such as custom recovery and roms?

I heard something about a region unlocked helping to unlock the metro
C version of this phone I think that is close to this model so I guess we could start there

Guys please try rooting and then using the app "region lock away" it unlocks sims on other gs4, tested myself yesterday, please someone try with this model and reply soon. MAY NOT work on 4.3 but totally safe, will look for older modems. and report back
Cheers.

I can try but can anyone post a link to region unlock and the rooting app I've been looking for them

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470551
that's region away, the poster that said previously that he rooted will hopefully send a link to his App/process.
hit thanks if i helped.

Ok just need a link to safe root

Which part failed? Rooting or region unlock?
Sent from my SGH-S970G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Rooting seem to went fine unlocking seem to not go so fine someone offered me like $350 for it so I'll sell it rooted. Still couldn't get the menu it shows different carriers but network fails to connect for some reason

I noticed that some members have had these straight talk phones for more than a year now, so shouldn't some people be able to unlock their Straight Talk/Tracfone Galaxy S4 phones by now?

OK - shame the phone isn't sold globally - then we may have more activity and perhaps development.

Yes that's why i started the thread to discuss the development part as no such activity is seen on it....

Yes, we need some good devs apart from the ones who ported the 2 roms....
I used htcdev to unlock the bootloader and then flashed SuperSu but i got a buggy root looks like.
Also having issues with the sdcard write problem created by google...
I'm trying to sort out my kinks to set it up as per my liking using xposed modules etc...

I have permanent root. You have to unlock bootloader for that and then flash SuperSu as i mentioned earlier.
There is no method without unlocking bootloader. I tried a lot, none of the other exploits worked,, unless you want to spend

Yes, unlocking bootloader will void the warranty,, and also if you unlock it , then relocking is possible but it will never bring it back to its original state....

Yeah bro... Actually i had unlocked ? my bootloader and backed up DRM keys (require root) but after 2 months my power button was not working properly....
What i did..
Restore DRM & relocked bootloader and flash the stock rom.... And then send it to service center and they also fix the issue for free!!
So is there any way to gain the warranty back like in samsung we can clear flash counters by "triangle away" app... And here in sony with DRM method??

Which method did you use to root? If it's HTC dev then we also were obliged to use that only. We are adding about any others without unlocking bootloader.

Hmm... I wonder. Is it okay to pick up a single sim version? Looks like everyone has dual sim here and I'm a little worried when ROMs do get ported, it might not work on the single sim version. Would it work anyway? Or do I really have to go for the dual sim?

Use the search feature my friend. This should be posted in the Q&A section. Plus in there is everything you'll need to learn to flash a rom. I would do some reading before going about flashing otherwise you may have a $650 paperweight.

No you can't.
You have to flash only ROMs which are made for the specific device, otherwise you'll end up with a useless device.

Put shortly, very few people are going to know the effects of updates outside of the US for a US based device.
Can you take the OTA? If you've rooted or are using custom anything, I would not recommend it if you're not experienced with redoing it all (if necessary)

Yes by OTA and I'm rooted (towelroot)& I use officiel one
