Hi All,
I like in Canada and i'm with TELUS... anyway i bought this phone on ebay and it was 150 dollars great deal... I have always just bough an unlock key without issue but i guess this model i535 is different ( damn you verizon)/
I just want to unlock it so i will be able to use my local Telus...
the phone is running 4.42 and kernel 3.4.0
if someone could please let me know the EASEIST way to unlock this - I have never rooted a phone before but have to learn some how! is there no other way to unlock this than rooted it?
Please reply and help!
Thank you all very much

It should be sim unlocked out of the box. Have you stuck a sim in the phone and tried to add Telus APNs?
The only root exploit available for the VRUDNE1 4.4.2 OTA is to use Towelroot. There is no bootloader unlock available for this OTA which means there is no chance for AOSP nor downgrading the firmware to anything prior to 4.4.2. Safestrap is available but you would only be able to dual boot another VRUDNE1 based rom, nothing else.

Of course it didn't, the sim card would belong to the previous owners phone number etc. You need a sim from your carrier with your info, phone number etc. See my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58582227
Hey guys i got a galaxy s5 from sprint, there's a domestic unlock on ebay, but it requires the phone to be on 4.4.1, i was wondering if there was a way to downgrade to 4.4.1 so i can unlock it?
thanks
I wouldn't trust a domestic unlock from eBay. If it were possible, it'd be here if anywhere... But all you'd need to do is install the stock tar. I'm not sure where it'd be, I like the newest version possible
Here's 4.4.2 I don't think there is/was a 4.4.1 for the gs5

I dont think there was either. Mine came Out of the Box 4.4.2 then updated to 4.4.4 then 5.0 now

ive domestically unlocked 2 of them. @stifilz does them on here for donations or idoneapps does them for $35. I unlocked mine via idoneapps, and they both worked like a charm
Hi I am new to the site and am hoping to get some help. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 from T-Mobile which has been rooted with Liquid Smooth 3.0. I have AT&TT and have been trying for over 3 days to unlock this phone with no luck. I even got a network unlock code from T-Mobile but it won't work. I was told it was because it is already rooted. So is there a way to unlock my GS3 without removing the root and returning to stock to unlock then having to reroot it?? Thanks in advance!
Hello,
Does the company have variant of the galaxy s8+ have an unlocked bootloader? I see they are selling on on Amazon prime https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B072BD4MTC/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A35WDPB4Y8D904 and I was wondering if I decided to purchase it would I be able to root and flash recovery and install custom roms...
I am interested in ram boost, but not sure if it will make a difference or actually have a u locked bootloader...
Any insight into this is greatly appreciated...

Search and read, all info for unlock and root and such are right on general forums.
I have searched, but have not found a specific yes the bootloader is unlocked for flashing anything You want, or no there are limitations...

I know I know search

any help is greatly appreciated!!
u.s. phone will not unlock. outside of u.s. phones (exynos) do unlock
I guess he didn't like my post! LOL
I think they may have meant flashing the U1 firmware (unlocked variant)
