Did you follow the steps and then try the code? If so you have to turn PERSO SHA256 ON before trying the code.
Hey latinohot!!!
Thanks for the information!!! The video that I mean is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ggclTXqfcw
The guy says something about changing boot animation (02:20), but I'm not sure because the audio isn't that good... I assumed that his device boot animation changed after the method. Am I wrong??
Thats my video and my phone is rooted thats why you see custom icon during boot has nothing to do with unlock

as already mentioned by romracer on the second page of this thread.
I think the OP should give credit for this.
However, similar methods have also been used on the S3 but whoever got it to work on the S4 or figured out how it worked on the S4 should be credited unless there are circumstances for doing otherwise. I don't see any reason to close the thread.
My wife and I just got our phones about 5 days ago, and I unlocked ours last night. UAMDL for our baseband. 16gb model.

I have the AT&T version and the unlock worked the first time. HOWEVER, EVER SINCE THE UNLOCK MY CELL PHONE RECEPTION APPEARS TO HAVE DEGRADED SIGNIFICANTLY. I have been using this for several days and my reception seems to be consistently weaker than normal. I am currently at my in law's and have no cell reception at all. Good thing for wifi. Has anyone else had an issue like this?
Question 2: is there any way to undo this so I can switch back and forth to determine if it's my imagination or something. BTW, I verified my network and APN settings were correct before writing this.
Thanks for your help.

129After samsung blocked the hidden service menu unlock for s4 i am bit worried .but today i found out new process to unlock for free in a website
Step 1: Launch the Phone app on your Galaxy S4, and dial in: *#0011#
Step 2: Press the Menu button followed by the Back key. Then, hit the Menu button again and select KEY INPUT. Enter 1 and press the OK button to enter ServiceMode.
Step 3: Press Menu one more time and tap back again. This will pull up the Main Menu for ServiceMode. Tap [1] UMTS.
Step 4: Now select [1]DEBUG SCREEN, followed by [6] PHONE CONTROL.
Step 5: From the next screen, pick [6] NETWORK LOCK.
Step 6: You’ll get three options. Hit the one that says [3] PERSO SHA256 OFF.
Step 7: Now, you need to get back to Main Menu. To do this, hit the Menu button followed by the Back key. In Main Menu, now pick [6]COMMON, and then [6] NV REBUILD.
Step 8: The phone will tell you that a Golden Backup exists. Tap [4] Restore Back-up.
Your device will now go through a series of “conditions”, where it will first freeze, then get on a black screen with Blue LED on and both capacitive buttons on, after which it will reboot automatically. The whole cycle might take a couple of minutes, so be patient. Once it powers back on, it’s network unlocked, permanently.

Download the stock Fido 4.4.2 from: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/36977/I337MVLUFNI2_I337MOYAFNI2_FMC/
Download stock Fido 5.01 from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/54721/I337MVLUGOH1_I337MOYAGOH1_FMC/
Download Odin 3.07 from here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421
Download Odin 3.10.7 from here: http://odindownloadxda.com/
Link to i337m 4.2.2 modem file: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63003693&postcount=75
Link to supersu.zip: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/
The first two files may take a while to download but it is a good idea to have a copy of these files for future use. The firmware files are in a zip format and they should be unzipped only once to produce a tar.md5 file.
Note this will trip the Knox counter from 0 to 1 and void your warranty.
Before flashing, make sure you backup all important files BEFORE flashing anything.
Flash stock 4.4.2 as follows:
- Open Odin 3.07, uncheck everything except f.reset time;
- click on PDA in Odin and browse to the tar.md5 file for stock 4.4.2;
- put the phone into download mode and connect it to the computer via USB cable (I recommend using the USB cable that came with the phone and a USB 2.0 port, not a USB 3.0 port);
- flash the firmware;
- when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, wait 5 seconds, replace the battery; and
- use the home, volume up, power button combination to boot into recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, reboot.
How to install TWRP and root the phone:
- copy supersu.zip and regionlockaway.apk files to the phone's internal memory or a micro sd card (the micro sd card should be in the phone before after powering up the phone with the 4.2.2 modem);
- power off the phone;
- Open Odin 3.07, uncheck everything except f.reset time;
- click on PDA in Odin and browse to the tar file for TWRP;
- put the phone into download mode and connect it to the computer via USB cable (I recommend using the USB cable that came with the phone and a USB 2.0 port, not a USB 3.0 port);
- flash TWRP;
- when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, wait 5 seconds, replace the battery; and
- use the home, volume up, power button combination to boot into recovery which should now be TWRP;
- flash supersu.zip from twrp;
- reboot the phone and allow supersu to update and disable knox;
- go into the phone's security settings and enable the installation of apk files from unknown sources;
- power off the phone.
How to flash the 4.2.2 modem and sim unlock the phone:
- power off the phone;
- Open Odin 3.10.7, uncheck everything except auto reboot and f.reset time;
- click on CP in Odin and browse to the modem.bin file (changing the file name may cause Odin to fail, thanks to @droiduzr2 for this hint);
- put the phone into download mode and connect it to the computer via USB cable (I recommend using the USB cable that came with the phone and a USB 2.0 port, not a USB 3.0 port);
- flash the modem;
- when the phone is booted, locate the regionlockaway.apk file, install and run it (this will remove the sim lock);
- power off the phone.
Before flashing back to stock 5.01, power off the phone, insert a sim card that was not issued by the carrier to whom the phone was locked, and power up the phone. If you see a prompt for a network unlock code, the phone is still sim locked. If the phone does not ask for the network unlock code, the phone should be permanently sim unlocked.
How to flash back to 5.01:
- Open Odin 3.07, uncheck everything except f.reset time;
- click on PDA in Odin and browse to the tar.md5 file for stock 5.01;
- put the phone into download mode and connect it to the computer via USB cable (I recommend using the USB cable that came with the phone and a USB 2.0 port, not a USB 3.0 port);
- flash the firmware;
- when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, wait 5 seconds, replace the battery; and
- use the home, volume up, power button combination to boot into recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, reboot.
