SIM Unlock While On 5.0.1?

[kcraptor82]

Seen alot of places explaining how to SIM unlock this model, but what if your already on 5.0.1? How can this be accomplished? I have seen all kinds of guides for 4.x, but nothing much for 5.x. Do I have to downgrade it and start over or can I skip doing that?

im having the same issue. there is no way to root 5.0.1. yet, have to downgrade to kitkat to use towelroot anyways. so the answer seems to be yes. you gotta flash to 4.4 or so and start over. if you still need help i can share any info that i find that helps me in my quest to unlock my att s4 to t mobile. seems i have to root first.. which is something i planned to do.. after i was able to use it as my main phone.
