[Q] Region Locked? topic

I just replaced the girlfriends phone with a new Samsung S4 and it came with a massive sticker on the side to say it will only work in Europe but is sim unlocked etc.

After reading a few pages it seems that Samsung now lock phones to regions similar to the Note 3 but now seems to be present on the 3rd S4 I have.

I was wondering does this mean she cannot buy a sim from outside of Europe and use it in the phone and is there a way to unlock it without rooting because it came with knox and she replaces her phone every other month due to damage.

Region Lock topic

Hello

I had a new S3 last week , a friend bought it from France , I9300 , unbranded , No carrier
But I found it to be region locked , with a french sticker indicating that

What I done so far : - tried regionlockaway for note 3
- rooted , tried galaxy sim unlock apps > they think I'm unlocked
- tried Cm 10.2 roms , revolution hd
- edited csc/customer.xml , actually cm deletes it all
- flashed csc for middle east
- tried the nv_data unlock method at 00181460 > all FF
- flashed various modems
- tried stock Egy jellybean and ICS ROMS
- all possible combinations for modem/rom/csc
- tried the service menu method > no Perso SHA option
- cm says Iam perso locked , personalisiob menu says I'm sim locked

What Should I try ???
