Again? The SIM was never locked in the first place. The i545 allows any SIM to be used.
tq..i updated my s4 and the another carrier sim is working fine

You should be able to just download the RUU and run it from your SD card. Being that you are in Korea, you probably want a global version.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/08/15/exclusive-download-full-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ has a link to download, and instructions for using it to upgrade.
Note: Doing this will completely wipe the phone, so be sure to back up anything you don't want to lose.
Hi all!
Well, my problem is that I can't do the sim unlock and I think it is because the phone has 4.1.2 and a rooted kernel.( the phone isnot mine,owns to one friend)
I've been trying with the 2 most popular apps : Galaxy s2 sim unlock by chainfire and odia, and galaxy s unlock (this I think no root needed).
I'm thinkin that I can't unlock it because the kernel is not the official one. The phone is from Orange (Spain) and yesterday i was trying to flash the original firmware downloaded from Sammobile and it crash, so I had to flash a kernel (ApoloJb) to make it run again.
I am crazy to get the unlock sim... because If I get the sim unlock my friend will give me the S2
Thanks and sorry about my english :/

If you had performed a factory unlock or the phone came unlocked when it was new, then no, there is no way for it to lock back. If you had unlocked via a root or software method, then there is a chance the upgrade would re-lock.
