Per our previous convo

Tried to do as you suggested, flashed original FW, unlocked with Regionlock away ver 1.2, outputted catlog , rebooted, and used the lock function on what you sent me, and outputted a catlog.

See attached zips, will try to hit you up later if you are available. At this point just getting back to region lock would be great, lol.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Chainfire:
The output looks absolutely fine. There is something going on here beyond the normal regionlock. I officially have no clue whats going on. I think you might need to resort to buying a SIM unlock code and trying that.

Help

Hi,

Again I am not worried about the region lock, it is possible that if we can solve the original problem it will solve the region lock. Do you have any idea how we could have caused the phone to not recognize any sim card? No matter what sim card I have inserted ( The original region or my current local region), the phone will not read it and if I chose any of the mobile networks I am asked to inset a sim card. As I previously mentioned I have flashed stock, tried to also flash a modem to no avail. Is there anything I can do this point? It would be very hard for me to get to a samsung repair point as there are none in Israel :confused:

You suggested I use an unlock service ( which I have tried already), but that wouldn't solve the issue as my phone does not request a pin code, it doesn't register the sim card at all....

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Totally agree with [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]. I have also tried to get help from Samsung Middle East via email and this is their reply:

"The galaxy note 3 is region locked which means it can work as long as it is within the region from where it is purchased from, for example if device is bought in Saudi Arabia it will work within the middle east region or you can refer to a sticker which usually is on the carton regarding the countries which the device can work"

You can try calling SAMSUNG KSA mate. I called once to ask for the unlock code and they said I need to go the nearest SAMSUNG Service Center in KSA for them to unlock my Note 3 but after unlocking, the warranty will be void. Well thankfully RegionLock Away worked for me, so I dont need to go to there.

Here's their number 9200-21230.

Have you read the first post mate? Its all there. :D Please read it. :good:

There was sim unlock (operator lock) for my old trusted i9100. Are there some tools/methods/roms for operator (and possibly region too) lock for N9005?

The problem is not price of an app, but to buy or not to buy sim locked phone...

Coz I see some ppl telling that this app won't unlock the version of operator I want to buy. [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] - is there a chance to update/fix the app to unlock one specific version of operators phone? Or it will cost too much and cheaper to get unlock code at some service?

I tried RegionLock Away on my i337M(Fido) with modem MDJ. After it said successful, I inserted a T-Mobile sim and it did not ask for unlock code. The sim is not registered so it says emergency calls only, but I guess my S4 is sim unlocked.

Thanks

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] TRoN_1:
Why did it not ask me for unlock code when I powered up with T-Mobile sim? Before running RegionLock Away, when I powered up with T-Mobile sim it asked for unlock code. I dismissed and it said sim not recognised or something like that. After successfully running RegionLoack Away(with my original sim inserted), then powered up with T-Mobile sim, it didn't ask for code.

Hi

I am planning to buy a Note3 from Amazon USA which has sellers selling Unlocked N900 or N9000 model of Note 3. They claim it is factory unlocked.

I am planning to use it in India.

Can I use it in India once I buy in USA?

My friend doesn;t have a US SIM card to test in the N3 at USA as he uss iPhone5 which uses Nano sim.

I am worried as it costs about $675.

Hey guys - I've skipped a bunch of pages, so apologies if this has already been addressed:

I have an N900W8 Canadian Note 3 (Locked to SaskTel).

I rooted the phone and successfully "unlocked" it. Now when I put in my Telus sim card, it doesn't ask for a PIN to unlock sim.

However - only the Voice feature works. I'm getting no DATA. When I place in a SaskTel SIM card from a friend, DATA works fine. But with my Telus SIM card, it doesn't.

Thoughts?

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] tzuik:
I have GT-i9505, it was SIM locked on Vodafone RO with latest 4.3 update OTA from the carrier. It was not region locked. I rooted it and I installed Region Lockaway and it SIM unlocked the device, I tested it immediately with Orange SIM and it works. No more money to throw away. Vodafone representatives (robbers) asked for 50 euro to unlock it. Many thanks!

As for the above post, jawi, did you download the app on the PC? If yes, connect the phone to the PC, copy the app on it's memory and install a file explorer from the Play Store (es file explorer - this is free) and browse the device to find the app where you copied it. Click it and it will ask you to install it on the phone. Do it and then open it and click Region Unlock. Restart the device and try another SIM to make sure it worked. (Also you need to go to settings --> Security --> check the box "Unknown sources" so you can install the app, otherwise it will block it.)
