does it work for network locked n9005?

the phone requires an unlock pin to use an other sim

How can really tell if your Region Unlocked?

Regionlock Away says that "it appears the patch worked". How can you really tell if your Region Unlocked without testing it first hand?

Surprising that I am not finding at least one app that will detect whether you are region unlocked or not?

How to flash CSC package on AOSP ROM

I wanted to region unlock my i9505, but got an error message saying "Could not locate CSC data! You could try flashing a CSC package to correct this."

How do I do this on a custom ROM (AOSP based AOSB 1.3.2)? All howtos I found referred to Samsung Stock only. Since Itravel to the US next week, I'd very much like to use my phone there.

Re-lock ?

I was able to convince AT&T to give me a sim unlock code for my SM-N900T (T-MO Note 3)

I do not have a backup of what regionlock made. I would like to restore back to original unmodified So I may enter the sim unlock code in.

Reasoning for this was Cyanogenmod Dialer would not work, I would get data but it would end the dialer call soon as I placed it. If i reverted back to a TW based rom dialer works fine. Now that I have a unlock code I am hoping Cyanogenmod will work. But just need to undo what regionlock away did without backup files.

Thanks

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lion_sta:
Might, but it is not a sure thing as Chainfire says.

Best way to make sure is to put in an otherwise unaccepted sim.

Based on what I understood all problems back to the CSC and modem file

RegionLock Away change CSC file not modem

What if we flash a modem with CSC file of our region?

For example could I flash n9005 Middle East modem (Android 4.3) with xsi CSC region file on my XXUBMI7 Android 4.3 then flash xsi Android 4.4.2 rom?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lion_sta:
There have been some opinions that this would fix it. You should still be careful about the CSC you choose to match the current one, or at least not to be lower.

When I flashed the brithish BTU which is supposed to be region free, I did not got region unlocked. Still, after hard flashing the modem (two times in a row without rebooting) I was able to use the region unlock away tool, but I did not check if the phone was somehow already region unlocked.

Hope you can make something out of what I said.

Hi, great advice.

Yes i'm

The unlock price for your phone paid by your provider before you bought it. In my country is same too, some of them came with prepaid unlocked and some of them (like mine) came with pre rooted and regionlock installed on it.

as i said if now, your phone working without regionlock you are ok to upgrade.

good luck

How did you manage to upgrade your note 3 via kies? You shouldn't be able to do that since your phone was rooted... or not?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lion_sta:
Over The Air updates are more difficult to get, but through kies it is possible. I dont know what happens if you trigger knox, but just rooting does not prevent one from using kies to update.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] hzh:
I had success upgrading my rooted and unlocked (via regionlock away) n9005 to kitkat via kies while maintaining the unlock. I was able previously to use OTA after setting the system status to "fake" official with wanam xposed, but with the kitkat update, the OTA method gave me an error during installation every time I tried it. So I used kies and succeeded with the upgrade, lost the root while maintaining the unlock. So no problem if you used kies.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] raitchison:
Regarding the "could not locate CSC data" message with RegionLock away I have the same problem on my AT&T Galaxy S4 SGH-i337 running a Google Edition 4.4.2 ROM. I have a theory but I haven't tested it yet. I suspect you need to be running a stock ROM or at least a custom ROM that includes the CSD info (still not sure what that is) fro, the stock ROM.

The way to test it would be to flash a stock ROM then attempt regionlock away, obviously you would want to go with a pre-rooted defanged version of the stock ROM and not flash an OTA or official file in ODIN. I plan on doing just that this week and will update when I know.

Interestingly, I have a different S4 with a 4.3 Google Edition ROM and I was able to successfully run RegionLock Away on it so that might be an easier choice for me than messing with a TouchWiz ROM.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] raitchison:
OK guys I ran the test and installed a different 4.3 Google Edition ROM and I still had the "could not locate CSC data" message running RegionLock Away, so I tried the exact same 4.3 ROM I have on my other S4 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47718525#post47718525) and I was able to successfully run RegionLock away. Obviously that only works if you have a compatible S4 but I'm guessing that if you go with any mostly stock ROM you should be able to work around the issue. Again you only need to have the ROM installed to run RegionLock Away you can then flash any ROM you want and are still Region Unlocked (and possibly SIM unlocked)

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] sakamaka007:

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] raitchison:
Is your phone already SIM unlocked? RegionLock Away will sometimes SIM unlock at the same time but not always. On my Galaxy Note II it SIM Unlocked but on my S4 it did not.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] SleemLDJ:
Do you guys reckon that this will work on KitKat base ND5?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] hzh:
Regionlock away is not designed to work on kitkat, so sorry but I do not think it will work in your case. The reports on the application that it works on kitkat are only in case the phone was unlocked using this application on the SUPPORTED build numbers (all are 4.3 jellybean) and then the phone was upgraded to kitkat, a process that retained the unlock.

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

According to all of what I have read since the N9005 kitkat update started regarding the regionlock away on kitkat, the application will not work if your N9005 is locked on kitkat.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Chalao:
I doubt it unless you also flash a modem matching the custom ROM from a country unaffected by the region lock. However, even that is questionable as part of the region lock seems to be also stored in the EFS partition so before you try anything make sure to back it up in any case Be also aware that rooting is likely to void your warranty in case you care about it.

Hi everybody!

I follow xda forum for some time now, but I never needed to actually post anything, because I got everything I wanted through reading and searching the threads. Therefore, being a total noob regarding posting, I ask you all for patience and help in the following matter:

Last week, I bought a Galaxy S4 in France, but I only noticed the the region lock warning sticker after I left the store and I was on my way to the airport to come back to Brazil (my residence country). I didn't have time to activate it first with an European SIM card, and thus I found myself at home, with a device that won't accept my Brazilian SIM card. In order to try and solve the problems, I searched the forum and googled a lot, finding some possible solutions (like region lock away by Chainfire). The problem is that I just can't find specific explanation to my device model, which is a GT-i9515! It's not even listed in the forum or in this thread as an S4 variant!

All the specs of my device - as far as I can tell - are exactly the same ones as the i9505, so, you think I could use CF-root and then region lock away? Both of them work for the i9505.

Thanks in advance for the help!

how to check if my note 3 is region locked without testing a different region simcard?

I think it's definitely simlocked as it asks for sim unlock code when I try using On O2 sim,I'm on vodafone.

according to region lock it's supposed to be unlocked after activating with regional simcard?

not entirely sure of phone history as got it from ebay,will try to find out.

the buy codes for simunlock require that regionlock be 'unlocked' before code will work so need to check if phone is actually region free?

I could succesfully root my I9515 using CF Auto Root (the I9505 file), but Region Lock Away didnt't work for me. :( The app says the patch succeeded, but even rebooting later, the device keeps asking the unlock pin when it reboots... No matter how many times I reboot, or if the SIM card is inserted during the procedure or just after.

Are you sure your I9505 was really region locked? Or it was just sim locked, that happened to be unlocked?

does this work on the latest n9005 android?

i am at 4.3 0x0 and i want to use geohots jb to root on 4.4.2 keep 0x0 and remove simlock with regionlockaway
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] hzh:
I have my n9005 unlocked after being rooted on 4.3 (was on mi7 build which is compatible with regionlock away); however the rooting method tripped the knox so it was 0×1. After I was unlocked I was able to update my phone several times (OTA and via KIES). The major update I had was the 4.4.2 kitkat update which I performed using KIES because it was failing with OTA. Anyway, after all the updates, I was still unlocked. How the unlocking was maintained during the update procedure is still a kind of mystery but was discussed and explained in previous pages of this thread so make sure to read it (start reading from page 58 of this thread, and if you do not want to read much then read page 63 for a detailed description of what I did back then when I updated my phone to kitkat)

What I suggest, especially if you want to keep the knox 0×0, that you root your phone via a method that does not trip the knox counter (I have read that the de la vega rooting method does not trip knox), proceed with the unlocking, then update preferably via KIES or else you might have some problems and errors because the phone is rooted (you can try via OTA but after using wanam xposed to set the phone system status to official because if the phone is rooted it will tell you that OTA updates are not available because the system has been modified). Several people have reported that this method of unlocking and then updating has kept the phone unlocked, unlike those who tried to unlock phones that were already running on kitkat who reported that they were not able to unlock their n9005. But do not forget to check the version of your 4.3 if it will work with the regionlock away application because as mentioned in its description, the application will work only on MI7, MJ1, and MJ3 firmwares.

I hope this helped.
