My phone was simlocked to an austrian provider. I live in germany and flashed the unlocked german dbt with odin.

I used rdlv to root on 4.3 and kept 0x0. The region lock was never an issue since iam in europe. The simlock was an issue but

i fixed it with regionlock away.

my goal now is to update to latest android, keep 0x0 and not lose simlock.

additionally i'd like to install roms and custom recovery but as i read that would definitly trip knox..so its out of question.

Current state:

N9005

Android 4.3

Kernel 3.4.0-1628120

I just used this app on my rooted ATT GS4 in preparation for an international trip. It booted up fine with Lycamobile onto the network (I think it rides on T-Mobile). Hopefully if will work with my international sim when I arrive. It was clearly network locked before use and now looks good.

Thanks

Note 2

Hi all, does anyone here know of any way to region unlock Note 2? I have a sim unlocked UK n7100 4.3. Tried downgrading to 4.2. Tripped knox. Lost IMEI. Sorted via kies. Now back on 4.3. Rooted with superroot. Chainfire's region lock away didnt work.

I am now relocating to asia. Annoyed that I have to throw this phone away and buy a new one (not a samsung). As customers, do we have any grounds to file a court case against samsung? They altered my phone without warning me that it would now be region locked. Agreeing to all terms and conditions should not be enough.

my doubts.

1. What if i install an asian ROM with an asian modem?

2. Install a US ROM and try the region lock away?

Need help with my Samsung S4 mini GT i9195

Hi guys! I've spent almost 2 hours reading this thread, trying to understand how to do this with my phone but I have no clue about this matter..

Would any kind soul help me? I bought an unlocked Samsung S4 mini (GT i9195) on a trip in France about a month ago and I'm trying to use it here in Buenos Aires (Argentina) with a local SIM card, and this Region Lock message keeps popping up. If I dismiss it, I can perfectly use my phone except for making calls or anything to do with my phone number. Well I guess you all know this part, so I won't go further.

The thing is that I gave it to a friend from work and not only he couldn't fix it, but also returned it to me with a tiny annoying message in the initial animation that says "Warranty bit: kernel" (really bad caption attached).

So, am I doomed? Could I have the worst luck ever? :(

I think I can figure out this LockAway app method, but I don't know how to root the device first.

Can anyone help me? I swear I've tried to understand it on my own but there are so many thecnical vocabulary I just don't get.

Details:

Samsung S4 mini GT I9195

JellyBean

Unlocked (doesn't have any European operator)

Couldn't thank you enough!

Hope you are all doing great,

best

Laurie.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] laurie89:
update

Kept reading about this issues, found a thread about the Set Warranty Bit Kernel message, got to 2 conclusions:

1) I´m guessing my friend DID root the device, which caused that message to appear. Makes me wonder if I can fix both problems (region lock and kernel message)?. If not, I´m obviously choosing the region lock fix.

2) If the phone is rooted, I´ve only got to download and run the LockAway app, right?

Any opinions/thoughts?:confused:

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Vicious Von:
I have an att galaxy note 3 with a T-Mobile simband this didn't work for me. I got the unknown Sim screen upon rebooting I pressed dismiss and waited 1 minute like the instructions stated. I rebooted and nothing changed I wasn't able to use the new simcard.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] LordLink:
Finally I managed to sim unlock my phone after 10 days of experiments

For all those having trouble with this method, I want to share what I did to make it work.

First I tried downgrading to 4.3 and 4.2.2 versions without success (with all the risks involved), I tried all the free methods with *#0011# and so without success, I tried RegionLock Away with the 4.4.2 default modem (XXUFNC4) without success

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 LTE with Android 4.4.2 bought from France (XEF):

I rooted my phone using CF-Auto-Root

I flashed with Odin the ME2 modem only (XXUAME2 for my case) using the CP/PHONE bouton - find the list in this thread

I used RegionLock Away as described in this post

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] LordLink:
You can try to type *#1234# and try to flash the modems that start with the same letter code as yours: different parts of the World have different LETTER CODE (first 2 - XX, ZH, DX, ...).

Personnaly I don't know which modem was with 4.3 version and I can't be sure it will work because Note 3 is comming with Android 4.3 from factory.

Be sure to make a full backup before trying anything, you never know what could go wrong with this (Wifi or 3G not working, signal loss...).

Good luck.

No Unlock Popup??

I have a n900t on the nb4 firmware that's blacklisted that I'm trying to unlock to use on Straight Talk. What does it mean when I put in an AT&T Straight Talk sim and I get no unlock popup at all?? Acts just like my T-mobile sim. The sim was cut from standard into a micro sim using a sim cutter tool... When i try to make a call it says "Not registered on network". It shows bars as if it reads the sim but when i go to carrier settings it tells me to insert a sim. If I remove the sim I can see the "No Sim Inserted" icon in the status bar, when i reinsert it the icon is gone. WTF!? Paid for an unlock code but can't use it because I can't get the popup menu! :(

I haven't read all the pages yet but a few simple questions.

1. Do I need a fresh Sim card "unused" or can I use my existing Verizon Sim I've been using just to set it up? I know I need a Sim for the foreign area to use but I mean just to set it up and get it unlocked.

2. If I have issues and can't get proper connection afterwards is it as simple as putting my original Sim back in?

Okay so today I tried Region Unlock Away 1.3. it worked for a short time with the sim in that I have been using. Out if nowhere I get an error of "SIM not allowed MM#3". Now I cannot use my phone at all.

I am on a Samsung Galaxy NOTE III.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] e_pimpin:
Okay for now "sim not allowed MM#3" PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

Okay I solved this problem Chainfire. The following method was used. Even after a master reset this problem persisted due to Samsung keeping 3 pieces of persistent data in the phone during ALL PDA CHECKED ODIN FLASHES, KIES FLASHES AND PHONE BASED RESETS.

STEP 1: Initialize the Service Mode: Debug Information Menu using *#197328640# in your dialer.

STEP 2: Press your hard menu button and select "Key Input" and type the letter "Q" and push okay.

STEP 3: Press your hard menu button again and select "Key Input" again and type "0000" then select ok and then wait 15 to 20 seconds. It may change screens showing you only a single number such as 1 or 0 but don't do anything yet because it has only processed your "Q" command and is processing your "0000" command. You should land in a screen reading these menu options:

MAIN MENU

[1] PROTOCOL STATE

[2] UE SETTINGS & INFO

[3] ETC

[4] DEBUG SCREEN (OPEN)

[5] OPERATOR(OPEN)

STEP 4: THIS STEP IS RISKY ONLY USE FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTE IN ANOTHER MANUAL ELSEWHERE FOR ANOTHER OR SAME PURPOSE. THIS WILL RESTORE YOUR DEFAULT MODEM DATA TO STOCK. (NV REBUILD)

4A) Enter the MAIN MENU as described above

4B) Select option 2 "UE SETTINGS & INFO"

4C) Select option 1 "SETTING"

4D) Select option 2 "SYSTEM"

4E) Select option 3 "NV REBUILD"

4F) Select option 3 "ALL"

STEP 5: It will tell you to reboot. Press your hard meu key and select "END". Now reboot your phone in the normal fasion using power key> Restart.

Reboot will take slightly longer, but it will completely reset the modem, GPS, and IMS settings.

I think it RegionLock re-introduced the GPS fix issue

I have been happily using my Note 3 since a year. I just tried RegionLock to unlock the phone. However, it seems that it introduced the GPS fix issue in my Note 3 again. Maybe because it is using older modem/firmware? The phone is constantly searching for GPS now and eating up the battery. I have to keep the GPS off all the time because of this.

I tried doing the region relock from within the app, it looks like it would restore the old backup but its not working. Is there any way to revert the changes this app made? My battery is constantly getting drained in 5-6 hours because of this and phone is running hot all the time.

I am hoping there is something you can do to make this compatible with the NOTE 4 in the hopes that it will help us unlock our Note 4s.

Hello all its been a while since i last posted here at xda. Here is my situation and hope you guys can help me out. I have been using the famous Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6800 since it came out,but unfortunately it died on me, the screen was cracked and then it went black. Currently using the original Samsung Galaxy S ,Vibrant from T-Mobile. While still having my tab I had always thought of one day downgrade to a Note. Well now it is time,but unfortunately this whole region lock just screwed it and made it a bit more annoying. Basically I want an unlocked version where I can use a Straight Talk SIM, it runs on AT&T network, and then take it overseas to the UK when I mover over. So would the Note 3 N9005 be the one for me to get and use the Region Lock away app to region unlock it? Hope to hear from anyone that has done it on the N9005 and been able to use here in the U.S., I really don't feel like looking for other Android devices even as bad as Samsung has been with the treatment of some of its phones and slow updates.
