Permanent sim unlock and working on Galaxy S4 Mini i9195 too

Big thanks to you [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

I read this unlock can be reversed with an ota. Uninstalled and went the permanent route with a paid sim unlock code. Thanks anyways chainfire.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] cerylion:
YEAH!

Samsung Galaxay Note 3 SM-N900W8

Baseband Version: N900W8UBUBMJ3

Build Number: ..............MJ4

I got his one from Mexico... From Telcel... on december... been trying REALLY hard to unlock it to my Venezuelan Movistar line...

1. Installed SU to the core of the phone

2. Flashed it to this stock rom from Colombia, also Movistar with Odin3 (thanks Odin)

3. wiped out all and everything from the phone (pow+volup+menu, then factory reset, then wipe cache)

4. powered up phone WITHOUT Sim... SU was still there.

5. enabled Dev. Options , then USB Debugging (I think I didn't need that at this point)

6. enabled Unknown Sources under the Security options.

7. installed RLA Ver.1.3 ... and Ran it... reboot LATER. (I heard you the internet) ((I had already tried a zillion things... my compy just finished Dling another stock ROM... I wasn't sure this one was gonna work))

8. manually turned the device off, inserted the Sim Card, made a little dance, and drank some apple juice...

It's done!!!!!

I'M FREEEEEEE

Thank you so much [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] for all your work

Thank you EVREYONE on the Forum and specifically on this Thread, for all your Very Valuable information and your 47 pages of talking crazy, beautiful, sometimes weird, but definitly all around USEFUL information.

I Believe that for this apk to work on MOST Note 3's... the MOST important factor is to Restore to an original ROM, regardless of the build...

But, Truth be told, I did roll back to this ROM from a newer one... so I guess those are both important factors...

Chainfire, if you ever want to visit Venezuela, I'll invite ALL the beers...

just come when this gvmnt is over xD

I hope this information will help others enjoy their beasts of a phablet on any country they want... without having to give up another 50$ on a phone that's already quite expensive xD

Cheers to Everyone!!!

N900A AT & T (MJ5 firmware) - this method does not work

Hello

I was in a very bad situation.

I bought on ebay a Note 3 N900A ATT. I was 100% sure that I can unlock it.

But this method was not working for firmware MJ5. I am clueless, I know not what I do.

Maybe you can suggest?

Is there any chance that the unlock is coming soon?

Is it possible to unlock this phone using code (if so, where can I buy it?)?

Any suggestions from you?

Mine is Galaxy Note 3 LTE N9005 XUDMJ7 4.3 Jelly Bean phone and it is regional locked to Middle East.

Can anyone please tell me whether my phone can be completely unlocked using Chainfire App?

Hi

Are you sure this baseband is not supported? Because mine is same version and I am trying to unlock it.. If it is not supported, is there a way I can change the version? Or is there anything I can do?

Please advise.

Thanks,
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] beat.kitano:
I bought the device in Italy (official Samsung Italia). I'm using it with an italian sim. I'll go to Mexico the next April. Can i use the smartphone with a mexican sim? The Samsung Exclusive customer service told me that i have already unblocked the phone when i booted it with an european sim the first time.

What's your opinion?

Thanks in advance.

Region Locked

May i know From which part of middle east u got ur phone? did ur phone hav regional lock sticker? since phones from UAE are unlocked.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] drfaizan:
Varun Kunder

I got it from Saudi Arabia Varun. The sticker was there inside the box but not above the box. So we came to know about this issue after opening the box in India.

Is there any chance I can unlock it? I havn't yet tried Chainfire's app because I don't know how to root my Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Varun Kunder:
Well Unfortunately saudi arabia comes under regional lock. UAE does not .. u shud hav activated the phone in saudi.

Now u either hav the choice to root and try Regional lock away app. (though mj7 is not listed by chainfire)

or u try some unlock code sites / samsung service center.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] drfaizan:
root

I already tried a site for unlock code and they failed to found a valid code..

Samsung India service center refused to help, they said they simply dont have any solution.

Samsung Saudi Arabia center asked to send the phone back to them and then they will unlock it for 200 riyals - Roughly 3200 rupees.

Can you please tell me how to root? I have downloaded a video on rooting, but is there an easier option?

Also if I root it now, and if this thing do not solve my problem, can I unroot it back to original?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Varun Kunder:
Once u root ur phone warranty will be void.

So its better for u to send it to saudi and get it done officialy by service center.

In case u wish to root .

chain fire - Cf auto root (will trip the Knox counter ie ; warranty void)

Kingo Android root ( it seems this does not trip the knox counter)

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] drfaizan:
Thanks for your response.

If you do not mind can you please answer -

For Chainfire application to work perfectly, is it must to use their own CF Auto Root system or Kingo Root also helps?

I am not sure if the rooting is done by Kingo Root then whether the chainfire's regional lock application supports or not?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Varun Kunder:
Chain fire application is independent of rooting methods.

You can use any rooting methods.

Until i know , once u root there is no way yet to get ur warranty back.

But why do u wanna root ? when u hav an option of saudi service center .

Nyways Region lock away app will not work for your firmware MJ7
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] drfaizan:
For Saudi Service center, I need to send it back to Saudi and bring it back, this will be a pain.

If MJ7 is not going to work, is there any chance I can change the firmware? I am sorry if this question sounds weird to you, this is the first time I am using a major phone. Although I did used Xperia phones in the past but I never tried to upgrade or downgrade with them, so I am unaware of these things...
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Varun Kunder:
I understand your problem but there is no legal way to downgrade your firmware. until u root it and flash older version i guess so.. m not sure regarding this. well try some website for unlock code many r there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] drfaizan:
I see you are from Mumbai? Do you think anyone can unlock it in Manish Market over there? I have been to Jagdeesh Market in Hyderabad, and without looking at the phone firmware or anything they simply said they cannot unlock Note 3 from SAudi.

Yes u can give a try in Manish market or Borivali - Indraprasth shoping center ... usualy people unlock phones over there. good luck !

T-Mobile unlock now on Digicel Bermuda

Thanks. I paid full price for my new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 to a T-Mobile shop. I used it on a $2/day pay as you go plan in the US, and then returned home to Bermuda. There was a 40 day wait period before they would provide a "factory unlock", so I did the "RegionLockAway" and was able to get my Bermuda Digicel SIM to work without problems.

This confirmation might be useful to Bermuda residents (or others) looking to buy while abroad.

I9505 unlocked

confirmed working flawlessly on my i9505 LTE (Globe PH locked)

i was on 4.3 - was unable to access Service Mode, downgraded my modem to XXUAME2

afterwards was able to access Service Mode, strangely, even when PERSO SHA256 OFF already shows, and after restoring NV REBUILD, after rebooting and inserting another network's sim - it still asks for an unlock code

installed RegionLock Away, ran the apk and rebooted device, tried another sim - now it's unlocked.

my question; do we have an available list of modems compatible for RegionLock Away?

if i return to my previous 4.3 modem(XXUEMKE), will RegionLock Away still work?

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kipconrad:
Can you post the link where you got the UK firmware that you used? Are you sure that the UK firmware that you're talking about is not region-locked?

Well, if you are rooted, you can give the app a try. If that doesn't work or if you're not rooted and want to preserve knox 0x0, then you can try flashing a non region-locked firmware to unlock your region-locked n9005. Make sure though that the firmware that you're flashing is not region-locked and also take note that flashing higher versions of firmwares will update your bootloader and you'll be stuck with it.

Ex. MJ3 to MJ7

MJ7 to NB1

Hope this helps. :D

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lion_sta:
I understand and it all sounds great, except where does it tell that it is region locked or not? Did not Samsung implement this region lock thing in the Poland firmware also, since it is part of EU?

On a sidenote, a Samsung rep told me that my region lock is active because I used first a non EU sim. If I flash a firmware, will it reset this thing? Or that is unknown.

PS Would be grateful if you answered at least just the first question.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kipconrad:
The "insert a sim" thing that samsung is saying to unlock your phone, is BS. Don't believe them. There are tons of feedback from people who tried it and failed.

Yes, Poland is part of EU, but the Poland XEO firmware is not region-locked. For UK, the product code is BTU for non region-locked firmwares.

You can search the forums for Poland XEO and UK BTU firmwares. If you can't find one, you can go to sammobile website.:thumbup:

Sent from the depths of the desert using my Camel ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kipconrad:
How did you know it's XEO?

Try ODIN for PC and then try the sim that doesn't work before.

In my case, the Regionlock was removed without wiping the phone after flash. You can try wiping your phone after flashing XEO if it's still region-locked.

Check out these two,

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=20377

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=20356

they are exactly the same in what concerns modem and everything, it is just that one is ROM (my original) and the other is XEO.

Also, yours, what does it show in the phone, do you see it as being XEO? If yes, where?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kipconrad:
Mine is EUR, Greece. Since I'm using Omega v9.0 ROM. You can check your product code/sales code using the PHONE INFO app from the play store. I was on XEO before flashing Omega ROM. Have you tried flashing the XEO firmware using PC ODIN? If it bothers you that they're somewhat alike, try the BTU firmware instead. If still no luck, then maybe you need to go to a shop that unlock phones. I Region unlocked my phone using this method and It worked for me.

Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin

Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
