Hi Chainfire!

Few days ago I received new Galaxy S4 from Germany that made after July and I have the same problem (it's not working with Russian Sim card) - it's regionlock model (the box also has a sticker European model and names of countries). I know many guys from Russia who has the same problem and one of them tried your Regionlock Away on Galaxy s4 but it's not working on this model (I could try this app also but I am little bit afraid because it's not for Galaxy S4 and may be my cellphone will die after that). Please could you make this app for Galaxy S4? I think during this month it will be more and more people with the same problem on Galaxy S4 because shops started to sell locked S4 I suppose only few days ago. I and many people will be very greatful if you make this app!

Thanks in advance!

Using firmware MJ1 on a Note 3, after installing and executing the app, I get the report that PDA and CSC are MJ1. But "MODEM" seems to be "MI6". It should be MJ1 as well. Flashing the MJ1 modem binary doesn't solve that problem. It keeps saying MI6 afterwards. :confused:

Any ideas?

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Hody:
Don't understand :confused: Please explain

My device has a region lock (Sticker on the manual). I was told that a US Sim would in Germany with roaming, but not in the US with an US carrier. Which certifies the point that chainfire made with the carrier blacklist. So my question is how can I certify that I can use my phone in the next vacation and do I have to root my phone to be able to use any SIM in the world.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bragolatch:
Mixed report.

I've been looking at this since the Note 3 came out, asking everybody I know that bought one and searching the net everywhere.

I'm sorry to say that there doesn't seem to be a strait answer.

My friend from Germany was able to use his 9005 with a Telus sim card in Quebec,Canada without problem after activating it at home with a German sim card first.

Another friend tried to do the same from France to the US and it did not work.

He didn't want to root his phone so he ended up using an older one he had used before an brought as backup for this eventuality.

I do not know any way to find out other then actually trying it.

Hopefully ChainFire or another wiz in here will find a way.

I thought bringing a backup was a great idea if you have one you know works at your destination,

it doesn't take much room in your bag even if you don't need it in the end.

I really hope the somebody (I'm trying too lol but I doubt I'll get there first)

finds a way to remove the regions lock without rooting, because accoding to some samsung rep :

To make matters even worse, this same Samsung rep said that the Android 4.4 update will impose a “regional SIM lock” on all devices. Of course that is for the devices that actually get the 4.4 update, but that will probably include at least the Galaxy Note II and newer models.

the rollout of Kitkat is to extend the regional lock to existing SGS3s and Note 2s – I asked if my existing unlocked SGS3 bought unlocked over a year ago is to be subject to the same regional lock if I upgrade. Yes according to rep. So I would not be able to use a SIM from outside the European region in it when travelling? Yes according to the rep.

So it appears that Samsung’s tactics are going to be a bigger problem than we had originally thought.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Hody:
Thanks Bragolatch, that's what I've heard too. Initialy it was said that the phone should should work with all SIM cards once activated proper for your region. But you are right, there is no way to figure this out, other then to try it in the country you want to use itself, because of the blacklisted carriers.

I find this a very odd behaviour as people how travel for business really will need to use their phone abroad.

I finally found a solution in the GSM Modem flashing thread for Note 3. There is written:

I've tested this and can confirm that it worked in my case (N9005 with CSC "DBT" and latest FW (MJ1)).
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ace_km:
MJ1 is still locked

I know that this App is for MI7 fw , but as it seems in the thread, some of you have successfully unlocked their MJ1 devices. :confused:

But I'm getting "Not sure if that worked, reboot and try again" message every time and my Note is still locked (though I'm sure I have MJ1 fw and csc and modem, european 9005 without carrier branding). :(

how can I double check my Modem - someone here said that the his modem "seems" to be not MJ1 , and maybe I have the same problem?????

I am also unable to downgrade ti MI7 with Root-de-la-vega. Please, give me an advice , if I missed smth
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Skizzy034:
I reflashed the stock T-Mobile FW so that I could use cellunlocker.net for a full unlock and my phone is still region unlock from this app. Flashing that FW with the modem didn't relock it. Not sure what I should try now.

I thought that reflashing or flashing any modem would reset the lock?

Note 3 From Africa

Hi.

i have a Note 3 N9000 region Locked , brought from Africa.

What do you suggest ?

I have already rooted the phone as i tested Chain fire apk, but that didn't work.

does any one have any suggestions ? looking at this thread .. what should i flash ?

base band - N900XXUBMI2

Kernel - 3.4.39-1624790

Build - JSS15J.N900XXUBMJI

Thanks

Final conclusion by the moment!

After read every post of this thread, I can conclude this, just to be easy to new users try a solution to Region Lock using ChainFire Region Lock Away solution.

Thanks to ChainFire and every person who tried his solution and post here.

Step by step how other people could solve it:

1. Full Flash this Stock ROM by ODIN:

http://www.hotfile.com/dl/250112363/1d3ec3c/N9005XXUBMJ1_N9005OXXBMJ1_PHE.zip.html

Please check the Baseband/Modem if it is N9005XXUBMJ1, go directly step 3, NOT doing step 2. Otherwise please do step 2, until your baseband/modem version would be N9005XXUBMJ1

2. Flash the Modem by ODIN using the steps below:

http://d-h.st/h6a - N9005XXUBMJ1_MODEM

If anyone else is having issues with the baseband not changing, do this.

1. Use Odin v3.04

2. Untick Autoreboot

3. Flash modem

4. Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Vol Down plus Home button combi)

5. Flash Modem once more

6. Once done,unplug then reboot device manually.

7. If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.

3. Root your phone using ChainFire Autoroot by Odin:

http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip

4. Please check:

In Settings, please check UNKNOWN SOURCES.

5. Run RegionLockAway-v1.0.apk, or RegionLockAway-v1.1.apk.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.regionlockaway

The solution I made

Hi everyone,

I had had all the problems everybody had here. Bought my Note3 in Portugal(Euro regionLocked), the RegionLock away haven't worked no matter everything I did, I've tried everything, flashed stock roms, omega rom etc etc etc. Nothing worked with my Brazilian simcard.

So, how I was coming back to Brazil from my vacation trip in Europe, and I had to use my phone here in Brazil I, against my wishes, bought a unlock code from a website. I paid US$25,00 and finaly I got my phone unlocked. I unlocked it with a stock rooted MI7 rom. After that I was afraid of flashing the Omega room and my phone went back to be region locked, but I flashed omega 2.3 and everything works fine. My phone is totally unlocked now.

I am pissed off about Samsung, I paid EUR999,90 for a Note3 and a Gear unlocked, and after that I had to pay US$25 more for what???

But I chose to pay once for all and go to hell samsung.

Just another thing it was pissing me off too, the phone was freezing everytime etc etc because of the indexservice, I froze it with titaniun and now the phone works like a charm.

I hope it helps you guys,

UNFREEZE Code worked for me to get out the Region Lock restriction. Let me tell you that the N9005 was not simlock locked, because I have tried some simcard of different carriers in the country of origin and they worked fine, so the phone was unlocked. And introducing the UNFREEZE code I turned OFF Region lock restriction.

Dear @Chainfire,

your work is very much appreciated! I am on N9005XXUBMI7 and everything worked perfectly (no errors or FCs, Knox 0x0).

I am wondering, though, if there is any chance seeing your app for XXUBMJ1 or even J3? Would that be more difficult to do than for I7? Be sure to receive a donation for your work, your efforts have to be supported as they contribute essentially to travel worldwide without having to worry about communication restrictions from the region lock!
