Hi, I bought an International version of Note 3 SM-N900 from US. Its mentioned as it will work for US Based SIM. Without knowing that I bought to india and tried with Indian Sim, it asked to enter Network SIM Unlock PIN. I tried following methods, but went in vain :
1. Called Indian Samsung Customer Service. They told they cant help it.
2. Took to Authorised Samsung Service Centre, they told they cant help it.
3. Tried with some online Unlock codes, nothing worked.
I have 2 solutions in front of me : Please let me know, which will work.
1. If I put an US SIM, which is in international roaming and make a call and talk for 5 mins, will the region lock gets removed. ?
2. If I take back to US, put an US Sim and talk for 5 mins and bring back to India and use with Indian SIM, will it work ?
IS there any other method you guys can suggest me ? Please help me.

hi
samsung india won't region unlock note 3
most online code provider will come into play if your note3 is simlocked+region locked
your only solution is to unlock it with spt box which uses super imei

What online unlock codes you have used? May be you didn't use a suitable codes.
Can you show the screenshot of the phone, when it asks for the unlock code?
How does it look like?

Hi, I have this same exact issue. Did you find a fix? My phone worked for 2 days until it suddenly didn't.
Is it possible your phone is blacklisted by the carrier?

Hi - What i did was got a US sim from my friend who came for a short visit and made a call to a number and kept it for 3 minutes . So it just unlocked the phone. If you have any friends try if that works for you.
Hey guys,
Saw a very good deal on ebay india, the seller is selling an unlocked version Note - 3 T-mobile (US), so it can work on Indian GSM carriers.
Now, if you see the description: it mentions:
"The OS Software is Unlocked to Work with all GSM SIMS.
You are not supposed to Update the OS Software as Unlock code is applied to it"
2 quick questions:
1) Can you help me understand what does the seller mean here? The device will obviously be running on JB, so i wont be able to update it to the officially released Kitkat? Will manually flashing a firmware from say Sammobile, revert the unlock code and make the device useless?
2) Buying a US phone for Indian use.. Will i miss out on any features? or will it be a problem in any way??
Please help me out guys

they are changing firmware to make sprint / tmobile / verizon as International in all popular hand sets
i checked 1 at & t phone and it was rooted - i checked via root checker app ?
what do you think
which carrier is unlockable ?
Hello all,
So I'm tempted to buy a Tim-branded S8 on Amazon.it because it's crazy cheap currently. I'm not in Italy but from what I've gathered online (and confirmed by a review on the product's page on Amazon), branding in Italy doesn't mean sim-locking so it should be usable with my local carrier. I'm in Europe anyway.
The only major difference with an unlocked phone (since it doesn't seem to have any hardware trace of the carrier) will be the software : potential TIM-related bloatware, delays for updates, etc.
My question would be : could it be possible to flash an official "clean" image, without affecting the phone and its warranty ? If so, which reference should I use ?
Thank you very much !
Yes, was going to ask if it was also sim locked.?
What county are you in and what sim do you use?
Out the box, if sim unlocked, it will work anyway.
Unless you want any advanced features.
Fw wise it's not a problem. I went the other way though, flashing EE ( UK) firmware into an unbranded unlocked BTU version to get VoLTE to work. It caused no issues.
Belgium but I guess European models pretty much have all bands available across Europe...
Thanks for the feedback !
I have the tim s8 here in the UK, flashed the h3g firmware and have WiFi calling and volte functioning without issue.

hi
Im also interested in buying a tim branded phone (https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B071RSVYSH/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H&psc=1) and was hoping if someone who has one could answer me couple of questions.
1) Does the phone have universal warranty? I mean if something was wrong with it and it needed any repair, could I just take it to a local Samsung store?
2) The model number on amazon site is G950, is that different from G950F? i couldn't find any reliable info on this..
Thanks in advance!
If the phone is designed for the European market then warranty applies regardless where you are (within Europe).
All European models are F-models.
You can flash an unbranded ROM through Odin to get rid of any branding which does not trigger Knox.
