It is my understanding that unlocking your handheld without permission from your carrier has become illegal. You could only unlock your device with your carrier's permission. In any case, I think it is still kind of early to come up with a way of unlocking the device without the device being available to the masses.

T-Mobile and Sprint to do not lock their bootloaders. AT&T only started doing it lately and it's pretty random. They did lock the S4 bootloader, so I'm expecting the N3's to be locked as well. Verizon always locks their bootloaders. There's underground pre-planning going on right now, but the devices will need to be in hand to start tinkering effectively.

I believe he means sim unlock for use on other carriers!

SIM Unlock
If you are talking about SIM unlock I believe both will be unlocked according to the description on negrielectronics.com
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 32GB LTE (T-Mobile) (Unlocked) (Black)

If I'm not mistaken, the FCC pushed for the reversal of this.
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/05/technology/fcc-urges-a-right-to-unlock-cellphones.html
Regardless, if I own the device, I have no problem breaking a law I feel is unjust and unlocking it. Not to mention the fact that I do not reside in the US, so the law would not apply to me. I plan on unlocking mine on day one. Either via some "special menu" which is often found or a paid service.

I may be incorrect but I did read somewhere that they were making different versions for each country and that the one version cannot be used in the other countries.

[q] unlock code for samsung phones

I was interested in getting the s4 I plan on going on a cruise soon to Bahamas and was interested in unlocking the phone,I do not have it yet but wanted to know if someone can try it out for me.What I was referring to was Samsung unlock code that someone found in this thread below:

You can call Sprint and have the SIM card officially unlocked. If you are a new customer you have to wait 90 days before they let you do this though, if you're an old customer it shouldn't be a problem.

From what I understand Sprint has to do something on their end to unlock the SIM. It will only work on overseas networks too, they aren't unlocking it for domestic networks.

I just called sprint to try to unlock my s4 and they told me that the phone has to be active on the account for 90 days before they unlock it. Not be a customer for 90 days or more.

I'm not trying to sound like a **** but just want to make the note that I have a Sprint Blackberry Tour 9630 from 2009 which cam SIM unlocked and is currently being used domestically with a T-Mobile SIM card.
I also have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and am really hoping they will allow for it to be SIM unlocked for domestic use as well. At least they didn't ship it with a locked bootloader.

Sorry, I didn't know about the Blackberry. Maybe because Blackbaerrys are somewhat unusual devices they made an exception. In any case, that would make it the only Sprint GSM device that I have ever heard of that was capable of operating in the US. All iOS and Androids have always been blocked for usage in the US. That said though, there have been hacks to some of them which enabled US use, though sometimes at the expense of not being able to use the device with CDMA while the hack was in place (meaning they couldn't be used on Sprint).
Hello, guys.
Who looking to unlock own Samsung S4 Sprint - please send to me PM. I have one way which shall to be checked. I'm still don't havemy own Sprint's S4 on hands to check if this way will works

Yep... it was a fruitless venture.
it would be great if we could get the sim unlocked for domestic use.
I'd be happy with unlocking it for non US GSM providers at the moment, I find it ridicules that I have to wait 90 days after having the account with Sprint for 2 years. It is a new phone and I need to travel now.
Anyways if there is any way to unlock it I'd like to know.

[Q] Where to buy UNLOCK Galaxy Note 3 in US?

Can anyone tell me where I can buy an unlock GSM version of the Galaxy Note 3 in the US with good customer service and full warranty of the phone.
I don't like buying from sellers on Amazon as if the phone fails, it might be really difficult to get warranty or return.
Last time I was able to buy the HTC One Unlock from HTC directly. But doesn't seem that Samsung has anything similar.
Thanks in advance

There are are a few places that I know have carried unlocked GSM phones in the past.Try www.negrielectronics.com or www.mobilecityonline.com or www.welectronics.com they should be able to get you what you want. I would also suggest getting a SquareTrade Warranty to cover it for damage since it will be pricey.
I can vouch for Negri Electronics, I've bought a GSM unlocked Galaxy S3 from them before. Does anyone know if there is a GSM unlocked version that works with AT&T LTE? Would really like to keep my unlimited data plan on AT&T. Thanks.
There will be options, but pretty much guaranteed that it will be an international version. Hence no LTE support..
ATT has been locking down the bootloader s recently and now the knox... No more development for ATT devices....

Most prbly by unlocked they mean Sim unlocked-you can use it on another carrier. I highly doubt that the bootloader is unlocked that if its the At&t version.

There are other methods but they cost a fee and honestly I don't know how legal they are although they do work. There was an article on xda about a week ago about an unlocking website. I forgot the link though but it costs about 10-15 dollars.
EDIT: Here is a link to the xda article https://www.xda-developers.com/benefits-carrier-unlocking/ also no prices on the site that they mentioned but I have found unlocks for the above price. I just don't trust them. I feel that is easier and safer to go through your carrier.

He's asking for a SIM unlock, not bootloader unlock, and the Verizon device (as he mentioned, just added a 0 to the model #) gets unlocked naturally after you insert an active SIM into it. Do you know anyone in the US with a Verizon account? It should take a few minutes.

Hi,
An update from unlockunit.com:
Hi Hackerjj,
Unfortunately, if you cannot find your Phone Model, Country or Network listed on our website, we are unable to generate the unlocking codes for your device.
If you get the message ‘’Unavailable’’ after entering the order details on our website, one of the below situations may occur:
1. Your phone is locked within a CDMA and not a GSM network (you can check on www.gsmarena.com if your phone is a CDMA model)
2. Your phone is not part of the networks/countries that we currently unlock
In order to receive the correct unlock code, it’s very important that you select the correct country and network you originally bought your phone from. In case you place an order with the incorrect order details, we will not be able to refund your payment.
We are constantly improving our service and we hope that very soon we will start to offer unlocking codes for devices locked to Verizon, U.S.A. such as yours.
Thank you for your collaboration and we apologize we couldn't help you this time.
Have a great day!
Kind regards,
Ionut Z.

It needs an active Verizon sim in it for 24 to 48 hours before it will umlock. Once unlocked it should receive a message saying so.

not true.. i never understood why people will come in here and trust anything anyone says when it comes to sim unlocking lol..
verizon unlock policy states to prevent theft/fraud users are required to activate the device with verizon then after 60 days the device will be unlocked..
if his verizon purchased g975u was never activated on verizon then he hasnt even started his 60 day wait period.. verizon specifically implemented this policy because of people doing what the op is doing... purchase a phone for cheap somehow then use it on some other carrier/network without ever using verizon..
i am sure they had lots of theft and fraud going on with users scamming vzw devices for cheap then reselling for profit since they were unlocked theyd work anywhere out thebox so thisis their way of trying to combat that..

bro, your device isnt a "g9750u" its a g975u.. theres no such thing as a g9750u lol.. also, flashing a rom wont unlock the phone.. also, you cant flash any custom roms anyways since u have alockedbl and no, ur device is not bl unlockable either

not true.. i never understood why people will come in here and trust anything anyone says when it comes to sim unlocking lol..
verizon unlock policy states to prevent theft/fraud users are required to activate the device with verizon then after 60 days the device will be unlocked..

Thanks! I had bought a Verizon Sim, it is on the way, I think I will receive it in 2 weeks, after that we will know it the cellphone is unlockable. This is the last thing I can do, I think this cellphone is un-rootable also a pain. Another way is to use this provider, but I have not completely trust and is very expensive. https://store.unlockboot.com/remote-unlock-service/
