I looked around pretty hard and found nothing. The only way I came up with was either a method for the note 2I think and the galaxy s3. From what I understand there is no simple way like the S3 at all which is unfortunate but also quite predictable. I'm surprised that there was for the SGS3 at all but not surprised no one has found one for the note.
I personally used www.cellunlocker.net and they were great, I had my u unlock code within about two minutes of paying, Ann it worked with no hassles. Highly t recommend them myself, and I got their name from others on this board who have used them with great results.

Im not sure if sim unlocking contributes to region unlocking. If the device is clearly region locked. I think it is best to contact samsung to resolve that. With anything regarding sim unlocking i can agree with the above user.
But i do wonder if there is any other free unlocking methods like the s3 note2 and s4. It seems the region unlock app made and released on the playstore also has the possibility of sim unlocking. According to the dev. Not sure.
Mines already unlocked but it could help my friends who are trying to find free unlocks not willing to spend money

region lock problem

hello,
i just got note 3 few days ago, didn't know anything about region lock and having big problems.
i've already tried region lock away by chainfire and no luck.
damn samsung you suck!
i claimed amazon guy who sold me but he says it's unlocked phone and region lock has nothing to do with him.
and i've already rooted so i can't even return it.
so i got $700 5.7inch galaxy note 3 alike wifi tab....
is there any way to get that unlock code?
do you know any descent site who might do it?
and if i install another rom (such as CM or etc) can i be using this phone?
thanks.

Did you already try this guy? I remember when I was following this problem in the beginning it was one of the things that worked for some people.

What I would recommend is as follows:
obtain an unlock code for your device from a reputable unlocking source. I use cellunlocker.net. They charge $32.99 USD which is steep but the turnaround time is usually less than an hour and they're 100% reliable. I have unlocked about 30 devices to date and if you are willing to post an unlock video and your experience on youtube, they will refund your fee. Once unlocked, follow the steps below...
1) Change your CSC to the carrier in which your SIM supports. Do this by obtaining your IMEI number through *#06# from the dialer menu.
2) With your IMEI noted from above, enter the following code *#272*[IMEI]# and you will be prompted with a region menu. Select the 3 letter region which corresponds with the carrier you wish to use. At this point, all should be working.
Hope this helps!

Samsung Galaxy S5 g900t t-mobile unlocked

Guys, yesterday I was able to unlock my s5 that my brother bought from t-mobile in the US and brought to me to use it with brazilian carriers.
I purchased an unlocking code from Cellf Services for about $35, I paid + $5 for the instant service they provide which they promise to delivery the code in less than 30 minutes. I indeed received mine in less than 30 minutes. :good:
They sent me an email telling the codes were ready and gave me an url. I was impressed. I thought I was buying only the network unlocking code, but they gave me NETWORK, PROVIDER, SUBPROVIDER and DEFREEZE codes.
Somewhere in the site, I think in the terms and conditions, they say if you record a video of the unlocking proccess, upload to youtube or to metacafe, and send them the link they'll refund you. That might have been the first terms and conditions I have ever read in my life... :cyclops:
Well, I didn't record the video of the proccess because I was at work and was too worried about the possible region lock :crying:
Whatever, I inserted the non suported sim card I wanted to use, booted the beast and was propted for the "SIM network unlock pin", typed the network code provided by cellfservices and boom, unlocked :victory: . Worked like a charm. No region lock in my case, or maybe it's the same region since it's south america... who knows...
As of the other codes, I didn't test them, only needed the network one, so I don't know if they'll work, probably will...
Now I'm happy like a chick in the dumpster.

You think, every SIM card even in other region, it will work? I'm planning to buy one and send it to the Philippines.

Firstly you have to make a minimim 5 minutes call from country where you bought your phone. After then regional lock will be removed

I can't say. I've searched extensively about the region lock on the S5 before purchasing the sim unlocking code. Cellunlocker, one of the unlocking sites I found, explicitly stated that "*All USA and European Carriers ARE subject to Region Locking". However, saying they're 'subject to region locking' doesn't mean they definetly are.
There's a BGR.com article (google 'bgr galaxy s5 region lock') confirming the region lock of the european S5 with a picture of one of the box stickers warning it.
Are you planning to buy one in USA?
Mine I'm almost sure wasn't region locked. I am not sure if mine came with it since my sister in law opened the box to avoid paying customs duty and was missing one of the stickers, but if there was one of this sticker, she wouldn't have bought it.
The official way to region unlock the S5 would be making calls that sum 5 minutes on the region it was purchased.
Check the box for this sticker prior buying. If you can, use the device for some time before sending it.
If you do this -- I give you no warrant -- I think you should be ok... I personally would go for it.
In my case, I might have been lucky, else I would have to wait for some weeks (maybe months) until someone managed to hack it.

Yeah. Am planning to buy another here. I just wanted to know, where did your sister-in-law bought that? Maybe, that'll also work when unlock and bring to Philippines.

S6 EE UK Sim Unlock

Folks just a note on my experience attempting to sim unlock my S6 on EE UK, I attempted to unlock my device using a few online unlocking service providers, 2 of them provided codes that were unsuccessful and the other worked first time.
The code that worked for me was from SamsungCodeSource.com and I would recommend them for anybody looking to get their handset unlocked...........for the record I'm not affiliated with them in any way just thought I would share to save anyone else the hassle of going through several unlock providers.
Feel free to add any others that have worked for you to allow other users to get their handset unlocked first time.

Did mine through EE, first time they came back and said I had not had contract over 6 months (which I had) rang them back and eventually got the code in a text message on day 11 or 12 of the second request.

I phoned EE after waiting 11 days and the guy done it there and then for me, said originally there was a delay in getting the code form Samsung.

I used ebay and received a code in 3 hours for £11. I do not know if the phone was bought as part of a contract as it was a gift. BTW do you guys have the app called sec.abt showing in applications under settings? It is a rootkit that comes with EE phones, everyday it sends about 5 text messages to EE which is costing me like crazy! I am going to do a stock flash with odin and hopefully it will go.

SIM Unlock Rogers Note 4 N910W8

I'm wondering if anyone has had any success unlocking a Rogers Note 4 N910W8 phone for free.
If so, could you please provide detailed instructions or point me in the right direction where I can find it?
I've been searching for some time and really haven't come across anything I could trust.
Thanx in advance

I would also like to know if anyone has bee able to do this. It's a 3-4 year old phone, so maybe some free methods to get the unlock codes have been released online?
These phones still have some life if them and it would be a shame to have to throw them out because of the damn carrier lock...

the carrier won't do it for free even after the new law passed?

This is the most reliable service I've ever used, both with an older Samsung and a cheap HTC: https://unlock.canadagsm.ca/samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-network-code/ It's not free but the code works and it's only a one-time cost. If I were you, I'd much rather pay once for a reliable code than risk it with some shady method.
