There was sim unlock for my old trusted i9100. Are there same tools/method for N9005?
Yeah. Just download the RegionAway made by Chainfire from the playstore. Its a paid app but very cheap. It will sim unlock and region unlock your N9005. At least it did for me. You will need to root your phone though to make the application run and do its thing. My N9005 was SIM locked to 3 UK network. After rooting, downloading and running chainfire's app, i am now using my Tmobile UK sim in it. Best of luck and hope this helps. Let me know if i can be of assistance.

Thanks! Very interesting indeed! But I wonder what Chainfire will say about sim unlock. Coz he says "but it may or may not remove the SIM lock". If it removes SIM Lock and Regoin Lock it is miracle app!
And very cheap really! But it is easier for me to donate via paypal.

Hi is this the only way to sim unlock my uk note 3 n9005 so i can change.sim also after i have rooted and used region away to unlock sim can i unroot and will it still be sim unlocked or not thanks
If you are a 3 user I believe they will sim unlock it for free. Most UK providers will offer this service but some may charge .

Does root actually remove sim lock?
Root doesnt unlock your phone however there is an app available in the market which allows you to sim unlock if youre rooted.
Google it.. you will find it
Edit: its called galaxsim unlock

Hope you got your answer, post in the Q & A section next time.
Thread closed.
My contract just expired so got an unlock code from AT&T, but it doesn't work. According to the instruction email, it won't work on a rooted device.
Does anyone have experience, if I odin to stock, would the unlock code work, and if the phone would stay unlocked if I flash a custom ROM?
Also, could anyone post the files to odin to MDL? The link it the thread that had it no longer works.
Thanks.

You cant unlock with at&t sim!!
You need tmobile sim card to unlock. If you tried already go head back to stock do unlock aim with different carried sim then flash what ever rom you want.
Good luck

Thanks. Luckily I have a Peruvian SIM card, from when I traveled, I used that to trigger the code and failed twice to unlock. I know I only have 5 attempts total so I wanted to make sure to get it right the next time. Did you tried just unrooting on your custom ROM? I'm wondering if that would be enough or going back to stop is required.

Flashing another firmware will not help to unlock your device.
Typically you will need the unlock code to unlock the phone.
You can buy it online, or follow this topic to request it for free (if any luck).
Hello Guys,
I just switched from the iPhone to Note 4 and i am a really happy about the phone.
Only i have a few (noob) questions:
I have bought the phone from Mediamarkt (no contract) in the Netherlands. The problem is that some Note 4 users got the LP 5.0.1 update (BOC3) and i don't. You can see the information about my phone in the picture.
Can i use odin to update my phone or shall i wait a couple days or weeks? As an old Apple user i must say the updates are very confusing. If Apple released an update then everybody would recieve it.
Thanks!

You could be waiting longer than a few weeks such is the nature of updates in the Android sphere.
Is your phone 'unlocked and unbranded' or is it 'sim locked / branded to a carrier'. Buying it off contract or on PAYG from your mobile carrier does not mean it's unbranded / unlocked.
If it is unbranded / unlocked you can indeed flash the 5.0.1 firmware via ODIN 3.0.9
I hesitate to suggest doing it if your device is branded and locked to a network until you at least sim unlock it from that network.
If your unsure easiest way to test is to pop a microsim from another carrier into it and you'll quickly find out.
Re: flashing via ODIN
If you using an Apple computer such as macbook - I would recommend you run ODIN in boot camp rather than via a VM such as parallels.

Thanks for your answer!
I could not test it with another SIM but i saw on the website of Mediamarkt that the phone is unlocked. Is there another possibilty to see if the phone is locked or unlocked?
And if it is locked is it then possible to unlock it and then do the update?
Many thanks

Is mediamarkt a general phone seller? or are they a carrier? If it's just a phone retailer and you don't have any splash screen or carrier apps installed, then yes it's likely an unbranded unlocked model.

Mediamarkt is a big electronics shop, they sell everything. (mediamarkt.nl)
No apps installed, i think it is an unlocked version. Do i lose my warranty of i update from the buildnumer ANK to BOC3?

I am from Germany ... I bought my wife's phone from MediaMarkt here and I flashed Lollipop with Odin with no issues. You should be okay to do it too.
