[Q] Region locked Note 3 - can i flash Poland 4.4.2 update?

If i have Orange (UK carrier) region locked Note 3 model: SM-N9005, can i flash Poland update [N9005XXUENA6]?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=24151
I saw many people around the EU are flashing this but does carrier - region locked function have an influence here?
I understand region locked is only about preventing other SIM cards to be inserted and there should not be a problem but you know, i would like to know for sure. Is any one here who has done that and can confirm it works?
Thanx

Your region lock will gi away if you do 5mins of calla in your hime country.
Then flash the kitkat

It might be very relevant if you are carrier-locked (in which case I strongly advise against) or just region-locked - and even if you are not carrier-locked I would not suggest JUST YET to jump on N9005XXUENA6 Polish (XEO) version - the thing is that your current CSC might be something that is not supported by the multi-CSC in the XEO version and things might not always go well in such conditions. That is why I am a little concerned about going to the XEO version myself - even if now there is a confirmed way to keep root and knox 0x0.

Thank you for warning.

i need some advice.
I have an Unlocked and Rooted SM-N9005 from Europe (XXUBMJ), but I can't use it in Canada, and it says, Not registered on network. is there anyway that I can change my firmware or install a new ROM or a new Modem so I can use the phone with Canadian sim card???

It'll be region locked if it's a European model by the sounds of it, try region lock away and see if that works, failing that, a Custom ROM usually fixes it also.

So its posssible for me to install Custom Roms e.g. Omega Rom on a Pink Note 3 that was already unlocked? I'm using an Asian SIM and when I bought the pink note 3 for my wife, the phone was for EU SIM. I checked the phone status on download mode, knox has been tripped, binary status to modified/custom etc etc. Looks like the phone was rooted to have region lock away installed and then unrooted. Planning on install Omega Rom but wanted to make sure the phone will still read the Asian SIM.

Check with the custom ROM OP if it has the CSC (sim region) you require

I've already did that. I installed region lock away, and region unlocked it. What custom ROM do you think I have to install? Do you have any trusted source so I can get a custom ROM from them?

Check the Android dev section, there's a few decent ROMs in there. - I have pretty much used them all on 4.3 and tried all now on 4.4
EDIT: X-Note is regionfree as is Omega, both are very popular, however SweetROM and AndroidNOW now can certainly hold their own and are just as good (also region free)

Is your device carrier locked? Region lock shouldn't matter as long as your in Europe.

RegionLock

Hi,
I have a question.
My phone Note 3 AP: N9005XXUBMJ3
CP: N9005XXUBMJ2
CSC: N9005OXXBMJ3
So I rooted using Kingo, then applied the RegionLock Away, but the phone is still region locked.
Now I have a SIM from the region where the phone is, but no roaming.
My question is, is there a way to speak the 5 minutes on that sim without the roaming or money on it for that matter?
Or at least make it believe that I did it?
Just wild guessing.
Thx.

No roaming with an original-country SIM? That is strange.
What does this program say that the CSC currently is?

No roaming on the original country sim isn't that strange, some operators don't allow roaming unless you specifically request it.

I assumed that one was checked - meaning that the SIM roams in another phone it is OK. If it does not I do not see why he mentions it here.

My CSC is ROM (Romania).
I mentioned that is not activated, the roaming, because, if I had it, I could speak the 5 mins and the phone would be region unlocked.
PS Not any closer to a solution.

I am probably missing something - the roaming is not activated on the SIM or does not work on the phone? (or in other words - does the SIM work in another phone?)
If the SIM can not roam it is of no help, and even if it can you might STILL see unpleasant surprises (reported by plenty of users around - having problems even after doing the 5 minutes thing).
Have you tried posting in the the RegionLockAway thread so that Chainfire could have a chance to see what is wrong? MJ3 is clearly listed there are working so there might be only something minor that is missing, and Chainfire could be the guy that understands what is that thing missing.
I am not even asking if you have checked that the root is indeed working (with a root-checker or similar)
The alternative is to write directly to Samsung (mentioning your original warranty card and so on) and ask for a region-unlock code - I believe 2-3 users have reported success on that (after 2-4 weeks usually).

I have decided to install 4.3 from Hong Kong on this phone as there is no region lock on Hong Kong N9005. will the region lock go away when i replace the european firmware with the Hong Kong Firmware
Thanks in Advance

it is not true else region lock away from chain fire would not work mate.
hope there is some other reason or it may work. i guess there is something related to modem and csc file.

I did replaced my region locked ROMania with BTU UK (supposedly region free) and the phone was still region locked. Only after updating the modem to an earlier version (from MJ3 to MJ1) was I able to use the regionlock away tool.

If I m not mistaken using region lock away tool means knox 0x1

Dear All, the question is very simple.
1. Does the region lock go away if a European region lock Firmware (unlocked cellular network N9005) is replaced with Singapore (no region lock) firmware.
2. Since MCC of sim is linked to CSC code which is also linked to the Product code which in turn links the modem software which embeds the black listed networks. we need clarity on it. if the Product code is the culprit then can we change the product code of European model to unlocked region product lets say singapore and then install the singapore firmware. will this remove the region lock.
3. Has any one tried the above two and got any answers. Developers please intervene.
Thanks in Advance..

1. If the firmware is equal, not less, and you are willing to take a small risk, but first do some research if this will not brick your phone, try it yourself. I would say no, but unless it is dangerous give it a try.
2. Too long for me, also too complex. Try it with the vets.
3. This is a thread started by me, so it is unlikely it has a great coverage. Try writing in some of the big threads or create a new one.

[Q] SM-N910C LTE not working in UK

Hi guys,
I am new to Samsung but like many I was tempted by the Note 4. I bought my Note 4 in Dubai (unlocked and not tied to any provider) but when I tried using it in the UK with a UK SIM (EE) I am not able to make/receive calls when set on LTE/WCDMA/GSM but I can when I select GSM Only. Samsung UK is not interested, Samsung Dubai poit me towards Samsung Egypt (because apparently this is an Egypt region phone) and Samsung Egypt do not understand what my problem is and keep sending my region unblock codes when the phone is not region locked.
Has anyone had this before and if yes what did you do to fix this?

SIM works on my HTC One and 4G signal here good so I do not think it is the SIM. I updated firmware two days ago using Kies but no change. I am starting to suspect some sort of network blacklisting by Samsung but not sure. I also spoke to my network provider and problem not with them.
I want to test the phone in Middle East first to make sure that it is not some hardware fault bit if not my only option may be rooting and flashing different ROMs. I am also hoping that Lollipop may solve it but no way to get it now as I am not rooted yet.

Download Samsung phone info from play store, check your region, also you can check knox warranty is void? U can also check refurbishment check from same app, seems to me u purchased online, not from authorised store of dubai.

This are the mine screen shot for dubai rom, u can compare.

Thanks for the screenshots. I compared with yours and it is now even more clear that mine is an Egypt phone. Do you know if I can flash the UAE firmware on my phone with or without rooting and if that would work so that the CP, SP and CSC are the same as yours rather than the Egypt ones?

my friends have this similar problem and its fix
This is how "you need a working sim from the country when you buy the samsung phone"
all you have to do is make a international call for 15 minutes to the original country
example u bought the phone in egypt so u need a working egypt simcard just call the operator in egypt and listen to the operator for 15 minuts from UK after 15 minutes (make it 20 minutes just in case) turn off your phone and change it with the UK sim card
this method works for me
u dont need to flash or root the phone

Same problem here. I tried whole different ways including reflashing ROM but didn't work. Then I found Region unlock app by chainfire. It worked like a charm. Also you need to root your mobile first. Rooting method is somewhere in xda. Search it . Hope it helps.

Which means the attached image was my problem. I guess it is same as your problem. I simply don't know what is meant by "country locked or sim locked"

I live in Argentina and I see that the 2 Core Prime G360F for my kids purchased 3 days ago in parís, have the regional SIM block. The Fnac seler dont warned about this.
Now I see that on the lower side of the boxes has a warning on regional SIM lock. The solution of Samsung is to activate a 5 minute call with a European SIM. For me, it is a lote complicated from my country
I'm seeing that an application that unlocks it for Note 3 rooted. Somebody knows if esta apk with The G360F work?
