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?

How to unlock the Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-R970
I bough this phone online thinking that i will unlock and keep using on different carriers even outside the US (GSM)
I have done a lot of researches online and i cannot find any solution. The imei is only 14 Digits and almost all online unlocking services doesn't have this model.
The usually codes like *#0011#, *#27663368378# they doesn't work at all.
I have tried to go to unlock stores or guys who knows to unlock phones and he said that this phone cannot be unlocked.
phone has a sim card slot so it should be CDMA&GSM
When i insert a different sim card provider it says Invalid Sim Card so i cannot enter any unlock code
ANY IDEA or i will lose 500$ for bad phone
Uscc is not a gsm phone the sim card slot is used for thw 4g service the phone itself is cdma

Samsung gs4 sch-970c (cricket)
Samsung has told me this phone will work either gsm or cdma. Cdma is the way cricket first sold it. It cannot be unlocked. It is cdma. It has to be flashed to a new carrier after it is rooted. The sim is locked via software. Not many codes and all the unlock codes you read about are for gsm. The ##366633# code you mention gets you to a disable or enable developer mode.
i also have the same issue. Not resolved yet. but I did find out this that might help: if i pull up a website that checks the MEID number it gives me the whole description of my phone plus an extra digit on the IMEI number. I wonder if this is why third party unlock sites cant help me
Who has unlocked cricket sch-r970c?
Same problem. Cricket said they cannot find the unlock code if the phone was never activated. So this was never activated.
I have rooted it to OptimizedCM-12-1-20151130. Is it now unlocked?
OR, who has successfully flashed a custom ROM to unlock the software lock on it?
The struggle continues...
I just repaired my USC s4 LCD digitizer and now that I am no longer a USC customer wanted to unlock it so I did some checking, if you go to US cellular they will unlock the phone for you, I got my unlock code, but they said they couldn't complete the process if the phone was rooted (Which mine is), you would have to reinstall the USC original firmware, or the latest firmware, to get it to unlock, then root it. I am doing some research now to find out if there is indeed an alternative to unlock a rooted phone...
I just left US CELLULAR where I was told nothing below the s5 could be unlocked,and the only suggestion from any one employed there was to call customer service.
you try RegionLockapp ???
I unlocked my t mobile s4 with it, i had to flash to a earlier firmware, then root, then use RegionLockapp, then re-flash whatever rom you want.
Hello everyone. I've got Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 4.4.2 and what i want is to have my mobile phone sim unlocked. i'm currently on T-Mobile Croatia nad i'm trying to insert my new SIM card from another operator... when mobile phone boots it asks for some code. As i don't have the code, i don't know what to do, and as i'm contractly connected with my original operator, i cannot request free sim unlock. However, i don't want to pay for the code either. So what are my chanses to get my mobile code sim unlocked? tried this metnod: android.gs/sim-unlock-samsung-galaxy-s4-i9505-i9500/
i cannot get over service mode menu after i enter 1. it's not doing anything, and as i see, this only works on 4.3 androids. So my is 4.4.2 and i'm unable to enter that mode.
please help me!
You have to unlock ur phone by IMEI. Unique way of make it free is buying a unlock code. Good luck :highfive:

Had this experience before. Purchased an S4. Then tried to unlock through the service menu based on a XDA tutorial. Didn't work and it could not be unlocked with a right unlock code later on. Eventually, I returned it and get another S4.
This happened to me on galaxy s4 but it was my mistake. My s4 was rooted and I had attempted to unlock using region lock away for unlocking region lock. But when I received the unlock code(sim unlock) i forgot i had left my region lock away on. So i had to reverse that region lock away (or just restored my phone) and retried the code, which then worked fine.

Did you ever find a solution?
Check out the second post here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/help-awesome-t3605470
The certain carriers are Cricket / ATT. If your NCK is not working, you have to get the MCK code. I have a special hotline you can call about the issue since normal att tech support cant help. check your pms
I'm getting a Nokia 6 tomorrow but it is going to be locked to a different network than I currently use so need to unlock it. There are plenty of sites that say they do it but I don't know if I can trust any of them. Is there any reliable and trustworthy sites that do this? I normally use ebay for unlock codes but I can't see anyone selling them for this.
From which region you are, and the phone is of which region..
The phone will be Irish and locked to the Three Ireland network.
Simple goto this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/guide-oreo
And follow the instructions carefully..
Note: after flashing Mena firmware, see if your phone supports your regions network or not, if yes then you can continue to install rest OTA according to the instructions
If it works then enjoy, if not, reply back with your feed back
I assume you mean this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/guide-oreo-follow-steps-t3723776 Your link just leads to the forum. If so, how does that let me use any sim in a locked phone. Don't you normally need an unlock code. If I can't use my sim in it, the phone is useless to me so I'm holding off buying it until I can confirm I can definitely get it unlocked.
Look if the chinese varient TA-1000 With manually USA varient TA-1003 installed and sold thousands of piece in India and working fine..
Though Indian and Chinese has different network region
So why this wont help you....
Now its up to you
You can give a try
If this works then give a feedback
I'm in exactly the same situation, Nokia 6 locked into Ireland's Three network.
Any advice on how to SIM unlock so it can be used on another network?
Well visit this site to unlock your device
http://www.three.ie/unlock-my-phone/
Remember you will require your non-three SIM and IMEI number of your device
follow the steps given on the link, you could unlock your phone
I m not 100% sure, because m from India, so first check the site
[optional]
you can buy unlocked phone from here
https://www.amazon.com/Nokia-Unlock...8&qid=1517089335&sr=1-3&keywords=Nokia+6&th=1
since this one is unlocked, check it, i hope this could also work for you guys
Alright so I have a Nokia 6 from 3 Ireland.
Iv spent I don't know how long trying to get an unlock code for the phone so I could use it on my travels. Everywhere I went looking for a code couldn't find me one.
So today I just threw in a different sim and low and behold! It syncs up to the new network no problem.. It was never sim locked to begin with.. or is it possible the recent oreo updates had something to do with it??
So folks! If you've got a Nokia 6 you want to try on a different network just try a sim from a different network and see what happens.. Maybe this is common knowledge? But I couldn't find any info anywhere!
