We can't do much more than speculate unless you provide us with specific details about your phone. We need to at least know the model. You can find out more about your phone with an app like Phone Info.
Do you want to install that app and tell us what it says for these items?
phone model, baseband, board /chip name, fake /clone detector

Something is not right there. I suspect you made a typo. If the phone really says 4.2.2, then it's a fake running Android JB. But probably you have a real 900F phone with Hong Kong i.e. Chinese 4.4.2 firmware. Explaining the Chinese characters. And you probably just need to configure your APN /LTE information for TMobile.
It would help if you install the app I suggested and gave us the other details.

Yes agree, you need KK? just go to check, or maybe get from samfirmware.
If samfirmware doesn't have what you are lookin for, blame it on samsung they are to slow to release to all region.

why is this giving out my personal info? I didnt, all I did was give my provider and what country I live in. if they can steal my 10 billion dollars I own, then they are pretty damn good haha. I wanted to know if anyone else in australia has got 4.4.2 yet at all?
I really can't find the answer here or anywhere. (i've been searching all morning)
I've been reading allot about it but know is me question.
Is my note 3 Branded or not and can i just install stock 4.4.2 and then flash X-note or any other custom firmware?

Now according do this it is just a normal Note 3. I have another carrier in it with LTE working and everything is working.
BUT When i boot the phone there is a t-mobile boot animation. (thats all i can find of t-mobile in and on the phone)
I know T-mobile does this with all there phones and my last Note 2 had this to and i could just Root and Flash all i wanted like it was a normal version. Now can i also do that with this Note 3. And how can i know the difference between a T-mobile Note 3 and a International One.

Its probably only the T-Mobile bootanimation which is added. Should be fine to root it and flash custom roms on it if you want. Search in the T-Mobile thread for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile to be sure.

I guess you have a SM-N900T, look in the link in my above post for how to root it and which roms//mods are available. Look in device info for the correct model number or in the Phone Info app from Play as linked above.

Just to make sure bro, thought initialy you might have a US T-Mobile device Dutch T-Mobile devices are not branded, you can also flash a PHN (unbranded) rom from www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/. This will not trip the KNOX void warranty.

I probably thought already so, but i didn't know what changed and didn't wanted to brick it from the start. And i really want to do custom so the KNOX warranty can kiss my ass. I never bricked a device by being careful and can change the hardware myself. And if i really need the warranty i buy a new phone. i switch every half year or so i never use that.
Thanks for the input i'm gonna have a happy time flashing

You should type all the steps you took and I mean all. There are countless thing that can go wrong, so only saying "it doesn't work" is useless.
There are still people managing to sim unlock. I would look for an old 4.2.2 or 4.3 custom rom and an old modem and flash it to your phone. Then try the steps again and if it work then flash the latest rom and modem.

I have a Galaxy S4 on Bell network (Canadian), the model is I337. Last year, I followed an instruction rooted my phone (but I cannot remember what I did :silly::crying:, which method I used thru ordin). Everything is working fine after root, but my phone's model number changed to GT-I9505G since then. It seems has no impact to functionalities, but just wondering is there a way to change the model number back to the actual model it should be?
Update:
Found the way to change it from another thread

I'm not sure what's going on but it seems your phone has been hacked to make it look like an sgh-i337. If you're in Canada you should have a sgh-i337m though, not a sgh-i337 which is the At&t version. I9505G is an international variant I think.

yup, the label on my phone is SGH-i337M (sorry, I missed a letter). I might used the procedure for I9505G to root my Canadian version phone. Luckily, my phone was not bricked. I don't know where the model number be written, just curious if that can be changed back to SGH-i337M?

Are you looking in settings, about phone, or are you talking about when the phone boots up it says i9505G on the Samsung splash screen? I you are talking about in settings/about phone, I am sure it can be changed back if you have the know how. As for the splash screen, that comes alng with being rooted I would imagine. My at&t Galaxy S2 says i9100 on its splash screen because I rooted it.

I am looking for the way to change it on settings/ about phone. More details, on my Google Play store, it also shows my phone is GT-I9505G (dunno if that's why some apps complaining not compatible with this device in Play store), same as when I restore the backup from google. Can this be changed back to SGH-i337M?
It can be changed back, but you need the Android programming technical know how to do it.

Since I am only an amateur modder and not a developer, I wouldn't even know where to start myself. Have you tried swappng out the kernel? This sometimes can change the model number in settings.

So you assumed that the fixing the IMEI would get you your SIM network? Did you get the famous "baseband: Unknown" problem?
Because that's something entirely different... or so I've been told.

All of these questions can be answered by taking a look at "About Device" in Settings

I had the same problem. Tried all kind of difficult how-tos, but the one which did the trick is just try to flash another Kitkat firmware (one meant for a different country). I bought my Note 3 in Belgium, so I assumed it needed a Belgian firmware. That was not the case. A French firmware did the job!
