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.

Goto sammobile.com. You'll have to register but it's free. You can get the firmware there.

Well I know there has been at least one firmware upgrade, because that upgrade to 4.2.2 allowed me to move apps to my sd card.
BUT with 4.2.2 I cannot unlock my S4. So like I did with S3, I want to downgrade it to unlock.

I'm assuming you want to try one of the free unlock methods? I'd stay away from them. You're only allowed so many attempts, I think it's 5, and then you're screwed and it won't let you unlock.
If you're going to buy an unlock or get it from your carrier then mdj or mg1 firmware will work fine

what i wanted to know is that , is the S4 i bought legit ? i mean in my place there are lots of S4 clones , but what makes this different is that clones in my place use exynos quad cores , but this S4 i have right here has a snapdragon and 1.89 ghz krait something ..
plus i wanted to know more about it's version , as i can't OTA update , says it's custom , i'm not even rooted and everything is stock ..
Haha your title says need more info, well It would help if you provide more info for us to work out if you have fake or not,
Goto menu ➡settings ➡device ➡ about device and either provide a screen shot or write all the information there.

attached two screenshots , one from cpu z and another from settings
Thanks.
From what I can see it looks legit
Galaxy S4 GT-I9505.
however I don't know what country the CSC would be.
My guess is its Indian phone
I can only find xxuamdk so with yours xxuamcl the "uam" sounds like indian.
My guess is your download is corrupt you said you have slow internet which is my clue.
I'm guessing if you get the uamdk and flash in Odin it should work.
My strong advice is if you want to root and go custom don't go for the current 4.3 with Knox boot loader.

First read and learn what Knox is and what it does. Then decide if you even want Knox on your phone. If you don't want it, stay away from that firmware you mention. Stay away from all official firmwares. Then you can only flash custom roms. That rom is Knox free, but it still contains the updated bootloader (correct me if i'm wrong).
no luck with flashing , i tried using 4.2.2 from brazil , it fails on odin , i tried repartitioning with a pit file , it says secure check fail : pit , oh my what should i do this is pretty messed up :/

Your very lucky that pit file has checks, you need to do a lot more reading about Samsung methods before messing around anymore with your phone, if you had have read up on what pit file is you would have found out NOT to go messing with that, its ment for advanced persons who know what they are doing and can be very big problem if you make error.
You asked what to do, well my friend all I can say is read read read and understand fully what you are actually reading.
I am quite advanced with HTC phones but these Samsung's are a different animal and I'm not fully understanding yet...
So please don't mess with your phone unless you know what it is your actually doing. I say this cause I have no idea why you are trying to use pit file to flash ROM.

Hi,
I want to install the international firmware on the Note 3 (SM-N900A) to bypass the sim-lock. I'll be getting the firmware from the web page "galaxynote3root".
Does anybody know if that's possible?
The reason I'm doing it is that I want to unlock sim. I know there are sites that sell unlock codes for very little money but they warned me that I need to use the phone at least once in AT&T network first and there's no way I can do it, so...
If anybody knows about a different way, please speak up.
Thank you in advance for your answers!

Guys are you serious ?? The second you flash note 4 rom you will get your phone bricked don't listen to the trolls here
The N4 firmware has unique system drivers that are incompatible with any other phone, it will not work on the N3. It probably won't even flash. I'm sure you could extract the apps and install some of the system apks, but please don't actually try to flash the whole firmware or you will likely brick your phone.

goto settings more networks under connection tab then mobile networks then network operators and search for them. If that fails try differ rom and if that fails I am assuming you have somehow changed your modem. Find one for your country and flash using odin.
Also try Kies emergency firmware recovery using windows laptop or pc.

same problem now as mine my IMEI just became 350050500009692 /01 emergency call only why???
some nice paper weights at least lol none of you have efs back up ? tried restoring it if you do common rule with samsungs all ways back up you efs folder
the sad thing there is mine I don't have my backup
Try NV restore (If you have it Pre-backed up on your phone from factory- at least mine did not have on the N910C but it existed on my N910F) ... Dial: *#0011# , then Menu>Back, then Menu>Key Input> then type Q0000.
After that I don't know where the NV backup is (I forgot, and I don't have the phone now), but you should be able to search here on xda or google it up...
I hope your Exynos has a NV backup....
Good luck
