I bought this unlocked international note 4 with a plan to root it....
However it has already been rooted....
I have ATT for service. The person I got it from had T-Mobile.
When I put my sim in and start it up I can make calls and send text as well as even get online
The problems are as follows:
1. It does not stay connected to the ATT network, I have to repeatedly hit send over and over till it finally makes the call... The same goes for text and the internet...
2. When I made the attempt to re-root the whole thing (mind you I am new to all this rooting...this would only be my second time doing so) I found after downloading all the software needed to do so.... I began to follow the steps provided here on XDA, when I tried to boot with the volume, center, and power key the menu is in Chinese sooooooo
........ So now I'm at a complete loss... I do not know what to do
Please tell me that one of you geniuses out there can help me solve this dilemma.....
I was hoping that just re-rooting this phone would solve my problems........
Thank you guys

Sorry for this new thread,
I have gone through thousands of country unlocking methods but none worked for me.
I have purchased Samsung S4-GT I9500 from IRAQ and brought to India where it prompts for the SIM UNLOCK CODE
I have tried everything like
SERVICE MODE i.e *#0011# after entering service mode menu and pressing BACK, as soon as input 1 in key input it shows MENU NOT EXIST Current command 111
I went to some shops too who guaranteed for the unlocking but after all the attempts i.e root flash etc as said by them even they said sorry.
further I ordered NETWORK UNLOCK CODE from a website which is again a failed attempt and displays "UNLOCK REQUEST UNSUCCESSFUL"
I visited samsung service center at last and they are quoted Rs.8000/ saying hardware issues.
I am helpless now suffering very much with this locked phone
Experts please help me in this regard
Thanks
You might want to try the right forum. This one is for the S4 Active, not the standard S4.

Noob here. I just bought a Samsung Galaxy note 3 on Craiglist and looks like I have been ripped off. This is a China model SM-N9006. Wifi is not working. So, I looked here and found out I can root the phone and install CWM maybe ?
I downloaded the files and when I try to put the phone download mode by pressing vol down + home + power .. it went into a menu in Chinese. I didn;t where to go from here.
What are my options for rooting ?
Should I buy mobile ODIN pro ? would that be easier ?
Please advise.

DO NOT attempt to flash anything meant for the official note 3 devices on that thing or it will be a complete brick. Odin will likely not work, nor will mobile odin, most likely. This is a ripoff device and doesn't have the same hardware or even software.

Expensive paperweight mate Try to get your money back from the vendor or go to the police if he advertised the phone as a genuine Note 3.
My girlfriend got an auto update from T-Mobile on her note 7 and it limited her phone to only charge up to 60%. So I found the stock firmware for the previous version and used Odin to flash it over. I also used package disabler pro to prevent future updates. I will link a download to all files from my Google drive as they took wayyy too long to download off of the original site. It will include, the stock firmware (there's 5 parts) Odin (latest version) and package disabler pro. Hopefully anybody reading this is familiar with Odin but if not please ask any questions I'm sure either I or someone else on here can answer them.

Above is also a guide on how to use Odin for those of you who arent familiar with it!
UPDATE!!!!
Package disabler pro stopped working for me but after about 2 hours of searching i found a replacement app. The link is below!
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0c6ZaGr79eTUGRFWWdOMVRSODQ/view?usp=drivesdk
It allowed me to disable all of the update packages
can anyone confirm this while i wait for files to download
i was wondering the same thing and what order to do them in I don't see why it shouldn't work honestly i just haven't used oden in forever and don't want to screw it up lol
It worked fine on her phone you just have to use the app I provided to disable a few packages to stop auto updates and forced updates. I'll upload a screenshot of which ones to disable

You'd flash all 5 of the files at once. The slots on the right in Odin are labeled (for example) ap; you'd select the file I uploaded that starts with ap same with bl, csc etc.
For some reason it won't let me post a screenshot but the packages you'll want to disable are the 2 that say Software Update and one that says UrgentFWUpdateTSP
files are done downloading, ill update this post after im done trying this method
Edit: I can confirm this method works, thanks for figuring this out, also got the green battery icon back "note" the odin file OP included does not include a ini file so it does not open, i just downloaded a different one odin v3.11.1

The only thing I got working was flashing the PI4, and updating SamPay to 2.4.02. I can't get PGC to flash. That's the one we need, it's pre-recall.

The csc tmb file will be the one you'll want to use under the csc slot in odin
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-devices
Above is a guide to using odin the csc tmb file is the one youll want to use in the csc tab on odin. It will factory reset the phone so if theres anything important on it make sure you back it up on your computer or sd card.
Also i have the note 7 that was available after the recall so im not sure if this will work for the original version of the phone. I can try to find the files for the original version when i get off work lol

Thanks, I don't think it will work, for now I'll just be happy with PI4 and able to fully charge it. They must have done something to the bootloader so as not to flash, which makes sense because they don't want you to charge above 60% and they want the phone back...I never had this problem flashing my S5....or S4....[emoji36]

I was kinda hoping maybe a forum member had one lying around. That way I know its a reliable and verified source.. I hate using file hosts that limit your DL speed and amount of downloads per hour.. For example the second link in ibuprofen's response limits to 1 DL per hour AMD when I got to the link ASA it started to DL I hit my home button and lost the DL.. Tried to DL again and said to many connection s try again later lol

Hi,
I recently moved to India from the US. I have a Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge unrooted Nougat firmware. I am not able to use Samsung pay in India as it is still linked to the US servers. Can someone help me in installing India Samsung pay on my phone?
Thanks

No you have to install the APK that belong to the country the phone is set to. So if the Phone is verizon and set to US, then you have to install the Samsung Pay apk of the US version. And even though it will work if you register your card with the US version of Samsung Pay (international transactions have to enabled for the same). This is not advisable given the amount of credit card fraud that is going on. Also you will never get any of the offers available on the Indian version of Samsung pay.
Regarding the APK of Pay framework I also tried to install that, but it failed. This could be Knox protection at work.
I beg to differ here, I got Samsung pay Citi cashback using Verizon phone and US app, which was showing all US offers.
