Enable LTE Band 4, withour root? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
I foolishly updated to 4.4.4 and now am stuck with Note 3 on T-mobile without LTE. Does anyone know how to maybe at least temp-root it, or another way to get into Service Mode?
Thank you for all help ahead

Mod Edit: content removed.
I have Locked S6 Edge from Sprint..I want to unlock
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge from Sprint and it is Locked to their carrier. But Since i will be using it outside USA i was hoping if this method can unlock it and so i can use any other SIM international. Please point me in the right direction.
Is this just international unlock or domestic?

I'm not in US. So, I can't test in US for domestic, it will work outside US. It will be the same KitKat

I'm not sure. I will receive Sprint S6 next some days. I will update after trying this. We will know that soon.
i get the unfortunately ssu.apk has stopped working , any way around this ?
A better way and one that worked is to use the GalaxyTools apk

worked brilliant and sure shot. v3.18 works on lollipop.

Bad news, there is no any Custom ROM for Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
I will work around then posting results.
Hey guyz, Calling Sprint and asking them to unlock the phone for international use (your going on vacation to Europe ) is an easy way to do it.
If you can get Galaxy Tools to work for you it will also unlock your phone for international use.
I've read if your phone is post Feb 15 2015 and you own it outright it can be unlocked for US use... I don't know this for a fact so you would need to do your research... Or just call Sprint and ask for the policy details.
Hope this helps spme...
Thx!

Hello! If I understand it correctly, after I unlock it, I wouldn't be able to upgrade it.to Lollipop anymore? Am I right? Asking, because after the upgrade it will be locked again.
Thank you!

If you want to upgrade it to Lollipop, you must install stock ROM Lollipop via ODIN. This method won't relock after upgrade ROM. Tested, confirmed

How do you unlock with gt tools
Another solution for this is calling sprint and having them remotely update you prl. The now have free texting and data in some contries i called and had it enabled. Phone# 18552248796 and asked them about the free international roaming. No root required and also works on tw roms.
SSU does not work me
Hi , I'm new to the forum , try to unlock my Note4 and install a customroom and SSU does not work me .
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
I tried it with GT but it asks for a control key code. I have no idea what it is...

[Q] Any hope for rooting N900V lollipop?

Is there any new hopes for rooting updated N900V (lollipop)?
The lollipop update just drains my battery. I miss my old rooted 4.4.2.
Is there a way to rollback and root?

I am also looking to root my sm-n900v on 5.0 lollipop because I cannot stand the Verizon nonsense clogging up my device. Also, I leave for Europe on the 9th and was hoping to use local sims instead of Verizon international. I was under the impression Note 3 was unlocked for this kind of use, but when trying to use a local sim in Mexico, I was told the phone was locked. Is a rooted phone necessary to switch out and use an international SIM? If so I must scramble to figure out another option as I was hoping to root my device, not understanding this was not possible. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I don't have any experience with this program, and I haven't done much searching on these forums, but maybe have a look at this?

Use at your own risk I guess. Let us know if it works if you do try.

Tried it, doesn't work
I also tried and no success by one click root..
I dont know how they have put that post on their site if it is not working at all..they mentioned it clearly for note3 sm-n900v lollipop.
It is ridiculous to do so..disappointed

I agree. Leading us on but no root.
I'm waiting too
So there is no possible way to root a lollipop Verizon Note 3? That is a bit crazy but the only reason I wanted to root was to remove the pre-installed apps. Please update if anyone has figured out some way. I wish these phones didn't come with all this bloatware. The Samsung apps are fine but Verizon are the ones I'd like to get rid of or at least some of them. Thanks!!

Dead link?
There is no root for the n900v 4.4.4 or later versions, and it doesn't seem anyone is working on one.
At least that was a direct answer! ugh just bummed out now because I was forced to come back to this phone after my other one got a tiny splatter of water on it and freaking DIED.
I really wish someone would

Is the bootloader locked as well? If not can you flash a custom recovery like TWRP?

sm-n900v note 3 user needing help

Hello all, i have a Verizon note 3 model sm-n900v, im running lollipop v5.0 stock ROM from Verizon update, i have a few questions that i need help with
1. i need root access to use some apps that require root, i know there is no working root method for the v5.0 update right now, i don't care about the Knox counter if i trip it or not, i just want root access,
2. is there any way to flash a rom that has root access ? if so whats a good rom to try ?
3. i want to be able to use my note 3 on straight talk service, i looked at the APN settings and its greyed out, so i cant add any APN's to the list, can this be done with a new rom?
4. how can i tell if my note 3 is locked ? my wife has a galaxy s5 through a different carrier named Appalachian Wireless and i took her sim card out and put it in my phone and made a call to our home phone and
her number was shown on the caller id, so i know i can use sim cards from that company, but what about straight talk?
any help with these questions would be great, thanks in advance

That's what I'm about to do. My note 3 I'd rooted though. I'm keeping it. I just sold my note 4 edge on swappa. That was the worst Samsung phone I have ever had besides the s4. The worst phone I have ever had period.

Way to root Verizon Note 4 ?

I am pretty new to rooting a phone but i was just looking around for a way to root my verizon note 4 SM-N910V on Android 5.0.1.
I tried googling and reading up on it but I have never rooted a phone before so I did not know exactly how to do it.
Sorry if this is an unnecessary post, thanks !

Unfortunately, there is really no root for it. I wouldn't even attempt a temporary on this phone.

sorry friend, you picked one of the worst development phones. nothing yet. Im hoping someday but its not looking great. My advice, find someone to trade their Tmobile note 4 for your VZW one. Thats what Im trying to do
ebay rooted ones?
I thought Tmobile note 4 wouldn't work on VZW? with custom ROM?
Saw some rooted Verizon Note 4 on eBay. I wonder if those were rooted before VZW locked the bootloader.
Would I be stuck with 4.4.4 if I get those?

The bootloader has always been locked, since day one. If they're rooted, they are development edition phones. There never has been root for this phone, and the bootloader has been locked down since day one.
C'mon folks... search the forum!!!

If you are not a Verizon subscriber...you can't get any of Verizon's updates over the air....wifi or otherwise. You can get them at www.sammobile.com once you become a member (it's free to be a member].

you have an account with verizon right?
No i dont have a verizon account i bought the phone from third hand...
But with the OB6 manage to use the method of the 2 tar files to flash and succesfully came with everything, the problem is the next one, on the boot first screen says CUSTOM with the unlock lock draw or symbol, but i cant find the superuser app anywhere....
No when I reboot the phone, takes to long and says system something then I say ok and shutsdown, the only way to enter to android is recovery and delete cache...
Any way to fix this, and altought it says iu was installing the app, i cant find it, should I install the SUPERUSER app?
