I was actually wondering... If I'm network locked and I flashed a new stock ROM, would it remove the network lock? I don't think it will, but just want to confirm and to know the rationale behind all of it. I was thinking of rooting my S4 to get it to downgrade and have the network lock removed, but don't know about all these things. A lot of threads mention rooting for custom firmwares but not rooting in order to remove network lock afterwards.

Flashing any rom will not remove the network lock... but it can brick ur phone if u flashed a rom that is not intended for ur phone, if u want to get it unlocked ur best option for that is call ur current carrier to get the unlock code, it could cost u for the code but thats about the only way besides rooting and trying to unlock it that way after root.

I've unlocked my phone using an unlock code with one of those websites. It's a success. No problems. The problems I encountered recently had to do with the defective battery that came with my S4. What I'm curious to know now is if I can flash a ROM from my country where I got my phone... Just to make it like an unbranded phone. This is because when I boot up my phone, I see my carrier's logo and one of the wallpapers they replaced with their carrier logo as well. It's pretty annoying... So I wonder if I can flash a non-carrier unbranded ROM from my country to my phone. And do ai need to root to do so?

New Note 3

I just got my Note 3 and the first thing I did was root it. The problem is that I forgot to perform a software update. Now when I try to update the software, I get the message that I can't update because my phone is modified. Is there a way to download and manually install the latest software update?

This should be in Q&A....mods will either delete it or move it for you.
To answer you...depending on your region the stock firmware may or may not be available for you to odin back to stock.

use triangle away to restore official status. Then update and reroot (from what i heared, ony the international N3 had a firmware update) Usually, if there was one for you, as soon as you would have connected to the internet it would have told you, unless you rooted without first connecting the phone to the internet

You can use kies to restore your phone back to stock. It will change your phone back to original status, without root. However there's nothing you can do on your knox warranty.

Moved here as this does not belong in the Development Section.....

Thanks, guys. The phone is great the way it is, and I refuse to give up root if I can help it. I have faith in the devs here to overcome all issues!!

Try it yourself if you think it'll work, no one else will do it for you

Hes been sarcastic surely! Or been one of those people who live to wind people up

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.

I love this

The guy asked simple question, a simple answer would have sufficed! People come to ask questions and get help, isn't that the whole purpose of the forums? I'm guessing all you lot giving the guy a hard time were instantly android experts from day 1 hey..

Everything about the Note 4 OS is different. Even the image file extensions in the apps are different. You have a $300 paperweight most likely

Note 3. have you tried a different rom ?

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.

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.

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].

Try this method works for both

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?
