Phone is locked!! - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have Samsung note 3 by au Kiddi. I unlocked from from store. But its locked again after updating android software......
Please help me to unlocking it.....
Thanks in advance......

If the phone was unlocked with a code, it should remain unlocked even after software updates. Do you know if the store unlocked by code or some other way?

Go back to the store .

I know of no way to unlock the phone without a code. Cell repair stores may be able to unlock it using a riff box of some type.

[Q] Bootloader Unlock on Sim Unlocked Rogers XPlay

So it's common knowledge by now that the Rogers Xperia Play cannot be bootloader unlocked due to the sim lock on it. I recently bought one and Sim Unlocked it for use on the Fido network.
Is there anything else stopping me from using the bootloader unlock or am I safe to do it now?

No matter you want it really bad, dont unlock your bootloader, unless you know what are you doing is right.

galaxy s4 sgh I337 at&t unlock

Hey there, I have a samsung galaxy s4 sgh-i337 locked to at&t.
I bought an unlocking code from an ebay user.
it doesn't unlock my phone, it writes: "unlock request unsuccesful". I tried to use the defreeze code and then again the network code, still nothing.
I was referred to a guide that suppose to show me the "service mode menu", by entering *#0011# . so service mode goes on when i put that number in the dial pad, but then I suppose to do 'menu key'->'back'->'menu key'->'key input'->'1', but after I do that nothing happens, the service mode menu with all the options doesn't pop up, it stays in the same page of the service mode. somewhere down on the ServiceMode page it writes "Service:Limited". what should I do?
Talk with an at&t rep or chat online and indicate that you will be traveling and want to use this phone there and they'll give u a unlock code..

i'm pretty sure that I already have a code, and in some reason it still doesn't work.. I'll try it anyway. write now they're on holiday.
But still, does anyone here know about a way to make that cranky menu show up?

it took me directly to the DEBUG SCREEN menu, but I have only 5 options instead of 6. the important option is missing. option number 6, "phone control". is there any direct way to get to that menu? or to make it show the option?
Someone... Help.. please
no Mega genius here that can solve my problem?
same boat here man, this is a new problem since not everyone has 4.3 yet. Att won't even give me the unlock code since they changed eligibility few months ago to "only off contract or fulfilled contract phones." I've read one person saying the eBay unlock code didnt work on 4.3 either. And the only success i've heard is another post here on XDA saying they unlocked 4.3 using the regionlockaway app, but they apparently Odin flashed 4.2.2, did the regionlockaway while the phone had no sound/wifi etc., then Odin flashed 4.3(locked again), then flashed 4.2.2 odin again, regionlockaway'ed, then odin'ed 4.3 again and the unlock stayed. That sounds ridiculous and is not an exact science.
So i'm done with At&t's phone slavery and switching to T-mobile on a nexus till the Xperia Z1 is out. I thought this was the future.

Take your phone to one of the shops which do unlocking using a box. It is possible to do it.

can you explain a little bit please? I am not aware of that method
how much do you think they'll take?
If you have another $20.50 go to Myhoian's website it's unlockcode247.com it'll take about a full day or over 12 hours usually but not longer than that he's never failed to unlock any of my phones.
I used region unlock. Unlocked my phone, put in a T-Mobile sim and it didn't asked for a code. Bam unlocked.

guys please explain, i'm a noob. what's region unlock? by the way, my phone is a GSM phone.
also, what's unlocking using a box?
and about that unlockcode247 - can they help me if I already got a code from another source?
I am not from the US and I want to use my phone outside of the USA (the phone was bought in the USA and is AT&T locked).

I used Cellunlocker.net and it was done in 24hrs. It did cost $29.99. Since I was on MK2 the only way to get it unlocked for free was through my carrier and they would not unlock.

My carrier said I was qualified to do the unlock. How are these services? Paying that much money on a limb sounds sketchy and most endorsers seem to be part of the sketchiness. Anyone else have experience using the only sites?
Jeez...

I unlocked mine using method 2. You will not have sound until you flash modem back. At least I didn't.

[Q] International firmware on AT&T device

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!
Rok
So... nobody tried this yet?

AFAIK, flashing another firmware will not bypass the sim lock.

Are you sure? Too bad.
What if I flash something else? Like a rooted Rom? Or Cyanogen?
I'm not good at this low-level stuff so I really appreciate all the help. :cyclops:
It doesn't matter, I went with TowelRoot +RegionLock Away + UnlockPhoneNetwork.com and it worked. :victory:

It is because you have to pay for the unlock code.
