There was sim unlock for my old trusted i9100. Are there same tools/method for N9005?
Yeah. Just download the RegionAway made by Chainfire from the playstore. Its a paid app but very cheap. It will sim unlock and region unlock your N9005. At least it did for me. You will need to root your phone though to make the application run and do its thing. My N9005 was SIM locked to 3 UK network. After rooting, downloading and running chainfire's app, i am now using my Tmobile UK sim in it. Best of luck and hope this helps. Let me know if i can be of assistance.

Thanks! Very interesting indeed! But I wonder what Chainfire will say about sim unlock. Coz he says "but it may or may not remove the SIM lock". If it removes SIM Lock and Regoin Lock it is miracle app!
And very cheap really! But it is easier for me to donate via paypal.

Hi is this the only way to sim unlock my uk note 3 n9005 so i can change.sim also after i have rooted and used region away to unlock sim can i unroot and will it still be sim unlocked or not thanks
If you are a 3 user I believe they will sim unlock it for free. Most UK providers will offer this service but some may charge .

Hello Guys,
I just switched from the iPhone to Note 4 and i am a really happy about the phone.
Only i have a few (noob) questions:
I have bought the phone from Mediamarkt (no contract) in the Netherlands. The problem is that some Note 4 users got the LP 5.0.1 update (BOC3) and i don't. You can see the information about my phone in the picture.
Can i use odin to update my phone or shall i wait a couple days or weeks? As an old Apple user i must say the updates are very confusing. If Apple released an update then everybody would recieve it.
Thanks!

You could be waiting longer than a few weeks such is the nature of updates in the Android sphere.
Is your phone 'unlocked and unbranded' or is it 'sim locked / branded to a carrier'. Buying it off contract or on PAYG from your mobile carrier does not mean it's unbranded / unlocked.
If it is unbranded / unlocked you can indeed flash the 5.0.1 firmware via ODIN 3.0.9
I hesitate to suggest doing it if your device is branded and locked to a network until you at least sim unlock it from that network.
If your unsure easiest way to test is to pop a microsim from another carrier into it and you'll quickly find out.
Re: flashing via ODIN
If you using an Apple computer such as macbook - I would recommend you run ODIN in boot camp rather than via a VM such as parallels.

Thanks for your answer!
I could not test it with another SIM but i saw on the website of Mediamarkt that the phone is unlocked. Is there another possibilty to see if the phone is locked or unlocked?
And if it is locked is it then possible to unlock it and then do the update?
Many thanks

Is mediamarkt a general phone seller? or are they a carrier? If it's just a phone retailer and you don't have any splash screen or carrier apps installed, then yes it's likely an unbranded unlocked model.

Mediamarkt is a big electronics shop, they sell everything. (mediamarkt.nl)
No apps installed, i think it is an unlocked version. Do i lose my warranty of i update from the buildnumer ANK to BOC3?

I am from Germany ... I bought my wife's phone from MediaMarkt here and I flashed Lollipop with Odin with no issues. You should be okay to do it too.

I just bought a good deal on a G975U1 which is a unlocked sprint phone here in India and I'm facing network problem since morning and after some research I realized its a common issue for all sprint S10 plus users.I have to turn airplane mode ON and OFF after some time to make it usable.I'm using JIO network here which is running on 3,5 and 40 LTE band ( VOLTE).Can someone suggest me a good fix if i can use this phone here without any problem? I saw one post regarding disabling band 41 and 25 but whenever i dial ##72786# it showing "MMI complete" but nothing happens.Any custom rom i can install which can fix this problem?
Running Firmware : G975U1UES2BSIV

Nope. Everything. Remember it will wipe the phone. So backup beforehand

Still no success! it shows LTE with full network bars but not able to use the internet and stop receiving and not able to do phone call after some time! (After an hour or so) I have to put into airplane mode to make it working again which goes for 1-2 hour without any problem!

Try if it works with Airtel. Then you will know if it's a phone issue or network issue

I use a prepaid. Works fine for me. Some issue with the phone then

Sprint is known to cause problems especially with unlocking and having the phone working on other carriers. If you try flashing the updated unlocked firmware (G975U1UES2BSIV) and it still doesnt work properly on Jio. Then I'd contact Sprint and tell them to unlock it, you might have to provide the original proof of purchase (from seller) to get it to work.
I have SM-G975U device from Verizon and whenever I go to India, both Jio and Vodafone work fine
There was hardware issues with earlier s10plus models that required motherboard replacement. Same symptoms as yours. There's plenty of threads about it on here.
