I am working on unlock the sprint s4.
I need some help from someone who has unlocked the phone.
for the people who has unlocked:
you can do uicc unlock in the system update menu again, and send the log to me.
you can get log by "adb logcat >xxx.log", this command will write the system log to your computer.
send the log to me ,maybe I can find out what has the sprint done while unlock the phone.

I'll copy and paste the instructions that my cellphone unlocker service gave me. The should be the same for all Note 3s.
---------- Instructions ----------
Read This First
* With the provided Unlock codes, if you are receiving "Code Error" or "Sim Network Unlock Unsuccessful, DO NOT WORRY! proceed to the "Trouble Shooting" section on how to proceed.
* Make sure "Airplane Mode" and "Wi-Fi" is turned off under wireless connections if your Samsung is an Android device.
There are Multiple Unlock Codes provided, which one do I use?
If you only received 1 Unlock Code, Don't worry about this part, use the code provided above.
* Unlock Code is the Network=xxxxxxxx is the Unlock Code as shown below:
Example:
NETWORK=xxxxxxxx; PROVIDER=xxxxxxxx; SUBPROVIDER=xxxxxxxx; DEFREEZE=xxxxxxxx
* You can ignore the rest of the codes, unless you are receiving a "Phone Freeze" message when trying to input the Unlock Code.

How to Enter Unlock Code
Method #1
Insert a Non accepted simcard in your phone and power on. Once finished loading your phone will ask you to enter a code, enter the Unlock Code
Note: Non Accepted Simcard is any simcard not from the original provider
Hi
I have a samsung ativ 500t and it's locked to rogers canada
I got the network unlock code but I'm not able to enter it. I don't have a rogers sim and when I enter a different sim, the device displays network as "unammed" and refuses to connect to it or pop up the "enter unlock code" dialoge
the embedded modem inside the tablet is Sierra Em7700
any ideas?
I received my unlock from my provider. After turning on phone with unspported sim i got a message to enter unlock code. I entered it and it says : network unlock unsucessiful, and that message dissapear. But after few sec i got initial screen on samsung and i saw that network actually work and my phone is unlocked, i tried with thrid provider and also work. Is that some kind of bug in lollipop or ?
Did you test if the phone was already unlocked before entering the unlock code?
Maybe it said Failed because it was already unlocked?
Anyway, if the 3rd party SIMs are working, there's no problem is there?
Everything works, im just curious about that bug. I tried 3 different SIM and its unlocked
Today I got my rma return device

I've made the same mistake. I received a repaired device from LG not knowing they sent it back with the AT&T software network locked. I flashed to Google Fi image and now I can't enter my unlock code. This 546368 code gives me a special menu but nowhere to enter an unlock code.
Edit: I followed the steps above but they didn't work exactly for me so here's exactly what I did:
1. Flash to this firmware: V350AWMH10a_06_TCL_MX_OP_0424.kdz firmware from lg-firmwares (sorry I'm too new I'm not allowed to post links)
2. Set up the device just enough to get to a phone dialer prompt
3. Dial 2945#*350# (no need to press "call")
4. Select the first option, "Network lock"
5. Enter your unlock code
That worked perfectly! Thank you for sharing.
