SIM Unlocking Canadian I337M..Help

Hi..I'm pretty new on this.
I tried unlocking a Fido S$ (I337m) using the CF root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800) procedure and then running the Region Lock Away but it's not unlocking.
Phone info:
Android Version: 4.4.2
Broadband Version: I337MVLUFNC1
Any info is appreciated.

Obtaining Root for N900V with 5.0

I just acquired a Note 3 and would like to get unlocked and rooted so i can flash custom recovery. I have been pretty proficient in rooting/unlocking/flashing in the past. In searching for ways to get unlocked and rooted on this device has been a struggle and would like to ask if there is a tride and true way to do this ive missed.
Device details
Model Number: SM-N900V
Android Version: 5.0
BaseBand Version: N900VVRUEOB6
Kernel Version: 3.4.0 [email protected] #1
Build Number: LRX21 V.N900VVRUEOB6

I believe the bootloader to the Verizon note 3 is locked which means a custom recovery such as twrp cannot be flashed to the phone.
Edit: apparently, the bootloader can now be unlocked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...l/official-note-3-verizon-bootloader-t3359370

Samsung Galaxy SM-9006V registered as SM-G900F Root issue

Hi,
I am having trouble rooting my phone, indeed, when I go to download mode, my phone version number is: SM-G9006v, BUT when I go in about phone, the number is SM-G900F.
As I bought this phone on amazon, not from official samsung, I'm gonna bet it's the G9006v sold by some chinese as the G900F.
They probably changed the stock firmware version number.
Anyhow, my problem is that KingRoot or one click root or any other root software detects it as the G900F, so they fail because it is NOT the 900F.
Is there anyway I can tell KingRoot to use the 9006V method ? Or is there any trick I could do to root this phone ? (I can't find any ODIN images for it)
Thanks !

Also it has 185 Secret Codes (so I'm guessing it's not a fake)
Moreover, the Knox has been void, but it has always been on 0x1 ! Since the day I got it !
So basically it has been flashed before I even bought it new XD

SM-G9006V = China Mobile (WCDMA network)
what country/network are u in
does current sim work for your network for calls and data and what signal do u get now, 3g, lte, hspa etc
sammobile fw for 9006v http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G9006V/

Yes,
I am on Ultra Mobile (AT&T sub contractor) And it works great, the phone is fully unlocked and worked in Japan on Docom and France on Free...
In the 3 countries, I got 4G data (LTE for US, not sure for japan or france)
What should I do with the stock ROM ?
Should I reflash the phone with the stock chinese ROM ? (ahahah that's gonna be fun with kanji based menu to find my way around XD)
I'd rather Root this build, than learn chinese xD

oh, i thought u wanted stock.
how does it fail when flashing for root, whats the error message.

So if I try with ODIN,
It loads the 900F file, uploads it reboot, and then goes onto a Recovery boot loop
Loading recovery ...
Reboor
Loading Recovery ...
reboot
I can unbrick it by uploading philz klte recovery, BUT I still can't reach the recovery menu
Sadly there is no ODIN root file for the 9006v
If I use King Root (or towel root) it basically tries the 900F method, and then tells me it could not root it.

if it truly is a 9006v twrp has a recovery for it , its code name is kltechn and u use odin to flash the tar image
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys5qualcomm.html
it seems 9006v is the same kltechn as these SM-G9008V, SM-G9006W, SM-G9008W, SM-G9009W

Oh dear sorry to hear that you have been cheated. N910v is verizon note 4 and the 1 you have is spoofed n910f its very easy to spoof from build.prop in system and by z3x box.the download mode is correct model shows there of motherboard.
You cannot flash n910f firmware on n910v model it will fail in odin you have to download n910v firmware from www.sammobiles.com/firmwares
But i suggest is your current n910f firmware is running fine then dont flash n910v firmware cuz your phone will filled with verizon bloatware apps.and your phone will run very slow and laggy.
Or much better if you return this phone to guy and exchange with another one shows in download mode n910f or n910c international model

thank you for explanation..
I understand
but I want an official firmware and I want the android 6, so I will try to flash with a N910V version and will see
Q: if I use a verizon firmware, do I have problem with cellular service (sim card)! if the firmware is from USA and I'm in Algeria?

No you will not going to have any cellular issues cuz verizon models are global gsm sim unlocked but you will be able to use 3g hspa+ data only the 4g lte will not work.and also you have to make apn settings manually to get data work.

does this firmware worked with u?

I have a similar problem with my N910F which registers as N910V in recovery and download mode.
I tried playing around installing a new firmware from Dr Ketan Rom and although it installed fine, I can't get the phone to recognize my sim card (Ghana). It says 'no service' and/or 'no sim card.'
Now I tried flashing with N910V stock firmware and I get stuck in a bootloop.
I also realised that the IMEI of the phone is fake and an IMEI check says it is a Samsung windows 7 phone.
Any help?

Try flashing the 910V modem immediately after Dr Ketan's ROM, then reboot. If that fails do the same using the Verizon's firmware. And as it was mentioned above you will be limited to 3g + speeds.

Your phone is refurbished N910V verizon note 4 and fake N910F software And fake sticker at back side of battery.
If you want upgrade to 6.0.1 you have to download N910V firmware from sammobiles.com thats your orignal motherboard model.
but keep in mind you will lose 4G/hotspot/ and much more stuff if you upgrade.i suggest you return this spofffed note 4 and get another new device and if you cant return use at it is on 5.0.1 lollipop dont upgrade.

Today is your lucky day my friend, and here is a solution to your problem
I had the exact same issue and i was just about giving up after three days of hard continues tries and I thought about reselling my phone, but i decided to try just just the three last firmware i was downloading, and as soon as the first one downloaded I tried and voala, it flashed
but unfortunately XDA-developers have not allowed me to paste the like for you to just click and download it so just send me a DM on Instagram @Sammy.zent so i can give you the link.

Flash US stock on Japan device?

Would it be possible to flash american stock without updating the binary revision in the bootloader on a Japanese S8 (SCV36)?
