*** since people can't seem to be held accountable for screwing up their phones because they can't read... Here's the disclaimer: this is in the Note 3 section (TMO Note 3 section to be exact). It's your own damn fault if this bricks your phone. As with anything else, you assume responsibility for any and all negative results. ***
So here's the skinny. I SIM-unlocked my UNACTIVATED T-Mobile Note 3 via Chainfire's RegionLock Away app.
I bought the Note 3 SM-N900T direct from T-Mobile with the sole purpose of using on AT&T - without thinking about it being SIM-locked to T-Mobile. Of course I found this out when I put the AT&T SIM in out of the box - only to be reminded that it was locked and I needed the network unlock code from T-Mobile.
I also didn't want to activate a SIM on T-Mobile (spending at least $10 for a week-long plan) just to turn around and spend $25 on an unlock code. So after seeing Chainfire talk about fixing the Region Lock on the Note 3 I decided to give the following a test:
1. Put the T-Mobile SIM (unactivated, unregistered) that came in the box into the Note 3
2. Rooted via Chainfire's CF AutoRoot
3. Bought RegionLock Away app
4. Ran the app, and instead of rebooting - I said Reboot Later (I THINK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT)
5. I then powered off the Note 3.
6. Took out the T-Mobile SIM and replaced it with my AT&T SIM
7. Turned on the device - BOOM! no Region Lock, and NO SIM Lock. I was able to setup my APN without any "wrong network" errors, and it's working like a charm.
I highly recommend you purchase Chainfire's app and give it a go. Follow the steps EXACTLY as I laid them out above. I can't guarantee anything, and YMMV - but this worked for me.

The app says when doing whatever is doing... "patching modem" so... In my opinion you should not even think about doing it... unless you have balls of steel... Lol
... you might end up tonight without a Note 3 (saw your other posts about your Note 3) and without a Note 2...
But I guess you also have a Note 1...
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm just wondering how technically this is possible. Sure it clears the blacklist out but it's not supposed to do anything to the SIM lock. Maybe the SIM lock looks at the same portion of the modem that the region lock uses and that gets patched.
Ok,Is working I just follow the steps and my device also is SIM unlock now:good:
After doing this is it required to change the APN to get it to work (fully) with At&t?

So when I put in At&t sim, I have to change it manually? And when I put T-Mobile sim, it auto changes back?
Reason why I ask is...
My cabin is in an area where closest T-Mobile reception is 52 miles away. I plan on buying a Prepaid At&t sim for use while at the cabin but changing back on the road home. It's much cheaper for me this way than just using At&t. I will be making this trip several times a year and am trying to figure out the best way to do it.

You just add the AT&T apn one time... After that you can swap sims a million times and both apn's will always be there and they will change accordingly automatically...
You can get a dual sim card adapter for your phone... (I have a triple sim card adapter...)
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
So is the unlock permanent, or must it be run again every time you take an OTA and/or install a new rom?

I think I've stated this in another related thread, but it is currently unknown when exactly the modem is updating automatically. I've custom region locked my own Note3 for testing, and flashing complete firmwares (with wipe, different CSCs, and the automatic after flash booting into recovery to apply CSC) did *not* affect my region lock, or set it back to what it was originally (in the applied CSC). So it's not like this *must* be updated or triggered when a new firmware comes in. On the other hand, any OTA update *could* be executing code to apply a new/different region lock or SIM lock. In other words, nobody knows if/when, but it could be any time.

SIM unlock involves NV file edit (do you remember EFS?) which is a part of modem I think.
I used NV edit suggested in xda to successfully unlock Galaxy Tab original.

I purchased mine as unlocked but haven't had the chance to try another company's sim card on it to verify that.

Quick question, sorry its a bit off topic, how did you guys get your phone unlocked?
I've read threads about Tmobile being friendly enough to send you a unlock code, but I currently have AT&T. Does that affect the process any?
Yes att does give out lock codes ... just have to wait a certain amount of days..and once unlocked always unlocked... flash away..

Hey guys,
I got scammed on craigslist and the guy won't respond. So I bought a T-mobile Galaxy S3 and it worked fine for over a week until 2 days ago when it stopped connecting or registering to the T-mobile network. I found out from T-mobile it was blacklisted as stolen/lost that day. I called to confirm the phone wasn't stolen or lost when I bought it. The T-mobile store says there is nothing they can do except offer me a new phone from the store to pay full price.
Can I unlock a phone marked as stolen/lost using an unlock code and use it on AT&T?
I tried searching the forum and I found a thread about a guy who already had the phone unlocked so he was able to use it on AT&T but in my case, the phone is not unlocked yet but is blocked from T-mobile networks.
Thanks in advance,
Buzz
Well if you unlock it before the whole illegal thing starts you can use it on AT&T.

1111+ Thats correct I have tried every rom out there from att and it worked on my tmobile s3. Now for the op. looks for the thread on general there is one that shows you how to unlock your phone without a code. It was meant to be for the note2 but it worked on all us s3's I have mine unlock that way put in my friends att sim and it worked fine only thing that the speed its a little slower not 2G though. And thats because att's 4g its 20ish not 42.
Any ways. If you were called tmobile and talk to a superviser they can change the IMEI number on their system and the phone would come back to work in 48 hours.
I know because It have happened to me too. It doesnt matter if you have your tmobile sim on it for at least a day tmobile computers will register that phone onto your network.
P.S the only thing that will changed from a ATT rom is that build.prop It will show that its an att rom but you can edit it to d2tmo with root explorer
Just don't flash other modems from other carriers that will Brick you.

i have a note 3 from atyt and is blacklisted i want to use it with tmobile but i wanna be sure if it will work some one have tried ?
Hello guys,
I am actually just starting to post here. So sorry in advance for anything wrong I do. I recently bought a Samsung Note 3. It is a phone locked to T-mobile. What I want to do is turn the phone's software into factory software (what I mean with that is the software that comes with factory unlocked phones). I really want it to be no different from an originally unlocked phone because I will use it abroad as well and I don't want all the software that comes with T-mobile. Is this possible? If yes, will it be any different from a factor unlocked phone?
This phone is the same as an unlocked note 3 except it has some extra tmobile apps.

I have an s3 that i was selling to mother in law to use on consumer cellular. T mobile provided an unlock code that does not work. They are supposedly investigating this. I tried to pay an online unlocker for a code, I told them the code t mobile provided that did not work, They were unable to generate an unlock code ,
What is is going on. T mobile sim locks phones and then cant provoide correct unlock codes??
What other option do i have?
This seems like a bunch of BS on tmobile part.
Selling to MiL ? I'd give for free if I were you.
Seriously speaking, you can take the phone to a T-Mobile store for further investigation. If the code does not work, don't try it repeatedly. The phone will lockup for good.
If the code did not work, make sure the T-Mobile Rep has taken down your IMEI correctly. Make them repeat it to make sure its correct.
There are other ways to unlock. But in order to try them, I need to know what android version you have right now. Its listed in Settings > About.
Its running stock rooted 4.3 with stocm recovery and some bloat removed. Have verified t mo has correct imei. Have tried 2 old centennial wireless sims and an old at&t sim. No luck.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Since you are on 4.3, the other way to unlock is out of question. Please take the phone to a T-Mo Store after you get the new unlock code.

Check out chainfires Region Lock Away app on the play store or here on xda. Its built for the note3 on 4.3 firmware, but ive seen claims it works on the S3 and others. I suggest reading the thread to be certain, but it may be a viable option for those running 4.3 rooted.

You might need a new sim card. And the T999V is only sold by the Canadian carriers. The T999L is the updated lte model of the original T999.
After unlocking were you able to use a sim from another carrier and have it work with zero issues? If you only tested it on the network you are reporting problems with that is not confirmation of a successful unlock. Try a sim from another carrier and see if it works.
If it is unlocked then it sounds like an old sim card type issue.

After unlocking were you able to use a sim from another carrier and have it work with zero issues? If you only tested it on the network you are reporting problems with that is not confirmation of a successful unlock. Try a sim from another carrier and see if it works.
If it is unlocked then it sounds like an old sim card type issue.

Note: This is based off of the stock image TMO T999LUVUBNC1
Download :: Download - root66_TMO-L_T999LUVUBNC1.7z through odin thought it might be radio issue but same thing.
her daughter has the same s3 with 4.1.2 and works perfect. can i downgrade through odin to 4.1.2? i think md5 modem might be better.
Unfortunately no. Once you flash 4.3 there is no going back. If its not working with any of the sim cards, try one from another carrier if possible.
Kinda sounds to me like its not unlocked. How did you go about attempting to get it unlocked?

She will come to pick the phone today I'll ask how did she unlock the phone. But if it wasnt unlocked how does it recognize the Sim? Can you suggest me a modem? But I will ask how she unlock it and let you know. Also when I flash the new 4.3 it didn't erase the call history and also when I reset the phone it doesn't seem like it resets it cause the call history's are still there.

You can only use the 4.3 modems now. When you flash firmware it doesnt erase your data. Not sure why it didnt on a factory reset though, unless its stored on sd.
