sim lock 4.3
You only have two options... Option 1, You wait until kikkat 4.4 become available for upgrade then unlock the phone with same code. Or option 2, you find the stock rom that came with the the phone which is the ice cream 4.04. Then use odin to downgrade and then you can use the same code.

From all my reading. I was under impression you cant down grade with odin?

You can't if your device has the official 4.3 update, like ota or if it was done through kies or Odin

So you think maybe code is correct and4.3 ota broke ability to unlock by code?

Its possible it could've been broken by mistake, some people have had the same issues with Samsung devices on 4.3, try the new 4.3 update and see if it helps

Can anyone confirm root after t-mobile update??

Hesitant to flash back to stock to update, anyone know if they can use that galaxy s3 root toolkit after the new update
Just flash the already rooted rom. Just did a few phones with no problem.

It's safe to flash and root like normal. I just received my phone and it had a sticker on it that said updated. I didn't incur any problems.

Down Grade 4.3 to 4.1.2 Bell Help

Is it possible to down grade Bell 4.3 to 4.1.2 and it to be totally stock. I have tried to Reflash several different fiels to downgrade but it won't do it. Is it possible to do or am I stuck with 4.3
You are stuck until the devs give us a way back. ..
The entire package can be downgraded.... But the bootloader can't..... Yet....g

How do I check what boot loader I am on. I gave been flashing back and forth with no issues

I believe u can just enter download mode ansd on the top left itll say bootloader model counter etc.

Flashing is no problem...as we can flash any rom....kernel etc.
The trouble is the bootloader...and it's Knox enabled partition...
Once a flag is set...this partition is re-written and an efuse is blown...
The flag removes the ability to downgrade the bootloader ...as it now protects itself and the changes it made...
A real kick in the berries for us...and a huge bonus for Sammy...
So if your bootloader is flagged...the warranty is toast...
Until a really smart group of developers can figure out a fix...we can never revert to stock again....g
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
With that said about the partition. Can we not just re-partition with odin?

No...
These changes are well below the standard PIT partition structure ....and are likely hard bound on the EMMC...
I've never seen such a malicious piece of code before...
It resists every known attempt to access the bootloader...
I'm working with a developer today in hopes that a bootloader downgrade patch will work...but I'm not gonna count my chickens just yet..
The corporate clowns at Sammy deserve a **** sandwich for this obvious attack on our right to choose Knox or not...
I was never given the chance to "not" take Knox for my device...and they provided no warning about the outcome if the OTA was taken...
Shame on them....g

say i have a bell or rogers i317m and its on 4.3, all i want is to enable to aws frequency for wind mobile, would i still need to downgrade to 4.1 to do that? im not sure if the aws enabling thing requires 4.1, just the unlock?
Im running the MJ4 leak from a few weeks back. Works fine. for those wondering why air command and all those goodies weren't included, you have to buy the note 3 to get them. Good thing our devs ported them. BTW the MJ4 leak is completely downgradeable to 4.1.1 LJ2
How can I flah a bootloader for my i317m from an att bootloader. If I do that and it dont show my knox I can send my phone in and they will cover a repair. I did that with my infuse by accident and dint remember how

Note 3 Tmo KitKat?

is there any ROM with kitkat yet? i see posts about a leaked mexico/canadian version but no confirmation of the tom version... i don't care for root, as i only want for Google Wallet. thanks guy!
T-Mobile has not even done 1 update on the Note 3 so I wouldn't get my hopes up of seeing it anytime soon. I rooted and moved on to updating myself

Yes, I'm new to T-mobile.... I hope they release updates in at fast pace!
im not asking about tmobile releasing update. I'm asking if the existing leaks of 4.4.2 will work on the tmo note 3
No not as of now.. Someone is testing a method at the moment and if it works I'll post back here.

The leaks of 4.4.2 for other note 3 variants have a few things that won't run on our T-Mobile version, specifically bootloader and kernel. Devs are working to find a way and I'm sure once there is any progress made it would be posted all over here and on the android blogs.

I do not know how you got that running without serious f/c. I have tried every kernel known or out...and I have not got this to run yet on the N900T, I have built several versions of all the bases available, and all of the issues point to an incompatible kernel, period.
If you could PM me this custom-03 kernel you have, although I may have tried already, I sure would appreciate it....
This is not making any sense....

It could mean the update has been approved and waiting for ota. Or samsung is fixing the sd card issue before pushing it out. But not many places have it only a few countries and 2 U.S. carriers...

Samsung's source page for our phone doesn't show the KK software yet. It will appear there before any OTA update.

Still no KK software. How long will it be? I assume Tmo is waiting for all the Note 3 updates to settle down first?
Yeah, that's my assumption too. I believe it will be this month anyway, but I'm going to hold off downloading initially; I reckon that as with the update from 4.2 to 4.3 re Knox, anyone on Knoxless 4.3 roms is going to have issues gong to 4.4

Just flash a custom ROM. They have knox removed. Or are you trying to get official without root? You may be able to create a custom tar file without the boot loader. I've never tried it so I wouldn't know first hand but that's what I'd start with.

Will I lose unlock if I upgrade?

I'm running this phone on the tmobile network after I downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1.1 to unlock the phone. That worked perfectly and I'm now in tmobile with LTE and everything. My question: if I upgrade back to 4.3 will that lock the phone once again? I wouldn't want to go through the process again if it meant I would be locked from using my phone. I ask because of security issues with 4.1.1
