Hi guys I am new to doing these things on GS3, Is is the same thing on Note 2?
I'm sorry in advanced if there's already a thread that answers this question but I looked and searched around to no avail/
I am just careful as the Note 2 is simpler as I easily find solutions to my problem here in the forum.
I am a lurker and just made an account to ask this one question that no one seemed to ask yet: Is there any way I could unlock a GS3 with 4.4.2?
It's unrooted as for some reason SuperSU isn't working. I am going to try to see what I can do about that.
This was my brother's phone, He then upgraded to 4.4.2 then asked me why his new carrier sim doesn't work and was asking for an unlock code.
TLDR: Upgraded to 4.4.2 and out of options for unlocking network.
TYIA guys.
Youll have to buy an unlock code online. Ive seen reports of some places charging just a few bucks. No other known way right now.

It would be mighty awesome if you know those said websites that can unlock 4.4.2 kitkat GS3. Thank you for the info at least someone replied.
If you or a friend are (or were) on AT&T at some point in time, you might be able to request an unlock code via this form

Yeah I will try that, But Bell Mobility costs 50 bucks to do that. So I might just look for an unlocking service site. Anyone here know one that works with the gs3 OTA 4.4.2?
Thank you for the reply.

hello,
I purchased a tmobile note 7 2nd hand and I ve been using it on att with no issues. However, I'm trying to exchange it for a new one when it comes out. But I am having issues with returning it. T mobile will not help because they said I don't have a plan with them, I have called Samsung about ten times all telling me they will escalate my care and I get no where. Also called consumer safety and they were no help. Any one else having these problems?? Please help

I bought a TMobile one but returned it due to the bootloader being locked. Then I bought the Exynos international version and love it.. I have intruded and ran exposed put some mods on there and this phone is working beautifully but now the recall is technically in effect. I bought mine through a seller on eBay which one is no longer selling stuff anymore into when I called eBay they said it's not the sellers fault because the recall happened after I've already received my note so eBay sided with the seller. So I've called Samsung 6 x and everytime I get a different response from a different person one of them told me take it back to T-Mobile after I explained it's not a TMobile phone I'm just using a T-Mobile SIMs card they said it doesn't matter TMobile will switch it out for me which was a lie another person told me I needed to wait on hold to talk to a different apartment after 48 minutes I was hung up on another time I called they told me that basically I have to go through eBay and Samsung is not responsible which I do not understand because it's Samsung recalling the phones so Samsung should be replacing the phones
Hi all.
Looking for some help. Need to unlock my note7. Locked to telus. This is my second note7 phone already. Not a primary user but id like to unlock it.
Seems that web sites do not provide unlock coded . Is there any other way?
To root the phone etc?

Cheers
Anyone?
I would also like to do this with my Telus note 7 and have done all the research. There is no way to do it and I don't believe there ever will be. Sorry bud

thanks man, truly sad. Gave the phone to a friend. Either she'll have to get sign with telus (if they have good monthly plans) or call samsung settle for something. Calling Samsung prolly will be a hustle even more.
I'm using my note and cannot be happier with it.

Telus has been aggressively pursuing me to get my Note7 back. User beware.
But they will never get my Note7... :angel:

Hehe thanks.
That phone is second hand. I bought it off someone. So if they will pursue its the guy who sold it to me. =)
I'll be just getting monthly plan and a SIM, don't think they will know which phone is in use.
Not sure how good Telus plans are, as FIDO have good deals, hard to beat them.
so, i am legally blind. I bought a samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition on the huge amount of recommendations that i received from many people. It was purchased through Amazon from a 3rd party seller business. After a few months the os starting getting crazy. Seller advised resetting to factory defaults. I did this . Now it is stuck on a screen asking for a samsung account. I dont have one. I contacted Samsung and they said that since it came from this 3rd person business seller through Amazon and since it appeared that it was a non-USA model (???) that there was nothing they could do unless i was able to get the serial number or IE number for it from the seller as it does have one printed on it where it should be. Verizon said "Huh so you dont have service with us....we cant help..call Samsung". The seller is no longer in business. Long story short i needed this to be able to read books and a lot of other stuff. It worked super great when it was working....now its a $350 paperweight!!!
Can anyone help me????? I am somewhat PC savvy and understand somethings about roots and the like, but i have beeen out of doing that stuff for several years. so details on how to's might be needed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and you would be doing a huge good deed by helping a handicapped pwerson get back the only real visual aid i have. Thanks ahead of time for any help given.
Sorry man, the Verizon model so far cant have its bootloader unlocked, so any hopes of finding a way to break the lock are gone, you got scammed, a locked device is most likely a lost/stolen device, Id contact the bank and tell them about the scam if I were you. Its probably too late now since this was in 2017
yeah I had this happen with a tablet from work. I had 2 smaller galaxy tabs returned from employees. one was locked down with an account that we have NO IDEA how the employee put in there. He left and we had literally no way to unlock the tablet. The worst part was the phone/tablet guy was just going to give them both to me because they were going in the trash. I tried everything to bypass the account, came here and it was confirmed, not happening. I kept the good one and then put the other aside for an extra screen.
So I have the S3 and talked the other half into why I need to upgrade!
I'm on AT&T and am using a US Cell S3 w VzW Oreo so am not afraid of porting and making it work.
I do want AT&T NumberSync though, which is why I'm leaning towards getting it direct. But, I've seen a few forums mention getting the Korean version for the 6GB of RAM.
I'm looking to be educated, so please let me know your thoughts. I need it to be cell.

IMO go with Korean. Unless you don't care about paying for additional tablet line and rooting.
I'm able to use my existing voice sim in the tablet and it has a phone app and messaging like a regular phone.
Originally I bought the Verizon version - no oem unlock, requires tablet sim and only 4gb ram
Basically only downside I can see to ordering Korean one through eBay is the time you have to wait for it to get here. Not that bad but not the instant gratification we all want! I never knew about ordering foreign tablets, was always scared off by lack of warranty. But due to how carriers restrict US tablets, I will be buying from Korea every time in the future.

I agree... I ordered through eBay and received it in 4 days.
I think i saw in another thread you both bought from the same person. Do you by chance have their seller name you can post or message me?

Because the international version lacks a warranty, at least for USA consumers, I purchased a Squareteade warranty.
Being in HK, I'm not sure if a warranty might apply to you or not, or if there is another similar 3rd party warranty available.

so if i don purchase an extra warranty i can get it replaced only if it's damaged or not working properly?
also, does the extra warranty cover all imperfect problems observed including but not limited to those i mentioned above?
and how about rooted device? covered or not? for example, rooted but green lines found later?

So, you're able to use the tab s4 as a phone? Can you access the Play store too?
I'm asking because I plan on buying a Korean one to use as a phone.

Yes. I'm on TMobile can use play store, Samsung dialer as if it were a phone, texting everything. Works great no issues.
TMobile sees it as an unknown phone I notice no throttling whatsoever besides the same video throttling that applies to all phones. (A VPN handles that anways. )

Thanks. I'm on AT&T so it will definitely work.
I've tried finding a definitive answer but I couldn't find it. I've watched numerous videos that showed the phone icon but nothing showing it being used. Thanks again. This will definitely be my next phone.
Is there root for the Korean model?

My Korean t835 is rooted.
Afaik the only one that can't be rooted is Verizon bootloader locked one.
I have the AT&T model.... I just assumed that it couldn't be rooted, like my note pro 12.2...
