Does Flashing SGH-I747 4.3 to a custom ROM will remove the carrier lock of the phone?

No, you are Still locked to your carrier

Couple of things to keep in mind:
1) if you want to unlock the phone, get a code and unlock the phone while running a stock ROM. You will not be able to enter the code using a custom ROM; and
2) do not attempt to downgrade the bootloader. Any attempts to downgrade could, and probably will, brick your phone.

Does this really works?
I have read through the forums. And I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/app-galaxsim-unlock-1-02-jb-compatible-t1846451 Does this really work?

I doubt it. If it did, there would be a big thread about it in the i747/i747m forum. Also, under FAQ, it states the following: support international Galaxy S3 i9300 (Us qualcomm based GS3 are not supported at this time)
The last post in that thread was 2013-06-14.

That unlock app will not work as it does not support U.S S3 variants
There's a working downgrade to 4.1.1 check it out and while on it, try the free unlock then upgrade again
Edit: my bad.. You can't do the free unlock even of you downgrade because the bootloader is still 4.3... Only way to do it once you're on 4.3 bootloader is to purchase an unlock code
Good luck

Developer Edition vs Carrier Model. Explanation?

Can someone please explain to me what the EXACT difference is between the Verizon Note 4 DE and the stock Verizon note 4 DE.
I'm not a developer or programmer but is there really no way to utilize the discrepancy or software/hardware between the two devices to achieve root or unlocked bootloader??

There is only one difference, besides the model numbers, and that is the unlocked bootloader. When you receive a Developer Edition Note you get exactly the same hardware, software, bloatware etc. that comes with the retail (carrier) version.

Does Developer Edition receive updates in parallel with the standard Note 4?
Second question is whether unlocked bootloader alone allow you to install su, etc and have root? Or are we still in need of some exploit, etc?

No, the DE does not receive updates. You have to do them by hand.
YES! The unlocked bootloader does allow you to install TWRP as well as achieve root. This is the reason I bought mine.

Fine to install manually if the updates are available. Are the updates available then?
Great about instant root access. I don't need a custom ROM with Xposed.

Yes, there is an updated stock (NJ5) firmware that can be ODIN safely for the Developer Edition Note 4.

Where did you get hold of the Verizon dev editon? Samsungs website won't allow me to actually carry out the purchase.

They are out of stock so you'll have to keep checking until they are available again.

So the little disclaimer at the bottom of the N4 DE purchase page about FCC clearance is not actually true?

The backlogged order form is to tell you when they are in. However its not a pre-order and first come first serve. So really its trying to get one is a super challenge at this point. You best bet is to call and ask when the next shipment is coming in and be on the ball several times a day checking the site to order. Its soo worth owning one.

I got it from Samsung's website. I was just lucky enough to get one of the ones in the second wave of them that were released.
Eventually Samsung should make more available but they sure don't seem to be in any hurry.
I recommend you do NOT rely on the "preorder" link on the website at all. After the first wave sold out I put in a "preorder" and I never did get an email saying they were available once the second wave hit. I only knew about it because I made it a habit to check the site every day. Even though I've had the phone for several weeks now I still haven't been notified that it ever did come back into stock.

Sorry, it would sound so stupid to ask but I want to make sure... Does the DE and Retail have same model number? If not, how can I know to find the difference? I looked up on Google for model number and end up with same number with my phone that I bought from Verizon from day 1 when it came out.

You have the retail model since you purchased from Verizon. DE must be purchased directly from Samsung.

Thanks for clearing up. I was trying to figure out what to do since the root for retail model is not out yet...

Would I lose root if I flashed a T-Mobile ROM on my DE?

Pretty sure you would lose data and a few other things....there us a verizon version of FireKat in the Tmo rom section in the FireKat thread.

[Way too] Commonly asked questions

Commonly asked questions for the Note 4 N910A. I am seeing these same questions asked over and over and over and over and over again.
1) Is there root available?
There is NO permanent root available.
Temporary root is available ONLY if your phone hasn't updated past firmware OC4.
2) Can I install [this ROM] or [firmware from another Note 4 model]?
NO! We have a locked bootloader still. The only thing you can flash is firmware made for this phone by Samsung/ATT.
3) Will Kingroot or Klingo root work?
See #1. Kingroot is how you do the temp root mentioned in #1.
4) My OTA update won't install! HELP!
See my other thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3226166
4) I'm not on ATT or not in the US, how do I update to the latest firmware?
See my other thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3226166
5) Will this phone ever be rooted?
I don't know. Let me use my crystal ball to look into the future. Oh wait! NO ONE CAN TELL THE FUTURE!!!
6) What? This phone isn't rooted yet or has had the bootloader unlocked? It's been a year since this phone has been released!
GTFO... NOW! Run as fast as you can. We will be in hot pursuit with pitchforks and torches.

Retail -> Dev OR Retail bootloader unlock.....Pros and Cons

Are there any differences? Pros and Cons to each of these methods?
Thanks in advance.

The stock unrooted runs just as well in my opinion. If you want to flash different roms then go ahead a unlock and root. It really cones down to what you want to do with your phone.

Thank you for your response.
Yes...I want to push new ROMs to my phone...been doing it for 10 years now..
So...is the Dev version better for this? or is the Retail with the Unlocked bootloader going to be better?

It's essentially the same. The exploit turns a retail note 4 into a developers edition note 4. All its doing is changing the CID to match a dev edition. You can push Roms, kernels, modems, etc to it same as a dev edition. Just more steps to do to get to the final product.

who can help me to unlock boot loader of ZC550KL (Android 6.01 TW version )?
I tried many solutions in these similar threads but all failed ?
My phone firmware version : ww_8989_13.8.26.28_20160425
Thanks in advance for your helpful!

You can't be on marshmallow and unlock bootloader. Flashong mm relicks bootloader and no unlock yet. So if you want unlocked bootloader you have to downgrade to Lollipop.

Go to asus official website and then go to download section of driver n tools...then download according to your phone's model. Asus provides its official bootloader unlocker in their download section of official website.
Hope it will be helpful enough.
