You should probably ask in the questions section. You can find official firmware in sammobile or updato (Google search)

Yea it does. I also need to downgrade to sum unlock since tmo is screwing me around.
Downgrading will allow network unlocking using a free method?
As far as I recall, there is no way to force a bootloader downgrade from mm to kk.

I'm not on MM I'm on LP 5.0.2
My mistake, I meant to say LP, not mm as I know the note 3 never received mm from Samsung.

How do I network unlock then? Do I need just the baseband or how do I go about it? Tmo is lying and jacking me around and I'm poor n can't afford a unlock that costs
Flashing different bootloaders or modems will not sim unlock the phone. The cheapest method I know of to unlock would be to buy an unlock code via eBay.

What I'm asking is can I flash the baseband for 4.4.2 and do the service menu unlock as I would if on stock 4.4.2?
I have never heard of a service menu unlock method for the note 3. Do you have a link?

That's my plan for the unlock is the service menu unlock. Can you please get me the KK modem/baseband to perform it please? Or a working link to the modems foe n900t for kk?
Do you have a link to the service menu unlock method? I've never heard of one.
There was a service menu unlock method for the s3 and possibly the s4 but never heard of one for the note 3.
The stock kk modem would be found in the kk stock ROM which can be downloaded from Sammobile.com.
Before flashing anything, I would confirm that such an unlock method works. Playing around with the service menu can wreak havoc with a phone.

I can't use sammobile. I don't have the patience to sit n sign up for it plus out takes,ungodly time,to download anything lol. Would,you or anyone have the files needed on deck? Say Android host sites or a,Google drive maybe?
You could search the general threads for the files you need. Not sure if they are there, but the 4.4.2 service menu may need a 4.4.2 bootloader? If the phone had a 5.0 bootloader, you may not be able to downgrade the bootloader.
How do you use the service menu to network unlock?
I never had a T-Mobile note 3, only the Canadian note 3.

*#0011# I'm guessing. I need the mj2 baseband or before and only the baseband. I have a s8 plus and a s5 but I needs this unlocked so I can resell for more
Are you aware of anyone who successfully unlocked using the service menu? If there was such a method, it probably would have been posted on XDA.

I've only seen and done it myself on a Samsung S II (hercules) on stock firmware and read that it was available on other similar Samsung phones but I never tried it on the Note 3 as I thought Samsung eliminated that option (even though it was pretty hidden)
The option was also available for the s3 on 4.1.1 but it has never been done with any note 3 on any version of the stock ROM afaik.
Hi. I have an AT&T-branded unlocked S9 (SM-G960U) and I have not been receiving software updates. The date of the installed security patch is Nov. 1, 2018, and I'm still on Android 8.0. When I check for updates, it says that my phone is up-to-date. My current carrier is outside the USA. I have also tried updating via Smart Switch but it also says my phone is up-to-date.
Is there any way I could get the Android Pie update?
Thanks for the help!

in short, the U1 is a debloated version of stock without the carrier junk. The different iterations will have different modem files that are intended to work best with the respective markets they are built for, globally speaking. Samsung stopped making a separate version for the GSM carriers in the USA with the S8 which is why all the stock image files are now cross compatible. They technically always were, its just that theyre far more interchangable now due to this physical difference no longer existing

So do you mean that the different carrier versions of U1 firmware don't have carrier apps, but have files that make the phone more compatible with the carrier's network?
It seems as though AT&T can only send updates over their network, which I don't have access to because I'm outside the US. If I change my firmware to U1, would I then receive updates OTA in the future directly from Samsung?

they have very minimal bloatware, they might include carrier apps, but very few. They usually have carrier specific radio firmware to allow the phone to operate best on that specific network, yes.
i would flash one in the very near future myself, but im about to head to Mexico on vacation, so im a tad paranoid to do so. Ill do it when i get back tho. By the end of this month, ill be running a U1 firmware set

non us models are signed with different keys so they will fail to flash as has always been the case as long as i can remember.
if somehow the bl is unlocked then thats a different story but dont get ur hopes up.

Hello..
I'm not sure I understand.. If you want an A50 with an Unlocked Bootloader.. why buy a "U" version? Why not just buy an "F" or "G" version?
They have the bands to work on T-Mobile and AT&T... and can be rooted.
You obviously don't care about having Samsung Pay.. so is it just you want to have Verizon / Sprint / Xfinity as your Carrier?
F and G versions are available for under $300.00 U.S.D. at Amazon and on Ebay.

First download this version of ODIN: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4952061&d=1581888388 (I used the newest 3.14.1 patched)
Then download this firmware file: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a50/firmware/SM-A505U1/XAA/download/A505U1UES9BTI4/386407/
Download mode: Turn your A50 off. Hold power and Volume UP until you see second Samsung logo and release. Choose Download Mode (Last entry)
Extract files from firmware ZIP. Open ODIN as Administrator. Plug in your device. Choose BL AP CP CSC from firmware folder (Choose HOME CSC if you want to preserve your settings etc). Click Start. after a few minutes you now have an unlocked SM-A505U to SM-A505U1 device. This will allow it to work on other carriers such as Visible which is what I needed.

Hi everyone.
I recently purchased a A705W from online. It's been working great on Metro/T-Mobile for me, however, even after 168+ hours of up time, I still don't see the "OEM Unlock" option in developer options.
I've factory reset the phone (beforehand, and let THAT add up to 168+ hours), manipulated the time and date, etc. Nothing seems to be working.
Any suggestions on how I can get the OEM Unlock option to appear?
Thanks!

I have a SM-A705FN (UK model). I'm not sure about your model in terms of it having the OEM unlock option in the developer options, I've seen some threads here that some of the North American models don't allow it.
I had the same issue, but found that I had to have a sim card installed and connected to Wi-Fi (and plugged into the charger of PC), but I don't think the cable being plugged in was the issue, definitely the SIM, and Wi-Fi, at least for me.
Give me a sec and I'll try on mine and get back to you.

Sorry my friend, I tried:
- Disabling OEM Unlocking in Developer Options
- Disabled USB debugging.
- Disabled Developer Options.
- Disabled Wi-Fi
- Powered off the phone, removed sim tray.
- Powered back on, enabled developer options again, and OEM Unlocking is there.
I have had the same problem as you, but that was a while back and I've flashed so many different versions since.
Why are you waiting for the OEM unlock to appear? It's either there or not, no time constraints as far as I know. Perhaps someone else knows.
As I said, try factory reset/wipe cache, ensure a sim is in, connect to wi-fi and perhaps try again.
Good luck. :good:
Ok, replicated and got it to work
I replicated the issue you are experiencing, this is the procedure I followed - hope it works for you:
- Disabled USB debugging, OEM unlocking and then disabled Developer Options.
- Disabled Wi-Fi.
- Flashed the latest version of stock firmware.
- Powered down the phone and removed the SIM tray.
- Disconnected the charger/PC cable.
- Rebooted to stock android recovery, factory reset/wipe cache.
- Started phone again, skipped most steps, including Wi-Fi setup (still no sim card installed).
- Enabled developer options, confirmed, NO OEM Unlocking available.
- Connected to Wi-Fi.
- Went to Developer options, OEM Unlocking now available. :good::good:.
So, at least for my SM-A705FN, you don't need a sim card, just internet connectivity (and probably a fresh flash of stock firmware, factory reset and cache wipe from android recovery).

You're right, A705 is only Snapdragon (confusion with S10) however, north American versions of this phone like A705W are not bootloader unlockable due to carrier restrictions.

I got my A705W for $229, so it was a pretty good deal. I bought an A705MN on Amazon and it arrived today. Rooted, TWRP'd and everything in between with no problems I've filed for a return for the 705W.

The process is similar to converting a hatchback to a sedan.
1. Order a dual SIM A70
2. Sell the A705w single SIM on Swappa, eBay or craigslist.
Why do you think it is possible?
flashing a combination firmware should fix the OEM unlock without problem, its a developer firmware used for tests, here it is https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962591760

Hi there, so about few months ago like back in August, I got myself an LG Wing after LG announced that they were going to close the mobile division. I live in Malaysia and I asked help from a friend in India to help me get one and send it over.
After getting it in my hands, and after I inserted the SIM, it says Network locked. I bought the phone unlocked but it turns out, the phone needs to be used with a SIM from the same country, perform a 30 minutes call and then it would become unlocked.
Given that I stay in Malaysia, its impossible for me to travel all the way to India to unlock a phone. That said, is there any way I could perform either one of the following?
- Get the Unlock Pin to be able to use with other network?
- Change the India Official ROM with a different country ROM perhaps?
Thanks!

Currently no method (yet) to unlock bootloader and install ROMs or GSI images, unless you get lucky like one member did here and get a demo model that's already bootloader unlocked from factory

What are the steps to root a demo model? I am thinking to buy a demo model. It seems cheap.

You don't, unless you hopefully get lucky and its factory bootloader unlocked. There's no way (yet) to unlock the bootloader to root every lg wing, demo or not
Don't buy a demo model unless its just a phone to play with. Not a good every day use phone
