Well I had seen someone asking about this and I gave it a try.
I updated from MF9 to MJA 4.3.
Inserted a non-sprint sim card (telcel from Mexico) and I was given the option to change or add apn.
I've been trying to attach the screen shot s but the app won't let me.?

Ok there. That was my first post ever.
So does this mean it's already unlocked?

Have you tried a T-Mobile or ATT sim in it?
No. I'll try to get a hold of one later on when I get out of work and try it.

I just tried a t-mobile sim and it still let's you add new apn. However the "NETWORK OPERATOR" option stays greyed out. I don't get the "invalid sim card" error like before.

Try changing it from cdma/lte to gsm and see if it allows you to use T-Mobile service. I would do it but I don't know anyone that has T-Mobile.

Can't try it until wednesday, my cousin is the only one I know who has t-mobile and he's gone for the week.

I can confirm mja let's you modify apn's, and now is even easier for us to install roma from other carriers, I'm running latest omega and I didn't even have to install stock kernel, just flash omega and modify apn's and i got 4g

No you must first install APN shortcut from the play store, use it to modify your apns ,
I almost never need to change my network mode! But just in case you do, go to your mobile networks or to your dialer and * #*#4636#*#* and then click on phone information,I hope it works for you man, please let me know if it works thanks
And just one more thing, after you modify your apns you might need to wait for a few minutes before you get 4g, it happened me

When you say 4G what do you mean? Hspa+? I don't think that this phone even has the capability of band 4 lte. I wrote a guide on domestic sim unlock that is reliable and any input you have on it would be great. Check my profile for the link.

I just did the same thing but it went right back to 1 bar. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact I use an Airave in my home? I wouldn't think it should though, because the signal strength reporting was ok prior to the update.
Mine went back to 1 bar too. This is the same problem I had when I first got the one and their first small update fixed that. Now back to the original crap reception on 4g.

Well... I just hope they make a fix for it soon. It doesn't seem to be anything serious, just annoying.

It's not just the icons. I believe international firmwares don't have the xml required to show the 4G LTE icon. I am working on it as we speak.

I believe so. You'd be better off asking Brian (the OP) as he ported it.
you need flash a modified AT&T SystemUI for x-note

Okay so I have an AT&T Note 3. And Im tired of dealing with AT&T haha. Too pricey. Is there any way I can use mine on T Mobiles network? Fixing to order a sim card from them. Will it work?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
You have to obtain a SIM unlock code. You can either call at&t if your the original owner and get one for free. I go overseas a lot so they gave it to me. Or you can obtain one for a price online.
If the phone is or gets blacklisted, it won't work on at&t or tmobile anymore.
It will work. I did it.
However, the service is not as good as a full blown T-Mobile phone and there will be no wifi calling. I am debatig on selling this and buying the T-Mobile brand phone...
If you do not care about wifi calling you can install the T-Mobile Rom on the ATT Note 3. I did and the phone service was much better.

It is fairly straightforward. Was easy to install.
Once I installed the TMO os on the phone it WORKED BETTER. Again, I cannot wifi call but adding the tmo carrier option via the Modificatinator helped a lot and it FIXED THE GPS issue. It's obvious the GPS issue is ATT related. Was not easy adding the additional TMO carrier options on the Modificatinator but once figured it was cake.
Yep and then some
It will most certainly work on T-Mobile if you ended your contract/relationship with ATT legally/appropriately. Visit - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485441 for some really important information while switching. There are changes to build.prop that can improve 4G speed , reception , etc.
Okay so I unlocked my phone. Im using t mobile now. But 4G doesnt work. Any way I can get it to work?

I rooted an ATT Note 3 but I need to put a SIM from T-mobile and now Note 3 is asking for an unlocking PIN... Am I missing something? I thought once you rooted the phone you can use it on any network that take sims card...
or has this change?
please would some one lead me to the right direction for the love of god?
No I think there was a way to do this on an early build... You need to use an unlocking service should cost around 30

As I stated I the post you quoted it will only work on MI9 basebands and earlier. MJ5 will years no results.
You will either have to contact AT&T and hope they give you the unlock code, or find a website that offers unlocking for money. There is no way around it.
