Hello guys!
I know that the N900A KK, as of now can not be rooted, but i was wondering if anyone knows a sure way to unlock the simcard to use in another country?
I got some bad advice and I bought a brand new Note 3 with bad imei, thinking that it wouldn't matter since I don't live in US. If I can't find a service that unlocks it or root it I am screwed!!!!
Thank you
You're screwed. Xda prohibits the discussion of imei anything.

Contact the carrier who blacklisted it, they are the ones that can re move the blacklist and unlock it.

Hello all,
Firstly appologies if I'm on the wrong thread I couldn't find one for the Ativ S neo.
I've just bought a Samsung Ativ S neo locked to AT&T, I thought I would only be a question of paying for the unlock code et voila. But the 2 unlocking company I have used so far could not get a code. I was wondering if someone here had similar experience and if they manage to sort it out.
Thanks in advance,
Cheerio
I thought the Neo was on Sprint only? In any case, have you tried talking to AT&T directly?
It was extremely recent.

AT&T release their Neo in November. I've tried to phone them but gave up aafter a while being sent from service to service, I try to send them an email but it came back saying that they don't deal with customer care by email anymore. I'll try to call them again, the 8hrs difference makes it a bit tricky ...

I have the exact same problem. I also tested with two different services and non of them was able to unlock my device both said that they couldn't find my imei in the database.
I've called them twice now and both time they told me I need to have an account with them to get te unlock code. If there is anyone with an AT&T account willing to help to would be appreciated, it's free for you I could reward you for your help...
PM me if willing.
Cheerio
I have ordered a at&t go sim from eBay hopping that when I register it I will be a costumer. Don't know if that will work but guess it's worth a shot.

Please let me know if you succeed. I had no luck with AT&T nor with unlocking website. I have a brand new phone that I can't use, very frustrating.

Of course, haven't got my sim yet. Expecting it next week.
Don't know if it's true but I read somewhere that you must activate the phone with an at&t sim before entering an unlock code or it will get permanently locked.

I've finally managed to get it unlocked through "theunlockingcompany.com" At first they didn't have the code and refunded me straight away asking me to check with them by email in 2-3 weeks, which I did and they now gave me the code. It cost me £18
No need for AT&T sim card.

hello there I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong place
So I bought this z1s on craigslist and it worked for a month but now it stopped getting service. I checked the IMEI and the phone now is blacklisted
so I thought I could just unlock it and use it with other carriers!
please if you know a way to make it work let me know

That guy must of blacklisted it
Can I unlock it with unlock code?
What if I unlock it online by the imei?
*I don't know if it can be unlocked when its blacklisted* but I googled how to unlock it and it's possible for 40$. So that I can use it with other carriers. When I put my straight talk sim in it.. It asks for a unlock code

Oh wait i asked a silly question, i reported mine stolen the day it got stolen so it should of been black listed before even being sold lol. Now a new issue arrives with my new z1s, the screen died on me, but backlight is visible if i shine direct light onto the screen, no artifacts etc so it's gotta be something with the screen

I can't really 100% confirm but I was on kitkat i think .37 build then you root that firmware first, then install super su and activate ota keeper i think that's what it was called, then you can now accept the ota in the update application. Oh make sure you don't deodex the rom in .37 build or else you can't install the .56 update, you may deodex after installing .56 though.
Hello my friends i post this alongside actively searching for the solution, other day i bought a desire 510 a11_ul android 4.3 locked and branded to o2 (o2__01), i went on to sim-unlock the device with success and then the bootloader, all i get is emergency calls only, im so far lead to believe it has something to do with the ruu? i just want the thing working on 3uk, i need pointing in the right direction, any help will lessen my headache and wud be greatly appriaciated, Thank you

First find out what your carriers settings are, like the APN settings. See if it's gsm cdma.. You can try going in the phones settings and checking them out open the dialing pad and *#*#4636#*#* and look around.
hi, thank you for your response, that menu was the first thing i tried lol, i put an o2 sim in and i got it to show the H symbol next to the signal bars which still had a cross on them, it also auto installed the apn settings other than that, no change

You cannot unlock the SIM card with a code from anywhere online it doesn't work that way because number one the SIM card in these phones is only to allow the phone to get LTE internet speeds number two the MEID is how the phone gets service not just the SIM card cause you can remove the SIM card and the entire phone will still work just without LTE number three you can't insert another carriers SIM card and then have the phone ask you to enter the unlock code because the phone will never ask for that code when you put another SIM in there it will just say invalid SIM card and nothing else and number four, the phone is unlocked via uicc and has to be done on the carriers side not some unlocking websites code....

Well you said you sim unlocked it with success in this first post of yours right here and that's why both me and @dip_spit asked how you did that, you didn't say it wasn't legit then.

No. Because many people have gotten the unlock codes and not a single person can find a way for the phone to ask for it. Of course he IS in Europe and their rules are different there so he may have, who knows.

And you are expecting the "site" to do what exactly?
Why don't you just take your phone to your carrier and have them program it to use their services?!?!

It could be a legitimate unlocking site that he used and expected it to work with his 510 (which they probably don't say that they don't support it), in which case he can probably convince them to refund his money.
Or it could be a scam site, in which case he'll have to do a charge-back or something to get his money back.
Also, he could take it to his current carrier but given the evidence of previous users, they won't unlock and program it for their network because the likelihood of them being able to is slim to none.

It seems like he's screwed then. I unfortunately don't know how or what settings to use to help him with the issue. He did say "should I contact o2?" So I asummed he could contact them I guess.
Hi to all, I have a samsung SM-N920T locked on T-mobile, so it refuses to work with sims of other carriers. I can't use the built-it app to unlock it because I've bought it of second hand, the app refuses to work saying the phone isn't eligible for unlocking and I can't contact T-mobile not having a T-mobile account. How can I unlock it without paying a third parts service? I have already rooted the phone.
Thanks in advance

if the phone is paid and your not locked into a Sprint plan, Sprint will unlock it for you, or if you are in the Service they will unlock it. They might even just unlock it anyway.. I just got the note9 to replace my essential ph1, and I called Sprint to have the Essential phone unlocked, and they were confused, and thought I wanted my note9 (which I lease) unlocked. if I didn't correct them I think they were going to do it!
i am living outside USA ? and it's not paid off too?
