I know there's a lot of speculation after the S7 and S7 Edge where locked on T-Mobile that they know 7 will also be locked on T-Mobile. I've made numerous calls to T-Mobile and to Samsung. In the end 8ts anybody's guess right now. I have had every Note since Note 2 and have ALL been Rooted. When my phone gets delivered in the next hour or two I was wondering if there's any way I can check myself to see if the bootloader is unlocked?

Lol I was wondering the same thing. How do you really know if it's unlocked or not?

According to Chainfire on cf-auto-root. They said on the site that they routed the international version to go ahead and try it on the T-Mobile. If it's locked it won't flash if it's unlocked it will Flash

That's true if they're so worried about security why do they unlock the international version?

For those of you that don't want to trip Knox, I'd be very careful messing around with stuff until someone who doesn't care about their Knox counter has done it
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app
Truth be told I've tripped Knox on every device I've ever had and including my wife's we went through for Note 4 is with her because of the camera issue Knox was tripped every time and Samsung fix it everytime my Note 10 had a bad battery connection.. I sent it to Samsung while it was still rooted and they fixed it with Knox tripped I'm not telling anybody that ripped nox but I'm just saying I've always got away with it

I would be more worried about Samsung pay then warranty work.
Sub'd
I'm no dev, but I don't think it's locked. I booted into recovery mode, and rebooted to bootloader, and it was ready to download. Like you would to flash odin.
If it's unlocked you'll be able to flash anything if it's locked you can always flash Samsung stuff with the signature

I've had the Z for about a month now, even with 4.3 it's still worth it. That said, I pray the camera software is better than the 4.3. I can say that I be pretty ticked off we don't have access to kit kat via OTA stock os. I like phones that are plug and play, plus I'm not voiding a warranty on a 600$ phone just to get an OS that I should technically be allowed to run being an Xperia user an all...
Use Xperia update checker to see if update is out for your cda. It's an XDA members program, just search for it. I'm in New Braunfels, TX and I got it through PCC.

Did you just load the program through PCC by getting the file separate from a third party or did you use a third party uploader to put the os on? I'm a little confused. I appreciate the help regardless, thanks.

You need to hit, check for firmware, to see who gets 681. I flashed Canada Generic 290 out of the ftf thread in Z1 General section and then connected to PC Companion and got the 681 KK update.

Hello XDA,
I know I am not usually on but now is a chance for me to actually get some posts in lol..
So I bought this Note 3 on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean from Craigslist (I know, bad idea) and it turns out that it was blacklisted by AT&T.
My question is: Can I unlock (buy an unlock from cellunlocker.net) and USE the Note 3 on a different carrier? (T-Mobile).
I just don't want to waste the $30 on an unlock for it to be useless...
Thank you all!
You should be able to. They will refund your money if it does not work. They are awesome like that.

Really? In the disclaimer RIGHT before purchase, it says to be sure to CHECK and make sure the IMEI is not reported as lost or stolen, and is not blacklisted..
Thanks for the quick reply.

if it's blacklisted by AT&T, you're probably out of luck with other carries in the US as well. so unlocking it won't help. i have seen a lot of listings on eBay with bad ESNs saying they can only be used abroad.
If you can get it unlocked, you can use it on T-Mobile and other GSM carriers.
It is flagged on AT&T's network

Yes at&t and t mobile share blacklisted imei's. How often they update their databases is an unknown. The device will have to be used in another county if you can't get it working here. I think xda frowns upon further discussion on imei's.

Well I bought the unlock and it was successful. The phone will not take my SIM due to the blacklist though..
Any suggestions on what to do to get my money back?
How much will it go for on CL or EBay? I will mention it is under a block..
Thank you everyone!

First, was the item listed as blacklisted when purchasing? If so your screwed. If not, try for your money back. It's worth a shot, but not likely since its blacklisted.

I am having a really big problem. For two years and about 7 devices later I can't seem to fix my problem of my phone either recording my calls and tracking my location. I have tried almost everything. Even took my phone to a data dr. Which they said my phone was cloned and my phone company said my number was being spoofed. I've changed phones, numbers, and even phone company's, but still no luck. Can somebody help me please. Here are my logs
I have seen this in every device forum I have supported... Only once was it legit. The rest were just paranoid.
If you have been through 7 devices and multiple different companies, chances are that you are just paranoid. But... There is a small chance that an app that you have on your phone is Rouge...
Is it possible that you have a psycho boyfriend/husband that is installing tracking software on your phone?

Wifi calling is a t-mobile exclusive as far as I know. You may have some luck with one of these http://www.rebtel.com/en/International-Calling-Guide/Mobile-Apps/Top-5-apps-for-WiFi-Calling-in-2013/

Sprint lied! Wi-Fi calling app is exclusive to T-Mobile and is integrated in the framework on the T-Mobile phone. Therefore can't just be installed on another phone.
Now there are other options like Google voice or another 3rd party app. You can download then off the playstore. They'll allow you to make phone calls over Wi-Fi, but give you a new number as well.

Hey i learned something new today. Sprint did start offering Wi-Fi calling in Feb it was exclusive to T-Mobile for a long time; however he still lied to you because the only phones that are showing capable are the mega, s4 mini, note 3, s4

My old HTC M7 gets lots of HTC system software from the play store. I wish Samsung would do the same, and other manufacturers. Might be the start of them doing it with Pay.
