I have the Galaxy Note 3 for ATT N900A. I used Cellunlocker and the other ones on the internet. Code Not Found each and every time. I researched and read hundreds of posts. Just wanted to see if i was alone or if this is a widespread problem? Or does this have anything to do with the just discovered Region Lock Samsung has on the Note 3?? I wanted to use on my Tmobile simple choice or even prepaid. But cant get the code. So i purchased a GO Phone sim card and signed up for the 60 dollar 2.5 gb plan. The phone activated on the ATT network. I tried other peoples att sim cards and it works just fine. The online unlocker service said i can get the phone unlocked via usb cable and software. What are they talking about.

-Most people who want to get their phone unlocked use Chainfire's app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470551 You have to be rooted to use that app. (90%positive its a permanent unlock)
-I've read of a couple people who used used www.unlockunit.com or use the app in the play store.
-Have you tried calling At&t for the code? I've gotten codes from them for majority of my previous phones at no cost! I called right after I bought my Note 3, but they didn't have the codes in the system at that time and told me to call in 15 days. Well I had already rooted and unlocked with Chainfire's app by then so I had no need for the code.
-There is a method where (if they have the right equipment) they can unlock remotely with you phone connected to your computer via USB. I couldn't find and IMEI unlock for my T-mobile s3 so I did that method. Just had to install a few apps on my computer and enable USB debugging on the phone. They connected VPN via Team Viewer and unlocked my phone from there. The phone never asked me for a code, but they gave me it just in case. They most likely use the Z3X box for that (if i remember correctly, thats the one for Samsung devices)
bought 2 note 3's from T-Mobile store directly.
first one was a white Note 3 with a build date of late september. contacted TMO for the code they said I need to have the phone on service for 40days to unlock, ok nevermind.
went to cellunlocker.net, provided me the code in 2 days, unlocked the phone with their provided code no issues.
Bought a 2nd Note 3 Black one, again from T-Mobile store directly. This one with a build date of 10/16/13, contacted Cellunlocker again.
after a few days they apologized for the delay said to recheck the imei and asked if I still wanted it, said another method would take 5 business days.
Not knowing where else to turn, I agreed yes, try another method I'll wait the 5 days.
4-5 days into it they provided me the code, and I successfully unlocked the black Tmo SM-N900T works with my ATT Service.
I thought my note 3 unit was too new or something, but I guess everyone is experiencing this delay?
All I can say is whew, glad cellunlocker.net came through for me!
Unlock success?
I look forward to unlcoking my Note 3. anyone reported any success on AT&T version to unlock phone internationally?
I got my Note 4 from them in a matter of a few hours.
I think they said some orders have a time of 1 or 2 days or something. best to email them.
Hey I bought out the Galaxy S6 edge full price from bell. I decided to unlock it but I'm having issues. I bought a unlock code from a local third party but the code did not work and have me a error "request to unlock was unsuccessful ". so I went to another store and bought another unlock code and damn right that didn't work either. So I went cellunlocker.com and bought a code and you guessed it, damn thing gave me the same error. now I have a 950$ useless phone. Any ideas why aren't any codes working with Bell? I called Samsung and bell and both of them have no clue what's going on.
give a try to http://phoneunlockingshop.ca i get finally working code here
Same
The exact same thing is happening to me with the same carrier. If anyone has a solution please let me know.
So I bought a brand new, paid off, clean IMEI galaxy s6; tmobile branded.
I made the stupid mistake, that buying any carrier branded galaxy s6, be it att or tmobile, would still be unlockable; my prior galaxy s5 and s6 experience with att were unlocked by requesting such online, and I never had an AT&T account in my life. This time, I went with t-mobile, thinking it didnt matter which variant I got, as a phone purchased and paid for in full, should still be unlocked for free, without the need of having an account.
well, it turns out I was wrong. T-mobile, not only wont unlock my phone, but DOES NOT EVEN RECOGNIZE IT. Da ****?
My imei is showing on swappa, checkesn and other sites as clean, no balance and no blacklist but tmobile themselves, can not verify if its even a tmobile phone, but only if its blacklisted or not. They have informed me that if I want to unlock the phone, I have to meet the requirements set forth. The problem is, how the heck can I meet any requirements, or start the process of trying to meet them, if they cant even recognize the phone as a tmobile phone.
Ive contacted samsung and they are of no help either. I havent been able to go to tmobile store yet to see if they can help me (my hours make it almost impossible to get to a store during business hours).
Im at a loss here, what do i do to verify the phone is legit? Also, is there any way I can bypass tmobiles requirements to get my phone unlocked? Not sure what others experiences were but maybe theres a way to get i unlocked, without tripping knox/flashing and without having to be a tmobile customer for 40-60 days plus 100-120 dollars spent.
If anyone here can help/offer some suggestions, Im open to it and would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks ya'll
You sure it not from metro pcs? Same hard ware different software but interchangeable.
To unlock check out the thread by stifilz he can probably help but remote connect with donation.
Metro PCS phone probably. Buddy of mine bought a "tmobile" phone and ran into the same issue. Found out it was actually a Metro PCS phone.
I bought Galaxy S8 on Ebay. It turned out that he was on the blacklist. Is there any solution for unlocking the SIM card. I'm outside the US ...
IMEI repair.
IMEI repair is not even an option for this model, because it need the device to be ROOTED. However, there is another option you can try. I never try this my self, you should try IMEI cleaning service, it's not like imei repair, it just remove the blockage, and you still be able to have the original IMEI ( i don't think you can use it on the same carrier). Word of advise, never buy new release carrier phone on ebay, mostly because of scam like that.

Will device unlock app work when imei is cleaned or whitelisted or repaired? Do you have specific knowledge on this issue? Sim unlock on Tmobile has been a pain since like 2 months ago. Nobody able to offer service again except Tmobile.

Have you unlock your s8?I'm in the same boat.

I was worse off, I bought the device from a user that was unlocked from T-mobile. Assumed unlocked = bills paid (yeah I know, stupid me). Worked for a little bit on AT&T and then the phone notified me that it was only a temporary unlock (didn't even know this existed), relocked itself, and also was blacklisted (on T-mobile). There's a service here that seems to have good reviews but of course a little to rich for me right now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/T-Mobile-Un...446916?hash=item41ca551184:g:gLoAAOSw8GtZOww8
Do you unlock your device?

S8 T-Mobile blacklisted
So, did anybody found the way to unlock the Samsung s8 tmobile blacklisted??? :crying:
So T-mobiles policy is if the phone is not paid off an account goes past due - gets canceled not paid or reported lost or stolen or if not traded back in from warranty or insurance then it is blacklisted..... just so everyone is aware. If that phone is blacklisted it is likely one of those things I would like to point out eBay has buyer protection in place for that you can contact them if the seller doesn't rectify it firs. Also to the people suggesting IMEI Repair for no nefarious purpose, of course, you would likely need a bootloader unlock and proper root to even do that.
do a search on the web for R-SIM 11
I know it can unlocked blacklisted iphones, not sure it is works on android devices
Blacklisted
Does anyone know what function needs to be turned off for the blacklist to be undone, i have found the phone code that gets me into that part of the phone i just dont know what part i need to turn off to undo the block anyone know that by chance.
unlock s8
hi,
i bought an s8 from ebay, it was at first working w/ mint (which runs on t-mobile) but when i took it outside of the US, it wouldn't work. i contacted T-Force & was told that the imei was clean but needed to talk to accounting or some other dept to see if it had a balance to be paid or something which didn't make any sense to me.
if anyone has encountered this situation please let me know how to resolve it, i tried changing the rom but it didn't work.

Could you explain how to ROOT the device. I bought an S8 second hand and tuned up to be blacklisted and google account blocked. I managed to remove google account with odin and combination file but no idea how to clean the imei and unblacklist. Help me to save my £350 purchase. never again second hand but not in the position to buy brand new.:crying:
Many Thanks in advance
Hi I used the app I offer to purchase a a Samsung Galaxy s8. Now before I bought it the person told me it was Google locked and the phone shop wanted additional 40 bucks to unlock it and I told him I don't want to pay extra for it I'll just buy it as it is. He gave me the IMEI and i checked on swappa before hand. It says clean and is not blacklisted or anything. I YouTubed some videos on how to bypass the Google account. And I downloaded a software called "Odin" and some other files along with Samsung drivers to install but when I got to the first step it said "failed". Everytime I do a hard reset it says "MetroPCS" but it is a Verizon phone and it said on the top corner when I was trying to download the stuff to bypass the Google account it said "original carrier is Verizon" the person told me he was able to use MetroPCS and T-Mobile on it so I'm thinking it's unlocked but I'm not sure. He didn't steal the phone because I asked and checked the IMEI. So I'm not sure what's going on. And is there a way I can bypass the Google account? I did it before for s6 edges and other Android devices. I'm not sure how to do it for this one. I paid good money for it because phone seems in excellent condition. Here's the werid part. I bought another s8 straight from Samsung as a trade in deal for T-Mobile. I read on the back it was made in China and the Google locked s8 I bought was orchid gray and it said made in Vietnam. Plus it was very lightly printed. Could it be a fake s8? And on the back it reads SM-G950U as the model number and I can provide the IMEI if anyone can help me. I would appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this. Thanks.
What??
