OK, Hello XDA fellows,
I am trying to put together some information, and had an idea come to me about the NOTE 3, Mine is the sprint variant, N900P.
There are hundreds of threads that say yes and no on is it possible to use on GSM. I have come to realize that unless UICC is unlocked then you cannot get GSM (USA Carriers) to work.
My question lies in why can you "bypass" uicc on other phones but not this one?
I ask this with knowledge about the LG G2 unlocking procedure listed here>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729370<
Is there anyone currently trying to duplicate this method on the sprint(or any) Note 3?
please be gentle in any responses, I am no n00b, but am not an advanced hacker either lol.
any input on this would be wonderful, or maybe any suggestions that I could use to "tinker" with my note3.
I hope this might spark enough intrest to try out things on the sprint note 3 again.
well its sadly to say that there is noway to unlock uicc even with a professional unlock boxes (good job Spirnt :good: ) , if someone has any solution that can unlock my n900p and make it work on gsm so i can give him upto 50$ or even more, if someone can. if anybody has some solution contact me in pm. or reply here
RE-Stating what was meant
ok maybe no one has realized what I was asking.. I want to know can anyone help me do the same as what was done for the LG G2...
If i can read the code(what programs are needed in windows), and I can get the roms from the Tmobile version, then maybe I can replicate that on this phone. I would be willing to use my phone as the test subject, and from there would post my EFS when I am done, as well as a custom made rom for it like the G2 Rom
Please PM me if you have ideas, or comments for me, if you are also working on it, please let me know what you have done, both in progress and failures.

Not to be a wet blanket .......
It's my understanding that the code that would need changed can only be done "over the air" by Sprint. And to make matters worse the code is encrypted, so with out the key it can't be done. All so a LG and Samsung phone code is so incompatible that I don't think looking at it would help. Just changing the settings APNs Radios etc. won't help us use a different Sim card.
Keep thinking!

hi i bought locked in calgary galaxy note i717 (already have cynogenmod version 10.0.0-RC0-quincyatt & paranoid android version 2.21)
how can i find carrier of my i717
I don't understand your question. Are you asking what carrier the phone is locked to? Model number under battery will tell you that? Are you asking how to unlock phone for any carrier? I believe with Canadian Notes it is better to use a third party unlocking service (like from ebay) to get the phone unlocked if it already isn't. But on the other hand I think some Canadian Notes come unlocked from factory. If the phone is unlocked, maybe you just need to enter the APN for your carrier.
For future reference, questions should be posted in the questions and answers section.
OP yes please explain your question and this has been moved to the Q&A. Thank You
Go to www.samfirmware.com and you can find the stock carrier rom. You can flash it with Odin software and a pc and the charging cable.
When you flash it your phone won't be rooted anymore.
I thought my answer was sufficient but OK.

Well Sir, your jokes or comments are not helping....there is a right way and wrong way to provide assistance and your way is not right.
If it bothers you so much that individuals are asking and looking for assistance, then stay out of the Q&A threads. Now I do not mind showing members assistance but bottom line they have to figure it out them self's. Teach them, not bash them.
Again if I see you bashing instead of providing, Stand By Sir. Thank You

now i have 2 question
a how to carrier unlock galaxy note i717r
b which rom should i flash my galaxy note so i work with mobilicity
thanks
You have to get an unlock code. That is something you purchase from ebay.
The Rogers rom is ok, but you have to flash a modem. Any modem compatable with t-mobile will work for you.
Dear just unlocked my phone
only one problem is left which is to used with mobilicity
so can u send me the link to get flash with a modem so my phone can run with mobilicity

Going by your other post you are already unlocked and rooted. That is the main step you needed to accomplish.
Before doing anything, do research. There are guides everywhere on how to flash roms. YouTube has hundreds of videos that have step by step instructions on what to do.
Research so you have an idea of what is going on, then come back here and ask questions you have. It makes everything a lot easier for you and for people helping if you have a general idea of what is going on.

Honestly you need to look up everything you can about flashing because the more you know the less chance you have of screwing your phone up. Research, read, read, read, if you have questions ask them, then flash or do whatever you want to do.
You can ask for help but you at least need to do your research and reading, otherwise it makes you look lazy.

If that's what you are trying to do, the other thread you posted in has everything you need. Go back there and actually read the information. To me, it looks like you want to be spoon fed everything. That isn't going to be useful down the road when you screw something up and have no idea what to do.
So i decided to ask LG if we actually do have an unlocked BootLoader and if we did how were we supposed to unlock it and this is what they responded me with....
Dear Carlos,
Thank you for contacting LG Electronics.
Unfortunately in USA models boot loader cannot be unlocked as a carrier request. USA models, even though they look similar to the international modes, have carrier specifications on their software. Due to their request that’s why we are not able to unlock it.
Once again thank you for contacting LG. In case you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again either via email, or by calling our customer service division at your convenience. Have a wonderful day.

If you disable the lockscreen and use Widgetlocker.... along with Nova Launcher, it does give it a Nexus feel.

For rooting? It's the same I believe. For the bootloader, I'm not sure. I think you still need to unlock the way we do if you have a P769.

That's true, kuma.. Personally I read for a couple of weeks, over and over all that was needed and how to recover from mistakes.. It helped so much reading all the posts, what works, what doesn't. I'm very greatful to everyone that went before, and the crazy devs for pushing the envelope and figuring things out.
The current unlocking process may be complicated, but it works, if you take time to read(and read again).
Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I want to unlock SO BADLY but I get stuck after I flash, I don't know what to do ahaha xD
The current unlock method for TMO P769 is so convoluted and it seems rather risky... Risky and destructive enough, I will probably not bother. How likely do you think a decent/proper unlock method will be found before the end of the year? I really dislike the stock UI and limited theming options/etc, came from PACMan on my previous phone and this is rather disappointing for a phone with such solid hardware.
Its looking pretty unlikely and I think I might just sell this phone and go back to Samsung where they tell the carrier where to shove it when they ask for a locked bootloader. Shame on LG for complying with this... Sure, they aren't Apple or Samsung but I think they could have pulled it off. At the very least they could have snuck some hidden method like HTC with the wire trick for S-OFF into the US version.

I don't think he was ripping anyone saying he's "owed anything". Just exhibiting frustration on a locked bootloader. I too had hoped Sammy would not have gone this route, and more development would continue. Those of us on VZW should come to expect this now, as they are nazis with the bootloader. Bootloader unlock is not a selling point for me, but it does make it more fun.

Unlocking bootloaders is not easy, and going around collecting money isn't going to help achieve that.
