My Note 3 was pushed the Lollipop upgrade. I avoided clicking OK to give permission but after a week it upgraded by itself (interesting...?)
This is bad news for me as I need international sim unlock - which I got via SUU app on kitkat - but now that doesn't work
Also GPS accuracy has suffered and my widget for turning 'Mobile Data' on/off don't work...now it's a 4 tap process (a reaaaaal pain in the neck)
I can put of with the GPS and 'Mobile Data' widget issue (for now), but I REALLY (!) need international sim unlock (sprint refuses to unlock it!) and SUU app is not working on Lollipop.
It seems a root is my best option(I've never rooted), as well as making sure modems go back to a previous version also (not sure which version). What's my simplest course of action to minimize risk of bricking and do a simple 'one touch' root that will allow me to unlock international sim use (domestic US unlock would be nice also! )
Any help is appreciated or a link to specific thread. (Travelling internationally very soon so need to WORK IT OUT ASAP)
If it was unlocked before, your good to go. Oden the m4j modem and do the rest and the apns. Worked for me.
The GT app will be updated for lollipop so the international unlock will work, says the Dev.
but with lollipop i got an error msg when i used SUU. i assumed it didnt work and theres no safe way to know until youre overseas.
And what did you mean with Oden mj4, and do the rest and the apns? 3 different steps...can you please elaborate. Thx.
And the GT app ?
So it worked for you. And what about domestic sim unlock ?
Thx again, Sammy

I ran the ssu app before lollipop and it " Sticks !" I've odened back to KK to take the Ota lollipop, I've used oden to install lollipop, and have flashed CM 12 none of that undid the unlock.
I am in the US on TMoble network with a ting.com sim and the MJ4 radio with the right apns every thing working great. The rest of the steps are the settings in the HiddenMenu.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593305
Easy to do just follow the steps.
The GT app is another program that did/will do the international unlock and a whole lot more. Dev says he's updating it for lollipop.
Thanks for all this.
Does me having a SPRINT note 3 make a difference (as opposed to your t-mobile)
And where did you get the sotck, KK, lolliops and the CM12 roms - here on XDA or elswhere ?
is the MJ4 the same for sprint as it is for t-mobile.
I assume you did the domestic unlock and all works well ?
Thanks again

you can't.
Currently, the only way to SIM unlock the Sprint Galaxy Note 3 for use on GSM networks outside of the US is for Sprint to unlock it via OTA. And for them to that, the phone must be in an active Sprint account.
Unlike the Sprint Galaxy S4, there's a method to SIM unlock the Sprint S4 without Sprint having to do it for you. Unfortunately, this method has been tried and tested on the Sprint Note 3 and it didn't work.
Putting a different ROM on the Sprint Note 3 won't help...and totally unnecessary for use in other countries. You're at the mercy of Sprint to get it SIM unlocked.
Can not change Chip flash for this ????
What's a chip flash? See my note above yours.
Hi guys, I have an old S4 that I would like to SIM unlock. The phone is not on my contract so I cannot call up verizon and ask them for the SIM unlock code. I have been doing some reading and if I can get into the service mode or service menu there appears to be a setting to do this.
My ultimate goal is to use this abroad later this year with prepaid SIM cards in different countries.
From my reading, the service codes were blocked by Samsung/Verizon at some point. My questions is what version of Android and what modem allowed service menu access? I have tried KK and L with the MK2 and MDK modems but no go.
*Edit*
I should mention that I have tried the hidden menu enable MOD:

But, again I think this is dependent on the ROM/Modem version, no?

Looks like the SIM lock state survives a modem flash - I tried flashing NK1 and then back to MDK and it persisted. I did this because now I'm having an issue where my unlocked phone only gets data and cannot make phone calls. Says voice is out of service but data is in service. But SIM in another phone works just fine.
Tried a few things but no go. I'm about to leave the country today so I guess I'll find out when I get abroad and try a GSM SIM, unless anyone has any comments on this.
Thanks, Matt.

I'm not sure I understand. You are no longer on Sprint? If you've transferred to another carrier, you still need to use ROMs built for the LS990 as that is still the device you have.

You can set your preferred connection in phone settings, under mobile networks. So any ROM built for LS990 should work.
I have a LS990 on ZV4, official firmware but rooted and unlocked. I am not in the U.S and I'd like to upgrade the phone to official 5.0.1 firmware on ZV8 and still be able to use this SIM. Could you please point me to the right direction on how to proceed? By the way, I'm also getting 'restricted access changed' notification and signal fluctuation using the SIM I'm currently using. Oddly, using other carrier SIMs I don't see that notification. Anyways, suggestions please?

Are you sim unlocked? It's my understanding (maybe incorrect) that the Sprint version can be used on gsm outside the US, but you'll need to unlock it with the msc code. I got my msc from Sprint via a help chat online, but you can also get it by signing up for ringplus - they give it to you as part of the sign up process.
I've never had a non us sim to test - did you get a prompt to enter the code when you put in the Canadian sim? I don't know how to force the msc prompt.

Oh, gotcha - a SIM that works fine on Stock ROM doesn't work on CM13. I hope someone else can point you in the right direction - I don't know, as I pretty quickly gave up on my Sprint model (left it to languish as an emergency CDMA phone on ringplus free plan) and picked up the USCellular version to use routinely, as the $40 it cost was way cheaper than my time and frustration with trying to get the Sprint model working on ATT.

Has anyone been able to get WiFi calling or VOLTE to work on the U firmware? I haven't been on it in a while.
Edit: not sure why i quoted you for this question. Lol sorry.
I have been trying to get it working as well. I wish that att would support wifi calling like T-Mobile does I only get 1-2 bars and sometimes no signal when I'm at a certain spot in my workplace and when I had the original att software on my phone I loved wifi calling, I don't particularly miss VOLTE though
Thank you so much for doing this. I was using the wrong Odin to flash.
Quick question on this. Now that I am running the U firmware, will I get OTA updates? I'm using a Cricket sim card.
I hated the AT&T firmware so much. I'm so much happier with this.

Need to flash T-Mobile firmware in order for at least wifi calling to work.
after flashing this firmware.. I noticed a huge gain in performance.
and mobile hotspot works, I run cricket unlimited, and will come in handy.
I like the clean appearance and the smooth responsiveness, I used the AT&T firmware and I used PDP to disable a ****load of bloat, but nothing like this smooth.
not to mention I'm getting updates, which I'm more happy about.
this is really nice to have.

Please help me understand
I see some forums on this site that says, " G930UUEU2APEH flashes to g930a" then you have this post that says G930U firmware on SM-G930A. It seems as if one is saying to take the G930U and go to G930A and the other saying G930A and go to G930U. I thought the advantage is to go to the U and get off the A. Please confirm if this is the case. Granted then if this is the case... then, what are the advantages of going to the U? From what I understand it gets rid of the bloatware, and makes it so you can tether?
Also once I go, are there any negative reasons for me not to go from A to U?
Does this give me the current version of Nougat?
Do I get the upgrades from AT&T to keep up with future version of Nougat?
Also before proceeding to the U version MUST I first ROOT my phone?
Also MUST my phone be UNLOCKED?
Thanks in advance,

Yes to both

None, unless you like the ATT bloat.

Gives you the latest version of the U firmware
Do I get the upgrades from AT&T to keep up with future version of Nougat?
No, you will get the U OTAs from now on.
Also before proceeding to the U version MUST I first ROOT my phone?
Root is not required
Also MUST my phone be UNLOCKED?
Not required
