Hi
I have an note 3 (n900w8) sim locked by a local carrier. I've contact them but they won't provide sim unlock code to use the phone with another carrier.
I've googled and tried stuff for the last 48hs; this is what I've accomplished thus far:
- most websites I've found offers sim unlock codes for some money. I don't want to pay; I don't understand why there are plenty free kernels and roms around there, that looks a lot more work than a unlock code or an unlock calculator, and one have to pay for a sim code. What am I missing?
- well, with the phone, I've read about RegionLock Away, so I've rooted my phone (the first method I've found; I did not know about knox and now the warranty is void, I think that's not important), anyway, the phone was rooted, I applied it twice, but it didn't work.
- I've tried 2 other firmwares from sammobile. It didn't work. I don't know if I got bad luck or firmware changing does nothing to do with sim loock.
- I also installed cyanogenmod. just in case. simlock still there.
- I've tried this. MMI code is not recognized.
Well, I appreciate any help poiting me in the right direction. I don't know what should I search for or what should I flash.
Thank you very much!
