Get ahold of iDone's GTv3.1.5.apk & GTUpdate2_v3.1.8.apk Install them and do the update but dont press unlock yet

Step 3 :
Downgrade the modem back M13 or Mj4 (i will double check but i have the link for the one i used )

I think it was m13 plus my phone says it sooo lol

Step 4 :
After downgrading the modem back to m13 you can now go to idone gt app and press (SIM UICC Unlock) after that restart the phone (now the phone is internationally unlock)

Step 5 :
Final in the unlocking process for it work in the united states aka domestic
Goto the phone app and dial *#0011# the menu should open up press menu and back then menu key input "Q" press ok then press menu key input again "0000" press ok and wait for the menu to open
UE Setting & Info >Setting >Protocol >GCF >GSM/(E)GPRS/WCDMA GCF ON

What is the "Enter decryption key" that we need for Step 3?

IT WORKS!!!
I was getting 3G and H+ on my N900P and I couldn't have been more happy. Alright, so I've uploaded a zip file with everything you need.
Here's the link to the zip file on my Google Drive: http://bit.ly/1oZDO9t

Edit: The modem is version MI3 (That's emm eye three). Also, after you apply the GCF settings and reboot, you need to change your mobile networks settings from CDMA/LTE to GSM/UMTS for the new SIM card to be recognized. Enjoy!

I tried to download the zip file from the link provided and received a binary file.

What do you mean you received a binary file? What was the extension on the file you got? It should be a .zip file. If it's not, you'll have to redownload it.

Download in browser, got that trying to download with Google drive.

It should look like this in your browser. Make sure you click the download button on the top. If it comes out as anything but .zip, then try a different browser.

MI3 Modem needed

I went through the process but when I click the sim UICC unlock a new notification pops up asking, network unlock asking for control key

I had same problem at first, I didn't go back to modem MI3 from OK2, after it worked perfectly.

 

[Daniel Owusu]

it didn't work

My sprint note 3 uicc now shows that the phone is unlocked but there is a red X on the network signal bar. How can I get rid of this to make my phone work? Please help

 

[Daniel Owusu]

My network is blocked and IMEI certi shows failed

I have been able to unlock the phone but when I checked on the service mode, I realized the network is blocked and the IMEI certi shows failed.
This has caused the network signal bar to show a red X. Though unlocked, there is no signal showing. Any help please
