Unlock / UMTS Menu hidden

[foulpwns]

Hey guys,

I have a Note 3 N900T with T-Mobile...

I can get to the service mode and all, but the UMTS menu isn't there.. Is there a way to enable that "hidden option"

Trying to unlock it.

The available menus are determined by the modem. On my S4, when I upgraded the phone to 4.3, it required a 4.3-compatible modem, which didn't have the menu you're talking about. So pretty much it's "gone" as far as I know.

Oh wait, hold up. I know what you're talking about

Two answers:

The mode preference menu: *#2263#

The information menu: *#197328640#

Both of these also work on the S4 (I know because I still have mine that I'm about to sell). I can't figure out how to get to the old "band/frequency preference" menu though.

I actually saved these in my phone as contacts so I can launch them whenever I want. Hope that's what you were looking for.

Yeah sadly.. I know about those but the *#197328640# Just brings up debug menu in the servicemode. no umts/lte and etc.. just..

2 NAS info
3 AS info
4 Sim INfo
5 CDMA debug info

I know what you're talking about, the menu from 4.2.2. They either changed the dialer code or removed it from the modem. What are you trying to do? Force a specific frequency, or do the free unlock method?

The free unlock method; lol.


(Btw, thank you for trying to help me!)

No problem! Unfortunately, that method won't work since the Note 3 shipped with 4.3 I believe. BUT I can get you close to free:

This app (requires root) will remove the region lock and also unlock the phone. Totally worth it IMO.

Hi,
I had the same problem but I was able to go to UMTS menu by following this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2734094
see if it works for you. However, I was not able to unlock it. Nevertheless, this is one step closer to unlocking this way.
