Has anyone tried using the same loophole from earlier Samsung devices to SIM unlock their Note 3?

It doesn't work for me.

It doesn't work I tried it the first day I got the phone,they changed the menus on the note 3.I dialed the number and the menus are different.They must have seen people using the special menu and patched it on the note 3 with a different menu

#*197328640# works but no access to Phone Control menu.

[Q] Galaxy Note Sim Unlock

Hey Guys,
I bought a Galaxy Note here in Mexico, actually 2, one for me one for my GF...
The only company that brought it here was Telcel, but in 6 months i finish my contract and want to move to a different (Faster) Company...
Im new at android, so i was told i could sim unlock my android easy.. well i have been searching lots of forums, and havent found an answer yet,
I even dare to pay to get an unlock code at http://www.cellunlocker.net which i do NOT recommend i havent got answer for my problem yet, anyway here is my problem, i got the code, so its easy i just have to input the code on my phone, the problem is that i dont know how to input the code.
This is what i have tried so far...
1.- Put a sim of a Network locked on my phone... i was supposed to get a screen saying insert Network Lock code or something like that, instead all i got the first 3 times was Network Locked... that's it no option to input the code, right now i dont even get that screen it only shows the icon that means network locked...
2.- I search in the forums, and found sever ussd Codes in this tread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20750699&postcount=72
So ok i tried #7465625*638*Code# / #7465625*638*# / and according to the instructions i got from the cellunlocker page i tried #0111*Code#, all of them returns the same thing "Connection Problem or invalid MMI Code"
I have tried other ussd codes and for example *#06# for the imei and *#7465625# which gave me the current status do work, also another one to see the Mac of the bluetooth, so i stuck here....
Any ideas?? thanks!!!
im going to answer your question, you can try to use an online tool to try to unlock your note, THE BIG PROBLEM is that you wont be able to use in any other company because telcel has locked the firmware, the only thing you can do is change your firmware and you will able to use with other provider
So.. When ics is out i can update and then unlock.. Cause there are no firmware updates right now

Just wanted to sat that i flashed a custom ROM... Then when using a different sim it gave me the option to unlock so now im unlocked and well that website i used for getting the unlock code was for real
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Could you please post the website? I need to unlock a well to use with iusacell
It is very easy
I am on the original unchanged ICS Touch Wizz 4.0.3 rom
using google play on your phone search for GalaxSim Unlock .... it worked perfectly for me
I think you have to have your phone rooted though...only minor prerequisite needed..

Sorry for the late reply as I too was looking for this info and stumbled upon you post. The Note 3 doesn't seem to have the same options as the Galaxy S3 or Note 2. You can access it through *#197328640#. But there is no option for "network lock" as described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176721
I'm not sure about unlocking option in the service menu. You can, however, unlock the note 3 by rooting and then running chainfire's regionlock away.

Verizon alert keeps popping up

My phone is constantly being interrupted by this annoying popup: (I can't post links being a new user, but the image is at imgur FN7uUhL )
"Alert
Sorry, we're having trouble connecting. Make sure you have a good signal and try again. If you still can't connect, call us at 800-922-0204.
Error code 1001"
It doesn't say what app it is, but I suspect it's from Verizon because the phone number is theirs.
My phone is unlocked and I use it on Personal in Argentina. I've used this phone for years and this only started happening last Thursday out of nowhere. No new apps, no system upgrade.
Rebooting the phone doesn't help either, and I wouldn't want to factory reset if it can be avoided. Any ideas what this might be?
Thanks!
same, just today noticed this on an older LG G4
Alert Message - Same thing here...
Same thing here have had Moto E4 Plus on Metro PCS for the last few years and just started receiving this message in the last week. The phone was a Verizon phone that I unlocked and has been working great on Metro...until now. What's going on?

Same here on my note 4, using T-mo prepaid. Just started a week ago. Also the verizon splash screen still displays on power up. My understanding is the V boot loader is locked.

SOLVED I had the same problem as well but I found a way to get rid of it, you gotta disable the My Verizon app and then 1 settings then mobile networks then network mode and set the global off to LTE/GSM/UMTS and then it will not pop up anymore, your welcome.
by Myles Tecomba
Good news, I found the locations since I don't have "my verizon apps" Bad news, the fix does NOT work at all.
Solved
I actually got online with Motorola because I knew that the app causing this nightmare was Verizon Login . The problem is that I debloated all my Verizon and the problem still occurred. But then by going through Settings | Apps | ... |Show System, I say the bugger was still there. I disabled it and the problem was solved. Of course this worked for me because I'm on an unblocked phone and note using Verizon.
My husbands Samsung Galaxy S7 has been doing this for over a month. He tried disabling anything Verizon related and even a factory reset and it's still doing it.

Yes, I did same with my note 4, still there. IGNORE those solved posts, this problem is NOT solved. I use T-mobile prepaid with this phone and since verizon locks the boot loader, there is not yet a rooting solution for this phone and since it's a note 4 there will not be one forthcoming.
fixed it permanently
SOLVED: I have two Verizon phones that I now use on T-Mobile and this has worked for both.
Settings->Apps & Notifications->App Info (options may be slightly renamed on different versions of Android, may be Applications instead, just get to the big list of applications in the Settings app)
then hit the triple dot/menu thing to give extra options and choose Show System
Scroll down and choose Verizon Login and disable it and force stop it.
Message will be gone forever. I've rebooted both phones several times and the message has never come up again.
In addition, disable permissions of My Verizon: SMS, phone and GPS location, your welcome

So I have an old Verizon tablet that is running android 5.1.1. I don't have options for "show system" or "Verizon login" that I can find. Anybody familiar with this 5.1.1 that knows where it would be or if I'm overlooking. Thanks.
Awesome! I'm using an unlocked Verizon LG G5 in Canada and I've been trying for quite some time to get rid of this problem. I've tried all the suggested fixes I could find on the net and this is the solution! Thanks so much buddy. Much appreciated eh!
This problem started recently for me on Samsung S6 unlocked Verizon phone that I use with foreign SIM cards when traveling. I tried restoring settings to default, but that didn't work. Then I tried resetting network settings and that appears to have worked. it was popping up every couple minutes and so far it has not.

I had the same problem on my unlocked S6 Edge and knew that the Verizon Login app was the issue but the damn phone wouldn't let me disable it; grayed out. I bought an app in the Play Store named "Package Disabler Pro (Samsung)" for $2.99. The thing will let you disable ANY software whether built in or not. So once you launch, disable Verizon Login with it and the problem is gone. If you disable "Setup Wizard", you also won't get the stupid message about the SIM not being VZW card when you boot. I disabled all the other Verizon software too. Problem was so aggravating that I got an account here just to share the answer since I figure it has to be driving people CRAZY!!!!

Help!!!
Still having this issue, I’ve disabled all those apps, force stopped them, and it continues to haunt the phone. I’ve called Verizon and they don’t know anything about it, and I’m really about to throw the phone away and buy a new one. It’s an s7 so it’s still a decent phone, but I don’t know what else to do
So Close, but Disable is Disabled

This definitely got me closer. Using this method I was able to revoke permissions which forces VZ SpyLogin to fail so it isn't running, BUT, the "Disable" button is disabled, even if I force stop the app. It's most certainly this application causing the issue. Thanks for the closest solution.
**EXTRA info
This wasn't happening at all on my phone ever, and this is an old one (I need the IR blaster in the Samsung G6). It's an unlocked Verizon branded phone running on ATT network. I factory reset it yesterday and now I am getting this annoying Verizon Login nonsense.
