Unlock/Root Samsung Note 3 (SM-N900A)

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I used to have AT&T as a carrier for the phone, now I do not have a carrier. I want to unlock my phone and preferably not pay for it I tried the method outlined at android and me and several other site, ( it involves using the number *#197328640#)
I was unable to use this method because I could not find a UMTS menu.
The only other way I found to unlock the phone was to root it. I wanted to use Odin and CF Auto Root to do but I could not find a version for my device, (Samsung-SM-N900A).
Do you guys have any suggestions for me?

Im in the same place need to Root At&t galaxy note 3 5.0 N900a where can I find the files

You can only network unlock the phone with a code.

As far as I know, all of the note series is carrier unlocked. if it's not, you have to call your respective carrier and ask them to unlock it. Rooting your phone is another story. I just got off live chat with Samsung and they can't remove the bootloader lock on my OC2 N900a. This will prevent me from buying any other samsung product in the future, not even considering the note 7 b.s.

The n900a is an at&t phone and pretty much every at&t phone is carrier and bootloader locked. Same goes for sprint and Verizon.
Didn't realize oc2 also had the n900a as I thought the U.K. And Europe had the n9005.
Most of the note phones sold by a carrier are network locked.

[Ask] Is There any way to Root Note 8 Docomo?

Hello,
I am a user of Samsung Note 8 Docomo, which is unlocked. but the qualcomm secure download cannot be disabled so that until now I can't rooting.

Question Bootloader Unlock & Rooting help please.

I just got my phone, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G SM-998U How do I Unlock the bootloader, root & install Msgisk, and customize my kernel? I have the Snapdragon version if that helps any.
- Thanks.

[Magisk][US/CAN BL Unlock] Root for Galaxy S21 Series (B/N/0/U/U1/W)
Note: this guide copied from topjohnwu's. Original guide here US/Canada bootloader unlock thread: here Before Installing Magisk Installing Magisk WILL trip KNOX Unlocking bootloader for the first time will do a data wipe. Installation If you...

There is a search function. Make sure you understand what tripping Knox does as you cannot undo it. And remember Magisk Hide has been discontinued by the dev so most apps will be able to detect the phone is rooted again.

Why didn't you research this before you aquired your device? It's not likely your phone is eligible as unlocking the BL requires you haven't updated it. Additionally you'll trip knox and lose a number of features, to include ongoing updates. If you wanted a device you could root and desired a Snapdragon variant those are available without paying for that service. So based on all the features you'll forfeit what advantages outweigh this? Those should be substantial to justify all the down sides you'll incur.

Thank you for your reply. What phone would you suggest is best for customizing and closing roms?l

OnePlus seems to be the concensus choice.

If you want an S21 the Global Exynos variant has an Unlocked BL plus the best selection for Custom ROM's. The SM-G9980 Snapdragon variant has an Unlocked BL as well. If you chose the S21 all the issues I mentioned are still in play, the only difference is you don't have to pay to unlock it.

Accidently did Factory Reset - Need to root S20 FE to recover?

Hello All, I accidentally did a factory reset (long story) on my Samsung S20 FE 5G phone. Its the version that has no OEM Unlock. I see some people offer to unlock Bootloader for a "donation" . Do you think it would allow me to recover some of my pictures/texts. Would this allow me to root phone. Any Help would be appreciated. Thanks
My Model is SM-G781U1/DS
SOFTWARE NUMBER G781U1UES6EVA4
KNOX 3.8
ONE UI version 4.0

Probably not especially if it has forced encryption (Android 11 and up). The encryption key was lost with the reset as soon as it booted.
You probably just cause more trouble and get no satisfaction... sorry.

to my knowledge getting OEM unlock isn't possible anymore via paid methods.
if it was possible you still wouldn't of stood any chance of recovering any info as unlocking and rooting require additional wipes.

Have you found any way to restore the data?

Unlocking my Note 8 by flashing Hades ROM or Reflashing Openline Firmware

My note 8 is locked to csc GLB and I can't use any other sim, is it possible to unlocked my Note 8 by flashing Hades ROM or Reflashing Openline Firmware? Thanks <3

Call Globe, it's not illegal. You may have to go in person to one of their stores.
Eventually someone will provide you with instructions on how to reboot your phone, input a code, adn your phone becomes openline.
I've got a smart sim now and I'm free to use it on either sim slot with data enabled.
