It's been awhile since I was on the forum but thought I would create a quick post for those who wish to enable LTE on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (model: SM-N900W8) where LTE has been crippled. I have compiled the following steps and this should get you up and running without having to ROOT your device, install RECOVERY software or FLASH a new modem.
1) Obtain the device IMEI by pressing *#06# on your dial pad and record this number to reference later.
2) Type in *#272*[IMEI Number]# Where [IMEI Number] is the number you recorded in the step above.
3) You will be prompted with a 3 letter "Regional Settings" menu. Cross reference the 3 letter code with the carrier list at the following link: http://www.samsungis.com/Firmwares/SM-N900W8.html. You do so by hovering over the 3 letter code under the "Region" column. If the SIM you wish to use is from one of these carriers and the carrier supports LTE, we're on our way! The above steps are confirmation, do not modify anything yet!
4) Unlock your device using a preferred unlocking method. Myself, I use http://www.cellunlocker.net which charges $32.99 US for a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 unlock code. It's a reliable site with quick turn-around.
5) Once you receive your unlock code, put in the SIM from the carrier you wish to use and enter the unlock code when prompted.
6) Once unlocked, it may reboot and when at the main menu, follow step 2 and 3 above but this time, select your 3 letter carrier code for the carrier SIM you just inserted then click on OK or INSTALL.
The device will go through a boot up sequence but once complete, you will have LTE enabled. If you do not see this, go into your network settings and you should have the option to select GSM/WCDMA/LTE (auto connect).
Hope this helps those of you wishing to enable the crippled LTE band but do not wish to delve into all the technical jargon related to ROOTING, RECOVERY and FLASHING.
Thanks for this.
Thanks
Thank you for sharing this wonderful trick. I was looking for something like this for a long time.
Please be noted that the secret code *#272*[IMEI Number]# does not exist in many recent models.
You can use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' to check if this code does exist.
THIS WILL ERASE YOUR PHONE...
But it works...
Hello everyone,
I have a Samsung SGH- T839 Sidekick, Android 2.2 Froyo OS stuck on T -Mobile USA, I am trying to unlock. I followed the instructions in this forum: " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110263 " .
I think I have managed to unlock since I managed to get the unlocking code in question and to inform . Besides, the message " Network Unlock Successful" appeared on my screen, more and inserting the code " * # 7465625 # ( View Phone Lock Status) " , the " Network Lock" is off.
My problem is that my phone still does not recognize my SIM card ( that of a Méditel Moroccan operator ) and by going to: Settings- > Wireless and network- > Mobile Network , I still have a window under the name "Insert SIM CARD " with the following message : "Insert SIM card to access network services ." Knowing that at any moment I was prompted to enter my PIN.
What to do? Could you help me please ?
Thanking you in advance,
Samsung Sidekick SGH-T839 Unlocking problem
Any suggestions please?
You might be able to request a SIM unlock code from T-Mobile; see http://www.t-mobile.com/Company/CompanyInfo.aspx?tp=Abt_Tab_CompanySimUnlockPolicy. Or maybe try one of the many SIM unlock services available on the Internet; just be careful, because some of them are scams.
I don't understand
Hello,
I don't understant why I should find a new code if, like I said, The Network Lock Status is off?
( " * # 7465625 # ( View Phone Lock Status) " , the " Network Lock" is off. )
Found these codes and tested working on my Note 3 N9005 :
*#06# -- To check IMEI No.
*#9090# -- Diagnostic Configuration
*#1234# -- to check software version of phone.
*#272*IMEI# -- Reset User data + Change Sales Code
*#12580*369# -- to check software and hardware information.
*#0228# -- Battery status (ADC, RSSI reading)
*2767*3855# -- Full factory reset (Don’t dial it does not ask you to confirm unless you have problem)
*#0*# -- This Code shows Screen Test Menu (LCD Test Menu) Hidden Menu
*#7353# -- Self Test Mode (2nd Hidden Menu)
thanks to vndnguyen for the following:
*#34971539# Camera firmware check/update
*#2263# Service Mode - Baseband selection
*#9900# SysDump
*#0011# Service Mode - Radio parameters
*#0808# USB Settings
*#2222# Service Mode - FTA HW Version
*#1111# Service Mode - FTA SW Version
If you have any other code that works, please post it and I will add it here.
Thanks
Good job! Thanks

I knew most of them but didn't know about the *#7353# 2nd hidden menu. Thanks for the list. If I find any, I'll let you know .
*12580*369# doesn't work for me.
Edit. Miss the #. Lol.

The 2222 code doesn't work on my 900T. The rest do, though.

Thanks for the update. Here is some suggestions:
- The code for Battery Status is *#0228#, not *#228#.
- These codes may not work on all devices. For example, on my N9005 XME, the *#272*<IMEI># (change CSC code) does not work. In this case, users can use the 'CSC Changer...' tool in my 'Phone INFO ★Samsung★' app instead (menu --> select 'CSC Changer...').
- You can sort the codes in the list so that they can be easy to find.
Thanks.

thanks, the battery status code is written as *#0228# (edit: I see what you mean, double entry and wrong) ... I will sort the list when it gets longer... I am using your Phone INFO app, it's excellent and full of info, it even knows what color my phone is LOL
*#2263# Service Mode - Baseband selection
Doesn't work on mine either ... odd.
It's one I've been looking for as this was shown elsewhere on the net as *#*#4636#*#*
It allows you to disable / select what type of phone connection you want.
.... but @vndnguyen - I note that your 'missing shortcuts' app does get me there, so thanks for that.

That's interesting because that code doesn't work from the dialer .. I wonder why. I did see someone do it on a note 3 in a youtube video but I assumed it might have been the 9000 rather 9005. Mine shouldn't be blocked as it's a sim free phone not tied to any network.

Yes that code doesn't work because Samsung did block it, but the function is still there.
My app just provides a shortcut to this function.

Is there any secret code that detect or calculate number of unautorized spy phone software connections? Thanks!
Hi,
You can get all available secret codes in your device by using Shortcut Master app --> 'Secret Code Explorer' menu.
