Please, would a moderator help me to post my help request in the right forum?
My factory unlocked Samsung Note 3 N9005, with KK 4.4.2 Polish fw, rooted, will not operate in LTE data even though it has the right frequencies/bands hardware. I have the right APN.
I need to access LTE Bands 1, 3, 8 and 20 (Vodafone Italy and Softbank Japan).
Do I need a new radio? A new modem? Do I only need to flash a specific firmware...? Which one? Where can I download it? How do I install it? It's it sufficient to flash another CSC?
Please help me to post this question in the right section! Thanks!

Hello, I recently bought a Samsung S2 Galaxy (LTE skyrocket - AT & T) of California, however, I live in Brazil and the phone came locked only for AT & T.
Here in Brazil we have a law requiring phone companies like AT & T Rogeres, etc.. Here they are Live, Tim, of course, Hi, just that they do not unlock phones abroad. I tried to contact AT & T however only support residents in the U.S., Brazilian contacted samsung and I answered that are not responsible for the distribution of this model (LTE) and that could not support.
I tried to unlock it through the cellunlocker, but I had no success in negotiation.
Researched and tested and there is no functional application for the release version LTE.
So I come to you guys asking for God's sake, who could unlock the LTE free. and if possible as it did, through that program, what a miracle it did, very grateful.

I ready, but i dont believe

I read, but do not think it's about the frequency, the real situation is to unlock the sim lock, and even with those mods, I believe that the cel is already unlocked them

Dear c0ldm1nd,
I'm also brazilian, bougth a I727r (Rogers) at Miami and besides the phone is unlocked I'm not getting 3G 3G+ connection... only EDGE I'd like to know if you're able to get 3G 3G+ connection and how come was that possible.... any special procedure?
I have seen these threads about sim unlocking, goto phone press *#0011# etc...
but mine doesnt work, so doing some research it seems i need to downgrade the modem do this unlock and then upgrade the modem.
Now as i only got my S4 yesterday i dont fancy bricking it, ( converted from iphone jalibreaking )
IS there is guide on doing this whole process including the downgrade and upgrade?
Im on o2 UK with S4, i can provide further details if it would help.
Thanks in advance
If u are on the mf3 update from att there is no way to downgrade to the previous version I dont know on the other versions from Verizon or sprint

Hi, I would like to buy an unlocked (carrier/region) Note Edge. Can some one suggest the variant I should buy that will work with AT&T 4g/LTE bands in USA.
SM-N915F
SM-N915G
SM-N915T
Etc?
I don't think that is possible, as each countries have different band. That's why most international/factory unlocked phones don't have 4g/Lte capability. 3g and some lte is the most you are going to get with an international SM-N915F
Best bet would be to buy out an Att phone, and request them to unlock it so you have the 4g/Lte in the states.
I believe its a 30day period or so when the account is open before they give you the code. I know t-mobile policy is 3-4 weeks.

go with the 915T (tmobile)
tmobile edge is the only one that has an unlocked bootloader (you can flash any rom, etc that is made for the EDGE)
the ATT, Verison, Sprint, etc are bootloader locked, and you cant unlock them as far as i know
Tmobile one, once its unlocked, thats it,, a world of possibilities in your hands.
Thanks. But why not SM-N915F the european or SM-N915G Asian version? are you saying those are also boot loader locked?

I am an att customer currently in Kuwait and I purchased the 915F because the LTE does crossover to them. I looked at the LTE bands and 2 out of 3 of them are the same. You just need to ensure you put the correct apn in.
I hope this helps.
The Note edge 915G will work with ATT LTE/4G
I have that model on Tmobile 4G LTE and it works fine. Since the update they took out the Lte icon and replaced it with 4G. But when you check the status menu it says LTE connection Type.
Is there a root for the Verizon note edge? If there isnt ...could I use a different model number with Verizon,and if so which one could I use. I would like to be able to root and bootloader unlock. Thanks

The only root for Verizon Note Edge is with the developer edition. And no you can not use any other Note Edge variant on Verizon.

Question - I have an unlocked SM-N915T that I'm going to use with AT&T. To get Lollipop should I use Samung Kies or will it OTA ?

To get the AT&T lollipop update on a tmobile phone you will need to use Kies or Odin 3 to flash it as it won't recognize the tmobile Sim when attempting to look up AT&T servers for the update.

I have the Rogers SM-N915W8 that works perfectly on AT&T LTE.
I rooted and unlocked my Sprint Note 3 so I could use it with T-Mobile. To unlock the phone I had to flash N900PVPUBMI3 modem using the steps found here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593305
I am travelling through Europe and I have very unstable data, and I think it is because of the modem. I am running AICP 5.1.1 lollipop ROM, and I want to know what modem I should flash. I believe the modem file needs to be paired to the service provider, not the phone model, but I am not sure.
Any help determining what modem I should flash will be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
