Hello, and welcome to XDA!
From what I can tell, it has been a cat and mouse game for a few years now. An XDA member releases an unlock method, Verizon blocks the exploit and bricks the previously unlocked devices.
I cannot really tell where things have left off now, even with this thread which summarizes the exploits and is the hub for unlocking questions:
> Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II > Verizon Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Questions about Unlocking or Recovering from a Soft Brick? LOOK HERE BEFORE POSTING!!
...at any rate, my suggestion is to scan that thread (read the first post and some of the latest to get a feel of the situation), and then if needed (if you question remains unanswered), register for an XDA account and ask there.
Sorry that the response isn't cut and dried, but I hope it helps, and I wish you good luck.

I have had problems with rooting the G900A.
The first time I used towelroot, it worked but I accidently accepted an OTA which broke root. Now towelroot doesn't work.

You can read about this "issue" here: Samsung Galaxy S 5 > Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Update breaks towelroot on G900F.
Main thing is that you may have to "downgrade" and root again with TowelRoot.
If you have further questions, please ask in the AT&T Galaxy S5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Or better in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5 > AT&T Galaxy S5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [INDEX][FAQ][Q&A][ALL-IN-ONE][ATT][SM-G900A][Jul.01.2014] thread.
EDIT:
Found this method to root with KNOX 0x0 on newer firmware: Samsung Galaxy S 5 > Galaxy S 5 General > [How to] Root without triggering KNOX? 2nd Method, works for Fimware ANG2 and above ... but it's originally for different variants of the S5. Maybe it works for your device too ... but haven't found a positive report so far.
So I assume that the locked bootloader will prevent this method from working on your device.
Better ask in the SM-G900A help thread I linked above to get a confirmation before flashing anything.
Thread closed and thank you!

First root info for your device is here: AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 > Root Info.
You should check the [INDEX] AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 All-In-One Resource Thread! ... in first post you will find a link to TowelRoot.
This will work on older firmware versions only. So you may have to "downgrade" if possible.
Check this thread about it: [How-To] Update to N900A_NL1 - 4.4.4 and Keep Root (12-24-2014)

Is there a way to network/Sim unlock the Samsung galaxy tab 4 8.0 on 4.4.2 kit Kat at&t. I was just curious because at&t claims to have never had my device in their records so I can't request and unlock code and I need to use it on on other carrier. Also I AM ROOTED

Hello,
I brought Galaxy S4 E330 to U.S., which is the one I was using back in Korea. Can I unlock this phone? I heard I can unlock it by rooting it, but could somebody tell me how? I found the pre-rooted ROM. I know it might sound like a pretty dumb question, so if you direct me to a right thread, I will figure out myself. Thanks for your help!

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Depends. Are we talking about SIM unlocking, of bootloader unlocking? Both may have been achieved already, but I think you are talking about the latter (if the former, then earlier Samsungs had the unlock code stored in nvram - don't know about later models).
In either case, best to ask here:

Hope this helps, and good luck!
