If ur IMEI and baseband is ok then it means ur phone is locked.

Hello
May possible your phone is cloned samsung phone with MTK cpu ?
to make sure you can use this way
power off phone remove battery
insert battery
press volume up
insert cable if its detect as mtk preloader or mtk modem then its for sure cloned samsung handset.
check at this section. http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f781/

also i like to add if its original note 3 you can not just change imei that's easily, you need special tool, better for you to contact any nearest repair shop.

camane007 · 02-25-2014, 00:23

Well i resolved the problem but i got another one , Please tell me how to resolve that ? When I make a phonecall I get a pop-up saying:

Roaming Warning
" The sim card that you are about to use is now roaming. No local SIM is available now. Would you like to continue? "

Is there someone who has solved this problem ?

Thanks in advance for all help i can get.
