[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] enelyam:
Problem is, like i said i made the huge mistake of trying to unlock using voodoos before i did with your app. And i was on ClaroPR firmware. So if you want to i can send the efs but is just the one altered after Voodoo. Anyways ill send it to you so you can take a look. Thanks to guys like you who make our lives more simple as always.

And yes, as far as im concern, as far as you flash the phone with an unbranded firmware before trying to unlock it should be good to go. But if you try to unlock with the stock branded and hard lock firmware more than likely when you flash the unbranded the phone will show network locked, insert code message. If you unlock and try to reboot with a foreign sim card using the stock(hard locked) firmware when you reboot the phone it will have an icon showing a lock but it wont even ask you for codes. At least on ClaroPR phones it works like that, ive seen that on i9000, i9100, 5670L, i9300, well, every single Galaxy they sell.

Edit: Sent a donation, so you can buy a beer at least. PM me if it went ok, Since it was a weird language that one(paypals) lol... And i didnt hit the translate but hey

Edit: Second time i edit this message but i forgot to clarify something. What im saying is that if the phone is flashed with an unbranded firmware before unlocking it should be fine. But if you try to unlock it with the branded(hard lock) firmware, and then flash it with the unbranded firmware the phone will still show wrong sim and ask for a code no matter what you do. In my case for example i flashed the unbranded and then used your app to unlock(i used voodoo with the ClaroPR stock). Your app showed the phone was partially locked, then i clicked to unlock and everything went well. Rebooted, but there was the phone asking for the code anyway. Then when i checked your app it showed unlocked on everything. But it wasnt really since it still read wrong sim.

If its worth something, Those phones used to change their model number when they were flashed with an unbranded firmware. For example, here in PR we have i9000T, and galaxy 5830L. When i flashed an unbranded firmware it used to change the model number from i9000T to i9000 and galaxy 5830L to simply galaxy 5830 respectively. I checked the i9300 to see if i can help you with any differences and thats one of them. The GS3 still shows i9300PCT where PCT is the ClaroPR csc.

One other thing, there used to be separate files for flashing the phones. I do remember a GS2(i9100), an i9000, and galaxy Ace that in order to remove the hard locked needed to be flashed with that. I think if it was available for the GS3 i9300 it should do the job. I mean the only way i had before to have those phones sim unlocked if i use an app to unlock them was flashing the phone using firmwares with separate files(pit, pda, csc and modem). In those cases even when i unlocked them using apps on the stock(hard locked) firmware it was going to work fine after the unbranded flash. I dont know if all that helps you but ive unlocked hundreds of galaxy phones using apps and manually removing the lock on the nv_data.bin and thats what i can tell you so far.
