Hi, first off I know that this is the Verizon section but there isn't a spot for U.S Cellular. OK, I have received a Samsung Galaxy S3 Model Number

SCH-R530 because the screen is barely cracked. The person got a new one and now I have this one. I have I Wireless for cell service which is a T-Mobile

affiliate. I Wireless uses GSM and I have a Mini SIM card in my Galaxy Nexus. When I dial the *#06# on the Galaxy S3 a MEID number comes up. When I

take the battery off and look there there is one IMEI and 2 MEID serial numbers. If I am correct I think IMEI is for GSM. This Galaxy S3 also has a SIMcard in

it which I thought CDMA doesn't use. It is a micro SIM and says US Cellular 4G LTE on it. Is there any way I could unlock this Galaxy S3 to use on my GSM

network? Please help. Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
It will work for gsm networks but you have to be rooted, edit the apn and i beleive you can only run 2g data. There is a thread about it somewhere around here on a howto for tmobile. And to the other person who said the sim is only for lte is correct, for verizon that is :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Konner27:
So do you think it is worth it doing all that or just keep using my Galaxy Nexus?

If you root it then upgrade to AOKP 4.1.2 custom ROM or any other custom or stock style ROM thats 4.1.X (Jelly Bean), then there is a REALLY easy trick. I know it's harder for US Cellular only because they are still using 4.04 ICS which doesn't support the menu you need to do this, you need JB for this trick, if you have it stock like on T-mobile then no rooting or upgrading needed, but US Cellular it is. I used it to unlock my tmobile, and my friend and mom both have us cellular. After you Unlock it you can always go back to stock if you want, just make sure and after you root but before you upgrade the ROM you do a nandroid backup to go back to. After you have a Jelly Bean ROM installed,

1. Type *#197328640# and it brings up the factory service menu (very usefull)

2. Select (1) UMTS

3. Select (1)Debug Screen

4. Select (8) Phone Control

5. Select (6)Network lock

6. Inside the Network lock menu, Pick option (3) Perso SHA256 off, Passed that is a screen that says something like "no options in this menu, current command is 11863", Wait for 30-60 secs, from there hit the menu button on bottom left of phone to bring up options, Select "Back".

7. The last command should have brought you back into the Network Lock menu, at the bottom is (4) NW Lock NV Data Initialize, Select it. You might be asked a saftey are you sure, some people not, after it begins that process wait a good 60 sec the reboot. Thats it! Phones Unlocked :)

It would be good for you to root and upgade a custom JB 4.1.x or higher ROM anyways as they have support and menu options for working on all CDMA/GSM/LTE Networks. Even if you unlock your phone using the IMEI number and paying 20$ for the unlock code, you will still need JB. They also have apps on the play store specifically for galaxy s3's, capable of unlocking for allot cheaper if your phones rooted.

Good Luck!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WhitePhoenix5:
So, let me know if I'm correct

I have doing some research online, and I just want to know if I'm correct, Please, please someone answer me:

1. All Samsung Galaxy SIII, by US Cellular, even though using CDMA, ALL contains a SIM Slot for GSM network? (being one of the few)

2. Since it contains a SIM Slot, in order to work in a GSM network, one alternative could be to get it Rooted, and then use an Unlock Software?

Please somebody answers me, I bough a SGSIII on Ebay, and just found out about this.

Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 24861:
Hey Everyone..... I'm here to say that this DOES WORK just fine and dandy. But there is a step that no one is telling anyone or else no one knew. You have to first unlock the hidden menu before it is accessible. Go to your dialer and type the following in and then change to "Enable". Press *#22745927 to enable hidden menu. Once done with that go back and follow what the previous guy said to do........

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alias503:
What ROM are you on? Aosp/aokp do not support USD or ussd codes ( what ever that is called) you need to be on a stock/custom stock. Some devs may remove it from custom stock as well. So pay close attention to you ROM type and version.

I will be stepping in soon to try this on a d2usc/r530. I am a T-Mobile user. I had the d2tmo. Currently nexus 4. I need to repair the R530 and once I do I will help out. One thing is download mskips tool kit. Good luck.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alias503:
Can any one confirm this with screen shot on a r530u? Has any one really been successful with this?

I have the same issue under option 6. On my 530u. I believe that with it being a wcdma/lte provisioned that option may be hidden/locked. I did the dialer on a t999 and every thing came up fine not sure if it is unlocked though. One thought (I am not recommending this to anyone) is to flash a t999/i747/i535 stock rooted trough cwm. This may or may not allow for that option. This could be in the NV data or some other partition. also i think in stock roms there is a system app called hidden menu. I wonder if that is it and if it is swapable.

I ran across this a day or 2 back (hint to noobs: google is easier to use than xda) on google. I bookmarked to my next head call. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1809314&page=49

hidden menu

OK, I googled around and found com.android.hiddenmenu (typed it from memory) is the .apk for the dialer menu. On sprints mb1 update they lost the option or something. They went to an older official ROM and pulled it out and transplanted it. What I am wondering and will try later is pulling this off of a i535 4.1.1 official and replacing it with ours. This is a shot in the dark. I am going to attempt it later. This is just to get to that last menu that some of can not access or see. Any input?

to unlock the i535

​

I also have the i535 and rooted and unlocked it gor gsm. All you have to do is download apn manager pro and make it a system app. Once you do this go to web on carroer your trying to use they should have all the info for you to put in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alias503:
Your rite with an i535. Some of us with the r530 can not access the last option in the hidden menu for the unlock. The steps we are discussing allow us to unlock with out rooting.

I just received the my r530 and repairs were made to make it functional. I was going to see what I could do to figure this out as I have no need for this phone. I am at a road block as I fixed the phone and I find that the nv data was messed up. Imei was lost. I am still climbing out of this issue so I am sorry that I have no progress to report. I am not developer but want to learn. So if any one has an idea please let me know.

sch-r530u

Hi all,

I've got a US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S3 (sch-r530u) and this is what i discovered; After enabling hidden menu, I've entered the following *#2263# to get into Service mode. It seems there are radio bands for WCDMA, GSM and LTE, particularly quad band gsm. My question is; Is it feasible to port GSM radio(s)?

Cheers!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alias503:
Good question. I am 90% sure the radios from metro PCs would flash OK on the us cellular. Editing the radio zip might be needed. Verizon radios could be iffy. No idea between gsm radios. Now I will be willing to try the metro but none of the others. Unfortunately metro PCs radios won't have the options (in hidden menus on stock rom) if the options is enabled by the radio. As I am about 90% sure gsm won't work on the r530m. Now with T-Mobile buying/merging what ever with metro... who know could have something useful. I am messing around currently with the efs partitions. I am flashing a verizon qcn to a US cellular phone. If that allows gsm to work the I think I found a place to look. Keep me posted if you try the radio swap. Just note you could brick it.

Also search around there are threads that do discuss radio swapping. I know there are threads on each posted devices that are dedicated to flashing just the radio. Sure that would be good place to look. I will have a look later as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bsqueeze44:

I know I have not been able to. At one point I thought I got a voicemail notification... ??? I thought. Best I can tell the answer might be in vzw s3 on firmware Vrbmf1.

I just bought a gs4 on ebay from us cellular with a bad esn and I was hoping this method would work for the gs4 as well? I bought it from a company and they said I can return the phone within 14 days. But if I can unlock and use it for tmobile I would be happy as a clam also I called tmobile and they said as long as its unlocked the phone should be fully functional on their network im not worried about 2g/3g speeds because I think there is a way I could tinker and get it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alias503:
Short answer=return it.

I was able to do this on a sgh-t999(non Lte)- I just did it to see if it had the menu. R530u- does not do it. I535 I believe was on 4.1.1 firmware only(I believe) so unless you time to revert to prior firmware version to try to see if this methood work... You need to dig in to the specific model of your s4 to find an unlock option... If there is even is one. Seriously bad IMEI could = BIG TROUBLE.... Good luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisnpg:
I'm able to enable the hidden menu and successfully enter service mode, but once I reach the network lock, there are no other options. My android version is 4.1.2. I've also attempted this with CM-10.1.2-d2usc OS and AOKP trying to display the hidden menu but no go.

Has anyone else been successful? does anyone have any tips or suggestions? I've been researching and many attempts with different procedures for the last two weeks. Just when I think I've got it, it turns out to be another dead-end.

Just to clarify my model is a Samsung Galaxy S3 sch-R530u.

By chance, does anyone else's same model IMEI number start with 99? I recently was told that any IMEI number that starts with 99 can't be unlocked. Also does anyone have a IMEI number that is only 14 characters?

No matter what OS I have installed, if I type *#06# in the dialer pad it will only display 14 characters. But with a custom rom within settings, about phone, status it displays a 15 IMEI number, which I find very odd. The number is the same but with the additional 15th character.

i managed to change my r530u to i535

NOOB{

i've been on the same issue for the past week. but i managed to flash the verizon firmware to the usc r530u and booted jus fine. only problem is there's still no signal with my gsm sim. when i go to the about device info it says SCH_I535. also when i installed some apps they recognized it as 535. now where do i go from here.

i used the AxisM but instead of selecting usc r530u i selected the verizon installer and also selected the stock kernel. when i use the other kernel it results in a bootloop. hope someone can help from here.

forgot to ADD the hidden menu is only available in stock roms not cm or aosp. when you get to the network lock try using the number input. select option then the number like if (1)Debug Screen hit option then select input key or something like that and then select 1 which is where debug screen is. try that for all. maybe that's work for you.

I am trying to do the same for Cricket s3 (R530WC). I seem to have issue finding the "Test SIM" menu. Where exactly is this menu located?

Also:

1. It is possible to put it into service mode by *#22745927#, then *#7284#. After that I was able to use DFS and QPST to access service programming. It was possible to put it into GSM mode, but it didn't recognize SIM anyway.

2. At this time I could not find a firmware which would even recognize t-mobile SIM as a valid SIM at all. But initially, this phone did have a firmware which understood that this is t-mobile, I plugged into it, although it didn't work anyway. But that tells me that hardware is capable of recognizing GSM SIM cards, so it's likely to be software-fixable

3. I tried flashing i535 firmware with no success (ODIN fails). Running R530CVVBMD6_R530CVBMD6_R530CVVBMD6_HOME.tar right now. Anyone knows if alternative radios/firmwares exist? Which of the R530U firmware(s) did this function on? I am willing to try them, if somebody can please post a link.
