Hi,

First step is flash the CWM recovery via Odin. You can download CWM recovery from here:

https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B...ZhbUE/edit?docId=0B98X7HyfoaGaNzNvR052dUp0Wmc

Choose this file: SC06D-JB-KBC-CWM-V6.0.1.2_r10-recovery-odin.tar.md5

Flash that file in Odin, choose the PDA in Odin.

I assume you already know how to flash via Odin, if you dont know just ask me again or try to browse other thread.

Step two is run the CWM recovery. Also, I assume you already know to get into recovery mode. Make backup first in recovery mode, you need to insert external SD card and save the backup in the card.

Step three, download this file sgs3_rooting_supersu_v3.zip from here:

https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B...ZhbUE/edit?docId=0B98X7HyfoaGaR21wdXZweDdYSXM and save it to the external SD card that you used before.

Step four, run the recovery mode again and choose install from SD card, then choose external sd card and choose the file you donwloaded (sgs3_rooting_supersu_v3.zip). After completing all, reboot your phone and you will see the Super User app. Make sure you download root checker in Play store so you can check whether the phone are rooted or not.

Note: If you run the recovery, the screen will reverse. Dont worry, it works eventhough the screen reverses.

Thats all. I am looking the way to unlock this phone, *#197328640# doesnt work. If you have a clue, please let me know.

I see a Vietnam website with video on youtube. It shows that this phone has been unlocked.

http://choimobile.vn/threads/unlock-samsung-s3-scl21-au-kddi-nhat-ban.2699/

Any idea how to SIM unlock this phone?, really appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Updated:

I found a new thing regarding this phone. This phone doesn't support non LTE sim card, even you have micro sim (3G) card from AU KDDI. I am trying to find other LTE sim card from other carrier in order to check whether this phone works on that sim or not.

May be somebody can explain why this phone doesn't support non LTE sim. In case of Galaxy s3 LTE from NTT Docomo, it works when I used 3G sim (FOMA). I cut the 3G sim to fit the micro slot.

unlock for this phone

well, my purpose is/was to unlock this phone so I followed the samsung galaxy s3/note unlock method from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2014982

(I have/had this S3 Progre SCL21, the same phone in this thread)

I can access all the menu and procedure from that thread below, despite this phone being stock Android 4.04!

----------------

"Main Menu > [1] UMTS > [1] Debug Screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] Network Lock > Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF > (after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button then select Back, now you are in [6] Network Lock then choose [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ..... wait for a minute then reboot your phone..."

---------------

I put 3G/2G sim card and the phone shows no service. I even put CDMA network sim, no luck. I don't know if this phone is unlocked. I'm wondering if this phone works only with LTE/4g sim. Right now, there's no 4G/LTE in my region :(

I assume the phone must support all other bands, if properly unlocked.

Now, I'm wandering through the threads and googling.

So far, I'm looking for Jelly Bean 4.1.1 for this phone, which doesn't seem to be available anywhere, even on samfirmware, only stock firmware

Root/flash CWM recovery and try some other unlock method from out there, (after making a backup Stock ROM and sensitive IMEI/NV data of course)

Please keep everyone updated and keep the spirit alive :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brong:
Actually this phone, SCL21 can be used with LTE sim card only. I already tried to use non LTE sim card from KDDI AU with no luck.

What I am thinking is actually this phone maybe unlock-able by using the procedure as you mentioned (NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ). Since the phone can only be used with LTE sim card, we need to try LTE sim card from other carrier in order to test.

The problem is I dont have other carrier LTE sim card right now, if you have you can try it.

Update: Also I am wondering how to make this phone works with not only LTE/4G but also with 3G/CDMA. I changed the band to automatic, but there is no luck. I think this phone is locked to be used only with LTE/4G sim card. So, if somebody knows how to deal with this matter (make the phone not only accepts LTE/4G sim card, but also 3G/CDMA sim card) please share with us here.

Hi everyone ^_^

I just got the SCL21 about two weeks ago. I think it's really strange that even on the Japanese forums, there is very little info on rooting this model. From everything I've found, some Japanese sites also both say it's OKAY to root using the Docomo SC-06D recovery and Superuser zip while others say that it's NOT safe to use that same method and it will result in a bricked phone. Really odd, conflicting messages I think. :eek:

What is even more strange is the apparent issue with the screen "reversing"? One of the Japanese sites literally said the screen becomes "upside down" after flashing the SC-06D recovery.

Brong, since you got the root to work successfully :), could you please elaborate on the "reversing" of the screen?:o Is the image upside down and only during the recovery mode? Also, do you know if the root caused you to lose the "osaifu Keitai" touch feature? :o

Thanks a lot to Brong and everyone else helping out with this model phone!! :D

Status of SIM access

Hi,

I tested both a 3G micro SIM and a 4G LTE nano SIM from Softbank in this phone and neither card is recognized. The phone acts as though no SIM is inserted at all. (Complete with the "no smoking" symbol (circle with diagonal line through it) instead of a signal meter. I have confirmed that this phone is indeed sold already SIM unlocked from the factory as the MSL is 000000 just like the Verizon Galaxy S III which is also sold without a SIM lock. Additionally, KDDI lists the SCL21 and all other LTE phones they are selling since the debut last winter as being SIM unlocked devices.

According to some Japanese forums, they are suspecting that this phone has some type of hardware lock (hard locked?)... I contacted the only known person who was successful at using a 3rd party SIM on the Vietnamese Viettel GSM network as in a YouTube video. He wouldn't give me any details except that he must have the phone physically in his shop to modify it and it can't be done remotely. This individual also has screenshots showing the stock ROM version running in Vietnamese which makes me believe that he flashed something to the stock ROM to gain SIM detection of 3rd party cards.. Anyone have any ideas about such a hardware locking mechanism?:confused:

decoding samsung galaxy s3 scl21

hello guys!!!! im a new member here ... i registered on this site for one reason and that is to help those people who have samsung galaxy s3 scl21 ... because i also got 1. I`ve been searching for months on how to unlock this phone so i could use it in my country (Philippines). I was almost loosing my hope because i was really eager to use this phone because of its features, a nice looking phone and its very expensive here in my country.

Few days ago i was browsing the net, i came across with this code *#197328640# that opened the window for me on how i could use the phone with any kind of sim card wether its LTE or 3G ..Im telling you guys the answers are all in that code

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yangj08:
He's referring to the service mode. In that case, here are the steps to perform an unlock using the service mode (tested to work ONLY on the docomo models SC-06D and SC-03E; NO GUARANTEE IT WILL WORK ON THE SCL21):

1. Enter service mode by dialing the code in the dialer.

2. Press "UMTS".

3. Press "Debug Screen".

4. Press "Phone Control".

5. Press "Network Lock".

6. Press "Perso SHA256 Off".

7. Menu->Back (if the menu button turns up nothing, then just push "back") then wait 30 seconds.

8. Press "NW Lock NV Data Initallliz" then wait around one minute.

9. Reboot the phone and it SHOULD be unlocked. Works great on the SC-06D and SC-03E, no guarantees with the SCL21. And with the SC-03E newer basebands either hid it away or blocked it out so an older one needs to be flashed in before it will show up for unlocking.

Anyone looking to get one should only do so when they've got a trip to Vietnam in their future (to go get it done in a shop there; they still seem to be the only country with shops doing it) or be using au in Japan.

s3 scl21

that`s the first instruction i found when i was browsing the net and tried it but unfortunately it didnt work...... there are still settings in the service menu and all you have to do is click everything that has something to do with the wcdma to gsm..gsm to wcdma or g to wcdma something like that. There`s also a setting that tells somethin like resetting cant remember the exact word and you have to wait for 90 or 60 secs.and restart the phone .and then go back to changing gsm to wcdma .,there`s a setting also that you have to change the frequency .cant remember the step by step guide but because of my eagerness to use the phone i clicked everthing in the service menu and searched every command listed in there.(dont worry it will not brick your phone).After doing all that... this is what happened .. i thought i failed again because the no smoking sign was still there ...so what i did was i clicked the settings and i was so surprised that the menu for mobile network comes out meaning to say that i was able to unlock the settings on the network ..im telling you guys this is what vietnamese unlockers have been doing to unlock this phone that is why they need the phone physically....thats all thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yangj08:
And it never prompted for a SIM unlock PIN again? Somebody really needs to go through this carefully and document it; an SCL21 is only 24-25k yen in Japan; I've heard of people paying more to fix broken screens on their international/American S3s.

as far as i know this particular phone model (s3 scl21) from AU KDDI is not sim locked . The first time i inserted the 3g simcard, it didnt ask for a pin code or anything ...what i could see was the no smoking sign and the simcard icon is there in the apps menu.

hi..

i just use scl21 for a few months. i lived in jakarta, indonesia. my scl21 worked with every sim card here. it just cant connect to 4g,because different frequency with 4g in indonesia.

i received my scl21 already installed android 4.1.2 but in options-about device, model number is sch-i535 with baseband version SCL21KDBND1 and Kernel version 3.0.31-1443107-user se.infra@SEP-75 #2 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 15 16:33:35 KST 2013. And it also have build number EC_I535VRBMF1_V1_3_3.

I try to factory reset the device, and it have standard apps like AdvanceS version 1.1 (by lidroid Mod ported by Wanam, visit bbs.lidroid.com) and HiAPNGlobal version 3.0.6 by Hidroid.Net

My devices worked well with local sim card, it can reach 3G or HSDPA. I just cant reach 4g.

i just wondering, why my device only read ram 1,56GB not 2GB and read rom only 25,69GB not 32GB.

Also, i install trepn profile, and when i check cpu usage monitor, its state that around 60%-70% cpu usage by sim toolkit (or sometime shown as IOTHiddenMenu).

Is that a bug in my device or something happend because of the verizon sch-i535 installed on scl21 device?

I have other samsung device, gt-s6310, also with 4.1.2 android version, installed trepn profiler, sim toolkit takes only small amount of cpu usage, around 1%-3% only!!

why those 2 device so different in sim toolkit usage cpu memory?

maybe the expert in this forum have the answer?

Yup. And it works great. If you go through the Wizard setup, you can make it so you connect to your home internet too. But it works without internet as well. It's its own network hotspot so all you have to do is connect to it from your device as if you're connecting to a new wifi network.

Got mine and works well. When inserting any usb, it powers the USB which diminishes battery life when stored, so only plug the USB in when you need it otherwise its a pretty cool product.

wifi vs. mobile data

A possible showstopper for me is that if I connect to it via wifi, then I lose my mobile data connection. I'd like to be able to use a mobile data app like google navigation while at the same time playing files from the rav wifidisk. If I can't keep both interfaces on, I may end up returning it to amazon. Too bad; it seems to be an amazing device.
[General Accessories] adamf663:
I found a solution although I'm not sure how reliable it'll be.

The ravpower wifidisk has two wireless connections; one that accepts clients (LAN) and one where it acts as a client to another wireless network (WAN)

Fortunately it's cifs server listens on both.

I turned on wireless tethering on my phone. Then I connected from a laptop to it's LAN interface (WiFiSD-xxxx) and configured it's WAN/internet wireless connection to connect to the phone's tethering AP. I also ran the windows mobilefun to discover it's WiFiSD-xxxx ip address and connected via internet explorer. username admin; no password.

In there I discovered the IP address that the tethering AP had give it. If that dhcp assigned address doesn't stay put, I'll put in a static address.

Back on the phone, I ran cifsmanager to connect to the RAV, using the ip address the RAV requested from the tethering AP. Now I have both mobile and ravpower connections on the phone.

Apologies for the late reply, but yes, if you use es explorer or solid explorer, you should be able to browse to your device and copy/paste images into there. I think you need a smartphone/PC to do the transfer, the wifidisk wont do it itself.
