What ROM are you running now? If it's stock 4.3, you will not be able to unlock it with buying a code.

I am presently running 4.1.2...I have been following the directions from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2529200

I finally did figure out how to get it, I am presently downloading it from Rapidgator.net

Here's hoping I can make it work once I get this thing downloaded on my PC. Without buying, I had to opt for the slow download...2 hrs. down, 4 hrs. to go!

Thanks for the inquiry!

I need to unlock my phone, i'm new on android but i'm reading a lot- I bought the phone, Galaxy S3 I747M with stock 4.3 seller said BELL/VIRGIN i dont know wich one of them.

I flashed it and i'm using CM 11 M3 kit kat. Can i downgrade to 4.1.1 without hard bricking it ? I also have a 4.3 back up. Please some one help me what can i do in my case- :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You need to be on stock 4.1.1, including the bootloader, to unlock the phone using the free method. Since you're on a 4.3 bootloader, you'll have to buy the code as there is no way to downgrade the bootloader.

If you buy a code, you'll probably have to install a TW-based ROM in order to access the screen to enter your unlock code.

Hey guys, quick noob question.

I dont have ATT S3 but i am getting one soon. I am going to be giving it to my GF's father who lives in the Dominican Republic and uses one of their local GSM carriers. The phone i purchased says it is already unlocked but I have a few questions. And again pardon my noob-ness.

1 - Is the phone at all region locked? (is there a way to unlock if there is?)

2 - is there a way to do SIM unlock, Carrier Unlock and Region Unlock, or am i confused by the terms of all 3?

3 - Once you unlock on 4.1.1 can you upgrade to 4.3 cleanly without issue and the unlock sticks permanently?

thanks for the help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ibuddler:
So run efs sync will just retain the unlock when we upgrade to 4.3? If I don't run it and when I upgrade to 4.3 the unlock will gone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Which phone do you have? The sync is required for 4.1.3 as per the OP.

I unlocked a Bell s3 and Bell Note 2 by downgrading the firmware to stock 4.1.1, running the unlock procedure, and flashed back to stock 4.1.2, installed a custom recovery, and installed a custom KK ROM. Sim unlock was retained.

I recommend avoiding the 4.3 update if you intend to run a custom ROM. the 4.3 bootloader can't be downgraded and may interfere with obtaining root.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
If the phone is unlocked, it means it would work on all GSM carriers globally. You would, however, need to check the GSM bands that your Dad-in-Law's network uses and be sure they are compatible with the ones supported by AT&T. This will likely not be an issue since DR uses 850/900/1800/1900, at least, one of which is compatible with AT&T. Still you'd do well to check. You may compare unlocking to gently and permanently removing the entire lock assembly on a door. If it is done right, you cannot 'accidentally' lock the door back again. If the vendor says the phone is unlocked, you may verify this by trying the phone with a non-AT&T (or linked service) SIM card e.g. T-Mobile. If it works, then the phone is unlocked otherwise, you may need to discuss further with the vendor. I have upgraded more than a few of the AT&T S3 to 4.3 from 4.1.1 after unlocking and each unlock has survived firmware upgrade. Hope that answers your question although I'm not guaranteeing you will have the same "luck".
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Franzie3:
Awesome. I should have the device sat/Mon. I should be able to check it out. Hopefully it works out. Poor guy still has a blackberry from 3 years ago. Got a HTC and hated it so he couldn't get another one.

Hello, thanks for this tutorial, its pretty easy to understand.. I have not unlocked a phone since the infuse 4g lol.

I just got my galaxy S3 AT&T 4.1.2 firmware. My problem is that I can only borrow wifi from my neighbor, and my downloads usually freeze or fail after a certain point. My question to that is, is the full 738 MBs for the 4.1.1 necessary (it's been a while since i've done this)? If not, can someone possibly upload the necessary files? If the full size is needed, would someone be kind enough to do a torrent? Currently I cant go beyond 100 KB/s so i wont cause much wear and tear on much uploaders. :angel:

I don't want to sound ungrateful, I have done some searching but all I find are those file sharing sites. Right now I got about 5 hours left on my current download and hoping it doesn't fail on me :rolleyes:

You need to be completely stock, including the bootloader, boot img, ROM and modem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ibuddler:
I'm having 747m. What is 4.1.3? I thought it's a typo. Anyway I tried NV restore and sometimes found the unlock is reverted after the restore. So I have to flash the 411 modem again to unlock it again. Do I need to sync it after I unlock it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I don't know if bell ever released 4.1.3 for their i747m.

I have never had to use nv restore after using the free method to unlock my bell s3.

What rom is on your phone? If you have the 4.3 bootloader, the free method won't work.

The unlock should be permanent.

I'm using 4.1.2rom. This is first time I heard 4.1.3. I forgot to do NV back up after flashing the aws NV data. when I tried NV restore, it went to a dead boot. So I have to reflash the rom and found that the unlock was gone. It's not a big deal now. But I'm trying to upgrade to 4.3. I'm afraid it will be locked again after I flash the NV data.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I always thought the unlock was permanent. I didn't realize that using nv writer would or could re-lock the phone.

If you upgrade to stock 4.3, you will not be able to flash back to stock 4.1.1.

I have been on this site for almost a month trying to find out a solution for my sgh-i747. its from at&t and I am trying to use it in asia. I was able to get rid of the unlock code message by doing the said code process. now from that time phone is not asking for any unlock code no matter the carrier of sim. By the way phone was 4.1.1 at the time of applying the method.

Now the issue is that I am not able to connect to any network. it only show some times the carrier logo but even at that time if I try to call this specific number I get message the dialed number is off. even from the same phone I cannot make calls.

if I try to use ussd codes it says invalid code or mmi. now even I put perso (on) or (off) does not make any difference. phone is still same.

by doing in mobile operator network selecetion and trying to search manual. I can see the carrier but cannot register.

Please some one try to find solution

Downgrade to stock worked for me

I had upgraded my SGS3 (Telus, Canada) to 4.3 stock and then to unlock I followed some xda link and downgraded it to 4.1.1 and then unlocked it as per the instructions. It worked just fine for me.

now I have downgraded to stock rom 4.0.4 but still same. in service mode I have messed up with almost all the options but still phone is locked.

Is there a way to lock it back where it asks for unlock code. may be I can buy code and try to unlock it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] iBowToAndroid:
The thread is specifically about the ATT version, which has a locked bootloader, and cannot be downgraded. Canadian versions are unlocked
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
You cant free unlock on 4.0.4 as you need full stock 4.1.1 for this. From reading your prior post, however, I don't think unlocking is the problem here. In fact, your phone may already be unlocked from what you described if you aren't being prompted for unlock code after inserting a foreign SIM. Otherwise, the unlock procedure should work easily if you are on stock 4.1.1. You would need to contact an AT&T outlet or their customer service helpline to check the phone hasn't indeed been blacklisted.

The forum is usually wary about dialogue on blacklisted phones and bad IMEI etc. so I'm afraid I'll need to be careful here.

I thought downgrading from 4.3 would result in hard bricking the phone (if downgrading the bootloader) and without the 4.1.1 bootloader we can't unlock. Can you share the xda link. I've been looking and haven't found anything.

hey...

I don't remember the link which I followed, but it worked for me. Later on I continued with the same old OS for some time fearing, upgrade may rollback the unlock change and relock the device. But 3/4 days back when I upgraded to 4.3 it was still unlocked. I did 2 phase upgrade, both OTA. First from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 and then to 4.3.

Sorry for the hassle but you have to search xda and other forums for the downgrade. And make sure you have all your data backed up before the downgrade.

---------- Post added at 06:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 AM ----------

Hey,

I had the same fear and for the reason was using old 4.1.1 for quite some time. Finally thought of having the latest FW and upgraded it just 3/4 days back from now. It first got upgraded to 4.1.2 and the second attempt to upgrade took me to 4.3 (both OTA) stock. And both the times the device was in unlocked state.

Now am I happy? Yes of course, I am in fact overwhelmed as I saved a lot of money, say around $100 CAD and still using my other SIMs and am able to use the device any place I go. I took it from Canada (Telus Mobility) and Now I am in India and sometimes visit Hong Kong and Singapore and Canada too...

Just go ahead and upgrade, if my stock upgrade OTA worked fine then yours will too....

I had done this awhile back but never tested. I finally tried last week with a colleague's T-Mobile SIM, but I'm not sure it actually worked.

When I turned on the phone I wasn't prompted for an unlock code, but I also couldn't make any calls with the SIM in the device and couldn't get the phone to register onto TMO. I'm on 4.3 now so I can't get to the menus anymore, just wondering if I do have an unlocked phone or not.

There's not really a wrong way to do it. If you don't get prompted for a code, it's unlocked - period. Anything else would either be due to the SIM, the network mode, bands, coverage, a number of things.. APN only has to do with data, nothing else.
