Hi all. Picked up a locked galaxy the other day and just wondering if anyone can help me unlock it to any sim or is there a universal unlock for this yet? Thanks
which country is selling the sg3 locked? I thought they were all carrier unlocked..not sure about the U.S. ones that will come though.
Here in Holland there is an option to buy a T-mobile branded phone: by the smartphoneshop online here.
If you select the Galaxy S3 you can choose to buy the simlock-free version or the T-mobile versoin (cheaper).
I think this one could be sim-locked.
Maybe someone experiencing this same problem?
(sorry can't post links yet...)
Got mine yday from Vodafone and is locked (unlock code on the way ).
On Vodafone Spain also locked. Where are you getting your unlock code from?
Phone is locked to Three, and I'm in Ireland. Anyone know how to unlock this?
Anyone?
Someone must have an unlock method for this by now?

This is relevant.
Does anyone know?
I've tried to reflash several different stock roms but nothing worked. Its still locked.
Picked up what i thought was a unlocked (even says "not carrier branded" on my recite). And its locked, i called them and they apparently had the wrong phones shipped to them or whatever.
So now i'm stuck with a locked SGS3 until monday (the store has closed until then..) Cant call or sms. it sucks. Anyone know how I can fix this?
As of yet an unlock method has not been posted .
You can ask or pay your network to unlock .

Nah the carrier won't give me the unlock code.
Bollox.
Someone surely has been working on an unlock for the S3?
try this

I have found an unlock on the gsmhosting forums:
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f286/i9300-galaxy-siii-unlocked-1489544/
I'm not sure if it works or not as I don't have an SG3
(mods please remove link if you deem it to be unsuitable)
Anyone try this and does it work?
Says I need a nspro box. Bollox.
Any other suggestions?
Need to unlock asap.....

Hello guys,
This is my first post in this great looking forum & Happy New Year 2011
I have a Sony Ericsson X10a phone from Canada's wireless provider Rogers. and I've tried unlocking it by buying a code from one of the unlocking sites out there, (am I allowed to say the sites' name?!) but it didn't work! They told me I had to check the attempts and whatnot, so they refused to give me my money back.
I followed this tutorial (below) but it didn't work out for me. and I have a feeling that Rogers locked this phone so damn good it can't be unlocked.

Okay guys.
Here is new X10flash for Firmware 2.1 Version (old 1.6 Firmware can not be flashed with this at the moment).
Windows 7/Vista Users should diasable UAC!!
Download Flasher: (Update 14.11.2010) GUI VERSION!!!

HOWTO for Flasher here:

You will see that there is a new Folder "firmware" the firmware files must be inside this folder!
Download Firmware:

X10a:
http://www.multiupload.com/M048IDMI4L ROGERS (thanks to henh)
http://www.multiupload.com/ZGI6JWKIPG GENERIC (thanks to BluechipJ & batman112)
Put the extracted files into the new "firmware" Folder and run the X10flash.bat
SO-01:
http://www.multiupload.com/E3C7FRFAQ9 DOCOMO (thanks to indigomode)
You have to wipe your USERDATA !! This is important, otherwise you will enter Bootloops etc.
Also be sure SEUS is NOT running! (But at least it should have detected your phone once)
THIS FIRMWARE IS ONLY FOR X10 NOT FOR MINI (PRO) or X8 !
But the flashtool should be capable of flashing all Xperia Series now!
If someone decrypts the Rom you can try it
Regards
Bin4ry
If you have more ROMS, just drop me a PN and i will add them to this post!
IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE "Unable to Open Channel" please try this guide:

The Rogers logo is now gone after what I believe was flashed (and/or rooted) but the sim card is still locked.
Any chance I can format, update/upgrade, and "sim" unlock my phone?
Thanks for any help!

Hi.
You've debranded your phone, but simlocking is different, and there is no free way at the moment, so you'll need to have a browse of the numerous unlock threads to see which services people have used and decide for yourself.
And if you've been ripped off post the name of the company so others can avoid them.

So debranding the phone won't unlock it and you say "there's no free way atm."
and what do you mean by services?
Do you mean unlocking sites and/or paid programs?
The site is cellunlocker.net but I don't know if the code would've worked if I had enough attempts, but I still doubt that the code sent to me is genuine!
any chance of formatting the phone so I can have 5 or 10 new attempts?!
Thanks for your reply.

Because I've read numerous threads on it over the last 6 months of being a member here. Loads of people have successfully unlocked their phones, the problem is however they've all had to pay. As for the Cellunlocker, some HERE have said it worked for them, so not sure why it didn't for you, and you'll find other suggestions HERE

You can contact Lancez from this thread. See post#10 and the links are in his signature. I unlocked my two X10's through him.
Hi I unlocked my x10 from Rogers few months ago, but for that I had to pay $25 to a shop in my area and had it unlocked try checking stores who can unlock it.. depends on where you live in Canada

Well, his codes are manufacturer codes not carrier ones. If you check other sites the price is between $35-$40 for the Xperia X10. I have tried many sites with no success. But Lancez has provided me with the correct codes within 10 days and they worked from the first attempt. You can also read the review about his service from other members who used it on the same thread I gave you earlier. I have unlocked two X10a's through him with no problem.
http://www.mobileincanada.com
$20 from here for Rogers x10a (That's what I am and what I got unlocked)
Confirmed worked. Got my code within 2 days.
If you don't know, you need to put in a sim card that ISNT rogers in order for it to ask you to input your unlock code. Perhaps your code actually does work but you didn't put it in the right place? It took me a while to figure this out

I did put another (non Rogers) sim card and I typed the code in the right place because there are no other places for it. and still it didn't work!
it showed "couldn't unlock sim. contact your service provider"

This is from personal experience. I unlocked two X10a's through him and both times the code worked flawlessly. That is all I can say

Its Alive, Works.
First i had the myth advance but it wanted me to introduce the code, then i change to telcel and said Locked Network but then i change to the FW KPD and it works and when i restore The myth advance it works.

Another ROM for your country.... That isn't a gms international phone another rom and you'll have a brick ... you may be able to get a cyanogen or some other aosp but a Samsung for your country will never have been made for this phone ....

you can't.
Currently, the only way to SIM unlock the Sprint Galaxy Note 3 for use on GSM networks outside of the US is for Sprint to unlock it via OTA. And for them to that, the phone must be in an active Sprint account.
Unlike the Sprint Galaxy S4, there's a method to SIM unlock the Sprint S4 without Sprint having to do it for you. Unfortunately, this method has been tried and tested on the Sprint Note 3 and it didn't work.
Putting a different ROM on the Sprint Note 3 won't help...and totally unnecessary for use in other countries. You're at the mercy of Sprint to get it SIM unlocked.
Can not change Chip flash for this ????
What's a chip flash? See my note above yours.
Hello all,
Just purchased LG K7 (Walmart Family Mobile variant, model# K330) and tried to unlock for use on T-Mobile now that all WFM phones are SIM locked. Received a code from cellunlockerpro but the instructions to unlock (2945#*model number#”) don't work to open the dialog box needed to enter the code. Phone has a pre-installed unlock app which checks the eligibility prior to unlocking. Is there anyway to bypass the app and go through the dialer or service menu to unlock somehow? Thanks for any information/advice.
I bought the same phone yesterday for the same purpose. You need to search the forums, and download lgup, lgup_k330 T-Mobile, and WEB_K33010h_00 T-MOBILE.kdz. Follow instructions on the install, and flash that file. It will boot back up connected to T-Mobile. No unlock code needed.
Let me add as I am sure you know I had rooted, and unlocked the bootloader.

Okay, so if I flash this .kdz to the MetroPCS (ms330) variant using LGUp then I will be network unlocked or have switched networks to TMobile from MetroPCS; bypassing the factory installed device unlock application which was originally on the MetroPCS K7? Forgive me Im trying to verify before I attempt this.

Its possible, but more likely that you would just brick your phone if you tried flashing a firmware that wasnt for your exact model phone. Mostly because they use the partitions for different things. Never a good idea to flash firmware onto your phone thats not actually for your phone.
Freaking works!! I got the walmart tmobile version and then flashed the phone with the official tmobile dz stock rom and BOOM i finally got service on my phone with a tmobile sim card lol

U do know after having this phone on metro for 30 to 60 days all you have to do is call them and they will unlock it for free. Every phone i have get from metro I unlock and still have piled up just in case I or someone needs one loll. I have everything from galaxy avant to core prime to LG k7. This is my favorite part about metro you buy a phone you actually buy and keep for any carrier
