Try this method. I used this method on my Vibrant and it worked for me. So might as well give it a try.

Make sure you're rooted. It won't work otherwise.
Make sure your rooted! Go to market search SGS unlock, find the one from helroz. Follow it step by step. I unlocked my vibrant and captivate with it. Then get sim from other provider put it in reboot. You might have to go in to settings mobile network search and select network.

I just sold my Wildfire Buzz, which I successfully rooted.
Soo I think the ACE is logical and cheap upgrade for me.
Just wondering if I root this phone will it unlocked (from the three network)too or is that something separate?
And is their anything I should look in regards to this mobile?

Seriously, it's a very good handset,with a growing dev community. Worth to buy on my opinion.
Ah,no troubles after rooting, it will be simply more powerful!

Nothing changes on network side....
Just beware not to grant network access to any app to avoid unwanted network connections. Also use apn droid widget which will switch off any connection.

He is asking if you can unlock the phone from Three network. I believe you have to buy an unlock code though, have seen people bricking trying to use a root app to unlock.

I can't say it'll be easy without a computer but if you use Mobile-Odin and flash this. It'll install SuperSU and ClockWorkMod but I'd recommend holding off until you have a computer (its just easier on a computer)
Also, you won't magically achieve 3g speeds on your phone if you root it.. You may want to research into that a bit more before you take this plunge unnecessarily.
Ok ill wait. I had a s2 that I rooted. Do u know how I can get 3g speeds. I have researched this and havnt found ne thing

Your phone supports 3g right out of the box.. Maybe your carrier has restricted your service to 2g or you don't have coverage in your area.
No, you can`t root your phone from the phone afaik and Mobile Odin needs root before you can use it

Yes, you can, read my reply
Of course the device needs to be rooted for Mobile Odin to work. Quote from the dev:
"Your device must be rooted to be able to use Mobile ODIN"
Otherwise it would mean that ANY app can simply overwrite or rewrite your firmware which in itself would be a major security risk.

That's exactly the way I did it.
-Rooted with exynos abuse 1.40 (phone was on 4.1.1)
-installed mobile odin for flashing recovery and kernel
After that I could do everything out of CWM.
So my S3 never saw a pc

Does any one have a link to exynos? And I'm running stock 4.0.4 right now. Also I know unit really supposed to ask and is your own preference but I'm just curious what are the more popular stable roms out there. I like themes a lot lol. But I want one that has decent battery stats and can boost my Internet speed. I know that's possible bc a guy at a phone store had his rooted and on cincinnati bell and he had a lot my options than me.

1. You need the unlock code for the device.
2. Enter the code.
Are you looking for the place to put the unlock code into the phone? Have you tried putting in another SIM card? My tablet just asked for the unlock code when I did that.

I meant reflash it for another carrier other than the one it came on originally.
Anyway, once the new Qualcomm chip drops later this year this should become almost a non-issue.

I used the thread that guides you into using the different radio and dialing in some codes to unlock mine. It's here on xda all you have to do is search for it. Don't forget to flash your radio back after unlocking.
