there is no t-mobile start up screen or even t-mobile apps...is there a way to check if it is unlocked apart from trying different sim cards...ie like a code you enter...
sorry for the dumbness of my question....ohh and keep up the good work

Whr r u from?

Got mine from Vodafone, and its branded. Not locked.
Same in T-Mob case, they r just branded. Bootanimation etc is Samsung stock, u should just have some "T-Mob-Special-Apps" in your Appdrawer.
Im Using T-mob Germany Card in my VF-Phone, just choose your Networkprovider under Settings and everthing is fine

is that the right code getting connection problem or invalid mmi code

which firmware it has now?
Mine too (in AUstralia Voda), at first I was on stock firmware and network locked.
I swear I can execute that code, and I even unlock it using voda's official unlock code.
Now I am running CheckRom v3.5 based on BLFB and I get the invalid mmi code.
Someone said need to use stock dialer. But I thought my dialer is stock.

[Q] can i get the 8 digit code free if i have my imiei for my note

If there is a free site I beg for help
yes, at&t customer chat gives you the code for free.
Important to know that you need to be on the stock att Rom to unlock your devise. Simply entering your code into the dial pad on a non stock Rom like cm9 will not do anything but return an invalid mmi error. I should know my note is now permanently locked to att after 5 failed attempts and now Im waiting on a replacement to arrive. Meanwhile my note is now urooted and back to stock for about a week which is like chewing glass.

How would that happen? Someone would have to enter a different code in your phone, or you would have to flash stock rom with JTAG.
You call and ask

You try to upgrade and it gets locked OR you upgraded and it gets locked???
I'm unaware of flashing custom ROM causing the sim-locked.

Explain to them the situation. I think they should not have any problem giving you the code. Especially since the phone is more than 2 years.

Hmmm, that's odd, maybe I'm behind the curve but still weird flashing custom ROM causes sim locked.
Can you revert back to the previous OS? 4.1.2 maybe and see if problem still there?
Anyway, where do you get the AOKP 4.2.2?

[Q] S3 - I9300XXUGML2 - GalaxSim Unlock not working, what to do to have data?

Hello,
I just installed I9300XXUGML2 on my i9300, the problem is that when trying to use GalaxSim unlock it says it is still not supported in this version.
I have the EVR version of the ROM which says it is Everywhere in UK and I am using Giffgaff. I have calls but still no internet even after configuring giffgaff APN options.
In 4.1.2 everything was working correctly, although I know that installing 4.1.2 from 4.3 could create issues.
What do you suggest?

Hi little confused if you are using Giffgaff sim these can only be used in unlocked phones.Why would you need GalaxySim unlock! If you have calls then your phone is unlocked?...

Indeed, that is what I do not understand. I have calls but not Internet and I was thinking it was because galaxsim unlock has not be runned.
I placed the APN giffgaff settings in several ways but nothing seems working. I have the H+ symbol on top but just not having internet....
I really dont know what to do.
Galaxy Sim doesn't work on new 4.3 update but you don't need it anyway you are unlocked if you weren't you would not be able to make calls.I would suggest trying another 4.3 stock rom.

Got it now... Sometimes the most obvious is not evident. I just changed how I paid giffgaff some weeks ago and it did not activate for this month, so I just paid and everything is OK now, thanks for your help.

Trying to unlock but get not registered to network error

Evening all,
I'm trying to unlock a friends SIII, which she been passed down. I believe it was on Orange and is still locked to them (don't know for sure), I've put my Lycamobile sim in and it comes up with sim network unlock PIN I was going to try the free method of typing in *#197328640# but all I get is an error saying not registered to a network.
I've tried using Kies and picked upgraded and initialisation, it did already say it was update but thought I would run it anyway but still no luck. Could anyone offer any advice. looks like its running 4.3.
Advice is go buy an unlock code, nothing else will work.
