Just means it's not an S3 code like most on that list you probably read.

Are you sure, but this is the code to check your uock status
Sent from my GT-I9300

worked for me
I am not sure what this code does.
I checked this code, and got,
Personalizatiob Status - not sure if it has to be Personalization.
Network Lock
[OFF]
etc..
I am on Stock ROM.

This why I'm a bit concerned I'm just using a stock Rom just rooted and the code doesn't work any ideas. I my phone did come with a branded rkm from three UK but I flashed it with a unbranded stock Rom

First why that code ??? Samsung give it to you or is it the usual secret codes poster where the codes are plain wrong .
jje

EGAN is right.most of these "secret"codes are taking from gs2 forum and usually ppl just assume they work and in some regions they do,some they don't.
We need someone find the codes specific to gs3

this code is used to check network lock status etc it is working on most of the samsung phones.
it was working on GSIII on le8 stock(atleast on my phone), after updating to latest one its not working anymore.
the message you are getting is because u have pressed green button(call)
normally when u enter those codes all u have to do i put # and the result will be displayed.
This code is not working on GSIII with firmware higher than LE8.

Ok i managed to check on SGS3 firmware later than LE8 and it works .
But i repeat many of the secret codes posts are a total secret and don't actually work and the poster never tested them .

I can confirm that code *#7465625# doesn't work on my Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300, Android 4.1.2, Kernel 3.0.31). And I don't have other network micro SIM to check if it is locked or not.

do you realize this thread is 8 months old?

Yes I do and 8 months is not 8 years, people still can find this thread. So it might save somebody's time to go straight to that thread explaining why:

take a look at this for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13880069&postcount=12
my version is ... KDC... but when i connect via kies, i get the same message
Once again:
When a firmware, which is newer than the one currently on your phone, becomes available on Kies the program will detect it and allow you to upgrade provided you have not mixed and matched modem/csc/pda from different firmwares. Think about this, how the hell can it update if there is nothing to update to?

excuse me but i disagree here because : my version is i9100XWKDC... on kies they say that the new one is.. i9100XWKE2 ... and then again they say that my device version can not be upgrade... so, the new one is different than mine and i still cant get it.. WHY?????

What is the CSC for the device?
because i dont understand your question ) ( silly blond ) i will give you all the letters and numbers : PDA:KDC/PHONE:KDH/CSC;KD1(XEU) i9100XWKDC
Where in the world are you?
BULGARIA
no answer??? i am waiting for your sentence
I think it's to do with Samsung's servers. I just connected my phone after installing KIES again and where it used to say before that I have the latest version of the software it now says the same thing as yours, this version of the device cannot be updated.
edit: BTW, I work and have a life away from the forum so I may not respond to you right away. I just got in from training so if it's ok with you I'm going to have a shower and some food.
feel free, sounds fine for me.. i am going to have a glass of red wine

[Q] Does the gt-i9100 has NFC ?

I have a gt-i9100 galaxy with ics 4.0.4 ... When i first bought it (2.3.6), inside the manual it said it has NFC chip (but i never found nor the application nor the toggle in settings to enable it). But when i found a mod for 4.0.4 to put it enable it (here on xda), after the reboot the Android kept saying "The Nfc application stopped working". It also made my phone stuck every 3.5 seconds and when i whent to settings to shutdown the NFC the toggle wasn't there. So my question is this (i just point my problem so you can understand a bit more) "Does the gt-i9100 has NFC and doesn't working for the moment in 4.0.4 ,does the mod itself is problematic or is for earlier versions of android, or the gt-i9100, Korean edition, actually have NFC ....
no, the i9100 variant will not, however a NFC enabled MicroSD card may be released to support NFC
this is what this FAQ thread says : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046748
Yes it does mine is UK on 02 it will say on your battery nfc enabled have a look also mine says it on the back cover as well will post pic in a bit

ok thanks, .... mine doesn't have either of those .... so here my last question ........ WHY the f***k ,in the instructions, says that it has ?! It doesn't make sense !
You have ICS 4.04 ???
jje
I have bought another battery for my GT-I9100 .
The battery has the writing over it "near field communication"
I also found this page on XDA developers implying that there are some Korean variants with nfc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II/GT-I9100
Only thing i have android 2.3.5 that doesn't support NFC ... so i can't prove any
point.
I want to upgrade to ICS (Which support NFC) but i want to make a rom backup
first .
And i don't want to download ODIN from "strange" sources .
But i have a feeling that i have been screwed with this NFC thing . So many things to check in the smartphone when you bought it .....
I have to share with you ... i was trying to log in to xda-developers for ages and i couldn't. So now its my first post here .
I know this is an old thread but we have the i9100 and are wondering is there a way to check as ours are second hand phone so prob don't have original batteries etc.

Kind of funny as my Note still showing it as it also been upgraded to official ICS.
Does anyone experiences it? How can make it appear if it's possible?
Thanks in advance.

If I remember correctly this could be because of using the older bootloader.
Are you using the ICS bootloader?

Thanks for the reply...
I couldn't answer you bout the bootloader. Actually i bought this 3 weeks old S2 secondhand.
How can i check if the phone was rooted before? I get it after he factory reset everything. Running official ICS guess...
The IMEI number same with the box and official receipt.
Thanks
Sent from my Noble Black Note
You can't if he wiped it.
As long as the serial number on the sticker on the chassis of the phone under the battery & the serial number on the box match & the IMEI matches up & is OK/you're not having any problems using the phone, not having the serial number show up in settings makes no difference to anything.

I9100G!! Just incase you want to tinker....Don't flash any bootloader etc that's not specifically for the "G" model.
Like MB says it's not a problem software wise. I can't even remember if I ever saw mine.

Just wondering.... As it only 3 week olds and long period of warranty, is it still valid for official warranty?
I did text the first owner but no reply from him on how did he update to ICS.
Thanks.

I think you should still have manufacturers warranty if the device is only 3 weeks old.

It's kind of weird that my buddy S2 also not showing serial nr. I check on S2 running GB 2.3.6, there's no serial nr column.
I GUESS ( my personal opinion) is that when GB upgraded to ICS for Malaysia firmware. It will only show 00000000000.
Maybe some forumer here can give their S2 status.
Since then, I think i've got my answers....

I got a brand new handset replacement from my network provider and also had the same issue. I'd love to know why this is and hope it's got nothing to do with the Windows/Kies connectivity issues I've been having.
As per the above it's a bootloader issue. If you run a recent bootloader (ICS & above), you'll see your serial number in settings.
No, it shouldn't have anything to do with any Windows/Kies connectivity issues.

Hey there,
You may be having the same problem as me.
If you make a call (i use voicemail to test), after a random amount of time, does your network connection drop for about 20 seconds?
Yea??? But i can't even phone voice mail...

You need to use SEARCH suggest you look in the faqs and guides modem section .

I had this problem before. Updating to the latest modem (XXELLA) may help, but you may need to wipe data/cache and reflash your ROM as well. Reflashing is what worked for me.
XELLA is not the latest

You don't have to replace that chip, you can either "reflow" it (if you know what you're doing), or put a small piece of credit card or something to put pressure on it.

Finding out my Samsung s3 product code

Hey there I am running a Sammy S3 GT-I9300 16gb international on omega rom 42 + boeffla kernel, I tried inputing the code for finding out my product code but it doesn't seem to work. I need it since I have to unroot my phone as I am going to sell it.
Thank you in advance for your help.
P.S. Just to make sure phone is running with a custom rom.
Do you mean your original firmware ??/
jje
what is this "product code" you're talking about?
it is in effect the firmware version currently on the phone .
GT-I9300XXALE8
Presume the op wants original firmware but they never made a note of it .
Kies how to recover original firmware thread or something like that may help.
jje
Yes I am searching for my original firmware code. Can the serial number help kies find it. Also is it safe to use kies on a phone with a custom rom.
Kies confirmed my firmware version with sammobile using my s/n. I am ok now. Thanks for the help guys
