i have rooted my international galaxy s3 GT-I9300
and installed voodoo sim unlock
when i open the application it says
sim lock:inactive
so is my phone factory unlocked and will it run any carrier sim card?
Basically yes, that's what it says.
so phone is unlocked right?
Again, yes.
thankyou very much
I also use voodoo sim unlock it says network inactive but when i insert a diff sim it didnt work. Untill now my sim is locked. Try to put other carrier so you will see if its really unlock. Hope someone fix voodoo sim unlock,coz thats the reason i root my phone.

buddy put a sim code in and forgot it now we cant unlock his phone to make calls. What do i do get a new sim card or is there anything to help with this? thanks all
Do you mean that he put a PIN code on the SIM or change his SIM to another carrier and needs his phone SIM unlocked (i.e. so it can take any SIM card)?
Hi
I have a week old SGS II I9100 locked to Claro Puerto Rico. I've been trying to sim unlock it to use it with a T-Mobile sim card. I have use the Galaxy S unlock app,GSII_REPAIRapp(wich wiped my efs file,have to use kTool to recover it),the Odia method, Galaxy S2 SIM unlock app...NO LUCK!!!!
After using the GalaxyS unlock app I checked the lock status (*#7465625#) & its says the network lock is off. However when I put the Tmo sim its says Network lock & it doesn't even give me an option for a unlock code
Do I have a "UNLOCKABLE" phone???????
If I remember correctly, all of them apps say they will not unlock newer phones. Given yours is a week old, I'd suggest it is an un-unlockable phone. Although someone may prove me wrong.

Ask network/phone provider to unlock .

Good day,
I have an unlock Samsung galaxy s2 on Android 4.1.2,
It's originally from Rogers, but I've been using it with my Bell sim card for a few months.
This morning after a night charge, my phone wasn't able to read my bell sim card anymore...
I reboot a undred times (almost), Flash the ROM, did it again this time wiping all data on my phone, but nothing changed...
There is no APN option, when I go to Access point names, in mobile network settings, I tried a few times to enter the Bell APN setting, but each time I would press on save, it would not save, only disapear.
Finally I tried a Rogers sim card...and its finally working ( with a choice a 4 different APN).
So what do you think? could it be that my Bell sim card stop working during the night?
Or could it be that my phone isn't unlock anymore...
Thanks for your help!!!
Did you try Unlock Sim Apps?

Hi
I have a sgs2. It is originally a bell cellphone/simcard. I now have a telus simcard. The phone now asks for a sim unlock code, when the telus sim card is inside. I have just installed wanamlite 13.0 rom. The phone is rooted, and galaxy s unlock app doesnt seem to work.
A couple of questions. In order to unlock the sim, should I put in the bell simcard, then run the unlocking apps, then get code, write it down. Shut down phone, then install the telus sim card, restart and put in the code from bell sim card?
Im a little fuzzy on the whole process.
The weird thing is that on android 4.0.3 galaxy s unlock will seem to work, and unlock the phone. And it wont re lock after a hard restart. It only seems to stay sim locked under 4.0.4 android.
If anyone could offer some help that would be great. I have also looked into editing nv file with hex editor but I cant seem to find the strings..
Just look for an app called "galaxy sim unlock" and install it and then run it ... u know what to do

Hi, i have some problems with No Sim Card detected on Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 from T-Mobile (Austrian)
Firstly i unlocked the phone at the shop and was really unlocked on all sim cards but than i did a factory reset and the phone no longer detects sim card from other carriers, it only detects sim card from T-Mobile, It dosen't even shows the menu when you turn on the phone for network unlock.
I tryed using those secret codes to show the network unlock menu but they didn't work since the phone was updated to 4.3 firmware.
So i followed this guide on androible downgrade-galaxy-s3-i9300-android-4-3-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-firmware
To downgrade to 4.1.2 firmware along with provided modem file. The secret codes now do show menu's but when i click on UMTS RF NV it says it's not supported.
Also instead of downgrading to T-Mobile 4.1.2 Firmware i downgraded it to Orange 4.1.2 Firmware hope that dosen't effects it in anyways? Phone otherwise works just fine IMEI Number shows OK.
I tryed 2 different SIM cards from orange none of them worked, it only detects SIM from T-Mobile.
To recap it all agean: I wish to unlock this phone so i can use different SIM card's but the phone is on NO Sim card, emergency calls only but when i insert T-Mobile Sim it works, Also there is no Network Unlock Menu shown durning turn on or reset since i already Unlocked the phone once with a code. Does anyone has any clue how to fix this or unlock it without rooting the phone.
