I would like to carrier unlock my SGS3 without rooting it. Is there a way to do so? I am willing to pay for such a service.
I will buy the phone from Comviq (Tele2) in Sweden.
Anyone who have tried one of those online services where you buy an unlock code?
Code will work but Rooting is easy

I know rooting is easy but I don't want you do it. I have to unlock it "legaly"
Is there a tested website that we know work?
Thanks.
Legally ask network to unlock it .

They won't. You need to have the phone at least a year before they give you the code. Does anyone know a trusted website where you can unlock the international SGS3?
BTW! Can someone give me the link to "rooting method" carrier unlock? I might just root it if I can't find a trusteed website.

Hi! I'm thinking about getting myself an Galaxy S3, but the one I've been offered is locked to another swedish carrier. I'm using Telia and the phone is locked to "3".
Is there a great carrier unlock-software with minor (or no at all) bugs or required reboots? I'm also thinking about installing Cyanogenmod or another Custom ROM to it..
Is this the one and only great solution that fits me the best?

Sorry but that is the best I can find. Although this doesnt look too difficult. The codes on the phone seem to be better encripted than on other phones so therefore software isnt an option.
Try phoning the carrier you are locked on even if it wasn't your contract and see what they can offer you! 3 Seem to be better about unlocking than other carriers as they are based in the uk they are required by law.
hope this helps

Peoples should stop to use this fix that may be dangerous in some case
Better to stick with GalaxSim Unlock for now
It really isnt because if there are any problems you can replace the old files and in an extreme case you can reflash your phone!

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.

Can we unlock the. ATT Galaxy S 2 using the unlock app?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Same question here. Mine will get here on Tuesday...I do know there are a bunch of methods to sim unlock i9100 though.
So... long story short, the GS2 still uses nv_data.bin files like on the GS1.
Of course, Samsung has encrypted/obscured plain text access to the unlock codes within this binary file. However, I do believe the folks over on the i9100 forum have figured it out, so it's probably not going to be too much of a stretch to get the AT&T GS2 to work too.
The phone literally just dropped though, so give people a few days to actually get the devices in their hands, get nice stable root and all that (already done maybe even), and from there, carrier unlock will come.
Or, if you're the impatient type, and don't mind the chance of screwing something up, try some of the methods from the i9100 forum and see if they work!

That's awesome. May I ask whether you had rooted your S2 before you ran the unlock program?
Thanks a billion.

Yup, rooting is required to unlock.
Sorry, I'm fairly new to the term "unlocking" phones. Does this mean that you can use with any carrier? Is there anything else that "unlocking" a phone does that a normal one can not?
Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,
My friend can send (Austria) me this phone but is sim locked.
Is there good way unlock the phone?
Docomo unlocks at point of purchase for a fee.
Check provider to see if they will also.
I'm buying from a friend, so it will be locked to O2, what's the easiest/cheapest way to have it unlocked?
Thanks.
O2 send the unlock code free of charge on request, it took 17 days for mine to arrive but no questions asked and it worked.
Ok, cool. Do you just call them up? Or pop in one of their shops?

Andy O2 models of the phone have a bootloader that's locked and it's not unlockable yet. You testing just using the phone or you considering to hack it?
At the end of it all, I'll be reviewing it. I did want to put ICS on it though. About 15 minutes ago I've seen the bootloader of this can't be unlocked though
Nothing that can be done?
**EDIT** Sorry, silly me, you've said not unlockable yet Thanks.

One thing you can do though is to use the flash tool to flash the latest update..73 has had positive results in improving battery
I think it is already .73
**EDIT** It's not, downloading the update now.

How can we do this?
I've been reading all over trying to figure it out!
Also, I'm guessing T-Mobile would try to charge for Unlocking the phone?

Believe so. When I boot up it has the T-Mobile logo.
I'm having real issues with lag and Xperia Activity Home force closing and the phone completely locking up, so I'm hoping I can stick .73 on it.
Hello. I need to know, how I can unlock the One. I bought a few days ago One of AT&T by Swappa, locked to AT&T, I checked the price of unlock code, and came out between 5 to 30USD. I received it last night, and immediately buy the code for 13USD. I get the code, and to apply the code rejects me; incorrect code. By insecurity, buy another code, and this time came over twice. It was faster, but the result? the same code, and the same result ... Wrong code. What I can do in this case? I hope your help, thank you very much
Cheers
Just call AT&T and tell them you are going over seas for a few weeks. They will give you the code no problem. I've done it 4 times. You can just open a chat box on their site.

I pay for the code, because I live in Chile xD
Although estimated, thank you very much, but in another thread helped me with something so silly, like leaving the stock ROM. used the Google Edition (I used multiple computers with customs and stock ROM, but never happened to me before)
Thank you very much again

Yes, the truth is that I suck at English, so everything I write illegibly translate it by Google translate ... I do not even understand what I say sometimes
Which web site did you buy the unlock code from ? I'll help you out with the unlock process.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
1. The phone has to be STOCK (original rom) for unlock to work.
2. You need to put a foreign SIM in it (i'm guessing since you're in chile) you have.
3. When you turn it on it should ask you for the code. If that doesn't work. Check #1.
I would go to the dev/Q&A section and find the stock AT&T HTC ONE RUU to revert the phone to stock to make sure that it is.

I just got another mega, this time I got a Att version. I spoke with a customer service rep. and got my unlocked code bcuz I purchased full price, I ask her about bloats ect ect. Ok this is what she told me, once I have unlocked my phone I have full control of my phone.. Hmmm really? I dont know if she knew what i was talking about.. then I ask about secure bootlock portion of the phone, she reply once your unlocked you could do what ever you want...:what:
I have the unlocked code, how would i unlock the darn thing? every phone is different ways to do it.
I want to know if its true or not that once unlocked we can do what ever including custom rom...

What I think you got from her was the network unlock code, all that does is allow you to move to another provider using the same phone.
So whats the difference between network unlock and phone unlock?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I527 using Tapatalk 4
Network unlock is as above ^, the bootlock you mentioned in your first post is there to stop you removing their software, it's not something that you can change with a code. You need to remove the boot lock before you can replace the os with a custom one. Before you attempt to do anything like this I advise reading up on it, you don't want to brick another phone. The information is easily found by using google search.

No boot unlock yet so no custom recovery or custom ROMs.
