Hi people - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a small question, my phone got sim locked last week. And i gave it to a phone shop to unlock. They coulndt unlock the phone. Instead they rooted it. And i read here on xda sammy Q&A and found the voodo unlock app. This works now although i think i cant reboot because then it will lock again. My question is, can i (through kies) update my phone to JB without destroying my phone ? And will the root get unrooted??
Ty for response.
Ps im fairly new to the xda community and the world of rooting. Ds

New to the world of the search engine as well .
JB is not released
Kies if it updates a rooted phone will remove root and will relock the sim .
Go to sammobile.com and pay for an unlock .

Good question! Ask 3 UK Customer Service.. I think it is last in England who lock the phone :crying:

Hi.
Well the phone was unlocked the i9300 model. But I bought it abroad and traveled back to Sweden. I used the galaxy sim unlock software and gladly paid 17 sek for it. Now the phone works like a charm.
Ty for all replies.
Cheers

Yes and yes. You will lose root and you will get locked. Unlock it the same way you unlocked it now....If you buy a unlock code from your service provider than it will be forevermore...

thank you for the information. however, It was't me who rooted/unlocked it it was someone that the vendor sent me to
so I'm wondering if you have a useful link to an Unlocking guide and/or rooting the S III

Use this link for rooting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
Use this for unlocking http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846451&highlight=voodoo
Both procedures are fairly simple. Read the instructions well have a good idea of what and how you are going to do the procedure.
AND when you use Odin make sure repartition is NOT ticked!!!!!!! NOT ticked.
Thats it good luck
Any way to kill that update notification? Keeps asking every 3 hours....

Try Settings -> About device -> Software update and switch off Auto update and then reboot. Might work though I'm not positive because the phone already knows there's an update now. Alternatively, install it!

No one replied because the answer was in there. It's compatible with international versions, including Korean version. (says to see fixes) I used this method myself but mine is AT&T. I have no experience with international devices and don't want to give you bad information, so:
1) read all the instructions
2) read all the instructions again
3) print or have these instructions handy when proceeding
4) good luck
Caution:
- Use pudding specified for GB version only since you're on GB.
- Do no flash OTA (over the air) updates once unlocked. After that, everything will be flashed in recovery.

I can't help. I have no idea about the differences between US and international version. I don't know what baseband you need or even if you need it. I've never flashed a baseband, so how can you expect me to tell you which one to use?
As far as pudding, it was a while back, but I think I downloaded a file and flashed it through ADB and then unlocked it using fastboot. You need to download drivers for the Atrix along with fastboot and the correct pudding file. I can't help you any further.
If you're lost and reading isn't helping, consider selling your device and getting something different, like Samsung. They're easier to work with and have better support.

but KOREAN ATRIX USERS NEED TO FLASH TELSTRA SBF
(OLYEM_U4_1.4.2_SIGNED_USAOLYEMTELSTRA_P029_A020_M005_HWolympus_1g_1FF.sbf)
BEFORE INT'L UNLOCKER SBF
otherwise the error message "Failed to boot : 3" (something like that)
& if you have MB861 upgrade to gingerbread and use fastboot, worked for me w/o sbfs

I am in gb now is it true i can go straight to fastboot?

[Q]About Bootloader-Orange

Hi all developers and members!
I have a question ... I have Xperia P and I have locked bootloader of orange but I took the sim-lock the bootloader but despite this I still have the "unlock alloved no".
So i call to Orange Poland on this issue and they told me that if I remove the sim-lock is a status change to "unlock alloved yes".
I also wrote a developer from sony and wrote to me that sometimes the status freezes or dies and even though I already unlocked.
What do you think about this? try to unlock?
Thank you and best regards
If you could remove the simlock(once your contract ends or before from some local shop) and then if it changes to yes then you could try to unlock. Though in some cases fastboot is disabled in device and doesn't gets enabled even after simlocking and unlocking. But you could give it a shot
Cheers,
AJ
Try to unlock, you have nothing to lose, in the worst case ur smartphone will reboot, nothing risky I am also curiuos, if it works then lets simunlock (I'm also in Orange Poland)
Sorry for my bad English but can he put it ...
Lock sim-lock I have removed the code from Sony Poland
And here the problem is that it is still unlock alloved: no
So as I mentioned I contacted Orange Poland and they told me the same thing that should be changed to: yes
I tried to upload a clean soft but despite this it is still the same.
They told me that sometimes this status is killed or crashes and is already unlocked bootloader possibility
Also I would like to hear some more "effective counsel"
I can unlock but I know that I can lose by a phone
Blabla - dont pay attention

I repead: i have sim unlock via code from Sony PL,
I called sony Poland, the said there isn't and won't be possibility to unlock such devices, the redirected me to their partner who is working for them as a technical service, they have said there is a possibility (didn't desribed how) , they also haven't said about the payments, but I doubt it would be free (or cheap)
Again, write me stupid ... never told me you called quite different from what you write. ,,
FAST BOOT is a lock which only assumes the orange kind of thing.
* Bootloader unlock even though I have Status: not only to do that I need to have "unlocked fast boot" on orange admitted to me "dude" that you can unlock your phone by sending them and the cost will be about 50/60 zł.
Of course directed me here on this forum but apparently in the wrong section I wrote quickly and so does not know anything here :fingers-crossed:

I do not like people which lie ...
You write something I do not know .. PW already wrote about this as you do not write to me here their "unnecessary response"
I am not a liar so hold your tongue, I only told what I had known... With this post I finish this nonsense discussion. Many people unlocked their devices with network code, what didn't in process made a possibility to unlock bootloader...
So send your device wherever you want to...

The same thing happened to my d686, just send it to a LG service with your warnity, it's best not to tell them it was rooted. Just tell them this happened after updating thru LG Mobile Support Tool. They will change the phone's motherboard. Here, in Romania, this worked!

Trying to root honor 7

Hi guys.
I am having issues getting root access on my phone.
The story:
I have just bought a brand new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV s-edition. This car have an app to be used with Android or iPhone, but the car only got wifi (with horrible range) without internet capabilities. So I did some investigating, I thought I could have a phone in my car, connected to my cars wifi, and then just remote connect to that phone with an app like teamviewer.
I tested this out with my nephews honor 7 and I was able to make it work. Now, I thought to buy a phone with biggest battery, and fell on a Lenovo P2.
However, I tried everything, but nothing would work (setting "mobil data always active" in developer options did nothing. So I asked my nephew if he wanted to switch phones. He was super-happy to do so...
But now I am totally unable to do what I did earlier: connect to my car with my iPhone through the honor 7. So I am now trying to root the phone to be able to use full advantage of the application : Super download.
So, I have come to the place where I have installed a new bootloader: twrp.
But I am unable to get root access. I have tried several options installed through the bootloader, but nothing seems to work.
Who would think that being able to connect to two networks at the same time in 2017 should me so difficult with a phone?
It's either on the wifi(intranet) or the mobile 3g/4g, but never both... Oh noo

, that's impossible... Yes to send people to the moon in 1969 is fine, but to connect the phone on two networks at same time in 2017 is impossible? Who could know...
But yeah, if I could get root access on my phone u could try the app Super Download and try to connect to both intranet(wifi) and internet(mobile-data) at the same time.
Any help, or will this app not work, event with root?

There is no error message. The phone seems to do its thing, but when it is finished and booted up again, there is no root.
