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!

Hi people

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

Hey bro, what do you exactly want? Your image is not appearing, try re-uploading it. And if you are asking how to unbrick the phone, then just flash a stock ROM using the flashtool by connecting the phone in fastboot mode. Or if you are asking how to install the update, then you will have to download the FTF and flash it using flashtool. But then you will loose root access. No worries, root it again using the root toolkit bu DoomLord, it's available in the development section. Or if you mean to say something else, feel free to reply.

You are mistaken. The update is of huge 650MB. But I upgraded to it from ICS. So maybe if you are on JB you will find this a short update.
The update have minor bug fixes and the phone is less laggy now. The dialer scroll issue is gone. But there's a problem with the camera app now. Sometimes green and black lines come on to the screen while clicking the photo. Although they don't appear on the photo. I am facing GPS and network issues also. But they are not being experienced by everyone. Feel free to update because you can always flash the old ROM.
album and walkman

I am using IND Airtel network,balance cannot be checked in this device as USSD option is not available by default
question is if i root my device or install custom rom ,can i access my carrier?is there any possibilities brick my phone?
can i install MIUI Rom for my device
please suggest stable and supported rom for my device
roms do not affect network lock. flashing a new rom will not unlock your phone if thats what you mean and also it will not give you a feature your network provider doesn't support. you can flash any rom built for this phone but there are always chance or brick if not done right. do alot of research and read all the guides before you start and take your time, the worst thing is to rush it and brick your phone
I cant find stock rom for my version ..

Of course you can, root access just allow you to install mod or edit system files. There are no conflict between unlocked bootloader and root access

You need the unlock code from Sony.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/
Use the blu (bootloader unlock) function from flashtool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Edit....it wipes everything so back up what you want to save, and a nandroid made before unlocking will relock. Use an app like titanium backup or mybackup pro.
