Hi, you don't need to sim unlock your s3 to root it. Look for cf root 6.4, or cf auto root, or Samsung galaxy toolkit. Read up on these and choose your method.

This method works 100% if you have an i9300. I rooted mine a couple of days ago and it's also sim locked.

1. Use Galaxy SII unlock code finder by chainfire to unlock your phone: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092451
If it doesn't work then move to next step:
2. Backup your /efs partition with this tool: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
- You can repeat the backup process twice just to be sure.
3. After completing 2.) Use this app to unlock your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helroz.galaxysunlock&feature=nav_result
Once you are done, let me know

Seems flashing is not a good idea, I don't want to be in trouble , so my phone now is unlocked and working very well, so this is enough for the moment.
Thanks guys much appreciated your help

i am a noob and i need answers. i found how to quick root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969 but i want to know if its safe, after rooting how i can unroot? and if i unroot i will keep warranty? and also if this is the only way to unlock sim! Cuz i just want to unlock sim !
PS!: I tried with GalaxSim Unlock but didnt work cuz no granted root access but maybe its another sim unlock method without root like android 4.1.1 method:
1.Open the phone app on your device and enter the following code in it:
*#197328640#
2.You will be presented with a menu. Go to ‘[1] UMTS’, then ‘[1] Debug Screen’, then ‘[8] Phone Control’, followed by ‘[6] Network Lock’, and finally, ‘Options’.
In the Options menu, select ‘[3] Perso SHA256 OFF’.
Now wait for about 30 seconds, and then press ‘Menu’ and select ‘Back’ to go back one step to the ‘[6] Network Lock’ screen.
Once there, select ‘[4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZE’.
Wait for around one minute, and reboot your device.
please use Google, it's all here

and if i unroot i will keep warranty?
Only if you follow the remove root guide in full .
and also if this is the only way to unlock sim!
No pay your network to unlock or pay a service centre to unlock >> probably the best way for you to unlock . Or even try an unlock your phone forum .

S3 has already unlocked bootloader from default. You just need to root your device, flash a recovery and flash a ROM through recovery. Easy
