Hello everyone,
I'm trying to unlock my Samsung Galaxy S3 from METROPCS 4G (SCH-R530M)
I've rooted and installed (Busybox) Voodoo unlock SIM, SIM unlocker and others apps... but they all say SCH-R530M is incompatible...
Is there other method that I can unlock it?
Thanks anyways. :fingers-crossed:
Dial #@#@@[email protected]@#@#!!#@#@@@!!! or Use this metod to Unlock it, should work

1st you need to root it ! go on "original android development" find the tutorial for rooting and do it
after you root you can go to android market and search for unlock sgs2 or just type "chainfire" and you gona see the application to unlock you phones for all networks
my android version is 2.3.5 will this still work?

Not sure how to unlock SGS2, it already has ICS, could anybody advise ? Thanks
Are we talking sim unlock? If so search market for sim unlock and use the chinfire or helroz ones.
I had no luck with chainfires but the helroz one worked perfectly.
Mine was locked to orange.

I believe device needs to be rooted first ? And yes - i need sim unlock
yes both those apps need root, but should defo do the sim unlock for you. worked for me

It worked ! chainfire's failed but helroz did the job
and of course in this case you lose your warranty, right?

I've purchased the Straight Talk (Tracfon) Samsung Galaxy S2 Model SGH-S959G. However, the sim is locked. Is there anyway that I can unlock it and also root the phone?
Please help me.

So New Kernel == Unlock?

That thread shows how to install a new kernel on the device, which is great. But does that mean it is also unlocked (besides rooted)?
Thanks

Nope, there used to be an app to unlock it, downloaded it from google play store, but I think you can only find it here at xda developers now.
I think you need to Odin the i777 firmware to it before you can use the app to unlock.

I have tryed to unlock my I9300 using maually and using the voodoo app, I have noticed that when I type: *#7465625# the unlock status doesn't show up and therefore the unlock was unsuccessfull, Is this a hardware fault? Shall I return it to samsung? Anyone experienced the same problem?
I was on JJB 4.1.2 (Branded (theree))
Downgraded to (4.1.1) Branded
then 4.1.1 unbranded
Now I am on 4.0.4 (UK unbranded)
Thanks in advance for any help

So I can't check my unlock status because samsung has stoped/blocked this service in the S2 and S3? as I can't check the unlock status on my S2 either. But I can check the unlock status on my Galaxy Pocket
I have contact my vendor and have been toled that I would be charged £15.35 which is a lot for an unlock.
I have looked at the GalaxySim app which is for £2.50
So there is no method out there to enable me to extract the unlock code? I mean the code is somewhere in the device, because when an unlock code is typed in, the device checks if it is the correct one and it does that by comparing it with a code in one of the internal files. Please correct me if I am wrong

About the going price might be tenner on a market stalI have looked at the GalaxySim app which is for £2.50

No idea all i said is i think Voodoo does not work now .
Try Googling is what i would do UK try the money saving expert forums .
Fifteen notes saves all the hassle .
