Just to make sure. You tried galaxysim unlock. It is different than galaxy s unlock. Galaxy s unlock is no longer working on Jelly Bean.

It is paid right ?
The one on the forum is not. Get it from the play store and you will have to pay.

Thanks a lot
So basically the answer is this :-
Galaxy S Unlock doesnt work for JB and ICS.
You can use galaxy Sim Unlock to unlock your phone running ICS or JB
You got it

You have to find a Rogers rom somewhere, maybe on www.sammobile.com/firmware and flash it with Odin. Or else google around. This forum is for the Inernational version of the S3. Look in the US/Canadian thread.
You`re in luck here you find info:
PDA:I727RUXLF3
CSC:I727RRWCLF3
Phone: I727RUXLF3
Android Version: 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich
source: Samsung Canada
*facepalm*
Well that explains your problem.
That rom is for the INTERNATIONAL VERSION ONLY.
This forum is for the INTERNATIONAL VERSION ONLY.
your need the version for the north American version.

See post 4 above and find a rogers rom in the US forum and flash it with Odin. I would get a jig to get into downloadmode.

Best bet is to head over to the forum for the at&t, sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon versions, nothing you will get here will work for your phone, they all share the same hardware whereas the international one is completely different.

The you'll need a jtag. Search for a repair shop nearby and ask them if they can jtag your phone. Costs a few bucks but allows you to access download mode again.

I purchased an unlock code so I can lend my phone to a buddy for a few weeks (I'm on Telus, he's on Rogers). Unfortunately, I don't think the ability to unlock your device has been cooked into CM yet. If it has been, can someone post a tutorial on how? If it hasn't, can someone direct me to a stock Gingerbread ROM using the v20a baseband?
EDIT: My "problem" is the inability to find a place to punch my code in. I've already tried “2945#*500#”, "2945#*71001#", and "*#865625#" all the while having a non-recognized SIM inserted into the phone. No result.
When I unlocked mine I had to go to 2.3.3. I just loaded dynamite for the unlock and then restored cm.

HI everyone ....
i am not new to XDA but new to s3......
why does my brand new galaxy s3 which i bought yesterday has Vodafone apps and widgets.... its international then why..i bought this from Pakistan and there is NO such carrier as VODAFONE in Pakistan. i bought this its was brand new sealed.
info= pebble blue
=16gb
=baseband=i9300bulg2
build=imm76d.i9300bublg3
also i know the baseband is of another country and might be able to flash and remove this but my question is why.......................this phone was completly brand new sealed when i opened it yesterday and has vodaphone apps (bloatware) like wth..... ....... should i send it back or something lol.
EDIT = FLASHED UK ROM NOW I HAVE ANY NO NETWORK SIGN
UPDATE= SO AFTER THE NO SIGNAL ISSUE THE PHONE HAS BEEN SHOWN TO MANY TECHNICIANS BY THE SELLER AND FINALLY I WILL GET MY PHONE BACK TOMORROW ITS PRACTICALLY USELESS AND NO
SIGNAL TILL NOW GONNA FLASH FIRMWARE THAT IT CAME WITH ...TOMORROW....THATS MY ONLTY CHANCE.....
Update 3---- flashed stock firmware ....same.....but now it's says no service and that no signal sige
UPDATE--4 fixxed it with a modem patch..
-----------------new post below----http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601-----
HERE IS THE fix^^^
You'll probably find its bought from the UK or anywhere else in Europe, flashed in Pakistan, then made available to sell....just flash UK firmware and it should be fine
anyone interested in blu-ray steelbooks, holla at your boy
You have bought a Vodaphone SGS3 .
Why you need to ask the seller .
As said looks like you have been sold an import .
jje
My s3 is a Vodafone import. Use galaxsim unlock to check if it's not networked locked. But since you can use your aim straight out of the box you should be good. Then Just flash a rom as speedyjay suggested.

Have you checked to see if the phone is network locked? Download galaxsim from the market and check your status.

Use one of the many efs tools and back up your efs, just in case it messes up. Then flash theroom again, then wipe data.

Just saw your post about nv_data error. If the stock flash isn't working it may be time to visit the Samsung service centre.
Try downloading roms from other countries, if it doesn't work then the service centre is your only option.

Hey all,
Great forum here full of resources. I have a quick question about my Samsung Vibrant. I had unlocked it and then upgraded it to ICS Passion. Is is still unlocked after the Android upgrade or will I need to unlock it again? Thanks!
I believe it's still unlocked.
Your phone will stay unlocked forever. Like mine.

Hi,
This is my first post and have a few questions about my phone. I recently rooted my s3 and flashed the siyah kernel by CWM and also flashed jkay framework. I am going to Europe for two and a half weeks and would like to unlock my phone. I have read about using the dialer to unlock the phone. But it only works on 4.1.1 and my phone is 4.1.2 so I was thinking of dual booting my phone with my current stock rom and a stock 4.1.1 and then unlocking it. I was wondering if this would work.
I have another question is there a way to tell if my bootloader is unlocked. I've researched this and eople say of the Samsung logo stays for more than a second its locked. I have also read people saying only the verzion one is locked. When my phone boots I get the siyah logo then the 3 UK boot animation then the Samsung logo glowing for about 3 secs.
I am grateful for any help. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
the bootloader is not locked on this device.
Thx do you have any idea if it would carrier unlock my device
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
If you're rooted, use galaxsim unlock to sim unlock the device. Bootloader lock is completely unrelated. Its only locked on verizon phones

Price of unlocking via the play store us cheaper than a replacement motherboard so do test your EMMC for sds as per the "sudden death - are you covered?" Thread in general. At least make sure you're fully aware of the risks before flashing 4.1.1

Ok so I managed to get it unocked. At least thats what it says on my phone. But when I restart it and put another sim in. It asks me for an unlock code. I used galaxiSim unlocked. And downloaded busy box. But am a little confused what was I suppose to do with busy box?

Use this file to unlock your phone. Busybox enables the app to unlock your phone it is used by many apps. Have you actually installed Busybox or just downloaded the app.
