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

No idea ask Samsung .

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 .

I don`t know if removing the simlock is a reason to deny warranty (my guess ,and i`am sure for 99% it is not), it still remains a Samsung device and defects/faults should be covered by Samsung. You can unlock your phone here http://www.sammobile.com/unlock/ and it costes 15 euro`s i believe. Maybe there are free apps around, so google around and check Play and maybe there is be a way to do it for free.

There are a number of posts regarding this, use this and enter
unlock samsung galaxy s3 i9300 in the all words here box you should be able to find one that works from all the posts
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
Go Direct!!!
I had several phone's with Orange, the best way is to go direct! I know your contract has to be over (but that is probably why your here!)
They do charge £25 as an unlocking fee but you are guaranteed your unlocking code within a month. there are other options although it is always best to got to your carrier.
P.S if you switch to O2 they give you your unlocking code for free (even during your contract!!!)
Hope this helps,

You can use GalaxSimUnlock too and use this forum for found a tuto
I'm afraid if i use GalaxSimUnlock i will lost IMEI and the warranty will be lost too .. but I thought if i install an other official ROM from samsung-updates.com ( not from orange ) it will be unlocked ?

YOUR CHOICE SUGGEST YOU PAY FOR AN UNLOCK CODE THEN .
but I thought if i install an other official ROM from samsung-updates.com ( not from orange ) it will be unlocked

Hello Guys!
I've try to cut it short.I would like to debrand (sim unlock) my SGS3, I used a tool named GalaxSim Unlocker, but it sad
"Either your nv_data md5 file is inexistent/wron or Samsung md5 function has changed. Stopping here to prevent eventual errors."
What is it? How can I fix this? or there is other method to network unlock my phone ?
HELP ME
THANK YOU GUYS BEFORE
Best way at present is to purchase an unlocking code from your network. The previously posted free methods don't work anymore due to changes by Samsung to the efs folder.

What prices am I looking at for sim unlock?
TY
Is it possible to downgrade the rom and the modem for the one click method ?
Cost for a code varies, contact your network and a few repair ships to compare.
Yes, you could downgrade to older baseband -but only if you have a backup of your pre-MG4 efs folder and know what you're doing. Chances of bricking the phone are fair and you'll be stuck on that baseband, any upgrade will again lock the network.
That's why I said a code is currently the best option.
OK

No, it isn't. What you proposed isn't possible and wouldn't unlock the phone.

But why the free way work on the galaxy S4 with the efsv2... ?
Any method to unlock? I tried GalaxSim Unlock, but it doesn't work.
clone imei?
if it is, then flash pathced mk6 modem and kernel.

I mean, my phone is locked on Orange Romania and I want to unlock it, I don't want to clone my IMEI or w/e you gave me...
Unfortunately not like that.
You will need to contact our carrier or pay to have it done.
it's possible if your rooted
How?
