[Q] Unlocking an unlocked s3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi.
i bought a sim free s3 last year and used various uk sims in it.
then went to pakistan last year and took it with me. sims wouldnt work so had to get it rooted to work.
the guy said it had an international lock on it where you cant use it with other countries sims.
anyone got any idea i thought simfree means unlocked anywhere in the world.

dude, look through the section list again and tell me where the questions go. then hit "report" on the post and ask for it to be moved to the correct section. thanks

glebun i really do enjoy reading many of your comment bru even had quite a few chuckles, but dude really this "vigilante policing" really wont bring you anything mate. the xda doesn't really take to self-privatization, believe me i have made this mistake myself and nearly acquired a ban,
im not putting this post to stifle you or poke-fun,. more like wanting to preserve your attendance here with us :cyclops:
plus you could bring much more to the threads then then this. pretty much every other post you make gets a thanks, but these kind wont buddy. the mods have got they're jobs, enjoy your time here mate :highfive:
when we were new to this we were noobs too
edit: i have given you a thanks too show i mean no hate here

In that case presume you have reported the OP to the mods .
Why not ask the mods not to have a separate help section .

most noobs know that help section is for asking for help. being a noob doesn't mean being unable to read.
If I get banned for this - so be it. But people who post without bothering to read the section list and the stickies deserve it more. Feel free to disagree

What happen to those guys? They saved my life about a year ago. They have to have something up there sleeve for this one. It only took me a few minutes to get fully rooted and have clockwork mod recovery. Good things come to those who wait? I'm tired of waiting. So what do I do? Keep waiting until one of you genius devs to figure it out.

Why would you create a new thread in the DEVELOPMENT section? Mods please move to GENERAL or delete all together.

For all we know they may be working on a root method but with the lack of success of Gingerbreak and other one-click root methods I would guess that they, like many others, are having a hard time finding a useable exploit...
We are certainly working on something and will post if and when it's ready.

Its more fun to pick on people, especially newcomers than to actually help them, or at least it seems that way.
Submitting items in appropriate sections are a damned good thing.....but do people actually give a ratsass about catching "hell" or a threat of getting "flamed" on a freakin' forum?!

Agreed, takes 10 posts to post in dev section. His 11th post is this crap!
I've been a member here for a long time, but do not speak much as most questions I would have about any of my devices have clearly been discussed.
I also understand where new members would not know much about whats going on at times, but its nothing more than a simple search. I (and all other members new/old) have to search like everyone else. Its really not hard.
Its also believed with the great devs that are doing what they can (and I THANK YOU for that) to get root available for our device. I'm SURE they will have something up (as in a new thread) that they have achieved what we have been waiting for. Its going to happen. Be appreciative that we even have devs that are making the time to find out all that they can. Without them, we'd be in a world of hurt.
Just my .18 cents.
You 'section police' people are fkn pathetic.
Seriously hate coming to this forum now.
"I also understand where new members would not know much about whats going on at times, but its nothing more than a simple search. I (and all other members new/old) have to search like everyone else. Its really not hard."
Of course. No one argues with that.
Its how they're told that.
Members with 5000 posts don't have liscence to be a**holes. They're no more 'valuable' than someone with 1 in terms of basic civility.
And after 1301 posts...this is your offering?! Lol?
I'll take his 11th!

Think of "development" like a business...professionalism is important in business, no? There is a job that is being done here.
If you are looking for the tavern take it to General, if you are looking for the visitors assistance center take it to Q&A. This is all spelled out in the rules. If you have no "developing" to contribute to the "development" please take it elsewhere.
Posting non-development related posts is like showing up drunk to work, and your post is like an even drunker guy proclaiming how BS the professionalism is at said business.
I'll shut up now, as this is unrelated to development.

SGS2 ATT Official Stock ROM 2.3.4

Hi,
I have been searching the forum for ATT Official 2.3.4 stock ROM. I am new to Android and planning to put in a Custom ROM in my SGS2. But before I do that, I wanted to have the Official ATT 2.3.4 ROM so that in case any issues I can flash that back. Also I did read about keeping the flash counter intact. I primarily want to be prepared before I start with it. Please share if there is a link available.
Thanks
Seriously? The Development forum is only 4 pages long and you're too lazy to even skim thread titles there?
I suggest you go back and read the XDA rules again. Search before posting.

I was looking through the development forum as well and did find out there were some ROMs which were already rooted. I was looking for a unrooted ROM and maybe would have missed when I was looking through. That does not mean I am lazy... I am new here and did ask for help after trying!

Your reactive comment is really uncalled for. People are here to help, and they do not get paid to be here, but some find it a little tiring when people appear to ask questions before they even look for the answer.
I understand that to a new person, sometimes you don't even have a point of reference to know what you are looking for. What you need can be found in the development forum as "Unbrick/return to stock by Entropy512."
Also refer to the sticky topic "Library" in the development section, and the sticky topic "FAQ" in the general section.
Edit: OK I see you removed your reactive comment, so I removed it from the quote also.
My bad..sorry about the reactive comment.
I am a new user to Android and just moved from iPhone. I do appreciate the DEVS work and understand it is an extra responsibility for you.
I had rooted and unlocked my SGS2 but being extra cautious not to brick it when flashing the ROM. I maybe should have read through all the posts irrespective of the title
Thanks Guys.. I got the thread.. I will pick it up from there
do you have the link for official stock rom that you found?
I mean the 2.3.4
THank you

If we spoonfed every new person that comes here to XDA we wouldn't have enough room for actual development dude. So what you are suggestion is basically ridiculous. I want to come here for development. Not a bunch of links and "how to" posts. Searching is a good thing.

I tried searching, but a lot of times, its confusing on which Rom is actually the stock version which would return everything as before.
I looked at restoring the phone thread and couple of others which also say they are stock rom, hence the confusion.
There is no point in fighting. I got my answer, so its ok if people got mad at me for asking a question. They will forget about it in a couple of hours, and I will try to search a little more next time.

downgrade to 2.3.5 is it possible?

can we downgrade to 2.3.5..?? bcoz some games works better on 2.3.5...
Why a new thread for this question? There is already a thread to ask all your doubts and stuff. Use that please. Answer to your question:- No! This phone was released with 2.3.6 unlike GT S5830.....which was released with froyo initially. So they have got all updates since froyo. We have got only 2.3.6.

Lmfao. That's like calling a cop a prick for giving you a speeding ticket when you were speeding. I told you that you posted in the wrong section because you did. There are rules on this forum. Also, you don't need to post at all to find what you're looking for. Hell, you don't even need to be on this website. Don't come around here expecting things to be handed to you. Look who else even attempted to "lend you a hand." Be happy with what you got. People need to learn how to do things on their own which is why a lot of us encourage that. If you see that as someone being a prick then I feel bad for you. I got 99 problems and knowing how to search before asking questions isn't one. You're welcome.
