SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 Software Update - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Hello,
I got my phone Galaxy sgh-i747 as a gift and it had at&t simcard and the android version was 4.1.1 but now i no longer have that sim card and unable to get any at&t simcard to make the software update (i've been told that i needed at&t simcard to perform the update). Long story short i need a way to perform the latest software update to my phone since it does't appear in the settings or in kies.
Help?!
(Sorry if if this is the wrong forum)

Unlocked HTC Titan not getting 8107 update

I carrier unlocked my phone ATT Titan on Friday. I tested by installed a T-mobile SIM and i was receiving network signal on the T-mobile network. However, I'm not receiving the 8107 update. Is this not the same as having a debranded phone? I debranded my Samsung Focus and the update followed soon after. Can someone please shed some light on this for me? Thanks
its not the same as having a debranded phone ! .
the process of unlocking you mentioned just allows you to use other sim cards on an at&t device . but your device is still an at&t device .
the only true way of unbranding your phone now is to flash an unbranded rom . which i think its still not possible as of now .

DOH!!!!!!! That would explain why my Focus got the update. I flashed it witha custom ROM and then it got the update. So there aren't any custom HTC Titan ROMs?
I have a unlocked titan but i have not got the update yet. Anything i can do to get it?

Have you tried forcing the update through Zune? Search for an update then see if it finds one, If not search again and you will need to unplug your Modem/Lan cable as it searches again, Its a trial and error thing and getting the timing right is the difficult part, I managed to force the 8107 using this method, There should be some threads lurking around somewhere on XDA, Best of luck.
Also remember it is the network carriers who dish out the updates, Maybe if you put an ATT sim back in it may update easier then you can go back to T-mobile etc.
Do you need interop unlock for reg access?

No custom ROMs yet, Don't know about REG access but imagine you would need a dev unlocked device.

The 8107 update. I got it when i searched again. I didnĀ“t have to do anything.
Use the cab sender. That's what i did and install the languages.
Don't even have to be unlocked to use it.

[I9100G] Network lock

Hello,
I received a Galaxy SII I9100G as a present last april in Morocco (I'm in France right now). They told me it was an "unlocked" phone (not bought from any operator).
The phone worked wonders with my SIM card (SFR, a french operator) from april until 2 days ago. It seems like it locked itself all of a sudden and asks me a code to unblock the network. That same SIM card worked well the same morning.
Anyone to explain what happened? I'm confused since I don't understand how it can lock itself without having to change the SIM card/flash/anything...
I called SFR and Samsung France to have the code, each one tells me to call the other.
I rooted my phone and used Galaxy S Unlock, it tells me that the phone is unlocked but after the reboot nothing happens. Tried also Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock, but it doesn't find the code.
I'm quite desperate right now since I'm waiting for some important calls this week and I tried everything, every tutorial but nothing seems to work.
I really don't know what to do to unblock it, I asked for help on many forums, spent yesterday looking for solutions but still nothing.
Please tell me there's a solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help~
Samsung Galaxy SII I9100G
Version: 4.0.3 - I9100GXXLPN
PS: Actually, it does seem to work with a Meditel (moroccan operator) SIM card... Which I don't understand since it was supposed to be unlocked, hence why it worked with my SFT SIM card since april...
Hey i think some persons before you has coneckt it with a Samsung account and locked it now over the samsung dive webside. You can try to flash a new Firmeware to fix it
First, thanks for trying to help me.
I already flashed it with a new firmware (2.3.6 >> 4.0.3, always using official samsung), but still didn't work.
Unless should I go back to a previous firmware?
Any other idea please?

Locked after updating

So this weird thing happened to my Bouygues Telecom Samsung S3... today I just updated it to version Android 4.0.4 and it now asks for a code to allow the use of my current SIM even though prior to updating I was using the same SIM with no problems. The idea is that my phone is now locked to Bouygues Telecom even though it was not before. If anyone could advise me how to get my phone unlocked again it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! =)

[Q] Factory Unlocked S3 from China Flashed w/Official JB ROM GlobeTelecoms Ph

Hi there! I really hope someone could help me
with my problem. Well first of, I'm an entire noob with
Androids as I have been a Nokia loyalist
(sucks to be me). I have a factory unlocked S3 GT-i9300
bought from China and was sent to me
here in the Philippines. I have tried
upgrading it to JB 4.1.1 via OTA and Kies
but I've had encountered roadblocks for
the longest time. That's when a friend of mine suggested to use Odin but the
mofo didn't tell me that there were
other stuff that I need to consider (all
the Phone, PDA and CSC stuff posted in
the first post of this thread). So I
downloaded from www.samfirmware.com an official JB 4.1.1 ROM for Globe Telecoms
Philippines since that's the network that
I'm using and flashed it on my S3 via
Odin. Everything went well except for
the part where I'm being asked for a
network unlock code! WAAAAH! My phone is now locked and I don't
even where it's locked to. Is there a way for me to unlock it again
without having to pay those unlock
code generators? PLEASE HELP!!! TIA!

Help with SIM lock!

Hi I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 by Three Mobile UK. I had got it unlocked from a nearby cellphone shop. It was running perfectly until now on Indian GSM network with original unrooted rom 2.3 gingerbread. But today I flashed Neatrom lite onto it and it is asking me to input the SIM lock code.
I have tried all the apps on market to get the code but all in vain. So please tell if there is a method to bypass this lock as I have a rooted phone.

Be aware that using sim unlock apps can corrupt your IMEI. Backup your efs folder.
Regarding the SIM lock - flash the correct stock ROM for your region (check region code i.e. i9100DBTLPO is germany).
