Hello, I'm wondering if there is a guide or any info at all about rooting the KDDI's SGS3 LTE. I saw a bunch of thread for the NTT DoCoMo version but none about the KDDI version. No idea if they use the same hardware or not.
Root success by flashing CWM recovery and sgs3_rooting_supersu_v3.zip. Those tools are specified for Galaxy S3 NTT Docomo (SC-06D) but they also worked for Galaxy S3 Progre from AU KDDI (SCL21).
Just wondering how to unlock this SCL21, if anybody knows, please share.

I am also trying to find out a way to root my SCL21 but am having no luck. I have tried many of the "Universal 4.0.4 rooting methods" but have had no luck. Brong, would you mind sharing exactly what you did? The threads here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999024 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996940&page=2 warn about using the docomo method because it bricks the phone. Nothing seems to work with our model. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks.

Hi,
First step is flash the CWM recovery via Odin. You can download CWM recovery from here:
https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B...ZhbUE/edit?docId=0B98X7HyfoaGaNzNvR052dUp0Wmc
Choose this file: SC06D-JB-KBC-CWM-V6.0.1.2_r10-recovery-odin.tar.md5
Flash that file in Odin, choose the PDA in Odin.
I assume you already know how to flash via Odin, if you dont know just ask me again or try to browse other thread.
Step two is run the CWM recovery. Also, I assume you already know to get into recovery mode. Make backup first in recovery mode, you need to insert external SD card and save the backup in the card.
Step three, download this file sgs3_rooting_supersu_v3.zip from here:
https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B...ZhbUE/edit?docId=0B98X7HyfoaGaR21wdXZweDdYSXM and save it to the external SD card that you used before.
Step four, run the recovery mode again and choose install from SD card, then choose external sd card and choose the file you donwloaded (sgs3_rooting_supersu_v3.zip). After completing all, reboot your phone and you will see the Super User app. Make sure you download root checker in Play store so you can check whether the phone are rooted or not.
Note: If you run the recovery, the screen will reverse. Dont worry, it works eventhough the screen reverses.
Thats all. I am looking the way to unlock this phone, *#197328640# doesnt work. If you have a clue, please let me know.

I see a Vietnam website with video on youtube. It shows that this phone has been unlocked.
http://choimobile.vn/threads/unlock-samsung-s3-scl21-au-kddi-nhat-ban.2699/
Any idea how to SIM unlock this phone?, really appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Updated:
I found a new thing regarding this phone. This phone doesn't support non LTE sim card, even you have micro sim (3G) card from AU KDDI. I am trying to find other LTE sim card from other carrier in order to check whether this phone works on that sim or not.
May be somebody can explain why this phone doesn't support non LTE sim. In case of Galaxy s3 LTE from NTT Docomo, it works when I used 3G sim (FOMA). I cut the 3G sim to fit the micro slot.
unlock for this phone
well, my purpose is/was to unlock this phone so I followed the samsung galaxy s3/note unlock method from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982
(I have/had this S3 Progre SCL21, the same phone in this thread)
I can access all the menu and procedure from that thread below, despite this phone being stock Android 4.04!
----------------
"Main Menu > [1] UMTS > [1] Debug Screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] Network Lock > Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF > (after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button then select Back, now you are in [6] Network Lock then choose [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ..... wait for a minute then reboot your phone..."
---------------
I put 3G/2G sim card and the phone shows no service. I even put CDMA network sim, no luck. I don't know if this phone is unlocked. I'm wondering if this phone works only with LTE/4g sim. Right now, there's no 4G/LTE in my region
I assume the phone must support all other bands, if properly unlocked.
Now, I'm wandering through the threads and googling.
So far, I'm looking for Jelly Bean 4.1.1 for this phone, which doesn't seem to be available anywhere, even on samfirmware, only stock firmware
Root/flash CWM recovery and try some other unlock method from out there, (after making a backup Stock ROM and sensitive IMEI/NV data of course)
Please keep everyone updated and keep the spirit alive

Actually this phone, SCL21 can be used with LTE sim card only. I already tried to use non LTE sim card from KDDI AU with no luck.
What I am thinking is actually this phone maybe unlock-able by using the procedure as you mentioned (NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ). Since the phone can only be used with LTE sim card, we need to try LTE sim card from other carrier in order to test.
The problem is I dont have other carrier LTE sim card right now, if you have you can try it.
Update: Also I am wondering how to make this phone works with not only LTE/4G but also with 3G/CDMA. I changed the band to automatic, but there is no luck. I think this phone is locked to be used only with LTE/4G sim card. So, if somebody knows how to deal with this matter (make the phone not only accepts LTE/4G sim card, but also 3G/CDMA sim card) please share with us here.

Hi everyone ^_^
I just got the SCL21 about two weeks ago. I think it's really strange that even on the Japanese forums, there is very little info on rooting this model. From everything I've found, some Japanese sites also both say it's OKAY to root using the Docomo SC-06D recovery and Superuser zip while others say that it's NOT safe to use that same method and it will result in a bricked phone. Really odd, conflicting messages I think.
What is even more strange is the apparent issue with the screen "reversing"? One of the Japanese sites literally said the screen becomes "upside down" after flashing the SC-06D recovery.
Brong, since you got the root to work successfully , could you please elaborate on the "reversing" of the screen? Is the image upside down and only during the recovery mode? Also, do you know if the root caused you to lose the "osaifu Keitai" touch feature?
Thanks a lot to Brong and everyone else helping out with this model phone!!

Status of SIM access
Hi,
I tested both a 3G micro SIM and a 4G LTE nano SIM from Softbank in this phone and neither card is recognized. The phone acts as though no SIM is inserted at all. (Complete with the "no smoking" symbol (circle with diagonal line through it) instead of a signal meter. I have confirmed that this phone is indeed sold already SIM unlocked from the factory as the MSL is 000000 just like the Verizon Galaxy S III which is also sold without a SIM lock. Additionally, KDDI lists the SCL21 and all other LTE phones they are selling since the debut last winter as being SIM unlocked devices.
According to some Japanese forums, they are suspecting that this phone has some type of hardware lock (hard locked?)... I contacted the only known person who was successful at using a 3rd party SIM on the Vietnamese Viettel GSM network as in a YouTube video. He wouldn't give me any details except that he must have the phone physically in his shop to modify it and it can't be done remotely. This individual also has screenshots showing the stock ROM version running in Vietnamese which makes me believe that he flashed something to the stock ROM to gain SIM detection of 3rd party cards.. Anyone have any ideas about such a hardware locking mechanism?

my phone need to unlock, please help
He's referring to the service mode. In that case, here are the steps to perform an unlock using the service mode (tested to work ONLY on the docomo models SC-06D and SC-03E; NO GUARANTEE IT WILL WORK ON THE SCL21):
1. Enter service mode by dialing the code in the dialer.
2. Press "UMTS".
3. Press "Debug Screen".
4. Press "Phone Control".
5. Press "Network Lock".
6. Press "Perso SHA256 Off".
7. Menu->Back (if the menu button turns up nothing, then just push "back") then wait 30 seconds.
8. Press "NW Lock NV Data Initallliz" then wait around one minute.
9. Reboot the phone and it SHOULD be unlocked. Works great on the SC-06D and SC-03E, no guarantees with the SCL21. And with the SC-03E newer basebands either hid it away or blocked it out so an older one needs to be flashed in before it will show up for unlocking.
Anyone looking to get one should only do so when they've got a trip to Vietnam in their future (to go get it done in a shop there; they still seem to be the only country with shops doing it) or be using au in Japan.
s3 scl21
that`s the first instruction i found when i was browsing the net and tried it but unfortunately it didnt work...... there are still settings in the service menu and all you have to do is click everything that has something to do with the wcdma to gsm..gsm to wcdma or g to wcdma something like that. There`s also a setting that tells somethin like resetting cant remember the exact word and you have to wait for 90 or 60 secs.and restart the phone .and then go back to changing gsm to wcdma .,there`s a setting also that you have to change the frequency .cant remember the step by step guide but because of my eagerness to use the phone i clicked everthing in the service menu and searched every command listed in there.(dont worry it will not brick your phone).After doing all that... this is what happened .. i thought i failed again because the no smoking sign was still there ...so what i did was i clicked the settings and i was so surprised that the menu for mobile network comes out meaning to say that i was able to unlock the settings on the network ..im telling you guys this is what vietnamese unlockers have been doing to unlock this phone that is why they need the phone physically....thats all thanks
And it never prompted for a SIM unlock PIN again? Somebody really needs to go through this carefully and document it; an SCL21 is only 24-25k yen in Japan; I've heard of people paying more to fix broken screens on their international/American S3s.
scl21
as far as i know this particular phone model (s3 scl21) from AU KDDI is not sim locked . The first time i inserted the 3g simcard, it didnt ask for a pin code or anything ...what i could see was the no smoking sign and the simcard icon is there in the apps menu.
it's diffcult to unlock... i can't use in my country... please help

can you list out the step you taken ? i have 2 phones.
Yesterday I bought an S3 and rooted it straight away as I was trying to unlock it due to it being on EE. I couldn't do anything and downloaded Galaxsim unlock and paid for an unlock. Now everything shows as unlocked and so far I've tried orange and vodafone both work. I'm trying to get o2 to work with my S3 but it's not working and just says "Network is not registered". It also says invalid MMI when I tried something else I don't quite remember. Any help please?
This is in the UK by the way, I believe the phone is from germany though.

Use this metod to Unlock it, works fine on JB 4.1.1 you can try even if you have 4.1.2 installed. Downgrade to 4.1.1 if you can't see option 4 from guide.

Hello. I typed the code in you told me about, I had done it before it just says "connection problem or invalid MMI code" when I put an orange simcard in and "not registered to network" for o2. The thing UMTS method thing also wont work for me because as soon as I go on network lock it says "menu does not exist current command is 186." The apn settings are all correct.
I'm going to ask again, which version of JB are you using? 4.1.2?? If yes, you need to downgrade to 4.1.1 to use this trick

Sorry man I didn't see your comment at all, yes 4.1.2, so I can't continue to use 4.1.2 or do I downgrade, use the trick then upgrade?
Yep, downgrade to 4.1.1 first, use the Trick (missing option 4 now will be there), unlock & check if works. Once completed, upgrade back to 4.1.2. This method is permanent so in future you can flash any ROM and SimLock won't be back.

No problem final question, does the baseband number really matter too much? I've got an XXELL4 but I can't find one for 4.1.1. Sorry if that seems nooby it's just my first time downgrading
Here you go
Download any similar one, on the bottom of the page you can get 4.1.1
I might be wrong but I don't believe this method will work on non qualcomm devices.
Anyway, no "network unlock code" requested on boot means that your device is not sim locked anymore.
Did you check that your serial number and imei match those written on your box?

Nope. Just shows the same thing it did before "MENU NOT EXIST, current command is 186"
EDIT: If curiosity is killing you guys now, the phone couldn't get unlocked. Not even when I took it to the shop; every simcard worked except o2. They simply gave me another s3 and I was happy

Exactly same problem with JB 4.1.2
I fear if I downgrade I can lost the IMEI, happend some trouble with IMEI with the guy who try to unlock before phone comes to me.
The GalaxSim Unlock shows that the phone is unlock and all ok, but still recieve the "not registered in network" error message with any sim that´s not from the seller company
¿Any ideas for unlock in JB 4.1.2?

Hi. It really helps if you explain what you actually need along with more details about the phone.
What update are you on - Build version?
Have you modified the phone at all?
Are you referring to flashing as in installing the android system or flashing as in trying to program it for another CDMA network?
Are you looking for an official or custom rom?
I think you are looking for this though:
USCellular SCH-R970 (Galaxy S4) under 4.3
Open Dialer enter *#22745927
When Enable/Disable Menu comes up tap "Hidden Menu Disabled"
Select "Enable" on Popup
Press Home button
Open Dialer
Dial *#0808#
When PhoneUtil Opens Select PDA
Tap Qualacomm USB Setting
Select DM+Modem+ADB
Tap OK
(Remember after flashing to return and put phone back to MTP+ADB)
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ______________________________________________
USCellular SCH-R970 (Galaxy S4, S5) 4.3
Dial ##DMMODE#
Tap On
(Remember after flashing to return and Tap OFF)
If that isn't it, then provide the needed details so we can be on the same page.
i still need your help please

the last info you gave me was great but i think i must have missed a step because i got into debug menu screen but afterwards i couldnt get antane
signal so i did factory reset so i could try process again but now *#22745927 does nothing can you please help me?
I'm not clear on what the issue is, so not really sure what to suggest. Are you saying you can't get access to USCC's network? No talk, text, web, etc? Without any details on what you've done to the phone or what you are trying to do, there's not much anyone can do to help.
still need help

yes i couldnt access any network at all. at top of screen where antanae bar was susposed to be just had a circle with a line thru it. i factory reset it
so now i have signal but no other sim cards work in it. if any other sim card is put in it. it gives invalid sim message. i havent did any other thing to phone. just trying to get back to debug service menu. the code you gave me before worked the first time but now it does not. i just wanted to network unlock the phone so i could use it on different network
Well there's your issue. You can't unlock that one for use with other networks. You can do it on the Sprint version, but no one ever figured out that one.

Witch firmware did you try?
I had mass failures till I flashed the newest update (NK1)
So if finally downgraded this too 4.1.1 So i can use service mode. These are the steps in service mode.
1. Type *#197328640# and it brings up the factory service menu
2. Select (1) UMTS
3. Select (1)Debug Screen
4. Select (8) Phone Control
5. Select (6)Network lock
Right as i click Network lock i get zero options.. theirs supposed to be something like this..
6. Inside the Network lock menu, Pick option (3) Perso SHA256 off
It isnt there can someone please help me out with this. Im so stumped i just bought this phone for my att service but this is Us Cellular. Any help in the future will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
No one ever figured out a way to do the unlock on that model. I'm sure it wasn't for lack of trying. Have seen plenty of other thread requests like this that were never solved and the phone has been out for awhile now...
Hi, Im new to this site and i have went over a few fourms and tried their methods to unlock my phone and none are working.
I am running version 4.1.1 on my tmoblie galaxy note 2 t889 and ive tried using the method I will list below.
Go to your dial screen and enter *#197328640#
Go to UMTS
Go To DEBUG SCREEN
Go to Phone control
Go to Network lock
Go to PERSO SHA256 OFF (waited 30 seconds)
Press back
Repeat the first four steps
Go To NW LOCK NV DATA INITALLIZ(Waited a minute)
Then reboot my phone and put a different sim card in it/
Sorry guys im kind of a noob here but I have rooted my phone and downgraded to 4.1.1 I Have been without a phone for a year and this phone is currently locked. So I went out and bought a MyFamilyMobile sim card and activated it. And everytime I reboot and try to dial 611 it says "Network is not registered. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
