Hello
I had a new S3 last week , a friend bought it from France , I9300 , unbranded , No carrier
But I found it to be region locked , with a french sticker indicating that
What I done so far : - tried regionlockaway for note 3
- rooted , tried galaxy sim unlock apps > they think I'm unlocked
- tried Cm 10.2 roms , revolution hd
- edited csc/customer.xml , actually cm deletes it all
- flashed csc for middle east
- tried the nv_data unlock method at 00181460 > all FF
- flashed various modems
- tried stock Egy jellybean and ICS ROMS
- all possible combinations for modem/rom/csc
- tried the service menu method > no Perso SHA option
- cm says Iam perso locked , personalisiob menu says I'm sim locked
EDIT : added to things I read about and used : azira patch
What Should I try ???
Your question has been posted multiple times . Forum rules require you to search before posting .
Google <<< I9300 your search terms > xda
one answer only works pay for an unlock code .
See multiple identical posts .
I just had the device
and I posted all solutions I used
do you really think I didn't read every post about sim lock ?!
NOTE : I'm talking about region lock not SIM lock
please refer me to the post I missed about i9300 region lock ???

That is an EU Device.
Are there any Hardware Changes or other things between an DE and EU Device?
How can i check if it is an free Device? Free from a Branding and Locks.
Look there is a code for the dialer which hardware eg CPU is installed, etc.?
Is there a list of all the codes for the S3 and what effect?

Put a non-orange sim in the phone and turn it on, you'll soon find out if it's locked or IMEI blocked.
Dialer codes are all here on xda, search in general stickies.
CSC: i9300OXAELL4
What does this CSC code mean?
And my Base DE Simcard works with no problems.

OXA is a European generic multi-csc so that's fine, so looks like you have an unlocked phone, but depending on how it was unlocked,you may lose unlock if you flash the phone.
On the other hand it may never have been locked and just had a carrier Rom on it, which would be the best outcome!
Hello all
Problems in short
Problem No. 1 : -
You have installed the latest ROM from the company (I did reset the factory then no problems occur) + you install Recovery you downloaded from the forum here and I did reset factory machine doing a Restart frequently does not enter into the device + you make factory settings through the Recovery and you Reboot does not work too!! .. Then represent the re-installation of the ROM again!...
Problem No. 2 : -
I have 4 Rom , 3 Arabic them , and one English , I am having a problem with the 3 Rom Arab namely SIM network unlock PIN tried in every way to solve the problem but did not have succeeded in it for awhile .
The Roman England , which does not support the Arabic language and the latest of them do not appear this problem! !
I got up the transfer of files CSC Syndication version and succeeded in doing so but I do I have a problem to the No. 1 puck up what came back and appreciate the work reset the factory,
What is needed is to do my job Root without using Recovery to the bottom of the topic or invoke Recovery else works without problems until I open the root,
Or to find a solution to open the root knowing you experience Impactor Unlock root in previous before succeeded updates ,
Now I want to work Roth nor the most successful at it,
If your view to change the Rom Is there Rom supports the Arabic language or a way to add Arabic to the original Greek ?
I hope I find a solution for you.

do a full wipe and install your stock rom through odin
actualy where are you from you should flash the correct country firmware
and do a csc reset by using *#272*imei#
then do the root as per the instructions on that thread and if you need any language on your rom search in xda there are few threads on including a language in to your phone

Yes you try it has succeeded in the past as I mentioned in the first topic ..
But now I do not succeed with the only version that works with the sim I have!!
Cydia Impactor
Note: The problem of SIM network unlock PIN emerged after the upgrade to the latest Rom and try to refer to my rum ..
Does it solve the problem? SIM network unlock PIN
Knowing rom all formal and non-rate
reinstall other rom egy times the same problem sim lock
A picture of the problem
But there is a solution to the problem of SIM network unlock PIN, the problem I'm having with all the Arab roms
Read the thread properly!!!

hEY MAN, READ THE THREAD PROPERLY, READ THE LAST PARAGRAPH IN GREEN...
The signature bugs unavailable you are getting is due to the latest firmware which comes with the bugs patched!!! for this method to work you need to flash old stock firmware!!!:fingers-crossed:

Hi everybody,
I don't know much about my second hand S3. All I know is that it comes from UK...
I recently updated it with the latest official firmware in 4.3 vodaphone ireland (VDI) and now i have two issues :
1 i cannot root it again, it doesn't work : CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300 and CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 tested with same issue I even updated supersu.apk...
2 No more sim network. I think it was unofficially unsimlocked and i lost this unlock when updating : galaxsim unlock said i need to wait for a new release
Other apk unsimlocker doesn't understand my network lock.
So i decided to unlock it manually with an hexa editor opening nv-data.bin file :
when it is locked, i should have 01 value that i must change to 00 to unlock the phone... Since my recent update i get an FF code that i changed to 00 without succes...
So now, the phone has no more root (i can go back to 4.1.2 for that issue) and no more sim network (issue still present even if i downgrade)
What shall i do with my mobile phone now?
Thank you for your answers
All this is just a repeat of what has already been posted multiple times .

Hi,
I have CM12 on my Galaxy S5.
I have to unlock my phone for new sim. (SIMLOCK - ORANGE PL )
I have NCK and unfreeze but I cannot do it - it is asking me, I give codes (NCK, NCK+UF+NCK, UF+NCK), every combination.. but always - UNSUCCESSFULL.
What can I do?
I was trying to reestore factory etc.. no change..
Please..help...
This has been asked and answered many times. You need to have a stock based rom to input unlock codes.
Hey Guys , I recently purchased an S6 edge G925F from my local market , in used condition , it came with Android 5.1 Lolipop but when i upgraded it to marshmallow , its GSM capability stopped , which means that it detected my local network but failed to register on my sim network , it would say " could not connect , try later" , G925F roms work completely except sim communication , and when i had this issue , i took it to my seller to repair it , and he refreshed it to lollipop again and said that dont upgrade to marshmallow , because it has GSM bugs etc , and i asked him about what happened and asked that whether it was locked or etc , he answered that my phone got locked (i dont know if its carrier or bootloader or baseband lock) but he said it got locked due to baseband change , My questions are :
Q1. is this a reconditioned phone that was previously some carrier phone that they converted it to G925F ?
Q2. Do locks (network , carrier , baseband , etc) exist for G925F which would produce GSM issues ? like i had ? sim works but fails to register on gsm network
I will be glad if anyone could help me out! (P.S IMEI remained intact , didnt get corrupt, despite no network capability , and i checked , in my country it isnt flagged stolen or etc)
