Root and Unlock Galaxy S3 i747?

Hi,
i just got i747 Galaxy S3 from Bell i would like to root and unlock it.
I also i have figured out that the CM8 for i9300 is not compatible with i747.
Is there a ClockworkMod version for i747 available?
Can it be rooted and unlocked?
I would like to use it on Fido.
thank you.
I cannot find any tutorial how to root and unlock i747.
Thanks.
I am afraid there is nothing for the I748 version yet.
Only the international version had root so far.....
I am afraid you are going to have to wait.....
EDIT :

So I'm assuming that currently there's no way to sim unlock an i747m for free then.. right?
Also, I noticed Bell and Rogers are i747m and Telus is i747d. What exactly is the difference between the two?
Looking at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27938452&postcount=2
Is it safe to assume that I can buy any unlocked Bell/Rogers/Telus Galaxy S3 from kijiji and expect LTE to work on Rogers correct?

If iam not wrong there is no hardware difference between those i747's mostly it's the software which makes the difference.
My concern is more now should i sell my Bell i747m or not? Cannot use the phone at all since iam on Fido. I would rather buy then the international i9300 Galaxy S3 rather spending 33$ to unlock the phone.
I can sell it then for the same price and buy then the i9300.
Iam not sure if its even possible to unlock the i747m at all via a app or patch. I cannot find any info about it
I got Bell S3 as well and so far I747M model dont have this nv_data.bin file for unlock. But someone already send the Bell file to developers so they can come up with the unlock app. : (
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180992127295&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:CA:1123
I got my Bell s3 unlocked with this guy. So when you buy his service from ebay, he then will send you an email what tools you need to download and install ( teamviewer and usb redirector). Also if you are lucky, he will reply to you immediately and letting you know that he is onlin. Make sure you have different sim card. Pretty easy instruction. : )
I don't know why people are okay with these ebay sellers/unlock sites, most of them are illicitly accessing the handset manufacture's database and billing you for it, unfortunately telus has a $50 unlock fee for no reason other then that they can. If anyone could create a free sim unlock solution we would be much better off, lets stop looking for the best of the worst in these expensive unlock codes and just wait for the excellent devs to come up with a solution, I just feel dirty supporting those people... Anyone agree?
Unlock
Hello XDA members,
This is my 1st post on this website. I just wanted to let you know that the I747 from AT&T Galaxy S3 (locked) that I bought from eBay (which was new btw) was unlocked via software that I paid from this site called Unlockclient.com and it works. It took less than 5 minutes to permanently unlock my phone. It has all the versions of the I747/M/R. Thank you all for this awesome website.

# If you trouble yourself to start at the beginning of this page and read the stickies you will come to the conclusion that you are not the owner of I9300 and this is I9300 forum .
I9300 firmware will brick a non I9300 model .

[Q] Installed JB 4.1.2, now sim network locked

Hi everyone, i`m new here, i need your help.
Yesterday i put on my i9100 Jely Bean 4.1.2 rom with odin,and everything was great,but when i power on my phone it asked me: simlock network is locked. please input unlock code.
I was searching so many forums, and i rooted my phone with philz root, and installed super user from recovery mode, i installed busybox,latest version,and then galaxys_unlock i tried to unlock with this method,but after step 2 from galaxys_unlock i`m stuck,because it asked me again for unlock code.
I tried the app from play store from xda-developers but gave me no code unlock,i even try SamsungUnlocker_v1.4 and patch nv_data.bin,and replace with original and no results, what should i do?
I forgot to mention that my phone had ics 4.0.2 from france orange, and worked like charm in all networks,any help?
P.S. HW VERSION 1.5.
Thanks alot and sorry for my poor english.
You need to use "Galaxsim unlock" for it to work with the JB leak. Just search the forums for the free version or pay in the Play Store.

Hi guy, you can search helroz or Galaxy S Unlock (required rooted and BusyBox associated) on the Google plays.
Another option is using the GalaxSimUnlock (thanks spocky12 for the free version)
thankyou

Thank you OP and Untitled87!
Also thank you "creepyncrawly" for the link to get here from another post. Able to unlock att i777(running on JB 4.3 that had been banned from xda) to use tmobil.
Have you tried AT&T
I just finished a frustrating series of attempts to use a number of unlocking programs (Galaxy S Unlock, SGS Unlock Tool, GalaxySim Unlock) after rooting with Framaroot-1.4.2, but none of them worked. Then I called AT&T to see if they would provide the code and sure, no problem. After waiting about 5 min to get to a human, I had no trouble at all. May I suggest to one and all that it might be best to try this first as it could save a lot of trouble. Then root it and flash a ROM, if desired - I will to get rid of the AT&T intro and programs I still can't uninstall with root.
FYI - My phone:
Service version : Android Version : 4.1.2 / Baseband Version : I777UCMD8
Device model: SGH-I777ZKAATT
I had previously updated to Jelly Bean from ICS (4.0.3, I think) with Kies.

Have you tried this http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-n...lock-simdisable-region-lock-on-galaxy-note-3/
In the video it says for AT&T devices, but if you read the comments below someone got it to work on there SM-N900P ( sprint ) phone be careful . . .
Thank you jimzweb1 for your fast reply! Yes, I tried it, both version of Region Lock Away (v1.1 and v1.3). No success...
RegionLock Away
When I used RegionLock Away, it wrote:
The result of updating the modem was unexpected - can´t be sure if the path worked or not! Rebooting and trying again sometimes fixes the problem.
(It did not work after rebooting).
Try this
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f777/ssu-unlock-any-samsung-sprint-free-1876915/
Thank you, I tried it already.
No success with app SSU.apk. (Application start and exit during one sec.)
Possible reason I have Android 5.0.
