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

Hi to all on xda!
I have recently bought GT-I9300 from friend. When he wanted to sell to me he updated to 4.1.2 stock rom but after update he got error no sim. Now i'm trying to fix it for me. I don't know what version was before but now is XXEMG4. I've checked everything on phone and everything is fine (imei, s/n, wifi, gps..). I done update via odin once again and that pass well but the problem stays. I think maybe sim card get locked. I read over forum that i can unlock sim via *#197328640# but when i select [6] NETWORK LOCK i get error (menu not exist..). I read that i need 4.1.1 stock for this command and if this is xxemg4 update efs is v2 so i can't go back to 4.1.1, right? Can anyone help me? Please...
*UPDATE*
When i go to recovery mode on screen is this:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code : ALB
Successfully applied multi-csc
but my csc is MSR, that rom i installed. Can this be reason for no sim issue?
Network lock is not responsible for no sim message, that's usually due to a faulty sim card or card reader.
Try your sim in another phone and another sim in your phone.
You can't go back to pre EMG rom, the csc is unimportant, there is currently no way to network unlock your phone without a valid unlock code.
All the above is already posted many times, please search instead of creating new threads.
i have searched for this problem but i found only similar topics not same as mine. I have signal so i dont think it is modem faulty also my sim card works on another s3...

In that case if you have read the faqs then you need a service centre repair .
Or simply pay for the network unlock as you have been instructed to .

How on earth does that answers the question posted .
I have tried couple of patched modems but cant solve problem. When i flash patched MG4 modem then i dont have imei and s/n is wrong and instead showing some signal as did it before now is crossed circle icon. I tried that to restore efs backup but imei still was null/null. Then i flashed rom again and imei returns also s/n and no sim card error.
When i try to call then i get message "Not registered on network"...

The reason is that it has failed warranty status .
Due to wrong firmware but more often phone is rooted or had custom rom and signs have not been removed .
Samsung's warranty is not the sellers warranty and they have a much stricter policy .

No, same error. I will try 4.3 version now...
i found this service manual: http://mobilcoms.ru/load/1-1-0-4505
Has anyone know how i can check voltage on R324 (pdf 08-... page 12)? It is under sim/sd card module. Do i need just battery or i need sim and to turn on phone? Has anyone tried this?
I officially announce that my i9300 is fixed. Problem was in sim card slot (some pins were bent). I take apart my phone i start inspecting it. Checked everything from service manual and it was fine but after i remove sticker on sim card slot i saw that one pin is bent (Vcc) so i use small needle and gently rise that contact up. One side of contact is soldered so you must bent up behind solder. i reassemble phone and power on i waiting for result...No service, ok this is normal, as every time so next is no sim error but then signal bar started showing some reception and SMS from carrier started comming. Problem was in sim card slot....200E saved . Thread can be closed!

hello, maybe could you help me. i returned to the previous version that i had, installed, which is version X-viberom by xakep. the baseband version for that rom is the V52, which i presume is for chinese version. i think that the x-Viberom as chinese version for base.
with that baseband i never had any problem with the SIM cards, the two work without any problem .
the question that i would like you to help me is the following: with that baseband V52 i have to install a chinese rom or is it possible to install that modem over a ROW version ?
thank you very much for the help

Hi,
the problem is:
I have a galaxy s3 (i9300) which i'm not able to unlock. The *#06# shows the correct IMEI, which is printed on the label behind the battery.
I've tried editing nv_data.bin, but can't seem to find the 00181460 address.
Galaxsim says "unable to load nv data"
The problems started about a month after i upgraded to 4.4.4 (back to n00t rom). One morning the phone just kept saysing 'unfortunately com.android.phone has stopped working'
I tried reflashing it, then tried using cm13.
Everything works fine, except there's now a sim lock on my phone..
running out of ideas, so thought maybe you guys have some fresh ones.
Thanks!
The standard repair-procedure is to flash firmware by Odin.
hello, i have the same problem. i tried lot of rom to solve the problem but it don't do anything. Also flashing firmware by Odin don't work. I'm happy that i'm not alone.
sorry for my bad english.
Hello, have you ever tried to flash the stock firmware with Odin ? For me, it did not solve the problem. If someone has a solution. ..:crying:
The phone is network locked or is the SIM card locked with a pin?

hi, the phone is network locked.
The only method that may work to unlock the phone for free is the regionlockaway app with root and an older modem.
Was the phone ever network unlocked ?
Thanks for your answer .
Yes, the phone was network unlocked when i bought it.
i tried regionlockaway, but it don't work.
I don't know what to do.
Not sure why the phone would relock. You tried installing a stock rom?
I tried this too, but it don't worked.
I tried to change The modem, the CSC, but nothing happens, the phone remains network locked.
Did you check to make sure the phone was network unlocked when you first got it?
Yes, it was unlocked.
no network after custom rom 4.4.4
Hi all!
I also have the same problem after a cutom Rom install, >no Network, Hope you be of help as i expect XDA always do :angel:
No network is not the same as bein network locked.
If the phone can't be unlocked for free, an unlock code must be purchased.

My Gt-i9300 shows my sim as it is LycaMobile but also gives me 'Emergency calls only; so i cant call and etc... is there a way to restore it to full stock firmware ? because i also flashed baseband modem etcetera , and ididnt change to Gsm only ( i read somewhere that be a solution...?
Changing to gsm only will only give the phone data access at edge speeds.
To return to stock, flash a rom from sammobile.com using Odin.
I bought an unlocked phone to change operator when i want and i still have to pay ? Oh misery... :'(

Did you confirm the phone was network unlocked when you first got it? The phone supports your carrier's radio frequencies? SIM card works in another phone?
You can use turbosim for unlock but i dont know what happen to you. Its only suggestion.
You can't network unlock an s3 for free if it has ever been updated to 4.3.

Anybody make any headway with unlocking this phone without having an activated SIM card installed?
Current MetroPCS/T-Mobile rules are 180-days consecutively active. Use the device unlock button while your service is still active on the 181st or 182nd day. After service is up, confirm IMEI is unlocked by asking the carrier if your choice.
I'm all for the official way of things (sometimes)... but I was given this phone and since it's a few leagues above my Cricket/AT&T ZTE Z835 (regardless of it being 6.0.1 instead of 7.1.1.) I'd be pretty pleased if I could just throw my cricket SIM inside without issues.
