Is this possible to do for free yet?

Please, Any help would be appreciated, it has KNOX installed to and would like the phone to be rooted, have had a look around and its a bit confusing,
I just did it recently but not for free cost about £20 but it was worth. Brought the phone off ebay.
unlockunit.com
They just need your make and model and imei number.
And will send the code to you within 12hrs or so.
You put a sim different network into the phone and the phone will ask you for the unlock code.
That's it. I thought it was worth the price.

I got phone unlocked using the superuser option through OdiN *FLASHED KERNEL*
I disabled superuser after it all seemed to work and now I cant get the phone off the samsung logo screen
I got into bootloader to factory reset...and its still stuck
I have been trying to get the MTP driver to install and I am having no luck, I tried the registry entries to delete the upperfilters but didnt have one, so created one and tried to install as it said and deleted it again...still stuck on samsung screen...
have i broke my phone? is there anyway to fix this at all? cant connect to kies or Odin
Any help would be most appreciated x
Got it to load again i reinstalled the original rom now to see if i need to unlock it again good to see it switch on x
What's the superuser option you flashed, wouldn't mind reading on it.

Just because it shows the 3 welcome screen doesn't mean it's not unlocked, just branded. If you continue past the welcome screen, are you sure your Orange SIM doesn't work? If so, what method did you use to SIM-unlock it?
Thx a lot for the reply.
Initially i have used Chainfrie's Galaxy S2 sim unlock. but didn't work. Then i have used Helroze's Galaxy_S unlock. After that i pressd *#7465625# it says
Network lock OFF
Network Subset lock OFF
SP Lock OFF
By this way i believe its unlocked. But dont know its really unlocked.
Cheers
Tony
Branded means network branding and add on .
Your is 3 branded
Locked means locked to a network unlocked and it will work on any network .

Not recognize sim first question has to be does it reconize any other sim .Second question have you entered the network settings for orange ???

By the info youve given already your phone should be unlocked. Will it not make or receive calls or is it just the web that aint working? Does the sim card work in another phone?

Sorry to jump on this thred but noticed the OP had the same kernel, build and baseband numbers as my newly bought S2.

Only two possible answers left .
One you have not entered your networks settings or they are wrong .
If you have then phone is not unlocked .
Simple test .
Phone works with original sim = software OK .
Other sim works in another phone = sim ok
Phone works on another network sim after network setting have been entered if not then its not unlocked phone .

thx for all your support. its working now
Hello
i have rooted my phone because i need to use a different sim. Because i was with 3 it wont let me to use a different sim even after rooting and unlocking it.
The only way if u want to use a different sim is to flash a unbranded official uk firmware on it.Because even if u unlocked the phone after rooting all the bloat ware and the fiemware from 3 wont let u use any other sim (i mean in my case.) but make sure u have already backed up the current firmware before flashing a new firmware.
Please use method only if u bold enough to do it. because if u done anything wrong it may void the warranty.Please do all this in your own risk, to overcome this use a jig u can buy from ebay. or goole it or there is lots of information about this in you tube to reset the flash counter
I will explain what i did to my phone
Step1, Rooted my phone using the method described in android authority and firmware xwlp7 which is described on the above site. here is the link for it please copy and paste on your browser then u will see the method how to do it.
http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...xMSnBw&usg=AFQjCNEAJtIUKzYLRTUMggMwJWe2V-SseA
Step 2,Once u have rooted Get the sim unlock apps from Google play, in my case the Chain fires one didn't work, use this app only once, if u use it more than once u r phone may get locked. Then i have tried Helroz's Galaxy_S Unlock and it did worked.You can check this by typing *#7465625# in u r dial pad once the app run and if u r phone is unlocked it will say sim lock 'OFF'.
But at this stage my phone wasn't working with my other orange sim . The reason was the phone was still on 3 uk firmware that's why the phone wont let me to use any other sim. So i need to find a unbranded original firm ware close to XWLP7 which was my original firmware because i don't really want to try any other firm ware.
So i have found that carphone warehouse uk was using XWLP7 firmware in their sgs2 which is same as mine. Because phones from carphone ware house can use any sim i thought this may work with any sim on my phone as well, You can get this from SAMWARE site where u can find all the firmwares for sgs2, new and old. This site is free and only need a registration. Down load it and extract it in to a folder(tar file). Once you are in the site look for the carphone ware house uk's firmware. I hope you are in Ice cream sandwich 4.0.3
Step 3, Before flashing this do a back up of your current firmware just in case if anything goes wrong , u can flash back. U can do that in recovery mode, (Turn your phone off, turn it back on again by pressing volup+home+power) U have options there to back up, once you done the back up of original firmware in the reoverymode
Step 4, Do a factory wipe/ reset
Step 5, Do a cache wipe as well on the recovery mode this will help u to do a fresh start.
Step 6, Tun the phone off again and turn it on back on down load mode( vol down+home+power button)
Step 7, Start odin which you have used to root the phone in step 1 then connect the phone using the usb cable and odin will recognise your phone (yellow colour on the left hand corner of the odin page) Once this is seen on the pda choose the firmware you have downloaded ( carphone ware house oen from SAMWARE) And make sure only reboot and F.reset time and pda are checked,make sure nothig else checked in the odin. Then let it run, this will take few mins and the phone will reboot.
Hope fully this time u don't see any 3 welcome screen, turn it off and try using the 3 sim first, it should work then try any other sim, in my case that was orange it did worked fine including mobile data so you don't have to change the APN settings for each network provider.
Thanks for the xda develpers, android authority and samware for all their hard work in providing lots of information.
Any doubt let me know. Please do not do anything unless you are really comfortable with
Thx
Go to any of the supermarkets and buy a PAYG sim from another network,{around £1.00}, youi don't have to register the sim to see if your phone is unlocked.
{EDIT} I see you said your coming from a iphone.... So that means its a cut down sim {micro-sim} card.
Parhaps it is not seated in the correct position.
Just a thought..
My phone is doing the exact same thing, can anybody help?
Originally on three UK. Got unlocked in a shop. Orange sim card worked fine. Restored to factory defaults to erase phone. Orange sim card no longer works, but phone is showing as unlocked. Every other network sim card works fine.
Its bugging me, took it back to the shop where i got it unlocked and the man said he had never seen anything like it.
Any help would be great. Thanks
Hi all,
First of all, I want to say thanks for all the help and knowledge I've found on this website - it's amazing.
I've come to you because my sister bought an i5500 from a girl who was on the Telus network in Canada. My sister is on SaskTel, and I believed I would be able to unlock it after looking at xda-dev for some time. After several hours of rooting and attempting unlock, I finally got the BML5 file and opened it in hex editor. After several more hours, I managed to locate my SIM unlock code - 01234567 (Which I find odd, by the way).
Anyway, my sister has since gotten a SIM card from SaskTel and when we insert it, no SIM code prompt appears. I then tried it with my Fido card, and it did the exact same thing - the phone acts as though there isn't any SIM card in. It does, however, state that there's no signal.
Does this mean that the phone is already unlocked? If it is unlocked, I don't know how it happened - the girl that originally owned the phone never hacked the phone or anything. If it is unlocked, why won't my Fido SIM card, or my sister's SaskTel SIM card work?
The other issue I've been having is that the phone will suddenly turn off every 5 or 10 minutes. Could it have happened when I rooted the phone? I used SuperOneClick to do it, then command prompt to pull the img file to my laptop. Did I partially brick it?
Thank you so much for any help you guys can give me; I'd like to think of myself as fairly technically apt, but at the moment, I'm completely at a loss as to how to fix this.
Again, thanks.
---------
EDIT: Found some new info: Whenever the phone restarts, the date, time, and time zone are all reset back to standard. Does this mean that the battery is shot? The phone is less than a year old...
useful thread
Well I don't know about the rebooting, but what I recommend you read this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335548
specially the last part, which states:
Most custom roms that tries to remove blur break the subsidy lock interface (sim unlock screen doesn't show on them). If you flash other rom and subsidy unlock screen doesn't pop when you insert foreign sim, you will need to flash back stock ROM in order to unlock. So the easyest way for those of you running a Custom ROM, just do a nandroid backup using CWM, flash Stock ROM, unlock your phone then restore your backup.

Thanks for this. I used that link to root and get the code for the phone, but now I'm confused with the lack of PIN unlocking screen. Does that mean that I'm going to have to backup/flash with stock ROM? I'm totally fine with flashing it back to stock if it's not, in fact, I've looked for a stock ROM in case that was the issue. Since it's a Canadian model though, (GT-I5500M) I can't find any. There's a list somewhere on XDA with all the I5500 ROMs, but it says that there aren't any from Canada. Options? Ideas?
Thanks again for the help.
Anyone with any other ideas? Right now I'm trying to decide whether or not we should just sell the phone and get a new one, so any advice/help would be appreciated so much.

Thanks, I did, but there isn't anything for Canada on there. A new problem just cropped up: the WiFi won't turn on. So, even if I wanted to flash it with an official firmware, I don't think I could - I have to use the market to download an app to flash, right?

Bought an I9300 s3 on eBay is locked to O2
Vodafone sim
Spoke to O2 no help at all. Call 202?
Doesn't make calls.
I've got an efs backup but from the 4.1.2 current stock.
Seems this won't downgrade to 4.1.1
Odined the stock 4.1.1 no joy. Won't boot.
Cwm an old miui 4.1.1 also no boot.
Odin back to stock unbranded 4.1.2 boots fine. Rooted cwm triangle away. Fine.
Whos is this phone? Apparently not mine.
How to down grade please?
Any help gratefully appreciated.
Super wipe after flashing rom helps.
Downgrade to 4.1.1 probably won't have SDS fix so may kill your phone.
If it doesn't make calls with O2 sim then IMEI may be blocked. It won't make calls on Vodafone, because it's locked to O2.
You have to factory reset if it wont boot.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
So you're saying after cwm the 4.1.1 I should full wipe.
Then the business.
Then flash a safe kernel before upgrading back.
If I just odin the 4.1.2 stock back over surely the brick bug won't activate?
Flash 4.1.1, full wipe. Do your unlocking, flash 4.1.2
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
This went badly wrong.
Flashed stock region correct. 4.1.1
Flashed chainfire cwm root.
To allow wipe
Booted fine.
The fix as follows doesn't work as the final menu still not available.
Just dial the following keys *#197328640#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
Even though I didn't execute anything as that menu option isn't there something bad happened.
I installed galaxsimunlock from the play store.
It now says invalid imei.
Glad I backed that up.
Still locked.
The saga continues
I would try an O2 sim before anything to see if the phone actually works or not .
Blocked phone are blocked via IMEI and require the blocking network to remove the block .
Report phone stolen network block IMEI get new phone sell the now blocked phone is fairly typical .
jje
If I buy an unlock code on the Web or at a store will it sort of the blocking from the network?
Don't know anyone with a micro sim on O2.
Thanks for your times
Edit.
I flashed back to 4.1.2 its ok. The baseband doesn't get replaced on downgrade and isn't understood by the older software. There is a post somewhere here about it.
This is what causes the odd error messages in that unlock app. Currently says can't read nv
Unlock code will do nothing if the IMEI is blocked, the phone is useless.
Take it to a phone store, for a small fee they will tell you if it is locked or blocked.

Are you now saying the phone is blocked ???
If so return to the seller / Ebay .
Unlock code will not remove blocked IMEI .
Usual reason for a block is phone is stolen

I agree if it turns out to be blocked I will. It was PayPal so he must be verified.
But I still don't know anyone with a micro sim. Shame they're not all the same size now.
I was just checking ahead of time. I don't want to pay £15 for a code and it not work.
I work weekends so I'll have to wait until Monday.
Thanks everyone you're being very helpful. Much appreciated.
Good news everybody!
We've got a delivery to...
- found someone with an O2 micro sim.
Works fine on O2.
Seems I'll have to go pay for a code online or in one of those seedy little shops.
Seems a shame. As I can alter my /efs backup and presumably restore it back.
If only I knew which file/s to change.
It's not the most obvious one that contains only three letters O2U
Unless galaxsimunlock doesn't restore properly.

I agree galaxsim unlock would be great. But as it now flashes a red bar
"Unable to read nv data"
And offers no option to unlock or pay. Cos it says in the help that it doesnt know it can unlock the phone.
I'll have to wait for an upgrade.
I bought this new i717 unlocked phone from ebay and sellers promised it is unlocked and it works with T Mobile and other GSM Networks. Got the New phone (has ATT sign on it) tried T Mobile SIM - Didn't work . ATT SIM Worked. Googled about why it does not work - read some forums like these( not blaming) and they mentioned need to root and change the ROM blah blah... so jumped on it thinking i can solve it piece of cake. BUT
I think i might of messed up by changing the unsupported boot now my phone doesn't turn ON.. tried various hard resets, soft resets.... googled but no help.. basically phone is hard bricked. No light, nothing - DEAD Phone..
So i sent the phone to Samsung they said phone bricked and some hardware failed (OMG) charged me 70 bucks since phone was out of warranty ( thanks to seller and myself for not checking before buying) and said they will compete reflash the phone and update the software
SO Lesson Learned in proper way
Guys Please be careful when you mess with ROM..
So my question is if they do reflash the phone - will it be still unlocked? ( i don't think the seller (to start with) have unlocked via att might have used some rooting methods). and can i be able to use it to ATT
if someone now what do reflashing the phone does ? and another thing i didn't get how do updating a ROM created a hardware issue. i was not able to argue with samsung guys... but if you guys know anything please shed some light
Thank you

Good chance it wont be carrier unlocked after they're through with it. No big deal really as you can go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124544 and unlock the device yourself. Trust me it works, mines is unlocked and using a T-mobile sim and never had an issue. As for the hardware issue are you sure you flashed the right rom for the device?

Your gonna need to do better than that buddy, or your going to be sending your phone in A LOT.
Kit Kat based is not the answer. He is looking for, "did you flash the rom for your specific device?"
You need to be sure you are flashing device specific files. If you have i717, those are the files you need. Not trying to beat you up, it is pretty important you know this stuff though.
Hope it works out for ya.

Hi all,
I have a UK GT - i 9300 locked to Orange and i have just been signed up to EE.
EE claim the phone is already unlocked.....it isn't. They failed to provide a SIM unlock code, so i went to a third party (computer shop) to get the code. They provided an unlock code, and an unfreeze code. They don't work. It just says "registration code unsuccessful" or something similar when i try to put it in upon booting up the device. The guy at the shop is now at a loose end and is happy to refund the unlock code fee, but says he cannot unlock the phone.
I have tried the codes that start with #1972.... to enter the hidden menus, i actually had to enter #0011# i think....regardless, that didn't work as under network options (or whatever it was called) i have no option to tell the phone to allow other sims.
I mention all of this because please believe me when i tell you there is not a simple solution to unlocking this phone....i have read pages and pages of forum advice and nothing works.
My very specific question is; can i root this network locked GT i9300 (UK version) which is currently running on 4.3....or not? It is the only possible solution i can see to save this phone from becoming a paperweight.
I can promise you that hours upon hours of research has not got me a sensible, definitive answer to this question.
Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

It doesn't matter if the phone is SIM-unlocked or not when you root it. If i can find a stock ROM for the i9300, or if it is 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 with the old bootloader, it is unlockable for free. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help-i9305/guide-sim-unlock-i9305-t3267901 this is the thread, tell me if you want me to find a stock ROM and i will try to make it zip-flashable.

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately after nobody responded yesterday i decided to flash the phone back to an Orange UK version of 4.0.4 and see if the Galaxsim unlock program worked from there. It has now given my phone the generic IMEI number 004999010640000 and Galasim is just saying "UNABLE TO READ NV DATA"
I've tried the method of changing the nv data bin files, and it doesn't work.
I have no backup of my original efs folder.
The bottom line here is that i have been going round in circles with this pile of sh1t service from Orange and EE, and codes that don't work for over a month now. I mean no offence by asking this bluntly, but can someone just give me a simple yes or no answer as to whether i need to buy a new phone or not?
It seems everyone has a theory on how to unlock this phone, and none of those theories actually work.
Currently phone is sat on
Android version - 4.0.4,
Product code - GT-I9300RWDORA
Original Product Code - ORA
IMEI NUMBER - 004999010640000/01
Sim Operator - EE(23433)
Registered Operator - @[email protected]
OS version - 4.0.4 (15)
Baseband - i9300BVLE4
Bootloader - I9300XXUGNB5
Patform - exynos4
LOCKED TO ORANGE.
Some simple instructions on how to fix this, or an honest answer as to if it is even possible would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks
