Unlocking? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hello everyone I was wondering if you had an easy and good way to unlock a Samsung Galaxy S III T999 at no cost? My brother is going over seas and would like to communicate with the family but T-Mobile refuses to unlock his phone for 90 days because we just unlocked my old Galaxy S II. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Just bought this phone, should I root?

Hi guys, so I can pretty much do anything, I've been rooting for a long time. So should I root now? If so, which Rom would be best? Thanks in advance
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
Best way to find out what's the best rom is to try them out people can say one thing about a rom and you can think something else,
Root and rom away, and welcome

Thanks! Does T-Mobile have some sort of 30 day warranty or something? Lol my mom says I should wait just in case
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
I think its 14 day but I'm not to sure, make a list if your gonna root most people get a bit to happy and forget to back up after they root and start flashing like crazy (guilty) so I started making a checkoff for my first root and flash haha

This.
Save yourself from any future headaches and head on over to Peoplearmy and GeeK's threads and back up your IMEI with both methods just in case.
I ran with stock rooted for a good week after getting my GS3 just to make sure there weren't any defects (since stock is the most stable).
Pardon my ignorance, I know what imei is, but if things go wrong, how will imei be involved?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Some people where having issues and there imei was lost, there's a tool to back it up in development section just back it up you shouldn't have issues I haven't seen people inquiring about lost imeis lately,

For some odd reason, people have been reporting that their IMEI information on the phone was wiped while flashing ROMs through recovery. That information isn't supposed to be touched, but nobody has really found out the reason why that data gets wiped during the flashing process for some users.
When this happens, the phone loses its ability to connect to your mobile network (because it has no IMEI information to present to the network), so it's essentially an iPod. Last week I randomly lost my IMEI from restoring a nandroid backup from CWM (luckily I backed up my IMEI information and was able to restore it within minutes), but I've heard people saying that it happens on TWRP as well.
I'm not saying that it will happen to you whenever you flash a new ROM, but when it comes to these things it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Also, welcome to the SGS3 forums . Leaving the childish drama behind in the Amaze forum alone was worth the upgrade for me.

How'd it go bro? Was it difficult???

Trial and error always the best course with roms. I would root mine was rooted a few hours after I pulled it out the box.
Very easy to do and with our development section well worth it.

System apps safe to remove?

So I did a quick search on tapatalk and saw nothing. With that said, anyone have a good list of apps safe to remove? The slimmer the better lol.

Who could tell.... No matter how long it's on the charger for, it still won't work longer then 5 minutes...
HTC = Have To Charge
It looks like the S4 will be using an exynos CPU so that means no support on xda. Qualcomm would have been a better choice for S4.

Sorry can you fill me in why? Does the international S3 get no support b/c of this?
I would switch on and off with my nexus 4
