Hi all,
I tried to unlock my phone with the code provided by cellunlocker.net and no luck.
Method 1: when I insert my t mobile card, it doesn't ask for an unlock code( it should cuz this is a non art sim card right?)
Method 2: after punch in #7465625*638*(my unlock code)#. Nothing happens. (It should say something like unlock successful or not right?)
Heck even I can't check the lock status of my phone. I type in *#7465625# and didn't bring up anything.
Method 3: i type in #7465625*638*# and wait for it to ask the unlock code. It did nothing. Didnt ask for anything.
How can I enter my code if my phone doesn't ask for it. And it locked cuz i can't use t mobile sim.when I inserted t mobile sum it says no sim card.
Plz help. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.
My phone is att i747. 4.0.4. Baseband i747uclh9.

I used the following on my S2, when I did, I am pretty sure I saw an option for the S3 as well. Might be worth a shot.

Also, are you on a stock or custom ROM? I've read that that can be a variable as well.

Thanks for the response. My phone is running stock ICS.
THe thing that bugs me most is that it doesn't prompt the network unlock screen, hence I can't enter my code.
The link you sent me apparently works for the att s2 sadly.

I wouldn't even waste my time with cellunlocker.net I bought an unlock code from them tried ALL the methods they gave you in the email and they didn't work I eventually took it to a cell repair guy locally and he unlocked it for me for 15 bucks and it was a factory unlock like it would be sim free
Galaxy SIII via XDA premium
I think I will root and put a rom only phone and try the unlock code again. Otherwise I am now having a paperweight.

What I meant was....in the app itself, AFTER I downloaded it from the Play Store, there is a tab to select the S3....inside the app. Did you actually download it and look at it? Just checking.

Doing a NAndroid and I am going to try this. What sucks is I don't know anyone with a micro sim from Tmobile here at work
EDIT
Didn't work, would not/could not save EFS folder from step 1.
I've run into the same issue here only I got my unlock code straight from ATT. SGSunlocker won't save the efs (even though it's in the save location it doesn't register as being saved) so it won't go to step 2. The unlock code entry sequence you mentioned doesn't work either (that's what ATT gave as well).
Haven't tried a tmobile sim yet though, just got the code yesterday.

I'm pretty sure you can only do it from the stock ROM with the different SIM card.
The unlock code will only work with a foreign SIM.

What? Did you not read the second post? "MUST BE ON STOCK ROM!"
For both the MMI code to work and for the non branded sim card to work. STOCK ROM ONLY. K?
Flash STOCK ROM via ODIN.
Instert sim card.
Boot up.
Enter unlock code.
Confirm its working (I just called my house)
Flash whatever ROM you have as your DD
Enjoy.
Im assuming stock rooted is OK? Or does the phone need to be unrooted?

Stock rooted is fine. It just has to be stock because the custom ROMs dont have the proper coding necessary for the unlock prompt to appear.

I have a SaskTel Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747M, baseband version I747MVLLE8) that is locked, and I want to unlock it. But when I insert a foreign SIM (from AT&T) I get no prompt for an unlock code. Instead it just says "No SIM card. Emergency calls only." I've contacted several of the online unlock code suppliers and they say without this prompt I can't unlock the phone. I've also tried to enter variations of the *7465625* code, but they do nothing at all. SaskTel says they don't provide unlock code. This despite the fact that I purchased the phone outright, and have no contract with them. Am I totally hooped, or is there some way I can get this phone unlocked?

I noticed in an earlier post, the place of the unlock code was after the #, it should be before. On the right track though. Probably just a typo.

That and probably every variation of it I can think of! I am wondering though, is this code internal only to the phone, or does it go to the cellular network? When I do type it, it does nothing, though if I send it I get an "Invalid USSD" message returned from the network.

this code doesn't work on the LTE variants of the SGS3. most of the multi-stage codes (####*###) don't work, you just end up with an error.
Correct as stated. Additionally, if you have a foreign micro sim, and you are not on a stock ROM, the unlock screen prompt will not show. I was running AOKP, and could not get the prompt to show, so I flashed back to stock, unlocked phone, then flashed back to AOKP, bc TW sucks!

are you on a stock ROM?
i have a i747M and unlocked it with the at&t micro sim, so i know it works,
did u cut ur at&t sim down to size ? maybe u did it wrong and it wont recognize, or ur sim slot is ****ed up ....
ur best bet right now is to try another micro sim
Ok, I've now got my phone rooted. Can someone suggest how I can get the ROM set so that it will allow me to enter the unlock code when I insert a foreign SIM.
There's a 3rd potential method that hasn't been mentioned on here that we see working for most Samsung handsets. In fact, for some Samsung handsets (usually older ones) it is the only unlocking method that will work.
It is:
1. Turn on the phone with a non accepted or accepted SIM card inserted
2. Type #0111*CODE# replacing CODE with your network unlock code
However, if your service provider lock is active, then you'll need to use the code #0133*CODE# instead.
All unlocking methods (once you have the unlock code) are available here: http://www.mobileunlocked.co.uk/samsung-instructions.asp
Hope that helps.
Did you manage to unlock?
I'm facing the exact same issue. My S3 doesn't show the network unlock prompt when I insert a foreign SIM. Mine is locked to AT&T. It's also SGH-I747 model
You could try and unlock your phone as per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033225
Then try the SIM card after the phone is unlocked.
Oh, I believe this only works on Stock ROMS.

Follow the link Tybalt quoted, you will unlock your phone and the sim won't ask for an unlock code because well, it's unlocked.... Follow the instructions, you need to be on JB 4.11 for this to work, some have had success on custom roms but not many....you don't need to root to do this and make sure when you see the success code you have 40 at the end not 30... i did this a couple times... 30 I think basically means you have locked it again ... and in the instructions when it says wait 30 or 60 seconds... you really do have to wait.. don't be impatient....it's a huge thread with many many successes.....
Samsung Galaxy S3
I have the same issue but I have a sgh-i747 Samsung galaxy S3 i brought it to koodo and was told it was a compatible phone with the company when unlocked. The problem/question i have is When i insert my new simcard the screen will not display any prompt to input a unlock code. It just says emergency calls only or unregistered sim. I inserted my sim card into another s3 same model, software versions, different provider, and the phone asked for the unlock code right when powered on. So i tried and flashed a new firmware but its doing the same thing.
I called koodo and they gave me instructions to create a new apn of Koodo SP it did not make my phone prompt me for an unlock code.
When i send an email to any website about unlocking my phone they advice me not to purchase there product if my phones not prompting me for a unlock code that will it more then likely not work.
I've seen methods online of using these to input an unlock code "#0111*UNLOCKCODE#" or "#7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE#" but when i tell the unlock website this information this still tell me not to purchase there product and i mean many numerous websites. I do not want to buy an unlock code only to try to input it with these methods and have it not work. Which i highly dought it would because the normal 7465625 command doesnt work either.
I also tried this factory unlock and it did nothing
PLEASE HELP!?!?

Thank you so much for this!
Whenever I typed any variation of the #7465625 code I would get the "emergency calls only" message. #0111*CODE# did the trick!
The provider didn't even know this, the best they could come up with after numerous calls to their hotline is that the phone was broken and/or that the SIM card was badly inserted, thus I should mail them the phone to the other side of the country for unlocking. Would they even have known how to do it over there?
My grandma says thanks!
No credit to me, . Was just browsing the international forums and came across this:

Apparently it works for ATT folks, tried it on my rogers phone it didnt work. If it worked for anyone here please let me know. Also please thank the original threader if it worked.
EDIT: I think this works on rogers too. I forgot to INPUT THE * before the # , i didnt see that. ahaha.! Wow it cant be this easy!
2nd edit: confirmed working on rogers, telus, atnt, mobilicity, telus, bell
I just did it, will try and put in a different sim when I have a chance.
1- Before the procedure I installed an old inactive T-Mobile SIM card and was asked for an unlock code after the lock screen.
2- I powered down the phone, reinstalled my active AT&T SIM card and did all the steps mentioned in the other thread. First time I din't see one of the screens (the one prior to hitting back) so I did it a second time and all was according to the instructions.
3- I rebooted with the AT&T SIM card and then I shut the phone down again.
4- Inserted the same old inactive T-Mobile SIM card used on first test and I wasn't required to enter any code like it did before!
I cannot test any further because I don't have access to any other active SIM Card!
Lets wait and see if it was really that easy to unlock :highfive:
Did the steps on my Bell phone and put in a telus sim and it worked.
badass, worked on mine! (didn't check to see if it was already unlocked, though...)

I did it a couple of days ago. Tried it with my O2 pay-as-you-go SIM from the UK. The GN2 got a signal and connected to the network, so it does work. In the past, I got the screen asking for the unlock code.

That link seems to only check iPhones. I think the more important piece is that the phone accepts and works with non-AT&T SIMs. That pretty much means it's unlocked.

Maybe it's because your on cm10 and not on stock. It would be worth a try to do a nandroid back up and flash a stock rom.
If you're getting bars, the phone is already unlocked. Change back to stock, and then type the code in when prompted that way your phone will unlock fully even if you jump around ROMS

HiT tHaNk If i BeEn HeLpFuL.
I don't think CM10 has this support. Its mainly GSM carriers that use the SIM unlock. You probably need to remove the SIM pin on a stock ROM then go back to CM10.
This is the same thing that happens to users with SIM pins when flashing ported ROM's.
Does it say emeregency calls only in the notification pulldown?
You need to be on a stock rom to unlock.

According to this: http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unlock-sim-for-free-on-gsm-galaxy-note-2/ if ya take the newest update, ya can't sim unlock the phone cause it takes out the “NW Lock NV Data Initiallize” (Step #9) according to YouTube user comments...
THIS IS WHY I'm wondering what Stock firmware I need to downgrade back to in order to get that option again and be able to sim unlock my phone.
So I'm wondering if it's I317UCALJ2 or I317UCALK7 that re-enables that option for me. Right now I'm on I317UCAMA4...

Yea after all that it's safe to upgrade back to 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 or nearly any compatible rom you like.

No I mean while doing this process? Odin thing.. does it matter which SIM I have to keep in note
This http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unlock-sim-for-free-on-gsm-galaxy-note-2/ is the tute I believe, gotta remember it's been 2 months since I did this, so I'm not quite 100% certain. LoL
I'll be having to do it all over again too, by the end of this week possibly, since some jerk decided to steal my note 2 I had to go to ebay and win a new one.
I don't think it'd matter during the Odin flash with a AT&T sim card or T-Mobile one in it, I can't remember if I did it with or without a sim card, but to be on the safe side I'd do it without a T-Mobile sim card in it, just for that first successful boot... Then do the 4.1.1 unlock code method, take the back and battery off then pop in the T-Mobile sim card(Or whatever other non-AT&T carrier sim card) and see if it done it correctly...

hi, i'm new here. i don't know anything about phones. i just switched from at&t to tmobile. i'm using the galaxy note 2 (at&t). with a t-mobile sim card. i got the unlock code from at&t and it is not working. it tells me the unlock network is "unsuccessful" and i've already tried it like 6 times. i'm only aloud 10 attempts. can someone please help me? i know this forum is mostly how to unlock the phone manually, like without the unlock code number.. but i have the code, i just want it to work.. i don't want to root or flash or whatever. i don't even know what that means. can someone please help me?

I bought an AT&T live demo note 2 that was used in an AT&T store. I used this method from youtube, popped in my niece's T-Mobile microsd and dialed 611. T-Mobile's customer service rang and answered showing it worked. You need 4.1.1 to use this method though. I'm going get me a microsim today since my vibrant doesn't use the micro.
FREE HOW TO UNLOCK SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2
You do not really need the unlock code. Do a search in the forum as you cam just unlock it with Samsung' service menu.

The above is not true - if your phone has upgraded firmware, you will NOT see the item "NW LOCK NV RAM...." in your "NETWORK LOCK" "PHONE CONTROL" menu.
So, the ONLY two solutions are:
1) keep bugging ATT to create a case for you and investigate
2) downgrade to 4.1.1 modem (NEED TO READ/UNDERSTAND HOW TO FLASH etc.)
then apply the Samsung service menu "fix" as shown in the above video...*
*Then, you could upgrade to newer ROM... if you wish....:cyclops:
