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.

So I finally got around to rooting my phone to get rid of bloatware. I deleted something I shouldn't have, though, because I got stuck in the LG Security Error boot loop. Sooo, I reinstalled stock firmware, but now my SIM card won't read. Any ideas of what could be causing this?
Well,rooting is not enough.you also need to unlock the bootloader before starting removing system apps.
What tool did you use to get back to stock?lg mobile tool?
If yes,please reflash using kdz updater,in cs emergency mode.

I've tried multiple SIM cards, and none of them read. I have a SIM card that wasn't working in my E970 in my backup phone and it's connecting to the network just fine.
I downloaded a SIM utility from the Android market, and even if I insert a SIM card, the utility says that the card is "Absent".
Hi Im having major issues with my s3 running stock rom 4.1.2. So I tried to change my imei number earlier this week and I think I messed somthinv up bigtime. Whenever I try to connect to the telus network in settigs it says your sim card does not allow a connection to this network. I already tried to restore imei with nv items reader and writer from cdma workshop but it gives me an error "failed.. phone does not answer" I tried using qpst but it didn't work either. I tried a sim swap. I used to run cyanogen mod. The funny thing is with cyanogenmod it only detected the network codes. For example 302610 but on stock rom that's telus. And Yes I know its illigal to change imei.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have got at&t unlocked phone and I haven't had any problem from above an year but I have been having signal problems from two weeks now. Messages come and go after hours, sometimes they are quick. It's like my phone is on it's own mood whether to send or not. When I try to check credits I get the error "Connection problem or inavlid MMI code". Sometimes my phone's carrier disappear too. Signals are all full. I tried porting into another carrier and found no difference at all.
I think it's related to IMEI because when I *#06# then a pop comes written "0" on it instead of showing IMEI code. Please help! Thanks!
For some reason, it looks like the folder containing your IMEI has been corrupted. Try to re-install the imei using NV writer.

Have you recently updated your rom or flashed anything? Maybe you could flash the modem files again and fix your problem?
When you go to about phone what does it say for baseband?

I think the problem occurred after I flashed leaked version of stock 4.3. Firmware was I747UCUEMJ2. I flashed CyanogenMod 10.2 hoping that it might fix the problem but it didn't made any difference.
I checked baseband version and surprisingly, it's I747UCUEMJ2. So, what do you think? Is that the problem? Also, how can I fix this? Last question, what if I restore IMEI etc then will it still be unlocked or I will need an at&t sim?

Restoring will not re-lock the phone. If your imei and baseband appear correct, I don't think you need to inject the imei.
You could use Odin to flash back to stock and see if the problem persists.

So the imei from the phone's keypad matches the imei on the phone's label?
Yes, it does.

Sorry to disturb but I have a question. Since carriers over here doesn't provide micro-sim so we have to cut out large sims and then ready to use. So, I did that but I also noticed that my friend who has S3 got smaller sim circuit and my sim's circuit covers almost whole sim. Maybe that could be the problem? Please answer so I can then contact carrier.

Hi everyone!
I just got a T-mobile sgh-m919 from USA.
But when i tried to insert my own local sim card (not t-mobile and not american also) , the device just can't able to read the sim itself.
It doesn't give me some code to insert and things like that and i also tried to follow a orders to unlock or something like that but its still wont work.
I know that the problem is not at the sim utself because I got also google edition device that works with this sim normally.
I dont have a problem to install rom and root my phone if needed and also if i have to pay few dollars to open it is cool but i really have no idea what sould i do...
so if anyone knows... please let me know!
Thanks! :laugh::laugh:
Make sure the sim card slot is clean, and is the sim an original micro or a cut micro?

There is a way to bypass it as long as the device never took the 4.4.2 official update.. Do a little search in the general or development forum and you will find your answer! Its an app called region unlock

I did it! it just needed to change from LTE to GSM
But .. the error of the unknown sim still there... what can I do?
and i read a little bit here and saw that i can't install custom roms on this device with CWM (I got the mk2 build)
so.. this safestrap is the only way? kind of scary yo me.. not as simple as other phones.....
And anothe Q... in the T-mobile device, ( android 4.2.2) I dont have those problems? in this device i can install CWM? I'm already got root on this device but it didn't install the CWM i think...
Thanks!!!
Is the network on the Verizon phone set to global? If so and you're using an original micro sim then you might have better luck in the Verizon forums.. As for the T-Mobile device, yes you can install custom recovery, it's not locked down like the Verizon model
