Does Flashing SGH-I747 4.3 to a custom ROM will remove the carrier lock of the phone?
No, you are Still locked to your carrier
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk
Couple of things to keep in mind:
1) if you want to unlock the phone, get a code and unlock the phone while running a stock ROM. You will not be able to enter the code using a custom ROM; and
2) do not attempt to downgrade the bootloader. Any attempts to downgrade could, and probably will, brick your phone.
Does this really works?
I have read through the forums. And I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/app-galaxsim-unlock-1-02-jb-compatible-t1846451 Does this really work?

I doubt it. If it did, there would be a big thread about it in the i747/i747m forum. Also, under FAQ, it states the following: support international Galaxy S3 i9300 (Us qualcomm based GS3 are not supported at this time)
The last post in that thread was 2013-06-14.
That unlock app will not work as it does not support U.S S3 variants
There's a working downgrade to 4.1.1 check it out and while on it, try the free unlock then upgrade again
Edit: my bad.. You can't do the free unlock even of you downgrade because the bootloader is still 4.3... Only way to do it once you're on 4.3 bootloader is to purchase an unlock code
Good luck

I just had a quick question, I received my unlock code from T-Mobile and I was wondering if it is necessary to go back to stock touchwiz ROM in order to unlock it or not?
I'm currently running cm11

I'm curious as well. I'm gonna be switching to AT&T next week sometime but I'm running slimkat.
Curious to know if I need to flash a stock ROM in order for it activate on AT&T.
Yes. Its been my experience aosp doesn't have the native apks/binaries required to successfully complete the unlock

Cool thanks. Now my next question is do I flash a T mobile ROM or AT&T?
Btw sorry for hijacking your post.
You'll get reception regardless as long as AP is set properly. Go with whatever you prefer.

i face that issue once and it was my sim card, was unregistered in the network, sometimes its cuz the sim is disable (wich means it wouldn't work anymore) or you have to search over internet how to register your sim card with your provider, in my case in my country ther eis a code to register a new sim card!

I have purchased a Tmobile Note 3 because its bootloader is unlocked and I can install custom roms. I plan to use it on AT&T notework.
Based on my research I have not been able to find a way to sim unlock for free. Chainfire's region away does not work with version 4.4+
Asking the group if anyone is aware of another way to sim unlock other than buying a unlock code from eBay for 25?
cellunlocker.net ,imei-unlocker.com and unlockunit.com take your pick.

Yeah - Did not work. I ended up buying code off ebay
What about downgrading to the 4.3 (TMBBMI7) and doing the free software unlock? Will it work?
Is the stock ROM required for unlocking?
Got the proper code from T-mo. Running CM-11. Unlock code doesn't work.
Am stuck because I don't want to brick.
-blaine
I always use:
https://www.safeunlockcode.com
My code has always been delivered to my email in less than 5 minutes. I had to go through a couple of crap/scam sites before I found it though. I paid $35.95 for the unlock code for my T-Mobile Note 3 and they refunded me $14.40 just for submitting a selfie of me with the phone while smiling. That was a year ago. The last T-Mobile Note 3 I purchased a code for from them was around $30.

Yes it is. Stock rom required.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
So what happens if you have it unlocked with the stock rom and then decide to upgrade? Will the unlock remain when upgrading the rom and bootloader?
So far, my experience is that the unlock sticks through changing bootloader and kernel.
Its just the initial unlock that needs the factory software.

Is is possible to flash back just the stock kernel and keep the international ROM, or will that reinstate the T-Mobile lock?
Also, I went ahead and filed a complaint with the FCC that I believe T-Mobile is violating the new unlock law. Essentially, T-Mobile is making customers who buy the phone outright get service and I don't think this is appropriate. I got an email today that the complaint was served to T-Mobile and they have 30 days to reply. Let's see what happens.

Yeah , i'm really hoping this works.. i hate that Tmobile came up with this **** app ,, why are we at fault cause their customers sell phones
Hi guys!
Did it worked?
Cheers!
This is happening with all new T-mobile phones. They have a eligibility requirement where the phone must be used on a T-mobile account for 40 days before it can be unlocked through their "unlock device" app. Which is honestly... a piece of ****.
SOLUTION: 1. unlock code. 2. Non T-mobile rom. 3. ??? 4. profit! (jk on 3.)
What many have been doing on other phones: m9, z3, etc, you flash a non t-mobile rom! that's pretty much it. You flash a non T-mobile ROM and put in your sim card, it should ask for the sim unlock pin/code. After you do that ONCE, it should be completely unlocked, you can go back to stock or any other rom and it should be sim unlocked!
I have not tried it on the s6 edge myself. BUT it should be the same thing.
GOOD LUCK!
I with for code
I'm ready, I bought the code but I don't received yet.. I have my phone rooted, with twrp. I download the ROM and the kernel..
I think the code arrived in two days... But if somebody haves news.. Please.. Tell us.
first?
