Is your phone unlocked? Check to see

I got my UNlock code put in a at&t SIM..... put in code... then it said unlock successful...
But upon checking this unlock with this code.
*#7465625# it still says locked!!!
Will someone punch in this code that has there phone unlocked and see if it says network lock off.
Or if it still says locked!!!???
It's driving me crazy......

I purchased mine as unlocked but haven't had the chance to try another company's sim card on it to verify that.
I checked with the *#7465625# code and it looks exactly like yours.

I unlocked my sgs2 and tried that code and everything is OFF.

It looks like you are in different ROM. To unlock ur phone you need to be on stock ROM!
I did it on my s2. I was unable to use code on AOKP so i flash stock rom, unlock , rooted again and back to stock again.

Not really. Looks like that code won't show the correct status for S3. This is how it looks on stock rooted.

I was on stock when I did it... rooted... but stock... seems to me that on the tmo. Version.... it doesn't display properly....
I put in att chip and it sent me a welcome message and I can call 611 .... just got an activated chip.... no money on it thow...
But on you tube it shows some s3 switching to off below the lock statues ... it MUST be the tmo version.... wish I could see ur posted pics rakeshchn......

I requested and received the unlock code from T-Mobile. I tested this by making a call using an AT&T sim card.
My screen is identical to the one above, including the typo. My phone is definitely unlocked!!!

Same thing, as all of you. I get the same pop up. I tried it yesterday with an att SIM card and it worked on their network.

Nope, your good to flash to your heart's desire lol

Quick question, sorry its a bit off topic, how did you guys get your phone unlocked?
I've read threads about Tmobile being friendly enough to send you a unlock code, but I currently have AT&T. Does that affect the process any?

Yes att does give out lock codes ... just have to wait a certain amount of days..and once unlocked always unlocked... flash away..

help with unlocking galaxy s3

hello,
i have my unlock code from T mobile for my galaxy s3 T999 us version.but they tell me i need to insert a non t mobile Sim and then type my code when it tells me to.problem is i don't have a non t mobile Sim.is there any other way to type the code?
thanks

redthunda69 said:
Step 2 - We've got our code, time to enter it. To do this, we either boot up our phone with our AT&T micro SIM or dial "#7465625*638*# in the Phone app. Once you have the dialog box, enter in the unlock code from step 1.

you just go on tmobile .com and do a live chat and request your code.they will ask you for the phone number, model number, and imei number. then ask for a email then they put a request in and within a day you get a email with the code.

I am sure you have friends that have ATT? OR go to a store or WallyWorld and ask if you could get a att sim.
Or.. if you ask REALLY nice in the Wanted section. I am sure there is someone who downgraded to iPHAIL5 that has a spare micro sim. Since the new iPHAIL uses nano sim.

i would rather use an Att sim.where i am in jersey att seems to have better reception.will my t mobile s3 work with the st Att Sim?

If you entered the code your probably unlocked. I would get the same response. Get a friends att sim card and put it in your phone to see if it works. That is how I tested mine. And it worked flawless.

Why not tell your carrier that you are going overseas and want to use your phone and ask them to unlock it I did and T-Mobile sent me the code for my phone at no charge. My problem is coming up with a non-tmobile sim card.

thanks but i tried that a while back. no such options for me

Using AT&T sim on blacklisted T-mobile GS III

Hey guys,
I got scammed on craigslist and the guy won't respond. So I bought a T-mobile Galaxy S3 and it worked fine for over a week until 2 days ago when it stopped connecting or registering to the T-mobile network. I found out from T-mobile it was blacklisted as stolen/lost that day. I called to confirm the phone wasn't stolen or lost when I bought it. The T-mobile store says there is nothing they can do except offer me a new phone from the store to pay full price.
Can I unlock a phone marked as stolen/lost using an unlock code and use it on AT&T?
I tried searching the forum and I found a thread about a guy who already had the phone unlocked so he was able to use it on AT&T but in my case, the phone is not unlocked yet but is blocked from T-mobile networks.
Thanks in advance,
Buzz

Well if you unlock it before the whole illegal thing starts you can use it on AT&T.

If I unlock my T-mobile phone, can I keep the T-mobile stock rom or do I need to flash it with the AT&T stock rom?

If you are on stock, why dont you just dial *#197328640# to go to phone control menu, then network lock and turn off the network lock. If you do a google search for unlock galaxy s3 xda forum u ll see it.

1111+ Thats correct I have tried every rom out there from att and it worked on my tmobile s3. Now for the op. looks for the thread on general there is one that shows you how to unlock your phone without a code. It was meant to be for the note2 but it worked on all us s3's I have mine unlock that way put in my friends att sim and it worked fine only thing that the speed its a little slower not 2G though. And thats because att's 4g its 20ish not 42.
Any ways. If you were called tmobile and talk to a superviser they can change the IMEI number on their system and the phone would come back to work in 48 hours.
I know because It have happened to me too. It doesnt matter if you have your tmobile sim on it for at least a day tmobile computers will register that phone onto your network.
P.S the only thing that will changed from a ATT rom is that build.prop It will show that its an att rom but you can edit it to d2tmo with root explorer

Just don't flash other modems from other carriers that will Brick you.

[Q] Issues SIM Unlocking Metro PCS GS3 T999N

I have bought a service to get an Unlock Code for my Samsung Galaxy S3 T999N which is SIM Locked by Metro PCS. They provided me with some 4 codes: NETWORK, PROVIDER, SUBPROVIDER, DEFREEZE.
When I turn on my phone with a non-metropcs sim, the phone prompts: "PIN to unlock SIM service provider" so I put the PROVIDER code that I got from FATSGSM after hitting "Unlock" I get the following message: "unable to unlock sim service provider"
What is wrong? Could the PIN provided by this service be wrong?
Just an FYI, I am outside the US right now.

This might not be true because if you have the Metro PCS sim card inside, you will not get the unlock box. You only get the box to put the unlock code in when you put a non-MetroPCS sim card.
Can anyone corroborate this information?

He means it may need to be activated with the carrier first in order to be unlocked.. Some phones do require this.. You can try the region unlock app but I'm not sure if it works with s3
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

I used it when I got my replacement S3 a while back and it said the unlock was successful. I have no way to test if it really was or if it also SIM unlocked though. I wouldnt expect it to do so, but in my experience, it is safe to try.
