Check to see if I am unlocked??? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Is there any way other than putting a different sim card in my gs3 to find out if im unlocked?

Did you use the *#197...(etc) method? I believe I read somewhere in the unlock thread that if you get a flag[0] message you are indeed unlocked.

Error when checking for software update?

I keep getting some weird error like "server not available" and then I have to wait 24 hours to try again and then get an error. I know there's probably not an update but want to make sure there's not anything wrong with the phone. Anybody getting an error when checking for software update on AT&T GS3?
Yea me to

My phone says it is up to date when I try the software update, no server found on kies from my phone. I downloaded kies on my computer and when I tried to download the update, it says I can't.

No bone stock. Maybe the server its looking for isn't up yet. Strange though.

Yup. As long as everybody gets the error then we're fine. Issue would be if only some of us were getting it.

I have an ATT S3 and it says mine is up to date! If you guys continue to have an issue I would try a hard reset. You can dot his from your phone.
How do we do hard reset

Mine still has the error even after hard reset

Maybe AT&T has multiple update servers and only certain geographic areas has theirs up.
Could be I'm in Iowa

Thanks for being the Guinea pig. I'm just going to wait it out. I think their systems are probably not fully up. The phone isn't even sold in stores yet.

I've been talking with Samsung they said it needs sent in . But AT&T hasn't even released the phone officially in stores so I dunno what to do

settings-> mobile network -> network operators

Is there a way to unlock this setting?
Search the forums. There's a way around it.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
Golly thanks. Never would have thought of that. Any clues on which forums to search? The ATT forums pulled up nothing for me.
No way I've found around it.. don't know what he is talking about.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Search "GSLEON APN Unlock" in AT&T Development. I'd post a link if I wasn't on my phone.
Edit: Scratch that. Can't find it in there anymore. I'll see if I can dig it up.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Anyway if that is what you are talking about adding an non lte apn can be done but that is nit the same thing as unlocking it enabling manual network selection.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Is it something in the SIM that locks it?
i would greatly appreciate if someone found it!
What are you guys trying to do with this? When I go through it seems to be unlocked I can choose att and T-Mobile and I'm on att network
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Where did you get the phone? I'm guessing from your sig you are rooted and running a non-ATT rom?
if you are talking to me i got my phone from att and i am using my att rom

Is that all it takes? Coolio. What is the best way to unlock? Also, I'm not worried about LTE vs 4G , just carrier selection.
oh im not unlocked either phone is just rooted running my rom
Would unlocking get carrier selection working?
I'm not sure I have carrier selection and I'm not unlocked

Just rub a little salt in the wound why doncha... lol. That is where I wanna be. I get into areas where the ATT signal is weak but present, and the phone will go on a roaming network. If I reboot it comes back up on ATT. Might have to go the root/rom route. Unless unlocking will get me there...

It said no firmware because there is no OTA firmware update at the time. Nothing to worry about. Let's see what's on your phone. Can you screenshot a pic of your build number, like this.

Thanks for the response.here are my screen shots I still can't connect to the network. The Sim worked in my other phone right away this one won't connect tho.

Hmm out of service, I'll double check if your IMEI has not been blacklisted. Hopefully guy didn't sell you a stolen or lost phone. If you are willing to flash a custom ROM, could help to.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I haven't rooted yet if I do and flash a custom ROM would that work. The phone has been working for the past 4 days with no problems till today.

How would I flash an att ROM for my tmo gs3

So the title says it all, I have a T-Mobile gs3 that is unlocked running on Att. How do I go about flashing att Roms to this phone, I've read many places its possible and I've never been steered wrong by xda so help me out?
Rob
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
You really don't need to. Its the same thing. Just keep a tmo ROM on. It will still work. If anything flash a radio. I know on galaxy s 2 radios are compatible. Not sure about the s3 since the att version has lte.

Only reason I was asking is the different ROMs available and all

How would i unlock the bootloader on 4.3

I have a Verizon note 2 i605 running VRUEMJ9 I would like to unlock the bootloader to flash roms or install a 2nd bootloader. I am rooted. I'm curious how I would do this I've searched around and have found nothing. Also I was wondering since 4.4 kitkat is coming out how would I upgrade if my phone is not activated. Thanks in advance
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
This subject is posted all over the place, you can not unlock the bootloader right now, it is just not possible. We are all hoping for it, but we don't have any choice but to wait. Safestrap is not compatible with the phone either right now. I'm not sure about the non-activated update, but I don't see why it wouldn't work like normal.
