If you just choose the ROM no it will not unlock the phone. You can however unlock the phone using some service codes; try searching the forums. As for the roms, you can use a ATT Rom with T-Mobile service. You won't have LTE service but the most you will get is 4G which is close enough to LTE.
Well do you or anyone else know how to sim unlock a galaxy s3. I tried doing to *#197328640# but I don't have NW lock nv data intilliz

Review the instuctions. Only certain ROM / Modem combos produce the responses you need. Be careful. The commands on that menu are powerful. Done properly, it is quick & easy.

How do I unlock Mobilicity Samsung Galaxy SIII, its the SGH-T999V. I wanna switch carriers
mobilicity say they do not offer unlocking services and I do not want to pay money to untrustworthy sites.
Is there a trust worthy site i can use? or is there something i can install in TWRP or CWM? I have a rooted phone
Goto a Chinese mall and they can unlock it for around $20

thanks got it to work!
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 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.

Hi
I'm probably picking up a T889 tonight from Kijiji. It was bought through Wind apparently.
Does Wind still lock their phones, or can I just pop in my Mobilicity sim card?
If it is locked, what's the best way to get it unlocked? Anyone have good result with a particular service, or homebrew method?
Wind does still lock their phones I would suggest if it's on 4.1.1 then use the free way to unlock it but if it's on 4.1.2 the use cellunlockers.net

Hi guys, you can unlock you N7105 via the Samsung hidden menu. [Also works with N7100 and some Galaxy S3 (SIII) variants - NOT ALL]
=======================================
Before doing the instructions below, please double check your phone that it is actually LOCKED by inserting a sim card from a different carrier/provider...
Quote:
Unlock your N7105:
Note: your phone must be running at least Jelly Bean 4.1 otherwise some of the menu choices are not present
Just dial the following keys *#197328640#
Main Menu > [1] UMTS > [1] Debug Screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] Network Lock > Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF > (after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button then select Back, now you are in [6] Network Lock then choose [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ..... wait for a minute then reboot your phone... enjoy!!! There is no confirmation on the phone that the unlock was successfull.... just reboot your phone....
To test, just insert a sim card from a different carrier/provider. If the new sim card works then your phone is now unlocked.
I have done this to my other Note 2 N7105 originally locked to Orange.....
========================================
Do this procedure AT YOUR OWN RISK
========================================
To those who were able to unlock their phone with the method above, can you please post in the thread and let us know which phone model (N7100 or N7105) you have, Country and Network/Carrier your phone was locked to...... and if I have saved you some cash, please click the Thanks button or the Donate button on the left just below my name to buy me a can/bottle of Heinekken, Quilmes, Budweiser, Fosters, Tiger, Stella Artois, or San Miguel ...
========================================
I have mentioned in my old thread that there was a pop up message that says "Conditional call forwarding active" everytime I make a phone call using another SIm card that the phone was not able to use before unlocking.
I can confirm that this was due to my Sim card. It is a very old O2 sim card that I have used for years. I have tried that Sim card on another factory unlocked phone (Galaxy i8160 bought from P4u) and it had the same message.

Actually, you'll want to flash the "LTE" version that's meant for the Qualcomm radio equipped Note 2s. Not the Intel baseband HSPA-only GT-N7100.

Has anyone tried any AOKP based ROMs? If so, how are data speeds?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I've been through many Cyangenmod roms and they've been fine. Your radio should be unchanged as AOSP roms don't come with a modem so data speeds should be the same. Battery life takes a big hit though on anything not Touchwiz from personal experience.
Hey Byangmang whats your favorite ROM then? I would really like to know. Thanks
I've been through most of the popular AOSP and Touchwiz roms before settling with Jedi X as my faily driver. This rom has great battery life and solid performance, with a lot of useful customizations. Definitely recommend that one.

I recently acquired a t-mobile galaxy S3 (t999l)running stock 4.1.2, however my current provider is metropcs and in order to use it i have to unlock it. I currently dont have the money to pay for that so i want to downgrade it to 4.1.1 to do it for free. I was wondering how i could go about downgrading step by step. I would also like to have it rooted.
There is no 4.1.1 for t-999l.. And you don't need to unlock T-Mobile phones to use them with metroPCS.. I know because I've worked for metroPCS.. In other words, you're good to go!!
