Dont forget to pray on knees before starting.
Such things is always a risk.
And read carefully what the freegee says

Hello All,
I just got my new S3 with T-Mobile, but I'm not sure what to do next. Is there any ways to safely root s3 yet? Is there a guide for bloatware removal? Thanks for all the help!

You should root with the "No tripping flash counter option".

Hey guys, i want to get the zv8 update since im on zv7 and the keyboard bug is annoying. I have a unlocked bootloader though. Is there a way to relock the bootloader to update? Or should I create a more recent nandroid, use lgnpst to reset it, update, then use custom restore to put just the /data back on?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
FreeGee will relock your bootloader.
If you're using CWM, it depends on how you backed it up. Changed from the default .dup and people claim it work. I know TWRP works because thats what I use.
I'm just not sure you should restore from a backup from zv7 to zv8. I think it'll mess things up.
Or you could just wait. There are some ROM's being released VERY soon. As well as the Zv9 update.
I'd wait for the zv9 flash able zip. Or a ROM based on it
Z8 doesn't fix the messaging problem. Supposedly z9 does but there isn't a root or unlocker for it yet
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Well the freegee app from the play store is paid, which someone said is the only way to relock it:/ and the update notification keeps popping up while im texting and such.

I'm almost sure you can relock it using lgnspt. Hop on the irc and ask. They'll be able to help you for sure. If I was on my comp I would definitely help you

Buy the freegee app in the playstore (only a dollar), its by far the easiest way to unlock.. Make sure you're rooted first though

We always hear the bad in everything, and seldom the good. That being said, there are 100's if not 1000's of people that have rooted and unlocked successfully. But there is always that chance. That's why the disclaimers.
Here's some threads in case you get into trouble.

Yes I used freegee on two devices.. Its only a small percentage of devices that wouldn't work with the app. If by chance your device doesn't work, then you'll have to jump on irc to pick up a specially made version of freegee.. I believe autoprime has it.

T Mobile.
They will give you the unlock code if your phone is paid off.
It's also easy to unlock it yourself. There is a guide around here somewhere. The search feature will find it for you.

I had a code given to me from T-Mobile, and it DIDN'T work! They tried another code, and it too didn;t work.
I tried Chainfire's offering and it did the unnlock in seconds! The benefit with Chainfire's procedure is that it's reversible...
You should give it a shot! It's better than waiting for T-mobile, cause you have to wait for their code to be sent to you.
