Hello fellow xda members.. a friend of mine bought a Rogers s3 3 weeks ago.. initially upon inserting the Pakistani sim it didn't work.. but then he gave it to a local phone seller and he got the phone back rooted and the sim working.. my question is what has the retailer done to the phone by rooting the phone? Any root app that unlocked the phone? Can confirm that there is no root app installed accept superSU.. any help would be nice..

Root does nothing. He would have unlocked the sim to make it work on any carrier.

I knw the fact that root does nothing.. every android phone of mine is rooted.. the question is why did the phone come back with root superSU installed.. the sim worked after that

My friend does not have any unlock app in app drawer but only super super.. initially the phone was not rooted and sim was not working.. After the phone came back it was rooted and the sim was working.. the question was.. what has root got to do with unlocking the phone

I'm thinking of getting a s3 from rogers how hard is it to get custom roms on the rogers models?
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app
Not really All the Roger's Roms work with other carrier devices like att, bell, and telus.
All i747 models
Are the bootloaders unlocked on them? Just wondering if I pick it up if I can mod right away.

This instructions on this website worked for me: http://gs4.wonderhowto.com/how-to/c...y-s4-so-you-can-use-another-sim-card-0148110/
If you tell T-Mobile you're leaving the country they'll do it for you, as well.

I don't think he's asking how to unlock it, he's asking if there's a way to check if it's already unlocked.
I don't think there is without a sim card other than T-Mobile.
go to an atnt store and ask one of the younger dudes he'll do it

Ok, lets get to the point, ive pretty much come to terms with the fact that i will never be able to unlock my phones bootloader. I was looking for roms with locked bootloader and found this one: i am a noob when it comes to adb push tool, could anyone explain to me step by step on how i could flash this rom. I would be really grateful if someone decided to help. Thank you

You can use it but I don't think anyone here can help,

OP, you can do as you see with your device, but that ROM/work is banned from XDA....so there is no support via XDA regarding said ROM....Thread Closed and Thanks.
I recently unlocked an S3 for a friend, I did the whole downgrade to 4.1.1 method then the *#197338640# now my question is this, if she upgrades the phone when she's on the new network back to 4.1.2 will it ruin the phone being unlocked? Thanks, first time I've ever done this.
