Does Flashing SGH-I747 4.3 to a custom ROM will remove the carrier lock of the phone?
No, you are Still locked to your carrier
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk
Couple of things to keep in mind:
1) if you want to unlock the phone, get a code and unlock the phone while running a stock ROM. You will not be able to enter the code using a custom ROM; and
2) do not attempt to downgrade the bootloader. Any attempts to downgrade could, and probably will, brick your phone.
Does this really works?
I have read through the forums. And I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/app-galaxsim-unlock-1-02-jb-compatible-t1846451 Does this really work?

I doubt it. If it did, there would be a big thread about it in the i747/i747m forum. Also, under FAQ, it states the following: support international Galaxy S3 i9300 (Us qualcomm based GS3 are not supported at this time)
The last post in that thread was 2013-06-14.
That unlock app will not work as it does not support U.S S3 variants
There's a working downgrade to 4.1.1 check it out and while on it, try the free unlock then upgrade again
Edit: my bad.. You can't do the free unlock even of you downgrade because the bootloader is still 4.3... Only way to do it once you're on 4.3 bootloader is to purchase an unlock code
Good luck

Can someone from Canada please confirm or deny that the T-Mobile ROMs work on WIND/Mobilicity Notes? I really want to get the Multi-Window features and a bunch of other goodies, but I do not want to brick my precious. :crying:
Thanks a ton!

Yes it will work. Just need to unlock it. Don't even need to root it to unlock it.
(Only need to unlock it if it's from mobilicity ofcourse)

Unlock? You mean unlock the bootloader, or the phone? I already have a SGH-T889V Locked on WIND (Probably), that I purchased directly from WIND and it works perdectly with my SIM Card. I only want to root it and flash Custom ROMS.

Sry I must have been drunk when I read your first post lol
I'm note sure about rooting it. It's baseband is different than the US TMobile variant. (US is LJ1 I think, my Mobilicity one reads LJ4)
I posted in the toolkit thread if it will work on our canadian ones. I hope someone replies soon.
Not sure if you mean will a tmobile note2 work on wind? Currently using a tmobile note 2 stock running on Wind... Just unlocked phone and evening working fine.

It should work. The internals are the same and the T889 and T889v are listed on sammobile on same page for stock ROMs. Just make sure to store a nandroid and back up your efs

1) By unlock you mean I need to sim unlock it first to use T mobile SGH-T889 roms
2) SGH-T889V has wireless charging pins....does those work ?

Does anybody have a nandroid backup of the wind note 2 i messsed up my phone and forgot to make one
Thanks
whats d difference..?
whats the difference if u put a Tmobile rom in a canadian wind G N-2 ...??
Thannks..!
A SIM unlocked T-Mobile Note II works on Wind Mobile or Mobilicity without any modification.
I am looking for comment from Canadian users of T-Mobile Note II to confirm if the performance would improve after flashing the T889V modem.
Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
To answer your question, yes performance will improve after flashing the T889V modem, but the difference is very slim. Data speeds and reception are generally the same, but the T889V modem might get half a bar of signal where the tmobile one will get none.
First off, I'm a n00b.
I've been searching around, trying to find a list of Roms that are for locked bootloaders but I can't seem to find one.
Could someone just post a few roms that are for locked bootloaders?
I would unlock my bootloader but the risk seems too high/ I'll lose my warranty.
Thanks beforehand.
PS. Does anyone know how to get CM10 working on locked bootloader for Arc S

There are a lot of roms for locked bootloaders in the development section lol. Just press a thread that looks good, press Control and F, and type in bootloader to see whether that particular Rom is for locked or unlocked. Roms based in stock ICS or GB are for locked bootloaders

Jaders ultimate hd 2 Rom is a good one. Fast, stripped of bloatware and smooth.
I do agree with the previous posts an hour or two searching the dev section would turn up what your looking for, but come on guys asking for help in the q&a section im sure you can help more than just sating look, it is Christmas after all

Hi Folks,
I am going to upgrade my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-T989 to Android 4.4.2 KitKat. The phone is currently locked to t-mobile with the stock rom 4.0.4.
My question is that; do I need unlock the phone FIRST, and then I can upgrade the rom?
Thanks.

Not sure, mine came factory unlocked for use on any network.
There's a post in the general section that covers permanent unlock, you might read through it.
Yes. Unlock, install custom recovery, flash SU binaries, boot, install super SU.
The unfortunate part is most links on XDA for some of that are dead. Need to search Google.
Also, good to Odin flash 4.1.2 first and make sure it works. Then recovery, root, etc.

you only need to unlock it to use on a different network
if you just want to upgrade your rom- install custom recovery and flash rom-

I meant bootloader unlock..... But now I remember.... Not applicable to the S2. ?
Since my t989, I've had Moto X, N5 and M8. All with bootloaders I had to unlock.

I have purchased a Tmobile Note 3 because its bootloader is unlocked and I can install custom roms. I plan to use it on AT&T notework.
Based on my research I have not been able to find a way to sim unlock for free. Chainfire's region away does not work with version 4.4+
Asking the group if anyone is aware of another way to sim unlock other than buying a unlock code from eBay for 25?
cellunlocker.net ,imei-unlocker.com and unlockunit.com take your pick.

Yeah - Did not work. I ended up buying code off ebay
What about downgrading to the 4.3 (TMBBMI7) and doing the free software unlock? Will it work?
Is the stock ROM required for unlocking?
Got the proper code from T-mo. Running CM-11. Unlock code doesn't work.
Am stuck because I don't want to brick.

I always use:
https://www.safeunlockcode.com
My code has always been delivered to my email in less than 5 minutes. I had to go through a couple of crap/scam sites before I found it though. I paid $35.95 for the unlock code for my T-Mobile Note 3 and they refunded me $14.40 just for submitting a selfie of me with the phone while smiling. That was a year ago. The last T-Mobile Note 3 I purchased a code for from them was around $30.

Yes it is. Stock rom required.

So what happens if you have it unlocked with the stock rom and then decide to upgrade? Will the unlock remain when upgrading the rom and bootloader?
So far, my experience is that the unlock sticks through changing bootloader and kernel.
Its just the initial unlock that needs the factory software.

Cost me US$20 and 2 days turn around.
Phone unlock and getting LTE in Singapore now
who can help me to unlock boot loader of ZC550KL (Android 6.01 TW version )?
I tried many solutions in these similar threads but all failed ?
My phone firmware version : ww_8989_13.8.26.28_20160425
Thanks in advance for your helpful!
You can't be on marshmallow and unlock bootloader. Flashong mm relicks bootloader and no unlock yet. So if you want unlocked bootloader you have to downgrade to Lollipop.

Go to asus official website and then go to download section of driver n tools...then download according to your phone's model. Asus provides its official bootloader unlocker in their download section of official website.
Hope it will be helpful enough.
