Hi all,
does anyone happen to know a method to get rid of a SIM/netlock on an i9250, preferably permanently?
The last threads I found regarding this topic are either pointing at no longer existing downloads, or describe manual methods that worked with 4.x builds only,
which doesn't help me much since I recently flashed the 5.0.2 AOSP ROM on my device, and I'd prefer to keep that.
Please point me in the right direction...
Best regards
~Woo

Hi, I am a noob at this but after looking around on the net for a day, I'm already confused...
OK, here's the situation, its fairly simple... I bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE i9305 (UK EE) but want to unlock it.
It is running Android 4.1.2 and therefore "The Trick" doesn't work as it is missing the final option...
1) I have therefore read that I can downgrade it to 4.1.1 and then use the trick...
2) or I could "Root" it....
Which of these is most straight forward. I don't mind Rooting it cos I gather it's not THAT risky...
So far, I've downloaded Odin but don't know what to do with it....I also just want to use Stock ROM and don't know where I can get that... there are too many other ROMs to choose so just want to keep it simple.
Please can someone help?? I realise other people may have asked this question before, so therefore if someone could point me in the right direction and show me a simple and easy to follow guide, I would be most grateful.:good:
Many Thanks in advance!

Wrong forum. Ask your questions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563
Hello guys, im newbie in roms and all the phones stuff so please dont criticise I have a HTC Desire Z with Android 2.2. My question here is how to update it to newer? 4.4.4 would be awesome, i want newest i can. I found some posts on couple of forums about this but every was like "format, flash, update, boooom done". Can anyone tell me how to do it from begining? I mean how to format it the way it should be, how to flash, what do i need etc.
Also i found this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374927
Is it good? I know i shouldnt ask what rom should i pick, im just asking is it good to use on this phone.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
The second post in this thread will help you understand the initial process
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348266
You need to use gfree to exploit and root if you want radio s-off which is the only way you should root this phone. And be sure to read through all those links to understand fully first, I know it may be overwhelming but it is important.
As for best ROM, we don't make suggestions in xda but the third and forth post will link you to every to available. Gingerbread runs the best overall but there are many ICS and jb ROMs that work almost as well (some will say better) and KitKat has come a long way where many will find that it suffice for daily use.
You'll have to try a few, make backups, try a few more to see what works best for you
If you get stuck somewhere just ask in that thread and many are there to jump in and help
Best of luck!
Kay so i downgraded my phone with fre3vo and rebooted, everything was fine. Now the guide says i should head back to official rooting guide on wiki but the problem is i cant root it now. At downgrading it worked with no problems but now i just cant do it. Can anyone help please?
You will have to be more specific
Okay i did it and it works now i just misunderstood few things there
Hey folks, I have a international european one m8 that runs lollipop. I was wondering if anyone could link me to a recent guide about how to go about rooting it. I know that there's the all in one kit that people used but I went on that thread and it seems unused for some time which gave me doubts about whether it would be recent and work for lollipop. Can someone therefore suggest a more recent guide or tell if the all in one toolkit method still works?
Thanks so much, cheers.
Hi all...
Trying to find definitive answer, and new to S3s. I have cobbled together an L710 from parts, and now want to install CM10 or CM12. I originally started the project with an i535 from Verizon, and got one with a version that was "knoxed", so could not go to CM.
Is MK3 knoxed? if it is, can I assume (like on the i535) that tryng to install another bootloader will trip and brick?
I have done some searching, but don't see a similar thread that has big warning about Knox, like on the Verizon forum. If anyone knows where that is, please do point me, so I can RTFM.
Thanks in advance...Eric
OK...been reading through the noob thread, and if I am reading correctly, even though 4.3 and later are knox'd, it does matter, since it can be disabled.
Big difference than the SCH-I535 Verizon model, huh?
Am I reading correctly?

Hey guys, I'm here as a guest in your forums.
Maybe you've seen me in the Galaxy S5 forums or more recently in the OnePlus One forums, maybe not. Either way hello. So I know enough to get by as far as ADB, sideloading, rooting, loading ROMs, firmware, etc. Anyways, I don't know much about the ZF2 but his is in a bootloop and I need the fastest, easiest way to get it from bootloop with no bootloader on it whatsoever, to stock. So who's got the goods? I've recently downloaded the toolkit from the General forum, but it requires me to have a bootloader to access any functionality. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Never mind, I found some advice on the dev forum. Take it easy guys!
