http://www.theandroidsoul.com/sim-unlock-galaxy-s3-easily-using-the-app-galaxsim/
This app is from a member on XDA, Spock12, and he says that it works on the international Galaxy S3, GT-I9300, but it might not work on the u.s. varients. I was wondering if there was a way to "port" over this application to work with AT&T?
Why not just call at&t and ask for the code?

Service providers give you the code when you ask for them? Why would they lock your sim in the first place than?

If it were that simple then I wouldn't have posted the thread. lol I've been interested in unlocking my Galaxy S3 so I can sell it to buy the LG Nexus 4 unlocked.

I bought my GS3 from ATT then 2 days later called and asked them to unlock it and they did. No problems at all for me. Not sure why so many other people are having issues.

Same for me. I bought it then a week later I got on to the online chat w/ AT&T & just asked them for the unlock code. They gave it to me w/ no problems! Took about 5 minutes to get it from the rep.

We did the same for my wife's White SGS3. She really wanted the iphone 5 (tried to talk sense into her but it was of no use...die hard icrap user). So the deal was if she could sell the SGS3 for enough to get the iphone she could. She called, got the unlock code, went to tmobile and borrowed a micro-sim and finished the unlock. I then rooted it, installed SU and Busybox...then we sold it on ebay for almost $700. So now she has an iphone.
Just call ATT and get the code. If they start to give you trouble just tell them you'll be going out of country to Canada for a while as part of your job and want to take your phone and not the crappy business phone most of the time they'll just give it to you along with instructions. If not, call back in a few minutes and get someone different.

That's what I told em. That I was going out of the country. I don't think it even mattered. You could tell them anything & they'll give it to you. And WHY would you let your wife do something stupid like that!?!?!?

Damn. You might wanna log back online again & talk to a different rep. The person that gave me mine didn't ask any questions & even told me that Samsung supplies the unlock codes for all of their devices as soon as you buy it. If I were you, I would try again. You'll eventually get a cool rep that will give it to you.

indeed, just about to update that the int'l care rep gave me a 8-digit code, saying that if I get a foreign micro sim, the device will ask for it and be ready to go. (hopefully no glitches in there..)
Or you could of just searched around here and you would have found the free way to unlock it without having to waste time online. Check this

Hey Angie,
Have had my F240S for about a month. I am in Ireland. Wonderful phone. You will probably have the dual clock on the lock screen but there is a fix on that on here and I would recommend rooting the phone.
Enjoy it!
Patrick
Thanks Patrick, nice to know there's someone else out there. I've looked at the rooting method, I'll enjoy it for a couple of days and then have a go. I've been told there are a few Korean apps that will be useless to me so it would seem an inevitable thing to do. So used to using odin and Sammobile to do updates for my current phone that I think it's going to be a bit of a learning curve.

Yeah i use a korean version
Simply root it using the simple method listed at Optimus forums then use titanium backup to remove the korean apps you don't want

So i just picked up a G Pad 10.1 on Verizon LTE. I love it. Great bang for the buck. But I never satisfied with stock. Is there anyone out there making ROM's for this device.
Will safestrap work as well?
No Roms yet it can be rooted with towel root but recoveries are still being worked on.

Were you able to get it rooted? I just picked mine up too, it's awesome but definitely want it rooted. I didn't realize it just came out on Verizon earlier this month, so I think there will be a lot more people on here soon looking for rooting and ROMs!

I tried it, but unfortunately it failed on gpad vzw vk700 8.3, probably because I'm using a VM(don't have an "actual" Windows box). The size difference wouldn't matter ...or would it?
Thought it bricked for a second there, it took a full minute holding 'power' to exit the download screen, no brick, but no root either. So here's the dilemma, the script is looking for a serial port (COM1-2-3-4) I mapped COM1 in the VM to tty0 on the host and I'm guessing that's the wrong port, if I do
$dmesg | grep tty
I get
[ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled
[10552.838890] cdc_acm 1-2:1.1: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
and that's not it, it gives me that whether the tablet's plugged in or not,
if I do $lsusb the tablet is listed as mass storage (where as e.g. the keyboard is listed as serial).
If anyone's got experience in guest to host device mapping on virtual machines, I'd appreciate the input, or any clues as to what I could be doing wrong, I'll provide any other info as necessary if anyone's feeling magnanimous, I'm kind of out of ideas at this point.
I get the feeling that if I do a hard install of Win7 it'll work, but I'd really rather not install an entire os on a 'maybe'.
Does anyone know if there will be an update sent out by sprint i dont want to root until i know sprint is done messing with the phones just like my optimus g which by the way was all glass which is one of the best phones ever made do ya research but ounce they stop updating it thats when i got the rooting so i just want to know there done with the phone so i can start throwing roms on my g2

Not sure anyone would know this but sprint themselves. I imagine this device could be left as is but there is no guarantee.
True if it is then im sure its a good send off

It's still early and I have a feeling it will take a while until we have some form of root (if at all), but where should we start? I personally do not know the first place to start, but if anyone out there has any ideas, feel free to discuss them here.
I would like to make a bounty, but it seems like the trend has been a purchase is required to get root.

I was tinkering with the Moto BL unlock site yesterday. Actually got it to the point where I could get the "request unlock key" to show, but would fail upon clicking that to actually getting the emailed key
I hate to be Debbie Downer. But yea.... dont buy this phone is you're expecting root or an unlocked bootloader to happen any time soon.

That most likely doesn't work because Verizon has to lock down everything. I hope it does though. Let us know what happens

Anyone know if Wondershare will root it? I've rooted my tablets with that one click root process before, but not with my DT2 yet. I have my DT2, but not sure why I'd root when there is no development for it yet. btw my DT1 with LP wouldn't root with Wondershare.

The Link is useless as are the Moto chat employees.
They left me realizing the unlock and root may be WAAAY down the road.
I root for the good apps as Verizon talked me out of my unlimited data. where is titanium????
The hotspot app of theirs (V's) does work out of the box. it just eats Data.... Ive been mad for a year over my decision. I MAY refuse the box in the morning just over Moto's shenanigans on not letting me unlock a $700 phone I paid for direct. FOOLS...

So you either don't have unlimited data or are paying the extra $30 a month for the feature.

Again, mobile hotspot doesn't work if you have unlimited data. Since it took about 6 months for the original Turbo to get mofo root, I have a feeling it's gonna take just as long, if ever. They still haven't found a way to write to the system within an image.
It's a shame, they got you good with getting you on a tiered line, and of course they're gonna give free mobile hotspot to tiered users for that exact reason that it eats up data. It gives you a greater chance of going over your data cap, therefore, putting more money into Verizon's greedy little pockets.
I usually average around 75GB a month, so there's no way I will EVER voluntarily give up my unlimited data. They're gonna have to pry it from my cold, dead hands before I ever give up my unlimited data.
