[SOLVED][HELP] Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747(M) ? SIM Unlock?

Hello, a friend of mine bought a S3 from america but now lives in germany, the phone only had english, canadian and french as system languages, so i rooted it for him and installed a custom rom, carbon rom 4.2.2 and have set it on german, but whenever i insert a sim card it asks for a network code and he cant call or have 3g because he doesnt have network.
what should i try to do, change the apn settings?
i also tried editing the nv_data.bin, but since its a custom rom there is none in the root efs folder of the device, i really need help making this device working, any advice or suggestions?

Please search before posting as this has been covered numerous amounts of times... You have to be on stock to get the unlock pin prompt and it you want to free unlock there is a thread on that as well.....

Doesn't Work For AT&T SGH-I747
Hey, While you're busy being a demeaning know-it-all you should know that procedure DOESN'T work for all the Stock AT&T phones.
I have a Stock AT&T SGH-I747
After Selecting PERSO SHA256 OFF and going back my number 4 option reads: "[4] RAT_FREE_SUPPORITNG ON"
I did not mis-spell that either.
It would be nice if you could help instead of acting superior.
Thanks

If you had followed the rules of the site and searched for your information before posting you would have found it covered in great detail that you must be on android 4.1.1 for this method to work, but instead you decided to just cry about it.

There's no crying, I just tire of some of the brainiacs here acting superior instead of actually helping. I did see that, however I'm also not sure about how to go about doing that and "some" people suggested trying it anyway, so I did.
Everyone is aware you can go buy an unlock code for $25-$30, and it will work around all of these little roadblocks, but we're supposed to be here to help each other. So, someone much smarter than you figured out how to do this to the phone in whatever version the phones current state is.
You're just quoting other people, not offering any help
Now, if "You" are aware of a procedure to accomplish this the way the phone sits then please offer some help, otherwise Lose The Attitude and try treating people with a little respect.

Pretty simple if you ask me, which you just did. Flash back to stock 4.1.1, spend the money, or call your carrier and try your luck with them.

Can you please give me firmware 4.1.1 for AT/T SGH-I747. I have searched all the way but i am getting links only connected with banned links. So i despretly need help.

Okay. I know it's asking a lot from you but let's think for a minute. Everything I have read says the phone has to be on 4.1.1. The method you are trying which is, using the dial pad to access the phone settings and not purchasing an unlock code or calling your carrier, only works for 4.1.1 which you obviously are not on currently, hence your predicament. Since you lack the skills to search and read how to downgrade, like you stated, the only other options are to purchase the code or call your carrier. He gave you all three options that work and you are saying he is useless? Your comments are the most useless comments I have read in a long time. It's like trying to make sense out of nonsense. You are asking for something that doesn't exist and it doesn't take much "intelligence" to figure that out. Good luck.
P.S. I have a 66 Thanks Meter and only 156 posts. How helpful are your posts?

[Q] Chances of AT&T root?

Hi all, sorry if this is an old question, but what are the chances of the G4 on AT&T being rooted eventually? I'm really interested in this phone and I may get it tonight, but I'd really like to know if there will be root availability in the future. Thanks so much for any responses! This looks like a great step up from my Galaxy S4!

dude, sit tight, wait - asking like a week after the phones been released is just ignorant

I wouldn't say it's ignorant at all. I'm just wondering if there's any hope at all compared to something like the Galaxy S6.

its pretty ignorant IMHO....definition of ignorant: "lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated" - - -asking a question like "the chances of the g4 being rooted" - do you want a percentage that is completely estimated or would you like me to call LG and AT&T and ask them what are the chances of it being rooted? you could research dev and try to root it yourself ....
i would say theres a 55% chance being that the intl version has been unlocked and rooted....
FYI, people still ask about the chances of Galaxy Note 4 being rooted, its been since September....you just have to sit tight and be patient or research dev and do it yourself

Again, I wanted to know if it was possible or if it's hopeless like the GS6. Sorry for trying to make an informed decision, I guess that makes some others salty.
Thank you for your answer, though. That's all I was looking for initially.

If you read around you would already have your answer

There's a root method for the AT&T S6, so why say it's hopeless? Duh.

Don't worry about salty people. They don't understand simple social etiquette. They think that the internet allows them to be callused and heartless.
I would base there answer on how popular the phone is and the demand for root from the community. If those two things are high, the chances are good there will be a root method available. Doesn't promise that the method will be simple or in a timely manner but anything is possible with XDA. Or like the previous posts, if you're adventurous, you can try to do it yourself.

is the note 5 dead in here

Is the note five dead in here or still on the hunt for root

My understanding is that if you want root or unlocked bootloader, do NOT buy an AT&T device. The unlocked international version is capable of root and custom roms, from what I have read on the forums.

Yeah well I want to try to take a stab at it so point me were I can go to learn to mess with are I mean are only bootloader I have Kali liunx pc that's why I asked if there is a team working on any of this for note 5 if not I just want to do this for my self you guys do know we have oem unlock witch that is a good sign then you guys have found exploits to I have not upgraded to nugget I'm on mm how many years has it been since this phone been out like it was one said to me in another forum u can't expect someone to do it for u all I ask is you point me in the direction to mess with are bootloader only and also tackle knoxs my other ? Is can I downgrade I'm asking all these questions in one post because like I said I want to do this for me I'm learning wifi hacking and I want to learn Android cause iPhone sucks I have note 4 unlocked T-Mobile but the software sucks or meaning custom roms they have yes I know all att bootloader are locked dose not mean they can't be hacked u got to take effort on wanting to do it anyways I'm post pic of what I got I'm willing to put in work if I new were to start

Even googling stuff can help https://www.bestandroiddatarecovery.com/unlock-samsung-bootloader.html

I'm glad I'm just sending this phone back you guys are no help a bunch of wusses to me but what ever going to T-Mobile

Most of us couldn't understand what you wanted. Mainly because the only time you used any form of punctuation was when you were too damn lazy to type the word "question" and used a question mark instead.
But hey, since you already thanked us for nothing, then that's exactly what you'll get. Have a great time figuring it out on your own.

Rogers S9+ - Which Processor Version

Hey everyone.
I'm new to rooting. Haven't touched this site in several years. I was wondering what type (snapdragon/Exynos) the Rogers Canada S9+ is, and what would be the steps, or link, to root it? Thanks

Rogers s9+ has a snapdragon soc. If you want to root it sell it and buy the international s9+ with an exynos soc.

So you're essentially saying this can't be rooted?

Do you or anyone happen to know a way to get that to work without root, or any other DSP?

Snapdragon root ever possible?

So I got a great deal from sprint about half off a S20u And I jumped thinking I'd be able to root it. it's already been 30 days and I'm going to return the device since I thought it would be able to be rooted. will a root ever be available. What device can I purchase from a US carrier that is able to be rooted and remove the bloat.

Don't hold your breath waiting for Samsung to offer an unlocked bootloader on any US variants. There are no US Carrier Branded or US Unbranded devices which can be unlocked. If you want no bloatware then the US Unbranded device is an option but if you need root you'll have to consider a Snapdragon International or Exynos Global variant. On these devices Carrier Aggregation and Warranty Repair would be challenging at best.

Dose one plus make devices that ship with unlockable bootloader?

Will the bootloader be unlocked in the future, is that a possibility, haven't been on the forums in 7-8 years. This phone is incredible, but the bloatware makes it useless kills battery can't disable apps. Someone help im over 30 days and don't know if I wanna return. I'm paying $15USD/MONTH FOR 18 MONTHS with buyout for $250USD so it's quite an offer to refuse. But I need root access and a custom rom on THIS baby!

The only one who can answer this is a well placed Samsung Executive, certainly not a CSR. No one has a crystal ball in this regard but I doubt it's going to happen anytime soon. Bloatware is the downside when you acquire a Carrier Branded Device and the $$$ you saved lose their value in the long run. Nowadays most carriers offer decent pricing on month to month prepaid without a long term commitment. Better off IMHO to wait a few months for price drops and feedback before purchasing any device. Saving a couple hundred on a smartphone you really weren't suited for doesn't add up.

To me it just seemed like a post bragging about him having root when others can't get it and obviously wanna know to do so.

just because someone achieves something and let ppl know it is possible but cant provide details for understandable reasons such rules is not in any way bragging about anything.
I dont make the rules on here, in fact I support the rules and enforce them even considering I am a moderator.
Just because someone doesn't want to tell you details (because its simply not allowed) doesn't give you the right to judge people and post negatively about them in public. If you have any issues with me or anyone else I suggest you send them a PM next time.
Showing people that it is possible gives hope to those who feel it is imppssible and hopefully encourages them to keep at it.
I have no reason to lie to anyone and as you can tell uf you did any research on my past activities/posts you should see that every time I achieved root I posted freely to XDA so everyone could take advantage of it. So hopefully you understand if I could post publicly I would have already done so.
I did try to help people out and had them PM me and was advised not to do so even via PM because it is a paid service of which selling these types of services are not allowed on XDA. It is a paid service because the means to unlock the bootloader requires a purchase from a third party. There is no way to provide a "free" method as well as said service is device specific so there is no universal method and each unlock is tied to one device.
Think of it similar to those websites that offer sim unlocks. They are paid services tailored to one specific device. Paid services are not allowed on XDA since typically people use these methods to profit and in the past there have been a number of shady schemes hence why rules were formulated.
I hope this clears things up and you refrain from name calling and negatice remarks to people such as your last comment I quoted.

Instead of complaining take the initiative and hit someone up on telegram that you know has done this and im sure they would be glad to guide you too the proper place. Like elliwigy said it’s against xda rules to post such stuff here so why complain about it here. There are threads in s10 and s20 threads with people posting stuff for US unlocked bootloader phones. Hit those people up on telegram or outside of xda because people want too abide by the rules of xda and xda does not want this stuff posted on their forums.
