What would happen? Can any developers comment on this? I have a tmobile phone and I was wondering if this could be an alternative to unlocking the phone for use on at&T. thanks.
Doing that will not unlock your phone. You need the unlock code...you maaaaay cause a brick.

Probably will, you get an unlock code.
I believe you could brick it, I've never had a phone re-lock with diffrent firmware. The best case is you will have no reception due to different carrier frequency.

Hello, my T-mobile SGS3 is (factory) unlocked and I use it with another entirely different carrier.
Is it safe to flash the new UGLV1 radio??
Thanks
Very doubtful!
There are a number of people that had problems when flashing radios on other carriers. Particularly with the T999V.
What carrier are you with? What is your phone model? And what is its current baseband?

I think it is still a SGH-T999. The baseband is T999UVLEM
You msy be able to use the other radios then. Depends on your carrier. UVLEM works so others should as well.
If not you can always flash back to original.

Hi,
Are u talking about fm radio? Does galaxy s3 support it?
It would be really cool to have an fm radio which would not require an internet...

I live in Brazil and my carrier is Vivo. I bought the phone from Amazon while I was in the US and it came unlocked.
I am very afraid to flash the new radio... Isn't my UVLEM modified to be unlocked? If not, what is modified, then? What is different in my phone from other SGH-T999s that makes it unlocked?

Flashing a radio will not re-lock your device. Stick to radios that have T999 in their name - the others won't work and could potentially brick your device.
Thanks for the help, flashed with no problems.
Check out the modem flasher tool on the dev section. Makes it very easy to test and find the best radio for your phone and area.

I got my UNlock code put in a at&t SIM..... put in code... then it said unlock successful...
But upon checking this unlock with this code.
*#7465625# it still says locked!!!
Will someone punch in this code that has there phone unlocked and see if it says network lock off.
Or if it still says locked!!!???
It's driving me crazy......

I purchased mine as unlocked but haven't had the chance to try another company's sim card on it to verify that.
I checked with the *#7465625# code and it looks exactly like yours.
I unlocked my sgs2 and tried that code and everything is OFF.

It looks like you are in different ROM. To unlock ur phone you need to be on stock ROM!
I did it on my s2. I was unable to use code on AOKP so i flash stock rom, unlock , rooted again and back to stock again.

Not really. Looks like that code won't show the correct status for S3. This is how it looks on stock rooted.

I was on stock when I did it... rooted... but stock... seems to me that on the tmo. Version.... it doesn't display properly....
I put in att chip and it sent me a welcome message and I can call 611 .... just got an activated chip.... no money on it thow...
But on you tube it shows some s3 switching to off below the lock statues ... it MUST be the tmo version.... wish I could see ur posted pics rakeshchn......

I requested and received the unlock code from T-Mobile. I tested this by making a call using an AT&T sim card.
My screen is identical to the one above, including the typo. My phone is definitely unlocked!!!
Same thing, as all of you. I get the same pop up. I tried it yesterday with an att SIM card and it worked on their network.

Nope, your good to flash to your heart's desire lol
Quick question, sorry its a bit off topic, how did you guys get your phone unlocked?
I've read threads about Tmobile being friendly enough to send you a unlock code, but I currently have AT&T. Does that affect the process any?
Yes att does give out lock codes ... just have to wait a certain amount of days..and once unlocked always unlocked... flash away..

Just unlock the Sim card.
Either find the unlock threads on here (there are a few) or phone Rogers and ask for the unlock code.

Nope. The i747-M does not have the AWS frequency support required for Mobilicity.

I recently acquired a t-mobile galaxy S3 (t999l)running stock 4.1.2, however my current provider is metropcs and in order to use it i have to unlock it. I currently dont have the money to pay for that so i want to downgrade it to 4.1.1 to do it for free. I was wondering how i could go about downgrading step by step. I would also like to have it rooted.
There is no 4.1.1 for t-999l.. And you don't need to unlock T-Mobile phones to use them with metroPCS.. I know because I've worked for metroPCS.. In other words, you're good to go!!

4.1.2 is all we have

I tried putting my already activated metropcs sim card in and it asked for sim unlock code. Is there anything I can do to resolve that.

What phone did you have before? Was it cdma or gsm? It shouldn't ask for one.. also is your area using cdma or gsm network?

Have a nice offer for tab S 8.4 sm-T707A.
I don't live in USA. Want to use it with GSM network in Europe.
S it possible to replace the rom with T705 rom?

No, that is a bootloader locked device and not able to be customised at all.
And there is no way to unlock bootloader? I don't care about Knox triggered.

Unfortunately not. Your only hope is kingroot. If you get root you can at least customise it.
So, it's not worth 200$... (New)?

You may be able to get the AT&T unlock code to use it on another carrier. I have the same tablet and am currently waiting for an unlock code from AT&T. My first request was denied, so I got on the chat and they escalated the request as all requirements are met. So we'll see.
The unlock won't remove the AT&T start logo or at&t apps but should allow it to be used on another carrier, if that's what you're looking for.
I was told not to expect a response from AT&T until after the 19th, so hopefully they come through for me.
