[Q] Unlocking the At&t s3 for tombile[need help] - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Ok so basically all i have done is i rooted it. i tried following this tutorial:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1718665 but i get
to step one and i looked in every folder i dont have a nv_data.bin file. i also tried googleing it but that took me to some website to pay for an unlock code which i think is a scam, is it? but i would like to do it for free is there any other tutorials you guys can link me to? and help me. and Will i need to cut my Tmobile sim card so it fits in the S3? it doesnt seem to just fit? Please help thanks!

Follow instructions in this thread to unlock your S3. I have done it, and it works fine (as long as you follow everything).
Pretty straight forward.

Oy vey. Once again, as I told someone in another thread, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the stickied posts before you create a new thread. There's a really well-titled one you should read in particular: Don't Start A New Thread - HTC Espresso:MyTouch 3G Slide Questions & Answers Here!
And this should have really been posted in the Slide Q&A Forum...
But, with that said, these rooting instructions work perfectly fine on a Mac.

[Q] Help with Band Unlock

Ok I am relatively new to moding my phone. I have an incredible 2 I would like to unlock the bands on and be able to use on ATT. I have searched the threads and I am thoroughly confused. I don't understand all the acronyms and searching all of those is daunting. I have rooted my phone with s-on and unlocked the sim, but don't know where to go from here.
Here are the details on my phone
Kernel

Baseband
20.28w.30.0813u_1.09.01.0722
Android version

Not sure on what other information is needed. But any detailed help will be greatly appreciated. I have read the tbh us gsm thread and several hundred others and cant seem to figure out where i need to go from here.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

In short - no, there are libraries that need to be copied over with the apks. Also, you may get better responses in the actual t-mobile GS3 forum.

T-Mo galaxy s3 LTE (sgh-t999L) root questions

Hey guys, before I begin, I've attempted to search the forums & I've been unable to find an adequate answer, so if there is an answer out there to my question & I missed it, my bad.
My question is thus. I have a Galaxy S3 LTE, model sgh-t99L T-Mobile branded & I'm considering rooting & installing a custom rom. I have done this previously with a HTC Sensation 4g successfully & I'm comfortable with the procedure. However, I've been unable to find any information on if it is possible to root the T-Mo S3 LTE model, if there is a way to restore the device to stock after rooting it, and the necessary tools to do so.
I'm happy with my device as is, but I like to tweak things, so I'd like to at least know if its possible to root my device & if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction.
*Note at the time of posting this, the search feature was "unavailable"*
Thank you guys for your assistance
Sean
Ok, first thing you need to know is this is a question, and as such should be asked in Q&A. Also if you were to look in Q&A you would find a dedicated thread for the T999L that is almost always on the first page. And if you read the stickies you would find a link to it in the roll-up thread.
Not lecturing, just helping so you know for the future. Also, when xda search is down, you can Google "xda T999L info" or similar and it should show up.
Your questions are already answered in that thread btw. Link is also in my Sig.

rootet Samsung A50 (SM-A505FN) failed

Hello folks. Although I rooted my phone (Samsung A50) And the problem was, I just watched a short YouTube video about it and did everything he did in the video without even looking at it and getting a premonition like I have to do. Now I only have 16 GB of memory, although I had 32 or 64 GB before. Now I wanted to ask them all how I can do it all again. I've been trying all this time but I can't. I used Odin 3 to root in the last version. And firmwares I've played extremely many. Is now a firmware on it but I do not know which. I'm actually not at all familiar with it, but I wanted to try rooting it and how you see is this was a fail.
And when I try to root something with the files "CSC & CP" it doesn't work and there is always an error. But no error code or anything. I hope someone can help me.
