You must be running stock 4.1.1 to use the free unlock method. If you are running 4.3, you will have to buy a code.
If you have to buy a code, you may have to return to stock to enter the unlock code.

Ok guys, I have a quick question. I bought a T Mobile SGS2 brand new and will be unlocking it with which ever site I can find to buy the code off of. But my question is that, if I root it and flash custom roms on it and all that we do with our Android devices, will it be locked again after a flash or root.
Reason why I am asking is because I will be sending this phone to a family member outside of US but before that I will root and flash CM10 on it.
So can someone please tell me if it will stay unlocked?

Once unlocked - forever unlocked, no matter the Rom.
To unlock, you need to be on the original T-mo Rom and you
can request from T-mo Tech. support the unlock code for free.
Awesome news, now.I wont have a problem sending the phone. Thank you for your response, appreciated.

T-Mobile will not unlock
Hello I just wanted to let anyone who stumbles across this to know that T-Mobile will not unlock the phone if you are not currently a T-Mobile customer. I was able to unlock my phone using cellunlocker.net for $25.
Hi all,
I recently completed my contract and received an unlock code for my ATT S3. My phone is currently rooted, but running stock. Will this be a problem when/if I enter the unlock code? I'm looking to move to T-Mobile so any advice is welcome.
Power off the phone, insert a non-ATT sim, boot the phone, enter the unlock code, and you should be fine.
The i747 does not natively support AWS so keep that in mind.

Are you running a stock Samsung ROM? Where did you get the code?
unlock code
From a third party unlock shop who is arguing that they ate sire the code is good
Are you running a stock ROM? Did you check the imei you gave them? Does the imei you get from the dial pad match the imei on the label attached to the back of the phone?

So my Galaxy S3 is rooted running AOKP. I have an unlock code from T-Mobile so I can unlock it and use an AT&T SIM card. When I enter the code after booting the device with the AT&T SIM in it, it says unlock unsuccessful.
Do I have to be unrooted & on stock to do this? Or maybe just on stock? Kind of annoying, any help is appreciated!
EDIT: So I figured it out myself. If anyone has this problem in the future, just flash a touchwiz based ROM then reboot and use the unlock code and it should work.
Hi to all, im new on the forum, i was looking to find a way to unlock my S3 t999 which has the android 4.3 JB, i got a lot of info but it seems that i only Rooted my S3, i found out that there an easy way to do it whit the Service mode but since i have Stock 4.3 its impossible, was looking a way to downgrade to 4.1.1 but probably ill get a brick, so if there any way that i get some help unlocking my device i sure will appreciate it.
After 4.1.2 I think there is no free alternative available (unless your carrier gives unlock codes for free after a certain time period). The best way to unlock your phone would be by contacting your carrier for an unlock code which usually means paying a fee or using a pay service. I would recommend using your carrier because they will offer better support and this would reduce your risk of getting scammed by a online service.
Help please!
Hi! Where do I begin?! So I have a tmobile s3 T999LTE version. Previously I rooted it because I wanted custom rom on my phone. Then I wanted to sell it so I unrooted it. I had read somewhere that after unrooting I should revert to latest stock firmware which was 4.3...BIG MISTAKE! It's now running on 4.3...LUVUBOH1 and I CAN'T UNLOCK IT! Tmobile had sent me a code which did not work, then I switched to metro pcs and purchased a code off ebay,which was the SAME code tmobile had given me. I now have metro pcs on another phone and when I put in my current sim in s3 it doesn't prompt for code! And no key combos are working due to change in dialer. I am stuck and gave no idea how to fix it. Imei is valid and I'm pretty sure I'm running stock 4
3. Help anyone? Please? ???
Was the phone running a completely stock rom when you tried to enter the code? How many times did you try to enter the code?
Hey. Someone sold me an S9 but unfortunatly it is locked to AT&T so I am looking for a free way to get it unlocked. AT&T website for unlocking says network error. Any help for a way? Also how does websites that you need to pay for unlock phones?

did you try the unlock app? I guess there is a unlock app but I don't shure.
other way it`s buy a IMEI unlock code, I know that it works for your device, If ask for a code when you insert a non carrier SIM.
i have the same doubt, I get a galaxy s9 t- mobile. but the phone it`s unlocked, I don't know if the phone was unlocked by a unofficial way.
Go to the Samsung site and talk to the chat people. They'll give you a code. Have for me anyway.
