Ask TMobile for the code .
Will it void my warranty.
No sim lock nothing to do with warranty .
See multiple posts on unlocking .

Thanks for the fast reply JJE.
I have tried contacting Tmobile for the PAC code but was told I need tobe minimum 3 months with them to get the code and pay £15.
Is there are a unlocking method for GT19300 ?

Hi all,
The S3 is my first Android phone, so sorry if the question is redundant or dumb. But i couldn't find any clear info on the subject.
I bought a S3 locked under a promotion to unlock after 2 days with a code that was provided by the carrier, and now i have the
phone unlocked and using a SIM from another carrier.
While reading through the wanam lite thread, i noticed that the kind of unlock i have might not be considered a factory unlock.
My question is if can i flash my phone with a customized Rom (like wanam) and still retain the unlocked state? This kind of unlock is permanent?
Or i will brick my phone?
Thanks

Carrier unlock should be permanent . Ask your carrier is it permanent if you are unsure .
Factory does not lock phones carriers lock phones .

Hi,
I gave my S3 (stock rom french carrier bouygues) to my son and order a new sim to a different carrier than the original one
Sim arrived and my son, try to install it
The problem is that he answer sim 4 digit code a lot of time when network unlock (carrier unlock) code was asked
My S3 has more than 6 month so I asked my provider to give me the unlock code...
They did but it doesn't work.
Call again.. they told me that carrier unlock code input is limited and if the unlock code doesn't work I had to send it to Samsung to unlock it.
I spent my week end to try all possible unlock process exposed on this xda amazing forum and didn't succeed with anyone
: Voodoo with and without Patch and busibox, GalaxSim Unlock, menu *#197328640# ...
Result ;
Voodoo & GalaxSim can't read SIM unlock statut
Code *#7465625# doesn't work
*#197328640# doesn't have the Unlock Phone menu ("Menu doesn't exist)
All those process has been done with new installs, wipe each time (makes me going mad!!!)
Is any one has a solution.
Thanks for you help
nb : hope my english is enough good to make my problem understandable...
No, with the new efs format all the previous unlock methods don't work. You'll need a service centre.

It was S3 MINI but also on xxemg4 baseband...
Might not be anything but did you upgrade to version 4.3 ?
If you did this might be the problem, I have an S4 that is locked to Bell and have tried multiple sites and Bell directly, all gave me the same unlock code.
When I tried to enter the code it kept saying unsuccessful
My guess is that along with the update Samsung locked some security feature for unlocking the phone
Right now my option is to sell the phone or wait until Samsung launches a new update

Hi,
I was wondering if rooting phone will voids it's warranty? I'm not sure as I never own and played with a Sony phone before.. Only Samsung.=/ thanks in advance!
yes
rooting
sim unlocking
bootloader unlocking
all count above count
You have to check your country's specific laws to find out. It is different in many regions.
For example - in the European Union rooting your phone does NOT void the warranty, as guaranteed by the European Comission.
Alright. Thanks guys

Hello,
Sadly, there isnt a free way of doing sim unlocks for this certain phone (again, sadly), the only thing you could do is wait for a 2-year contract to expire to get it unlocked by them OR buy an unlock code from a popular simunlock site (be aware - there are many sites that scam) :/
Best regards,

Hi
I've used my Galaxy S6 Edge for a few months now. It was carrier unlocked.
Today, a message popped up on my phone saying it needs a carrier unlock code.
I don't know the original carrier, as I've bought the bought from a stranger.
Is there a method to find out the carrier ? Can I unlock it for free using root ?
I'm willing to pay, but I'm guessing I need to know the country and carrier.
Phone Info says only Samsung at the manufacturer.
Can somebody help me ?
