just quote me here if it works for you... gonna try it too...

Don't bump within 24 hours.
Most secret codes don't work anymore, contact whomever sold you the code for help -it should normally be input when you insert a new SIM card.

no good for me bro...
i just send my my phone on a skilled cellphone technician... and he get rid of my problem... now i just avoid flashing stock roms and stock based custom roms... but aosp roms are ok to flash coz they dont mess with efs folder...
just go to a cp repair shop and state your problem... this way you could also use your s3... thats the only thing you could do for now bro.

Yea, it's same IMEI in everywhere.
Thanks
I suggest you to flash some ROM, i think it will remove any SIM Locks and so one. Find ROM on development forum for your phone.
You can get a Worldwide sony ericsson Unlock Code from imeicodes.co.uk this however takes about a week to get your code, so you need to be patient. The code will work fine aslong as you havent used up your tries to enter it (just like a nokia phone). It's a good idea to check your unlock code attempts before ordering a code by doing the following:
Press menu < < menu < menu menu <
Then you can check the counter [0 or 5].
If it says 0 then you cannot enter codes.
And STOP giving your IMEI on public sites!

Thanks. but, now im trying to install custom rom to my mobile.
Thanks again for infor
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888227is not ROM but tutorial on making new one. I'm using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059361 and it's very good. First you have to check if your Baseband Version is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 (Settings→Phone info (I don't remember how it exactly is in English). If not, you must use FlashTool to change it. Next, you have to root your device, install ClockWorkMod (xRecovery) and flash your new ROM.
I'm not sure if it will remove SIM Lock although it's worth of trying. Ask if you have any questions.
Sorry about my english if I wrote sth wrong

BIG thanks for Big Help. I'll try it and post here about my result. Thanks a lot guys again .
Good night. (3:25 AM here )
99% sure roms don't remove sim locks :<
Flashing a ROM has nothing to do with your SIM Lock. So no flashing will magically unlock your device. You need to get the proper unlock code, or have someone with a unlock dongle to do it.

Sure if you got more tries to use with correct unlock code you still can do that.
Else you can get it unlocked via dongle.
You can try and PM the guy in this thread:

Samsung galaxy a03s cricket sm-a037u

OK so anyone know why I was able to download a firmware from t-mobile I think, cause I couldn't find the aio, region for my phone, anyway so a phone thats not suppose to have android 12 let me flash it, it's still cricket, but now it has android 12, 4.1 home or whatever Samsungs yea, I also tried flashing a stock version of vzw variant and it also let me, I mean not sure if it's normal but it worked, although it does throw a error, then you factory reset and takes a minute to restart, just saying fir anyone with this phone, to give it a shot, lol but I ain't responsible for brick, but there's always a way out of that
I have an a037U1 on android 12. Also, you won't find cricket firmware.
anyone knows how to unlock a037u cricket network? i already tried with the inside app and it always displays " sorry this device can not be unlocked ".
thx for your help.
