hey guys , I just I just instaled the new update from Kies on my Galaxy S III, it is not jelly bean, just another update, dont know what it does, but I have problem with sim unlocking it back after this update. I had sim unlock enabled before, I rooted and sim unlocked using Samsung GS3 Int toolkit v5, but after this update, the phone does not have the same build number, and it is not listed in the toolkit, so I rooted another way np. but when I follow the same guide on how to simunlock it. it does not work this time can anyone help ?, PS, mabey stupid to update in the first place, but I have to.
hope some1 has an anwser thx
Hi all!
Well, my problem is that I can't do the sim unlock and I think it is because the phone has 4.1.2 and a rooted kernel.( the phone isnot mine,owns to one friend)
I've been trying with the 2 most popular apps : Galaxy s2 sim unlock by chainfire and odia, and galaxy s unlock (this I think no root needed).
I'm thinkin that I can't unlock it because the kernel is not the official one. The phone is from Orange (Spain) and yesterday i was trying to flash the original firmware downloaded from Sammobile and it crash, so I had to flash a kernel (ApoloJb) to make it run again.
I am crazy to get the unlock sim... because If I get the sim unlock my friend will give me the S2
Thanks and sorry about my english :/

You need to report your post and get it moved to the verizon s3 forum. This is the i9300 international version. Anything you flash from here will brick your phone plus the i9300 does not have a locked bootloader.
Hello everyone !
Lately I've wondered what happens if I upgrade my Samsung Galaxy s2 i9100P firmware from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 , will my phone get sim locked or network locked or something like that if I make that upgrade .(I can't upgrade via Kies or from Software Update it says that it's unavailable in my country) so I will have to upgrade with Odin . I need an answer here , please ...

If you had performed a factory unlock or the phone came unlocked when it was new, then no, there is no way for it to lock back. If you had unlocked via a root or software method, then there is a chance the upgrade would re-lock.

My phone was unlocked when I bought it , so thanks a lot , I appriciate your help.
Hi all ,
quick question for the experienced , got an s3 and have been installing roms etc and working fine, however i paid a local shop to unlock stock rom 4.3, as they couldn't do it on a custom rom, so i flashed it back to stock with kies and its working perfect
my question is , i wanna flash to a custom rom(archidroid), but i worried that i may lose my carrier unlock , the shop used some kind of box to unlock it ??
so if i flash it , what should i not do and what should i do to not lose the carrier unlock , the phone is rooted and unlocked on stock 4.3,
any help would be greatly appreciated
The carrier unlock is permanent. You cannot relock it.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
