[Q] Unlock free! - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to unlock free Samsung S3 mini ?
I`m tempted to use S3 unlocking method but i`m a little it afraid of this.

I think that's for sim unlocking so you can use other phone Networks. It will only be sim free.

And you can't use unlocking sim without root first.

No u can get unlock codes to use your phone sim free but it won't be free i think. On firmware download site on this forum you can unlock the phone. Go too GT-I8190 firmware. Go to General page to find your firmware.

My uncles one was unlocked mate. My normal gs3 from them is unlocked to as I'm using it on amaysim

Cheers, I figured it would be. Its been awhile since I have seen a decent phone locked to any Telco and I suppose its also because of how easy it is to unlcok them.
The reason I ask is because I have obtained a second GS3 4G and I will be selling it so I needed to know if its unlocked before I off load it. Id prefer to leave the phone sealed in the box,
I would try mine but 1. I dont have a foreign sim to try it on. 2. its already rooted and had a custom rom installed so there is a good chance that would have unlocked it.

Hi guys,
does it need to be unlocked to be able to root / rom change?
Cheers

They usually come factory unlocked. But no it doesn't. Need to be. I have a HTC phone locked to optus and I change ROM all the time

Good news!!!

Best way to sim unlock.

I would like to know the best way to SIM unlock the Xperia Z. Can i just flash an unbranded Stock Rom?
Thanks for your help!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
The only way is with an unlock code, either from your provider or purchased from a third party.
Flashing an unbranded rom will not affect the SIM lock status in any way.

Yes. If you put an at&t simcard into your phone as long as it's the SM-N900A you should be able to update to 4.4.2.

If you install 4.4.2 you won't be able to root or anything else for that matter. If you really want to update to 4.4.2 don't worry. It won't erase anything on your phone.

I don't know how others might think, but to me trying to use money to make others help you makes you look like an asshole...
Anyway, I think you lost your efs partition. Does your phone shows IMEI number? If it doesn't, check out the sticky thread and read more on the efs/ IMEI section. It might help you. Cheers!

A normal account would have done but yeah, you can do that. I'd recommend 3.07. Simple and easy.

When you reboot, try switching it completely off. Take out battery and turn it on.
You should also check with your carrier if the sim is 4G sim as many sim cards need to be changed for 4G.
