[Q] Network Lock (Orange GT-i9305) - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Having read numerous threads and forums on this, I am yet to find any resource which provides details on how to unlock the GT-i9305 model.
The GalaxSim app (from Google Play) states that the device is not supported and most other apps that I have tried are simply a free 'frontage' which leads to a pay £25 website.
Has anyone unlocked this particular model with GalaxSim (or other app)?
Is there a free alternative?
I'll pay a sit to do it, if I can't convince Orange to provide it free, but if there is a free option ... that would be the preference, of course.
Much thanks in advance for any help

This has been answered before a few times here. Roll back to 4.1.1 and use menu trick.

Rats!
Didn't see this ... how do I roll back the version?
And anyone got a link to the 4.1.1 software ... looking on the sites, only has the latest version (4.1.2).
... I will Google it, but figure that an answer may come here faster.

Sammobile should have it I'd say

[Q] How to unlock bootloader for SGH-T759?

Since there is no Samsung Exhibit 4G forum thread here, so. Does anyone know how to unlock the bootloader for the SGH-T759? If you do know a link, please post it. I tried to install CWM Recovery with ODIN, only resulting in a failure (I fixed it) because I need to unlock it. So, please help!
This info is in android general use the search function, if that fails remember, Google is your friend. Don't ask questions about another device here as they are not the same in any way other than being Samsung.

Might not get much help in a developer forum. Since you mentioned pirate bay. Piracy is against forum rules. Please support the developers. If your pirated apps aren't working try paying for it and then asking the developer for help.

I ALWAYS get mad when someone says that on Piratebay or other torrent sharing sites there is just pirated apps/programs in general. You can find everything on PirateBay, not just protected programs. Just for example, I ALWAYS use torrent for work, to share some projects with every people I work with.

Didn't say you were downloading pirated apks. If you need help finding an apk or if your google play is blocked you can always check the apps list on xda, amazon market, or a replacement market. Sorry i didn't mean to bash on pirate bay or anyone that uses torrents.

I know you weren't saying that. You don't have to be sorry, you said your opinion! You are right, alternative markets are the best (some times) I was just saying that a lot of people say that torrent is for piracy, but actually it's not. No offence from my part
Apks are normally little in size. You only would need 1 seeder. Chances are they are pirated apos

you dont need an app to install an app.....
basically just click on the .apk file, and hit install
not sure why it would be greyed out.
if the security setting is on it will tell you and take you there to uncheck it

I have checked unknown sources. I'm trying to download a song from tubidy.mobi for example. On my S3 I had after you selected the song it gave you an option to play or save using an installer. With this phone it doesn't. It gets to a point that after you "downloaded" the a file and it asks if you want to install, it doesn't allow you to. No error msg, no warning etc. It just doesn't do anything. Have you never had this problem on your LG? I bought the phone brand new from the UK, I live in South Africa, upgraded to kit kit 4.4.2.
Not familiar with tubidy, but let me get this straight:you are trying to install music files you download? Those don't require install
Could be extra Junkware it wants you to install
---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------
If file is downloaded to your phone, just open it with any music player
You should never have to install music files... Maybe try changing the file extension to .mp3 with a file explorer if it's named something different?

Just as greydiggy said, use the MJ5 restore method or just install a custom ROM.

[q] problems rooting again after verizon update

I will be completely honest I am a complete retard when understanding how rooting works... But I have done the process a dozen of times and I havent had any major problems but for this root I cant figure it out! So here is my problem....
Verizon sent me an update to the newest system version (98.72.189.XT894.Verizon.en.US) so naturally I downloaded and installed the update and it UNROOTED my phone! I no longer have safestrap and superuser access and such. So I have tried different techniques and different programs on rooting this bad boy such as Motofail and Razrs_edge and I still cant get it to work... Both programs have the usual errors of "Permission Denied" or "Unable to". So all and all.... I NEED HELP!
Here is what I do know like im 99% sure about
-I have all the drivers and their is no yellow triangle and I have motorola device manager.
-I have Unknown Sources checked and USB debugging checked.
-I also forced stopped smart actions cuz I read on a post that I was causing problems while rooting.
Here is what I do NOT know
-Which USB mode do I need to be on? Mass Storage? MTP? idk!
-Do it matter that I am on 4.1.2?
Again I want to thank you for your time and I really would like some help with this darn thing! I am kinda desperate right now..

Hi,
The old root method won't work after the OTA update.
You need to use this method:

Best options for rooting already on Kit Kat

Hey Guys,
I'm just looking for some direction on the best way to root my AT&T Note 3 that has already been updated to Kit Kat.
A lot of what I am reading is from people already rooted that are trying to update to Kit Kat but I have a unrooted Note 3 that is already running Kit Kat.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I would prefer rooting without tripping the Knox counter.
Thanks!

Nothing yet, check back later.
Go to development. Go to Knoxraid. Read.
there's no current root as of right now, even to get knoxraid, as the user above suggests, you have to have root in order to install safestrap to get knoxraid in the first place, to my understanding.
No. That's not necessarily true. You can use the restore method to go back to 4.3 then use safestrap to flash a 4.4 rom that has root. Like Knoxraid

What you say is true if you are on leak MLG kitkat. if on official/OTA kitkat (NC2) its impossible to revert to old MJ5 kernals. I've spent quite a few hours looking into this. If that has changed since i last investigated though, feel free to correct me
There is no reverting from the official NC2 kitkat.

Sorry to inform, however questions go in the "AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" not in the general section. The OP is in the right-of-way for posting a question in this section. There have been plenty of times when moderators have reminded posters to please post questions not in the general section, but in the Q&A section.
UPDATE: This is actually from the "General Section" as a sticky:
