[Q] Changing providers and unlocking phone

I might need to change service providers soon because Koodo is just sucking right now. As such, my phone needs to be unlocked. I would be paying Koodo for the service so that I don't have to run the risk of bricking my S5830D (can you brick your phone attempting to unlock it?). However, my little Ace is running CM9.1 RC4.1 by Wayland_ACE.
I don't know the SIM unlocking procedure and I was wondering if I would need to flash back Koodo's Stock ROM (where can I get that by the way?) and unroot it to have it unlocked.
I also heard of unlock codes around these forums and was wondering what they were, does Koodo just give me a code that I enter somewhere to SIM unlock? Please give me any information that you can on this matter.
Koodo charges $50 to unlock the SIM. Is there a safe and simpler less expensive method to unlock the SIM?
Thanks in advance.

Haha ok. I borrowed the gf's sim when i did mine. It feels good to have the freedom to use any network, especially when you own the phone. :sly:

what does "sim not working" mean? no contacts, no possibility to make a call, ...?
i had the problem with contacts with custom ROMs, so i decided to sync my contacts with my google account.
Since then no problems

Problem with simcard means that i cant make calls and the phone says: Sim card blocked, emergency calls only

Looks like no one knows my Phone is special again..:banghead:

[Q] Need some help with the S3 mini Telus (Canada) Version SM-G730w8

So first off, I have been able to put different firmware onto this phone. Up until i did the OTA 4.4(?) not sure exactly but the latest. I didnt realize at the time of this and i tried to put an older version back(4.2.2) and now my phone cannot connect to my computer network and also doesnt show that there is any phone networks connection. Did i brick it? Is there a fix? Remember that my s3 mini is NOT a GT-whatever.

Which file you put in youre s3mini, can you boot in the recovery mode? Sure you had the g730w8?

Well i sort have figured it out, but what i mainly wanted was to root, unlock and then update, but instead i rooted, updated(by accident), downgraded, got a new line on the odin mode on the cell. "bootloader rp swrev:1". and then nothing worked. like no cell reception and wifi wouldn't allow me to turn it on. So from there i got the new firmware from a reputable place, and reinstalled it. Now everything works again, but not sure if i can still root and unlock from this point.
Edit: Yes it is the SM-G730w8, also cant really find a direct answer for "bootloader rp swrev:1" any help with that would be great.

Just toot with towelroot check general section or Google worked perfectly on my g730w8

Thank you. I now have a rooted S3 Mini on Kitkat Original rom. Only one question left, how do you get it unlocked from this point, as i want to use it with a different carrier than original. I has been a while since ive done anything on these newer models of Android and there is just way too many models for this cell. Ive done it before were you get the bml5.img but i cant seem to get it on here. I havent tried any other way yet, and everything looks legit up to this point. Thanks again for the help.

I used canadagsm to unlock my s3 mini it's taked 2 hrs to send me the unlock code on my e-mail adress

Can't Register on 3G Networks (Only 2G works)

Just got a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (GT - I9305).
And installed MIUI ROM , But my phone can't register on 3G networks, only 2G Network works.
First I thought, it's rom's problem but I think it's not , because I have installed Xposed Framework and tried switching networks with intelli3G, but no luck yet.
Could it be for CSC ?
The mobile was originally bought from UK and I am in Bangladesh right now.
Hoping to get a effective solution .
And Also , I forgot to take backup of my existing rom, can you suggest a original firmware?
Thanks.
Regards,
Shahriar

Hi ,
Can you check that your IMEI exists or not ?
My IMEI was gone , so I have sent the mobile for servicing and rewritten the IMEI, but it seemed that my IMEI was BLACKLISTED!
So , I told him to regenerate my IMEI and it's working fine at this moment .
and he took BDT 400 TK as service charge
If you think you can fix IMEI by yourself , good luck with that , but I wouldn't recommend that as I failed .
So , you can fix yours from a mobile servicing point
Good Luck .
