Pay for 3 to unlock or search the unlock posts .

Use Voodoo SIM Unlock. It won't work on Jelly Bean though.

You are not making much sense, if you are asking if changing the ROM will block/unblock the IMEI number then no, it will not. IMEI number blocking is done at the mobile network level, not on the phone.

Stop spamming to get your post count up, especially with useless/confusing advice -_-

You would be better off looking at the GalaxSIM unlock app, as it does a better job than the Voodoo app.
XDA link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846451
To support the developer get his app from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.galaxsimunlock&hl=en

There are two apps for unlocking. Both require root, so you have to root or/and flash custom rom.
I recommend flasing stable ARHD with perseus kernel and your favorite theme (I used grey and black then AOSP theme).

you'd get a better answer if you asked I the right forum

Is there any way to sim unlock the X8 with an unlocked bootloader?
you have no network and not recognized sim, yes?
i had this problem too, when unlocked bootloader. yes there is a way to unlock sim. Unlock bootloader once again and it should fix. I tried this and this worked. Try this.

i also have unlocked it with omnius.
when u will do this, also unlock bootloader with it.
after that you alway need the omnius client to flash custom kernel, flashtool will never work again.
You only need to buy a "single android unlock licence"
Or phone your network provider and ask them to unlock it, and you can still use flashtool to do stuff
Sent from my E15i using XDA
If you can unlock your bootloader just do it and then flash one of the roms we have available in our community.
If by any chance a message about "insert sim lock code" appears on boot just ignore it and then disable it on the network settings of your X8.
Voilá, "unlocked" at no cost.

If this is out of the equation for the time being is the only option to pay for an unlock code online? If so what are the recommended sites, as I have been ripped off before.

It is very likely you could pay your operator to unlock it. About sites, I never used one so I won't recommend anything.
If you aren't in LG8 or LG6 firmwares you can still use Voodoo Unlock app from supercurio website: project-voodoo.org
I'm on xLite 1.4.0 XXLH1. I got my phone from Phones4U (UK) and I'm on Orange (UK) when I tried to sim unlock it gives me an error code when I try use x#XXXX# commands. Now when I swap it for my simcard with T-Mobile (UK) I can make calls etc but in my STATUS in ABOUT PHONE it doesn't display my phone number, it just displays 00000000000 and on the Orange it does display the number.
So really it is unlocked but not fully unlocked? I know you can't really get half and half but it seems like it in this case. I haven't tried the manual way of unlocking but I will at one point, just want advice.
---------
Edit: Just noticed that my firmware is higher than most. Will degrade and try app again but will still check back and follow advice from you all!
the soft Voodoo Galaxy S III SIM Unlock is here link free ...............

Also, the default network operator apps still install - the Hutchinson 3G APP AND BBC iPlayer etc..
Can anyone help me unlock the phone permanently? Btw, why do none of the MMI codes do not for example, *#06# or *#1234# on custom roms?

Hi
Before somebody has a go at you!
If you search the forum you will see the voodoo app doesn't work on later firmwares.
If you go to the themes and apps section of this forum on the first pages you will see a thread for a unlock app that works on all firmwares.

You failed to read the faqs and guides .
You must pay the vendor to unlock your 4.3
Just follow the old tutorial foe manually unlocking with a hex editor, then instead of getting the md5 from the log, do (cat nv_data.bin; echo -n Samsung_Android_RIL) | md5sum
Or unlock with Voodoo, then fix up the md5 with this command.

All bow to the thread ressurector! )
I upgraded to a S5 and want to give my girlfriend my old S3. Problem is it's locked into Vodafone, and she already cut her sim and cannot use her old phone(will get an adapter if I can't solve it today). I would like to unlock the i9300 today, and free if possible. I've searched all over but cannot find even a manual hack like .NetRolller 3D said above. I did find a ton of "100% successful" apps that hide their links behind surveys and crap like that, and I'm not falling into it.
So... how do I unlock her phone at home?
P.S. It currently has RessurectionRemix 6.0 on it, but I can downgrade to stock 4.x.x if needed.
Thanks in advance!
Please re upload the Unlock App
Link is dead. Please re upload the Unlock App for i9300.

Got stuck on SIM LOCK with the Leaked Samsung 4.1.2 XXLSJ Firmware? SOLVED

Hello there, if you are a total noob just like me, or you are simply looking for this and just flashed the recently leaked Samsung 4.1.2 XXLSJ Firmware and got stuck with that SIM UNLOCK code, the solution is just at hand and it is totally safe and free.
All you need is a WiFi connection and have a visit over the Play Store
Look for "Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock", which is a free app and download it
The job gets done just by taping over "SIM unlock code", it may take a few moments and you are done with the number.
Copy the number elsewhere and reboot your phone, once your asked about the number just type it and you are ready to go.
Remember you can only use this code once (per phone cycle) so if you miss typed it you are going to need to reboot again.
Enjoy your phone and allow me to give you an extra tip: NEVER FORMAT your Sd Card with this new firmware as some have reported that it resulted on BRICKING your lovely SGS2.

One could also restore their efs from a backup.
