Do Not Use The Voodoo Unlock APP At All. The APP is not compatible with Jelly Bean.

I have used the Voodoo Unlock APP and it said it had unlocked my handset.
After flashing SuperNexus, CM9 and finally HyperGalaxy -- My phone is still locked and requests an unlock code to be inserted.
I downloaded the app again and it says:
SIM Lock: read error
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.

Hello Every One. Im new at XDA and own S3. I was looking to have my S3 unlocked and landed here via google. read the post but still unsure about how to install this unlock app. i have already rooted my JB 4.1.1 and installed busybox. Downloaded the file at first page of this post.
1. Can some one please guide me about how to install these files. its not .apk so should i install them via CWM boot.
2. how can i preserve my efs files.
a step by step guide will be appriciated.
Thanks

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.

Okay so I am brand new to the Android OS. I have been an iPhone user for about 5 years and jailbreaking was such a simple task and I fully understood how that worked. I'm glad I made the switch to android because it does everything a jailbroken iPhone does. I just found out about this rooting stuff. How does it work and how can I do it with Note 3 on AT&T SM-N900A? I downloaded some new OTA update but I don't know what it means.

Kingo Root is the only current method to root MJ5, its really simple and fast if you chose to do so. Its just a program on you pC that you run and it will give you root and reboot your phone and your done.

Are you kidding? Is it really that easy? I've been reading about all this Root De La Vega thing. Your way seems to be a lot easier. Why doesn't everyone use this Kingo Root program?

RdlV is for versions prior to your MJ5. Don't even think about using it!
Kingo Root works well but is suspected to be malware (search for details) and all links to it have been banned from xda until kingo devs prove it is safe. That doesn't seem to be happening very quickly.

Just so you know, you can take the ota and keep root as long as you follow the proper steps, I uploaded to mj5 and kept root, no issues.

Thanks.. i found the ATT update thread in here and followed the steps .. i was rooted with mi9 and upgraded to SU pro and then did the survival mode with disabling SU and then did the update. it updated to MJ5 and then i turned off survival mode and re-enabeled SU and i am still rooted and my apps so far are working fine...
so,, for the OP.. just back out of this and go into the ATT update thread and folllow the instructions there (i basically posted it above, but a cleaner "how to" is in there)

You will brick your device if you use RDLV.
As far as I know, Kingo will work. However, due to it sending our IMEI number to China, I don't wanna do it yet.

They said the newest Kingo update removed those calls back home and that they won't be doing that anymore. I don't know anything about them sending IMEI info to China, but supposedly the connections to their servers in China was to download the updates as the program rooted the phone.
I was skeptical about kingo root but after doing some research I went ahead and did it and everything seems to be fine. Yes, it takes your imei but no one really knows what they do with it if anything. All rooting is, is finding exploits and utilizing them to gain root access. In all actuality, you never truly know the intentions of any new developers that come on the scene.

MI9 to MJ5 while rooted
Hi Zug
I tried the method with survival mode and disabling superuser and the official mode in Wanam to try to go from MI9 to MJ5 ......everything is fine until it reboots but always fails at 27% point of installation. ... trotted it 7 or so times. .... Same result. After the fail it reboots and I get the message "update interrupted".

I remember reading about users having the same issue with the instalation stalling at the same percentage every time. It has something to do with you changing something (can be a number of things) in the system folder. Think about it, did you change the boot animation? There is a thread talking about it, I'll see if I can't find it for ya.

Thanks Dustin!
I finally solved 2 problems (the installation problem and the sudden failure of Kies3 to see my phone) by going to recovery, doing a wipe data and cache and factory reset. I then re-rooted using the De La Vega method, disabled root and checked "survival mode in SuperSU Pro and then accepted the update to MJ5. This time it made it past the 27% installation point and completed. The I re-enabled root in SuperSU Pro launched titanium backup and batch restored apps and all is well. So I am finally rooted and on MJ5 without having to use Kingo. Thanks for your help.
Hey guys! I really need help i recently rooted my galaxy Note2 GT-N7100 (4.3)and i tried to use the Game Killer Application which is used to edit the values in game. but the problem is even though my phone is rooted it still asks for root privileges and closes on its own and starts again and then disappears on its own again. And regarding GameHacker when i try to change values i see (Modification Failed) ..any help? would be much appreciated. Game Killer and Game Hacker are two of the key reasons why i rooted my device
Anyone can help with the 2 Apps i'll reward him/her with a payment through Paypal
you can send your Paypal private so i can reward

[I'm not sure if it is a paid app (I don't think so though) if it is mods please delete]
pdjust in case) you should be rooted in order to use this or other gamekillers

Hi guys,
I've just set up my exchange mail on my new Note 3 and it's great, except it needs a PIN lock so every time I go to use my phone I have to put the PIN in which gets annoying.
Just wondering if there's a way to have the exchange mail without the PIN lock?
I downloaded a hacked mail app for my SGS3 when I had it which worked perfectly, but I'd like to avoid putting a custom OS on my Note 3 just to get the hacked mail app, if possible.
Any suggestions would be great
Yes, there's an Xposed framework add in called "Exchange Security Bypass".
Works great.
Thanks mate, that looks like a good solution.
Can I install Xposed on stock ROM, without having to flash or anything though? I want to keep my phone stock.. I can't really figure out the answer to this question from the FAQ and General Info pages..
Cheers

Hi Rosli,
Unfortunately it looks as though CF AUto Root is having some issues with 4.3 SM-N9005 so doesn't look like I can root it. I tried to update my phone and it says there are no updates available - I don't think 4.4 is offered to Australia.
Is there another way to root the phone?

I had a rooted S3 SGH-I747 with Android 4.1.2. I sold it, and now I have a S4 SGH-i337 with Android 4.3.
I just want to root the phone, I am not interested in putting a custom ROM on it -- though maybe in the future.
Should I leave it at 4.3, or is it recommended to put a version of KitKat on it and then proceed to root it?
I did a quick software update check from the phone, but it said there were no updates. Does that mean I'm stuck at 4.3?

I'd update to the nb1 rootable tar file via odin. Then use towelroot to root. The nb1 tar file can be found in the general forum

So the S4 at 4.3 is not rootable, unless I use the nb1 rootable tar file to make it rootable, is that correct assumption?
Apparently I need to read more on the subject. I was hoping it would be as easy as it was on my S3. I guess the difference is that the S3 was rootable, while the S4 requires additional work to make it rootable. Of course correct me if i'm wrong, as I'm probably still not getting it.

Quick question, is the SIM card required during any of the flashing/rooting process? I didn't want to transfer my SIM from my working phone until I had my new replacement flashed and ready to go.

Can I reflash the same firmware over itself? I flashed my phone using the i337 nb1 rootable tar file you linked me to.
I ran into a problem, long story, it's in another thread I started.
Anyhow, everything was working and had it successfully rooted and my apps reinstalled. Now I'm locked out thanks to a glitch in a app called Unlock with WiFi. I have entered the wrong password 35 times and it still will not ask me if I want to reset/wipe the phone. Isn't it suppose to ask you after so many attempts?
The problem is I set a one letter password in the app, I mean it is convenient and the app allowed me too. Also it worked fine on my S3.
I did the same for the S4, but apparently with this firmware version, the lock screen doesn't like one letter passwords. If I type less than four characters and press enter, it erases what I typed. So it makes it impossible to enter my one letter password. If I type four characters or more, followed by return, I get Wrong Password.
At this point I give up, I just want to start over. I sent an email to the developer yesterday morning, but he has not responded.
Thanks again
Mike
