  1. it works!!! after using Odin by rooting it then I used it and it was unlocked. I tested it out on other carrier sim cards and it accepted it. cool!!

  2. I recentlly bought my galaxy S3 gti9300 blocked to Telcel (Mexico) , I rooted without problems and install voodoo from play Google, but doesn’t work. After run voodoo I get Sim Unlocked message in voodoo app, but I still geting network locked message or unregistered network when I try to make a call. Just emergency call where accepted

    • Hi Carlos, did you been able to solve your problem finally? I’m having the same right now…. the “unlocked” message but still not work.

      Thanks!

      • Hi Mehdi,
        I solve the problem changing the ROM. Actually I’m using Criskelo ROM.
        But be carefull, because the last version aren’t compatible with voodoo.

  3. I unlocked my phone using this method with no problems.

    I then updated my phone with kies and its locked again. Why did this happen.??

    Will I have to repeat this process again and avoid using kies in future??

    Kind Regards

    David.

    • Voodoo Galaxy S III SIM Unlock no longer unlocks the phone with the new update, I have returned to previous firmware BLFB and rooted to get it unlocked succesfuly again.

      I will apply the new update using odin and see if it stays unlocked. Then I will know if its a kies issue, or if the new update re locks the phone.

      David.

      • Ok, I have updated to BLG6 using Odin and its the new firmware that is re locking my phone. It will not unlock again using Voodoo….

        Will have to go back to BLFB…

        OR pay to get it unlocked properly!!

        OR is there another way???

  14. Hi Jaycee,

    I have just rooted my galaxy s3 i9300, I want to unlock my phone however when I download the GalaxSim Unlock app, it says my device is not rooted?

    What can I do?
    Thanks,

  15. I like many others bought a brand new unlocked Galaxy S3. I couldnt get the Jelly bean update but i knew it was available and after much investigation i found out it was due to my CSC code. I changed the CSC code and KIES immediately gave me the update. The problems started after the update was complete, my phone was locked and was asking for a sim unlock code.

    I have no idea what network it was locked to as i bought it unlocked from an Amazon seller so couldnt contact the network or but an unlock code as they needed this information!

    I thought i had purchased a SIM free phone but i hadn’t, i had purchased an “unlocked” phone that re-locked itself after the firmware update. I was in a state of panic!

    After more reading on excellent sites such as this i decided on my course of action:

    Root the phone, easy if you follow the instructions and have basic computer knowledge.
    Run Voodoo Galaxy SIM unlock.

    All i can say is it worked for me, my phone now makes calls again!

  16. Hi all,i have a branded s3 from orange,i bought it from someone who had it unlocked,now i updated it by Kies to 4.1.1 and the phone locked,its asking me Network pin code ….i reflashed using odin and the same thing i rooted and instaled voodoo but it says : SIM lock : read error
    if anyone could help me please give me a tutorial on how to unlock it,i appreciate it !

  17. Hi,
