I have an unlocked MT3G that I use on AT&T and I want to root it. When I first got the phone I know that I had to use my roommates TM sim to activate the phone. Since the phone is unlocked, do I need to do that again or can I just enter the APN info for AT&T to activate it?

I recently Purchased a Rogers Samsung Galaxy LTE (SGH-1727r)
I want to root/unlock the phone. If I do this, Will I be able to use the phone on the Bell/Telus network?
It is my undrstanding that I would nee to purchase an unlock code from one of the various websites. Would I also need to get an active "pay-as-you-go" SIM card in order to unlock it? Or am I able to make due with the Bell/Telus SIM cards I have from my other phones?
If u root and unlock, yez, u can use this phone with telus and bell.
Purchase an unlock code online and once its sim unlocked, root it and install CWM. You don't necessarily need a custom rom for the rest but if u do I recommend TPC v3 or MHX-Superlite 3.0.
Flash the telus vk1 radio in cwm and you're good to go.
Thanks
Thanks for the quick reply. It can be a little overwhelming at first.
I can confirm this I have my i727r running on the virgin network right now which is run by Bell. Just need to get the unlock code or take it somewhere to get it unlocked.
Hi everyone. I received the unlock code from AT&T and after I insert my non AT&T sim card and boot the phone up, I don't get the network unlock prompt. I get "sim not provisioned mm #2" how do I get the unlock prompt to come back up? I was rooted and running CM 7, but flashed it back to a the non rooted HTC stock rom from HTC's website. Any help/ideas are appreciated!
Are you SIM unlocked or bootloader unlocked? How did you root?

I'm sorry, I don't understand the difference between SIM unlocked & bootloader unlocked, I just want it unlocked so it can be used on different carriers. AT&T has already given me the code to use.
When I rooted, I used aahk, but when I put the stock HTC rom back, I lost root access.
Are you still S-Off? Which carrier's SIM are you trying to use? Some carriers lock their SIM cards, so only SIM unlocking the phone doesn't work.

Yes, s-off and I tried a verizon and a tracphone SIM
also tried a red pocket SIM and t-mobile SIM. I get the "sim not provisioned MM #2" message. No prompt

Since you used the aahk and are still soff than you already have Sim unlock. Not all carriers and Sims play nice with unlocked phones. Sometimes a different Sim will do the trick.
Example when I had unlocked my iPhone way back in the day (original) it would not work using my sisters tmo Sim but it would on my brothers tmo sim

Sim not provisioned mm#2 usually means the Sim card hasn't been activated, if the phone was Sim locked you would be prompted for the unlock code. Sounds like you're ready to go

I cannot sell this set because this set is awesome :'( I want help please. I cant root my set cause i'm not handling any risk.

Is the phone unlocked, if not you may need to get it unlocked for the sim to work. The phone may also be a "Global ready" phone and not "Globally Unlocked" phone meaning that you can use it with a Verizon plan but thats it.

Well, its unlocked, The phone doesn't asks me for any unlock codes. I can RUN CDMA sims only but not GSM. When i insert a gsm sim it says 'This sim is from unknown osurce'. In about phone service state is:- 'Service is out of service'. I had cheked some one in this forum uploading a GSM PATCH for Verizon CDMA smartphones for Motorola, but i couldn't do it. My phone is now on Kitkat stock ROM and i cant even root it.

I don't know about the phone you are talking about, but may be your phone only supports CDMA Bands. It is an hardware problem and may not be corrected by any rooting methods.
Hit thanks if helped
