Placed foreign SIM in my Samsung, followed the steps, rebooted. My AT&T phone no longer says "invalid SIM" now but still will not recognize the new service cause I am unable to make calls or connect to the net. Please help.

I HAVE A S3 WITH TMOBILE AND IT WAS REPORTED LOST THEN I FOUND THE PHONE CALLED TMOBILE AND THEY TOLD ME PHONE WAS BLOCKED AND PH COULD NOT BE USED.... IF BUY A Straight Talk SIM CARD PUT IT ON S3 WILL IT WORK????
I went thru the steps; however, about the last step, instead of seeing this "[4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ", I get " [4] RAT_FREE_SUPPORITING ON ". Any suggestions?
TheWalL said: For those who have an AT&T Note II that shipped with 4.1.2, you need to downgrade to 4.1.1 and then try this unlock. Once its unlocked, you can upgrade back to 4.1.2 without relocking it. The xda forum thread has discussion on this.
I had this experience first hand. The first Note II was shipped with 4.1.1 and I was able to unlock without any problems with the procedure outlined in OP. The second Note II was shipped with 4.1.2 and it was missing the step 6 menu. I flashed 4.1.1 via Kies and unlocked it. And then upgraded to 4.1.2 and it was still unlocked.
Hi TheWalL, how did you flash it with Kies? (I'm unable to access KIES from the provided url, still trying to get this resolved) where did you get the ROM file for 4.1.1?

Depends on when it was reported LOST to T-Mobile, if it was after October 2012 the phone is not usable on TMO or AT&T
I have question. Recently I did downgrade to 4.1.1 OS and removed simlock - thanks lillazyfats81 Phone is att version and I'm using tmobile. If I do upgrade to v. 4.1.2 my phone will be still unlocked or locked back to att?
it worked on my at&t s3 just fine i had to buy a 40 sim card off eBay though. Dont waste your money buying a simcard from Straight Talk i bought one and cut it down to size since they dont sell micro sims no more thanks to att & tmobile throwing a sissy fit cause ST letting u use there phones on ST. So i vut mine down to size the phone would not even detect the sim i tried in to diff phones so eather there not compatable or i got a bad sim card.
and stephshuler when ur in the APN settings on your phone use the menu to setup a new APN then use the details on the ST page this is what i had to do

Works on my Galaxy3S just fine. Just came back from Tokyo, Japan and used a local microSIM card inside the phone for navigation the whole week. Thanks.
Hi, Thank you all for sharing the information. For two days in a row I'm trying to unlock my sim on a new AT i747 I got from the US with no luck. I called ATT support and they gave me the unlock code but it didn't work. I was able to unlock the phone using the info you all shared. The bottom line - you must be on a stock 4.1.1 ROM in order to use the *#197328640# method. Any other ROM will not let you unlock the sim. I started with a 4.1.1 deadly venom ROM, tried 4.2.2 SlimBean than CM 10.1 and than stock 4.0.4. Only after reading other posts regarding the need for 4.1.1 I finally updated to 4.1.1 that had all the menu option including the [4] NW UNLOCK NV DATA INTIALIZES.
