Root access required



Voodoo is an App available at Google Play than can unlock your Galaxy S III is you have root access

We have been informed that you can SIM unlock your shiny new Galaxy S III using an App available at Google Play.

The only requirement is that you have to root your device.

Free, requires root, GT-I9300 only, beta version.

First version: 1.0 beta1 of Voodoo Galaxy S III SIM Unlock tool.

This application unlocks your phone baseband so it becomes able to use SIM cards from any carrier without restriction.

The application is only an implementation, hopefully efficient and convenient of the method established here on XDA-developers by txlibre:

Adapted from this original work from many contributors:

All credits to the people who defined the unlocking method, which is a much more tedious work than implementing it as an application. Please don't hesitate to thank them.

Unlock is immediate and doesn't require reboot, and the app doesn't depend on any external tool (like Busybox) except root.

Crucial data is backed-up before any operation, however automatic restoration is not yet available inside the app.

I will write it it many of you encounter issues.

So don't freak out, even in worst case the app should not be able to bring any permanent damage.

Note that if I'm careful when writing software this one is provided without any kind of warranty or support.

Redistribution of this APK is not allowed outside of Google Play store, neither is selling it.

Voodoo Galaxy S III SIM unlocker first version has been written in 1 day of work, and source code will be published under WTFPL tomorrow.

Known issues:

- It doesn't work on non-I9300 Galaxy S III or without root:
Obviously. But not an issue.
- Query SIM lock as seen from system button requires 2 press to access the secret menu expected.
- I can't find the app when searching on my phone.
You'd better get it while it lasts.
