I have the SGH-I317. It's still on the stock 4.1.1

Hmmm! It should have worked the same way on the i317m...

Got to admit though that unlocking is not an obvious process and a little bit of voodoo, as you have to wait a certain amount of time and it doesn't necessarily work the first time you try.

But knowing it can be unlocked without a foreign sim is great news :good:

Yes I tried it without rooting my phone and it seems to be working just fine. I tried to put an local sim card and it worked.

Yes, the lock is below OS level. By that I mean that once unlocked you can't lock it anymore.

Furthermore it should not affect the cell phone's warranty, the ability to unlock was most likely removed in later ROMs at telco's request.
