I have an SGIII with I747UCUEMJB listed as my baseband version and I wanted to know if this is considered a locked bootloader. I now have a note3 that I (unfortunately) took the OTA. I'm using my old SGIII as a "mess around with". Just curious and thank you in advance for answering.

Why you need that info?

If you wanna root it, use towelroot (really user friendly). From there, you can mess around with it as much as you want.

I keep reading and hearing about not taking the OTA. Which I did on the note 3; limiting me on what I can/can not do with ROMS. Trying to avoid that on the S3 I have. I've rooted with towelroot on the Note3. Trying to be "open" as much as possible with the S3. I don't want to have to take an OTA and have the bootloader locked. If I already am with the baseband I have then this is all a moot point.

MJB is 4.3, which has Knox (I'm assuming that's the lock you're talking about, it's more of a security thing though).

Having that doesn't "lock" you from anything really though. You can still root using Towelroot, flash a custom recovery with Flashify or GooManager and flash w/e ROM you feel like using. Note though that you can't downgrade bootloaders from 4.3.

Ok great. Good to know.

Also as far as I can tell all the s3 bootloaders are "open" so they will take custom kernels and such

Awesome. Good to know. Trying to get my arms around all of this and trying to learn as much as possible. Tons of stuff out here and lots information.
