Hi Guys, I know this isn't the right location for this thread, haven't got high enough post count.
I have a Voda Au branded sgs2 with kernal version DUKF2. Tried to unlock with Odia's method, Chainfire app, even spent a few (wasted) bucks on the 123unlock app.
And as expected Voda is dragging their feet to supply a sim unlock code.
Also, my nv_data.bin looks different from some of the others posted in Odia's thread...yes i rooted the phone and got it from /efs/nv_data.bin, copied to sdcrad ..etc.
Is it possible sammy have caught on and changed something?
Any help appreciated. Cheers.
Weird that voda simlocked, my Optus one arrived completely open. I'm sure you've confirmed it's locked before spending any time on this but what does the following code give you for the 4 lock values?:
*#7465625#
Help!
Hey I also have a vodafone sg2... can you help me root it? I understand the procoss but unsure on the firmware to use... any help? Mine is KF2 however its a model I9100T... does it matter can someone give me some help?
I think that Voda are just mean pricks. The Network lock is on and the other 3 (sub, SP, CP) are off.
Unrealtb, I used the latest CF_Root - V4.0 firmware, rooted it, the restored the original DUKF2.

also, do you know the password for this file?
Cheers mate!
that's the one i used.
The password for the stock kernal is [email protected]
Cool just rooted my phone!! thanks mate, much appreciated
No worries.
I think I've worked out my problem...
New Hardware Version - MP 1.300
New Radio Version - SP6260_U1_01.1121_DB110525
New Unlock Method
Now just need to wait for a solution.
I just rooted mine now and lashed Villain Rom. Running the SGS2simunlock app now see what it returns. Will let you know results, mine is also from Voda
Hrm... I wonder if it's not working because you possibly have the GT-I9100T and most of the unlocking work was done on the I9100? I remember reading Intra was quite shocked at how much larger the stock firmware for voda was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14838150&postcount=6. Still not entirely sure of what the difference is.
So it seems no unlock code found! i believe Voda's was bigger because they had like 7-8 extra apps installed, plus Voda's came with Navigon preinstalled
I believe Odia is working on a solution.

We should have a better idea once Telstra release theirs.
Weird thing though, *#2222# shows HW version 1.2, but looking at the .bin file it shows 1.3
Hey sorry for the newb question, what are you trying to are you trying to use the phone ok n other networks? unlock?
Have you tried http://vodafone.com.au/unlock
Thought it's free to unlock vodafone?
No I do not have this handset but thinking about it and going to vodafone, but if it's locked and there's no solution yet, I'll just wait awhile
If people want this done faster, I am currently assisting Odia in getting the new hax.
Please read this post and send me your files.

hi all. i will buy tomorrow an hd2 which is locked on vodafone Romania. can you tell me if there is a sim unlock for free? if it's not, which website or "way" is safer to use it for unlocking? also, if you know a cheaper one i don't mind . I need to be unlocked fast (let's say in 1h after i pay, maximum). Thank you very much.
P.S. i've tried to search on hd2 thread but didn't find nothing about this.
that should be possible
search how to preform a HSPL install and how to update ROM
There is no free sim unlock solution , hspl install does not unlock sim .
Contact korter_gsm on ebay
He sent me a code in less than 2 minutes.
ok. i will contact him.
i saw now his posts, but a little problem that i have is that I don't need to unlock T-mobile version, but European version (vodafone romania). do you know any other place?
P.S. does anybody know something about this website?
or about this website?
HI there. Its korter_GSM from Ebay.
Regarding Vodafone Romania HD2 want to tell you. I have all HD2 codes including newest ones with IMEI 038 and 039 in the middle. But as you may already read somewhere, there are some operators that relocked the phones after receiving them from factory. So as we are providing only Factory codes, for some operators it may be wrong. Tmobile USA and many other operators dont have this issue and code for them are 100% correct. For Vodafone Romania i never checked.
for example. For A1 Austria Factory codes are wrong!
If any other question, contact me at Email [email protected]
or MSN [email protected]
i've made it in Romania, with 25 euro. thx all!
Hey guys just got my s2 today.
its locked on 3G network uk
and i would like to unbrand it to the sim free unlocked version.
Which is the right firmware for me to use?
XWKE2
XEUKD1
Thank you
You'll need to get the unlock code from 3G or buy one online.
after you've unlocked it, you need to flash custom rom, ODIN should be able to do it.

Debrand Guide here but the rebrand is for O2 but same steps if you have original saved 3 firmware .

Hi try with another network sim card. I bought from 3 last week on a 24 months contract and tested with O2 sim and it works. My handset is not locked to 3. Yours may be the same. Please check. (may be 3 is not locking SGS II in the first few batches, I only guess)
Also, I flashed latest official ROM with Odin and it works. Also I rooted my phone.
Ok so what firmware is the correct sim free uk version?
Correct as in probable original KDD dependant upon build date Kies will show latest version for phones brand as of today .
Upgrade KE1 followed by KE 2 which has just been pulled waiting for KE3 .
Unbrand as post says to KDD then you can upgrade using same method when KE3 is released .

Hi all may i beg a bit of advice regarding my locked SGS2
I bought a SGS2 off ebay that was ment to be O2 locked. I am on O2 currently and coming off a modded HTC HD2. Anyway I have rooted the galaxy s2 with lite'ning mod v1.2 which is all good.
The problem is that the phone is stuck in the EDGE network for I assume o2. It was like this before on the stock ROM. I have played with all the settings, turning data on etc but am unable to get a 3g connection where my old HD2 got one with ease.
When connecting to keis 2 the firmware version comes up as PDA:KE7HONE:KDJ/CSC:KD1 (CPW)
Does this mean the phone is locked to the carphone warehouse and not O2?
When i run chainfire's sim unlock app it is v quick and gives a code of multiple 00000s then nothing. I am stuck on EDGE until I can sort this. I am nervous about trying the code again regarding the warnings! Any help very much appreciated

No it means its using the CPW CSC which has O2 network in it .
You can always try the O2 settings entered manually .

aargh I'm a fool! Thanks for your reply JJEgan but i've fixed it with the obvious step i forgot to do - factory reset! allowed O2 settings to be recognised.
All good now.

Hello,
I'm hoping someone might know the answer as this is the first i've encountered such an issue.
Bought Galaxy S2 from Canada BELL carrier. got the phone unlocked previously. been flashing different ROM and update and is using XWLPM 4.0.4 ICS.
everything was working fine till about yesterday where a "Network Lock Control Key" popped up preventing me from accessing my SIM card. I do not believe my SIM is locked as i tested the SIM to another phone and it works fine without any security password.
somehow my phone is not locked again and i tried all the different unlocked method in the Playstore and nothing worked. it almost as seems the phone re-locked itself somehow.
my question is, is there a way to find out what network the phone is locked to so if i decide to purchase a unlock code, i know that it will work properly?
Appreciate any feedback or suggestions, as i need my phone desperate.!!! :crying:
Version 4.0.4
using Stock XWLPM Kernel (rooted)
Build XWLPM
Baseband using LD3 baseband = UGLD3 <-- Bell Carrier Modem Baseband.
Thanks
Why create another thread ? You've got a related open thread a couple of posts down you could have continued to use (changed the OP & title).
my bad ,total noob move.. i felt that it was a different question so i created another post. i can delete but not sure how!! any direction would be appreciated.
Use older thread. Locked
I have seen a number of questions that are simular to this, but I have not been abe to find one that is like mine, therefore I am posting this.
I have a Galaxy S3 International version that was bought from Digicel Jamaica. It is completely paid for, I called Digicel to ask the for a unlock code. they informed me that they do not do that and I would have to go and get it professionally unlocked. the reason I want it unlocked is that I not longer live in Jamaica, but now live in the US and would like to use the phone for the next couple of months until I can get a phone on contract.
I have tried everything I have seen on this site, including getting a unlock key. nothing works.
I upgraded the phone 4.3 sometime ago and have also rooted it in the pass.
Whenever I try the *#197328640# , after [6] Network Lock I get no menu options see .
PLEASE HELP ME :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
I have also tried using RegionLock Away and Galaxsim Unlock, both tell me my phone is unlocked, but I still can't use another sim in the phone.
PS. I am using a T-Mobile Sim from straight talk
You can't region unlock on 4.3 at all, sim lock is possible but only if you buy a valid code -there is no other way and your posts are identical to hundreds of others.

I have a valid code, but the SIM unlock doesn't work with the code. I have tried everything I have seen online, downgraded to 4.1.1, replaced the stock 4.1.2 that came with the phone.... nothing works
