1st you need to root it ! go on "original android development" find the tutorial for rooting and do it
after you root you can go to android market and search for unlock sgs2 or just type "chainfire" and you gona see the application to unlock you phones for all networks
my android version is 2.3.5 will this still work?

Not sure how to unlock SGS2, it already has ICS, could anybody advise ? Thanks
Are we talking sim unlock? If so search market for sim unlock and use the chinfire or helroz ones.
I had no luck with chainfires but the helroz one worked perfectly.
Mine was locked to orange.

I believe device needs to be rooted first ? And yes - i need sim unlock
yes both those apps need root, but should defo do the sim unlock for you. worked for me

It worked ! chainfire's failed but helroz did the job
and of course in this case you lose your warranty, right?

I'd say most of things we talking in this forum would affect the warranty

I recently (08/08/11) got a locked UK Orange BVKG3, and wanted to know has there been any update on getting these phones unlocked?
It just seemed as soon as the first lot got these done everybody just stopped trying i'd really like to get some help on this and will be happy to help if i can.
p.s. im an absolute noob on phone tech, but have rooted the phone
If phone is rooted , after that it is very easy. Download sgs 2 app(dev is chainfire) from market. Follow the instruction, that's it. Works for me works for you.

Hi There,
I'm getting a little stuck with IHASHGPU. I tried all the hashes in my nv_data.bin but unfortunately I don't have a compatible GPU.
I've extracted the nv_data.bin and have attached the file.
I have the unlock code from my network provider but it doesn't work and I think I need the unfreeze code now. Would someone be able to extract the unfreeze and unlock codes or provide a clean nv_data.bin for me? Either one would be greatly appreciated. I'm just restriced due to compatability issues.

Thanks mate. That's where I got all my info from. But because I don't have 10 posts I can't post in that thread for help.
Ahhhh. Hmmmm. OK.
What I'll do is post in that thread for you, and link to this post. Hopefully someone will have a look & maybe give you some options ?
Edit to add - Here's the post I made in the sim unlock thread.

Since I can't post in that thread could anyone ask dertys_ to help me with my nv_data.bin, also would like to know what he does with it, since looks like has not much to do with Odia's method
Why dont you just use Chainfires free unlock app from the market.
https://market.android.com/details?...sImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5zZ3Myc2ltdW5sb2NrY29kZSJd
Some say that when you put in the code it says Code Incorrect but unlocks the phone anyway but Ive had the same message unlocking phones via IMEI unlock so wouldnt this be easier.Alot of people swear by it.

sadly for me the app didn't find a code for me, neither Helroz app or online services gsmliberty.net or mobilefreedom.net running out of options to unlock

I know I was talking about the other app by chainfire.
The helroz app said it unlocked, and when you checked the status it appear as unlock, but when I put another SIM it said: Network lock at start and didn't gave any signal

I didn't get any prompts when I used it. I hit step 1 so it did the backup, there was a confirmation there. Then pressed step 2 and the screen went blank for a few seconds, the phone rebooted and all of a sudden it was unlocked.

? ok do you want to know how to unlock sgh-i777. if yes then you must be rooted and just download apk called galaxysim unlock by spocky from play store it cost $2.50 and it works even if your on a custom rom hope that helps if thats you question
Unlock by Hellroz can only be accomplished on Gingerbread.
Downgrade, unlock, upgrade back.
Or use a paid app above.
close)
all right!

That thread shows how to install a new kernel on the device, which is great. But does that mean it is also unlocked (besides rooted)?
Thanks

Nope, there used to be an app to unlock it, downloaded it from google play store, but I think you can only find it here at xda developers now.
I think you need to Odin the i777 firmware to it before you can use the app to unlock.
