[Q] Check simlock on 4.0.4 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
I've recently tried to check my phone's simlock status via *#SIMLOCK# (*#7465625#) but entering the code does nothing. I know I did a check some time ago on an older rom and that worked, so I'm thinking this must be a chenge with the new 4.0 roms. I'm currently running stock XWLPT with SpeedMod K3-31.
My question is this: has Samsung changed this code (and if so does anybody know the new one) or is this a problem with my phone/rom/etc.?
Thanks a lot!

Maybe cause of custom kernel?
EDIT: hmm on LPU stock doesn't work neither

[Q] Baseband help please

Hi guys, I decided to try the 2.1 modaco custom rom. I am currently on baseband: GAUSB1A135100-EU Build 15609.
I tried the Rom but couldnt get network to come up and FC's all over the place. Then realised I had not changed the baseband
to the recomended one.
I have now sucessfully installed rom 8105 to get the correct baseband but I still have no network and the baseband shows as Unknown
(Im guessing it hasnt changed). Have I missed something?
Any help would be great, And yes I have searched all night for the clues I need but all I could find were guides to change back the other way.
Thanks a million in advance!

Can I install Litening Rom v2.2 over my stock XWKE7
Good day all, I have a real nooby question regarding installing the Latest Lite'ning Rom V2.2 XXKG1 on my unrooted, brand new South African Vodacom/ Vodafone branded stock XWKE7 (out of box firmware).
Do I need to flash anything prior to flashing Litening Rom V2.2?
Or do I have install From the frst version and work my way upto 2.2?
I also can't seem to find Stock African Galaxy S II firmware anywhere - Would any XWKE7 firmware do?
I can find lots of info it just doesn't seem to tie up and all the various kernels and version numbers are making my head swim. Thank you in advance for any help

Yes - you have to start by flashing 2.0 - then you need to install the 2.1 update and then the 2.2 update.
Follow this to flash the 2.0 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
Then follow this to upgrade 2.1 and 2.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15643453&postcount=5041
Thank you very much for the fast and prompt response. I'm going to do as described right away. Thank you again.

xxlp2 Problem... Help !

hi there,
I have just purchased a Samsung Galaxy s2 UK unlocked from a friend, the kernel says 3.0.15-i9100xxlp2-cl57619 [email protected] #3 which i believe is a beta unstable version of ICS.
This version is very buggy i cant even add images to contacts, i have tryed flashing other kernels which just lock up the phone, plus i cannot upgrade this via kies "kies your device does not support software upgrading via kies"...
my question is what kernel do i need to flash onto this with either a stable ICS version or a stock gingerbread so i can update via kies...
Regards

[SimLock][NeedHelp] Need a stock Kernel[Morocco] (any version) .. Please !

Hi everyone ! I recently flashed a stock Jelly Bean kernel to my i9100G, but turned out it wasn't made for my country (I'm moroccan).. so it asks me to enter a code to unlock the sim. And since there is no i9100g - stock JB (or ICS) Kernel for Morocco, I tried to SIM unlock my phone following instructions i found on XDA-Developpers (by editing nv_data.bin), but that didn't work for me either. And when I finally gave up trying to unlock my phone with the JB Kernel, I decided to downgrade it to the old 2.3.6 Kernel, since it's the only official one i found for Morocco, but then again, I couldn't download it form XDA because the links were dead.
Long story short: here I am stuck with a sim locked I9100G running a JB Kernel.
My request : Could someone please upload a JB/ICS/2.3.6 Stock Kernel [Morocco] (or sim unlocked) for me. I would be very grateful ...
