Hello Members,
I bought samsung galaxy s2 from a friend, it was unlocked from any local shop, last week i updated my firmware 4.1.2 and it left my phone locked to three network again, so i decided get this unlock from three, they took 3 days to generate unlock code, which i tried more than 5 times (i think) but it didn't unlock the phone, now three saying you mistakenly sim locked this phone permanently, they refused to refund as well...
if someone has any idea what should i do, is there any way to reset the counter, by the way, i don't see any message about the number of tries..
Any help please
thanks

Maybe try re-flashing a stock firmware, then root and then try that app again?

Hi,
I have a Samsung Vibrant T959, with Froyo 2.2 updated using Kies mini.
its unlocked using SGS unlock pro so i do not have a unlock code with me, it was just one click unlock .
If I do the factory reset will it lock the phone again?
Nope.. once unlocked its pretty much unlocked for good.. i asked this same question a while ago...
Link to thread i asked in
Thanks a lot. Have u tried the same?
yep unlocked it about 3 months ago... i've flashed to stock a few time and different roms.. still unlocked =)
you can also just call up tmobile to get it unlocked for free. its quick and painless.
Hi
I lastly got a I9100 from a friend. I wanna use it but I can't because the sim is locked.
I've tried the guide by Odia but I think my phone uses the "new protection".
Is there any other way for unlocking the SIM?
Thanks!

Give this app a try.

It is based on odia's method only. Might work.
I've tried this already...
I tried unlocking either from editing the nv_data file or using the application but non have worked for me. Perhaps my phone uses the new protection.
I'm asking if someone has found a new way to unlock this already?

It didn't work.
Please someone help me unlock my phone
Hi, so firstly, make sure that your phone is rooted. There are loads of posts on how to do this.
Then, I downloaded Galaxy S unlock by helros and used that method. (available on the market)
I Stupidly used the Unlock SGS option instead of the SGSII unlock option within this app, but it still worked. (Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Galaxy S II respectively) I guess they had idiot proof mode built in.
That worked a treat and within 5 mins of following the instructions and a reboot later, I had my own sim in the phone
OP - please reply if the above method worked for you.
I also got a gt-i9100 on 2.3.5 and i couldn't find the unlock code using Samsung Galaxy S2 SIM unlock app.
I then tried the unlock app by helros but I only get a busybox error...
thanks.
PS: the phone is rooted with superoneclickroot app.
Well it didn't work for me.
It showed a very strange code with ???||0 .....
Please somebody?

So New Kernel == Unlock?

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.

I have tryed to unlock my I9300 using maually and using the voodoo app, I have noticed that when I type: *#7465625# the unlock status doesn't show up and therefore the unlock was unsuccessfull, Is this a hardware fault? Shall I return it to samsung? Anyone experienced the same problem?
I was on JJB 4.1.2 (Branded (theree))
Downgraded to (4.1.1) Branded
then 4.1.1 unbranded
Now I am on 4.0.4 (UK unbranded)
Thanks in advance for any help

So I can't check my unlock status because samsung has stoped/blocked this service in the S2 and S3? as I can't check the unlock status on my S2 either. But I can check the unlock status on my Galaxy Pocket
I have contact my vendor and have been toled that I would be charged £15.35 which is a lot for an unlock.
I have looked at the GalaxySim app which is for £2.50
So there is no method out there to enable me to extract the unlock code? I mean the code is somewhere in the device, because when an unlock code is typed in, the device checks if it is the correct one and it does that by comparing it with a code in one of the internal files. Please correct me if I am wrong

No idea all i said is i think Voodoo does not work now .
Try Googling is what i would do UK try the money saving expert forums .

I bought a phone that is locked for Vodafone UK. I hope that did not fool me, but the phone has vodafone icons and charger is uk. When I insert Slovak SIM, its ask for code.
I'm not sure if it was called for 5min. but there are scratches on phone, so I hope he call from it, but if not and I buy and enter the unlock code, will it lock permanently, or its not problem? I tried to buy the cheapest code from ebay, but "Sorry-Code is not found in the database on this service for your IMEI."
What is best and cheapes way to unlock it. Thank you for any help and sorry for my english :fingers-crossed:
The best way to unlock it is by code, using a service provider of this kind. I have used in the past unlockscope.com and I was very pleased with the results. I recieved the code in the same day and the unlocking proccess went smooth. The costs are ok as I paid 19$ to unlock my Galaxy S6 and normally the network provider would charge me somewhere around 80$.
Hope it helps you
thank you nicu03. I just got a message from eBay that the code not found, again from another seller . So I'm going try unlockscope, thank you for link!
edit: so I was unable use unlockscope, but I try unlockbase.com and after few hours its unlocked! ye
