Hi guys, I have the chance to buy new sgs2 but it is locked to the network that I am not using,so how hard is it to unlock the phone for someone who never rooted,ported or anything like that? Also I will give my sgs1 to my brother,so I have to unlock it too because we are not on the same network... also now on my sgs1 I am on 2.2.1 but it came with 2.1 ,And I can't upgrade it to 2.3.5 thru kies . So ,am I going to get the update when I unlock it from the network? Thanks

I'm pretty sure theres a free app on the market that will give you your unlock code if your phone is rooted. Not too sure about the galaxy s 2 but I think chainfire came up with some method for an unlock. Your probably best asking over the the sgs2 forum for an unlock.

I am a T-Mobile customer and I am using a Samsung Vibrant.
Before I contact T-Mobile customer service for an unlock code for the Vibrant I wanted to verify some stuff.
The Vibrant was on stock 2.1 then it was updated to stock 2.2 (KA6) via Kies Mini, at some point it was rooted and a voodoo injected stock kernel was flashed using Odin, after that I flashed back to stock JFD using Odin and updated to stock 2.2 (KA6) via kies mini, and now I am on stock 2.2, no root, no lagfix, nothing...
If I get the unlock code from T-Mobile and I manage to unlock the device, what would happen if I flash back to stock JFD for whatever reason or flash some custom ROM ?!
Would the unlock remain intact? If no would I be able to use the same unlock code to unlock it again?
Thank you.

The unlock should remain.
My unlock has remained through flashing several ROMs and using Odin to go back to stock.
Thanks guys. I will call t-mobile today and request the unlock code.

I would go for this method.
For some reason when I asked for the unlock code when I still had my nexus they refused to give it to me. Probably didn't know what in the bloody hell I was talking about.
hate that about customer service reps.
If you had the phone for more thn 3 months they will give you the code without any issues...
Just go into the Market and search for the SGS Unlock App. It gets your unlock code automatically for you. With the GSM Galaxy S devices the unlock codes were loaded onto the devices, and somebody created an app to exploit it so there ya go.

There are multiple threads right now about unlocking. You can do it yourself and there are several methods, just search.
To be honest I read several times that the market application only worked for those who used it on JFD, once upgraded to JI6 it would not work. Right now I am on KA6.
I am a T-Mobile customer and have been for a while and in the past I requested the unlock code for other phones at least 3-4 times and always got it within a day or two... so I see no reason why I would fiddle with any other method if I can get it from the source...
What are you waiting for then?
Yesterday I placed a call to T-Mobile and requested an unlock code. Today within 20 hrs. from the request I received an email with the unlock code.
I requested codes before for other phones and I gotta say this was the fastest response by far for me.
Yeah its an easy process to just get it from tmobile.. did it a couple times with no problems. Just used the bs "im going abroad blah blah blah" story

Type *#7465625# into the dialer. This will tell you if the network lock is on or off.

Did you bother looking at the stickies in the SGS2 sub-forums?
Uhm ... once rooted download the galaxy s unlock app. Its on the market and its updated for s2. just make sure you select the s2 tab in the app. the cf s2 unlock app might
Work but fir some of us it didn't.
Not to be rude but you have heard of Google?

"Voodoo #GalaxySIIISIMUnlock pulled from Google Play by me. Will return if an new unlocking method is found working with latest firmwares."
(That's from his twitter)
Can't say it better... Anyway, you can dowload the app from his server.

If this is out of the equation for the time being is the only option to pay for an unlock code online? If so what are the recommended sites, as I have been ripped off before.

It is very likely you could pay your operator to unlock it. About sites, I never used one so I won't recommend anything.
If you aren't in LG8 or LG6 firmwares you can still use Voodoo Unlock app from supercurio website: project-voodoo.org
I'm on xLite 1.4.0 XXLH1. I got my phone from Phones4U (UK) and I'm on Orange (UK) when I tried to sim unlock it gives me an error code when I try use x#XXXX# commands. Now when I swap it for my simcard with T-Mobile (UK) I can make calls etc but in my STATUS in ABOUT PHONE it doesn't display my phone number, it just displays 00000000000 and on the Orange it does display the number.
So really it is unlocked but not fully unlocked? I know you can't really get half and half but it seems like it in this case. I haven't tried the manual way of unlocking but I will at one point, just want advice.
---------
Edit: Just noticed that my firmware is higher than most. Will degrade and try app again but will still check back and follow advice from you all!
the soft Voodoo Galaxy S III SIM Unlock is here link free ...............
