[TOOL] galaxy s unlock - Galaxy S II General

i been serching the web for a tool to unlocl my SGS II I9100 and the only solution i found is the tool from helroz it works perfectly, i even use chanfire and anothers tools but those didnt work for me... so a huge thanks to helroz,, by the way the app is on the android market

If Chainfires kernel didn't work for you then I'm afraid you must have been doing it wrong my friend.

Chainfires CF kernel has nothing to do with unlocking the S2 but rather rooting it. His SGS2 SIM unlock code finder app does however but for me, as with the OP, it didn't work. He acknowledges that it doesn't work with all S2s. I used the same app and it unlocked my S2 in a matter of seconds, great app.

My bad, I stand corrected thanks

The app modifies the efs rather than finding the unlock code, both work, the modification will also work in cases where the code finder can't find it.

[Q] UNLOCKING SAMSUNG galaxy S

I have a Samsung Vibrant and its asking for a sim network unlock pin, how do I unlock it?
Thanks
There are so many unlock threads in this forum, search for one.
There is a sgs unlock app which works for some people and better with root. There is also a windows based java tool.

know of any windows based tools that I can download?
I can't get the link right now but look for a thread that involves editing your nv_ files. It's easy and worked for me.
You can also call tmob and ask for an unlock code.

Since your in the vibrant section, I'm going to assume your on t mobile. tmo will give you the codes for free. Also there is an app in the market for sgs unlocking, also free. There are also numerous threads here an how to do it manually, but I'm going to assume that you can't find them because if you had googled how to unlock sgs vibrant you would already know all that I said above.
Beware of angry gingerbread man
I made some research and its call sgs unlocker, but it doesnt do anything, I will keep looking on the forum for more answers, but if you could help me a bit more will be fine , by the way thx for the fast response
Call or chat T-Mobile support and tell them you are traveling out of the country and want an unlock code. They will e-mail it to you.

Have you tried the Galaxy_S unlock by helroz on the market? Works great for me but remember to backup your EFS so you don't lose your IEME number.
The other one is Samsung Unlock Tool and it doesn't work for me.

Bootloader unlock page under maintenance

I was planning to unlock my bootloader today. When I tried to open the Sony ericsson page, its showing the page is under maintenance. Are you guys getting the same response from the sever? Or did Sony completely stop the bootloader unlocking?
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App
Same question here. I tried it since yesterday and that feature is under maintenance till now. I am planning to unlock R800i. Did Sony Ericsson stop the bootloader unlocking and if so, any alternative to unlock bootloader may I know? Thanks in advance.
Well, we will see. Hopefully its just a real maintenance, but maybe they are fixing the hole which the guys used to unlock cdma phones.
Let's hope it comes back to life soon!
Regards
I guess they're fixing CDMA keys hole. Looks like Verizon isn't happy about it.
But I don't understand why it takes so long to modify some small piece of code to disable MEID calculator.
Maybe you DDOSed them too much ?

Thanks guys.

succeeded, but with a little problem. Could any1 pls help me?
i followed Bin4ry's guide [How-to] Root your Play.
On the first try of flashing system with play_modded, i got some error message like android.process.acore & android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly, so I soft reset it to factory setting and flash system again and succeeded, with no error message.
But the problem is after the root process, my phone can't detect 3G network. The service provider I am using has two options, 2G and 3G, and phone can only detect 2G network.
Another problem is that although I can find WiFi networks and connect, WiFi connection is not working anymore (no data send/receive through WiFi).
If any of you know how to fix that 3G network & WiFi missing issues, kindly let me know. Thanks in advance.
One more, my rooted play is now on 3.0.A.2.184 build and when I connect it to computer, PC Companion said found new software update and ask me whether want to update or not. Rooting process will be overwritten and I will need to root it again if I update software (base 3.1.A....something I think) I would like to know.
Thank you again.
Regards,
edit : sorry if this post should be under Q & A section, please let me know and I'll open a new thread
Im assuming you have a r800i? If so, my simple recommendation would be to flash 4. Firmware. Then enter fastboot and flash dooms kernel which will automatically root it for you. Hope this helps.

For starters unlock ur bootloader again, as you need it to flash the kernel (which in my opinion is worth keeping), then go over to the developers sub forum, download the UK generic 4.0.whatever the rest of the code is firmware, flash it with flashtool, the go to doomlords thread and download his kernel. All instructions you need are in the relevant threads, easy to follow. I would link them, but I'm away from my computer at the moment. And I cant link from my phone. Sorry. Hope all goes well!

Also, the default network operator apps still install - the Hutchinson 3G APP AND BBC iPlayer etc..

Hi
Before somebody has a go at you!
If you search the forum you will see the voodoo app doesn't work on later firmwares.
If you go to the themes and apps section of this forum on the first pages you will see a thread for a unlock app that works on all firmwares.

You failed to read the faqs and guides .
You must pay the vendor to unlock your 4.3
Just follow the old tutorial foe manually unlocking with a hex editor, then instead of getting the md5 from the log, do (cat nv_data.bin; echo -n Samsung_Android_RIL) | md5sum
Or unlock with Voodoo, then fix up the md5 with this command.

All bow to the thread ressurector! )
I upgraded to a S5 and want to give my girlfriend my old S3. Problem is it's locked into Vodafone, and she already cut her sim and cannot use her old phone(will get an adapter if I can't solve it today). I would like to unlock the i9300 today, and free if possible. I've searched all over but cannot find even a manual hack like .NetRolller 3D said above. I did find a ton of "100% successful" apps that hide their links behind surveys and crap like that, and I'm not falling into it.
So... how do I unlock her phone at home?
P.S. It currently has RessurectionRemix 6.0 on it, but I can downgrade to stock 4.x.x if needed.
Thanks in advance!
Please re upload the Unlock App
Link is dead. Please re upload the Unlock App for i9300.

Got stuck on SIM LOCK with the Leaked Samsung 4.1.2 XXLSJ Firmware? SOLVED

Hello there, if you are a total noob just like me, or you are simply looking for this and just flashed the recently leaked Samsung 4.1.2 XXLSJ Firmware and got stuck with that SIM UNLOCK code, the solution is just at hand and it is totally safe and free.
All you need is a WiFi connection and have a visit over the Play Store
Look for "Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock", which is a free app and download it
The job gets done just by taping over "SIM unlock code", it may take a few moments and you are done with the number.
Copy the number elsewhere and reboot your phone, once your asked about the number just type it and you are ready to go.
Remember you can only use this code once (per phone cycle) so if you miss typed it you are going to need to reboot again.
Enjoy your phone and allow me to give you an extra tip: NEVER FORMAT your Sd Card with this new firmware as some have reported that it resulted on BRICKING your lovely SGS2.
James.-

One could also restore their efs from a backup.
The efs method worked for me while the sim unlock app method didn't.
