Hi all may i beg a bit of advice regarding my locked SGS2
I bought a SGS2 off ebay that was ment to be O2 locked. I am on O2 currently and coming off a modded HTC HD2. Anyway I have rooted the galaxy s2 with lite'ning mod v1.2 which is all good.
The problem is that the phone is stuck in the EDGE network for I assume o2. It was like this before on the stock ROM. I have played with all the settings, turning data on etc but am unable to get a 3g connection where my old HD2 got one with ease.
When connecting to keis 2 the firmware version comes up as PDA:KE7HONE:KDJ/CSC:KD1 (CPW)
Does this mean the phone is locked to the carphone warehouse and not O2?
When i run chainfire's sim unlock app it is v quick and gives a code of multiple 00000s then nothing. I am stuck on EDGE until I can sort this. I am nervous about trying the code again regarding the warnings! Any help very much appreciated

No it means its using the CPW CSC which has O2 network in it .
You can always try the O2 settings entered manually .

aargh I'm a fool! Thanks for your reply JJEgan but i've fixed it with the obvious step i forgot to do - factory reset! allowed O2 settings to be recognised.
All good now.
Mods pls feel free to delete this post.
Thanks
Hi Guys, I know this isn't the right location for this thread, haven't got high enough post count.
I have a Voda Au branded sgs2 with kernal version DUKF2. Tried to unlock with Odia's method, Chainfire app, even spent a few (wasted) bucks on the 123unlock app.
And as expected Voda is dragging their feet to supply a sim unlock code.
Also, my nv_data.bin looks different from some of the others posted in Odia's thread...yes i rooted the phone and got it from /efs/nv_data.bin, copied to sdcrad ..etc.
Is it possible sammy have caught on and changed something?
Any help appreciated. Cheers.
Weird that voda simlocked, my Optus one arrived completely open. I'm sure you've confirmed it's locked before spending any time on this but what does the following code give you for the 4 lock values?:
*#7465625#
Help!
Hey I also have a vodafone sg2... can you help me root it? I understand the procoss but unsure on the firmware to use... any help? Mine is KF2 however its a model I9100T... does it matter can someone give me some help?
I think that Voda are just mean pricks. The Network lock is on and the other 3 (sub, SP, CP) are off.
Unrealtb, I used the latest CF_Root - V4.0 firmware, rooted it, the restored the original DUKF2.

Cool just rooted my phone!! thanks mate, much appreciated
No worries.
I think I've worked out my problem...
New Hardware Version - MP 1.300
New Radio Version - SP6260_U1_01.1121_DB110525
New Unlock Method
Now just need to wait for a solution.
I just rooted mine now and lashed Villain Rom. Running the SGS2simunlock app now see what it returns. Will let you know results, mine is also from Voda
Hrm... I wonder if it's not working because you possibly have the GT-I9100T and most of the unlocking work was done on the I9100? I remember reading Intra was quite shocked at how much larger the stock firmware for voda was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14838150&postcount=6. Still not entirely sure of what the difference is.
So it seems no unlock code found! i believe Voda's was bigger because they had like 7-8 extra apps installed, plus Voda's came with Navigon preinstalled
I believe Odia is working on a solution.

We should have a better idea once Telstra release theirs.
Weird thing though, *#2222# shows HW version 1.2, but looking at the .bin file it shows 1.3
Hey sorry for the newb question, what are you trying to are you trying to use the phone ok n other networks? unlock?
Have you tried http://vodafone.com.au/unlock
Thought it's free to unlock vodafone?
No I do not have this handset but thinking about it and going to vodafone, but if it's locked and there's no solution yet, I'll just wait awhile
If people want this done faster, I am currently assisting Odia in getting the new hax.
Please read this post and send me your files.

First root the locked device with CF Root using Odin (see my signature item 1) than unlock the phone with Voodoo Sim unlock tool in Playstore, after it is unlocked flash this fix with cwm recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802951.
-Edit- It seems voodoo Sim unlock tool is temporarily removed from Playstore, keep an eye on it though, it will be back because it is beeing updated for newer firmwares.
For now call your provider and ask for the sim unlocking key.
You can also unlock your phone here http://www.sammobile.com/unlock/index.php?phone=I9300 , it costs 15 euro (creditcard or paypal) and you need to be rooted before the unlock.
Hi guys,
I've been searching about this subject but i could not find a anwser to all my questions. I own a Galaxy S III, and i see a lot off people using the UK Unbranded Official Rom, saying that it have more advantages. My phone is sim locked to vodafone, therefore it has a vodafone official rom. In the first place i would like to ask if flashing to the UK Unbranded rom gives me more advantages than the rom i'm using right know. And does flashing void the warranty ?
Thanks

No but it will remove Voda apps and branding .
. And does flashing void the warranty ?
Technically from Voda possible but not from Samsung .

hi.. just wanna ask a simple question. my sister from u.s gave me her note 8 here in the philippines. the phone is open line already, and any sim here in the philippines can be use. i'm planning to update it with android pie using odin. now my question is, does flashing CSC will make my phone lock again to its original network provider? or it will stay open to any sim here in the philippines?
