l need help....I unlocked my phone with ''Galaxy S2 SIM Ulock'' by Chainfire...but l have to send my phone to service ,and my warranty says my phone have TO BE SIM LOCKED!..how can l lock my phone back??! Thanks!
There is no way to do it I believe, just send your phone back, if they say its unlocked, just say it came like that, deny knowledge, they mix locked and generic phones up all the time I'm 99 percent sure they will not even check it.

Once you unlock your phone its a one way process, your gonna have to try your luck my friend, or get in touch with the guy who created the unlock to see if he can suggest a relock, but it would be dangerous and highly difficult, I would not attempt it, and I do some really freaky **** with my phone good luck bro

Ok so the saga continues. I sent phone in for repair since it wasn't powering on and not able to connect to usb. They sent me back a brand new unit, but it was an unlocked x10a locked to Rogers and now I can't get an unlock code anywhere. I have tried 5 different online companies, I called Rogers and begged as Sony recommended I do and now my only hope is Sony calls me today and gives me a code I guess. It sucks that I sent in an unlocked x10 and got back a locked one. I have a feeling I am going to be screwed! Any ideas? Thanks

What got locked and what got unlocked? Bootloader or root?

I think he means SIM locked to Rogers.
This is insane, SE should provide you with an unlocked phone,
exactly like the one you sent for repair, and if that's not possible,
an unlock code is the least they can do!
I hope it turns out well for you.
Just finished up another half hour long call with Sony begging for help, but they say there is nothing they can do. I am hitting a wall. Anyone here a Rogers Customer that could try to get an unlock code from them for me? I will gladly donate some cash via paypal for someones help.

Thanks for the info...I placed an order for the software and then got word from the site that the software is unavailable for at least 1-2 weeks lol. I can't catch a break! I will update again when something changes. Thanks for all your help guys.
Did you give Mobile in Canada a go? Also the handset was sent into Flextronics for repair so they just gave you a new unit it looks like.. where are you located?
You maybe out of luck as Rogers deems the warranty void if you unlock the phone, so tread lightly. PM if you have any q's
Actually that's not true. In fact Rogers' provides their own unlocking service. There are requirements, which I can't recall all of them, I believe if you have completed your contract or have purchased the phone outright they will do it. I'll see if i can find the phone number for that dept when i get to work
I have called Rogers and they are showing no compassion at all for my situation. I'm afraid I am going to have to sell the phone. It's really a shame, because I do love it. So on the Bay it goes to hopefully find a new home and add some funds for me to get something else. If anyone is interested in a Rogers locked x10 let me know.

Others have tried it, check forum on omnius homepage, Omnius are big on unlocking Sony Ericsson phones, now they have started this program for Samsung phones and for now its FREE, but it wont be for long, just want to share this info if anyone wants to unlock there phone.
Regards
Tried it about half an hour ago!
I have a Three UK locked phone on 2.3.3 KPN and I ran this program and it was unlocked after 1 restart! If it shows 'No Service', All I did was pull out battery and sim, wait for five minutes and then put another network sim in and powered up. Amazing. Thanks so much!
Really can't put it down in words useful this has been to me. Thanks again!

Excellent, just worked beautifully on the Ace I've bought for my son for Christmas.
Will keep him on 3 network as the tariff is excellent but can connect using my Orange sim while I set the phone up.

You won't find better value for him than Giffgaff. £10 per month for true unlimited data (no fair use policy). If you have good 02 coverage you will be fine. The sim card is free.

Hi there,
Just bought a Galaxy Ace locked to 3 for my father in law whilst he is visiting the UK. He goes back to Thailand in 2 weeks and has been told his phone should work back home with his Thai sim without having to unlock the handset. Does anybody know if this is true or will I need to get it unlocked before he leaves?
nope, it wouldnt work.
thats what "lock" means, literally.
Thanks for the reply
There is a post in the forum how to unlock. Its meant to work, not tryed.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
They just might give you an unlock code if you explain your situation. Its a slight possibility and you would be charged. Don't know how much but Orange charge £20. Better to try that before potentially losing a phone. I lost my IEMI unlocking my ZTE Skate and its a ball ache sorting that out.

Hi . I got my S3 and it has sim locked to 3 network . Is there any way that i could unlock it for free ??
+1 getting mine this weekend and it's been confirmed that it will be locked to 3 Ireland and im with Tesco Mobile, can someone please post unlocking codes or method as soon as it becomes available otherwise i wont be able to use my phone.
Perhaps the mods can make this a sticky as well no doubt there are many people looking to get it unlocked.
Galaxy S unlock from the Play store works on SGS1 & SGS2. Not sure if it works on the S3 though.
If you want to try it I suggest you root first then backup your efs folder in case you lose your imei. Worth a try I think.

Thanks mate but id sooner not risk it in case, i recall shortly after the Galaxy S2 was released i think it was Chainfire posted a program or app which could unlock the phone and worked a treat and was for free,hopefully someone else can do similar ASAP.

If your phone is rooted PM me a link to your nv_data.bin and I will take a look, initial analysis of the GT-I9300 nv_data.bin indicates a possible simlock block sign, but I cannot be sure without more files as an example.
Thanks to Zanr Zij who supplied his nv_data.bin file to me first.
hope someone releases an app for unlocking soon
My first ever Samsung handset, I don't have a different operator SIM to check if my handset is simlocked, is there a code i can tap into SGS3 to find this out?
Many thanks!

I though one of the main advantages of the international phone was that it came unlocked. Am I missing something?

If you buy directly from a network, there's a chance the phone will be locked to them. Sim-free ones are obviously unlocked.

getting my s3 tomorrow too. its locked on 3 UK, any idea how to get it unlocked for free?
well got mine through yesterday, i used phones 4 u to upgrade and using the code in a previous post shows there is no locks what so ever on my handset
If Odia can't unlock it, no one can!
He did brilliant job with SGS2.
Fingers crossed!
I received my S3 on theTthree network earlier today.
It has a 3 boot up logo but is not sim locked at all.
I have tested with Orange and O2 sims and both work perfectly.

What country is that mate?
I've never been with 3 but some people are saying that their phones are always locked whereas others are saying they are not but it would be useful to have unlocking codes that work, im reluctant to purchase before then as i don't wanna have to spend €20/30 to unlock.

Not very well at the moment since no one has provided their nv_data.bin files, note this offer is open to anyone and the phone does not have to be locked to help.

Hello Odia,
I sent you the files you asked. Please let me know if you need anything else. I would be really pleased to unlock my phone
Thanks guys.
Well its as I suspected from the file provided by Zanr Zij, there is a 256 bytes sign after the second simlock block, only I am not sure what its signing at the moment, so I need a before and after unlock by code nv_data.bin file or someone with a locked phone who will allow me to try somethings out over TeamViewer, I will take the required backups, but cannot guarantee the phone will not be corrupted.
Haven't yet purchased the phone yet so afraid cant be of any assistance but im keeping a close eye on this thread as soon as there is a successful unlocking code ill purchase.
I have purchased this phone from bell i have tried to get the code from cellunlocker.net and they have responded saying they cannot retrieve a code because my phone may have been blacklisted by bell. i have 10 unlock attempts left and a locked bootloader i have spent countless hours searching for a solution and have had no problems flashing my old galaxy but with this thing i feel like i am running into a brick wall.... is there a way that i can unlock this god damn phone so i can use it on fido? please help ANYONE....

i thank you, i will also join you too hold the doors open for you! lol does that mean i am sol on the sim lock?
if you bought the phone from bell then it shouldnt be blacklisted. if its blacklisted like the unlocking company said, then wouldnt the smart thing to do is to go back to a bell store to confirm that?
and if the companies online cant unlock it for you just get it unlocked at a bell store, if i remember correctly its $50.
