I've recently got my s2 from ebay and it is locked by t-mobile.
I've contacted t-mobile and apparently the owner of the phone will be allowed to unlocked it. Even I have the money to pay, I couldn't unlock it.
I've root my phone and tried several methods (by Odia and Chainfire, even the Galaxy_S Unlock) to no avail.
So, I would like to request any of you who are kind enough to just help me. I've uploaded my nv_data.bin file
do let me know if you guys need anymore. Much appreciate!

Hi everybody,
My sister came back from Canada with her phone and she didn't ask for unlocking it (I don't even know if they would have done that for free., but....)
I told her, "no problem" I can do it. On my HTC just rooting the device did the trick!
On the Hero, even a goldcard seems to be useless.
Am I right?
The only option is to pay a site to give the code (I found unlock now .com that does it for 15€). Has anyone used this here?
It's a telus / canada HTC Hero and I wanted to be sure that someone has done something like that with success.
Thanks for anyone who will answer!
Edit : I found a process here, but I need cable. Anyone in Paris?
Hello everyone, this is my first post here and I am in need of desperate help.
I have looked everywhere I could but (my bad) I am not into all this stuff at all. I am not familiar with ROMs Kernels etc. I just follow tutorials blindly.
I have a galaxy s2 bought which I bought in the UK. It was locked on 3 network. Later I moved to another country where I got it unlocked for about $35 but that still showed signs of 3 network (The 3 startup logo, 3 bookmarks in web browser etc), however the phone was unlocked now and picked up any network I used.
I noticed the phone stopped giving me any kind of updates and it was on andriod 2.0.1.
I looked up the internet on how to install latest updates for my phone.
Found out this guide and went thorough all the process: goo.gl/yJSga8
Everything went fine but when the phone booted up, it asked me to enter "sim network unlock pin" and now all networks are inaccessible.
I am pretty much stuck at this point. Found guides telling to root the phone and then installing apps like Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock by Chainfire.
I have tried it once and was near to kill my phone. (The yellow triangle appeared at startup and got stuck there. No boot.) I just re-flashed the firmware by following the first guide again and now the phone is like before asking for sim network unlock pin.
I have attached the screenshot of the info that you might need.
I am willing to pay $15 via PayPal if anyone can help me out to fix this issue. (I am a bit hesitant using the rooting method as I an afraid I might kill my phone. But if that's the only choice then I will go with it)
Please ignore if I sound really stupid as I really don't know about this stuff. Please ask me any details that I may have missed out.
Thank you very much!

If you don't want to root, then you'll have to call your carrier and ask for an unlock code. Mine has that service at least, don't know about all carriers.
As far as solving your problem goes if your carrier won't help out... The thing that works for a lot of members here is to root, then use galaxsim unlock app, by xda member spocky12. Search for the thread.
That app requires root access... To do that, easy way is to flash philz kernel from recovery mode. Search up philz kernel thread here on xda and read up how to flash it

Hello hopper, thanks for the response.
I took your first suggestion but instead of calling the company itself I used an online service unlockliberty.com.
They charged me $20 via PayPal and almost instantly sent a code to my email address.
I entered the code on the phone but it gave me "Network unlock request unsuccessful" error.
Contacted support and they sent me a defreeze code and instructed me to restart, enter the defreeze code instead of the unlock code and then it will say "Network unlock request unsuccessful" and after that enter the unlock code. I did the steps and it worked like a charm! my phone is now unlocked.
I really recommend their services if you are in a similar situation.
Thanks alot!
Hello,
so I've trying to unlock my galaxy S2 GT-I9100P (Orange) for 2 days and maybe 20 hours without any results. I am really get pis*ed about this and I know about all threads here and I was reading a ton of them and was trying everything I read, but my phone is still unlocked and I started to hate it (my phone)...
I've tryed rooting with S2 GT-I9100P insecure, secure kernels, other kernel and even unrooting and then rooting and etc.. And after every root tried using Galaxy S2 SIM unlock (tryed GalaxSim Unlock from Play Store also but it doesn't run, just shows black screen) and nothing! No unlock code found and still it's asking for unlock code when other SIM card is inserted.
I did a lot of read here and it looks this forum have a nice community so I thought should really get help here even my post would be like a hundred other ones and annoying. So I would really appreciate your help guys!
hey guys
please someone..
Have you tried any of the online unlocking sites? I found they can work quite well. Run you model phone as well as provider and unlock sim through google and see what comes up.
If all else fails try contacting Orange for the unlock code.
For as start try sim-unlock.net

Man it's paid. The only thing why I tried to root it and to unlock because it doesn't cost. There's like 1000 sites like simunlock to get unlock code for like 50$.
And orange still doesnt want to give me the code

I researched a lot about this issue and sent plenty of emails to unlocking site and only this one unlockcode4u.com reply to me the following:
Quote:
"Unless your phone prompts for the unlock code when powered on with a non-accepted SIM card, there is no known way to enter the unlock code in the phone."
I also found out that if your LG phone IMEI begins by 99000, the phone won't ask for the unlocking code in most cases, even if you enter the common LG sequence (2945#*740#)
I tried a local unlocking shop too and they could not help me neither.
This is quite frustrating
Any help would be appreciate
My friend asked if i could help with his phone. He recently got a new sim card and found out his phone is locked.
Everything on his phone is the way it came out of the factory, nothing has been change... So, for all info on the hardware just google 'acer liquid z520'.
While searching for a way to unlock it, i stumbled upon these sites: http://www.tntts.com/2016/07/open-line-acer-liquid-z520.html & https://www.phcorner.net/threads/230676/
Is this really a way you can unlock the phone? I never saw this kind of way, I thought you needed to unlock bootloader and/or flash some new rom...
Tried searching for a similar thread, did not find anything, sorry if i missed something.
If this is not a legit way to unlock this phone, please point me in the right direction. He would like to avoid paying 20$ to unlock it and waiting for another year for the contract to end is also not an option.
Thanks for the help.
