Hi,
I bought one galaxy s2 AT&T version from ebay.
And its not letting me enter unlock key at all.
On inserting my foreign sim card,it just reads,
network unlock key entered wrong multiple times. Contact service provider
Now what do I do to get this working?
Thanks guys.

The easiest way would simply be to root the Galaxy S2, try using the zerg rush exploit and when you get root, everything is quite easy to do.
The long method will be going back to an earlier version of ROM that is directly rootable. Head over to the Galaxy S2 forums, there are tons of info on how to do that.

@OP, this is the I9100 forum, you do not have an I9100 and any advice people give you here is likely to be for the wrong device, like above, and likely to make your situation much worse.

Wrong forum, AND it sounds like he bought a device that is locked due to the PIN being mis-entered too many times. Possibly a stolen or lost device that someone hocked on eBay to try to make money off a poor, unsuspecting soul. (The OP, in this case, unfortunately)
This is what I am suspecting.
I am filing paypal case tomorrow morning and I don't want to be wrong side of law.

Hi,
So I have rooted a couple of times now on my nexus s, but I made a big mistake. I recently got the samsung galaxy s2 and I bricked it like a noob by installing the Resurrection ICS rom on my phone. My galaxy s2 is the Tmobile version.
WHAT DO I DO?????? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Send it in for repair and expect a hefty bill.
TMobile USA or UK?

Tmobile USA. Also, when I say my phone is bricked, I mean it won't even turn on.
Should I just send it in and say "It just stopped working for some reason." Is that believable? lol

Hello Guys
I have a stupid question, can someone tell me how to unlock Xperia S so that I will be able to use any sim from any network? I have a chance to buy Xperia S on Monday but it is locked to 3 network in UK and I'm currently in Tesco Mobile. Please can someone help asap. Thanks
Maybe if you flash a world generic firmware.
Next time ask in Q&A forum.

I just phoned o2 as they are my network provider and they gave me the unlock code, put a different SIM card in from a different network and put in the code.
I thought they had to.

That's why I am informing you. If you ask them to unlock a phone that was sold as a contract violation, it won't do you any good.

This would be the case if the original person bought it with contract. But if he got it sim free( pay as you go), then it is legal.
To answer the original question, the only way is to phone three themselves and ask for unlocking code, I think it is 20-30 pounds
I recently bought the Xperia U for my partner that was locked to the 3 network. They will unlock it, BUT the person on the contract will have to make th call and they will supply him with the code, can take up to a week for it as it comes from Sony themselves. I think the cost was about £15 for it.
Thread moved to Q & A section.
I have galaxy s3 with a straight talk micro sim in it (the bring your own phone sim, cost 14.00 bucks). I bought a used GTI9100M s2 and re installed the stock rom because I wanted to remove the root from it. when I install my sim for my s3 with the adapter from mini to micro, it gives me the ENTER NETWORK UNLOCK CONTROL KEY BOX. I though the GTI9100 was unlocked as it is the international version. So why is it asking for a control key?
I just want to be able to use gti9100 for a backup phone in case my s3 breaks. can I switch the sim back and fourth like this?
Thank you for any advice.
You need to unlock it. Being the international version doesn't mean it's unlocked per se.

Do I need one of those unlock codes off the internet that cost about 10 bucks?
Also, can you or someone tell me if by doing this I'm unlocking the phone or the sim card itself? I don't want to cause a problem with my sim when I put it back in my S3, thaks
You can unlock it by searching the forum. There's a thread about this resolved yesterday at q&a.
And no, it won't affect your sim card at all, it will only unlock your phone.

I want to thank you for your help first, but I'm wondering now why I bothered getting a GTI9100 international if I still have to unlock it. All I've seen people saying is, " just get an unlocked phone, that way any gsm provider's sim will work with it".

Still doesn't belong here does it? I could post my Verizon model here since it's Sim unlocked and works with T-Mo, so this thread should really be in the general Note 7 area.
So when you say compatible - has anyone put together a list of frequencies for the various models? I'd like to find a Duos model to use with T-Mobile/Bell Mobility (Canada) with the maximum network compatibility. Really excited about this Note 7 - except for the non-removable battery.

No, if your phone is Verizon,regardless of what carrier you are on, you'd have to go to the Verizon forums to get the exploits for your phone. It's different hardware from the Tmo version.
