Network unlock and dismiss button only when trying to unlock samsung with Claro carri
I Have the same situation here . It looks like it is with all the phones that are under Claro in Puerto Rico. Even thus we have an unlock key , there is no way to enter it since when you boot it with another SIM card it only shows a "Network Lock " message keylock pad logo and a "Dismiss" buttom. So no where to enter the codes. Can anyone please help or I will need to sell my galaxy to a Claro subscriber.
Thanks

same here what I need to do for ask me the code? ??
Hi dev
I did all that using the Unlock sim application by chanfire.
1. I use Odin
2. Use superoneclick
3. Run the Galaxy unlock sim app
4. got my code and write it down.
5. Reboot phone with ATT sim card
6.Phone reboot with a keylock pad screen, "Network locked" and the only thing theat let me to get off that screen is a buttom that reads "Dismiss"
There is no way to enter codes , no place at all. I wonder if there is something claroin PR did to the phones ?

Why you didn't just buy the int'l version of the galaxy SII like many of us have done here?
I did not because i received this unit from a claro user that was transfer to India and he sold it to me (2 weeks ago) , that is why . But I will be selling it to any claro user who might want it since I cant get thru all this and then I will buy an international one.
Thanks any way for everything . Looks like there is no way to go around this.
put in a foreign network so
card, and it'll give you emergency call only screen, punch it in there
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Nop still does not work.....
Any luck with that?
I was about to buy a Claro Puerto Rico Samsung Galaxy S II, but I do need to unlock. Lucky for me I read your post. Is is possible to unlock these?
when you put another sim and it doesnt ask the code u have to change the room, because the stock room is blocking the input message
Hey guys hope you can help me.
I bought the code to unlock the network on my galaxy i9100, currently is locked to telcel mexico.
The thing is that I put in an AT&T sim card and no imput is displayed to enter the unlock code, when I put a T-Mobil sim card a blue lock is displayed saying Network Lock and a button sayin dismiss but no input to capture the code.
So what should I do? I was seaching in several posts and I think that changing the rom to another not from telcel can allows me to capture the unlock code, do you know if that is true? if so, can you tel me, what ROM is compatible to my samsung galaxy I9100 from Mexico ?
Thanks.
SIM Unlock SGS2 Telcel
Hi, I got last week my SGS2 for Telcel and I'm afraid you waste your money with the code, don't worry I also bought an usefulness code.
I did these steps:
DIAL *#SIMLOCK# (7465625) you will have a popup displaying Personalization status, the option NETWORK LOCK [YES] means your mobile is locked for TELCEL, the other options displays OFF.
IF you have NETWORK LOCK [OFF] means your mobile is SIM unlocked.
First you need to root your device, look in the forum how to do that and download busybox.
Well to unlock download from the market the app Galaxy_S Unlock market.android.com/details?id=com.helroz.galaxysunlock (it works with S and SII)
Open the app and follow steps, WARNING there are two steps for number two, I used second one.
Once finished, reboot the mobile and dial one more time *#SIMLOCK# you will have now NETWORK LOCK [OFF]
However I installed a SIM from IUSACELL it doesn't work, what worked for me was downgrade the the version to 2.3.3 reboot with IUSACELL simcard adn voila it is working. After IUSACELL simcard is accepted I upgraded to 2.3.6
You can change the version, root, no matter which change, even restore to Telcel image and the mobile will continue unlocked.
I hope it works for you, if you have any problem just let me know via DM or my twitter @D4N13L0G

What ROM is compatible, I downloaded one from the link above, one from telcel, and works fine the problem is that when I switch the sim card it says that is network locked, so I need another ROM but i dont know what is compatible with telcel, any help?
Thanks
thanks to hugeband here is the guide that he sent to me to downgrade the galaxy s2(telcel), the only proble, that I had, was that i return to android 2.3.6 from telcel, and the Rom is locking the sim card again....
to get the guide please send me a PM or to hugeband and we will send you the URL.
There's something odd, I unlock the galaxy s2 with the method described here and I am pretty sure that it is woking, since my GS2 is using now a T-Mobile sim card, well, the odd thing is when I switch the sim card for an AT&T sim card, the GS2 is still displaying the sim card error message.... I don't have the telcel rom anymore but this message is still happening. Odd thing.
Similar problem
Hi i have a similar problem. my network block is off but I still can't use my iusacell sim. The problem is that i am already in 2.3.3. What should I do?
The problem is that Telcel's modem is a locked one, so even if your device is "technically" unlocked, the modem file will keep popping that annoying lock thing.
1) Dial this from your phone*#7465625#
2) If you have the network lock off, go to next step, otherwise try to follow the second post of this threat until your network lock is off.
3) Flash any rom (or modem file if you wish to keep telcel's crappy apps) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 After carefully reading the guide posted by Intratech and then try to switch sim cards again.
*As always be very careful before flashing anything and read all of the instructions. No one can take responsibility if you mess something up except for yourself... If you follow the instructions to the letter you should have no problems, as myself and others have done this before.
*If you have any more questions please post them in this threat so more people can learn, I will not respond to PMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1075278 Not working anyother links or forum?? i cant seem to unlock mines, same telcel i tried helroz method but still cudnt work but wen i dial *#7465625# everthing is off
i have rooted my international galaxy s3 GT-I9300
and installed voodoo sim unlock
when i open the application it says
sim lock:inactive
so is my phone factory unlocked and will it run any carrier sim card?
Basically yes, that's what it says.
so phone is unlocked right?
Again, yes.
thankyou very much
I also use voodoo sim unlock it says network inactive but when i insert a diff sim it didnt work. Untill now my sim is locked. Try to put other carrier so you will see if its really unlock. Hope someone fix voodoo sim unlock,coz thats the reason i root my phone.
Question : I am not sure were to find the answer. So for some reason my s2 became network lock . The last thing i did before it now ask for "SIM network unlock PIN" is a nandroid back using v12.6 with siyah s2 4.1.5kernel without any problem. I have been using wanam prior versions without a single problem. This s2 is purchase through samsung retail store here in Philippines so it is unlock to any network when it was purchase about 9 months ago, there are only 3 networks here and i have tried 2major network provider sim cards out of the 3 and both sim the s2 is asking for SIM network unlock PIN , i have been using the same sim card since the first day of purchase of this s2. I have tried a different ROM, currently on faryaab SuperNexus build 4( did a full wipe) and still asking for SIM network unlock PIN. So i don't even know what network is it lock to. Can any body help, any information is much appreciated

I think you may have to use all these Galaxy S2 unlock apps to solve that. Please back up your /efs partition if you haven't before attempting to unlock your phone.
I live in Jamaica and a friend brought me a Galaxy S3 i9300. the phone came with a SIM Card from "Simple Mobile"
Whenever i insert a local carrier's SIM inside the phone it asks for Unlock code... HOWEVER... if i insert an
AT&T or T-MOBILE or SPRINT or even THREE (Uk carrier) it doesnt ask for an unlock code.
Im guessing its not unlocked... but if its locked, which carrier is it locked to? and how do i go about finding out?
Sounds more like region lock than network lock.
I want to buy an unlock code but i need to know the carrier its locked to. How do i unlock this Galaxy S3
