I was given a new S2 on Orange (running ICS) which I didn't want or need, so I sold it. The person who bought it said she wanted an unlocked phone to use on another network and I told her she could get this phone unlocked, either for free, if she googled it (using a couple of apps that root then unlock) or from most phone shops. She bought it on that proviso.
I received a call from her today - she is complaining that she tried the "free" way - which didn't work, then tried a number of phone shops, every one of which said that the phone couldn't be unlocked.
She may have done the "free" way incorrectly therefore making it impossible for the phone to now be unlocked. I feel somewhat responsible but don't want to take back the phone now. I said I would call in to try to help her when I'm next in her area. Is there anything I can do to get the phone unlocked now?
Any help and advice would be very welcome and thank you in advance.
I doubt there is anything that can be done and the assistance you are asking may not be forthcoming from this forum.

Whoever tries to unlock the phone will need some basic knowledge in this area and needs to understand all the risks associated with this process. If you can tick off these two boxes just follow a few simple steps (just done that myself and can confirm it works fine):
1. Root your GS2 (plenty of threads on this forum)
2. Go to Google Play and search for "Galaxy S Unlock", the author is "Helroz".
3. Run the app from step 2. Go to "Unlock SGSII" tab on the top of the screen.
4. Tap on the first item:"Step 1 Backup files...."
5. Tap on the second item:"Step 2 Change lock-bytes", and wait until your phone restarts.
That's it.
No chance. If mobile repair shops can't unlock it, no way anything from Google Play (or anywhere else, Unlock SGSII included) will unlock it. Somebody is paying for an unlock code from a carrier.

This is the way to do it. It works because i did it this way 2 months ago on my orange uk I9100P last week on my draughts new I9100P. You might have to update your bussybox that's all
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Many thanks to everyone for their inputs, I really appreciate it. I'll be trying today/tomorrow to sort it and will update with result.
Cheers everyone.
All done successfully - many thanks to all who replied to my plea for help.
i am having samsung galaxy s2 I9100 .i brought it second hand.i dont know that it is not factory unlocked.now i flashed my s2 to leaked XXLSJ 4.2.1.now my device is asking for sim card unlock code.what should i do.....plzzzz help
OK first time in this forum, (so please be kind!!)
I'm not a total newbie to android - Google Nexus One - CM7.2 and SGS CM9.
Currently :
S2 GT-i9100P
Android 4.0.4
Baseband - I9100PBVLPB
Kernel - 3.0.15-I9100BULPC-CL332484
Build no. IMM76D.BVLPC
Was originally running 2.3.6 GB but updated via KIES to 4.0.4
Rooted with CF-Root
Yes, I have backed up my efs file
Yes. I have the dodgy emmc chip
NO!! Not bothered with NFC as probably gonna go CM10 when succesfully unlocked.
I've tried all the unlocking routes, free and paid (still waiting for several refunds!!). "Helroz" works, but if phone is restarted, have
to run app again to get unlock.
Does anyone have a permanent fix?
If it were for me, then no problem running Helroz every time, but it's for my daughter so want something permanent.
Going to go to a "phone shop" tomorrow to see what they can do....But much prefer to get it sorterd here with people that know and care!!
Thanks in advance
OK After MORE searching, finally found the thread for "GalaxySim Unlock 1.02" Duly downloaded and works a treat. I have thanked in that thread.

Hi all,
I've been a happy CM user for over a year now - rooted and flashed ROM's in the first week that I got my GS2. I also used Chainfire's SIM unlock in the process.
For the last 2 months I have been updating to the latest nightly of CM10 without any problems, just this last week I did my usual update and upon reboot I was greeted with a "Network SIM Unlock" screen. I thought it might just be a bug in the nightly, pressed dismiss and rolled back to the previous nightly but the problem persisted. I went as far as to flash CM7 but the problem has followed me there too.
I've tried using chainfire's SIM unlock again, but it couldn't find the code. I've also tried an app called GS_II repair with no luck. Tried factory reset's, cache clearing and different kernels, all to no avail.
Anybody have any ideas what the problem is / how to fix it?
Any help would be highly appreciated!
search on google play GalaxSIM Unlock from Spocky,it's free,but when you will push the unlock button you have to pay like 2 euro.I buy my phone with 4.0.3 and when i upgraded to 4.1.2 i lost the unlock...with this app i unlock my device and since then i flash a lot of roms,it's great an cheap :good:
Thanks for the pointer - not sure if I want to spend money on an app that doesn't guarantee a fix...
"highly appreciated".......bollocks-you didnt even hit the thanks button when that guy helped you.Dont want to spend money-then keep the lock on......lol.
And if you bothered to search, you will find out that if you read Spockys thread on xda, you can download his app and use it for free.
Also there is an option to donate to him as a thanks for his work, in helping out ungrateful cheap skate nerks that didnt buy a ....in unbranded phone to begin with.
hello everybody
Yesterday my phone asked me to update and i accepted it unfortunately.
I live in France, phone is bought here blocked by SFR operator.
One year ago i got the code to unblock from SFR and I unblocked it and since then i have used FREE, COSMOTE(Greece) and lately i m using BOUYGUES operator.
Problem:
After the update, phone got simlocked again and with my BOUYGUES sim it asks me for a "sim network unlock pin". I insert the code i had but it doesn't unlock it.
I called SFR and fun fact is that they claim that the unlock is permanant (they are not aware of this new issue) and the unlock code unique. I asked them the code to ensure what i had is correct and they confirmed... So code is 100% correct...
Since it was not working they told me to remove any sim card from the phone and do the following steps...
1 click on TELEPHONE icon
2 enter *#46744674 and press #
3 the code should disappear
4 then enter #7465625*638* and press #
5 you will now be prompted to enter the unlock code
6 enter the code NCK and press ok OK.
if code is good, phone gets unlocked
So while step 2-3-4 work fine, the #7465625*638*# disappears but step 5 never happens... There is not screen prompting me to insert the code....
I called Samsung after this and I told them everything i ve tried...
they proposed me to do this --> *#0111*CODE# and it will get unlocked... (super unfriendly french customer service hanged up on me)
I did it but nothing happen.. not even the *#0111*CODE# got disappeared like it happened with steps 2-4 above....
To me it looks like the new android 4.1.2 messed up everything....
Problem seems new... i found two posts in french describing the same problem with no solution but i cant post the links here.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks for reading this
Yeah, root it & unlock it.

Issue in process of rooting the phone - to unlock the phone
Hi,
I have similar problem with my Samsung Galaxy S II SGS2 GT-i9100.
My phone is UNROOTED.
After it was updated from ICS to Jellybean (upgrade via the air, not using Kies and not using Odin), I am also asked for SIM UNLOCK PIN.
The phone was originally bought locked to O2 UK network, then unlocked, but the unlock code used in past does not work now.
The problem is that in all places it says to root the device, and in order to root it, I am advised to create a backup copy of efs folder, and in order to backup the efs folder I need to have root permissions... - deadlock !
In additions, many guides says that in order to root the phone, I need to have only for phones that are SIM FREE, which brings me back to start - I will not be able to flush ROM/Kernel to root it as my phone is SIM locked...
Any suggestions that will help me unlock the phone?
Thanks!

You're very confused.
1) Root your phone. There are multiple methods. Search/read/learn & choose whichever one you think is best for you. The phone does not have to be 'sim-free' or unlocked or anything else in order to root it. As I said, you are clearly confused. You need to search/read/learn & not do anything to your phone until you're no longer confused, or you'll 'break' it.
2) Create an EFS backup using kTool from Google Play. Keep one copy of this backup on your PC, and another copy on the external SD card in your phone if you have one.
3) Unlock the phone with whichever app you want to use to unlock it.
Hello
I found an easy way to root it but i cant post a link... so google "[RESOLU] code deverouillage reseau" and you ll see the thread... (it is in french)
As user "gab34" says, i downloaded the proper zip file (in my case was XWLSD_root.zip) and put it in the sd card as it is (as a zip). (you have to subscribe to let you download the file :/)
Then i pressed up-power-home buttons until it turns off and on again.
Then i was in the recovery meny , and with the volume button i went down to "apply update from external storage" i pressed the power button to enter, chose the file XWLSD_root.zip, press again power button, installation will take place in ../ , press power button, the reboot now and power button.
The phone restarts as rooted and then you can use GALAXSIM to unlock it..
You download Galaxsim unlock for free, then it tells you if it can unlock and if so you pay 3 euros for full version and unlock it....
Try google translator and a french speaker if you need help with the site... It took me 10 minutes to do it...
If not, try to google how to root easily like i did with just a zip file in the sd card...
Hope it helps
Thanks but we kinda know how to do that.
Please don't (try to) post a link from another site, those sites get the info from xda anyway.

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!
Attached Info Screenshot
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!
Hi friends,
Hopefully this will be newbie appropriate questions that are easy to answer:
1. I just bought a used ATT Lg G5 H820 (Titan I think) where the seller gave me an unlock code - I've never bought a used phone before, but it's for my son, and I don't know how to execute unlocking and what not, but I figure Google is my friend there.
2. I want to downgrade android from 7 N to 6 Marshmellow - I've been reading that there are a couple of Flash tools that can do that if I have the image - I've searched high and low and moved heaven and earth to find one that I think is bona fide without making me go through a sea of click ad traps, to no avail - my assumption is all I need are the tools and just the stock image.
So here are my questions:
A. Can anyone share a link to the image that I seek where downloading it doesn't require a ninja to do the download?
B. Do I have to use an ATT image? can I use a Tmobile H830? bad idea?
C. If I flash it down to Marshmellow with either of the images as mentioned in (B) are there negative ramifications to unlocking the phone?
Thank you in advance - I sincerely appreciate any and all advice on the matter.

1. To unlock the phone from a stock rom power off the phone and insert a sim card for another network and power it up. Phone will ask for the unlock code when it finishes booting. Since it's an ATT variant use a t mobile sim card. I'd make sure you can unlock it before you do anything else.
2. Why do you want to downgrade to marshmallow? Doesn't seem like its worth the effort. Besides you are going to have to then turn off updates or your going to get updated to nougat. If you decide to downgrade you have to downgrade to an ATT image. Using a T mobile image will most likely brick your phone. Not sure if it will be a soft or hard brick but it's not worth it.

Good idea on #1 - I wondered about that, but wasn't sure if that mattered - I did do a complete reset as soon as I got the phone, and haven't unlocked still, so I'm hoping that I didn't ruin the 'unlockability' by resetting it.
Anyway on your #2, I did a phone upgrade recently from G5 to G6, and was on Marshmellow with the G5 - there were aspects that I'm familiar with that Android version, so I want to try to downgrade - I've never experimented with the phones that I pay service on because I've always been afraid of bricking it bad, so I figure that with my sons used phone, I can tinker a bit without losing too much sleep if I mess things up.
Thank you for that great response - I sincerely appreciate it!

Hi there,
Might I ask if you have any ideas on how I can proceed to downgrade to Marshmellow? - I want to try rooting Marshmellow if I can.
This is a bit off topic, but when I was exploring this site, I found this subdomain https://depot.xda-developers.com - and I'm very interested in purchasing one of those lifetime VPN services, but wanted to get more info from the community about the VPN options, as there seemed to be many pretty low cost VPN products to choose from.
And off the top of your head, do you know of a Simcard that I can purchase with no contracts where the minutes do not expire at the end of the month, that you personally like? - it seems like there are so many GSM options for this unlocked used phone. tia
Hi!
New here, hope I am in the right place...I have limited tech skills (born pre cell phones and computers) I did manage to install a custom ROM on an old HTC years ago, and thought I could do it again!
I have a Samsung A10e (SM-A102U) locked to sprint.
I can get the developer options but can't get the OEM unlock option. I also can't wait 7 days. Have tried a few things with the date and turning off updates etc, nothing worked. Here is what I am trying to do in order (please correct me if it is the wrong order) Ultimately I want my phone unlocked for use with any sim, and install a custom rom, to remove some bloatware. Could I wipe the phone totally take it to a piece of memory with no ROM and then re-load it, or use ADB to do it? Please excuse my ignorance - if I sound clueless I kinda am!
1. Unlock the bootloader
2. Install TWRP
3. Install custom ROM
It has taken me days of searching but to no avail, literally pulling my hair out. Happy to buy a beer for anyone that helps!
Wow,thanks...
Response has been overwhelming...

I have the exact same question.
it will not happen alot of us based carriers will lock down the phone via bootloader our best option is to find combination firmware and hopefully find root that way assuming that method still works.
Same situation here with Verizon. And sorry to tell you but I don't think anything will happen for you after seven days either, at least nothing did for me. I've spent a long time trying to get past this with no success, trying every trick I've found (the changing the date manually trick, factory resetting and trying on WiFi, etc.).
Also, using the app "Settings Database Editor," I've found the config/property where OEM bootloader unlock has been disabled:
"sys.oem_unlock_allowed" "0"
Screenshot here.
I'm hoping maybe we can edit that property via ADB or something. I'm not really holding out any hope here though. :-/
One other random discovery (not really helpful or relevant for our OEM bootloader unlock goal, but something I discovered while trying to obtain unlock): I believe I discovered a firmware error (at least on the Verizon build). When you hold volume up + power together for about 30 seconds, the phone shows the recovery menu for a split second but then instantly/immediately wipes all data and factory resets, without ever allowing the user to choose their own recovery menu selection and without giving any reset confirmation prompt before instantly wiping all user data. It's not supposed to work that way, according to the phone's user manual/Samsung technical support instruction. It's actually really pissed me off because I've triggered this instant reset twice now by accident just by having the phone in my back pocket and sitting down. I go to pick up my phone from my pocket and notice the screen is on and then discover everything was wiped. Very annoying! I called Samsung customer support twice to try to explain that I believe there to be a firmware error present (at least on Verizon models) but they didn't seem to care/their support script told them to have me take the device to some local authorized third-party screen repair place. One good outcome I've discovered from factory resetting the phone is that you can at least avoid enrolling the phone in part of the Knox security crap, the "kme" protection. I originally couldn't use remote apps like TeamViewer or AnyDesk without some stupid "Protected by Knox" notification popping up and then my remote app instantly exiting. Made me so angry. But now I'm able to use those apps without any issue. Though, the phone does try to have me agree to enroll in kme protection or whatever about once a day and I have to manually close the enrollment agreement form that pops up.

I've had the same issue with entire A series. All OEM's are disabled regardless of carrier. It seems to be part of Samsung's firmware. After nothing but dead ends and contacting samsung directly i was left scratching my head. Came here searching for some insights I may have overlooked.
-Enable developer options
-Enable wifi
-Join a network
-Change date to 10 days forward
-Reboot phone
-OEM unlock will be available
Thank me later

you cant root without exploits that dknt exist without unlocking the bootloader
No matter about root. but I converted many of Samsung A10e to international variant to remove any boost metropcs or any other networks bloatware application.
you can also do it without any issue. Simply flash A102U1 Firmware. I m not sure that it will work on Network Locked/Sim locked devices. I flash and convert it after using a remote unlocking service which already changed the CSC version of EFS to XAA from the BST csc...
XAA is for US Unlocked Without carrier locked phones and BST for Boost mobile carrier only which came with lots of boost bloatwares but maybe that A10e boost remote unlock service saved me.
check the screenshot attached.
