Unlocking - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

In a few weeks I will travel to Europe and I would like to know more about unlocking.
I tried to unlock my phone using galaxy s unlock but I'm not sure if it worked. How can I be sure I am unlocked?
By the way I am rooted.
Thanks for everyone's help.

Do you have a old sim card form another carrier. If so just insert it and see if it functions.

You should try galaxy sII unlock. It works fine.

No I don't

just dial *#7465625# in the dialer and all 4 options should say unlocked.
** if the Network lock is still locked, then whatever process you used didn't work.

It says connection problem or invalid MMI code. Did you type it correctly?

I just did it on mine to double check. There's a window that pops up that says
Peronalizatiob status (actually a typo in the programing)
Then the first item says Network Lock, and underneath says [OFF]
make sure you typed it in correctly, otherwise there are other problems. not sure where to go from here if that doesn't work. no offense, but just to make sure, you have the i777 or the i727? some people with other phones sometimes mistakenly come here.

I tried again and I got he same error. I am using an I777.
This is weird....

Are you running the stock Gingerbread system that came on the phone? I have heard of some codes like this one not working with ROMs like MIUI, etc.
If you're just rooted with the stock Gingerbread, I'm not really of any help in this matter, sorry to say. But I am sure some of the people on here would know what to do. Good developers here.

Should I just try to unlock again or would this cause issues?
What's the easiest way to unlock?

If it didn't work the first time, it won't work if you keep trying.
It would probably work if you flashed back to stock gingerbread, then ran GalaxySII unlock from the play store. Not sure if you want to do that, but I've heard from other people that it's tough to unlock it unless you are on a stock ROM or a custom ROM that is based on stock. I think Foxhound ROM is an AOKP/AOSP rom. I don't know enough about that type of rom to know if it that is the problem though. But I'd bet it was.

Alright. I really didn't want to reflash, but I appreciate your help. Thanks for letting me know.
Btw if anyone knows of an easier way please let me know. Thanks

Or you could download the completely free unlock APP from the play store. Either way.

Customized pull down thingy w/pic

For those of you not using the SOUROM in the dev section, I thought you might like to see how you can customize the pull down notification bar using the "deluxe settings". My home screen now is completely un-cluttered! Tons of other cool settings too!

I really drink way to much water everyday will the mod's still work for me??
Just playing I love the settings. I dont have as many as you have up but it is nice to be able to put some extra ones up.
Looks good.
Have you finished your water yet?
um, deluxe settings? I am rooted NO CWR YET....how do i do this?
You will need CWR to flash Sourom. Deluxe Settings is built into that ROM. Instructions are in the dev thread related to that ROM.
P.s.
Still working on coffee, will (hopefully) get to water soon!

OH...well the first post says...for those of you NOT using SAUROM....
EDIT: Your OP needs changing then.......the way it is worded is if you are NOT running SAUROM then you can do this...I guess your NOT is supposed to be NOW?
Good lord, his point is if you're using the SAROM ROM you already know about this, if you're not, then you would not be aware of it and he wanted to show what it has available.
English. It's not hard.

Was sort of confusing though
But i looked at sarom, looks like theres still some bugs, esp with the LTE speeds
Guess its impossible to pop out just the deluxe settings huh?
If someone felt like messing with framework and .jar thingy it could probably be done to stock rom.

Waste of 20 minutes IMO. Facebook acts all wonky, hardly notice a difference and my battery life was done for in 6 hours, which for me was like WTF! I always get at least 8 using the phone a lot.
Also not sure what is so special about Apex launcher. Maybe someone can edumacate me on that.
Dropped a call as well, which I never had happen on GB.
Overall most works fine, just not seeing what all the hype was about. Only thing I like is swyping away previous pages.....

It will and it should. Not sure about the problems you've run into, but I've never had the issues you mentioned. Maybe try reflashing?
Can I reflash GB? I guess this is as good a time to root .....again. I am rusty, look forward to a PM, LOL!
Don't worry I will search, search and search 1st.....

Screen recording?

So apparently we got screwed out of the Screen Recording feature ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j-oTLGPUEY ), there's an app on the market called "ScreenRecorder", I keep getting "Fatal Error!" has anyone been able to get it to work?
What is up with Verizon taking so many useful applications that came with the phone off it? Bet there was a problem with their bloatware and the apps. Even then keep the apps and fictions and lose the bloat!

Wow wtf that seems really cool do you think CleanROM has this? Its based on the international version so it has things that Verizon removed

Just like call recording....it's still there we just have to figure out how to enable it. Probably a features tweak

Maybe we should mention it in Beans thread to see if he can get it to work. Maybe Scott knows how to get it to work since his is from the international base. I'll have to see later when they're awake

Alright I'm going to decompile the framework, library and apk and look for the csc hook.
Anyone else wanna look the files are
Screenrecorder.apk
Secmediarecorder.jar

All files are here we just need to enable the CsC feature

Looks like everybody has given up on getting the screen recorder functionality back. Does anybody have it working? I know there are apps but I would rather be able to use the one that was built-in. Would appreciate any updates.

I second that, I'm so sick of all the cool features of this phone that were denied to us! That's the number 1 reason I rooted.

What ROM is this? Mine doesn't have screenrecorder.apk
Pretty sure i heard this feature was not released because of legal problems being that you could record netflix movies and stuff like that
If you read the youtube comments, NOBODY has it working on any stock rom. Not even international versions.
Stupid Verizon!!!
Oh wait
Screencast works great for me. And was definitely worth the money. .

So you get the first screen but when you choose APN type you can't type in anything?
What network are you using? An app called Tweakker from the Play Store might help you.

See on APN's file if Your operator is there. It is on /etc/apns-conf.xml
The APN's are classified by operator number. This is MCC-MNC 23415 on screenshot example.
Do you have the sim you want to use already inserted in the phone when you go to edit the apn?

4G constantly stops working and only works again with airplane mode toggle

I'm in Baltimore, MD and already on my gs4 i had this problem where sometimes my 4G will stop working and on the data activity indicator arrows only the up arrow will be on (like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
)
And the only way i get it working again is toggling airplane mode... This happens every 20 min or so, and it is extremely annoying.
Is anyone familiar with this problem? And is there anything i can do?

If i had it on my s4 and you have 3 different phones all with the same problem it's probably t mobile, and like the previous commenter said, the nexus 5 also had this problem
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
I have this too, here i thought i was deleting too much bloat from the system. But apparently not. IMO, i think its Android 4.4.2 and T-Mobile. I had this issue happen on all 4.4.2 ROMs even on my S4. It didn't happen until i flashed the 4.4.2 ROMs. So I think T-Mobile may have made a mistake in their coding when making the update. Lets see what the next update will bring. I wonder how we could even bring up this issue to them because i guarantee you they will claim its the device.
Don't remember because i have been on 4.4.2 forever, and i can't check because theres no other option besides for buggy aosp, but there have been a few updates within 4.4.2 like NF6 which added VoLTE...
Btw if this is a common problem something should be done... This really f*king sucks
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
Its definitely T-Mobile. A T-Mobile rep told me the issue might be LTE, and to try turning it to 4G only, seemed to help me.
