Hey guys!
Im new here, this is my first post.
My name is Daniel, 24 years old, from Ireland.
As iv heard, you, from XDA are the God's of Android phones..
I have 2x Galaxy SII . Im in love with them. As i said, I live in Ireland but I will go for a vacation for a couple of weeks and on roaming, im gonna die.
So i started to read about unlocking .. tried some ways, but on some of them either the busybox was unsuccessfully installed, or superuser has errors..
Both phones are bought last year, stock version of android on them..
Please help me to unlock the phones.. step by step, cause i have no idea what and how to do.
I appreciate, guys!

Sorry, i mentioned about root cause i know that application on google play that does unlocking.. but the fone has to be rooted + superuser + busybox .
I am interested in unlock .. thats all i need.. Thank you!
P.S. Vodafone 858 (this is not my phone, a friend owns it) , has a user password on it.Right after the phone starts, that password field pops up and the phone is useless. Iv tried to connect it in Odin in Download mode, but the phone is not detected what can I do?
Thanks guys!

Hi new to forums but big big fan. I have seen the problem i face posted on many forums including xda but not with sufficient information. So here goes.
My partner bought a galaxy ace from virgin here in UK, it came with 2.3.3 pre installed after 3 days texts stop sending with 3g on but still be received. But when wifi is on or packet data or 3g turned off texts send. Now my partner had problems with germ previous phone abduction doesn't want to root in fear of needing tech help in future, now we can find a temp fix using automateit but not ideal for her. I will also note my sister got one on 3 and the problem hasn't occurred. Any other ace owners got this / fixed it without root and new Rom? Virgin CS is useless so not had any help from them. As i said i know this subject has risen before but just needed help as virgin will NOT reduce bill even though Im sure its their problem.
Any help / ideas?

I haad the same problem on one of my SGA', However it is on Orange and i had the exact same problem, this exact problem didnt start untill 2-3 days after purchase. I found NO fix for this..1 week later i flashed to 2.3.3 KP7 not the original pre-installed stock rom..Ever since flashing the problem has not reoccured.
I hope this may point you into the right direction,
Ste.
i got her to give in and let me root, and install official 2.3.4 on it using odin, but problem still there, so what install a earlier non network rom to fix? i thought the official 2.3.4 was non network specific?
Glad she gave into let you root her sga, thous im sure she wouldnt have notice it if you dont it without her knowing
Anyways back on topic,
I advise you to Flash (USING ODIN) to S5830XWKPW, CSC - S5830OXXKPC. This should rectify your issue
You can obtain it from samfirmware . com
Ste
ok nice, but im a little confused about this, with my hero all data had to be deleted before flashing, but with galaxy ace you dont?

Hi
So I bought an International i9300 back in the summer and i've been using it Fido (Canada - doesnt support LTE yet)
and i rooted it somehow...dont know how and dont know why lol... and succeeded for whatever its worth... :good:
the last "COUPLE" of months,ive been getting these system update pop ups on my screen ALL the time!!
i've even tried to let my phone update itself but ,im guessing because of my root ,it makes my phone crash half way and forces me to reboot...
Btw,can my root be too old or is it,once its been done its done no matter how long ago you rooted?
anyways long story short,i desperately need to update my rom! the system update pop ups are super annoying and my phone is running on super old 4.0.4 :crying: and the battery SUUUUCKKKKS!!! anyways, im guessing i need a specific rom for an international i9300 running on FIDO? CAN ANYBODY HELP???!!!! IM DESPERATE!! LOL btw i might of been able to root it through ODIN at one point but don't be fooled i suck at these android things yet with a little help (hopefully) i might be able to fix this issue!
I attached a pic of my current situation...hope it help...
Hi,
You can update your rom following the instructions of this topic from "Intratech": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
Just follow the instructions, it is pretty simple.
I go to sammobile to get my stock roms (http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/)
On the Intratech topic, you have anything you need to update your device.
Cheers

Galaxy S2 i9100 wont reboot after rooting
Hi There,
I have exactly the same problem. I did try to root and followed the instructions given in galaxys2root dot com.
Followed the link "ww.galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-i9100-icsandroid-4-0/" . ( One 'W' is intentionally missing in the referred link as a spoof. I am a new user with less than 10 posts so I am not allowed to paste a working link. Sorry) I went through the video first and followed all instructions threadbare.
Odin returned a green success message too. but the phone would not wake up beyond the Samsung Boot logo for S2. I was on ICS version 4.0.X prior to the ilflated root and my phone version is GT-I9100G.
You must excuse me, I did not note down my previous baseband version and similar other details in the about phone. I bought the phone from a Hongkong based ebay vendor and I live in Australia.
I am hoping i have not lost completely my phone and data. I have written too that web site too. Could you please help as soon as possible. I am without a phone.
thanks heaps in advance,

I really hope someone can help. I have been reading XDA for a few years and had 1 thread and always read before asking. I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 from Amazon. I never had any problems with there service. I am from the US and am overseas for the next year. I had someone bring the phone to me. I decided to root my phone thinking it was an i9300 because that whats written on the back and also what it said inside the phone (settings-about phone).
GT-I9300
Android v 4.1.1
Firmware Build ID JRO03L
Firmware Build PDA I9300ZSEMC
Firmware Region TGY
When I first plugged in the usb to my laptop I noticed that it was trying to install T999 drivers I was confused for a moment until it installed I9300 drivers. I then used CF-auto root , which to my surprise didn't work. So I tried Cf auto Root for T999 and again I was surprised...it worked. I then installed a app called CPU-identifier from google play store. I started it up and again to my surprise it said that my phone had S4 snapdragon 1.5 dual core, 2GB RAM inside - this was 3 days ago. Last night I had the S3 plugged in and was pasting Hyperdrive Rom to my SD card and I was about to flash. I rebooted my phone to TWRP 2.5( I had installed that one ) I was in and out of there multiple time for the past few days with no FC's. My phone just cut off... I retried to boot it and nothing. Tried download mode(volume down,menu and power) tried recovery (volume up, menu and power). When I plug it in without battery the red light comes on for a couple of minutes. Also when I plug it to my laptop it makes the reading noise but does not actually read anything. I tried reinstalling the drivers a few times.
I just don't understand why and also I can't figure out why it says it is an i9300 but has the S4 snapdragon processor. By the way even An-Tu-Tu say that it has S4 snapdragon inside. My 2 questions are 1) Is it possible to fix this? 2) Is it possible to have an I9300 with the S4 processor inside? Being that I'm 8000 miles from America I have no way of taking it back. Any help would be appreciated. I've also read about "sudden death" is this a possibility? Sorry for the long thread, just wanted to give all information.

By the description you are giving that ur s3 has a snapdragon s4 processor ,a 2 gb ram it has to be a north american version(as u specified T999) because the int s3(i9300) has an 1.4ghz quad core processor with 1gb of ram so basically you cannot have an i9300 with a snapdragon s4 processor. i think it is the software as u say it shows i9300 in the settings but the CF-Auto root worked for T999. This is a very strange case! But if it is the hardware then u definitely cannot fix it (That is you cannot change the processor or the ram).But anyways it has to be the software ...ill try finding for similar cases and then leave some links for u to check .

Thanks for your quick response and any help would be great. I forgot to mention that in both cases where I tried to boot into download mode and recovery didn't work. I now think my phone may be bricked because when i plug it into PC it tries to install (QHSUSB_DLOAD). I googled it and they stated that when it does this it is bricked. I have no way to send to America to fix it. I just don't understand how that it is possible to get European phone with SGH T999 hardware-software.... very strange.
Another thing...if I can get odin to recognize it which firmware do I install, I9300 or T999? I believe that I need T999 because both An-Tu-Tu and CPU Identifier Id both came back with Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 Adreno 225. Thank for your time
Another quick question if I just successfully unbricked my fully bricked phone using debicked SGH t999 img file does that mean my firmware should be t999? Look at the following screen shots 2 were taken before the brick and 2 were taken a few minutes age. Any other answers for the confused Galaxy I own? Is this a normal thing a European I9300 with a T999 hardware and I9300 software? Someone please explain what to do now in Odin. Do I need to flash what my setting say? And if I do flash for I9300 won't it brick because of the CPU being Qualcomm Snapdragon S4? HELP ME! This has been driving me nuts....

If you can help I would love it if you can answer my question about what hardware to use now. Sense this thead I unbricked my phone. I hope you can help

You asked what a pull out aerial is. The picture shows what a pull out aerial is. Ask a question, get an answer. That's how it works. Don't start getting cheeky now.
You have NOT got an i9300 as your hardware differs, ergo we cannot help.

put me on you ignore list ...you didn't help anyway. All you had to say was yes use the I9300 firmware or yes use the T999 firmware. Instead you wasted around 60 words and didn't help at all.

Jje wanted to give you the answer "it's not an i9300, its xxxxxxx" but as he didn't get an answer about the aerial, he gave up on getting you the full answer. So it's been left as a half answer.

I'm facing the same problem i.e. settings>about device> says GT-I9300 while I go into download mode it says SGH-T999. All I want to confirm now is this:-
1) Can I root it using methods mentioned in xda forums of Galaxy S3 T-mobile i.e. here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-t-mobile ?
2)Can I install this ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2176768 ?
EDIT : I rooted the phone using link 1, Now should I go for the roms mentioned in T-mobile S3 forum? Should I install the modem also?
