1st you need to root it ! go on "original android development" find the tutorial for rooting and do it
after you root you can go to android market and search for unlock sgs2 or just type "chainfire" and you gona see the application to unlock you phones for all networks
my android version is 2.3.5 will this still work?

Not sure how to unlock SGS2, it already has ICS, could anybody advise ? Thanks
Are we talking sim unlock? If so search market for sim unlock and use the chinfire or helroz ones.
I had no luck with chainfires but the helroz one worked perfectly.
Mine was locked to orange.

I believe device needs to be rooted first ? And yes - i need sim unlock
yes both those apps need root, but should defo do the sim unlock for you. worked for me

It worked ! chainfire's failed but helroz did the job
and of course in this case you lose your warranty, right?

I'd say most of things we talking in this forum would affect the warranty

[Q] GT-I9300 - how to unlock bootloader

Hello All,
i have the GT-I9300 Europe version, rooted, JB 4.1.1
i would be happy to know how to unlock the device boot-loader since i didn't find any good or useful guide
i even heard that the Samsung have already an unlocked boot-loader - i don't think it's true.
Thank you very much.
S3 Bootloaders are unlocked cept the Verizon US Variant (which an unlock is available)

Hi,
Thanks for the answer.
if so, how can i check if my boot loader is indeed unlock?
Since early 2011 Samsung has only had unlocked bootloaders with the exception when a provider demanded it (like Verizon).
So yours is UNLOCKED.

OK thanks, but must be a way to check it, right?
i want to learn you know...
If its locked you can neither flash root nor a custom rom .
But it does not apply SGS3 I9300 has never been locked .

1) The bootloader is not locked. Your post is based on rubbish and could potentially brick an international s3. Please only post things you understand, not dangerous nonsense like this.
2) "dis" and "ur" are not proper words. The language of this forum is English and you have a responsibility to use real words. Sure, you may use less-than-perfect grammar and punctuation but at least try to spell words properly if you want to be taken seriously*
*also depends on 1).

That thread shows how to install a new kernel on the device, which is great. But does that mean it is also unlocked (besides rooted)?
Thanks

Nope, there used to be an app to unlock it, downloaded it from google play store, but I think you can only find it here at xda developers now.
I think you need to Odin the i777 firmware to it before you can use the app to unlock.

Do you have your previous backup? You completely wiped the phone or? No EFS backup?
As anlini suggested GalaxSIM Unlock should unblock it and also make a backup of needed files, but should prevent the need of similar situations (unblocking should survive on flash/wipe/etc).

Flashing 5.0 FTF on locked BL and network LOCKED

Hello guys i have big troubles with my sony M4. I wanted to root the phone buy of course first i have to unlock the bootloader because it is on 6.0. But then i got Bootloader Unlock allowed: NO. So i tought if i change the firmware using flashtool to 5.0 i can root it using some of the premade rootkits for 5.0 and M4 but i have another problem. The phone is locked by T-mobile and they won't unlock it unless 2 years pass which is for 6 months from now, so if i install another firmware like the commercial 5.0 i think the network will not work right ? So guys do you have any other ideas how can i unlock the bootloader if the status is NO and also keep it locked within the network ? Thanks in advance.
