Not finding reliable infor on this anywhere. I need to do a SIM unlock on my S2. AT$T says "the manufacturer provides this code", and the manufacturer says that "AT$T provide this code". I say, I'll get what I need from XDA, the only reliable source of info. How do I SIM unlock this damn phone?
moderators will tell you to do more searching next time. This was easy to find.

Hi, i want to sim unlock my phone, but if i do that i am losing Warranty, so is there some app to lock my phone again for the same mobile operator (in my case mts telekom Serbia). thanks
The app mentioned in that tutorial backs it all up for later restore if needed.

I believe if you're with them (AT&T) for more than 6 months, you can ask them for the unlock code (say, for travelling aboard)
Please delete this thread. The unlock thread was on the first Page ffs

You can get the Unlock code from service provider.But service provider ask to wait for some days they will not give the Unlock code very soon.You can better get the unlock code from Mobileunlocksolutions.com and unlock it from network lock.After Unlock it use with any GSM Network Sim card.

Or you can actually take 2 minutes of your time and search and get it all done with an app that's right under your nose in the market.

It amazes me some people still don't know about this. But I guess its not the norm? I know I had to call AT&T to get my Atrix unlocked free.

Well this phone is a bit different then most (like our Recovery being part of the actual kernel) so perhaps other phones don't have a simple software unlock and you HAVE to get the code from ATT. I know my old Moto Backflip didn't have a software option.

I tried Chanfire's Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock but it didn't work . Which did you use please? And do you reckon it'll work for GT-I9100??
unlock samsung s2 S959G/I777
sorry if i am posting in the wrong place but i was playing around with the debug menu on a network locked S959G and now i have full unlocked S959G pm me for details...... didn't need galaxy sim unlock apk after that
Hello everyone,
Last night we updated an s2 to the original ics, using the ota.all went well during the presidure, but later we found out that it can't receive calls, or make any calls, and it cannot register to the network.The Sim is greek, and the phone was never flashed with room in the past, everything was original from Samsung.
Amy ideas?
But it does ask for pin code and reads the sim card?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
No pin, doesn't ask for it.nor locs the screen.
I looked in apn and there is nothing there.
So it doesn't recognize sim card?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I guess not.
But we have replaced it with a brand new card,same number and network.
And is the new card working?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Have you tried to input a new APN? You can get the specific APN for your carrier with an internet search or a phone call to your carrier.
The new is not working either.i tried the apns ,i have the same carrier.But it is not able to save them.
The phone is working fine when i put my own sim in it.
Go to about phone and see if your imei is empty. If it is empty then your efs got corrupt and I guess ypu don't have backup of it. If you do have a backup then restore it. Otherwise I hope you still have warranty left as your going to need it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Imei is there,checked it with both cards
So, after searching alot,i have found out, that if i disable pin it all works fine.But the screen doesn't lock, and i can't use pin.As soon as i enable pin again then no more calls.
Any ideas?
Search for keystr.

Hmm.. that should have definitely worked. Did you press the send button/call button?
Another way you can check is by putting another sim card in and if its locked it will tell you.

Never used voodoo sim unlock and its not working for me either. Though the ROM I'm on has a tab to check easily but all the same... the dialer code isn't working
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I dont have to use voodoo sim unlock because i bought mine full price from Samsung,unbranded but i would still like to be able to use dialer codes... Basically their latest updates reverse the unlock process by resetting the hex in the NV_data.bin every hour :/ but mine is permanently unlocked by Samsung! :happy:

try installing the omega 12 rom, as it has sim unlocking built in
The *#7465625# does not work on the Galaxy S3 anymore. That was the case for me and for everyone reporting here. I was able to get the same screen ans figure out my S3 was locked by using the app "SGS Secret Codes", which is available on the Play Store.
Does anyone know a way of figuring out which particular network the device is locked to? I just bought an S3 which was supposed to be unclocked bu it is not, and to unlock it I need to know which carrier it is locked to.
hello my galaxy s3 has got a big problem..everything works except data!!i can't make any calls, can't go to internet( wifi works)..what can i do???i got to use like an ipod...lol
One what have you done .
this question lacks any detail .
Two is your IMEI correct .
Three is your sim working#
Four have you checked your network settings
Five have you the correct modem.
Six try a factory reset .
Seven return to service .

I don't know if you tried to pull out the simcard and clean the contacts. This was a common issue on the HTC Desire HD and this little fix worked fine.

Updated to Jelly Bean??
if yes go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601
Is the phone new? Has it ever worked for you? Have you considered the fact that it could be network locked(SIM locked)?
My phone ALWAYS shows "Not registered on Network" when I'm at home, that's because signal is terrible since I updated to JB (modem related).
Have you tried different SIMs from different networks? Have you tried your current SIM in a different phone?
[the phone is from 29 june..always worked bit one day data stopped working.. i got a HTC sensation and the SIM works fine in that phone/SIZE]

Ok,
so here comes the question my girlfriend always asks me :laugh:
"What did you do between it working, and it no longer working?"
You say data doesn't work, does that mean you can make phone calls?
I didnt do anything it just stopped working and i cant do phone calls...its like using an iPod.. maybe someone blocked my imei?could it be possible?

Yes, it's entirely possible, but you'll need to check with your provider. There is no way of checking from the device itself if the IMEI has been blocked.
Did you buy the phone new?
You could, potentially, be extremely unlucky and someone blocked the wrong IMEI code when attempting to block their own.
Ye it was new..there is no way to make it work then?

Well, if it really has been blocked, you should get in touch with your provider, and potentially have to go through some lengthy process of proving to them you legitimately own the device and didn't block it yourself. It's unlikely though, as I've never heard of a device being removed from the block list before.
Your other option is to leave the country, it will work in another country
Failing that, return it to Samsung telling them it just stopping working, you did nothing, and insist they replace it.
Probably wrong Kernel, happened often to me on my old sensation

What network are you on? I had to go to t mobile web site to get configuration settings sent to phone. All was then ok. You are not providing enough information, Network, whether phone had ever worked, if it has been modified in any way etc.etc.
People here will help you but you really must give as much relevant information as possible

Is there a way to carrier unlock the amaze without calling T-Mobile?
I called T-Mobile and they gave me the code but I put it in wrong and after one failed attempt you can't put it again.
What's weird though is that I went to mexico and inserted a foreign sim card and to my surprise my phone got service.

Hey Eduardo!
Well the best way (easiest) to unlock is to just call T-mobile and say that you're going to some foreign place like Brazil or Ecuador or something. If one rep refuses to unlock you just call again and repeat until someone gives you an unlock code lol. Just tell them you're going out of state and need an unlock code, they will give it to you 9/10 times anyway, so you shouldn't have much trouble.
The OTHER way is to do this. Right now it's in a gray area because of the stupid law banning unlocking (except by carrier), but the Amaze was released before the law came into play so I guess it avoids the law. Good luck!

Also, if you entered the code wrong, it's fine! It will still work anyway. :good:
