Does anyone know any of the dialer codes to check if my phone is network locked? I've tried the one that works in all other vibrant roms *#7465625#
This doesnt appear to work on cm7. Basically I used galaxy s unlock to unlock my phone and I am trying to find out if I was successful. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. Is it even possible to unlock your phone on cm7?
How many attempts are you allowed
Can I find this on my phone
If at max can I reset
My phone is rooted and I ran unlock app the code wouldn't unlock phone
Do I use unfreeze code then try unlock code again
Any help would be much appreciated
Have trolled through the forums point me to a link
Cheers
If you are rooted, use Galaxy_S Unlock from the market.
[root] SGS2 SIM unlock code finder
Or you can use Chainfire's unlock code apk.
I have and the code won't unlock from O2
That is why I'm asking if you only get so many chances

Just a noob who's trying to understand as much as possible before actually doing anything to their new toy.
Reading other threads on this subject suggests that NONE of the routes to unlock documented on this forum (whether via an app or manually using odia's method) will work UNLESS you have hardware version 1.2.
You can find your hardware version by typing *#2222# into the dialler.
My phone is H/W version 1.4 - does this mean there's no way I can unlock it right now without buying an unlock code off the carrier?
Any way to check this on the phone and can it be reset to zero?

I'm curious to know what hardware version you have. Just type *#2222# into the dialler & report back what you see on the screen.
READ FTA HW VERSION
FTA HW VERSION : REV1.4
Hope this helps
Ive also given phone to a "SHOP" to have it unlocked
they couldn't get it unlocked either - this was going to be at a cost £20 - obviously i didnt have to pay
So im pretty sure that more than 3 attempts have been made to unlock phone - all i want to know is can you reset the "attempt counter"

There'll be an unfreeze code you can enter for that but if the methods used here can't find the unlock code, then they almost certainly can't find the unfreeze code either. For H/W v. 1.4, I believe Samsung have salted the encryption of the unlock & unfreeze codes stored in nv_data.bin, so any attempt at unlock based on odia's method will fail.
Hopefully one of the more experienced members will come along soon and help us noob's out, even if it's only to confirm that there's no way of unlocking our phones without paying the carrier for the code.
Phone unlocked :- ran app got unfreeze code put that in shut down phone removed battery(dont think this is necessary) restarted phone then put in unlock code SUCCESS phone now unlocked and all appears to be well.
Just going to thank author of post
MODS ok to close Thread I'm sorted

This worked for me too and I had tried every other method going. my phone was locked to orange and was rev 1.4
I also have HW 1.4.
But I'm not confidence with Helroz method.
I've heard that is different from IMEI method, and I prefer to do it like "buying imei unlock method"
So, is there any option to get unlock code for HW 1.4 ? May be unfreze also ?
I will put manually when the SGS2 asks for it.

I got a new Samsung Galaxy SII from Bell Mobility (SGH-i757m). I need to unlock it but nothing seems to work. I have rooted it and tried every app that claims to be able to unlock it, but nothing works!
I have tried to locate the NV_Data.bin file but can't find it anywhere in the phone!
If anyone could tell me how to unlock this phone or how to locate the NV_Data.bin it would be great!
Thanks

HI
lets see if anyone can sort this
I have a rooted s2 i9100( on o2 carrier) I have tried both the popular root apps chainfire and helroz to sim unlock but both fail.

when I put in a friends sim it asks for unlock code I cant retry helroz as the efs file already exists etc

any ideas

Have you tried the Spocky one ? It's called GalaxSim Unlock
It worked for my rooted Samasung Galaxy S2 i9100, I installed BusyBox and then Unlocked it with the GalaxSim Unlock, the phone rebooted automatically and voila !! An unlocked device
The two apps are in Google Play and they're free
Hope this helps, and good luck
Thanks for trying but I have tried the 2 apps off play any other thoughts
Update?
Did you ever manage to unlock the device?
Hi
I have an I717m (Bell) that I want to unlock.
I first found a link on how to freely unlock it using a modem from another phone... didn't work (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124544)
I then bought an unlock from unlockphonenetwork.com... worked like a charm... but I forgot to reflash the note original modem, after flashing the correct modem I lost my unlock and every time I try the unlock code I have the error "Network Unlock Request Unsuccessful"...
I'm stuck here, tried going through the debug service menu the undo the change I made trying the free unlock without success...
How can I reset(re-init) the radio setting? (EFS clear in Odin)?
Anyone can give some cues or advices on what to do next?
Thanks.
Oups can you put this question in QA?
