Hi Guys, I know this isn't the right location for this thread, haven't got high enough post count.
I have a Voda Au branded sgs2 with kernal version DUKF2. Tried to unlock with Odia's method, Chainfire app, even spent a few (wasted) bucks on the 123unlock app.
And as expected Voda is dragging their feet to supply a sim unlock code.
Also, my nv_data.bin looks different from some of the others posted in Odia's thread...yes i rooted the phone and got it from /efs/nv_data.bin, copied to sdcrad ..etc.
Is it possible sammy have caught on and changed something?
Any help appreciated. Cheers.
Weird that voda simlocked, my Optus one arrived completely open. I'm sure you've confirmed it's locked before spending any time on this but what does the following code give you for the 4 lock values?:
*#7465625#
Help!
Hey I also have a vodafone sg2... can you help me root it? I understand the procoss but unsure on the firmware to use... any help? Mine is KF2 however its a model I9100T... does it matter can someone give me some help?
I think that Voda are just mean pricks. The Network lock is on and the other 3 (sub, SP, CP) are off.
Unrealtb, I used the latest CF_Root - V4.0 firmware, rooted it, the restored the original DUKF2.
sg2 rooting
sorry to hassle, can you give me the link to the firmware u flashed and where the original one is to reflash (to get the Yellow ! off).

also, do you know the password for this file?
Cheers mate!
that's the one i used.

Cool just rooted my phone!! thanks mate, much appreciated
No worries.
I think I've worked out my problem...
New Hardware Version - MP 1.300
New Radio Version - SP6260_U1_01.1121_DB110525
New Unlock Method
Now just need to wait for a solution.
I just rooted mine now and lashed Villain Rom. Running the SGS2simunlock app now see what it returns. Will let you know results, mine is also from Voda
Hrm... I wonder if it's not working because you possibly have the GT-I9100T and most of the unlocking work was done on the I9100? I remember reading Intra was quite shocked at how much larger the stock firmware for voda was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14838150&postcount=6. Still not entirely sure of what the difference is.
So it seems no unlock code found! i believe Voda's was bigger because they had like 7-8 extra apps installed, plus Voda's came with Navigon preinstalled
I believe Odia is working on a solution.

We should have a better idea once Telstra release theirs.
Weird thing though, *#2222# shows HW version 1.2, but looking at the .bin file it shows 1.3
Hey sorry for the newb question, what are you trying to are you trying to use the phone ok n other networks? unlock?
Have you tried http://vodafone.com.au/unlock
Thought it's free to unlock vodafone?
No I do not have this handset but thinking about it and going to vodafone, but if it's locked and there's no solution yet, I'll just wait awhile
If people want this done faster, I am currently assisting Odia in getting the new hax.
Please read this post and send me your files.

Similar Issue
I have a similar problem so I thought to post here.
I have a I5500L.
It came with this firmware out of the box I5500LUYJP9 (2.2) it was locked to Movistar (Venezuela).
I unlocked it with SRS to use it with my carrier (Digitel Venezuela).
No matter what I try, I cannot make it work with 3G, only EDGE.
I've tried many things, changing bands, forcing WCDMA, and a lot of tricks found on this and other forums, but nothing works.
It's not that it doesn't work with 3G and goes to EDGE, but that te phone is only working on basic GSM, and cannot connect to the network if I change any setting.
Funny thing is my wife has an I5500 (without the L), it was bought unlocked, it came with some European Firmware, and hers works perfectly with 3G.
She has the same carrier as me.
Another thing to note is, my phone detects a network called "Digitel", her phone detects a network called "DIGITEL-GSM".
¿What could be the problem?
¿Could I flash some European firmware to my phone to make this work?
¿Will this affect the SIM unlock?
Thanks.

What are the implications or possible sideffects of changing the baseband?
I mean if a baseband won't work, there should be another one that does right?
I'll be doing some reading, but a head's up wouldn't hurt.

there no danger in changing basebands, the only thing is, some will, and some wont work. you should just try the baseband from wherever you are 1st, but if that doesnt work, try another. doesnt matter if you are from UK and you use an american baseband, if it works, its completely fine
has it worked?

I sold the phone resolved the problem.

Hello, the thing is that I have a Motorola Atrix 4G from Claro, Nicaragua with Froyo. Claro doesn't have released the official GB update. So I was wondering, is there any other way to update to GB? The phone is locked, I just can used with Claro network, and I don't want to pay to unlock it. Will a custom rom totally lock the phone?
Thank you!
Generally It shoud not .
update
Hi there, i agree the update should not simlock your phone to a specific network again, i have a Desire Hd that was originally on the Orange uk network, i currently use the vodafone uk network and have a had at least 12 different custom roms each having completely wiped the phone before install. hope this helps.
I was wandering if it is possible to enable all lte bands in M4, especifically in E2303 for south america?? Does this Phone and the other models have the same hardware?? Can I install an E2363 firmware to try o does the Phone bricks??
Thanks everybody!!! (im new in this world, dont be mad )

Sorry to tell you I havent. Same say you can brick the Phone by installing another firmware others says that nothing will happen because the hardware is different meaning this Phone cant recieve the bands that is not suppose to. I dont know. I've read other sites seraching for a solution to this problem with no luck. I guess we have to wait till a custom rom that works.
The model you buy works best in the region it's bought in. Some networks will cross-over when in a different continent, but not all, usually. You can't add frequencies to the phone whenever you want, as far as I know.
I have installed a e2303 software on a e2306 phone and it works fine, but still has the e2306 bands.
Maybe in the future there is a way...
Hi. I want to flash a Brazilian firmware (dual SIM) into my US hardware (single SIM). Both are Snapdragon. Reason is that I want to use the Brazilian Samsung Pay. Bough the phone in the US but I live in Brazil.
Can I flash THIS ROM without problems? Will it trigger Knox? Any loss in functionality?
Thank you all.

not possible. also, is there not a CSC for your area you can flash instead?
I don't know why these guys say it's not possible, maybe it isn't with your model. I also don't want to give you any bad ideas or anything, so use your own discretion & research.
My phone was unusable when I did this, so I had nothing to lose when I did this (It worked though).
I easily flashed my canadian note 8 with a us firmware using modified odin (must be same version bootloader).
It has warranty status 0x0 (aka, Knox is NOT tripped).
AGAIN, I'm not advising you try this with your model, unless you know what you're doing. I just want to make the information available to you.
Edit: I'm just waiting for someone to upload snapdragon beta 3 one ui 2.0. I'm going to try the same method to convert my Canadian s9+ to USA version.
Edit 2: I can confirm this method works on my Canadian s9+ aswell.

Yeah I don't think it'll work on mine, since it's a single sim phone, and the ROM I wanted was for a dual sim version. Unless of course the hardware is the same and the second SIM slot is present. I could try, but I don't want to risk it. Maybe later when Sammy stops updating the phone.

Unfortunately not. The SM-G965U1 is the US unlocked version. There are only CSCs for American carriers.

if its truly unlocked, then you should already have the U1 firmware on it. Get modded Odin and the U1 firmware, flash it in Odin and go from there. I never looked back after ditching the carrier junk on my phone
Sometime ago I did somethinh like that on my Arabian S7 Edge that I bough in Paraguai, it was Dual Sim model and i flashed ZTO CSC via Odin, and the phone was working well, but i'm not sure if the reverse works, and even the models were similar (F vs FD version) in your case u have 965U vs 9650, I would not take that risk, i thing that a korean or chinese model is 9650 too
look at this picture, US version has more bands so the modem could be different, you can try but you're risking your phone

yep, they are different phones that just so happen to use the same processor. Different bootloader, same chassis for whatever reason. Anyways, there have been threads talking about converting the 9650 to a 965u, but ive never seen anyone confirming that it indeed works. Big risk, but as long as one can get back to Odin mode, one should be good.
