Hi.
I bought a T-Mobile handset, but only because it was a bargain and used THIS guide to root and debrand my phone.
Follow it completely if you also want to root, OR, follow it to, and complete Step 5 so you have a generic 016 firmware, then run SEUS which will update you to R2BA026, then run THIS to root with an app should you want to.

After flashing CM 10 unlock is gone

i bought an austrian version of the sgs3 branded by the provider 3" .
the phone was given to me unlocked by an unlock code and had 4.0.4 on it.
then i rooted the phone and did a backup.
via ota i got a message that a new update is available, but it was not able to install it (i think because of the root), although i used the newest cf-root-files CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar.
i wanted to have jelly bean on it and installed the cm 10 but unfortunately the unlock was gone.
please can anyone tell me how to restore it, because i really would like to use cm10 and an unlocked phone.

Hi,
I have galaxy SII GT-I9100.It is a carrier mobile.Carrier is Australia "yes OPTUS' .I got it unlocked from a mobile shop.When i start the Mobile there was ICS Rom with lot of "Optus" applications.Since it is first time i set it to automatic Software update.So it automatically downloaded Jelly bean ROM and installed.But now an Error message comes as "Unfortunately application installer has stopped" also now screen is completely black.I cant do any think now.I tried following thinks to sort this problem
1)Went to recovery mood and Clear an wipe all data.I did this three times.But Still same problem
2)I have downloaded official Carrier(Optus firmware ) http://devsrom4android.blogspot.com/2011/10/samsung-galaxy-s2-firmware-update-optus.htmland installed it via Odin.Then it was worked fine.But again same problem is raised when i set automatic update
How can i sort this problem?
Can i install and android jelly bean ROM which is not a Carrier firmware?
Or can i install any Custom ROM to sort this out?
If used any other software ,do network locked again?
Please help me. to sort this.Thanks for advance.

Forget about the carrier, flash any ROM (remember the 4.0.4 remark).
Galaxysim unlock is the tool to unluck your phone if locked again and it's here at xda for free, it's paid at play store.

Some SIM unlock methods do not survive the upgrade to JB. Not knowing the method, it is impossible to answer.
You can always use Galaxsim unlock (search XDA for free) to unlock the SIM once upgraded. It needs root though, but its free.

I would recommend upgrading to the very latest version for your region, yes. You need to get off ICS ASAP really.
If you're making a big leap to say, 4.1.2 (recommended) then you may be best preparing to do a factory reset. This of course wipes the internal SD card too. So just backup what you can before flashing a ROM. Even though you may not need to reset, it is best practice due to settings incompatabilities.
Then, IF you have become sim locked, you can quickly root using cf-auto root, run GalaxSim unlock and unroot again (using super use app).

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48312984
I mean, my phone is locked on Orange Romania and I want to unlock it, I don't want to clone my IMEI or w/e you gave me...
Unfortunately not like that.
You will need to contact our carrier or pay to have it done.
it's possible if your rooted
How?
