Hi Guys,
I've got a S2 on Tmobile UK and I wish to unlock it to enable me to use other network sims.
Im not entirely sure what to do with all these rom versions and firmware stuff etc ...
I've managed to root my phone via CWM.zip and using the SU-Busybox.zip ... now im not too sure what to do next to sim unlock. I've tried all the sim unlock programs from the market but they dont seem to work.
I dont want to install all these flashy things and wish to keep everything stock if possible.
Currently im using ICS 4.04
PDA : I9100BVLPH
PHONE : I9100BVLPE
CSC: I9100TMULPH
Thanks All!

Galaxy S Unlock - free - dont work
Galaxy sim unlock - this one havent tried needs to pay .... ideally want it done free
This is the one I used when I first got my device and it worked. (Free)
_https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helroz.galaxysunlock&hl=en
This one is newer and more compatible but will cost small fee of about £1.60 to unlock device.

Do these work on the ICS I read they only work for gingerbread ?
would sim unlocking have any effect updating via kies again when Jelly bean gets released ?
Thank you
I was able to get the phone unlocked using the following app.
See the following Link and download the .apk file and install it on your device. But make sure you have rooted phone.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34187077&postcount=685
After you install it then you run it and there is a small gray bar at the bottom you just press that phone unlocked and you restart the device. Everything works fine. It worked for me I hope it works for you as well. Even if u have tried the same app before i suggest you still try the one on that link.

The second one works on GB/ICS/JB. I can confirm it works on JB as I recently used it after installing latest leaked JB sammy rom as that was sim locked.

Unlocking has got nothing to do with updates, firmware does.
If kies sees you're rooted, might play hardball with your device.
Why people keep updating via kies? What if power goes off?
And who waits for branded updates to roll out????????????
I'm kidding, it's your right to do so.

If you are simlocked after the JB update, just downgrade to ICS, use galaxysimunlock found on Play Store, then upgrade to JB again.

There is a chance, I rooted mine and flashed the first leak of JB (LSJ) and my phone didn't lock (I was unlocked before like your phone). According to poster above you, you can use galaxysim unlock from Play Store on JB leak. So it shouldn't be an issue to fix if it does become locked!

You bought it unbranded and carrier unlocked?
If so, you should be fine.

Well then that confirms that it is an unbranded/non-carrier locked phone. Just go ahead and try out JB, you shouldn't get carrier locked, only an extremely slim chance you will, and even then, it can be unlocked again.

What are you waiting for then? Flash JB
Whether its locked or not now is irrelevant.
Also the network sim lock was a bug in the LEAKED rom and is not a factor in the public/final version and even if it was its simple to unlock via a app and we have plenty of topics on unlocking so dont ask for help on this as its already available via search button.

Hi, I'm trying to flash my samsung with the new android 4.3 but it keeps
Go back to the original firmware no matter what firmware I flash it with
I've tried 4.0.1 official firmware (which was originally on it)
And the new 4.3
And that happened after I took it to samsung services to solve a problem happened in it
And they flashed it with the EGY firmware
Does anyone know why it keeps going back to that firmware?
And by the way I could root it normally and used it for about 2 weeks
Thank you very much for your help
Sales code : EGY
Bootloader version: I9300XXEMD3
Baseband version: I9300XXEMA5
PDA version : I9300XXEMD3
CSC version : I9300JVEMC1

Maybe the Rom is not flashing properly. Phone should be "USB Debugging" enabled. Then please make sure you are selecting the md5 file in PDA section of Odin and also make sure that the phone is connected in Download mode (Power+Home+Vol Down - and then press Vol UP from the screen). It will show a blue color in COM section.

About odin, yes you can flash the firmware and your phone will work normally. Rooted does not matter for odin.
But if you are rooted then OTA update will not happen because Samsung will detect that you modified (rooted) the software.

I did the flashtool route of upgrading to 5.1.1 as I have in the past using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155
It goes through optimizing apps, then reboots, and repeats this process. I can get into the regular recovery menu with the options to reboots and factory reset by holding volume down, but can't seem to get into TWRP from ZXDualRecovery so I can restore the backup that I made.
Any help would be appreciated. Just want my tablet back up and running.

Care to link me?I can't find it anywhere. My tablet won't pull it and the Verizon update software says it's up to date.
May be best to wait. That update borked my tablet, but Xperifirm is software that you use to download it.
I've used xperitool,tried to ota,used verizon/Sony upgrade tool, got the same email from Sony, and Googled the hell out of this with no results. I'm convinced there is no 5.1.1 update for this tablet and it was confused with the 5.0.2 update going from verizon internal testing to official ota. The z3 phone and this tablet shared the build name. I don't believe it. With that in mind I think you flashed phone firmware and that's why you are bootlooping.

Here's the same FTF I used if you would like to give it a shot.
Thanks for sharing that.
Your welcome. Did it work?

OK if your using flashtool to to update then it's likely you are overwriting the custom recovery with the stock one from the ftf so you should flash twrp again after flashing a ota then I would recommend flashing a prerooted firmware from the general section

Did this file end up working for you? I was on the 5.1.1 and then rooted and later ended up bricking my tablet...the only ftf file I can find is the 5.0.2 internal version and the 4.4.4 kit kat. I've tried making ftf files but whatever I get off xperifirm never shows in the available files box when I'm trying to decrypt. Do you by chance have a stock official 5.1.1 ftf file that is ready to flash? I'm going insane here lol I wish I could make my own files
Yes, and for the user above your post that I shared it for.
Anyone get the bootloader unlocked on the sgp561?
Sent from my SGP561 using XDA-Developers mobile app
We still need to make our own flashable.zip and then we can use the ftf above?
I've seen a few questions about downgrading from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 and that odin won't allow it.
It's because of secure bootloader, that won't allow downgrade of binary version.
I've made a flashable zip for twrp of the latest 5.1.1 released with csc NEE. (because thats my region)
This will leave your current bootloader version and baseband version, compared to the odin file.
I just did some very light debloating of some microsoft crap as far as I can remember. Maybe some google app as well, like hangout.
No root added, no tweaks, just pretty much stock. Edit: Forgot to mention it's deodexed and zipaligned.
Thought I could share it if anyone needs it.

Nice work! Can you do the same for 6.0.1? Since 7 came out I'm stuck there and can't downgrade.

Hi, thanks.
Since the last MM update, our bootloader got upgraded to binary 3. Same as Nougat.
It should be possible to downgrade with odin using one of the latest released MM firmwares. One that starts with A310FXXU3.
Don't forget to back up data and factory reset before you do, otherwise you'll probably end up in a bootloop problem.

Yeah, I know, but I want to downgrade to an earlier version of 6.0.1 which has still the old bootloader with binary 2...

Not possible unless you modify the .tar.md5 by removing the .bin files in it, then tar it up and flash in odin.
The secure bootloader (sboot.bin) won't allow the downgrade of itself. Needs to be left at U3.
Modem (modem.bin) must also be left at U3, because downgrade modem to U2 while keeping the U3 bootloader will leave you with unknown network or IMEI loss untill upgraded again.
Same with cm.bin. It needs to be left at U3 afaik.

Thank you, that worked!! I'm surprised myself because I had tried it before with only sboot.bin removed and it had failed. Now the flash went through seamlessly.

Hi. Do you need specificly that firmware or you just want to downgrade from Nougat?
If you need to downgrade from N, here's also a newer 6.0.1 for ZTO, A720FXXU2AQFA which I think should work for downgrade.

Many thanks for sharing! I've tested this one as I wanted just to take a deeper look at 5.1.1 on A3 2016 (My phone when unboxed immediately started upgrade to 6.0.1 so I did not have much time to play around with 5.1.1). I am quite surprised with the performance. The 5.1.1 is surely a beastie. Unfortunately I've got used to some Nougat features (reply from notifications, centered lockscreen "big" clock, quite powerful doze mode saving a lot of juice from the battery) and decided to go back to 7 which I use currently as a daily driver.
link update
hi guys please link update 50kb/s :crying: :crying: please plase emergency
French ?
A big thank you for your post and your work. If I put in place your NEE file, would I have the firm in French? It's good with TWRP that we put in place?
I do not understand a word of English and have to go through a translator.
Thanks again

Hi. Yes, flash it with twrp. French language should be included.
Added mega mirror. AFH seem to have problems lately.
Hi!
Thanks a lot for this stock rom!
The battery life and speed it's better than nougat.
But I have a question, can you make the same stock rom based on 6.0.1?
I don't have a PC to extract a rom from firmware, and I searched a lot a flashable stock 6.0.1.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks again!
help!! help!!
Can you do for the A710f? Please??
Hey guys, I just updated my system to 8.0 and I hate it, I'd like use 7.1.1 again. I cannot find any stock roms. Can someone help me? The 2017.december one would be the greatest.
Hi,
download FlashTool for Xperia devices.
Install the program.
Go to C:/FlashTool/drivers a install drivers (during installation you will meet with list so chose flashmode and fastboot drivers).
Run FlashTool.
Click on Black icon with XF letters.
On the left side find Xperia X and correct model number.
On the right side click on "Check all" and all firmwares will be shown.
Click on "Latest firmware" column and it will be ordered from the newest to oldest.
Click on number ending .252
On the right side click on rectangle with the number of FW.
It will pop up window so click on Download.
Firmware after that is downloaded and converted to FTF.
You can flash it.
I can help if you still don't understand.

Thank you. I got it. I've done things like this before on my Xperia Z1 but it always end up bridging my phone and it took a long time to get it work. I wanted to ask which stock ROM should i pick? There's 4 .252 roms there with different location? is that important? Will i have any signal issues? And how could i update the rom without losing any data? Like when I updated to 8.0, is there anyway all that only the system changes? imgur.com/a/YPWMA

You can update through OTA if you don't wanna lose data.
Pick CE1. It doesn't matter. There might be a small difference but I guess only the little one.

For me some notification's stuck on 1, you know the small number on the top right of the icon. Settings are confusing, maybe a bit slower system, camera laggs a bit, while playing music on t he sony music app if ii start or pause music it starts vibrating or giving sounds if slient mode isnt turned on , even while changing track. awful
I must disagree.
Camera is faster so does the OS.
If you made clean install then there must be something wrong.
What's worse is battery life but the first version of newer Android always is with downsides which might be fixed in the future.

yeah but isnt this our last official firmware?
I don't get the question mark - rhetorical question?
Sony gotta release updated FW of Oreo. It's not working like last 7.1.1.
I'm sure about not getting 8.1 but ignoring their last FW for Xperia X would be a bad move.
