[Q] Installed JB 4.1.2, now sim network locked - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, i`m new here, i need your help.
Yesterday i put on my i9100 Jely Bean 4.1.2 rom with odin,and everything was great,but when i power on my phone it asked me: simlock network is locked. please input unlock code.
I was searching so many forums, and i rooted my phone with philz root, and installed super user from recovery mode, i installed busybox,latest version,and then galaxys_unlock i tried to unlock with this method,but after step 2 from galaxys_unlock i`m stuck,because it asked me again for unlock code.
I tried the app from play store from xda-developers but gave me no code unlock,i even try SamsungUnlocker_v1.4 and patch nv_data.bin,and replace with original and no results, what should i do?
I forgot to mention that my phone had ics 4.0.2 from france orange, and worked like charm in all networks,any help?
P.S. HW VERSION 1.5.
Thanks alot and sorry for my poor english.

You need to use "Galaxsim unlock" for it to work with the JB leak. Just search the forums for the free version or pay in the Play Store.

As person above said, it has been answered many times, so use the search function!
Next time you ask a question with no obvious attempt at searching, you won't get help from me.
I had the same problem with the leaked version..i was unable to unlock it directly with galax s sim unlock so i had to restore for Gingerbread root unlock it and then do a backup of efs folder..save it anywhere on your sd card..then flash it..and should be unlocked and if the problem continues restore your backup from efs..and your done

[Q] [SOLVED] Phone locked after JB

Hi,
As I'm new to the area, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place.
I bought a SII from UK (T-Mobile unlocked) and have been using it in Turkey. Yesterday, as JB wasn't available for T-Mobile UK yet, I downloaded 4.1.2 for Vodafone UK. After installing it, my device began asking network unlock PIN. (I should have downloaded an unbranded ROM, I learned it later.)
I rooted the phone for the first time and tried to unlock it with Galaxy Sim Unlock, but no good. I installed back the 4.0.4 for T-Mobile, but the problem continues.
Now I'm stuck with the phone. Any help, direction, lead to relevant forums would be appreciated. (The ones I searched and read was above my knowledge.)
Here is the screenshot showing the details of the phone.
What can I do without losing the IMEI, etc. information?
Thanks,

with basic knowledge you can't do much...
btw - did you try all unlocking apps from market??
No, just Galaxy Sim Unlock. All the time, I was reading about similar problems and when I saw about the EFS backup requirement, I stopped trying. And looked for more experienced support, here. I didn't want to mess up IMEI as it would cause lots of trouble.
Sure, it takes time to learn but if it'a phone which serves every communication, time urges. So, will keep on reading and find something.
By the way, as going back to ICS didn't help, I thought it would be better to be on JB if I could unlock the phone. Now I have this on my phone (again unrooted):
Baseband version: I9100XXLS8
Kernel version: 3.0.31-889555
[email protected]#3
...
Build Number
JZ054K.I9100XWLSJ
When I was trying to find a way to root, I saw different kernels but I couldn't understand the exact one I needed. From what I read here: "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399", I have to use a kernel with LSJ. Is it true?

You flashed a branded ROM on an unbranded phone.

i went through the same ordeal! download galaxsim unlock from xda! it worked for me after trying a whole buch of other ones including galaxsim unlock 1.43. good luck!
I'm sure it was a stupid thing to do but give to the long time waiting for JB and getting another ICS. But the phone wasn't unbranded totally, I hated that T-mobile animation on every boot.
Just one thing, as I asked above, can you suggest a kernel to root. I gave the information above and I was confused with the many options to choose among. I'm not sure which one is for me.
Re: [Q] Phone locked after JB
Flash unbranded jb.
If it's still blocked get galaxysim unlock, it's free here at xda.

Solved-thanks.
I solved the problem with the method vanisleryan suggested. I installed unbranded jb as you said. Thanks everyone.

[Q] How to unlock SAMSUNG Exhilarate(SGH-I577) for free - from a poor Chinese person

First of all, I'm from China, my English is not very well, maybe you can't understand what I'm saying. I'm so sorry to my college English teacher that I haven't learn hard in his class.
Now let's entering the title:
I have a SAMSUNG Exhilarate(SGH-I577 AT&T) which my sister bring back from NewYork, and I want it to use my Chinamobile SIM card, and there comes the problem. When I insert my Chinamobile SIM card into the phone, it needs me to input "sim network unlock pin" ,but I don't have this number.
First what I'm thinking is to flash a rom, but this phone model doesn't released in China, I've been searched for 2 days, and finally find it's rom in this forum, I've downloaded two roms

I've been successfully flashing both of them, but when I insert my Chinamobile SIM card, it all needs to input "sim network unlock pin" :crying:
I searched whole day to find a way to unlock this, I've tried Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool, it doesn't work. Someone said there is a nv_data.bin file in the system, but I haven't found it even by using ReExplorer. Then I find Samsung tool and installed in my computer, but it doesn't work, does this software need to purchase?
So anybody call tell me how to unlock my phone, Is there any expert, proficient, mybe god can help me, Can someone give me a detailed description how to do this,
you can reply to this thread or send me an email:[email protected]
I'll give you my best regard.

My father always says that I keep learning from the forums and I never write anything. Well now something discovered by me. At least I believe so after browsing Internet for several hours.
I read the above recomendation of "kew1701" about flashing a modem of the t989 to the i577, and I thought: That will probably brick my i577 because the i577 is LTE and the t989 don't. It worked for the t769 because the t769 is not LTE either. And both the t989 and the t769 are for T-Mobile.
So I decided to give the try on my i577 with the modem I use to unlock the i727, the UCLD2. I assured my i577 was on ICS 4.0.4 and installed the modem with TWRP.
I originally downloaded that modem from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029650
(I thank that thread).
Followed the *#197328640# steps and it worked like a charm! Unlocked!. IMEI intact and all working. Now probably will flash back a i577 stock firmware, if I find it.
(My phone was on 4.0.4 UCLH3)
Enjoy.
Nice

Hi guy, you can search helroz or Galaxy S Unlock (required rooted and BusyBox associated) on the Google plays.
Another option is using the GalaxSimUnlock (thanks spocky12 for the free version)
thankyou

Thank you OP and Untitled87!
Also thank you "creepyncrawly" for the link to get here from another post. Able to unlock att i777(running on JB 4.3 that had been banned from xda) to use tmobil.
Have you tried AT&T
I just finished a frustrating series of attempts to use a number of unlocking programs (Galaxy S Unlock, SGS Unlock Tool, GalaxySim Unlock) after rooting with Framaroot-1.4.2, but none of them worked. Then I called AT&T to see if they would provide the code and sure, no problem. After waiting about 5 min to get to a human, I had no trouble at all. May I suggest to one and all that it might be best to try this first as it could save a lot of trouble. Then root it and flash a ROM, if desired - I will to get rid of the AT&T intro and programs I still can't uninstall with root.
FYI - My phone:
Service version : Android Version : 4.1.2 / Baseband Version : I777UCMD8
Device model: SGH-I777ZKAATT
I had previously updated to Jelly Bean from ICS (4.0.3, I think) with Kies.
