I've purchased the Straight Talk (Tracfon) Samsung Galaxy S2 Model SGH-S959G. However, the sim is locked. Is there anyway that I can unlock it and also root the phone?
Please help me.

That thread shows how to install a new kernel on the device, which is great. But does that mean it is also unlocked (besides rooted)?
Thanks

Nope, there used to be an app to unlock it, downloaded it from google play store, but I think you can only find it here at xda developers now.
I think you need to Odin the i777 firmware to it before you can use the app to unlock.

It just seemed as soon as the first lot got these done everybody just stopped trying i'd really like to get some help on this and will be happy to help if i can.
p.s. im an absolute noob on phone tech, but have rooted the phone
If phone is rooted , after that it is very easy. Download sgs 2 app(dev is chainfire) from market. Follow the instruction, that's it. Works for me works for you.

1st you need to root it ! go on "original android development" find the tutorial for rooting and do it
after you root you can go to android market and search for unlock sgs2 or just type "chainfire" and you gona see the application to unlock you phones for all networks
my android version is 2.3.5 will this still work?

Not sure how to unlock SGS2, it already has ICS, could anybody advise ? Thanks
Are we talking sim unlock? If so search market for sim unlock and use the chinfire or helroz ones.
I had no luck with chainfires but the helroz one worked perfectly.
Mine was locked to orange.

I believe device needs to be rooted first ? And yes - i need sim unlock
yes both those apps need root, but should defo do the sim unlock for you. worked for me

It worked ! chainfire's failed but helroz did the job
and of course in this case you lose your warranty, right?

I'd say most of things we talking in this forum would affect the warranty

okay i may be stubborn but i too have this exact verizon moto z droid and love the phone but have always liked tampering with them . i had this same problem with my previous phone witch was a verizon galaxy note 4 .. im being stubborn with this one i guess and want to know why there isnt a crack or something i know tons of people must have this phone .. why isnt there a workaround for getting passed the bootloader. i have searched everywhere and here i am empty handed . i will swear by this forum and so i guess thats why im here hoping for an answer
Hey everyone,
I haven't had an android since 2013 since the HTC one.
I'm looking for a permanent way to root, plus install recovery.
I'm used to the fastboot method. I've seen a lot of rather ''easy'' methods, but in my experience they're not permanent or reliable root, and make no mention about recoveries.
What do I need to root, install recovery, and update say firmware and baseband? Rogers s6 edge.
Please and thank you.
