Before unlock use the function efs backup in this app.

gastonw: You mean galaxysim unlock by chainfire? This app didn´t solve my problem.
But galaxsim unlock by Spocky from market, solved my problem very quickly and I think permanently. Because I tested 2 custom roms after unlock and this issue any more...

I need help fast, my friends

Hello my friends, I need your help
I had bought a mobile x10a from canda
i bought it from a telecommunications company at $ 240
Is a device used is not new
The problem is that the device does not accept any SIM CARD .. Only offering from the company
So .. I've bought from the company code to make the device work on any sim card at $ 35
The company is a code that puts in the phone and I'm not I who put it
Mobile version 1.6 ... So .. I want to update to 2.3.3
Can I do it without problems??? Or will I need to buy a new one to break the code
What is your opinion in this problem?? ... Please help me
I think SIM Card lock will not affect the update process. Be easy my friend.

Code has been developed by the company and I do not have a copy of it
This is the last comment I will make on this topic it is getting annoying now. The code is PERMANENT. I know that because...that is what the code is supposed to do. PERMANENT UNLOCK. It doesn't matter if you root it, update it, go back to 1.6 or go to 2.1 or go to 2.3.3. It will ALWAYS STAY UNLOCKED. Please stop asking questions over and over again. If you do not believe me than that is your problem.
thank my friend for you comment

Unlock code won't work??

Hey guys, i bought the unlock code from cellunlocker.net and got the network/unlock code but the phone is not accepting it... i tried all alternative methods to input the codes but just won't take it... i tried data/cache wipe, tried using different sim cards (tmobile), etc
I rooted/ics (juggernuat) rommed the phone prior to unlocking you think this might be the reason why the phone's not accepting the unlock code?
you should ask first!
i unlocked my att i717 note from ebay for 5.88$. (thanks KillaHurtz)!
yes, it' works!
message me and i give you the link.
dont think they allow ebay link here.
How many times have you entered unlock code. It only gives you 3 chances to enter codes and then locks you out.

[Q] Unlocked Phone but keeps re-locking

Hey, all
I've recently aquired a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100p Which is the version with NFC which if I'm correct is an american important?
I am from the UK.
So basically I edited my nv_data.bin so that my phone would be come Network Unlocked and it keeps resetting the Network Lock.
I have tried the following apps :
Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz
Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool by DaGentooBoy
[Root] Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock by Chainfire
[TOOL] Samsung Network/Sim Unlock Code Generator/Patcher (SGS1/2/3) by AdamLange
Non of these work and I can't seem to figure out why I have to delete my nv_data.bin from my phone and replace it with edited one on my SDCard then reboot and I have Network unlock for about 4-5hours then it disconnects and I have to do it again.
Can anyone possibly help me with this?
Thanks in advance to all.
EDIT --
Before anyone goes use the search buttton...
I have used the search button and I can't seem to find the answer I am looking for.

GalaxSim Unlock is now available in the Google Play Store here. It's free to download, with in-app billing to unlock, for what I believe is a fair price.

No problem mate
I am really upset that I have to keep deleting my modified nv_data.bin and replacing it to make it so my orange sim card works hehe
Thanks for the advice tho I will have to try it out if I can't find and alternate..
I would pay but I don't know how much it will cost and if it costs more than £5 I would pay I would take it to the local market
@OP, the link of the app IS for the FULL version of the APP... the one on the market is the one with the in-app billing... i just downloaded the app from the link and it worked for me(free)
Edit: The apk in the link is missing the other "Features" that the owner writes about in the post. But it does unlock for free.

Is the GTI9100 unlocked?

I have galaxy s3 with a straight talk micro sim in it (the bring your own phone sim, cost 14.00 bucks). I bought a used GTI9100M s2 and re installed the stock rom because I wanted to remove the root from it. when I install my sim for my s3 with the adapter from mini to micro, it gives me the ENTER NETWORK UNLOCK CONTROL KEY BOX. I though the GTI9100 was unlocked as it is the international version. So why is it asking for a control key?
I just want to be able to use gti9100 for a backup phone in case my s3 breaks. can I switch the sim back and fourth like this?
Thank you for any advice.
You need to unlock it. Being the international version doesn't mean it's unlocked per se.

Do I need one of those unlock codes off the internet that cost about 10 bucks?
Also, can you or someone tell me if by doing this I'm unlocking the phone or the sim card itself? I don't want to cause a problem with my sim when I put it back in my S3, thaks
You can unlock it by searching the forum. There's a thread about this resolved yesterday at q&a.
And no, it won't affect your sim card at all, it will only unlock your phone.

I want to thank you for your help first, but I'm wondering now why I bothered getting a GTI9100 international if I still have to unlock it. All I've seen people saying is, " just get an unlocked phone, that way any gsm provider's sim will work with it".
LOL, thought I had it figured out, then this..

Wait let me think.... sim lock is carrier related in that your device only allows certain sims. Therefore your device is locked down to a carrier, unless I've completely misunderstood!

Its working for only one company sim cards. So yeah if I dont have this sim card from this company it wont work.. There is way to pay like o 4-5$ to unlock it. But wanted to ask if there is any free solution.
Otherwise I will have to pay ;(

I'm glad that you are doing well, good luck to you.
You would have to contact the carrier, who's brand is on your device for the cell network unlock code.
