[Q] Galaxy S2 Unlocked (T-Mobile UK) Custom ROM Doubt - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi actually my doubt is that i ve an unlocked Galaxy S2 From T-mobiles UK. I'm using it in INDIA
When i connect it to samsung kies. It's showing that your firmware is not supported.
So i googled for stock ROM and finally found the ICS 4.0.4 ( Now running 4.0.3) sammobile site and downloaded it
Now my doubt is that if i download and flash with that ROMS will my mobile be "locked" again??
Thanks in Advance:fingers-crossed:

[Q] I9100P unlocking messed up my phone!!

Hello all i'm new here and have a problem.
I have a Sgs2 I9100P on Orange (uk) and i took it to a shop to unlock.
When i got home and turned the phone on it said I9100 where as before it used to say I9100P. Also the OS was now back to gingerbread but i had upgraded to ICS before i took it to be unlocked. So i thought ok ill upgrade back to ICS through kies like i did before. When i tried to upgrade kies just says it cant do anything to the phone. Its like it doesnt recognise the firmware.
The guy at the shop seemed to having difficulty unlocking the phone and he did have to flash it. He did manage to unlock it but i think he has put the wrong firmware on the phone.
I have managed to find a stock ICS orange network firmware for the I9100P and was thinking to flash that firmware with Odin. I have never flashed my phone but have read some tutorials and it seems straight forward.
So basically do you experts think it would work and would the phone still be unlocked?
If you need more information i should be able to provide. Thank you in advance for any advise anyone can give.
Yes flash orange bvlp6 for gt-i9100p though odin and you will be fine and the phone should still be sim unlocked .l unlocked my phone on GB and now updated to ics and still unlocked dude

The only reason you'd need the stock kernel is if you needed to flash it back for some reason. For example, you flashed an insecure kernel to root the phone, or flashed a custom kernel. But then you wanted to flash the stock kernel back.
Otherwise, you don't really need it. The stock firmware has the stock kernel packaged inside of it.

grrrr why is this so hard... i cant even extract the firmware because the password is incorrect, i'm going to go bald before my time at this rate lol
when i click on the links to download from multiupload it either downloads i-livid or directs me to deposit files and i get the message "This file does not exist, the access to the following file is limited or it has been removed due to infringement of copyright. "
all i need is the official stock for S2 locked to orange UK, an insecure kernal to root the phone, unlock it, then put the secure kernal back.... it sounds so simple but it's proven not the case

Where did you download the firmware from? They should have supplied a password with on the download page. Alternatively, you can look on sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com. I was able to find BVKJ4 on both those sites.
EDIT to add: also, multiupload has been shut down for some time now by the DOJ and FBI.

ok worked it out if you hover over the region it tells you, only problem i want 2.3.5/6 and there isn't one for Orange UK
this might sounds like a stupid question, but i want to use giffgaff (o2 network), could i just flash o2 stuff onto phone or would it still be locked to orange?

Why are you downgrading to GB to do a SIM unlock?
A quick Google search for "i9100 unlock sim" yielded:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507472
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360174
and many, many more pages. None of them say to downgrade to GB.
EDIT to add: in fact, there are two apps for SIM unlocking the Galaxy SII on the Play Store: one from Chainfire, and one from Helroz. Both are free.

I have tried both of those apps and both failed, phone was rooted with ICS but the codes weren't found, as i have failed to unlock it myself i took it to two different shops to unlock, both failed to unlock my phone and suggested that i should downgrade back to GB and try again to see if it works, tbh i really dont know what to do next which is why i thought i'd try to unlock from GB.
like i said i really have no idea what to do next so any tips would be great, thanks

Throught Odin, right... So u used a "orange"based firmware...
So just search for a "normal" one (f.ex. here) and flash it in same way...
That should fix ur problem

Choose which version u want...
I would recommend to use the latest one of 4.0.4 u can find.
The 4.1 is already Jelly Bean but not as stable as the other ones....
I saw it's now with actual firmwares....
So load the firmwares from sammobile
(Search =i9100 then u got a list, sort by date)
CHEERS
well, thank you so much!! really appreciate it ... will do it and tell you if it works or not
same thing!!! locked and request a code could someone please help?

and the phone has the orange logo on back...after installing this rom i think the phone is locked!! and even if i use galaxy s unlock it doesn't work
but why the phone was working on the 2.x firmware? was it unlocked with galaxy s unlock? does galaxy s unlock work only on old Firmwares?
and now what's the solution? is there a custom rom to install? something to do after installing the rom? or do i have to reinstall 2.x and unlock it with galaxy s unlock? will this work?
First get a micro sd card. Plug it into your computer and download a stable rom into the micro sd. Make sure you leave it as a zip file. Go to your phone's recovery and select the new rom.
Best of luck,

See if Spockys Galaxsim unlock works.I cant be arsed checking if it wirks on gb or ics or what,but you can.
Its only O2 phones or unbranded ones that are unlocked by default.

This has become a huge problem for me too.
I've used the i9100 for a year. At the beginning unlocked it, and tried hundreds of ROMS (CM,MIUI...), and never had a problem with Network Lock.
Before selling it(ebay), I updated it to 4.0.4(unbranded) and send it. BAM! The buyer told me it had a Simlock... Uh :silly:??? I told him not to worry, and bought an IMEI Unlock code for him. He said didn't work, I couldn't believe it, but it is so.
Now I have again my SGS2 here, with the symptoms:
- Compilation LPW
- Network Locked
- Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz does not work.
- Chainfire's method finds the same Unlock Code that I bought for 9€. But they don't work!:crying:
I will flash a 4.0.3 ROM and see what I can do.
Let u know.
Cheers.

Hi Guys
My friend is having the same problem however he doesn't have a SIMcard just yet. turned on his device and connected to wireless, checked for updates and it reports with no updates available for his device...bought the device in Australia. he doesnt don't get a SIMcard for another 2 weeks. Will he get updates once he insert his SIMcard or will he have to update via odin?
i was under the impression that Samsung will update their devices and then push it to our service providers to then push the update out to the user?
is this even correct?
Thanks
U can get the update even without sim card. Just download Samsung Kies on your laptop and connect your phone and upgrade the firmware using Kies.
This will do the update to jellybean

lol :silly: im not sure you know whats going on....
I have a NEW Samsung Galaxy S3 bought from Kogan Australia...
Out of the box it came with Android 4.0.4
I know jellybean (4.1.1) is available for the S3
FIRST i checked the phone for updates...Said my phone was all up to date.
Then plugged in my phone using Kies....Kies said the same thing.
Then went and had a look at the model number (BTW Kies didn't ask me for model number it figures it out on its own)
Turns out i got a GT-I9300A
Then searched the net for a Samsung galaxy GT-I9300A...Nothing came up.
Then decided to comment on XDA because i thought someone might know whats going on.
Found out i was wrong!

I had the same problem as you when I bought my s3 two weeks ago. I am from the philippines and the s3 I bought had a different region (kenya). Kenya is still pending on jellybean update. I could not update via OTA. It always says that it is up to date. Tried kies, same thing. I decided to flash via Odin the Samsung official firmware 4.1.1 from sammobile, choosing my country among the list. After flashing I did a factory reset which then registered my s3 to my country. All is well now as I am registered to my local network and can receive OTAs. And warranty is not voided.
Note : be sure your s3 is GT-I9300 unlock. HTH.

Sorry for the confusion. What I meant was my s3 was factory sim unlock (open line). I did not mean bootloader unlocked. If you have used different Sims then your good to go. Don't unlock the bootloader if you're going to flash official firmware, to keep warranty.

There is no JB update for Iran yet. If you want to have your JB experience then you have to download other countries' firmware then flash it manually. I suggest the UK-BTU version or rather go for Poland-XEO which is 4.1.2

[Q] Need help in unlocking

Hi all. I have Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300. My phone is locked to UK Orange i guess and I live in Lithuania so I cant use my phone. I want to unlock my phone by code, but my ROM is custom.
My ROM: I9300XXEMC2
Android version: 4.1.2
And here's my questions:
1. What is stock ROM of my phone or should I download UK version or Baltic one (I live in Baltic country)?
2. Is there any possibility, that the code will not work?
3. And how to unlock my phone step by step?

I have tried all these apps and none of them works.
Also my Phone says: Current command is 186
Bump!
Guys, I really need help!
Applications and patches no longer work, if your phone has firmware later than EMG4. Search and read for more information, others with the same issue.
