Point me in right direction to unlock s2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I have been reading that there is an app to unlock the Samsung S2. I have one locked to bell and my wifes is locked to rogers. Can you point me in the right direction of what the easiest and newest app is to unlock the phones?
Thanks

Use GalaxSim Unlock.
It is available here on XDA.

Just download the app as mentioned earlier and follow instructions
*** How to use ***
Prerequisites :
Rooted rom
Busybox (found on the market and already present in many custom roms)
Install the app, click on "unlock" and reboot.
If it worked successfully and you want to encourage my work (either by supporting more devices or by improving the unlock in case of samsung new ril update) a small donation is appreciated.

Is there an easy way to unlock the phone without having it rooted?

[Q] 3 UK White Galaxy S 2 root

I have just started to use android. Galaxy S 2 is my 1st ever android device gifted by my wife on our 2nd anniversary. Even though it was bought in Lahore, Pakistan; it is 3 mobile UK branded gs2. I was about to root it watching this video: youtube(DOT)com/watch?v=KNVE0UDe-bQ
I realized that since this is branded and I cant even update it (which could mean that it is locked), I may not be able to root the device following this video. Also, I am confused since my device's build number and kernel number are pretty different (screen shot attached).
Can someone guide me easy to follow exact steps to root this device safely? If I mess up, my wife will use the brick on me .
What software would I want?
Where will I download the software from?
Where will I get the insecure kernel from?
I so want to use WIFIKILL at office

Look in the Original Development Section for CF-Root, this has everything you should need and good easy to follow instructions....
Read the OP fully Before you try anything!

There is only one issue here.. I do not know what the ODS is as I am new here. It would be nice of you, if you would guide me with links?
You can remove network lock AFTER rooting. You can root using cfroot but ChainFire has only released cfroot for stock firmware not branded 3 firmware so you will need to flash to stock firmware, root, rhen use the network unlonk in the market. I found the CF one didnt work but the other one in the market works.
After you have done this then you can use ClockWorkMod (added with cfroot) to flash the gtalk with video.
There is alot to learn...

can root i9100G not? coz i having a problem on it
Thanks Rajesh. Let me show you the crap apps I am dealing with. The guide you are have referred to; will it work for my branded GS2?
I have another question. Can I de brand the device and get rid of all these apps without rooting it? I will not be able to use wifikill, but then if this is more complicated then rooting a non branded S2; I guess I will have to live with this! HATE IT!
Phone is now rooted!!!
Thank you everyone! My phone is now rooted and I am all set!

tell her to use this simple widjet called ' Battery solo' from playstore
That's not even close to what I asked for....
You want only the battery mod without any other modifications right ?
Also I need to know which version of ICS your friend has so can I have a screenshot of the settings >>> about
Like the one below :

Okaaay I can make it but I need to know the version, so can I get a screenshot like the one above please ?
Also do u want it to be green or blue because there are many icons...
Green.
She is running the following version:
Flash JKay Deluxe Framework, install app, configure it (turn on only battery mod) and she will be happy. I think.

Doesn't she have to be running a Deodexed firmware for that package??
Deodex isn't necessary for this. I also have this mod and I'm odexed. Everything is working fine.
Just flash the newer ics roms they have that option like gs3. No mods required.
This is just one example, many more have this option now.

She wants the circle battery mod.

[Q] Is it possible to add features/mods to a custom ROM after I have flashed it?

Apologies if I am breaking any rules with this. I read the rules please don't hurt me!
I've rooted my device and have CWM installed, flashed a few ROM's and gone back to stock, unrooted and rooted again so I know how to do a few things and I always back up. However, I want to be able to customise my experience rather than use someone else's customisation.
For example, I prefer the True Android interface as opposed to the Touchwiz experience but I like the Messaging app from Touchwiz and wish I could retain this as it allows me to link accounts for the same contacts really easily.
I also prefer to change tracks with the volume rocker when the phone is asleep. I can do this without removing the phone from my pocket and is very useful when training.
Basically, once I flash a custom ROM, can I then flash further MODS to it to add in the features I still want whilst benefiting from the faster operating speeds and battery life etc. I get over the stock ROM? I've read the wiki and understand difference between kernels, roms and apk's but would like to know how to apply this knowledge. I am never going to be a developer but I would like to know how to apply their work more effectively to my devices.
Would appreciate any education I can get on this. I'm happy to read up I don't expect to be spoonfed the answers.
Just for info:
Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 (bought unbranded from a third party seller so no network branding)

Thanks, this looks like some sort of customisable ROM, is that right?
If I download, for example, Omega as it seems popular, can I then make changes to that?

[Q] Hello, I have some important questions . .

Hello,
Without wasting your bandwidth, let me ask you directly. Here goes my first question
1.) What's the difference between Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and Jelly Bean 4.2.1 / 4.2.2 ?
And here goes my second question
2.) Will Samsung Galaxy SII (GT-I9100) get the update of 4.2.1 / 4.2.2 ?
P.S - I haven't got 4.1.2, still I would like to know . . Please answer
Thank you
I know Google is there to help me out but you all members are more better than Google according to my experience
No we're not
and the first Q can be solved by common sense...1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3.....5.2.2, and on and on.
Second Q, no news about it.

I thought there will be a drastic change. . okay thank you
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Not drastic but change, just change.
Samsung folks said that they were trying to get 4.2 on our devices, if they can't 4.1 is gonna be it.
