[Q] Jelly bean update from ICS - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have galaxy SII GT-I9100.It is a carrier mobile.Carrier is Australia "yes OPTUS' .I got it unlocked from a mobile shop.When i start the Mobile there was ICS Rom with lot of "Optus" applications.Since it is first time i set it to automatic Software update.So it automatically downloaded Jelly bean ROM and installed.But now an Error message comes as "Unfortunately application installer has stopped" also now screen is completely black.I cant do any think now.I tried following thinks to sort this problem
1)Went to recovery mood and Clear an wipe all data.I did this three times.But Still same problem
2)I have downloaded official Carrier(Optus firmware ) http://devsrom4android.blogspot.com/2011/10/samsung-galaxy-s2-firmware-update-optus.htmland installed it via Odin.Then it was worked fine.But again same problem is raised when i set automatic update
How can i sort this problem?
Can i install and android jelly bean ROM which is not a Carrier firmware?
Or can i install any Custom ROM to sort this out?
If used any other software ,do network locked again?
Please help me. to sort this.Thanks for advance.

Forget about the carrier, flash any ROM (remember the 4.0.4 remark).
Galaxysim unlock is the tool to unluck your phone if locked again and it's here at xda for free, it's paid at play store.

Maybe the developer doesn't care since you've slagged off his rom.
I used to be like you until I read Feras statement about "roms he creates as for his use and he shares them for people to try".
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Right, so first: Have you unlocked your bootloader?
Second: Is your phone sim-unlocked? (In other words, are you able to use a sim card from another carrier in your phone?)
Third: If you haven't gotten your x10 sim-unlocked you're going to have to relock your bootloader.
Here is the tool to relock your bootloader.
Fourth: Assuming the above is all true, you need to sim-unlock your phone. You can either contact your cell carrier (if you bought the phone from them), or use one of the paid services online. I don't know which service can do it because I went with the cell carrier route
Hope I helped! If I did, don't forget to hit the 'thanks' button

Depends on your bootloader status. If u unlocked bl after SIM-unlock u may have broke radio. Revert back to stock and relock bl then u can start again

After flashing CM 10 unlock is gone

i bought an austrian version of the sgs3 branded by the provider 3" .
the phone was given to me unlocked by an unlock code and had 4.0.4 on it.
then i rooted the phone and did a backup.
via ota i got a message that a new update is available, but it was not able to install it (i think because of the root), although i used the newest cf-root-files CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar.
i wanted to have jelly bean on it and installed the cm 10 but unfortunately the unlock was gone.
please can anyone tell me how to restore it, because i really would like to use cm10 and an unlocked phone.

Some SIM unlock methods do not survive the upgrade to JB. Not knowing the method, it is impossible to answer.
You can always use Galaxsim unlock (search XDA for free) to unlock the SIM once upgraded. It needs root though, but its free.

I would recommend upgrading to the very latest version for your region, yes. You need to get off ICS ASAP really.
If you're making a big leap to say, 4.1.2 (recommended) then you may be best preparing to do a factory reset. This of course wipes the internal SD card too. So just backup what you can before flashing a ROM. Even though you may not need to reset, it is best practice due to settings incompatabilities.
Then, IF you have become sim locked, you can quickly root using cf-auto root, run GalaxSim unlock and unroot again (using super use app).

How to know if Bootloader is UNLOCKED and more

Hi
I was surfing around and found a very useful code for those who don't know if have bootloader unlocked.
In dialer:
3845#*installed rom model#
Eg.: 3845#*760#
Roll the menu down and you will see "Bootloader Unlock Check"
Click there and then click again in "Bootloader Unlock Check"
Will return Lock or Unlock
It has many other tools you can explore
Hope it helps!

Dial it again, find the unlock checker and open it. It won't unlock/lock it, but it will tell you if it is unlock/lock.
When it should give me the answer, it doesn't. I just get the error and back to desktop.. :-??
The hidden menu does not work properly even on jb..shows my bootloader is locked..its unlocked running cm..best way to check if BL is locked is s/w upgrade mode will say bootloader status unlocked..if it don't say that on s/w upgrade mode ur bootloader is not unlocked..don't flash stuff or u will get security errors or a bricked device!

Wow! It has some nice hidden values!
Thank you very much! Its really helpful... :good:
Worked for my JB.. Screenshot attached for a brief preview of how it looks..
Not for everyone
Sorry men but I think is not for everyone because I do can access to the hidden menu but none of the options say anything about bootloader, maybe is that I can't identify because is abbreviate, if is the case please tell me how is in you're cellphone, I have a P769g running android 4.1.2 V20a by telcel, I alredy know that has a locked bootloader but I don't knew about this "hidden menu" and I wanna tried. Sorry for my errors but I don't write often in english.
Pretty neat menu even has a lot of stuff to test the phone hardware and such.

[Q] Can i use Cyanogenmod Installer to install custom roms other than cyanogenmod ?

As the title says, I am asking whether i can use cyanogenmod installer via play store to unlock bootloader. I have stock rom and I want to install 4.4 roms and i got sick of waiting for samsung to release an update. So i am asking if I used cyanogenmod installer to unlock the device and then unroot by myself. After then can i install other custom roms just by flashing them? Is this a safe course to follow or do you suggest it would be better to follow one of the guides that shows how to install custom roms on S3 from start(stock rom)?
