Today when my friend tried to turn on his galaxy SII, it stuck at at&t boot animation. He bought it few days ago on ebay. But it is unlocked. So what I have to do?
Hope I can get a answer soon.
Thanks in advance.

Try getting it into recovery and do a factory data reset.

And to get in recovery hold both volume buttons and power until a big menu shows up. Make sure it's not plugged in.

Is your friend's phone the AT&T version, SGH-I777 or the international version, GT-I9100?

I think it has to be the i777 or the i727 because the ATT boot screen
I already fixed it. Just read some thread find out how to get in to recovery. I think other SII have to press home+Vol+ to get in to recovery but ATT version do not have home button So thats where I got confusion.
Great... Make sure next time you are on the correct thread or web page for a device. read read read then read some more. Always check the model number on the device usually under battery. Have a good day!

Not finding reliable infor on this anywhere. I need to do a SIM unlock on my S2. AT$T says "the manufacturer provides this code", and the manufacturer says that "AT$T provide this code". I say, I'll get what I need from XDA, the only reliable source of info. How do I SIM unlock this damn phone?
moderators will tell you to do more searching next time. This was easy to find.

Hi, i want to sim unlock my phone, but if i do that i am losing Warranty, so is there some app to lock my phone again for the same mobile operator (in my case mts telekom Serbia). thanks
The app mentioned in that tutorial backs it all up for later restore if needed.

I believe if you're with them (AT&T) for more than 6 months, you can ask them for the unlock code (say, for travelling aboard)
Please delete this thread. The unlock thread was on the first Page ffs

You can get the Unlock code from service provider.But service provider ask to wait for some days they will not give the Unlock code very soon.You can better get the unlock code from Mobileunlocksolutions.com and unlock it from network lock.After Unlock it use with any GSM Network Sim card.

Or you can actually take 2 minutes of your time and search and get it all done with an app that's right under your nose in the market.

Well this phone is a bit different then most (like our Recovery being part of the actual kernel) so perhaps other phones don't have a simple software unlock and you HAVE to get the code from ATT. I know my old Moto Backflip didn't have a software option.

Hello,
I was told there was an update for the Samsung Galaxy S and I have the mesmeris from US Cellular.
I downloaded the walk through for it and pulled the battery our and got in to download mode with no problems. I followed the instructions and it said it was downloading it to my phone. Then right around 99 percent it said error on my computer. and my phone just stayed at 99% or well the bar was like almost to the end on the download mode screen. I unplugged the USB and pulled the battery again and tried the whole thing over. Same thing. When I went to boot the phone up it showed a "phone" - ! - "Computer" symbol. So I downloaded odin and tried to wipe everything back to the original. now when i put the battery in instead of booting up, it shows an AT&T world phone and will stay on that screen. It wont let me get back in to the download mode again. Can someone please help me out? I am so lost about this and would like to try and get this fixed :/

You mean the wrong update from the samgung site?
Any Idea how to get it back to US Cellular so it is not saying AT&T?
It wont let me get to the download mode now. Every time I try it nothing happens and it just shows a white screen with a globe and says AT&T World Phone

Because it will not connect to any other network other than to which it is locked..

Hmm.. that should have definitely worked. Did you press the send button/call button?
Another way you can check is by putting another sim card in and if its locked it will tell you.

Never used voodoo sim unlock and its not working for me either. Though the ROM I'm on has a tab to check easily but all the same... the dialer code isn't working

I dont have to use voodoo sim unlock because i bought mine full price from Samsung,unbranded but i would still like to be able to use dialer codes... Basically their latest updates reverse the unlock process by resetting the hex in the NV_data.bin every hour :/ but mine is permanently unlocked by Samsung! :happy:

try installing the omega 12 rom, as it has sim unlocking built in
The *#7465625# does not work on the Galaxy S3 anymore. That was the case for me and for everyone reporting here. I was able to get the same screen ans figure out my S3 was locked by using the app "SGS Secret Codes", which is available on the Play Store.
Does anyone know a way of figuring out which particular network the device is locked to? I just bought an S3 which was supposed to be unclocked bu it is not, and to unlock it I need to know which carrier it is locked to.
I am a bit confussed. Trying to get a straight talk s2 to work on t-mo for my brother. Rooted and running the collective rom on the phone. popping his t-mo card in the phone does not bring up a sim locked message, and I get no carrier signal. What do I need to do to get voice signal. does data work on this with a t-mo card? Do I tell him to move on?
Thanks

OK thanks but quick question since I'm on T-Mobile network to I flash tmobile modems or at&t modems?

They will be under downloads if u used ur phone to download them.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Well I tried flashing the T-Mobile modems but when I reboot I don't have service so I guess I should flash the at&t modems since it is the at&t phone guess it doesn't matter I'm using tmobile service
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
It does matter what modem you use and it depends on your location. ANY and ALL modems should give you phone service at least. So you have a problem. A problem talked about much many months ago. Again Backup, wipe completely, and install the factory ATT ROM using odin. Before you set it up do a factory reset for ****z and giggles. Verify that you have phone service. Then install recovery and superuser. Then install a T-mobile modem. Verify you have data and phone service. Then install the ROM of your choice. Do not reinstall a modem.
And please quit posting everywhere. You have been told what to do by a few now and all you do is rant everywhere. Maybe you should have purchased a T-mobile phone to use on T-mobile and saved yourself the trouble.
Yea but they charged more for the t-mobile version ima prolly wait and sell this one for 300 and put that with my check 2 hrs pf battery life is sad i thought the note would be better then that lol but i already did all that and i know im in a t-mobile 4g area cuz i had a t-mobile phone before and i tried all the modems they are not compatible for this phone im thinking the guy lied to me i think o might have a foreign phone again

you have ATT phone, use ATT modems. if you are that hellbent on using Tmobile, have you done the SIM unlock???
"Super Everything" is just that. it has everything. I just cant help but think you want everything and you want it yesterday. relax, people will help you.

super everything, and look for SIM unlock.
this will instruct you how to unlock from ATT (getting a code from them) then unlock.
just read it the yesterday as a matter of fact. RANGER CAPTAIN is the author of the thread. in the first post, scroll down a bit and it is listed with some MOD's.
titled "UOCKING STEPS"
once unlocked, then you can put your Tmobile SIM in. as he states this only needs to be done once. you can then flash other ROM's and the process should stick.
good luck
Thanks man sorry for being a noob lol

by the way, if you e spending a lot of time in recovery or constantly flashing something, your battery is going to SUPER SUCK.
your battery should be in the higher end of charged when flashing. recommended 70% or better. could probably get away with 55 or 60 though. again, every time you flash, you take a hit.
Ah ok but a friend of mine used it today it was fully charged went from 100% to 5% in like an hr and 45 min and i was reading on the sim unlock this phone was already unlocked when i purchased it that's how i was able to get t-mobile on this phone i get 4g but it doesn't stay connected i have to restart a lot to get it connected again and most of the time i have no bars so idk maybe i should stop buying unlocked phones lol
