Wow..... That was a mistake. But however, you should lock your bootloader back, Another thing you can try, BEFORE you search for a way to lock your bootloader is making sure your phone is actually "Unlocked" Sometimes you run a risk when you unlock your bootloader that your phone "Re-Locks" Witch sucks, and is another complete pain in the butt battle. But its the price you pay for not paying complete attention to whats going on. Go through them steps and get back to me.
saying tyvocc
And how to relock it ? can i have a tuto or something ?
i tryed with setools it says : nothing to restore
I have x10i and i have done the bootloader unlock with flashtool, but no matter what sim i put in they can all find networks... but none will allow access to networks no matter what sim. Im from SA and i every time i reboot im asked to insert sim... already have... and on boot please insert simcard and restart. Might i add that i put my wifes vodacom sim in and no luck... i put one of those red voda sims in which is blocked then on boot it is recognised but the sim stops the boot requiring a puk number cause the sim is blocked. But my point is that the sim is noticeably recognised and wont boot the phone further unless puk code inserted. But even so i want the phone open to all networks. I have messed round with s1tool but when it tells me hold control then choose firmware im lost... cause i push control and nada happens. I see there is generic for za and sa and there is a voda sa branded one when i use flashtool to run that. I have used all the sa versions i can see or am aware of... could i be missing something... im using generic world firmware version 2.1 update 1, Kernel 2.6.29, Baseband 2.1.54 and build number 2.1.A.0.435... so what to do?

How to re-lock a bootloader !!!!!!!
Same problem with me
To re-lock the bootloader you are going to have to download the latest flashtool and use the restore option. In some cases this has helped some people get their network back but in others not.
I am one of the unfortunate ones. I also have an x10i which i have recently aquired from a friend but after upgrading to 2.3.3 it has somehow lost its ability to read any sim card i put in it. There is absolutely no network lock on it at all and i see grey signal bars as if network is there but it never ever registers a sim card and permently stays on emergency calls only.
My phone i do believe was on a contract from t-mobile in germany but if i type *#*#7378423#*#* in to the keypad it quite clearly states that their is no locks on it at all.
I am quite clearly baffled as to why this is happening on an unlocked phone, and if anybody who reads this can help please send me a message

Hey guys hope you can help me.
I bought the code to unlock the network on my galaxy i9100, currently is locked to telcel mexico.
The thing is that I put in an AT&T sim card and no imput is displayed to enter the unlock code, when I put a T-Mobil sim card a blue lock is displayed saying Network Lock and a button sayin dismiss but no input to capture the code.
So what should I do? I was seaching in several posts and I think that changing the rom to another not from telcel can allows me to capture the unlock code, do you know if that is true? if so, can you tel me, what ROM is compatible to my samsung galaxy I9100 from Mexico ?
Thanks.
SIM Unlock SGS2 Telcel
Hi, I got last week my SGS2 for Telcel and I'm afraid you waste your money with the code, don't worry I also bought an usefulness code.
I did these steps:
DIAL *#SIMLOCK# (7465625) you will have a popup displaying Personalization status, the option NETWORK LOCK [YES] means your mobile is locked for TELCEL, the other options displays OFF.
IF you have NETWORK LOCK [OFF] means your mobile is SIM unlocked.
First you need to root your device, look in the forum how to do that and download busybox.
Well to unlock download from the market the app Galaxy_S Unlock market.android.com/details?id=com.helroz.galaxysunlock (it works with S and SII)
Open the app and follow steps, WARNING there are two steps for number two, I used second one.
Once finished, reboot the mobile and dial one more time *#SIMLOCK# you will have now NETWORK LOCK [OFF]
However I installed a SIM from IUSACELL it doesn't work, what worked for me was downgrade the the version to 2.3.3 reboot with IUSACELL simcard adn voila it is working. After IUSACELL simcard is accepted I upgraded to 2.3.6
You can change the version, root, no matter which change, even restore to Telcel image and the mobile will continue unlocked.
I hope it works for you, if you have any problem just let me know via DM or my twitter @D4N13L0G

What ROM is compatible, I downloaded one from the link above, one from telcel, and works fine the problem is that when I switch the sim card it says that is network locked, so I need another ROM but i dont know what is compatible with telcel, any help?
Thanks
thanks to hugeband here is the guide that he sent to me to downgrade the galaxy s2(telcel), the only proble, that I had, was that i return to android 2.3.6 from telcel, and the Rom is locking the sim card again....
to get the guide please send me a PM or to hugeband and we will send you the URL.
There's something odd, I unlock the galaxy s2 with the method described here and I am pretty sure that it is woking, since my GS2 is using now a T-Mobile sim card, well, the odd thing is when I switch the sim card for an AT&T sim card, the GS2 is still displaying the sim card error message.... I don't have the telcel rom anymore but this message is still happening. Odd thing.
Similar problem
Hi i have a similar problem. my network block is off but I still can't use my iusacell sim. The problem is that i am already in 2.3.3. What should I do?
The problem is that Telcel's modem is a locked one, so even if your device is "technically" unlocked, the modem file will keep popping that annoying lock thing.
1) Dial this from your phone*#7465625#
2) If you have the network lock off, go to next step, otherwise try to follow the second post of this threat until your network lock is off.
3) Flash any rom (or modem file if you wish to keep telcel's crappy apps) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 After carefully reading the guide posted by Intratech and then try to switch sim cards again.
*As always be very careful before flashing anything and read all of the instructions. No one can take responsibility if you mess something up except for yourself... If you follow the instructions to the letter you should have no problems, as myself and others have done this before.
*If you have any more questions please post them in this threat so more people can learn, I will not respond to PMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1075278 Not working anyother links or forum?? i cant seem to unlock mines, same telcel i tried helroz method but still cudnt work but wen i dial *#7465625# everthing is off
hello friends i was looking at the post and follow the steps and unlock the bootloader but when I noticed I did not test well and when I did, I said "NOT SIM UNLOCK RECOIGNIZED" and there I realized I had no more sign ... I can do!? Many told me that you unlock with setool2 but not how to use it because when I open it I skip a smartcard errors and I can not fix it. I put in s1tool restore, then put my stock rom and had no signal, pc repair with companion and nothing, I put android 2.1 and nothing. The only thing i could do is that phone show me companies, claro, personal and movistar when i search for networks but when I was therefore selected says "The SIM card allows connection to this network" What I can I do to Recover it and why should I sell the phone, (Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience! Sorry bad English

Just because it shows the 3 welcome screen doesn't mean it's not unlocked, just branded. If you continue past the welcome screen, are you sure your Orange SIM doesn't work? If so, what method did you use to SIM-unlock it?
Thx a lot for the reply.
Initially i have used Chainfrie's Galaxy S2 sim unlock. but didn't work. Then i have used Helroze's Galaxy_S unlock. After that i pressd *#7465625# it says
Network lock OFF
Network Subset lock OFF
SP Lock OFF
By this way i believe its unlocked. But dont know its really unlocked.
Cheers
Tony
Branded means network branding and add on .
Your is 3 branded
Locked means locked to a network unlocked and it will work on any network .

Not recognize sim first question has to be does it reconize any other sim .Second question have you entered the network settings for orange ???

By the info youve given already your phone should be unlocked. Will it not make or receive calls or is it just the web that aint working? Does the sim card work in another phone?

Kindly let me know anything else u like me to look for.

Sorry to jump on this thred but noticed the OP had the same kernel, build and baseband numbers as my newly bought S2.
Ive been looking about for the right files to download to root mine but have been puzzled by the right ones to get.

Currently on Three network also looking to unlock and debrand.
Hope you can help

Only two possible answers left .
One you have not entered your networks settings or they are wrong .
If you have then phone is not unlocked .
Simple test .
Phone works with original sim = software OK .
Other sim works in another phone = sim ok
Phone works on another network sim after network setting have been entered if not then its not unlocked phone .

thx for all your support. its working now
Hello
i have rooted my phone because i need to use a different sim. Because i was with 3 it wont let me to use a different sim even after rooting and unlocking it.
The only way if u want to use a different sim is to flash a unbranded official uk firmware on it.Because even if u unlocked the phone after rooting all the bloat ware and the fiemware from 3 wont let u use any other sim (i mean in my case.) but make sure u have already backed up the current firmware before flashing a new firmware.
Please use method only if u bold enough to do it. because if u done anything wrong it may void the warranty.Please do all this in your own risk, to overcome this use a jig u can buy from ebay. or goole it or there is lots of information about this in you tube to reset the flash counter
I will explain what i did to my phone
Step1, Rooted my phone using the method described in android authority and firmware xwlp7 which is described on the above site. here is the link for it please copy and paste on your browser then u will see the method how to do it.
http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...xMSnBw&usg=AFQjCNEAJtIUKzYLRTUMggMwJWe2V-SseA
Step 2,Once u have rooted Get the sim unlock apps from Google play, in my case the Chain fires one didn't work, use this app only once, if u use it more than once u r phone may get locked. Then i have tried Helroz's Galaxy_S Unlock and it did worked.You can check this by typing *#7465625# in u r dial pad once the app run and if u r phone is unlocked it will say sim lock 'OFF'.
But at this stage my phone wasn't working with my other orange sim . The reason was the phone was still on 3 uk firmware that's why the phone wont let me to use any other sim. So i need to find a unbranded original firm ware close to XWLP7 which was my original firmware because i don't really want to try any other firm ware.
So i have found that carphone warehouse uk was using XWLP7 firmware in their sgs2 which is same as mine. Because phones from carphone ware house can use any sim i thought this may work with any sim on my phone as well, You can get this from SAMWARE site where u can find all the firmwares for sgs2, new and old. This site is free and only need a registration. Down load it and extract it in to a folder(tar file). Once you are in the site look for the carphone ware house uk's firmware. I hope you are in Ice cream sandwich 4.0.3
Step 3, Before flashing this do a back up of your current firmware just in case if anything goes wrong , u can flash back. U can do that in recovery mode, (Turn your phone off, turn it back on again by pressing volup+home+power) U have options there to back up, once you done the back up of original firmware in the reoverymode
Step 4, Do a factory wipe/ reset
Step 5, Do a cache wipe as well on the recovery mode this will help u to do a fresh start.
Step 6, Tun the phone off again and turn it on back on down load mode( vol down+home+power button)
Step 7, Start odin which you have used to root the phone in step 1 then connect the phone using the usb cable and odin will recognise your phone (yellow colour on the left hand corner of the odin page) Once this is seen on the pda choose the firmware you have downloaded ( carphone ware house oen from SAMWARE) And make sure only reboot and F.reset time and pda are checked,make sure nothig else checked in the odin. Then let it run, this will take few mins and the phone will reboot.
Hope fully this time u don't see any 3 welcome screen, turn it off and try using the 3 sim first, it should work then try any other sim, in my case that was orange it did worked fine including mobile data so you don't have to change the APN settings for each network provider.
Thanks for the xda develpers, android authority and samware for all their hard work in providing lots of information.
Any doubt let me know. Please do not do anything unless you are really comfortable with
Thx
Go to any of the supermarkets and buy a PAYG sim from another network,{around £1.00}, youi don't have to register the sim to see if your phone is unlocked.
{EDIT} I see you said your coming from a iphone.... So that means its a cut down sim {micro-sim} card.
Parhaps it is not seated in the correct position.
Just a thought..
My phone is doing the exact same thing, can anybody help?
Originally on three UK. Got unlocked in a shop. Orange sim card worked fine. Restored to factory defaults to erase phone. Orange sim card no longer works, but phone is showing as unlocked. Every other network sim card works fine.
Its bugging me, took it back to the shop where i got it unlocked and the man said he had never seen anything like it.
Any help would be great. Thanks

wow,
I did the same with fastgsm ( its X Unlock Tool looks incredibly similar to wotans -quite identic?)
And my phone is the Xperia Ray ST18i:
ST18i detects a SIM card when booting, for I have to tip the correct SIM PIN.
Wrong PIN leads to re-asking for PIN.
Right PIN completes booting, but then there is "no SIM detected - insert SIM card and reboot".
No problem, if I only take photos, just use gps and always can use Wifi.
But sometimes I really want to use my phone to make a phone call or use 3G internet connection.
Now I heard something about 'radio something fix' in software.
Even some SIM cards should be unreadable for some ROM ???
Somebody there with more profund knowledge about that?
chorknabe1
btw, DanyBerumen,
might be better to NOT update the firmware over the air FOTA
with this I knocked out my Ray after unlocking with fastgsm.
Fortunately I found a way to fix it again... -but still "no SIM is detected" :crying:

hi guys first time here, i have galaxy s2 i9100 says claro when booting, not sure which country, it has spanish and portugues in the languages ., when i do the test for network lock, all four values say off, when i put my simple mobile Sim card , i swap the screen after starting it says network locked, and a figure of padlock, and a button of dismiss, nothing else no place or option to put unlock code, i press dismiss, and back to use all functions of the phone , but no phone service or network, i realized when i put the simple mobile card it addS gsm on the network options and it gives me t mobile and at&t as options when click any of them it fails to register to any, i gave it to my expert friend , he told me it is hardware locked for too many attempt to unlock it, and he will do software unlock , after three days he told me no way it is permanently locked no way to do it at all?? the phone runs android 2.3.4 model gt-i9100, baseband version i9100uhkg4, kernel version [email protected] #2, BUILD NUMBER GINGERBREAD.UHKG7, MY FRIEND TOLD ME IT CAN ONLY WORK ON ORANGE CARRIER WHICH WE HAVE NONE IN US, I EVEN OBTAINED UNLOCK CODE FOR IT BUT NO PLACE OR OPTION TO PUT THAT CODE, PLEASE HELP THANK YOU
You flashed a branded ROM, Claro is a mexican mobile network.
Why don't you go ahead and flash an unbranded ROM?
either way, you're gonna have to deal with the sim lock.
if you have a code, just insert a diffrent carrier on you device and the code screen will pop up when android starts.
here's a few threads that could help you with that matter:
