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.

It amazes me some people still don't know about this. But I guess its not the norm? I know I had to call AT&T to get my Atrix unlocked free.

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.

Another way you can check is by putting another sim card in and if its locked it will tell you.

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 flashed another rom to my phone now I have slashed circle on the wireless power icon on my phone. I tried serveral roms after that no help. I tried several different sims without change. Please, help.

Any stock rom should do. And also try to use another SIM card. Your phone may also be network locked. Download galaxsim from play store and check the lock status.

I checked with *#7465625# and it says network lock off. all off.
Does it mean the phone is unlocked. In fact, I tried several stock roms no help. last one is I9300XXBLG6.
Yeah your phone is unlocked. Remove your sd card if you have one. Check your mobile network settings. Different network sims or different Sims but the same network?

Thank you very much and my best regards.
Good afternoon xda members I was wonder if any of you have had this problem with with your Samsung GS3 Unlocked Int'l. I bought one off of Amazon and the phone works fine (popped in my sim can get phone calls and all that). The only problem is I can't get 3g/HSPA+ on the handset. The best that I've gotten is EDGE. I am with Cincinnati Bell Wireless and have already put in the appropriate apn settings into the phone. If there is anyone out there with this similar problem whether you are on Cincinnati Bell or any other GSM carrier feel free to shoot any suggestions.

So apparently there is a problem with using data abroad with another provider's sim. The Acces Point setting is unable to be changed. I was told the S4 had the same problem which just recently was fixed by Samsung in a firmware update.
Nice.... Was really counting on this feature sitting here in Barbados and next week in Spain..
Any gurus here who can fix this?

Never mind. Found the fix for the S4 and same applied for our Notes. You do have to be rooted and not afraid to add a snipped of text to the build . prop file..

The 90 day thing is for the phone. If it hasn't been active for 90 days they open a case and call you in 24-48 hours depending on their work load. I had mine unlocked the day after release. It can be done from the international chat. It's different than the regular chat.

This describes how you can Flash Sprint Note 3 to Reliance/Cricket/Metro
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521369
Getting MSL is really easy using application SPCUtility.apk
http://tools.flashingtools.com/SPCUtility.apk
Now have anyone tried to take note 3 with GSM SIM unlock code outside of the US and use it with a foreign SIM?
Do you need to mod the build.prop? Why do you need to if you can access APN menu without it?
also someone above said: "but without spc cant possible to unlock it for GSM carrier."
How can you unlock GSM with SPC? just for international use of for US carriers as well?
You can acces the APN menu but you can't change anything without the build.prop change...

ok, I see the "+" button goes to the "add APN" but everything is grayed out so it can only be used to switch between existing APNs but not adding a new one.
However I've just tried to use APN manager Pro and I was able to add an APN without modding the build.prop
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ale.android.apnmanagerwithanimation&hl=en
Also from my experience with traveling with modded Sprint's Note 2, it is easier to download xml file with huge database of APNs and inject it with APN manager pro. Some lists are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35753093&postcount=3
I've attached my backup that can be restored with APN manager pro
This way when you insert a SIM card it automatically pics up a correct APN.
Plz make tools unlock gsm like s4 sprint . Waitinggggg
