Try GalaxSim Unlock from Play Store. It was helpful for my galaxy s2

Do you have your previous backup? You completely wiped the phone or? No EFS backup?
As anlini suggested GalaxSIM Unlock should unblock it and also make a backup of needed files, but should prevent the need of similar situations (unblocking should survive on flash/wipe/etc).

1st you need to root it ! go on "original android development" find the tutorial for rooting and do it
after you root you can go to android market and search for unlock sgs2 or just type "chainfire" and you gona see the application to unlock you phones for all networks
my android version is 2.3.5 will this still work?

Not sure how to unlock SGS2, it already has ICS, could anybody advise ? Thanks
Are we talking sim unlock? If so search market for sim unlock and use the chinfire or helroz ones.
I had no luck with chainfires but the helroz one worked perfectly.
Mine was locked to orange.

I believe device needs to be rooted first ? And yes - i need sim unlock
yes both those apps need root, but should defo do the sim unlock for you. worked for me

It worked ! chainfire's failed but helroz did the job
and of course in this case you lose your warranty, right?

I'd say most of things we talking in this forum would affect the warranty

That thread shows how to install a new kernel on the device, which is great. But does that mean it is also unlocked (besides rooted)?
Thanks

Nope, there used to be an app to unlock it, downloaded it from google play store, but I think you can only find it here at xda developers now.
I think you need to Odin the i777 firmware to it before you can use the app to unlock.

[Q] How Can I Sim Unlock Galaxy S3 (GT-i9300)

Hello Guys!
I've try to cut it short.I would like to debrand (sim unlock) my SGS3, I used a tool named GalaxSim Unlocker, but it sad
"Either your nv_data md5 file is inexistent/wron or Samsung md5 function has changed. Stopping here to prevent eventual errors."
What is it? How can I fix this? or there is other method to network unlock my phone ?
HELP ME
THANK YOU GUYS BEFORE
Best way at present is to purchase an unlocking code from your network. The previously posted free methods don't work anymore due to changes by Samsung to the efs folder.

Is it possible to downgrade the rom and the modem for the one click method ?
Cost for a code varies, contact your network and a few repair ships to compare.
Yes, you could downgrade to older baseband -but only if you have a backup of your pre-MG4 efs folder and know what you're doing. Chances of bricking the phone are fair and you'll be stuck on that baseband, any upgrade will again lock the network.
That's why I said a code is currently the best option.
OK

No, it isn't. What you proposed isn't possible and wouldn't unlock the phone.

Flashing 5.0 FTF on locked BL and network LOCKED

Hello guys i have big troubles with my sony M4. I wanted to root the phone buy of course first i have to unlock the bootloader because it is on 6.0. But then i got Bootloader Unlock allowed: NO. So i tought if i change the firmware using flashtool to 5.0 i can root it using some of the premade rootkits for 5.0 and M4 but i have another problem. The phone is locked by T-mobile and they won't unlock it unless 2 years pass which is for 6 months from now, so if i install another firmware like the commercial 5.0 i think the network will not work right ? So guys do you have any other ideas how can i unlock the bootloader if the status is NO and also keep it locked within the network ? Thanks in advance.
