I have a problem with my i9100G
I bought the phone and it was network blocked
Details:
When i insert simcard i have a zone in the phone, but i can't call or texting, because instead operator name I have text like Emergency calls only, and then my phone boots up, it does not ask for any unlock code
Phone has 4.1.2 Stock firmware with root
What i did:
1. I tried Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock and unlock code was not found
2. I tried GalaxSim Unlock and it show me that my sim status is unlocked and i have not option to unlock it
3. I tried SamsungUnlocker v1.4, copied nvdata.bin file from my phone to my pc, but failed because of my videocard unsupport(lol...), when I choose second option and pathced my nvdata.bin, moved to my phone back, deleted nvdata.bin.md5(or something like this) and restarted, but no luck, all the same
4. I flashed other modem, but no luck again
If need some screenshots, i will upload later
So I have no more ideas, how to unlock this crappy phone
I hope you help me guys
P.S. Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understood what i meant

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
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:

Hi there, this is my first post on this forum so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I have recently purchased an s3 (GT-I9300) used, on orange network. When the phone boots, the orange network logo is displayed. I rooted the phone using CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300 using odin , and i have checked, and it is succesfully rooted. This was my first root on a phone, and seemed to go well. I have not installed anything else using odin. Then I went about to unlock the phone, getting numerous unlocking apps (ariza patch, galaxsim unlock, galaxy S unlock, voodoo s3 unlock) but they all do nothing, saying they have unlocked it but my talkmobile micro sim (which runs off vodaphones network) will not work in the phone, it just asks me for a network key, then says emrgency calls only, and if i try to dial anything, says 'not registered on network'. I have not tried another sim in it yet as that was the only microsim I had.
My question is, can I unlock this phone in any other way, like would taking it to a market stall unlocker, or buying a code from the internet do the trick? and also, will I be able to install custom roms on this phone safely? Im not sure if the orange bootloader affects this in any way. Thankyou for reading, any help would be greatly appreciated

Read this thread all the way through same problem as you >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/i9300-network-unlock-firmware-version-4-t2612736n << ( it will explain things more clearly ) and look at the last two comments it as a link to a paid solution
Hi guys, I am new around here and i am facing a huge problem....
I installed a rom and bricked my phone, then I used the ODIN and installed the stock firmware version (S5660MUGKG3_S5660MBMCKG3_BMC) and the phone started to work normally.
Then after a while I turned off my phone and when I turned it on again it appear the request for the network activation code... Since then I cannot connect to any available network (I dont know if it matters but i am travelling around europe and the phone worked fine in Netherlands and Belgium but crashed when I turned off in France - my country of origin is Portugal). Any suggestion? As you notice the phone its a Samsung Galaxy Gio and the IMEI is 351825052722464.
I read something about trying to take the code with a HEX program (XVI32) but I cannot find the code between all the numbers... I will post the zip file in the attachments (I retrivied it via terminal emulator in flight mode wihout any sim card in the phone)
I needed help please.. Thank you in advance
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 locked to T-Mobile on Android 4.3 (baseband: I9300XXUGNA8) meaning it has changed the EFS parition to v2. The phone has been rooted as well. Is there any solution to remove the SIM lock? I have tried reflashing with older versions but the systems wouldn't boot up. I read that it can brick my phone completely. I tried using Vooodo unlocker and GalaxSim but error comes up, undefined. I tried EVERY SINGLE METHOD by using the codes: *#7465625# or *#197328640# but I either get Not registered on network message or some other error. In case of #0011# I can't pass the step 4 (when you type in 1 and the service should appear). The IMEI is fine, everything is fine as long as I'm on T-Mobile sim card (the signal works perfectly). I put any other foreign SIM and it doesn't ask me for the unlock code. Do you know what's the reason? I have bought an unlock code but I can't even use because any other method wouldn't work. Is there anything at all I could do? I'd really appreciate your help.

Try to flash an unbranded version, like this here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=28378
And than try it again with your code.

This particular firmware fails to flash it through Odin. I assume it's designated for GT-I9305, not I9300 ... I have tried the unbranded versions for my model anyway and I usually end up in the bootloop. Any other solution? Thx
Factory reset after Odin flash.
