I suppose sumone can help me out here. I have bought a
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777 and its locked to the carrier. I have read the Helroz method of unlocking but some people have reported it dosent work and I dont want to try it several times and freeze my phone. People say spending some bucks and getting your phone unlocked by websites like cellunlocker.net or globalunlock.com is a good way to go. But m not sure if those can be trusted. If yes then please let me know some of the websites that can be trusted, that are genuine and fast...or any other working unlocking methods if any. It'll be greatfull

Unlocking this phone is extremely easy, all you have to do is search.
There is a thread that walks you through the whole process from start to finish. All you have to do is find it.
I really dont know where to search it..I mean there are so many threads and methods and I dont know which way to go. I'l be very greatfull if you send me the link if possible that you know will work. Please

I haven't no. I unlocked my captivate when I had one but not this phone. Read some of the posts in the thread to see if anyone is having or had problems. I would think it works as I'm sure many have used it and the directions are still there!

It works , tried on my SGH-I777 , Unlocked it on rooted stock and flashed UnNamed on it
I can also confirm it works. Used it on my AT&T SGS2. But remember you will only get edge speeds on any carrier other than AT&T.

You must say edge speeds when using a carrier like t-mobile... Which uses the 1700 band... Buf if you drop a sim that works on 850 band it's going to work on 3g or h+ if the carrier have it already..
I have unlocked my i777 using the Galaxy S unlock app.. when I cross the border I use it on iusacell gsm (mexican carrier) on hsdpa network.
Anyone know which cell companies have the faster connections in the Mediterranean? Travelling overseas for work and would like to get decent data speeds.
Which rooting method did you use? There are several methods in that thread and the download links arent working too..

Real people post in these threads. So you can trust what people say in already existing MANY rooting threads, there are even few STICKIES on rooting.
Search for rooting, just rooting, one word. Look for posts having larger number of hits and replies. I would read the first few posts by the original poster (OP) and then starting reading from the 5th last page to the last page.
If that doesn't help, repeat.
As for the download links not working, you wouldn't be the only one. So then search for words like mirror, download, link, links, db.tt, dropbox, etc If you don't find anything, post in that thread requesting for a download link for the exact file you need. You will know what file you need once you succeed in the search-repeat exercise above.

Thanx buddy Finally unlocked it..one last question. I want to use Cyanogenmod ROM. So can this be done on my phone?? I mean will it be locked again? Do i have to unlock it all again? Please let me know it in brief. If there is some procedure for phones which have been rooted and unlocked and wanting to install custom roms please let me know
Go to Cyanogen website - read the wiki. Go to Development thread - read the CM7 thread on the FIRST PAGE. But PLEASE stop asking people to do the work for you - they've already done the hard parts.

That's because, as far as I know, only T-Mo uses the oddball frequencies.
AT&T phones are 3G world phones. I've taken my various AT&T phones to Europe with 3G (including moto RAZR & BB 9000). That's the only real reason I haven't switched to T-Mobile (that and I'm on a family plan).
And Helroz unlocker works. I've used on my stock, rooted I777. Just try it. I've tried it on phones that don't work, and it just does nothing (but that's why it takes the backup anyway). When you learn how it works, you know what risk there is (if any).

Before you do anything to your phone like installing a ROM, make sure you read AND understand what you're doing beforehand. You do not sound confident enough to be modding a phone and the chance of you ending up here looking for help seems high. The procedures are all spelled out in their respective threads, so read, read and read. This place does not exist to bail people out when things go wrong because they tried doing something they didn't fully understand. And it is always better to post to an existing related thread rather than start a new one.

There are some T-mobiles phones that work also on the 850 freq. For example the Samsung Exhibit 2 4g this one will work on t-mo and att.
Newbie ?: I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I couldn't figure out the answer clearly after doing a search. I currently have the S3 with Sprint and am using a custom ROM. I want to switch to T-mobile (b/c their service is better in my area) and I know that I will have to get a new S3 that works on their GSM network. My question is will the same ROMs that worked on my Sprint S3 work on my Tmobile S3, or are roms carrier specific? Thanks

I have purchased and activated a Samsung Galaxy s3 from Straight Talk model number SCH-S960L. My first question is am I able to flash from Straight Talk Sprint to Straight Talk Verizon. Second question is, since I have activated the phone will I be able to flash it at all. I have searched and searched the forums everywhere for an answer to these questions. If anyone could give me some assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx
Ghost
Interesting questions I would also like to know. I'm fairly new to this, but my two cents on this topic is this: from what I know the sch-s960l uses sprints network so if u flashed to verizon I'm not sure 4g would work because they are on different frequencies. Otherwise I wld also like to do this cuz sprint sucks in my area so no 4g for me anyway. But I believe you can still flash after activating I don't think that matters. We need a rom that will not brick our phones or hinder any features while also getting the new s4 features (hint hint). I've said b4 will say again...I WILL DONATE to anyone who can help with our sch-s960l issues

So this is what im trying to figure out I know my Galaxy note 2 sch-950 is locked and not rooted what do I have to do to make it work for straight talk, cricket, or boost mobile preferably because boost dont throttledown their data that I know of. Somebody help us out and let us know whats up bc I have been digging for awhile not and havent real answer and sorry in advance if I posted in the wrong area I could find a USCELLULAR forum and this looked like an ok place to post. Also thanks for any and all help
I recently got a galaxy note buts its the tmoble version t879, and i wanted to know if i can run these roms on the t moble version, there are no roms on the tmoble version of the note's page. I mean that page is beyond dead. i did some research and found out the i717 can run t879 roms because the phone are about identical, only the i717 have lte. so if this page is alive can someone tell me if i can run these rom on my t879, you would be great help.
Another question im using a att sim card in the t879, and it was working fine when the phone was stock, but after a put a new rom i no longer get service at all. sould a flash an att modem?
Thanks in advance:laugh:

As far as I know, they are 100% compatible. Many folks rum them on Tmobile. I beleive you other issue is the same as everyone else too.
You will just have to flash away with different modems to find one that works in you area.
I am not the modem master, but I saw this post a couple days ago and still no answer for you.
Flashing the different modems will not hurt you. They either work or they dont.
Good luck. Run a search
