You can always buy an unlock code. That's a simple way!
I called ATT and they unlocked it!

I used the thread that guides you into using the different radio and dialing in some codes to unlock mine. It's here on xda all you have to do is search for it. Don't forget to flash your radio back after unlocking.

I just sold my Wildfire Buzz, which I successfully rooted.
Soo I think the ACE is logical and cheap upgrade for me.
Just wondering if I root this phone will it unlocked (from the three network)too or is that something separate?
And is their anything I should look in regards to this mobile?

Maybe thw whole section
Seriously, it's a very good handset,with a growing dev community. Worth to buy on my opinion.
Ah,no troubles after rooting, it will be simply more powerful!
Cheers!

Nothing changes on network side....
Just beware not to grant network access to any app to avoid unwanted network connections. Also use apn droid widget which will switch off any connection.

He is asking if you can unlock the phone from Three network. I believe you have to buy an unlock code though, have seen people bricking trying to use a root app to unlock.

Thanks! I've installed the Vanila Custom Rom. But I can't find any Arabic support. Any ideas?
Can we unlock the. ATT Galaxy S 2 using the unlock app?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Same question here. Mine will get here on Tuesday...I do know there are a bunch of methods to sim unlock i9100 though.
So... long story short, the GS2 still uses nv_data.bin files like on the GS1.
Of course, Samsung has encrypted/obscured plain text access to the unlock codes within this binary file. However, I do believe the folks over on the i9100 forum have figured it out, so it's probably not going to be too much of a stretch to get the AT&T GS2 to work too.
The phone literally just dropped though, so give people a few days to actually get the devices in their hands, get nice stable root and all that (already done maybe even), and from there, carrier unlock will come.
Or, if you're the impatient type, and don't mind the chance of screwing something up, try some of the methods from the i9100 forum and see if they work!
I used the galaxy s unlock app from helroz, worked like a charm. Can't post a link but it's on the market.

That's awesome. May I ask whether you had rooted your S2 before you ran the unlock program?
Thanks a billion.

Yup, rooting is required to unlock.
Sorry, I'm fairly new to the term "unlocking" phones. Does this mean that you can use with any carrier? Is there anything else that "unlocking" a phone does that a normal one can not?
Thanks in advance!

Try this method. I used this method on my Vibrant and it worked for me. So might as well give it a try.

Make sure you're rooted. It won't work otherwise.
Make sure your rooted! Go to market search SGS unlock, find the one from helroz. Follow it step by step. I unlocked my vibrant and captivate with it. Then get sim from other provider put it in reboot. You might have to go in to settings mobile network search and select network.

That is all you can do when you "unlock" your phone. You remove sim card based carrier restrictions. Once unlocked you can take an att phone and put in a tmobile sim and it might work! But that's all it can do.
You might be thinking of giving your phone "root access" if you want to do more. Once you root a phone you can remove preinstalled software or bloat. You can install custom roms. You can enable tethering when you might not of before... and so on.....
Rooting and unlocking are two different things. I hope this answers your question.

I figured you knew what rooting was because you have a decent amount of posts. I just wrote it so anyone uneducated would understand a lil better.
I just got another mega, this time I got a Att version. I spoke with a customer service rep. and got my unlocked code bcuz I purchased full price, I ask her about bloats ect ect. Ok this is what she told me, once I have unlocked my phone I have full control of my phone.. Hmmm really? I dont know if she knew what i was talking about.. then I ask about secure bootlock portion of the phone, she reply once your unlocked you could do what ever you want...:what:
I have the unlocked code, how would i unlock the darn thing? every phone is different ways to do it.
I want to know if its true or not that once unlocked we can do what ever including custom rom...

What I think you got from her was the network unlock code, all that does is allow you to move to another provider using the same phone.
So whats the difference between network unlock and phone unlock?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I527 using Tapatalk 4
Network unlock is as above ^, the bootlock you mentioned in your first post is there to stop you removing their software, it's not something that you can change with a code. You need to remove the boot lock before you can replace the os with a custom one. Before you attempt to do anything like this I advise reading up on it, you don't want to brick another phone. The information is easily found by using google search.

No boot unlock yet so no custom recovery or custom ROMs.
I am talking about the I527 btw!
