Hi guys,
First of all, to say that I am reading on this topic for 3 days now with no success.
I have a Galaxy 3 Mini phone, locked to O2 UK.
I tried the *#197328640# code, but the phone just shows Not registered to a network, so I cannot proceed. I searched for this, but there are only a couple of results which are not directly related to this issue. I tried it both with an O2 SIM card and with an EE SIM card.
Do you have any idea how to unlock this little device myself?
All best!

Hello,
I received a Galaxy SII I9100G as a present last april in Morocco (I'm in France right now). They told me it was an "unlocked" phone (not bought from any operator).
The phone worked wonders with my SIM card (SFR, a french operator) from april until 2 days ago. It seems like it locked itself all of a sudden and asks me a code to unblock the network. That same SIM card worked well the same morning.
Anyone to explain what happened? I'm confused since I don't understand how it can lock itself without having to change the SIM card/flash/anything...
I called SFR and Samsung France to have the code, each one tells me to call the other.
I rooted my phone and used Galaxy S Unlock, it tells me that the phone is unlocked but after the reboot nothing happens. Tried also Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock, but it doesn't find the code.
I'm quite desperate right now since I'm waiting for some important calls this week and I tried everything, every tutorial but nothing seems to work.
I really don't know what to do to unblock it, I asked for help on many forums, spent yesterday looking for solutions but still nothing.
Please tell me there's a solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help~
Samsung Galaxy SII I9100G
Version: 4.0.3 - I9100GXXLPN
PS: Actually, it does seem to work with a Meditel (moroccan operator) SIM card... Which I don't understand since it was supposed to be unlocked, hence why it worked with my SFT SIM card since april...
Hey i think some persons before you has coneckt it with a Samsung account and locked it now over the samsung dive webside. You can try to flash a new Firmeware to fix it
First, thanks for trying to help me.
I already flashed it with a new firmware (2.3.6 >> 4.0.3, always using official samsung), but still didn't work.
Unless should I go back to a previous firmware?
Any other idea please?

Hello guys , i have a problem regarding my sim card.
Recently i bought a S II from France, it had French ICS, and i wanted to reove that french stuff.
I used ODin to install JellyBean .
After installing the Rom , the phone runes well but it doesn't accept the SIM, it requieres a PIN Unlock Code. When i write the PIN it says that it failed , i've tried other operators and tried to flash other ROMs but it's useless.
Can some1 advice me, what should i do?

Hi All,
I'm hoping you can help.
I'm trying to get my Galasy S3 unlocked for GiffGaff in the UK.
I've tried all the dial pad service codes and nothing seems to work. I see Current Code 186, instead of what the guides show.
I've also flashed a few different ROMS in the hope the code would work, but nothing.
Is there a way to unlock this device now?
I used to be on Orange and am currently running an O2 based ROM version: 4.1.2
Many thanks in advance.

If it runs on O2 it will run on Giffgaff as Giffgaff uses O2 .
Is your phone actually locked and to what network .
Hi All,
I have a Galaxy S2 which is SIM locked to the '3' network in the UK. I have contacted the carrier and they have provided me with an unlock code. However, when I am prompted to insert the code when I put in a different SIM card the code is rejected. I've also tried running the GalaxySimUnlock app which also came up with the same code that I got from my carrier.
My phone was originally updated to stock ICS but I then flashed it to CM 9 and then MIUI. I initially tried the sim unlock with MIUI running. I've now returned the phone to the stock 3 image - it's currently running 4.1.2 baseband I9100NELS1.
Has anyone had this problem before or can you shed some light on what is going wrong - I thought if I contacted the carrier this would be simple!
Many thanks,
Steve
Make your PC's network is sold. You have tried many software unlocking by noon?
Hi duykhanh187,
I'm not sure quite what you mean! I have contacted my carrier and have got what they believe to be a good unlock code but it is not working.
Thank you for your reply,
Steve

Hi guys, recently i bought a used galaxy s2 from a dealer. I think it should be the international unlocked set. I updated to firmware to the latest version and formatted the phone. After that this sim network unlock pin appears. The phone is usable but no network. Anybody can help explain to me what is this thing and how to solve it. Any help would be appreciated.
