hi guys, i just got robbed from a thief, is there a way to find my galaxy s2 bought in France SFR operator running ICS with CF-ROOT(chainfire)?
I already reported to the police station, and blocked my sim card from my operator.
I just remembered that i have also samsung dive on my phone so what i am trying to say is:
if my thief recharges my phone battery and without sim card can i localize my phone?
or if he changes the sim card with his one, is then possible to track with samsung dive? or even make a call remotelly?
is there a way to track my phone with my imei code?
is it true that if i report my phone loss in France it will be blocked only here and works in all other country?
where do i check to see if police did a good job (block my phone imei)?
any other help are all welcome!

That`s bad news sorry to hear that, it would definitely help if you would have cerberus installed which is a brilliant phone locator and remote control app but since you haven`t you can try to go to the Samsung Dive website of course and try to find it through it but I never tested Samsung Dive so I can`t tell if it will work.
The key is to be quick now, and just hope that he doesn`t know what`s Odin and that he has no knowledge of flashing other firmwares. Try to install this App if Samsung Dive doensn`t help:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb&hl=de
you can just install it from your computer and if the thief is still connected to your gmail account it will be automaticly installed on your phone and it will send the current Phone - position to your gmail address. Just install it and read the instructions.
Good luck with finding your phone mate
now it is mather of time and luck, thanks budy, i try to refresh samsung dive every day to see if someone turn it on
DIVE should be able to help, with the restriction that it needs a data connection of some kind (mobile packet data, or WiFi) to send the commands to your phone. I've configured Tasker to turn my mobile data on daily to anticipate this (I normally keep both mobile data and WiFi turned off, to maximise battery life).
nice tip, i will try to do the same next time
If I would steel someone's phone , I would ask xda same questions no offence dudes.

Bad news mate, hope you find it
If you do manage to get it back I've heard Prey anti-theft is pretty good
Hello! First time poster here. I'll start with a quick overview:
My mum had a galaxy s2 on an orange contract. She's decided to give it to me. However, when I put my tesco mobile SIM in the phone and try to call it says 'Mobile network not available'. I tried to see if it needs unlocking by dialling #SIMLOCK# but I got the same message.
How do I fix this problem? Is this a case of me needing to unlock the phone? My mum has never gone on the internet with the phone and so won't have installed any new firmware etc.
Sorry if this comes across as a simple question. Any help appreciated!
Yeah it is simple.
Root phone,backup efs then use helroz unlock tool.
Hi, I am looking for some help/advice about a Samsung Galaxy s2 (GT-i9100).
I purchased this phone new and unlocked in the UK back in October 2011 and have been using it fine over the last few months. Recently I gave this phone to a friend who was going traveling in India.
She bought an AirTel sim and used it in the phone for the past several weeks, however, last week she woke up and the phone was asking her to enter a “Network Access Lock Control Key”, and she can no longer use the phone or data (wifi still works).
I’ve done some research and it appears that the phone has somehow locked itself to a network. So I am now trying to figure out how to help her restore connectivity.
I know you can buy unlock codes online, however, we don’t know what provider the phone has locked itself to and all the unlock websites I’ve been on need you to specify the network provider. Is there any way of finding this out?
I also know you can get apps from the app store to unlock, however, you need to be rooted to do this, and this isn’t an option due to where she is at the moment.
So, does anyone have any advice or suggestions?
She has been to AirTel and they don’t know what is going on, she also took it to an official Samsung store who did a full firmware re-install but the phone still appears to be locked. Would this code be available from Samsung?
Any advice or suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks.

Tell ur friend to do the below and see if it resolves the issue
1)Turn off the phone and then remove 'Simcard'
2)Turn ON the phone without 'Simcard' and let it boot completely.
3)Turn Off the phone again and this time put the 'simcard' back.
4)Turn ON the phone with 'Simcard' and let her have 'Finger's Crossed' and pray god not to give the same issue until she leaves INDIA

I think you need to be rooted: he says thats not an option.
Sorted out now
Thanks for the suggestions but we managed to sort it out now.
After much research we rooted the phone using cwm-touch (ver 6.0.1.2-i9100) and the SU-Busybox installer zip.
We then used the GalaxySim unlock app from the app store to unlock the phone, all seems to be working now!
Hello guys I have a problem with meh galaxy s3. 4.1.2

Usual suspects: factory reset, bad sim, network issue, corrupt rom. Check you have auto network selection.
