Hi there,
First of all, my name is Ivan, and I am not english native speaker, I am spanish, so apologies in advance if my writing skill is a bit weird.
I had been looking for a way to unlock the S8+ (AU Japanese version, SCV35 AU KDDI), the websites with remote IMEI unlock are not working, so the only chance is by AU company directly, or maybe changing the stock ROM.
One of the biggest problems with AU in japan is prices are kind of ridiculous every month, for 2 phone lines I pay close to 300 dollars each month (One line with a crappy 1 GB of data), also the share wifi option is disable as they try to make you pay for it, (when I made the contract they were offering it for free, even if I told them I want it, it's still not working).
Anyway, I supposedly found a way to unlock it, it is a guide in a unknown language for me.
I have to use google translator, basically what they say is that:
We need a full ROM of the docomo network (other carrier in Japan).
They include the S8 roms codes, in this case SCV35 - SC03J. They also recommend use Samfirm for the latest updates of the ROM.
After flash the docomo ROM (SC03J), I guess with the home CSC file? (help here), one the SIM status is updated as SCV31?? (they say something about introduce a SIM), the phone will ask to introduce a code (00000000).
Now we just turn off the phone and flash it back to the AU SVC35 stock ROM, and supposedly the phone will be unlocked, and the mention in this second flash, do not remove the CSC. (I guess we will flash it back with the normal CSC, not the home CSC).
Actually I don't know if its properly working, if someone know if can works, looks dangerous, or something else I will be glad to read it, as I need to get rid of this SIM card as soon as possible.
If someone help me to clarify this I will be glad and this can probably help more people in my situation.
Thank you all.

I am currently living in Japan and have just picked up a new HT1100 (Touch Dual) on the Docomo network.
This is my first smartphone/PDA and I am very happy with it except for the language problem.
The entire system is in Japanese and I would like to change it to English. I have tried asking Docomo who didn't have a clue what to do and it seems that the original English software has been completely removed and replaced with an all-Japanese ROM.
I have never changed the ROM on a smartphone before but I am willing to give it a go but I have a few questions which I can't find answers to by searching -
1, Would it be better for me to try and find an English language pack (if one exists)?
2, If I do have to change the ROM completely then which would be the best one for me?
3, If everything gets screwed up then what are my chances of unbricking it and putting the original Japanese software back on?
4, If everything goes to plan and I change the software to a hacked version can I still use my Docomo sim card in it? Or is there some kind of security check between the sim card and the phone that means the card will only work with the Docomo ROM?
Sorry for all the questions but I'm a bit of a newbie at this and don't want to ruin a brand new phone that I am otherwise so happy with!
Read the Sticked Thread about HardSPL and make all Steps!!!
Read 10 Pages of the Thread befor you try this. Then you know all errors you can have and it prevent use for the same questions they all ready posted hehehe
After that ... looks around for a Favorit Rom and try it! If you have a Problem ... read the first 10 Pages of the Thread!

neon 100
japanese ht1100 code name is neon 100 not niki,
so do not flash niki radio or rom to ht1100(neon 100).
Thanks for the replies!
I will certainly read each step carefully before I flash the phone with new ROM.
But before I do I just want to check one thing to be completely clear - are you saying that after I put on this new homebrew ROM I will DEFINITELY be able to use my Docomo sim card in it without any problems?
Also, what settings would I need to enter on the new phone to use it properly? ie, when I flashed normal phones in the past I needed to re-enter all the MMS/internet settings. Is it the same with these smartphones or are there any other settings I will need to get?

2, If I do have to change the ROM completely then which would be the best one for me? I think your device is a Neon, if i'm correct that i think i'm the only one cooking Neon Roms .
3, If everything gets screwed up then what are my chances of unbricking it and putting the original Japanese software back on? Dump your original Rom before doing anything that way you can always manage to flash it back.
4, If everything goes to plan and I change the software to a hacked version can I still use my Docomo sim card in it? Or is there some kind of security check between the sim card and the phone that means the card will only work with the Docomo ROM? Is your phone Network locked? Have you tried a sim card from another Network?

hi,I have same handset with you , and have flashed english rom , if you want to flash any english rom,I think you will cannt use docomo network mms, hi-speed data plan etc.
and cannt accesse internet. so, must dump docomo original rom before flash other english rom. good luck.
I don't know if my phone is network locked as I have not tried another sim yet but I wouldn't be surprised if it it.
Actually, after mailing HTC Japan they have pointed me in the direction of an English language pack sold by another company. I have to wait another 24 hours before I can use it but it looks promising - http://www.cfcompany.co.jp/product/mobem/mobem.html
If Aten is right then flashing the phone will be no use to me if the Docomo sim card doesn't work.
I will wait and try this language pack to see how that works out. Maybe after that I will consider flashing the ROM.

The MMS and Connection settings are store either in *.Rgu files or *.Xml files on the Rom, not sure which ones. I had the same issue with my Telstra branded Rom, the network settings were built in so i couldn't connect to any other network. If you dump your rom and upload it up i can have a look and extract these settings for you.
Cheers
Well that language pack software arrived last night and I installed it without any problems.
It all seems pretty good. Not everything is translated but its enough to make the phone useable for me.
The only major issue I have is that it seems incompatible with the whole Touchflo interface. The touchflo will not open my videos or, photos or music files any more. I cannot use the Touchflo shortcuts and it seems I am also unable to set an MP3 as my ringtone/alarm etc.
Is there something I could change to make this work?
I am busy with work for the next few days but will see if I can upload this ROM on the weekend.
Alrighty, same deal as Diamond, here's the Touch Pro / Fuze SIM Unlocker :

Security Relocker
hey all, we (olinex) got many requests for a security relocker
so now, you can easily do it
steps:
1. make sure you have stock radio flashed already. (i.e. not the one that unlocker flashes)
2. also make sure your radio is ON
3. download this attachment, extract, put it on your device, execute it
4. it should say relock was OK, and then you're done. if it says error, then reboot, retry, and again make sure radio is turned on (check in comm manager).
what if i just want to unlock security? still have to pay?
Good question since my TP isn't sim locked either

Security unlock ?
Hi guys,
Could somebody explain me what is the security lock ?
As far as i know, SIMlocking is depending on the provider who sells you the phone. For example, here in Belgium, it is forbiddent to SIMlock a phone, so my raphael is already SIM unlocked. Otherwise I would have to use the tool proposed here for it.
Concerning CID unlock, I would have to replace the SPL with HARDSPL if I wanted my raphael to be in SuperCID mode (stop me if i am telling craps).
But i have never heard about a security lock. What is the purpose of it ?
My previous device was a wizard, and I just needed to CID unlock it to flash any rom on it. But it seems that things have changed...
Thanks in advance for your answers,
j

it's an MSM7xxx thing, allows you to do extra things like flash a diamond radio on raphael.
hardspl is not making your device truly supercid, but that is just a theoretical difference between hardspl and the real cid unlock, so do not worry.

Ok... I'm a really noob.
Let's say i have a brand new Touch Pro, do i need a security/CID-Unlocked Touch Pro to do Hard-SPL? I just want to flash it with the newest roms. I don't mind donating money for XDA, but i'm just really confuses right now..

You do not need a security unlock to flash the newest roms, but you DO need to Hard-SPL. Once Hard-SPL is installed, your device is CID Unlocked, and then you can install any rom or radio rom (as long as it's a Raph radio!) that you want.
A SIM unlock lets you use SIM cards from other providers, ie if your phone is locked to a provider, after a SIM unlock, you will be able to use sim cards from other providers.
I haven't seen too much about security unlock, as far as I know the only use for that at the moment is to install say, a radio from a Diamond onto your Raph...
Hope this helps...

Some Clarification Please...
I just want to get it all straight in my own mind before I "brick" my new phone inadvertently.
I have a new touch pro supplied by Vodafone UK. I want to do two things:
1. flash the latest roms to my phone
2. use various sim cards (some non Vodafone) from time to time
I thought that if I flashed HardSPL and then my chosen rom I could accomplish these two objectives?
from what i've read it appears that I could achieve point No.1 but to be able to use different sim cards I need to pay for some sort of unlock code?
can someone please confirm that my understanding is correct?
Many thanks.

HardSPL will allow you to flash different ROMs.
If your handset is locked to vodafone (which they normally are when you get them from a telco) and you want to use Sims from other telcos, then you will also have to use the SIM Unlock tool referred to at the beginning of this thread.
Thanks for the info apd...
as a matter of interest I tried a BT sim card in the phone and it works no problem so it appears that Raphs supplied by Vodafone UK are not 'locked' into only accepting their sims!
hi all. i will buy tomorrow an hd2 which is locked on vodafone Romania. can you tell me if there is a sim unlock for free? if it's not, which website or "way" is safer to use it for unlocking? also, if you know a cheaper one i don't mind . I need to be unlocked fast (let's say in 1h after i pay, maximum). Thank you very much.
P.S. i've tried to search on hd2 thread but didn't find nothing about this.
that should be possible
search how to preform a HSPL install and how to update ROM
There is no free sim unlock solution , hspl install does not unlock sim .
Contact korter_gsm on ebay
He sent me a code in less than 2 minutes.
ok. i will contact him.
i saw now his posts, but a little problem that i have is that I don't need to unlock T-mobile version, but European version (vodafone romania). do you know any other place?
P.S. does anybody know something about this website?
or about this website?
HI there. Its korter_GSM from Ebay.
Regarding Vodafone Romania HD2 want to tell you. I have all HD2 codes including newest ones with IMEI 038 and 039 in the middle. But as you may already read somewhere, there are some operators that relocked the phones after receiving them from factory. So as we are providing only Factory codes, for some operators it may be wrong. Tmobile USA and many other operators dont have this issue and code for them are 100% correct. For Vodafone Romania i never checked.
for example. For A1 Austria Factory codes are wrong!
If any other question, contact me at Email [email protected]
or MSN [email protected]
i've made it in Romania, with 25 euro. thx all!
Hi Guys, I know this isn't the right location for this thread, haven't got high enough post count.
I have a Voda Au branded sgs2 with kernal version DUKF2. Tried to unlock with Odia's method, Chainfire app, even spent a few (wasted) bucks on the 123unlock app.
And as expected Voda is dragging their feet to supply a sim unlock code.
Also, my nv_data.bin looks different from some of the others posted in Odia's thread...yes i rooted the phone and got it from /efs/nv_data.bin, copied to sdcrad ..etc.
Is it possible sammy have caught on and changed something?
Any help appreciated. Cheers.
Weird that voda simlocked, my Optus one arrived completely open. I'm sure you've confirmed it's locked before spending any time on this but what does the following code give you for the 4 lock values?:

Hey I also have a vodafone sg2... can you help me root it? I understand the procoss but unsure on the firmware to use... any help? Mine is KF2 however its a model I9100T... does it matter can someone give me some help?
I think that Voda are just mean pricks. The Network lock is on and the other 3 (sub, SP, CP) are off.
Unrealtb, I used the latest CF_Root - V4.0 firmware, rooted it, the restored the original DUKF2.

No worries.
I think I've worked out my problem...
New Hardware Version - MP 1.300
New Radio Version - SP6260_U1_01.1121_DB110525
New Unlock Method
Now just need to wait for a solution.
I just rooted mine now and lashed Villain Rom. Running the SGS2simunlock app now see what it returns. Will let you know results, mine is also from Voda
Hrm... I wonder if it's not working because you possibly have the GT-I9100T and most of the unlocking work was done on the I9100? I remember reading Intra was quite shocked at how much larger the stock firmware for voda was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14838150&postcount=6. Still not entirely sure of what the difference is.
So it seems no unlock code found! i believe Voda's was bigger because they had like 7-8 extra apps installed, plus Voda's came with Navigon preinstalled
I believe Odia is working on a solution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133069
We should have a better idea once Telstra release theirs.
Weird thing though, *#2222# shows HW version 1.2, but looking at the .bin file it shows 1.3
Hey sorry for the newb question, what are you trying to are you trying to use the phone ok n other networks? unlock?
Have you tried http://vodafone.com.au/unlock
Thought it's free to unlock vodafone?
No I do not have this handset but thinking about it and going to vodafone, but if it's locked and there's no solution yet, I'll just wait awhile

Hi everybody,
First let me Say that I am French, so excuse me in advance for my bad english...
I acquired a Samsung S3 bought in South Korea, model: SHV-E21OL/Version Android 4.0.4, LTE (and therefore compatible 3G/4G)
Back in France, I have inserted my micro SIM card sfr Telecom, perfect: internet ultra fluid 3G, incoming / outgoing calls ok, everything works except for two points:
- When I send a text message, it is written "address unknown" as the sender of the message. A bit annoying when you do not know who writes ...
- Despite a reconfiguration with services sfr telecom, no way to send / receive MMS.
I tried with another SIM card, nothing happens. But my SIM cardworks well for SMS and MMS in another phone. Then it is therefore a bug of the phone ...
You know how to fix this?
Samsung customer service pointed me to a authorized service center, but they tell me that before flashing my phone, I must sign a waiver in case of crash the phone making its use impossible and non-repairable. No thank you ...
In short, you'll have understood I am a bit stuck, and looking for a way to fix this bug.
Do you have a solution, a board, info? updates posted by Samsung France can they solve the problem? a compatible custom Rom
I am completely new to this, I read the procedures to reconfigure my phone, but the words wipe, roaming, etc. This is perfect Korean for me! :laugh:
Thanks in advance to all who will be able to help me ! :good:
try changing your message center number . it could be the problem
