Firstly apologies if this is in the wrong topic or been asked before
My dad has a Galaxy S2 on TMobile UK and it works well.
I originally bought it last year, it was unlocked as it worked when I stuck my 3 SIM card in.
The device was then rooted and then I flashed this leaked JB Rom
Today my dad got a new Ovivo network SIM but the device said SIM unregistered, oddly enough so did my 3 SIM give the unregistered SIM when I tried it and was asking for a SIM network unlock code
But when I tried both SIMs in my Optimus 4x they worked fine.
My first thought was maybe the ROM flash re-activated the Network lock.
So I rooted the S2 and flashed another ROM but still only the TMobile SIM works and the other SIMs get the Unregistered SIM messages
I also tried some unlocking apps like Galaxy S2 SIM unlock, and Galaxy S unlock but to no avail
Can a network lock "reactivate" itself? and would I have to contact TMobile to unlock the device?

I was sure I had tried that one but thought, what the hell lets try it again.
What I did last night was flashed the device back to UK generic stock ICS and let it update itself to stock JB
This morning I rooted the device and installed that APK on Mr Killers post.
Lo and behold one touch and it was unlocked!!!
Thank you very much!!

No Problem dude
that APK is from XDA which is working 100% the version which is on Google Play needs you to pay and then it unlocks
Gotta say as well it was really quick!!
The other unlock apps take time and try generating a code. This was just root and one touch unlock

Root your device & unlock it again.

My device is already root, i've the CM10.1 since 5/6 months x). But with ICS (CM9) I had already unlock my phone but with JB, he's left...
Unlock it again, you're not making any sense.
Galaxysim unluck will permanently unlock your device.

You're right, I tried it and it works.
Anyway it's a paid solution: Costs 3,69 EURO and it unlocks Samsung Galaxy S2 in an instant.
Latest Android 4.1.2 it doesn't matter after all. All you need to have before installing GalaxSim Unlock is SuperSU and BusyBox, these 2 are mandatory for a good functioning of GalaxSim application.
Thanks u So much

i spent hours looking thru forums and the play store etc to unlock my s2,found this,it worked spot on,a big thank you.m3vuv.
Hi guys, I have an old S4 that I would like to SIM unlock. The phone is not on my contract so I cannot call up verizon and ask them for the SIM unlock code. I have been doing some reading and if I can get into the service mode or service menu there appears to be a setting to do this.
My ultimate goal is to use this abroad later this year with prepaid SIM cards in different countries.
From my reading, the service codes were blocked by Samsung/Verizon at some point. My questions is what version of Android and what modem allowed service menu access? I have tried KK and L with the MK2 and MDK modems but no go.
*Edit*
I should mention that I have tried the hidden menu enable MOD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303905
But, again I think this is dependent on the ROM/Modem version, no?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

OK, have another question. On the MDK radio I was able to SIM unlock the device. If I upgrade the radio to a newer version will I lose the unlocked SIM state?
Thanks, Matt.

Looks like the SIM lock state survives a modem flash - I tried flashing NK1 and then back to MDK and it persisted. I did this because now I'm having an issue where my unlocked phone only gets data and cannot make phone calls. Says voice is out of service but data is in service. But SIM in another phone works just fine.
Tried a few things but no go. I'm about to leave the country today so I guess I'll find out when I get abroad and try a GSM SIM, unless anyone has any comments on this.
Thanks, Matt.
I've been able to successfully flash CM13 but during setup it says it can't find SIM card. My phone came with 5.1 so it has the proper modem firmware files. It's a Sprint XT1526. I had to revert to a backup of 5.1 to use the phone features.

Sprint sim? Did you try toggling radio modes with network app? Just throwing out ideas - haven't run into this with my Sprint branded device using the included sim on ringplus. But that device is on an older resurrection remix build.

It appears to detect my sprint SIM however I am in Canada and use a different SIM.
EDIT: Changing the preferred network to LTE/GSM/CDMA doesn't stick.

Are you sim unlocked? It's my understanding (maybe incorrect) that the Sprint version can be used on gsm outside the US, but you'll need to unlock it with the msc code. I got my msc from Sprint via a help chat online, but you can also get it by signing up for ringplus - they give it to you as part of the sign up process.
I've never had a non us sim to test - did you get a prompt to enter the code when you put in the Canadian sim? I don't know how to force the msc prompt.

It's not locked and works fine on stock android. Never needed to enter a code. I also unlocked the bootloader and rooted it.

Oh, gotcha - a SIM that works fine on Stock ROM doesn't work on CM13. I hope someone else can point you in the right direction - I don't know, as I pretty quickly gave up on my Sprint model (left it to languish as an emergency CDMA phone on ringplus free plan) and picked up the USCellular version to use routinely, as the $40 it cost was way cheaper than my time and frustration with trying to get the Sprint model working on ATT.

Hi I'm no one to comment since I don't have the Sprint Variant though I have the unlocked GSM Variant. I have experienced this. Just wait for a while after the first setup. That's what I do and eventually it detects my SIM

You mean wait at the SIM not detected on the setup wizard or after setup? I've had the phone on long enough after setup that if it was going to detect it, it should have already.

Hello all,
Just purchased LG K7 (Walmart Family Mobile variant, model# K330) and tried to unlock for use on T-Mobile now that all WFM phones are SIM locked. Received a code from cellunlockerpro but the instructions to unlock (2945#*model number#”) don't work to open the dialog box needed to enter the code. Phone has a pre-installed unlock app which checks the eligibility prior to unlocking. Is there anyway to bypass the app and go through the dialer or service menu to unlock somehow? Thanks for any information/advice.
I bought the same phone yesterday for the same purpose. You need to search the forums, and download lgup, lgup_k330 T-Mobile, and WEB_K33010h_00 T-MOBILE.kdz. Follow instructions on the install, and flash that file. It will boot back up connected to T-Mobile. No unlock code needed.
Let me add as I am sure you know I had rooted, and unlocked the bootloader.
Hi Augie1832. Im totally new to this and quite clueless. I run into the exact same problem. Can you be more specific, maybe showing step by step of how to fix this issue. Highly appreciate. Thank you

Okay, so if I flash this .kdz to the MetroPCS (ms330) variant using LGUp then I will be network unlocked or have switched networks to TMobile from MetroPCS; bypassing the factory installed device unlock application which was originally on the MetroPCS K7? Forgive me Im trying to verify before I attempt this.

Its possible, but more likely that you would just brick your phone if you tried flashing a firmware that wasnt for your exact model phone. Mostly because they use the partitions for different things. Never a good idea to flash firmware onto your phone thats not actually for your phone.
Freaking works!! I got the walmart tmobile version and then flashed the phone with the official tmobile dz stock rom and BOOM i finally got service on my phone with a tmobile sim card lol

U do know after having this phone on metro for 30 to 60 days all you have to do is call them and they will unlock it for free. Every phone i have get from metro I unlock and still have piled up just in case I or someone needs one loll. I have everything from galaxy avant to core prime to LG k7. This is my favorite part about metro you buy a phone you actually buy and keep for any carrier

OK what I mean is can it be done successfully (porting, etc.)? I want the wifi tethering (aka hotspot) feature that exist on all international variants of the phones, not locked by the stupid US carriers trying to rip-off it's customers by making you pay again for the same data you already purchased.

Do you have Att though? I think he's referring to using the att model on another network like I am doing as well. I'm using on tmobile and some users report, after having to edit system configs to be able to even turn on hotspot without an error, that they don't have any data once connected.

Hello Guys,
I can't see how could be possible to download a "Porto Rico" (H820PR) software in ATT version.
Normally, Bootloader checks if region code matches before flash.
Could you please explain more about this procedure?

Its not more of the bootloader, but Antirollback. This works perfectly on older LG's like the G2, G3, G Pro, etc.
