[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smellyskater:
Hi All,

I’ve just got myself a “bargain” from eBay that was advertised as unlocked but alas turned up with the sim lock on :(

I’ve contacted the Tmobile network in the UK and they will only send a code to a uk address and I am not there.

I have looked on this and other forums and seen that I could do it myself. I have rooted the phone and now have the yellow warning triangle on boot up. I also have CWM and Superuser icons in the Applications.

I have then tried to go onto the android app store to download Chainfires Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock. I then get the "There are no Android phones associated with this account" problem. Again I have looked at the solution to remove the phone number and re-enter it but this has not worked. I have tried several times.

I do not have Wifi and obviously can’t access the internet on the phone.

Is someone able to kindly send me the file in an email?

Once I have this done what else do I need to do to the phone? I’ve rooted it but only to the closest number I could find.

Thanks to XDA and all of you for reading this!

I'm a little slow so plese can you dumb it down... alot! ha ha

Phone: GT-I9100

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
That app only works on early version phones and may not work for you. If it doesn't you should try Helroz's Galaxy S Unlock app it works on all S II's but I believe it requires Internet to get a small payload. Which could be a problem for you unless you drive around for the first open WiFi.

It also doesn't give a code it just straight unlocks the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smellyskater:
Thanks. I have downloaded this to my computer. What do I now do with it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smellyskater:
I'm still lost... What do I do?

Please can anyone point me in the right direction!

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Place the app on your internal or external sdcard and install. Ensure you have enabled 'unknown sources' or something like it in the phone settings first. Allow it root access when prompted by the super user app.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smellyskater:
Thanks for the quick reply,

The phone is brand new to me and I don't understand your instruction. I have downloaded the file and extraced the folders and files. I have then placed this onto the card. I then go into the phone and have ticked the unknown sources box. I then try to run any of the files and only get a "No applications can perform this action" error.

If I try to run AndroidManifest.xml it opens HTML viewer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smellyskater:
Anyone Please.... :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
It's an apk, you weren't supposed to extract it. Apk files are android installation packages. Push the apk to your phone's sd card, and open it using the "my files" app to install.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smellyskater:
Thanks again. I've done that. I can find the file eu.chainfire.sgs2simunlockcode.zip in My files. When I tap on it I get the message "Open file. No applications can perform this action"

What am I doin wrong? Thanks for your patience :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You apparently somehow changed the file extension from .apk to .zip. Change it back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smellyskater:
I had to change the file extension from .zip!

I am not running the app and hopefully that will work. Wish me luck!

What else should I do to a new phone? Is there any way to get rid of the Tmobile startup screens?

Thanks for all your help, you have helped me stop pulling all my hair out and shouting at the dog!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smellyskater:
The app did not find an unlock code :mad:

Anymore ideas anyone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You can flash a stock unbranded firmware... But it sounds as if you should read a lot more educational material before attempting this. Lots of good information is in the roll up sticky in the i9100 general section. Start there, and start reading. I can't offer you any shortcuts. Shortcuts tend to lead to frustration and bricked phones.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smellyskater:
I have looked into other ways to unlock this phone...

How do I extract my nv_data.bin - I cannot find this file

-or-

Could someone please upload helroz sim unlock for me?

Thanks... back to banging my head on the wall! lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smellyskater:
I am still not getting anywhere! Please can someone help

I'm stuck now...

Thank you all
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfrrr:
Aren't there services on the web that cost abot $40 and send you an unlock code? I understand that you don't have wifi, and the phone doesn't work. But if that's the case, how r u posting here?

Edit:thid is the first result on the duck duck go search engine: http://www.unlockingcodesforphones.com/ FWIW
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smellyskater:
I have a computer with a sim card in it. I know that there are services to unlock but I am trying to avoid that cost if I can. Perhaps after I have tried all other options I will have to go that route.

Thanks

[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
If you are using Amon Ra recovery all you need to do is boot to recovery and use the superuser installation in the developers menu.
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
that didnt work. i install it... reboot and go to super user and try to update the bu or whatever and it says root fails.

ill try it again by re installed the leak completely. do you kno how to TEMP install a custom recovery so i can keep stock and recieve ota updates?
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Try flashing the full SU located here

http://androidsu.com/superuser/

Then from the Play store, install Busybox installer and get the latest.

Regarding recovery, flash AmonRA 3.15 in fastboot with unlocked bootloader. "fastboot flash recovery **filename**.img" Your HBOOT will show **TAMPERED** but that is normal.
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:

i tried it but got a weird error :/
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
all you really need to accept an OTA is to be on a relatively un-modded stock rom,and have the stock recovery.

as long as you meet those criteria,the OTA will happen. it will break root,and it will bring back all your deleted/frozen system apps,but its no biggie.

htcdev is somewhat like "s-off" in that you will always be able to re-root extremely easily by launching a recovery,and reflashing your superuser root files.

no need to relock,no real need to try and "preserve" your root with apps,as htcdev is not an exploit that is going to disapear.

when i first got my rezound,the OTA snuck in on me,and went without issue.

while you will have to re-freeze or delete system apps that come back,your other personal data,settings,and user apps will be safe and intact.

trying to take an OTA while running a custom recovery will NOT work. the results range from a simple failed OTA,a recoverable bootloop,or even a partially installed OTA wich will result in a non-functional rom. so again,make sure youre running the stock recovery.

hope that helps

[Miscellaneous Android Development] varun.chitre15:

1. For undervolting, we need kernel source

2. Yes I have added a good amount of battery tweaks so battery would last long

3. I didn't understand ur query

Hi again… :)

I want to ask you some question. And I would be really glad for the answer. :)

I want to do some modification to your rom. Actually, the modification is only some deletion to some file so the rom will be smaller and lighter. So, the questions are only about is it safe to delete some files or not. And the other questions are about what is the function of the files that I want to delete. Here is the file:

1. I delete VoiceSearch.apk in system/app.

Is it save to remove?

2. I delete ime in system/bin.

What is it? What is the function of it? Is it save to remove?

3. I delete ime in system/framework.

What is it? What is the function of it? Is it save to remove?

4. I delete VoiceDialer.g2g in system/usr/srec/config/en.us/grammars.

What is it? What is the function of it? Is it save to remove?

7. I modify bootanimation.zip and shutdownanimation.zip in system/media until these files only have one picture in their folder ‘0’. I want to make the zip smaller so it will be lighter for the handheld to boot.

Is it safe?

thanks a lot for the answers :)

[HD2 General] TacoLoco:
Hi,

I have two damaged HD2 lying around, both with broken glass but fully functional touch and display.. I found some parts at parts4repair but no good tutorial on this.. Only disassembly of HD2 but not how to remove and reattach the glass.. Is it hard to do this for a noob?

Best Regards
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdOC3Xxo_k0

The disassembly videos are what you need, because the screen/digi/glass is the very last part to come apart, and you will need to heat it to melt the glue to separate the screen/digi/glass layers. FARRRR easier to buy a pre assembled screen/digi/glass, but possible with patience.
[HD2 General] TacoLoco:
Yeah I already bought an assembled unit but I was'n carefull enough and broke the new one.. And now I don't want to spend much money again but work much more carefull.. Another question, is the glue already on the spare part or do I have to buy it seperatly?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
sorry, i dunno, but i have read some threads where poeple use some kind of double sided sticky and a very carefull hand to bond them. Time to read through the (quite a few) replacing screen threads.
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
There is nothing like glue/adhesive on these spare parts.

That's what you need:

#1 double sided adhesive tape 2mm wide;

#2 double sided adhesive tape 5mm wide;

#3 sharp eyes;

#4 surgeon hands;

#5 a lot of GOOD LUCK!(or you can use a service-guy instead of this);

#6 AGAIN a lot of good luck.

#7 optional: a hair-dryer, cutter, etc.

NB

If you don't know how to use the above, then probably you shouldn't!
