Sim Network Unlock Pin

My factory unlocked i9100 is now locked!! I'm asked for a "Sim Network unlock Pin".

I've read multiple forums that recommend buying apps that'll unlock it provided my phone is rooted.

How could an unlocked phone get locked by installing the official firmware?? I don't want to root my phone or buy an app not knowing whether it'll work. I have manually upgraded my phone previously and never had this issue.

Would flashing official firmware for UK solve this?? I've read people saying downgrading doesn't help either.

You could try this thread. I've not used it myself so I can't guarantee that it'll work.

I think i found a bug. The touchwiz msg notification does not reset when a text thread is opened. You need to select am individual text message to clear it.

Anyone else notice the same thing?

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

don't use an app that will "unlock it" as its already factory unlocked you shouldn't pay for something that you already got, its like crushing a nut which is already crushed. not necessary at all.

If you have an efs folder from ICS you should be able to restore it, however just make sure you got a working one, else your IMEI can get messy
[Galaxy S II General] Mikros:
So there is no way to recover it? Or re-install it?
[Galaxy S II General] Encore1106:
I just flashed JB and then PhilZ kernel in .zip and all I got is SU, no more apps. I think it exactly what you want.

Tried to flash Siyah 6 and I couldn't boot, it stucked at Samsung logo.. while loading, then disappeared, later again showed up, blue circle, glowing SAMSUNG, disappeared and again and again.. :/

hi

i am pretty much newb at rooting and flashing.

i flashed the official jelly bean on my samsung s2, now i want to root it!

But i have a problem, i dont have sd card in my phone, so i have to flash using internal card.

In recovery i only have :

apply update from adb

apply update from external storage.

appy update from cache

When i chose "apply update from external storage" i get E:Failed to mount / sdccard ( No such file or directory )

I didnt tryed the two other options, as i dont have what they do/mean.

p.s. i hope that u guys dont mind that i asked this question in another thread too
[Galaxy S II General] --Yo--:
Nothing to do, all jellybean release lock your phone, it happened to me too. You have to unlock it again, there is no way to reverse it.

The app called galaxsim unlock tells you if it can unlock it BEFORE you pay for it, you should try it. Root is required but it's easy to get.

You should use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877270, you can use the .tar file to have CWM (clockwork mod recovery), and then you will have the "install from internal sd card" option.
[Galaxy S II General] :
he should be able to restore it using a EFS restore, however if he didn't have a backup thats to bad. i was able to make my phone sim locked (as i got, unlock code for carrier) but i made a EFS restore and i was able to get passed that.

So yes he can bypass it with restoring IMEI from ICS if he has a backed up IMEI, may take some time but its worth it and not pay for something hes not needed to. stop advertising my friend

Re: ***[OFFICIAL] JellyBean 4.1 Discussion thread [XWLS8]***

Are we all sure this is an official ROM and not a test build because it feels unfinished. Apps disappear on reboot if they're on the SD card, no multi view and no ripple effect. Yes, it seems more stable than the previous release but I think Samsung could have done better if this is the final release.
[Galaxy S II General] gevans35:
Are you saying that an unlocked phone, that was not supplied by a mobile operator and has never been locked, will be locked to the fitted network SIM card when it is upgraded to JB? If that's the case, Samsung should pay for the unlocking.
[Galaxy S II General] Shachar85:
Lock screen's gone

Just finished upgrading to JB with Odin.

Everything works great, but I don't have a lock screen.

Pressing the lock button turns the screen to black. Pressing it again, or pressing home button take me back to exactly what showed before.

Tried to change the settings to different lock screens (pattern, swipe, etc...) - all with the same result

Any ideas?

The thing is if he releases a build that boots up. More devs will get intrested in helping to port.. it'll be like a kick start..:p

Re: ***[OFFICIAL] JellyBean 4.1 Discussion thread [XWLS8]***

The people who are having problems with this rom didnt made a full wipe or a factory reset..if they do that, the rom its very good...

Only CNN app crashes..everything else works perfectly

By the third day with this rom its only consumimg 2% battery/hourly... with low use...to me its perfect...
[Galaxy S II General] i_mendes:
I saw several users with this problem, even when the phone is factory unlocked. This is unaceptable. I think this rom is very buggy for a official release. This problem shouldn't happen. It's because the users use Odin?

I'm going to wait for a Kies update to see what happens.
[Galaxy S II General] gevans35:
Surely it's designed to update the phones of average people who know little about ROMs. It shouldn't require them to reinstall everything. The little I know is probably ten times what the average Joe does and I don't want the hassle of a full wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] kikoto:
That is if you update it via Kies(officially supported way to do it), not via Odin...and if I recall correctly, Samsung themselves said that this update will wipe your phone completely and repartition the storage.
[Galaxy S II General] Nicko80:
Re: ***[OFFICIAL] JellyBean 4.1 Discussion thread [XWLS8]***

Dont do full wipes....

I never Did on my Note 1 until one day that he was stuck forever on the loop logo problem... Why? Because I didnt Did wipes... Sooner or later you will have to do it...

This ls8 only works good if every one do a full wipe or factory reset... Its my opinion...
[Galaxy S II General] --Yo--:
Well, if he is asking us here about it, I assume it's because he didn't do any backup of the EFS, like most of us didn't when we flashed the leak. If he had a backup he wouldn't be here.

I had the same issue and asked around and wasn't the only one, everyone who had their phones unlocked before and flashed the leak months ago got sim-locked, that's why I advise him and I honestly don't believe that you should ask me to stop doing it just because you don't agree with it.

I don't think that's the case, the lock was there at the begining and probably he had it unlocked -like me-.

I did full wipe on the phone and still remained with medi bug causing huge battery drain and notification panel when u slide down, that animation just stays slugish. It seems to JUMP instead of sliding smoothly. Is this kind of things that make me thing Samsung jsut released this to make people sutup and say they release a official version after all. Good or bad they released it...In this case, really bad except for exynos and emmc brick bug. Without mentioning, 3 x 4.1.2 only in 4 days..and 2 of them from the same country...

I tried the csc selector apps form the store but they dont work. One of them has and rooted version that gives the error cant change csc for single csc or something like that, but when i boot in stock recovery it says finished loading multi-csc. I noticed that my imei has changed after flashing this firmware it now has " / 01 " (with the spaces) at the end of the number string and cause of it i cant use *#272*IMEI#.

i tried flashing a stock 4.0.3, cm10 and time &space rom then flashing this firmware. tried with and without wipes same thing the csc apps dont work, the imei gets changed and no mobile data network.

---------------

mobile data network fixed using a different 4.0.3 stock

*#06# still displays xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx / 01

csc selector still not working brings up dialer with *#272*0659# and an error "com.android.Preconfig not found on your device. Manual mode ..."

Kept DCIM folder located in the internal card as it was, but empty (cache folder inside).

Created a new folder in my Ext. SD card, called it DCIM as well. Copied the chache folder from the Int SD to the Ext SD.
[Galaxy S II General] NunoPitbull:
I already had the folder in External since i already took pictures/videos like this on ICS :) It seems either ways media isnt moving at all. Only that that initial 39-45sec check at begining when you boot up..

I did a full wipe and I think this release is unfinished at best. Yes, it's better than the original leak build but in no way is it polished enough to go gold.

All you people who've whinged on for the last few months, pushing for the stock upgrade, I hope you're happy because it looks as if Samsung will release any old unfinished ****e just to appease. Well done.
