[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falconetti:
I was given a new S2 on Orange (running ICS) which I didn't want or need, so I sold it. The person who bought it said she wanted an unlocked phone to use on another network and I told her she could get this phone unlocked, either for free, if she googled it (using a couple of apps that root then unlock) or from most phone shops. She bought it on that proviso.

I received a call from her today - she is complaining that she tried the "free" way - which didn't work, then tried a number of phone shops, every one of which said that the phone couldn't be unlocked.

She may have done the "free" way incorrectly therefore making it impossible for the phone to now be unlocked. I feel somewhat responsible but don't want to take back the phone now. I said I would call in to try to help her when I'm next in her area. Is there anything I can do to get the phone unlocked now?

Any help and advice would be very welcome and thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHARQAXIAN:
I doubt there is anything that can be done and the assistance you are asking may not be forthcoming from this forum.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User X:
Whoever tries to unlock the phone will need some basic knowledge in this area and needs to understand all the risks associated with this process. If you can tick off these two boxes just follow a few simple steps (just done that myself and can confirm it works fine):

1. Root your GS2 (plenty of threads on this forum)

2. Go to Google Play and search for "Galaxy S Unlock", the author is "Helroz".

3. Run the app from step 2. Go to "Unlock SGSII" tab on the top of the screen.

4. Tap on the first item:"Step 1 Backup files...."

5. Tap on the second item:"Step 2 Change lock-bytes", and wait until your phone restarts.

That's it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No chance. If mobile repair shops can't unlock it, no way anything from Google Play (or anywhere else, Unlock SGSII included) will unlock it. Somebody is paying for an unlock code from a carrier.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C7SS:
OK first time in this forum, (so please be kind!!)

I'm not a total newbie to android - Google Nexus One - CM7.2 and SGS CM9.

Currently :

S2 GT-i9100P

Android 4.0.4

Baseband - I9100PBVLPB

Kernel - 3.0.15-I9100BULPC-CL332484

Build no. IMM76D.BVLPC

Was originally running 2.3.6 GB but updated via KIES to 4.0.4

Rooted with CF-Root

Yes, I have backed up my efs file

Yes. I have the dodgy emmc chip

NO!! Not bothered with NFC as probably gonna go CM10 when succesfully unlocked.

I've tried all the unlocking routes, free and paid (still waiting for several refunds!!). "Helroz" works, but if phone is restarted, have

to run app again to get unlock.

Does anyone have a permanent fix?

If it were for me, then no problem running Helroz every time, but it's for my daughter so want something permanent.

Going to go to a "phone shop" tomorrow to see what they can do....But much prefer to get it sorterd here with people that know and care!!

Thanks in advance

OK After MORE searching, finally found the thread for "GalaxySim Unlock 1.02" Duly downloaded and works a treat. I have thanked in that thread.

Hello,

I am (was) using a Samsung Galaxy Note N-7000 with cm-9-20120629-NIGHTLY-n7000. Decided i wanted to go back to another rom so i naturally thought to go back to stock GB. I flashed Abyss kernel 4.2cwtouch original logo through PC odin and then i rebooted into recovery and wiped data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache. i then went into DL mode and attempted to flash Stock GB N7000XXLA6_N7000XSAKL1_N7000XXLA4_HOME.tar.md5 like i always have. it stops at NAND write start!! everytime i try to flash something through PC odin it does this.... i cannot boot normally, it freezes at the samsung galaxy note screen (with triangle(i also have 12 Custom Binary count)) i could get into CWM where it froze for about 10 minutes and then loaded and said E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

i cannot mount cache or clear cache or flash anything through CWM...now i can even access CWM Please help i realise i have a hard brick and am pissed as its only like a month old just wondering WHERE i went wrong, IF theres a fix and HOW i can possibly get it fixed by someone... i bought it from KOGAN online.... thanks

Motherboard replacement from Samsung.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Contact kogan, they should honour your warranty, if not register the phone with Samsung online and see if they'll honour it directly, if not then insurance?

If you're truly stuck for warranty replacement, then there's a thread on how to repartition the chip to bypass the damaged portion. You'll lose some space on internal SD (usually 3 or 4gb) but it'll work again fine:

For whatever reason, my i9000 on Rogers started having issues with signal strength. It would not get higher than 2 bars and it would also drop the signal.

I changed the SIM card, same problem.

I am running ICS 4.0.4.

I found this list of modems and installed KG3. After reboot FULL bars.

I am linking to another thread here. I find it sometimes hard to find certain basic info here. Perhaps as a general rule when the Devs create their ROM thread they can also include links to other components for the ROMS since we are global.

Why would a mod close the sgs3 thread? It was a thread for fascinate owners who are considering upgrading. It was a discussion within this community by people who wanted opinions of others they have come to know and trust, not some fan boy who posts in the sgs3 forum. Why should I go there when the opinions I want are here. And it was in the general section ffs. I mean what was wrong with that, its not like it was posted in development. Get off your high horse, this is our community too.

how come none of the threads that are in the wrong section have been fixed? how come the old threads from over a year ago that we keep requesting closes on are still open? how come the excess noob posts and things haven't been cleaned up at all? all that happened is some of our fun got ruined without him even giving a reason or explanation. just because you're a mod doesn't make you part of the community, or us not part of it. doesn't matter how much power somebody gives you if you use it wrong and on things you have no knowledge about.
