Many thanks! This worked on a Bell Galaxy S2 i9100 running CM9, while the other two available apps on the market failed. It also set my Rogers i927 (stock) from partially unlocked to unlocked, although I have an actual network unlock code in use so I can't say for sure if it did a network unlock.

Purchase Option

Hi.

Thanks for this great little app.

But: it's running fine on my Galaxy Note 2; however, thanks to some glitch in the PlayStore, I cannot buy the pro app required to do the actual unlocking. (I have contacted Google - for the past 3 days I have been unable to buy any new apps. I can only download free apps, and those purchased in the past. My Credit Card is okay).

Is there any way to buy the Pro version without Play Store?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jonstarkk:
Sorry.... sorted. I just signed in with a different google acct DOH!

Can report Galaxy Note 2 now unlocked :D

Hi,

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE (I9210) from TMN, Portugal carrier

I have the original rom, is rooted

Busybox installed on the advised folder (/system/xbin)

Tried other apps but never successful (except voodoo ???)

Trying this one, this is what I get:

Device Model: GT-I9210

IMEI: undefined

Sim Lock Status: undefined

Show details (everything as undefined)

UNABLE TO READ NV DATA

Can you help me? How can I unblock my phone!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks dude when changing ROMs do i ned to restore efs and then unlock again?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] balajinaik:
Thank you, I bought the app on google market to donate.

Will i be able to use the tool, if i change the ROM in future..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] tisazalay:
Usually not needed. The Rom is not supposed to mess the efs. Restoring and unlocking again would be necessary only if somehow your efs is changed but that's not common.

Mexican Simlocked

Hey Spocky,

I've searched through the forums but can't find an answer for this.

I've got a Mexican phone that I am trying to unlock, it's originally a TELCEL phone. I initially rooted the phone and tried using CM10, then I tried unlocking the SIM with GalaxSim Unlock. It seemed to unlock successfully but when restarting the phone I would only get a Network Locked Message and the ability to press dismiss. I then changed to CM09 and it gave me the option of using an unlock code (I tried getting one but it wouldn't work). I looked online and found the phone is hardlocked. I tried downloaded an unbranded ROM (Trinidad and Tobago) but it won't install, I only get a "Signature Not Verified" message in it, and it seems not many people have been successful installing it. What could I do?

Thanks!

Edit: I signed it but it still won't read, I'm guessing it's a bad download but I've downloaded it twice already and get the same results. When signing it'll just try to install it and say installation aborted.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] tisazalay:
Shouldn't be a problem. The phone will keep unlocked if it worked for you. The changes are made in the efs that has nothing to do with other partitions commonly affected by the Rom and / or rooting.

I go at service again, and with the box they couldn,t unlock them.They worked 3 hours at the device and finnaly unlock them.How i don't know...

Now i have ROOT ans SUPERUSER instaled....

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] connta:
hi!

i got my sgs3 just last week and now there is this OTA today that is not available for my phone. obviously the phone was carrier purchased, its mobilkom/vodafone just named vip mobile in my country, but it came without any branding or any software that would distinguish it form an international version. also i have rooted the phone and running stock rom.

it just appears to be network locked, namely when i type in *#7465625# it only shows [ON] for Network Lock, rest of the fields are set to [OFF]. guess that part of information could be important.

now it seems that i wont be able to get updates until vodafone decides i should and i was wondering would unlocking my phone from a network lock fix my problem, put me in the bin with the rest of international users? would i be able to recieve OTA in a timely fashion with everyone else if i unlock it with your program or is that just too far fetched? im really not delighted to w8 indefinitely for vodafone to release JB once its out officially...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] willis3:
In general updates for branded firmwares come 1 month later. If you unlock your device with this app you can use sim cards from other carriers. This has nothing to do at which time your update arrive. If you want to get updates as soon as all others you have to unbrand your device ( just flash with odin a stock firmware without branding and dont forget to backup your efs)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] connta:
now that you said it i cant believe how much of a noob i actually am that i never even tought about searching for debranding... thing is this phone doent look branded by anything that prob threw me off, many thanks and an apology to the OP for OT! :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] spocky12:
Updated op. No need to restore efs. It's recommended so that your backup is stock samsung and not intermediate state. But if you can live with this, don't restore efs :)

I'll send you a pm in a moment.

efs backup

Hi all,

I used voodoo to unlock my phone. I'm still on ICS rom for now (CriskeloRomV5.2)

I install your apk and it said "partially unlock". Before unlocking my phone with your apk i'd would like to restore a clean efs folder.

Sadly, i didn't make any efs backup manually Before using voodoo apk. I remember that voodoo step 1 is a backup of that folder but i can find it anywhere on phone or sd card. Do you know where voodoo store this backup ?

I have a cwm backup of my stock rom just after rooting, before using voodoo. If i restore this cwm backup, would it restore my efs folder to ? Would it be better to restore it anyway before using your apk ?

I understand how important is that backup so i made one now but it was after using voodoo...

Thanks in advance for your help !
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] spocky12:
Are you sure you have busybox installed on your phone ? Install it from the market, reboot your device and try again.

Hopefully that will fix your issue.

I'll add a busybox detection in next version.

Cwm doesn't backup your efs so it won't help.

I don't know if voodoo makes a backup of efs folder. I only know the backup it make of nv_data files in sdcard root, called voodoo_something. You can restore those files, but remember to set the right files acces with chmod/chown after that.

Anyway this step is not necessary, you can use my app with no problem if you used only voodoo before.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sergiuhusca:
Hy...I have Root and Su...I think i don,t have busybox?How i find if i have busybox instaled?

I make in this morning a backup at my efs with KTOOL!Is a image file and i will send you in this evening...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] extralife:
busybox
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sergiuhusca:
Fine...

I instaled busybox...and look what i have...Thats means my phone is fully unlocked like...NEVERLOCKED?Or when i do next update,he will relocking again?I see that i have an unbranded firmware...but at the phone model we can see codename VDI...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] spocky12:
Send me your efs folder and should be able to tell you, but I suppose it might have been unlocked with an official unlock code.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sergiuhusca:
It will be very useful if other members post here some screenshot with her device before pres the unlock button and after to see the difference between these steps!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] tisazalay:
Warranty is void with root alone ;)

Still you can revert everything if you do an Efs backup before applying any changes and if you need to go back to new then you restore the backup and then install the stock original Rom from Odin (you might need to run triangle away just before Odin). The stock gets rid of root and insecure kernels etc.

With this it's back to 0 miles. ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] andrethrill:
Yes I knew that, but I also knew that root can be undone. Didn't know about lock ;)

This is my first Samsung so let me see if I understood well: the efs backup restores me the lock and the stock ROM puts me the phone like new, is that it?

I just didn't understand the triangle thing :-\

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] tisazalay:
Exactly. Efs restore = lock. Stock firmware = unroot.

Triangle away is an app that helps you set the flash counter to 0. Usually flashing stock doesn't increase that counter but it may have been increased with previous flashes so you should check the about and find if your phone says modified.

Wanted to thank a lot to spocky12 for making this great app. So far, the only one it worked at unlocking my device. I will donate as soon as I can (and more than the awfully fair $2.50 you ask in-app, you deserve more).

I also wanted to help a little bit by telling you my phone model was said not to be supported and that I should unlock it at my own risk, so I took that risk, and now you know it works for this model too. Here are the screenshots:

Yeaaah noob here, I'm on a custom ROM and I used this app to unlock my phone. If I flash the new jellybean leak using Odin I'll go back to stock. Will my phone still be unlocked? Or will I have to pay again?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mann6004:
Dont worry you can use this amazing app again if you get locked
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] spocky12:
Hi guys,

Sorry for the late replies, I'm just back from vacation.

Your phones, as almost all LTE/4G samsung phones are based on Qualcomm chip (at least for the radio part). Which means they're not supported for the moment. I need to get a locked SGS1/2/3 LTE and make some research so that I can see if I can find how to unlock them.

No need. You phone will still be unlocked. Restoring efs is just here if you want to lock you phone again.

Why don't you download a full unbranded rom from another country ? If you want, send me your efs_backup.tar.gz and I'll see if I can remove the hardlock directly from it without flashing anything else (there's something I want to test that I believe could remove hardlock but I don't have any hardlocked phone).

You seem to have lost your s/n ? It's needed to get network.

Either use a patched radio (link somewhere in the last 2 pages) or send me a backup of your efs floder + efs partition image (made with Efs Pro) so that I can see if I can restore it.

Can't understand how it could have lock again... unless a backup has been restored somehow.

Yes you can, unlock will persist as long as no backup is restored.

Unlock will persist any flash/reset you can do.

And as written above, when you buy GSU, it's stored into your google account, meaning you can use it any time you want, you won't have to pay again.

Damn ! No google checkout and no paypal ! Seems that you're condemned to use the free version without donating :D

At least I suppose you have a better reason that most of the other 24970 :p (btw thanks to those who donated/bought the app, it motivates me to continue my work and support more devices).
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mann6004:

I have the gt-i9000 international variant running ICS

I've run the GalaxSim and it says unlocked however I get an error "Not registered on network" when I try to make a call.

Any idea why this is happening. I'm in U.K and running on o2 network.

ps: the phone was working normally until yesterday when all voice and sms messages were disrupted.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] spocky12:
Not registered to network means two things : either you lost your imei/sn (you can see this in gsu) or your imei got blacklisted (second hand ? Stolen ?)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] GoldCoast:
thanks for the response.

the imea matches the one on the inside of the phone so i doubt its that.

whats sn?

its worth adding that other some sim cards work on the phone and the o2 card i have also works in other phones.

i doubt my imea is blacklisted because the phone has been working for ever 8months with no problems.

Hi, I'm new at this and don't really know what to do. I want to unlock my newly updated SGS3 and I rooted my phone with Odin.

Then I downloaded Galax Sim Unlock. After that I downloaded BusyBox Free. Then I opened Sim Unlock but it's just looking for root, and Device Model etc. is empty. When I click somewhere in the screen the "looking for root" disappears but then it just says "Initializing". Do I have to do something with this BusyBox?

Thanks!
