sim unlock

Hi all, not 100% sure on rules so I apologies if I do/say something wrong.

I tried the unlock tool in this thread it didn't work for my phone, and in my search I came across the following,

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.helroz.galaxysunlock

it worked for me, may help some of you too

Hi anujkapila,
what HW Version SGS2 do you have?

 

[rytenuff]

For the life of me I cannot understand why people don't just insert another SIM to check whether or not their 'phone is locked before farting about with various unlock programs.!
Maybe they live on a desert island and can't get access to a different SIM to their original or maybe they just enjoy farting about with their 'phone.

Try the app in the market by herloz, if chainfire`s won`t work this one worked in some instances.

The herolz app worked for me as well.
For those who want to check if their sgs2 is locked: Type *#7465625# in dialer

That is normal, it probably worked. Just put in your sim card to test.

Hi Chainfire,

Quick question (apologies if it's already been asked).

Is it normal for the app to generate an unlock code if the phone is already unlocked?

I checked the lock status using *#7465625* and it shows all locks as [OFF]. I've seen a lot of people asking why the app is generating lots of 0's and it's because the phone is already unlocked, so I am puzzled as to why when I use the app it generates a proper code.

Thanks,
Tam

Sorry but I don't know. I never even had a SIM-locked device. This APK is provided as a service to those in need. The advice is the same as always: try a different SIM and see what happens. If it works, great. If it doesn't, unlock.

Forgot to mention that I had originally did it using Odia's method on a O2 sim locked S2. When I put an Orange simcard in it worked. I wasn't confident when I had done it using Odia's method but the Orange sim worked but I thought as I wasn't confident I would download your app just to make sure, so it threw me a bit when it generated a proper code, took a few minutes to generate it. Changing roms etc wouldn't relock the phone would it? I'll borrow a m8's sim card tomorrow and test it to see if it works straight away or if it asks for a code and post my results

Ran the App and it came back with nothing found. Read though here, did what people were saying, tried a different sim, and voila! XDA has made me VERY happy!

Good job!

Edit: Quite odd this. I can't use any service associated with Google. Maps, Market, Accounts, G-Mail - Even though the browser. BUT every other non-google site works. Even downloading apps though Amazon works.
