Yes, please update..

AT&T will not unlock device unless you are an AT&T customer..

There is a wait period before new phones are eligible for unlock, and when it does, AT&T customers who have been with them for 90+ days can request an unlock code.

Just tell them you are going overseas and want to use your phone temporarily with a local carrier there.

note: turn around time can take up to a week.

Great thread and thanks to jivy26 for his hard work.

I flashed stock+root (as per method 2 in the OP) and then flashed CWM. Works great. Strangely, after installing the rooted stock ROM, many of the AT&T apps didn't work (myAT&T, AT&T Code Scanner, Yellow Pages, Family Map). Even stranger, after installing CWM, they disappeared altogether. This is great -- can anyone comment if they are seeing the same thing and/or explain how it was done?

Thanks!

the devs removed the bloatware which is a very good thing. As for how it was done, im not a dev and as far as I know they could have cast a spell or something. lol

No, he indicated he used my root+stock package, so that shouldn't have happened.

It's not debloated stock + root, it's stock+root.

However the AT&T apps are uninstallable somehow, so maybe something strange happened in jivy26's dump in regards to them. (My package is based on a system dump jivy26 obtained) I never tested as the first thing I did was remove them.

BTW all of the AT&T apps that were uninstallable are also available on the Market.

Well if the sgs2 att variant is anything like the captivate, TiBu should be able uninstall the bloatware from att. I will need to root to get my apps that I have from my cappy to move over to the sgs 2 when I get it sometime next week..

HTH,

Much of the bloatware is uninstallable in the GS2. But not all - even after removing it there are a ton of background services.

Tell me about it, when I clear RAM in task manager, it closes 18 Apps

well I have soft bricked *sigh* i know, battery came out. what would be the best way to go about resetting it? thanks for your help.

I want to root my phone, but keep stock, all my settings, data etc.
This way if I need to return it or get a warranty replacement I can just delete superuser and that other file ant ATT will never know I rooted it, is option 2 what I need?
(I want to root so I can restore app data from old phone, WiFi tethering and remove ATT bloatware.)

Yup, that'll do it.
