Hi everyone.

I don't know for sure if this is a sign saying it works. but when I turn on my 3g it seemed to be okay.
Now here's the big question, if I update it (of course to a non 4.0.3) rom. will my unlock still be kept?

ok i can confirm this actually works.

my friend's phone caught the virus



fusion rom 2.5 to fusion rom 3.0 and immediately bam, that screen came up.

so via criskelo's lovely fix, flashed via cwm, via helroz's tool, step 1, step 2 , step 3
click click click and done. reboot not even needed.

3 cheers for criskelo.

it was either criskelo's 30 second fix or a 2 hour ordeal.

for those who claimed this does not work, it did for me. the easiest method.
for those who are still trying to make it work, there are several alternatives.

1 - pay a hefty sum to cellunlocker or similar websites to get a code generated for you
2 - use criskelo's easy and free and painless method + helroz's free unlocker

or

3 - move your device back to rooted GB roms in order to use helroz's free unlocker.


or you can just throw your device away and get a new one.

for those of you who may be interested. when i tried installing this is what showed

" -- Install /sdcard...
finding update package...
opening update package...
verifying update package
E: signature verification failed
install_package = (2)"

does this mean it worked or no?
This means you are not a kernel with CWM
I advise to install before the CF-Root Kernel

this mod/fix is for those who have their phone accidentally locked even when on the same network or carrier. The cause of this is blamed mostly on the newer roms with LRK/LRI/LRG base.

This picture attached earlier by me, (see pic below)



if your phone gets that, you will need this mod ONLY if you are on roms with those base listed.
if you don't see that in your phone, and u can still call in and out to others, then this mod/fix is not for you.

If you plan to unlock your phone away from your carrier, the tool that is needed is Helroz's SGS unlocker. This mod/fix from criskelo is for those who are on LRK/LRG/LRI roms that are unable to use Helroz's SGS unlocker when on 4.0.4 base roms, because Helroz's unlocker mainly works only for Gingerbread roms.
So this mod/fix is to enable people who are on 4.0.4 LRK/LRG/LRI based roms to be able to use Helroz's SGS unlocker tool.

To do this, you can opt for method 1 or method 2 or method 3.

Method 1 is for people who are on 4.0.4 with LRK/LRI/LRG

*Download criskelo's fix into sdcard.
*via wifi or any other means, download Helroz's SGS Unlocker from playstore
*Reboot into recovery
*flash criskelo's fix
*Reboot phone
*open Helroz's unlocker
*click on 2nd from left top icon
*click on STEP 1
*click on STEP 2
*click on STEP 3
*once done, reboot phone and you are able to call in and out again

Method 2 is a much longer process and tedious. This method i had to go through before criskelo came out with his fix.

*Download pre-rooted GB rom
*Flash back to GB and make sure you are rooted.
*download Helroz's SGS unlocker via wifi or other means
*click on 2nd from left top icon
*click on STEP 1
*click on STEP 2
*click on STEP 3
*once done, reboot phone and you are able to call in and out again
*move back to ICS if you wish or remain in GB roms. your call.



Method 3 is the simplest of all methods. It requires no intelligence or any technical knowledge.

*Go to nearest mobile phone shop
*Get him/her to fix or trade in or buy a new mobile device.
*solves all problems, continue using and be happy.

if you can call in and out then you are not network locked. NEtwork lock means u cant even get onto your network. No signal whatsoever. this fix isn't meant for you. As long as u can still call in and out, you are on your carrier. People who use this fix, can't even get onto their own telco carrier.

I was wondering if this method will work for 4.0.4 and also 4.1 OTA(when it comes out).
I bought my n7000 (which is already network unlocked) from HK and when I upgraded to 4.0.4 it locked my network and I had to root my phone and such to downgrade back to 4.0.3 to get it fixed.
I am just kind of worried that when 4.1 comes out it will lock my sim again.

Please try to read previous posts. You flash the zip file via CWM recovery, if you dont know how to go there, just turn off your phone first, then press at the same time volume up+home button+power button until the samsung logo appears, then let go. Choose install zip (use volume rocker to choose, them home button). After that look for the location of the file you downloaded (usually "download" folder, not unless you moved it).
