I bought the unlock code for my Samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket and I originally had it rooted on 4.0.3 I believe and I would insert my tmobile SIM and it wpuldnt prompt me for the unlock code. It just said invalid SIM. So now I thought maybe I did something wrong with the root or the firmware so I updated to 4.1 and it works greats no bugs but I still won't ask for the unlock code if someone could help me out here that would be great havent really messed with a galaxy s2 in a while since they first came out and not to good with gsm phones as I use cdma for the most part. All help is appreciated

Maybe be wrong but I think you have to be on a stock ROM. There's a thread in general about unlocking.
Edit: this may help.

We cannot unlock it by rooting it?

Get the code from here http://cellunlocker.net
Once you pay for that code pop in your tmo sim and turn the phone on. Enter the unlock code and you're good to go. Then flash a tmo radio from the t989 section. And I think you need to enter a T-Mobile apn. Not sure.

I started rooting it but when I tried to take backup using ClockWorkMod Recoverry, I'm getting an error:
Can't mount /sdcard
I don't have a SD card. Can't I root if I don't have one?
Can I simply get out of it and it won't cause any damange to the phone?

Thank you very much
But how do I apply this radio file to my phone? If there is a prerequisite step please direct me to a post that teach me how to do it
Do a little searching on the forums, but you effectively have to flash the CWM recovery to your phone so you could then flash over the mod's specified in that thread. I can't go into the whole specifics of doing that as there are TONS of threads on it.

Last time i checked the links on the thread are bad.....I unlocked my skyrocket to tmobile and tried dl but links were bad.......so Im on EDGE on the skyrocket but who cares SGS3 is beast ass phone even with the small ammount of roms and mods for it
Per the linked thread a few posts above, search for the blaze modem suggested. That should get you off the Edge network

Once you flash a tmobile modem to unlock the 4g, also try adding these settings to your build.prop
ro.ril.hsdpa=24
ro.ril.hsupa=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=5
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
Supposedly you should get even better data speeds. I cannot verify this. worth a shot.

Thanks for this information. I managed to get CvD-Nibbles 1.6 (Jelly Bean mod ROM) loaded and Blaze_4G_LB7_ICS_Radio_MOD with this settings. Works better now.
I also managed to load a couple T-Mobile ROM like Liquid_All-Star V5.5 and All-Star-Rom V2-1 with skyrocket kernel Sky_p3.2 and Blaze_4G_LB7_ICS_Radio_MOD plus the build.prop tweak to work great.

Call US cellular and have them run the IMEI to check it.
Unfortunately, as far as unlocking it and putting it on AT&T, I'm currently not seeing any unlocks for that to make it possible.

Honestly, after doing some searching... the people in this thread link below may be of the most help to you. Phone unlocking and flashing isn't my most knowledgeable subject... and according to the thread below, it's somehow possible to unlock this CDMA phone to a GSM network... which would include AT&T. So, I wish you good luck. And maybe someone more knowledgeable on this subject will answer you here.

According to the thread, you must be rooted and be on a 4.1.2 AOKP ROM for it to work.

My suggestion would be sell the us cellular one and get the one you need. You can unlock and flash but you will be limited to 3g data speeds. Your calling and texting should be ok.

Make a backup of the stock ROM to your internal and external memory if you have an SD card in it. Go to that thread link I provided you earlier and see if it works for you.
You'll have to flash a ROM such as the one the thread talks about to get the menu.

op's question to vague
are you on stock
exactly whats steps did you take in entering the code
answer could be in the 1stop sticky in the guide/info section
AT&A are bunch of asses when it comes to unlock codes , they will come up with million excuses not to unlock your device...
Search for 3rd party companies online who can sell you the unlock code for your IMEI,it can cost you 10-30$ but well worth it of you really need your device outside of at&t.
Is your device rooted? If so u will need to return to stock firmware for it to work hope u get it going
