I tried few apps, none of them worked... Mostly it says: Model unknown.

change the build ... from i9105p to i9100 and reboot try again ...

Why is this thread in the Android development section?

After installing jb 4.1.2, galaxy s2 locked to a network

Hi,
I bought a samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100 UNLOCKED. Yesterday I installed the jelly bean 4.1.2 pre released firmware, after installation the phone switched on and promted me to enter the sim unlock code.
Any idea what can I do?
Thanks

Well thats interesting...
Use chainfire or galaxsim unlock. They require root.
Yes, what you need to do is enter the SIM card unlock code that your carrier should have provided you with when you bought the SIM card - if they didn't give you one you'll need to ask them for it.
This is a security feature of the SIM card, and is not the same a network lock, which is coded into the phone's firmware and prevents it from being used on other networks.
I bought the galaxy s2 "unlocked".
But after experimenting with android i noticed that the phone was someday locked to a network and it was unlocked ( using an application ) and sold as "unlocked".
When i installed the new jellybean firmware, in which the installation contains the modem tar file, automatically arranged the nv data file to locked as it was the first time.
Now I have unlocked the phone using the galaxy s unlock application and moved to cm10 again
Thanks

The older version of Galaxsim Unlock worked for me.
found here:

The carrier is often not a great help and they sometimes charge a fee for unlock code. Plus the waiting time is frustrating.
I contacted support where i bought my phone and they provided no help.
It seems my phone was originally locked to O2 telefonica even though I bought it "unlocked" online. I suspect a lot of the grey imports have this problem as they temporarily unlock it and then sell it as unlocked. If you need help unlocking it again they're not interested...
I will stick to only Google branded/play store from here on, then I wont need to flash (or wait until the phone is obsolete) before finally getting an update via Samsung.
my phone GT-I9100 on XXLPQ and CF-root
Jumping on the end of this thread.
I have a i9100m (bell - canada) and I have the CM10 nightly on it now. Since then I decided to unlock the phone -seeing as there were so many apps that I could do it with.
Not one has succeeded - Every app I have tried, except the one that you have to pay for from the store.. ANYONE know how much btw??
We still have the Bell account - upgraded the phone on the account to a Siii - and they still want $75 to unlock the Sii - thieves!!!
Looking for a suggestion - nothing on the phone is needed yet.. so .. should I downgrade it.. unlock with something in a different rom.. then back to Cm10? or is the galaxsim pretty cheap.. will work on 4.1.2 and I go with that?

I used the galaxy_s unlock found in play store to unlock mine. Also installed the xxlpq ics firmware using odin before unlocking the phone.
Tried other apps such as galaxy unlock but lead to no success.

Samsung galaxy tab 2 T-mobile Unlock SGH-t779

Hey , Cant seem to find any info if its possible to unlock Tmobiles Galaxy tab 2 SGH-T779 ?
i would really appreciate any info and push in right direction.

anyone ?
Check out the s2 forum or any other galaxy forum. They all have the same method to SIM unlock the phone. Most likely that method will also work with the tab.

how to sim unlock?

is there any solution, that i can unlock my phone to use different sim card currently its looked at Telenor Serbia? i know s2 has some programs, etc but is that legal i don't want to brake my warranty or phone? and if its possible how to do that i mean in anyway, but not brake anything? i will backup i just wanna be sure its safe... and btw my phone is i9105p
anyone?
Hi my friend. I think that you can't unlock your sim card without losing your warranty. You just can go to the near mobile service and pay 1000RSD for unlock SIM

Try flashing with another region firmwares, it succesfuly once on grand duos
OrdinaryNoob
i flashed nordic firmware and insterted diffrent sim card and again it asks for unlock pin etc.. so i think that it won't work when change firmware..
Try from different continent, it shoul be work, last time i've tried galaxy grand duos its sim locked abu dhabi, then I flashed with rusian firmware and its work like charm, try your luck man
Edit: logically if newer devices was possible to break the sim.unlock, note that this 2 devices has same BCM processor too, keep tryin'
OrdinaryNoob
one more question, if i try different firmwares that wouldn't brake anything on my phone? i am thinking to flash serbian telekom firmware, maybe it will then work, now i am downloading Italian firmware, and i will try it
Its just software based, nothing to worry about, language problem, may its not containing your local language. Make sure that you better try firmware which its not containing any provider/carrier even other carriers
OrdinaryNoob
i flashed Italian, inserted different carrier sim and again it asks for unlock pin.. but shows signal on phone, even when i dismissed it, but when i try call it says not registered on network.
Wait, i'll.take some suffer be back here for 40min
Edit, ok you there??lets try our noob luck, which carrier you're currently locked to, which country that device from??
OrdinaryNoob
Have youvtried this one??
OrdinaryNoob
This one too, make sure you're rooted,busybox installed to, works on galaxy s3
OrdinaryNoob
didn't tried the french fw because i don't know if its 4.2.2 or not, my phone is on 4.2.2 if it matters, and installed this app and busybox but look what it says
Galaxsim failed, ok this devices s2ve/p not widely world distributed, as it only has small countries and not much firmware options.which country you're and what carriers you're locked to????
OrdinaryNoob
---------- Post added at 03:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 AM ----------
Keep in mind that's must be a way to unlock it, as it shouldn't harder than apple's simlock method, after you flashed other firmwares did it changed your baseband details???see in setting.
OrdinaryNoob
i am in serbia, its locked at telenor serbia
Maybe this help you: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.sgs2simunlockcode. Don't know does it work plus version
Sent from my GT-I9105P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
@rs tony no luck with that or any app like that because of efs partition is hidden or something like that or it even don't exist. @SH1M4BD3 thx for all help but all i can see is no unlock without service..
Whatvif combined using xenon efs backup tools and use others efs backup(eg.mine efs backup),???

[HELP][HELP]Samsung galaxy s2 plus...

My brother gifted s2 plus orange unlocked mobile from france I am in india this mobile is unlocked .. But 4.1.2 when i update to 4.2.2 it will locked or not or i will flash the indian stock rom or ordinary cynogenmod mod on orange mobile.....
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
Hello
It doesen't matter what stock 4.2.2 you flash, branding firmwares like orange or vodafone or else don't lock your device in that network, it just have branding apps like tv,deezer and others. You can flash any 4.2.2 update, you can find in our developer settings a thread about rooted firmwares without loosing warnity(bad english).
If your device is unlocked from the shop your brother bought it it doesen't matter the brand firmware.
Even you can install cm11, that is more flawless and faster but not stable.
I recommand you to try all those options, but after all make a backup for any situation
Hope that is what you mean by this post. Seeya.

The sim is unlocked so that shouldn't be an issue. As far as roms your limited as to whats available on the NC1 locked bootloader. Here is the thread that lists the roms available on that specific firmware, do not attempt to flash anything else
