[Q] In need of help with SIM unlock... - Samsung Galaxy R i9103

As far as I know, my phone's carrier locked from "3" from Austria. This is my very first android phone so please bear with me if I don't get what you mean!
The very first thing I did when I received the phone was to switch the Stock Firmware from Austria to Taiwan's (I thought by doing this my phone would be automatically SIM unlocked lol...)
I followed this method

to install CWM 4.0.0.2 and flashed stock ROM via Odin3 v3.09
Then I rooted the phone by following this guide.

My phone is currently running Android 4.0.4.
I have tried running GalaxSim Unlock and Galaxy S Unlock and I'm still unable to SIM unlock my galaxy r phone...
I kept googling for SIM unlock solutions but all I get is commercial unlock results from google... and I couldn't find any threads here discussing about SIM unlock solutions... ANY help/comments would be much appreciated!!!:crying:
UPDATE: I didn't actually run Galaxy S Unlock all the way to step 3, I only ran it to step 2(since at the end of step 2 it indicated that I would have to run step 3 only after unlocking.) and my SIM was still locked even after restarting my phone, so I did not run step 3. Please do correct me if my hypothesis is wrong!
UPDATE2: I tried entering this on my phone and nothing came out. *#7465625#
UPDATE3: Does anyone know how to check if your Samsung Galaxy R i9103 is the CDMA or GSM version??

I think there is only GSM version of R...

Can anyone explain what are the uses of unlocking our phone? I am facing strange problem on vodafone India, if a flash a custom rom I face call drops n network fluctuation, but if I flash with stock Asian rom like DDJP2,4,6 I wont face any call drop problem. That means vodafone is only compatible with the stock rom's of that country .. so I want to know whether by unlocking the phones this problem can be solved and any custom rom can be used..

as u allready flashed the rom the warranty list isnt working, just unlock the phone and check if the problem is solved, if not solved try another custom rom for your phone [Kyrilos maybe]
I have tried flashing all the custom rom's and faced the same problem... now as u said about unlocking the phone I will try doing it n see.. thanks

pavan, many of us including me face a similar problem. please read the thread i started and tell me if you face a similar issue. and i don't think it's just vodafone. turns out quite a few people on other service providers face a similar issue.
Where is ur thread?
Are u facing the same problem, which rom do u use?
I will try to unlock my phone and see whether it works..

if i'm not wrong, i think our phone is already unlocked. i think unlocking means getting rid of fixed service provider that the phone comes with. i don't think there are phone contracts in india, barring a few. correct me if i'm wrong.
have you unlocked your phone or u still cant do it ?

Heh... tried this and it says:
SRS Protection error
Error, Wireshark detected, please close then try again
Installed windows xp in virtual box so i could work around that and it says:
SRS Protection error
Virtual environment detected, this program will not run in virtual machines..
I don't know for sure, but it doesn't look like this method works any more.. hooo well
<edit>
My bad, I assumed fiddler was using winpcap to do its sorcery, instead, i had winpcap installed for some other thing, and that was confuddling it. Used a different computer, worked fine yay!!

If it's an unlocked GSM phone, it will work with any GSM carrier. I don't know if your phone is carrier locked or not, though. Also, custom roms don't control which carrier you can use.

You don't need root or ANYTHING to unlock your phone.
1) get SIM that is not the network the phone was originally on
2) buy unlock code from local dealer or trusted ebay seller. You have to give them your IMEI I believe
3) put that SIM in and when prompted, enter unlock code. Phone is now unlocked for any SIM card for eternity

[Q] AT&T + Unlock = Cant Unlock

Hello,
I have a AT&T i727 SkyRocket Galaxy S2, I'm currently trying to unlock the phone. I purchased an unlock code from CellUnlocker.net. I'm unable to unlock the phone doesnt give me an error besides unsuccessful unlock. I tried getting help from CellUnlocker.net, very nice people but problem is it seems like they never ran in to this issue before. I was told I had to be on a certain baseband (modem ver.), I was also told i had to be on a stock Rom..
I have searched the forums and i was unable to find answers.
I read around that "usb unlock" is easier and better way to unlock it, I just dont know how to do that or who provides that service.
My question has anyone had any issues unlocking this version of the Galaxy S2 ?
Is there a simpler way of unlocking this phone ?
Any other recommendations of websites that can provide a USB unlock ?

remove simlock with root??

hi, i have a sprint note edge probably it can be rooted, but its possible to remove the simlock for international use??
I have seen a sim unlock option with galaxy tools app. Dont know if it works just know its there. I was going to ask the same question about domestic unlocking.
So anyone got answers i would like to hear. I read note edge was gsm/cdma capable like the nexus. Please someone who knows chime in. Looking to get domestic unlock because i am sure it isnt easily done through sprint.
Secondly i tried to root it whith the odin/chainfire and it didnt work. Git the error message after failed flash and had to re do the stock firmware with odin. Anyone got a link to the chainfire maybe i downloaded the one for kitkat?
