Solved: Network Unlock Samsung Galaxy S2 + JB 4.1.2 firmware

I  updated to JB 4.1.2 firmware ( I9100XXLSJ ) yesterday and my phone kept complaining about Network Lock. Which i have fixed in few easy steps.

We assume that your phone is rooted ( I may add a tutorial on this later)

1. Download and Install this given apk  ( GalaxSimUnlock.apk )
2. Once you open the apk it will show you the current status of your phone.
3. Click the white bar at bottom.
4. If asked grant the root previlages.
5. It will inform you about the network unlock. ( Now simple restart the phone) .

=====================================================

This is the easiest method that i found that works. Let us know if it does not work for you. and post your solution if you have anything better !

Great job with the apk. When downloaded the same app through market asks for paid pro version before unlocking.

Wow.

Hours of fruitless searching resolved in about a minute.
Upgraded my Galaxy S2 to Jellybean 4.2.2 (Cyanogen Mod 10.1) and lost my unlock.

Followed the instructions on here and am still shocked at how simple it was.

use appIntaller from georgy house. ( From Google Play )

once you open the app. It will search for all the apk on your sd card. ( Allowing you to install/ uninstall/ remove apps)

You saved a life man with this post.. really.. I bought a second handed sim locked s2.. mom was about to kill me.. now it works smouthly.. THX MAN!!

Mihir said...

you have to root the phone. (as the application need to have root previlageis to do its job, overwrite some stuff in OS).

In short once you root the device the application should work.
