Unlocking a rooted phone.

[Motorhomer]

I've rooted my Galaxy S2 and all is well. I now need to unlock it. I unlocked my dongle successfully free of charge using advice on the web and want to do the same for my phone.

I downloaded an app for unlocking and it's telling me that the unlock code is 00000000 which seems odd as the unlock code for my dongle was 8 different numbers.

I'm wondering if the 8 zeroes code is because my phone is rooted. Anyone come across this before?

Thanks.

Ps It gave me an unfreeze code which is 8 different digits.

Does seem strange, I used a free app from the play store and it gave me both codes in the matter of minutes, when I eventually got a different Sim card they worked a treat! Can't remember which app it was though.lol

Maybe worth running the app again?

Root galaxy s2 Sim unlock.... Worked perfectly for me, but it does say it may not work on newer phones for done reason!

Done that and rebooted as well. It still gives 8 zeroes as the code. I may risk it and try it!

The odd thing is that it says that this is the code. It doesn't say "Can't find a code" or words to that effect.

The plot thickens! I thought I'd give it a try and put in my wife's sim card. It worked immediately without any unlock codes. I'm on T-Mobile UK by the way.

It has since occurred to me that Orange and T-Mobile in the UK are now the same company so perhaps they're sharing connections?

It looks a though I'll have to find a chum who's neither on Orange or T-Mobile and see what happens.

I'd still like to know from our experts what the 8 zeroes signifies!

I've bumped this (is it allowed?) as I still can't find an answer to my question. Is there anyone who has knowledge of this unlocking codes app and if so why I'm getting 8 zeroes?

Thanks
