Hey there, successfully rooted my Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100M running 4.1.2) from Bell Canada but unfortunately none of the sim unlock apps are working.

I rooted using the http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...t/482994-rooting-galaxy-s2-dummies-guide.html found on this site.

I have tried the popular sim unlocking apps such as the ones made by Chainfire and Helroz to no avail, I have also tried sim unlock sites which have failed to come up with working codes. If anyone could give me some suggestions on how to unlock my phone I would be deeply grateful - thanks!

I'm having a similar problem to SSBM. I rooted my GS2 successfully by following the same marvelous guide, but I also have not been able to use any of the unlock apps. Here's the situation: I got the phone secondhand in Austria and used in on the Three carrier there, not realizing that it was locked. Now I am in the US and want to use it here on the T-Mobile network. My questions is this: Is there any way that I can unlock the phone from outside Austria? I don't think contacting Three is an option, as I am not the original account holder.

According to T-Mobile and Samsung, there is nothing to be done...but I wanted to check with the real experts first! Thanks.
