This program finds the SIM unlock code for your Samsung Galaxy S II (SGS2) GT-I9100 device. It requires root / superuser.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Sometimes it says the unlock was unsuccessful. However after a reboot you may still find yourself unlocked. So try rebooting first and actually TESTING if the device is locked or unlocked

Simply install the app, hit the "SIM unlock code" button, wait a few minutes, and it should come up with the code. It can indeed take a while, so plug your phone in the charger before running, and go make yourself a cup of coffee.

Write down the code, turn off your device, insert a SIM that doesn't match your SIM lock, turn the device on again, and enter the code when the device asks for it.

If the code does not work, do NOT try it again. You might end up with a freeze. The app can also find the unfreeze code, but if the SIM unlock code was wrong ... :)

Can I just add that before using this app it would be very advisable to back up efs folder which contains imei amongst other important stuff as there had been quite a few instances where imei has been messed up when unlocking the s and it's not worth risking the same thing happening on the s 2
