you could use ( one click unlock ) not very hard two do,just save efs files then click unlock, one thing though if u are on froyo 2.1 click the the froyo 2.1 option or 2.2 if you on 2.2 froyo,but i think you need root to use this program (mite be wrong)
anyway good luck
it depends on the model of the galaxy s. In most cases, you will need to root the phone.
Help Pls
I had successfully unlocked my galaxy s using the procedure suggested on the related XDA forum.. the phone worked fine with a different network later on i accidently clicked the factory reset option.. now although the phone says its unlocked but i cannot see any network signal and the phone does not work on any sim card.
Pls can someone help
PS: I can switch on the phone and perform all other functions.
Try the one click unlock app thingy again, see how that pans out.
Also try this:
Go into settings > network and coonections > mobile networks > and manually choose your provider.
Mine is locked to my network also, but I'm now running Gingerbread. Any way I can get an unlock?
Quick background:
- I have an International version, sourced from Latin America
- I have rooted the phone but NOT custom ROM
- I have Straight Talk service
The phone was just working fine for almost 1 month, can receive call, SMS, etc. Just today, I shutdown the phone and took out the microSD card and SIM.
I copied some files to the microSD card using a reader and left the phone with the SIM and battery out for about 30 minutes.
I put the microSD, SIM and battery and rebooted the phone. Suddenly, I got Emergency Calls only!
I have tried to "fix" it but to no avail:
1). Looking at the 3 PIN in the SIM slot, they are all INTACT, nothing bend or broken or lopse
2). The SIM card works - tested it in another 2 different phone and can make calls, etc.
3). I did CWM recovery to a backup from 1 day ago (when the phone still works)
Anyone have this experiences or my phone just DEAD?
weird...
try do the hard reset (try not to restore anything yet), if still doesn't change anything... flash new radio (LC1)
I disassembled my Note using the instructions from here to check if any of the 6 (SIX) SIM Card connector is bent and it is NOT.
I am putting it back together now and will do factory reset (this is what you meant by "hard reset", right?). I will post back with updates/
PS: this is INDEED weird. The phone works OK, Wifi works, sound works, screen works, microSD card is readable, everything works EXCEPT the GSM connection! And I didn't even mess aroud with the custom ROM/kernel/radio!
did u test other sim card on that phone yet?

I don't have an extra SIM card. What I did was take out the Straight Talk (ST) SIM card from my Note and put it in another unlocked GSM phone (Nokia N73). The Nokia N73 works with the ST SIM.
I just did a "Factory Reset" and still the same thing.
Before I try the radio flash, what will this "software" do to the Note modem? I am just curious how it will fix it.
BTW, my Baseband vesion is "BKK1", and I don't see the radio for this baseband in the link you provided. Which one should I use?
PDA: N7000UBKK2
PHONE: N7000UBKK1
CSC: N7000UWHKK2
flashing the radio doesn't effect your rom... try them.
try to borrow your neighbor sim card first before flash new radio.

Which radio files I should use? The link you provided show multiple radios, but I don't see one for my phone:
PDA: N7000UBKK2
PHONE: N7000UBKK1
CSC: N7000UWHKK2
Try to clean the Sim slot.
Yes, I tried cleaning the SIM slot. I have been very careful with my Note since day 1.
Someone mentioned that they have the same problem and was able to fix it by flashing STOCK ROM back.
I searched in the development section and could not find ROM for my phone (N7000UBKK1). Do you have any idea where I can get this from?
Well, looks like my phone is toast. I have tried the following:
1). Wipe data, cache, Dalvik and restore to CWR backup --> NO GO
2). Do a "factory reset" --> NO GO
3). Install stock firmware using Odin --> NO GO
NOTE: had to search for stock firmware on the Internet since it is NOT available in XDA
The only thing I haven't tried is flashing the modem firmware, but this is NOT available anywhere in XDA either.
The ST SIM card works because I tried this on two other GSM phone. Only the Note show "Emergency Call Only" message.
So now I have a $600 media player that I can't event sell. I guess serves me right for buying an International version with ZERO warranty and just happen that there is NO modem firmware for my phone.

Anyhow,
I found out the solution to this problem by accident, and there doesn`t appear to be a solution anywhere else on the internet. Turn off your phone and restart it. As soon as you are able to do so, open up setting, or any other app. When your phone goes into cool down mode, hold down the home button. A screen will come back asking you to select an app. Select whatever you opened prior to cool down mode (If you need to get into settings press the search button and search for settings after your out of CDM). You then need to do two things. Go to Running services (Settings>Applications>Running services), find detect battery service, touch it and stop it. To the best of my knowledge, it doesn`t do anything to your phone, other than activate cool down mode. Then go to manage applications (Settings>Applications>Manage applications) press your menu button and select filter> all applications. Find Battery protect, click on it, and select force stop. This allows your phone to get reception. You will have to do this every time your phone starts up, but it isn`t too much of a hassel for a truely excelent phone. The Cool down mode problem is definitly a software fault.

HELP!!
I have also had this same problem. My phone is STOCK I have not touched it. got the phone on last Monday working fine until the battery level ran right down yesterday, then I got message to "insert sim card!", ever since re-starting the phone I no longer can make calls!. I had no intension of rooting or messing with this phone and decided to wait until official ICS, but now what do I do?, is this a common problem?.
Tried previous instruction on this post, but unable to find any battery service running on the device.
Please help!!
I now also have this issue after updating to the latest firmware via Kies.
UPDATE: I got mine checked and it looks like the replacement unit I got had its SIM card broken. Dodgy eBay seller.
Just fyi, never insert MicroSim card adaptor in Galaxy Note. Mine works now after spending $100. Jeez
FYI, I tried all of the suggested solutions in this thread and I still have problem. So I returned the Note and got the AT&T version... At least now I got US Warranty
Same thing just happened to my phone. Rogers Galaxy note II.
Tried bunch of different SIM cards, none work.
Got the SIM reader app, phone reads SIM just fine. Data connection also works, but refuses to make voice calls "emergency only".
So pissed, wanna throw this phone against the wall.
Did anyone find a solid solution? Mine did this today, Stock never been rooted or anything! Any ideas?
From what i have read on the forums ( via search ) its not possible to dual boot ROM's on my SGT2 7 (8 GIG WIFI) . Is that true or can i dual boot ?
OK so if i can't dual boot ROM's can i do this :
If i was to make a back up of my current ROM and store it either on my SD card or on my laptop , will i have any issues if i flash another ROM on my tab and then at a later date recover from my original saved ROM ?
Whats the back up hold ? Is it absolutely everything physically on my tab such as games / game content , Appz and widgets and prefered system settings ect ?
Thanks.

No dual boot.
Yes backup backs up everything. Just make sure you flash same kernel to avoid restore issues.
Thanks for the information , appreciate it.
So I have this i957 at&t with the stock att ics 4.0.0.4 rom installed. Way better than honeycomb btw duh. So I sold my galaxy s3, and I want to use this device as my tablet and phone via bluetooth. Device rooted CWM installed etc. I bought a H20 sim card and threw it in the device, activated sim and everyhting. getting full bars.
The issue is I cannot get the Dialer to work. Dialer app is in the system folder, I have tried to install other dialers and it say's "cannot install"
I have no way to access my dialer and its pissing me off because i know there is 3g and 4g LTE ability on this device, H20 is att network with no unlock necessary (even though it is unlocked
Can anyone help me? am I s.o.l.? I dont want to have to install aokp rom again because its so unstable... Please help and thank you

Hi i am thinking of trying another rom out on my galaxy s GTi9000 .I am on pay as you go.last time i installed a new rom my phone automatically switched package data on and by the time i had set up my phone it had eaten some of my credit .Whats the best way to stop it from doing this..Can i just flash a new rom without installing my sim card and external sdcard ? I am guessing that by not having my sim installed it cannot charge me and i should be able to disable the package data setting before re installing my sim then add the sim back once set up.Is this correct.Thanks.
Yes i think so just flash rom without sim inside and then after the whole intro put your sim in.

Have always Installed Rom with Sim Inserted
Maybe down to APN Settings (always check to make sure they are configured properly for your Sim)
As well as Data Roaming option
If Pay as you go : use WiFi to save Data when ever you can

I never use my package data only wifi but when i installed a rom it switched package data on ..so i need to make sure it is off .I am thinking of installing your SAUROM GB JW9 v2 BLUE THEME version to try .I have tried xbean but had issues with media using 73% of my battery and draining it too quickly and getting really hot (apparently loads have had trouble with media when on jell bean etc ..back to stock rom on phone and it is now fine again.Have there been any issues on your rom ? i like to have loads of music files stored on my external sd card 32gb .
Just uploaded the JWB which is better in my opinion
Any issues if you have problems with the Rom let me know and just install as Stock Theme :victory:
No issues as of yet and try to fix as soon as possible
There is tweaks included and get Advanced Task manager which helps battery along with Power Schedle Basic
Both of these are very good tools.

Just follow my Guide on my signature to set it up ... word by word.
Basically Remove Samsung Kies all together on your PC if you have it (depending on what you need)
Reboot Computer
Install Samsung USB drivers
Reboot...and then open ODIN
Tick Re-Partition and put in PIT File then Follow Guide :good:
As long as its an i9000 your good to go!
If your Battery goes down fast or signal strength low just change the modem , will explain that when it happens

Thank you i understand now lol..Just out of curiosity if i was already rooted and had a different rom installed would i need to flash 2.3.6 again or would i not need to ?Thank you.
Yes starting to Flash any New Rom 2.3.6 needs to be flashed first then rooted to give you that Clean bug free Start point for installing any new Rom.
Then you need to Root it .
Doesnt matter if you allready Rooted with a JB or CM or the latest new GB rom still have to do it to be safe
Then follow guide

managed to get it seen on my laptop which is vista but still no go on my desktop pc which i prefer to use.Also i phoned my balance and got this error when phone connected - sorry the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly.please try again force close? also when i click on call log there is no umber showing after just dialing it before.What could be the cause of this thanks
Have you checked Enable Debugging to connect to PC in Development?
Also did you install USB Drivers correctly
Is it ok when you dial a call?
Error when incoming call?
Using Root Explorer or other app Copy and Replace this File in to System / App Folder and then Reboot Phone
Phone.apk HERE
Lets me know if this is the cause of the Problem

Thanks.
Try the file I gave which is the Original Phone.apk to see if its a problem with that file.
Also check your APN settings to make sure they are correct in Mobile networks
