Hello Seniors,
I am new here so greetings! I am new to the Android world so need help on some basic things.
I have this Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 bought from Saudi Arabia and the OS was ICS 4.0.3 XXLPW. I flashed it to ICS 4.0.4 XWLPW lately with Odin and it works fine.
Model: GT i9100
ICS 4.0.4
Baseband: i9100DDLPB
Kernel V: 3.0.15-1056084 dpi@DELL168 #3 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 22 22:55:24 KST 2012
Build N: IMM76D.XWLPW
Now I am all into rooting my phone (first attempt and newbie) and I got two good threads that describes the procedure for my exact Android Version.
How to Root XWLPW Android 4.0.4 ICS on Galaxy S2 I9100 - Tutorial / Guide | Team Android
How To Root Galaxy S2 ICS 4.0.4 XWLPW ? | Technoxide - Android , Windows , Linux , iOS , Symbian Techs
The second link seems far too easy. Question, first link says I have to Factory Unlock my phone the other one is not even mentioning it, what is Factory Unlocking my S2? How to do it? Or how to check if I am already factory unlocked?
After buying and using my S2 from Saudi Arabia I had been on vacation in India where I normally used Vodafone India SIM too, without any hassles or notifications........IF THAT'S ALL WHAT BEING FACTORY UNLOCKED IS UP TO!?
Appreciate some good tips.
Thanks.
