Galaxy S II / SGH-T989

Samsung Galaxy S II / SGH-T989

To unlock the device, you need to be using the UVLE1 radio. This is used with an Android 4.0 ROM.

The Android 4.0 ROM I used was called "TechNiqCality" (do a search for "TechNiqCality_3.0.zip").

I first found the information on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024514

Once you unlock with UVLE1 / Android 4.0, you can then flash anything else (the current CyanogenMod, stock Samsung 4.1.2, etc). The unlock should remain permanent.
