How to unlock Samsung Hercules – T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II unlock code

Unlock Samsung Hercules - Unlock Samsung Galaxy S II T-Mobile

This guide will walk you through unlocking the Samsung Hercules, the recently confirmed Samsung Galaxy S II headed to T-Mobile. As usual included in the guide are some links to reviews and speculation on specs and even some leaked pics. T-Mobile will hold a press event at the end of August to announce the phone, so stay tuned for more details.

As with any unlock code, it’s dependent upon your IMEI so you’ll need to know what your IMEI is before you begin on any unlocking journey. The IMEI can be found by typing *#06* on the Samsung Hercules keypad, or in most cases you can find your IMEI listed on a sticker underneath the battery. Your IMEI will be the first 15 digits.

Once you’ve located your IME, you’re ready to unlock your phone and wont need a cable or any software to do it. It’s usually pretty hard to get unlock codes for new phones from the carrier, so you may end up having to purchase one. If you do, try the two sites linked to in the box at the top of the right column. We’ll also link to a couple sources below in the unlock guide.
