I'm still confused about how to use my phone that bought from Nordic area in Asia region? I heard about unlock sim, but some of members in thhis forum failed. What should I do?
Hi all,
I have a note 2 N7100 4.3
AP XXUEMK9
CP XXUEMJ9
CSC BTUEMK2
This is unlocked to UK networks. I tried to use the phone while in Africa and Asia, while on holiday and I couldnt. So I tried to downgrade it to 4.1. Triggered knox and almost softbricked. Now back to stock as above.
I have rooted the phone with superroot and the knox has been turned off. Tried Region Lock Away (Chainfire) Didnt work.
Can I now safely downgrade to 4.1? Any experiences?
What if I ODIN an Asian ROM. Will it then take an asian SIM?
Also, has anyone managed to unlock the region lock for the new samsung phones? I was told that I have to use a UK SIM in the phone when I go to Asia and make a 5 min call. Then the region lock should go away. This was from Samsung UK tech support. Has anyone tried this?
Thanks for your time and effort
I need help on new Samsung model A70 Region unlock, the one way is call for 5 minutes using a sim card and phone will be Region unlocked but I need some firmware patch or method which is fast and easy. if some developer or user can suggest some thing.

...because I use the phone in Europe. Given the firmware is North America I was wondering whether I need to change the modem in ODIN to get better reception/ 5g in Europe. The last Samsung I owned was the S4 where updating the modem to your region was ubiquitary. Not sure if this is still necessary and doable., so hoping for some advice.
Second question: I have a US S20 locked to AT&T. Will flashing the U1 firmware (incl. factory reset) also unlock the phone?
Cheers!

You can't mix exynos firmware and Snapdragon. I doubt you can use just the modem portion of a European exynos code. You can flash U1 code freely, but that does not unlock the bootloader. Do you mean you can't put any sim other than AT&T?
I didn't mean to unlock the bootloader (since that's not possible for US phones) but the sim so I can use my German sim card in Europe in this phone.

Do you know if I run the risk to brick my device if I tried to combine the exynos modem with a snapdragon rom? Cause otherwise I might just try it.
I'm in the United States with the bootloader locked. If I used SamKeyl to flash, say, a South Korean CSC and flashed a South Korean firmware, would that allow bootloader to be unlocked?
And would the bootloader remain unlocked if I flashed a United States firmware afterwards?
CSC has nothing to bootloader unlock.
