Rogers Note 2 _ SGH-i317M
its seems works fine for you guys, but before i do those steps of hidden menu : should i flash or root my galaxy note 2 or can i do those steps with the original firmware and original ROM ?
i am gonna buy the galaxy note 2 from rogers and will use it with koodo mobile.
Thanks
I tried it without rooting my phone and it seems to be working just fine. I tried to put an international sim card and it worked.

It worked for me. I even put a friend's T-Mobile sim to confirm and it worked perfect. Just think, to unlock my iPhone 4, a kiosk at a mall wanted $125, since it has to be done with all this equipment and coordination from Apple (I said no thanks). I'm so happy to be moving away from Apple now.

Confirmed working on my device too. Also confirmed not working on Sprint and Verizon Note 2's (for good reason).
this is awesome
Anyone on Telus try this?
Has anyone on Telus attempted the unlock? I would like to try but meh I'm in contract for 3 years anyway.
But wait, I could buy a sim for an American provider when I travel there and use it right? Pay as you go?
I've done it on a T889V and it's worked like a charm.
You could get a microSIM from T-Mobile, AT&T, or any MVNO of those two and put an end to atrocious roaming charges. Throw in a calling card or a VoIP forwarding setup and your minutes to and from home will cost you pennies.
Awesome I just did this on my Telus rooted Note2 as well as my wife's non rooted SIII on Bell, then swapped the sims and successfully made phone calls.

Great job
I confirm the correct operation of the method on Galaxy Note 2 (i317m) locked on rogers and Galaxy s3 as well locked on Bell. LTE and 4g Works fine also after the unlocking.
The method works well.
When you click on PERSO SHA256 OFF you can show a message like MENU NOT EXIST ; it does not bother, just click on it again and continue.
Once the phone is restarted the unlock will be done with success.
for galaxy note 2
1-put a different sim card on the phone
2-dial *#197328640#
3-Clic on [1]UMTS
4-Clic on [1]DEBUG SCREEN
5-Clic on [8]PHONE CONTROL
6-Clic on [6]NETWORK LOCK
7-Clic on [3]PERSO SHA256 OFF (wait 30 seconde)
8-Clic on [4]NW LOCK NV DATA INITIALLIZ
wait 1 minute and reboot the phone. After wait between 1 and 5 minute
Sorry for my english ...
Thanks a lot OP

I don't know if my method works all the time and if it's safe, but with GalaxSim Unlock, an app made for SG S3 (S3 has a very similar hardware it seems), my Note 2 N7100 is unlocked....
Maybe contact the author of the app on the market.
My carrier branded one was unlocked already. Worth a try.

Unlocking NOTE 2 GT-N7105 -APN issue-

Here is the thing.
I had N7105 unlocked by a box(no other unlock suchs has APK unlock was able due to a diferent knowe arquitecture, i have been told) (not even GalaxSym ..--emailed the programmer--..)
The problm is that 4G doesnt work in other operator than the one that came with the card (they both support 4G and are 4G sim card)
The phone came with TMN operator, i am OPTIMUS(aka orange) user....in TMN instantly 4G boots up...change to OPTIMUS sim...NOTHING...3G or 4G.....have to go to APN, choose one and activate manually(if i dont activate it wont work), then....set APN to standard setings(if not it wont work)......all those steps just to get the 3G working......reboot phone and all those steps all over again to get AGAIN 3G.....4G forget....
And the TMN APN is editable if i choose to....OPTIMUS no...greyish settings uneditable....
The phone is stock rom rooted.
Any help?
(the phone is in Portuguese...) I described the steps has more similar has i could.
Tried using GalaxSim just recently myself. Says, "Unable to read NV data" and all of the details are undefined. Using an AT&T Galaxy Note 2 (SGH-i317).
I flashed the fully stock rooted ROM posted by MrRobinson (doesn't trip the flash counter or interfere with OTA, just adds root). Checked and confirmed I'm rooted (TI Backup and GalaxSim both report root). Also installed BusyBox from the market, just to see if somehow that wasn't quite right. Nothing seems to have helped.
Would love to use GalaxSim rather than one of the services like SIM-unlocker.net. Anybody have any ideas?
Unfortunately, it won't work with your model which has a Qualcomm chip for its radio part. I7100 is supported as its full exynos

Here many services are available to unlock your Samsung galaxy note 2 mobile phone.I would recommend the site Unlock-Zone.com here they ask your country from where you bought it and service provider. Then they deliver unlock code to you.
unlock galaxy note 2
Turn on phone with non accepted SIM card.
Phone will prompt you for unlock code.
Enter unlock code we have provided you.
Phone will accept unlock code and now your At&t Samsung Galaxy Note 2 SGH-I317 is unlocked.

I have an iPhone 5 and I'm on AT&T and have it up for trade.
Someone has a tmobile note 2 and wants to trade
He said he can get them both unlocked. And the tmobile will work fine
On AT&T.
My questions are will it work and if I want to flash custom Roms will this mess up the unlocking?
I have searched all over and can't tell some people say everything but LTE works and some say not.
It's confusing. I need the phone to work on AT&T and not have to worry about messing up the unlock.
It should still be unlocked but you should get the code just in case.

Hey guys,
I got scammed on craigslist and the guy won't respond. So I bought a T-mobile Galaxy S3 and it worked fine for over a week until 2 days ago when it stopped connecting or registering to the T-mobile network. I found out from T-mobile it was blacklisted as stolen/lost that day. I called to confirm the phone wasn't stolen or lost when I bought it. The T-mobile store says there is nothing they can do except offer me a new phone from the store to pay full price.
Can I unlock a phone marked as stolen/lost using an unlock code and use it on AT&T?
I tried searching the forum and I found a thread about a guy who already had the phone unlocked so he was able to use it on AT&T but in my case, the phone is not unlocked yet but is blocked from T-mobile networks.
Thanks in advance,
Buzz
Well if you unlock it before the whole illegal thing starts you can use it on AT&T.

1111+ Thats correct I have tried every rom out there from att and it worked on my tmobile s3. Now for the op. looks for the thread on general there is one that shows you how to unlock your phone without a code. It was meant to be for the note2 but it worked on all us s3's I have mine unlock that way put in my friends att sim and it worked fine only thing that the speed its a little slower not 2G though. And thats because att's 4g its 20ish not 42.
Any ways. If you were called tmobile and talk to a superviser they can change the IMEI number on their system and the phone would come back to work in 48 hours.
I know because It have happened to me too. It doesnt matter if you have your tmobile sim on it for at least a day tmobile computers will register that phone onto your network.
P.S the only thing that will changed from a ATT rom is that build.prop It will show that its an att rom but you can edit it to d2tmo with root explorer
Just don't flash other modems from other carriers that will Brick you.

And you are correct there are about 5 threads in this section, and probably the same number in each other note 2 forum.

Yes, it does work with AT&T and any other Sim cards. It is completely unlock
just like using the code from T-mo.
However, you HAVE to be on UVALK8 or lower for this method to work.
It will NOT work with LL4, as they patch the "hole".
This method is some months old and from time to time somebody resurface it, but that is not bad as people tend to forget.

Thank you for your feedback. I am doing the same thing as well. Nice phone, but AT&T was not very good for me after I switched from T-Mobile and the Note II. I am on T-Mobile now, so it's slightly better, but everything but Verizon sucks in my area, but Verizon charges too much. They need a prepaid $60 plan w/ 4G LTE and I will go with them (at the expensive of having a CDMA phone without flexibility to just pop different companies' sim cards.)
Np I use a tmobile note 3 paying around 140 for 2 phones and unld lte. Best service so far. Next to vzw.
