I have a SIII bought when I was in Canada. The exact model is i747m.
Now I'm back to italy and I can't use it because it prompt for network unlock code.
Is there any way to get it or to unlock the phone for a free use - like debranding or flashing some italian rom?
Thanks in advance

You will need to contact the original carrier for an unlock code (Rogers, Telus, Bell, ect...) Once you insert an Italian SIM card it will ask for the unlock code that the carrier provided. There are also pay services online
to obtain an unlock code for a fee.
Lastly, you can never flash international ROMs to the i747m. You must stick with ROMs that were designed for that specific model which can be found in this forum. Flashing an international ROM could cause the device to hard brick.

R: [Q] Unlock i747m
So, the only two things I can do are contact Telus or paying some other service for the code?
Will Telus make me play?

That is correct.
Generally the carrier (Telus in your case) will not make you pay. But they can say no if the phone never completed its original contract, was stolen or anything like that. If that is the case your only alternative is a paid service.

You can unlock it for free yourself. But you need to be on stock ROM in order for this to work.

Just be very careful with this method. Users have reported complications including loss of data with this method.

since you bought the phone in canada, buy an unlock code from mobileincanada.com - you'll need to know which provider this phone is / was for. it'll cost you $20 plus tax. oh and this is permanent unlock.
good luck.

Hello
I've been searching this forums for the past two hours searching for a clear answer to my question but I haven't found anything accurate.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III sgh-t999v bought from Wind in Canada and I have know left the country for Europe.
when I bought the phone I was told that it was unlocked but when I try using my new sim it keeps telling me I need an unlock code.
What I would like to know is if my phone can be unlocked to be used here in Europe without the unlock code?
Does flashing/rooting my phone makes it unlocked?
I appreciate any help/answers to my problem.
Thank you guys.

No. Rooting your phone does not gsm unlock it. Either call your carrier and ask for the unlock code .. or pay online for one.

Like crisis stated just call your carrier and ask for an unlock code... Your account has to be in good state I believe. Or else pay.

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
Check n7105 development section.
It has instructions with a working free unlock

Ah bummer, thanks for the quick response though! Guess I'll have to buy a code through one of those sim-unlock.net type things.
@expertzero1 Sorry, didn't see your post until well after I'd responded. The method outlined in the n7105 development section worked perfectly for me. Thank you for the heads-up!

Turn on phone with non accepted SIM card.

Enter unlock code we have provided you.

Is the device "unlocked" if it "rooted"
Answer = They are different things not related.

It is said the Bell Device can use a Rogers SIM after unlock but not a Wind SIM.
I have unlocked my phone by downgrade to 4.1.1 stock rom.
When I insert the Wind SIM, detected the network but only the roaming network, and I can not register to that network.
When I change to a Rogers SIM, everything works fine.
Does anyone know if there is a way to configure the Bell i747M for a Wind SIM?
Thanks a lot.
I just bought a N7100 however it seems to be network locked.
I could not find any unlocker who would provide network unlock code for Puerto Rico - Claro branded Samsung Note 2 N7100.
My only other option is to unlock it by code however I do not know which ROM/Kernel/modem combo would allow me to use the code
*#197328640#
The one that comes with the phone is Claro stock 4.3. I rooted it and flashed several stock 4.1.2 but the option "[6] Network Lock" and " [3] Perso SHA 256 " are not availble to change.
Can anyone tell me which ROM/kernel/modem would allow me to remove the network lock? Thanks in advance.
Take a look here, is for note 3, communicate with the developer maybe is possible to try at note 2 also.

None of the 4.1.1 stock would give me network unlock prompt via the hiden menu.
It was also difficult finding unlocking via imei because the imei unlock coxe database was off of latin america despite the fact that Puerto Rico belong to USA.
I just found a Canadian unlocker who used USB method. He unlocked my n7100 in 30 minutes through remote access. Cost was 20 US dollars. It has been working great so far.
I thought I was gonna be stuck with a unlockable phone thats as good as a dead brick. Anyhow Thanks for your help guys.
