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.

The note must be rooted??
Thanks

Don't worry, it will work perfectly
Needs root though.

Just posted in another thread that Spocky's unlock app works just great and out of the box...
Many thanks!

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!

There's a thread in the N7105 section, untested on n7100 but may work...

Expertzero1 already took care of this. The method outlined the worked just fine for the AT&T model. There's still the problem of getting above Edge on T-Mobile, but that's another problem...

unlock code
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.
Solved! Go to Solution

Unlock Problem

Can T-mobile Note2 unlock sim to be use in HK? Of course HK sim!
My friend is thinking unroot the Note2 or not but worry that stok T-mobile ROM can't unlock for HK sim card

Once unlocked it can be used with any gsm service.

Unlocking a sgn2 on O2 network (uk)

Hi folks.
I'm switching networks from O2 to talktalk (vodafone) and I'm wondering if anyone can direct me to a free method of doing this. I've watched the videos on youtube that allow it to be done by dialing “*#197328640#” on the phone but when I enter the network lock section it says "MENU NOT EXIST"
I'm guessing this is an O2 thing so can anyone help me find a way to get my device unlocked?
ps. Hope I have this in the correct section. I've also tried searching on here but no joy.
Thanks

GalaxSim worth the couple of bucks.

I think you have to downgrade to a 4.1.1 rom first, unlock your phone then flash a 4.1.2 rom.

I've tried using galaxsim but I'm getting
"unable to read NV data"
You guys are saying it's worth the money but the app appears to be free. I can't see a paid version only a free version.

It will ask you to buy if you want to use it to unlock.

Thanks for the reply's folks.
I downgraded to 4.1.1 to try using the *#197328640# method but that hasn't worked.
I've tried using the old version kdogguk posted but i'm getting invalid IEMI number now but it's saying my phone is unlocked
my phone is locked tho as it won't take my new talktalk sim.
My phone was stuck on boot screen when I downgraded and I had to root though odin then reset it before it would work so I think I've downgraded to the wrong firmware as it is now branded O2 firmware where as before even tho it was locked to O2 the firmware was neutral (not O2 branded).
I've rooted as I said but it won't install custom roms so I have a problem now. Going to upgrade to 4.1.2 but need to make sure I have the right firmware this time.
I'm having some time of it right now lol

This galaxysim app is now saying my phone is unlocked but it won't take my talktalk (vodafone) sim

Still no luck? My note 2 was on o2 first thing I done was root it, tried that code but didnt work then used galaxsim its free but said it could be done paying £2 something. Then I installed a standard btu rom. Funny thing is not tried diffe sim yet. Just hate locked phones
Where abouts in UK are you?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

on my phone it says my device is unlocked but when i try to call any number it says not registered on network, what's the problem?

turn off data. turn off mobile. turn them back on. reboot.

Galaxsim was saying my phone is unlocked but it wouldn't take my talktalk sim. I ended up paying £9 to get it unlocked on ebay. Working fine now.

Strange because my phone is O2 but I've been running it with a 3 sim from day one.
They should be unlocked by default.

unlock tmobil s3 problems

I have an s3 that i was selling to mother in law to use on consumer cellular. T mobile provided an unlock code that does not work. They are supposedly investigating this. I tried to pay an online unlocker for a code, I told them the code t mobile provided that did not work, They were unable to generate an unlock code ,
What is is going on. T mobile sim locks phones and then cant provoide correct unlock codes??
What other option do i have?
This seems like a bunch of BS on tmobile part.

Selling to MiL ? I'd give for free if I were you.
Seriously speaking, you can take the phone to a T-Mobile store for further investigation. If the code does not work, don't try it repeatedly. The phone will lockup for good.
If the code did not work, make sure the T-Mobile Rep has taken down your IMEI correctly. Make them repeat it to make sure its correct.
There are other ways to unlock. But in order to try them, I need to know what android version you have right now. Its listed in Settings > About.

Its running stock rooted 4.3 with stocm recovery and some bloat removed. Have verified t mo has correct imei. Have tried 2 old centennial wireless sims and an old at&t sim. No luck.

Since you are on 4.3, the other way to unlock is out of question. Please take the phone to a T-Mo Store after you get the new unlock code.

I am having the same problem.
I just got done with TMO online chat and they said to make sure the WiFi is off before you do it.
I am going to try this when I get home.

Check out chainfires Region Lock Away app on the play store or here on xda. Its built for the note3 on 4.3 firmware, but ive seen claims it works on the S3 and others. I suggest reading the thread to be certain, but it may be a viable option for those running 4.3 rooted.
