i am from Singapore and i just got a note 2 i don't understand something
-in Singapore are carriers suppose to unlock their network and it is a must?
-and if it is unlocked do i just have to type in "fastboot oem unlock" and the boot loader will be unlocked?
-or do i just have to root my phone ?
-or if your carrier is already unlocked, it is as if your boot loader is also unlocked
By the way I am using the lte version.
if there is a need to unlock boot loader and my method is wrong ,can someone give me a tutorial,a youtube video or a step by step guide thank you,
In singapore if its local set it is unlocked by legislation. Therefor its not needed to unlock any carrier. What are u trying to do with it anyway that u need an unlocked bootloader unlike htc phones. Yur trying to change radios?

Hello everyone
I just got a note 2 off mining and it's locked to Bell. I want to unlock it to work with other carriers. I know that there is a way to self unlock but you need an older version of android. My note is 4.3 and I read that trying to downgrade will get my device bricked. So, being new and unexperienced at this, can someone recommend me what to do? Is there a safe way to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1 or should I just pay someone to unlock it? If the latter, is there a really cheap online unlocking for Canadian carriers?
Thank you for your help
Maybe I have missed it somewhere in the forums but I'm looking at upgrading out of my note 3. I lost root a while back. Now in my search for the next rootable phone I've come across a lot of UNLOCKED NOTE 4 VZW . What does that mean when it comes to root-ability? I understand you can unlock bootloader and you can unlock sims. What does it mean to advertise a unlocked phone and will it be rootable.

Be careful when buying an "unlocked" Note 4 (or any phone for that matter). The only model of the Note 4 than can be rooted is the Developer Edition. I suspect the term "unlocked" as used on Swappa means "SIM Unlocked", not bootloader unlocked. Only the Developer Edition Note 4s have an unlocked bootloader.

Question: I'm about to unlock my Note 5 via AT&T giving me the unlock, once I unlock my device will I be able to root the device as if it were any other note 5 root? Or am I stuck with this AT&T root problem because I bought the AT&T model?
you are stuck

Root got nothing to do with sim unlock.

Can I get a procedure for unlocking this phone for free. Cannot downgrade the s/w as it will brick the phone definitely. Don't want to root it. Need network unlock key.
Thanks in advance.
You could contact A&T and request a free unlock code. If they won't give it, you'll have to buy a code.
Don't trust payment sites. Many free services may be available. OEM won't give code it appears. Need just network lock key.
Can someone help please ?
I use ebay all the time to buy unlock codes. I don't trust free sites and I do not use online unlockers.
I747M with 4.3 Android is unlockable via ServiceMenu, perso SHA off, and NV rebuild/restore; procedure is described elsewhere on the forum. I successfully unlocked one and tested it -- works.
Cheers
