I did a factory reset on my AT&T model and the unlock was still intact!
THANKS from Canada
You just made my night!!! Thank you.
I'm on Virgin Mobile Canada and of course VMC doesn't carry the Note 2. For some reason Bell and Telus want to charge $30 more for their Note 2 then Rogers. So I am going to go buy a Rogers phone and try this.

help!
How did you unlock the phone? When I tried to unlock my SGH-i317, it doesn't ask for sim unlock code but it does show up with "phone not allowed MM#6" and when I try to make a phone call it says "emergency call only"
Can anyone show me in more detail what they see when they are doing the procedure?? This is really bad, now i don't think I can even unlock it through the unlock website anymore since we don't have the option of putting in the unlock code...

I don't have a sim card to test it with (and quiet frankly I don't really need unlock it, but if it's available then why not?). So I've tried this on ATT Note 2 and Galaxy S3. On both phones I had exactly same result, which was little different then expected based on the guide above:
after "Perso SHA256 OFF" I saw a number 3 appeared on top of the screen for a split of a second and it returned to the "[6] Network Lock" menu. My understanding there was supposed to be something else happening and we have to go back to "[6] Network Lock"?
Well, at first I thought my tap didn't register so I tapped on "Perso SHA256 OFF" again, but this time it showed me "MENU NOT EXIST"
At which point I continue carry on with the instructions. After reboot I tried do it again, but now "[4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ" it shows "SHA256_ENABLE_FLAG [0]
SHA256_OFF => Not Change"
Is this normal?

anyone know if its possible to reverse this code???it seems the wifi isnt as fast as it used to be ,also it shows bars with out a sim!!.lol wtf? is that about???
Seems to have worked!
I can make phone calls/access data no problem. I wonder how this compared to an actual unlock? Is there any "side effects" to this method?
Also, the top of the status bar doesn't say my provider name (Bell) in this case. The top left status bar just appears as empty. Might have just been that way before as well. :fingers-crossed:

Right on! What sim card did you try? Wind?

Do you hit restart while you are in the service menu? Of do you hit the home button first, then restart?

Hi guys, you can unlock you N7105 via the Samsung hidden menu. [Also works with N7100 and some Galaxy S3 (SIII) variants - NOT ALL]
#############################################
I can confirm the unlock survives ROM flashing
#############################################
Before doing the instructions below, please double check your phone that it is actually LOCKED by inserting a sim card from a different carrier/provider...you may or may not leave that sim card on the phone while unlocking
Note: your phone must be running at least Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (if 4.1.1 does not work, try 4.1.0) otherwise some of the menu choices are not present

There is no confirmation on the phone that the unlock was successfull.... just reboot your phone....
To test, just insert a sim card from a different carrier/provider. If the new sim card works then your phone is now unlocked.
I have done this to my other Note 2 N7105 originally locked to Orange.....
========================================
Do this procedure AT YOUR OWN RISK
========================================
To those who were able to unlock their phone with the method above, can you please post in the thread and let us know which phone model (N7100 or N7105) you have, Country and Network/Carrier your phone was locked to...... and if I have saved you some cash, please click the Thanks button or the Donate button on the left just below my name to buy me a can/bottle of Heinekken, Quilmes, Budweiser, Fosters, Tiger, Stella Artois, or San Miguel :cyclops: ...
========================================
NOTICE:
To those having "Conditional Call Forwarding" pop up message or similar pop ups appear everytime you make a call (but they disappear within a few seconds), this is normal with an old sim card, or when using a ported number. There is no restriction to calls or internet or whatever. This is confirmed by my provider when I walked in and asked them about it. They even showed me one of their sample Note 2's and S3's having the same message.
========================================
I have mentioned in my old thread that there was a pop up message that says "Conditional call forwarding active" everytime I make a phone call using another SIm card that the phone was not able to use before unlocking.
I can confirm that this was due to my Sim card. It is a very old O2 sim card that I have used for years. I have tried that Sim card on another factory unlocked phone (Galaxy i8160 bought from P4u) and it had the same message.7It seems that 4.1.1 it was there, but they removed it in 4.1.2 (just last week) -- and, naturally, I only decided to travel to the US (and hence looked for unlocking howto) after I upgraded
If that's the case, obviously Samsung is taking out this option. If so, like BajanMan said, flash previous version using ODIN and then unlock your Note 2.
Speaking of Previous Version, you can find previous Firmwares over at SamMobile. It seems you are in Luck. They have KIES Version of 4.1.1 for your NOTE 2. This should be walk in a park as you don't have to use ODIN. Just use KIES to go backwards. Unlock it and then go back Forward again.
Kindly hit the Thanks button if this was useful.4
