Got it working, left off the asterisk at first and got an error message so if you get "Unable to Process Request" make sure you entered the dial sequence correctly.

Works fine on my T-Mobile Note 2 with an AT&T SIM card.
My question would be since the T-Mobile and AT&T hardware is the same, if I could enable the LTE on the device?

How do you test it to see if it is unlocked with putting another SIM card in it? Thanks

EDIT: I tested it with my my wife's t mobile SIM card and it DOES work for the ATT model! I was trying to avoid taking my case of because it is a two pick case and tight! (Seidio)

Thanks OP!

If you put a SIM that's not your carrier's and you have service then it is unlocked. If it asks for an unlock code then it's not unlocked. Just try doing the steps again; one person mentioned it not working the first time but it worked the second time.

It worked! I was just trying to keep from taking my case off to test it but did and used my wife's T mobile SIM.

    Please read the whole thread if you can or at least the whole OP down to the bottom before asking questions as your question might have already been answered... Thank you...

    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

    Just dial the following keys *#197328640#

    Main Menu > [1] UMTS > [1] Debug Screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] Network Lock > Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF > (after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button then select Back, now you are in [6] Network Lock then choose [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ..... wait for a minute then reboot your phone... enjoy!!! 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.

    It 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.

    Hey guys, I just wanted to know is this a permanent unlock. I mean if I go back to stock will it reset my sins as well? Thanks

    Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app

    You need to go to church to reset your sins, not stock! ;)

    This is really GREAT NEWS ...

    Have anyone tried to see if it still works after the FACTORY RESET.

    I did a factory reset on my AT&T model and the unlock was still intact!

    Can anyone confirm that this is a full sim unlock?

    I have tried 3, O2, giffgaff, and an Asian roaming sim and the phone have signal and does not prompt for network password like it did before unlocking...
