hi all
ive just bought a second hand note 2 (gt n7105) on the 3 network
ive already requested an unlock code which 3 sent but it doesn't work all I get is unlock unsuccessful when I enter the code even after a factory reset
so I went down the ebay route of buying the code (which turned out to be the same one 3 sent me) and a unfreeze code
entered both still no luck, im still getting the sim network unlock prompt after a reboot but still no mension of a freeze message so im guessing its not hardlocked yet? although ive tried numerous times now to no avail
when I bought the phone I couldn't update "OTA" it said phone is modified or something and when I checked the about phone it said custom
I did notice there was an app called super su on the phone but didn't work when I tried to open it, at thispoint I didn't know what it was as ive never bothered to try and root or mess with a phone. I downloaded Samsung kies and basicly restored the phone (was already on 4.3) now the about phone bit says official but the weird thing is when I factory reset the phone the language was in german? (phone bought from Birmingham England)
im not sure what else I can do to get it unlocked properly without having to hack the phone somehow
is this a common issue? or fixable?
appologies if this has been covered but im going around in circles with it and 3 and Samsung are bloody useless
