Unlock Galaxy Note 2 by hidden menu.

Hi everyone.
I got my Note 2 in November it came with firmware 4.1.1 and baseband is I317MVLAJ2. I unlocked it with this method it works. Then rooted the device installed Custom Rom. Everything is fine but recently I connect my phone to computer. Samsumg Keir is telling me there is an update 4.1.2 with new baseband (I371MVLBMA3). So my question is if I restore back (unroot) to original firmware 4.1.1. Will I lose the carrier unlock.
Anyone no anything please let me know.
Many Thanks

Thanks for reply. Is it mean permanent unlock? Even if I unroot with Samsung official late firmware 4.1.2.???
Right now I have 3 options to update to the latest modem I371MVLBMA3.
1) Unroot with Samsung official 4.1.1 then do the update through the phone.
2) Unroot with latest Samsung official firmware 4.1.2
3) Pickup the Canadian modem ( I371MVLBMA3.zip) from Xda and flash it to my existing Custom Rom.
Anyway, I don't care which option to use but at the end. I have an updated modem and my note2 still carrier unlock.
Any thoughts are highly appreciated. Thank s

IF u see "RAT_FREE_SUPPORITNG ON" or "RAT_FREE_SUPPORTTING ON", update your modem/baseband.
After update, you should see [4]NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ and then you are good to unlock.
Noob need some thanks, if this helps!

Did you update to latest firmware? You have to be on 4.1.1 for this to work and not on 4.1.2
I didnt do update, I bought this phone today and it came with 4.1.2 installed. So that means this procedure only works with 4.1 and 4.1.1?
This is a good way to revert back to 4.1.1
