all JB ROMs will sim lock your device and flashing the network lock fix + s2 unlock will not work. It's a strange situation where you can receive sms and place a phone call, but after first phone call, you lose the network signal and are unable to connect back to network. every time you go into settings - mobile network it tells you to insert sim. also data connectivity doesn't work at all.
anyone have any fixes or workarounds for this ?
only fix at the moment is to go back to ICS where the network lock + s2 unlock works :fingers-crossed:
seems i solved this myself :highfive: good news everyone, we can unlock it for free
seems i was able to solve it. the issue is that the network unlock apk and s unlock will only partially unlock your Note. so when you upgrade to another rom, because you only have a partial unlock it will re-lock your phone. the solution is to use the following tool galaxysim (
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846451) when you are on ICS or GB (i have only tried this on ICS, so not 100% sure if it will work on GB). i would recommend you use the apk from xda and not the one from market, also do not update the app to latest version, use the apk from xda.
What i have done is :
1) Run tool from ICS and unlock. I already had partial unlock with network unlock from Criskelo and galaxy_s unlock from Helroz. GalaxySim now show full unlock.
2) Upgraded to JB ROM, phone did not ask for network unlock code as usual, phone was already fully locked.
I would recommend that you check the status of your sim lock before each upgrade to another ROM with GalaxySim and fully unlock it.
It's this easy. Took a while to figure it out, but hope it will help you.
