Trick 2 Carrier Unlock Galaxy Note 2 N7100 / N7105 For Free (May Work On Some Galaxy S3 Variants – Not All)
This method relies on Samsung’s
hidden menu. It works on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and those who are using
older Android firmwares such as Ice Cream Sandwich or Gingerbread may
not see some of the menu choices appear. Even though battery charging is
not a pre-requisite for this particular method, it wouldn’t harm you to
do so. The guide is applicable on model number N7100 and N7105. The
developer has also stated that it may work on some Galaxy S3 variants,
but not all of them. Please note that you’re trying the unlock at your
own risk, and we won’t be responsible if the device becomes
unresponsive.
Please make sure the device you’re applying the method on is currently locked. To make sure, insert any other SIM card and your device won’t see the bars in the signal area. Read ahead if you’re on a locked handset.
