Free unlock??

[mapol2000]

I've just downgraded my Note2 locked to Rogers 4.1.2. to 4.1.1.
and I believe I've done every steps that need to unlock my phone for free.

However, there is no way I can check if it's unlocked since I have no other sim card from other carrier.
I've wiped all data by doing downgrade. I am restoring my back up data from 4.1.2. on my current 4.1.1.

I heard that unlocked condition will stay as same even I upgrade back to 4.1.2. is it true?

Please, I need a help here
Thank you

I believe once its unlocked, it will stay unlocked.

There are easy to follow instructions on how to unlock the S3 as well as the Note2 for free around, I have followed the instructions and have tried it with a Rogers SIM card on my Telus S3 and it works fine.

*****Complete these steps at your own risk******

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

You can also find the instructions on XDA.
