I am thinking of free unlock methods , since its hardware is nearly exactly same as the Galaxy S2 which can be unlocked free from the market.
Why not just ROM from SIM free EU Note using Odin?
I've done it few times over the weekend to restore the phone, it should remove all the carrier crap inc SIM lock.

Anyone test this app?

No success with KJ1

SG Note unlocked from leaving factory in the UK.
As for flashing a rom to remove carrier crap, thats just debranding, flashing a rom or kernel does not affect its network lock status, that is a completely different thing to flashing.
cellunlocker is one of the cheapes and most effective ways, and is guaranteed 100% or your money back.

unlocking the phone to use any carrier sim card

Hi,
I'm from Chile and I've been in France for the last year and I bought a Note here with Orange (carrier).
I'm leaving again to my country and obviusly I would like to keep using my Note and using any carrier.
Looking around i got a little confused and I have some questions.
- Is unloking the simcard (i found some apps to do that) the same to unlocking the phone to use any carrier sim card?
- If not, what does unlock the simcard means? and there is a way (app or method) to do the second?
- If yes, a good app to do it? is GalaxySim Unlock a good one?

[Q] How to use an Indian SGA in USA

Hi,
I bought my SGA from India. I will be in US for 2 months. When I inserted a US SIM in my phone, no network was shown.
Is it because of the difference in frequency bands of GSM in India and USA? But isn't SGA quad-band? (850/900/1800/1900)?
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance..
Indian Ace should work in USA too..
Actually, I traveled to USA with my Indian Galaxy Ace and it worked for me. I tried international roaming with my AirTel number and also tried AT&T network at USA.
have you unlocked your phone already?
if you're rooted you can use galaxy ace unlock. it's free and easily gets you the code needed for unlocking.
just search for it on the play store

Flashing US version of android firmware may solve the issue.

I haven't unlocked my phone, but have rooted it. I don't think Indian Phones are locked.

Yes u r correct. Indian fones are not locked. Try a US based firmware or try Network Settings- Auto detect Carrier and choose mode to Auto.

Have to install a custom recovery before you can install any kernal,
To unlock it buy a unlock code as far as im aware there is no way to do this other then that. I started a thread about unlock on this device before.
Also all the information you need can be found in the sp c5303 forums, Go take a look

Sim unlocking and bootloader unlocking are Completely different.
To flash custom kernels,you need your bootloader unlocked search on Google Sony sp bootloader unlock for guide etc.
To unlock sim to any network then you need to buy a code or take to local phone shop for them to unlock.
Rooting will never give you these options it just allows you to customise your phone, give you control over device.

OK. I may be being thick here. I have googled guides as suggested, but my bootlocker status says NO. So, not possible? And the 2 sites i tried for sim unlock both were unable to get a code and refunded my money...
Help?

Your bootloader is locked because your SIM is locked. Your carrier can give you an unlock code if you're not on contract
