Very good article.
ReplyDeleteI too like to share my knowledge about unlocking Samsung Galaxy phones.
Samsung Galaxy NOTE phones can be unlocked safely ,easily and permanently using unlock code . We can get the unlock code from our service provider or from online sites like WickedUnlock.com . This method of using unlock codes to unlock the phone won't void its warranty. Whereas using software and applications to unlock will void the warranty and may damage the phone permanently if not used properly.
thanks a bunch now i dont have to pay 30 bucks to unlock my note. thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI often got an error when I try to flash with your file :
"E:signature verification failed"
Hi, i tried to unlock my galaxy note 3 but didn't work as samsung blocked access the main menu, finally used a site Codes2unlock.com to get unlock code and simply unlocked.
