    Most of those codes are extremely out of date and actually predate Android handsets (they can also damage the handset by damaging the chipset and corrupting the IMEI, so be careful).

    I would reiterate my original advice, find a decent unlocker shop with the right equipment, let them unlock it for £10. It's the only safe way other than the network code. Phone around or take a trip into your town centre and ask around the shops. I've actually confirmed with someone currently doing unlocking that the N7000 is definitely unlockable via cable and box.

    OK I will give it a go..
