I guess it depends of the context of the world 'lock'. Although the Scandinavian isn't, I believe most stock phones (certainly the carrier branded ones) would be SIM locked as well as firmware locked (can't flash an unsigned image). This would both be different from the ADP.
So if you get your phone SIM unlocked you should be well underway. What I can not tell you is whether flashing new SPL and i.e. the Ion firmware (G2 ADP) onto the device would also take care of the SIM lock and save you some €, but I suppose you have nothing to lose by trying. But perhaps you should consult http://www.xda-developers.com/ /Casper On 19 Aug., 12:30, Rafa Perfeito <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Casper, > But my doubt is what the 'lock' means.
