Hi,

Sorry newbee from HP area asking silly questions. I intended to buy a UFS-3 latest version claimed that can flash new BB5 Nokia phone for certain model like 6630, 6680, N70 and etc. After flashing it should be sim-free and accept any other sim card right?

Can any expert help me?

Flashing the phone with a new (or old) firmware does not have any effect on the SIM lock. To get the SIM lock removed, ask the operator who locked it in the first place to generate an unlocking code.
