No flashing the international version in no way unlocks your phone from Vodafone. It gets rid of the Vodafone software, but you won't be able to use a non Vodafone sim.

There are 2 known methods to unlock. 1. Buy a code from eBay or get the shop where you got the phone to unlock it, and 2. Use the risky method on the forum.

Unlocking the boot loader to install clockwork mod has no effect on the sim lock.

Think the confusion ls with apns. The stock vodafone from as no apns for other networks but the international rom probably as. So the phone was probably unlocked.

B926 is one of the early ICS releases found near China. It has faster upload speeds then most other ICS releases so is often used as a base to CWM flash other rom's.

Easiest way to get JB is update app via dload to any official ICS, then root, unlock the bootloader , install CWM or other recovery's then flash Dazzoz's CWM10 / 10.1.
