Apologies for not being able to find that answer.
I would like to know if its possible to unlock the xperia play that im about to buy from o2 so that i can use my t mobile sim card without having to pay for an unlock code?
Only those on phones not sim locked in the first place. If yours was sim free from the getgo it can be unlocked using the official se method.
if it wasnt, you can pay to get it sim unlocked and have the bootloader unlocked.
Sim unlocked devices don't have unlocked bootloaders. They are fastboot enabled. This will allow you to unlock the bootloader for free using the sony development website. Sim locked devices, do not have fastboot enabled. So even though they can get an unlock code, they have no way to get into fastboot to unlock bootloader
Hit me on the thanks button if you find it useful. ; )

How can I unlock my bootloader of my Moto G XT1028?
I tried going to Motorola's website and asking for an unlock code but they said that a bootloader unlock code was available. The closest I could find to finding the unlock code was that there is a this Chinese guy where if you send him your imei and $45, apparently he will send you the unlock code. However the issue is that I bought this phone for like $30 on ebay and $45 is more than the actual phone. Is there a way to unlock my bootloader of my phone for free or getting root without unlocking bootloader?
If there isn't a way then at least is there a way for me to move game obb files over to one of these devices (link below) without root?

I also found something about pie root but that didn't work for me
IIRC, after 6 months of service you can request boot unlock from Verizon.

I've paid twice to have it unlocked no one can do it it's blacklisted from att but I've had the phone for ever so idk pleaee help I'll even pay
I don't believe you can unlock the AT&T version to be used with other carriers since the bootloader cannot be unlocked and believe possibly same with the Verizon version. Only the Tmobile & Sprint permit unlocked bootloaders. I could also be wrong in terms of usability with other carriers even if the bootloaders are locked. For instance my current phone it's a Verizon prepaid Moto E4 that was unlocked for use on Tmobile despite the bootloader still locked.
If you only say "unlock", I'll understand it in 2 ways:
- unlock the bootloader
- unlock carrier
1. Unlock bootloader
You can easily unlock bootloader if you have T-mobile or Spriny one. It's harder for Verizon or ATT. Just google and ask team Sunshine if Z2F was supported.
2. Unlock carrier
I dont know much about this case
The bootloader can't be unlocked on Motorola's website, someone on Telegram unlocked the bootloader of his Moto G7 Power he bought at AT&T, he sim unlocked it then put a MetroPCS sim card int here and unlocked the bootloader. What I'm wondering is if I get my phone sim unlocked, will it change the CID number? Will it make the bootloader unlockable? Will it change the bootloader? I've tried flashing MetroPCS firmware and Retail firmware, both times it changed the BL:MBM number on fastboot, so did that change the bootloader? I appreciate any help in advance. Thank you.
Nothing you can readily do will change the bootloader unlockability.
Someone unlocked the bootloader on AT&T Moto G7 Power yesterday, he said all he did was sim unlock the phone then he put in a Metro PCS sim card and then he unlocked the bootloader. Obviously it changed the bootloader because before that he wasn't able to unlock the bootloader. I know that Cricket, AT&T, and Verizon all keep their bootloaders to where they can't be unlocked which should be illegal especially since I bought the phone outright and I own the phone.
I haven't seen the details.
How was it SIM unlocked?
Changing the SIM should not change the code that is submitted on the website.
The details are on the Telegram group, he sim unlocked it by calling AT&T.

So an official unlock route.
That may have updated the code or Motorola's database so it pases for bootloader unlock.
What are the unofficial lock routes? Because obviously it's possible to root this phone somehow.

One way is buy an unlocked phone instead of one SIM locked to a carrier. Those can be bootloader unlocked out of the box.
Or go through the carrier. Policies vary so you should ask them. It appears from above that AT&T unlocking allows bootloader unlocking. That may not be true for all carriers.
There are 3rd party ways to remove a SIM lock, but that provably wouldn't allow for bootloader unlocking.
So has anybody been able to unlock bootloader on Cricket Moto g7?
I know a guy who can help but it cost money

Metro's G7 power can be bootloader unlocked out of the box no matter sim locked or not.

Not always true. Carriers can gray out the allow bootloader unlocking option. I know Cricket did so on an E5 Supra (Plus) I have and I just got an Xfinity G7 Power & it's the same way. Even though it remains grayed out, the E5 allowed the bootloader unlock after I got the carrier code from Cricket, but then it's not on Motorola's site so it remains bootloader locked. The G7 Power was just the opposite- I paid to have it unlocked (cheaper than a month of service). I input the numbers from ADB there and got a bootloader unlock code from Motorola right away. When I tried to use it, it failed since the bootloader unlock option on the phone remains grayed out.
From what I've read here, the Metro G7 Power is the only carrier phone I've seen that is not bootloader locked by the carrier.
Hi, did the comcast phone have an unlock app on it? Who did you use for the unlock pllease?
I bought the supra today and sadly motorola website does not support it for unlock all other versions can be however I am hoping someone finds work around at least for root etc but totally want a bootloader unlock more than anything root and twrp without it I dont even really want the dang phone

Can you please share this service you paid for to unlock this phone?
hello gys i wana unlock that phone . this is blocked whith t-mobile usa. ples help me to unlock that phone . i tryed to unlock it with z3x box but it dosent suport. also with samkey... hellp me gys
There's no way around it. T mobile will have to unlock it through their service, it's a push update for a reason.
If you bootloader unlock with sampwn to try some sim unlock workaround, or official unlock through t mobile, it will relock your bootloader forever.
So handle that sim unlock through tmobile first.
