Hi all
I'm pretty new about unlocked phone.
Tried to search on google about this situation but didn't found any anwser.
I just bought an Moto Droid 2 global and it's unlock to be able to use in canada and if I root the phone will I loose the unlock feature of the phone or when the phone is unlock is permanent?
thanks
Paco
Phone unlock is permanent. You can root/SBF/do whatever you want - it will stay unlocked.
Hi everyone. I bought a T-Mobile's Z3 used by another guy. He shipped it from the U.S but i'm not there. The thing is: He bought a SIM unlock code but T-Mobile won't let me introduce it because they only let you unlock the phone through their app. The question: If I debrand the phone by flashing the global/international firmware would it let me introduce the code? . I hope you can help me.
I don't think you can just cross flash, at least that is my experience with other devices as well. Also no way to bypass the SIM lock as there is no boot-loader unlock or r oot for the TMO Z3.
As far as I know its an over the air unlock and there is no option to even enter a code... when the app did not work for me I called TMO and they unlocked it within an hour, as I am a current customer.

Oh well!. So the only hope is to wait for some root method. Thanks for your answer :good:

Root and bootloader unlock have no effect on sim unlock. They are completely different things
It depends by phone/carrier implementation I guess, for my Sprint LG G2 you could bypass the simblock using a method that requires root. In the HTC M8, boot loader unlock with Super CID could achieve SIM unlock as well.
You probably are correct with Z3 though.
Im in the same boat, bought a used z3 and tried to unlock using device unlock app on phone, Failed. I bought an unlock code but there is no menu to input unlock code. If we flash global generic firmware, will unlock code pop up?

Has anyone tried this and been successful? I attempted it this morning but got errors and flash aborted.
Edit
Guys keep trying the unlock app. I almost gave up and tried it one more time after a factory reset. Went through the setup menus. No Sim card, WiFi through my old Xperia z, turned on my location. Opened the unlock app and applied for permanent unlock and BOOM.... Unlocked.
Don't know if any of what I did made a difference but try it if you want.
Best of luck to you all.

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.

Assuming the boot loader is unlocked, the phone is rooted and a custom rom installed is there a way to network unlock the Z3 without a code purchased online ? Im thinking there might be something like this thread that uses an exploit or something to unlock the phone.
Alternatively, which is the fastest phone unlocking website ?
Hey guys is there is still no way to unlock this devices ?
unlock you mean sim yes pay a service or get a box is only way
I got rid of the network lock with the help of TMBKiller on ebay. It worked like a charm on one of my phones that reverted to a locked state after I unlocked its bootloader (bootloader unlocked fine, but network lock would up getting set).
Unlocking the bootloader is really easy for these. Installing TWRP and Root is a little more challenging, but also possible.
