Like I told the other guys, when you start to build a new thread there are suggestions for existing threads. Meaning, you didn't search, you didn't read the suggestions, you didn't so much as look on the forum period.
If the device is rooted why are there no custom roms for the verizon s3? What am I missing, does it have to be unlocked also?

Very few people have this phone right now. The date for in store sales keeps getting pushed back, and even a lot of pre order dates are getting pushed back. Wait till the phone is more widely available so devs can get their hands on it.

Is the phone released officially? Nope. Do most dev's even have it yet? Nope. Do dev's build ROM's overnight with a phone they don't have access to? Nope. Chill out!

Doesn't matter what you "heard" it isn't Verizon that provides the coverage, Asurion does, unless you have it from another source. Verizon has no say in Asurion protecting hardware malfunctions. Verizon may not WARRANTY the device though.

Exactly- why bother paying $ extra / month..... you can just tether
The 16GB N8000 is $632 all-in including overnight delivery from Handtech in the UK. The VZW Note is $599 plus tax making it about the same price. The N8000 is literally a phone so you can use it as a spare or when you're making video calls or on long conference calls. VZW will kill the phone and MMS feature in their version. You'll receive updates from Samsung or can use Odin to install the latest on the N8000. You're at VZW's mercy for their version. You can use the N8000 on one of the AT&T MVNO's on a cheap voice/data plan, use AT&T's DataConnect plan and pay-as-you-go ($30 = 3GB), or add it to an AT&T FamilyShare account for $10 a month. VZW is $40 a month for 4GB or $10 if you add it to an existing shared account. With VZW you'll get LTE with the N8000 you'll get HSPA+ on AT&T. You'll also have to live with the giant VZW tramp stamp on their version which is the largest gaudiest logo placement ever seen on a mobile device.
Happy deciding.

Hilarious. I will be getting one as I have a line open doing nothing. You of course are correct about Verizon and their tactics, but since I am locked in for another year, I will have a note 10.1 for that time. Besides, we'll get it rooted and change everything anyway.

Hey, folks who picked one up already - would you be able to do me a favour please?
If you have a T-Mobile or AT&T (or even international) SIM card, would you be able to put that into the VZW Note 10.1 to see if the tablet is SIM-unlocked out of the box? I know Verizon does this with some LTE devices (like the iPhone 5) lately.
Thanks very much!

I picked mine up last week. Being from Canada, I put my Telus SIM in it and it seems to be working. However, I get an annoying notification message saying "Non-Verizon SIM" that won't go away.
I've recently ordered an Unlocked Pixel 2 from the Google store, but under Developer Options, "OEM unlocking" is greyed out and i can't change it. Did Google run out of Google versions and sold me an Unlocked Verizon phone?
CID Checker shows:
[ro.boot.cid] : 00000000
[ro.bootloader] : mw8998-002.0059.00
I just checked and mine is showing the same thing. Ordered direct from Google, although I'm using it with Verizon, would that make a difference?

I just called Google support an they will get back to me in about 45 minutes, and said if they cannot solve it I'll have a replacement shipped to me. Seems to be the only solution for us at this time as others have had the same issue.
I also gave Google support a call and told them about my issue. They told me they had someone call just before me about the same issue. :laugh: Anyway, they had me send them a debug report and said they'll get back to me later.
Same here. I opened ticket with Google support last night. Waiting for a response.
Sounds like possibly the VZW Sim is converting into VZW pixel with locked BL
My wife's Pixel 2 is on Verizon and I had no issues enabling OEM unlocking on it
i went to the verizon store to play with their pixels (wait, that did not sound right). anyhow, i tried to enable developer options, and could not on neither the regular nor the XL. I could enable the secret System Tuner UI. I tried tapping several thousand times on the build number, but nothing.
also, I did notice the screen burn in for the XL, but no burn in for the regular.
just some food for thought....

Hopefully Google can clear this up for those with the issue.
There is an official bug report opened on this, please STAR this bug and add your comments.
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/68897739
I got my replacement and I was able to unlock it. Good luck to everyone else who expects a fix this century. It'd kinda sad that nobody picked up this story. I sent it to XDA, Android Police, and Droid Life. Zero coverage.
Don't hold your breath on a fix. I really feel bad for the people who try to unlock their device a year or two from now or sell their device on Swappa and the sellers/buyers finds out it's not unlockable. OUCH.
I talked to Google support and they're sending me a replacement. They specifically asked me if i bought my phone from the Google store and if i chose the Unlocked version rather than the Verizon. Then i screen shared the issue with the person on the phone and they explained that Unlocked versions from the Google store are all suppose to have the "OEM unlocking" option unlocked. As such, they will be sending me a replacement with advanced shipping free of charge.
I called through the "Support & tips" tab in the phone 3 times. Got a call back with a rep helping me out pretty much instantly every time. I'm very satisfied with the customer service and support.
Mine was bought from Google store unlocked. I used my VZW Sim and first thing after setup was to open developer options and turn on OEM unlock. After updating to beta 8.1.0 it is still applied.

I believe Sprint merged with T-mobile and all branded phones will be T-mobile but to answer your question, yes you will be able to use tmobile and unlocked version on the sprint network.
I know they merged, but you can't use tmobile phones on a sprint account yet. Which is why i was asking.

On Best Buy it shows unlocked can be activated for ATT, Verizon, and Sprint.
I had a Sprint account but ordered the T-Mobile version thinking they were connected -- but they're not yet. After 22 years with Sprint, I decided to move to T-Mobile and now I have 5G service (don't think Sprint itself does yet until they merge the networks) and my Spring phone number transferred in about 10 minutes. I'm not looking back.

I spent an hour at the Sprint/tm store. They tried all 4 sim cards in the pack, called their tech support and still couldn't get it activated on Sprint.

Once when I called and gave them the IMEI number, he said he couldn't find it. Since it's so new -- and even released earlier than expected, he thought it wasn't in the database yet.
He told me he'd look into getting it added and would call me back the next day, but never did. Bye, Sprint.

In case anyone is still wondering. Yes. You will need the Sprint sim card ending in 416TQ. It does not however come in the Sprint 4-1 sim kit. Finally, got one from Best Buy after dealing with Sprint directly for a week.
Ordered online from Best Buy. Already had SIM in it. Had to chat with Sprint to get it activated, but works great.
I have a factory unlocked 6a that I'm wanting to buy, but guy thinks it may/may not have a lock put on from a carrier. Not sure if he means a financial lock or what. I'm needing it to be clean on both VZW and TMO, but honestly don't care if it has a lock on ATT (no signal here). I've ran dozen of the free imei ones, but since not of them tap into the gsma database, it's not real data. Anyone here able/willing to run a quick check for an old soul? I can pm the imei privately.
If you haven't already done so, you could try this for Verizon:
IMEI Information
Or this for TMO:
https://www.t-mobile.com/resources/bring-your-own-phone
Thanks I have already. Verizon seems to be only a basic band check, nothing deeper. T-Mobile does though appear to dive deeper with this message. Just trying to get clarification. Doesn't help that my OCD won't let this go ha

I'm assuming it's a financial lock. But I have no way to find out.
Well, if the guy isn't sure, that kind of sounds like you should buy from someone else.
Swappa has pretty good deals on this phone already.
Yeah maybe so. Trying to make a good deal work ha. So is it definitive that A12 Dec and newer patches have broken the temporary carrier unlock pixel 6 trick?
You can check the IMEI through Swappa's IMEI checker, it does check it against the GSMA registry.
Alternatively you can buy a 6a off of Swappa and not have to worry about it being network blocked etc.

Sadly Swappa doesn't give any details. In fact for a test, I used an imei from a phone that definitely does have a financial lock, and Swappa took it. It just seems any of the public searches are not a legit check.

Definitely shows details for me.
Also if you happened to check an IMEI from an AT&T finance locked phone, it will show as allowed because AT&T does not actually blacklist phones for installment plan nonpayment.

Gotcha. Any of the unlock carrier tricks work on a Spectrum phone I wonder? Not much data out there concerning.
I've come across a newer one that supposedly works on the Dec A13. The adb delete config doesn't work past the Dec patch from what I understand.
People have denied that this even is something that can be on this phone. I've search everywhere any advice, I reached out to my carrier, I've even just given it time. The checkin dialer code verifies on connected to Internet but still, my OEM unlock is grayed out and says connect to the Internet or contact your carrier. It's some bs. I've read this is what Verizon models will display and it's a lost cause but this was a brand new tmo pixel 7 pro and I triple checked the packaging it has the T-Mobile information inside the box and the seal states it tmo. I just wanna unlock my bootloader. I've ran out of ideas and looked everywhere, so I'm posting to get some advice please if you have anything lemme know.

And what did the carrier say?
Regardless of which carrier you have, you must fully pay off the device before you can have them normally allow for OEM unlocking if you did not purchase the "factory unlocked" version of the device. Of course, there are ways around that via contacting your carrier before fully paying off the device. But you mentioned that you had contacted them.
So, as @bobby janow said: what did the carrier say?
Contact tmo thru Twitter tech support until u get someone to unlock the BL.. Keep trying

The carrier had no clue what it was and they weren't sure what to do I spoke with several people and nothing. ive gotten many devices unlocked by pestering the Twitter folk till they unlock it and here is the kicker I've had 2 tmo people try to unlock it now it didn't let them and even paid a company to try and it says it is blocked for potential motherboard replacement. But its a brand new phone. I have the op 10 pro still on contract rooted unlocked obv and twrp on it as of a few days ago. Just this phone is being weird
You cannot unlock without a full sim unlock. Not a temporary one.
@tmobilehelp on Twitter can help you.

Is the prompt asking for and internet connection or contacting the carrier normal?

Dude, never, ever, ever buy a phone from a carrier if you plan to unlock/root your phone.

Yo the TMobile people lied to me and screwed sending me 3 broken OnePlus 10 pros one after the other through insurance and then I got drunk and spent 8 hours *****ing and they gave me a brand new 10 pro and a new pixel 7 pro completely free of charge

Can I really complain that much!?!?!
Btw I have discovered a lot of Verizon deep links and bs in activity launcher does anyone know what numbers of the IMEI determine the carrier for verizon
I just got my Pixel 7 PRO yestersday. In the same day I had it unlocked and a custom ROM put on it. Although I was honest and told them I needed it unlocked for development reasons. Plus I've had 3 phones through them that were sim unlocked before being paid off. I guess part of it might be a trust thing.
I'll just get a new pixel it's just a dumb fault I guess yes I know it has to be paid to do the permanent unlock except through Twitter it's a strange issue that I have

The best thing you can do is take it slow and easy and keep trying different people. You can always try hitting them up on Twitter

They can do it. They're just choosing not to. The same day I got my pixel 7 pro I had it unlocked. So I know they can do it

@avid_droid went through the exact same thing (t-mobile, not first time unlocking, talking through twitter, reaching reps who don' t know anything, etc.)...
I'll link his thread speaking on it below...maybe you can commiserate together
TMobile shenanigans
So as of late, TMobile doesn't unlock devices now unless you meet their requirements. The 40 day connected and paid off rule. Impressed they are tight on this now. I recently had a OnePlus 9 pro that was paid off and bought elsewhere and they...
