I'm a little lost here.
Phone specs
Android 2.3.6
SGH-T769
I want to root/unlock the phone.
I followed this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
Then I pop out the T-Mobile SIM card and insert the StraightTalk SIM card -
However, when I follow this procedure, I still get the 'Enter Network Unlock Code' :cyclops:
What am I doing wrong? The reason I ask - I have another phone of the same spec, but I updated the Android OS to v 4.0.4 and it worked like a charm.
Silly question - but is the above procedure ONLY for Android v4.0.4? Can anyone shed some light for me? I'm clueless. I don't wanna screw up my wife's phone. :crying:

You need to contact T-Mobile for the unlock code and you posted in the wrong place. It should be in Q&A.

Hey - so, here is what I've done. I've brought this thing back to the T-Mobile stock image.
I'll admit - I'm a little lost.
Questions:
1. Do I need to upgrade the firmware to root/unlock this device?
2. if no, can someone perhaps point me to a thread as the only one I can seem to locate is the unlock for v4.0.4
3. if yes, I seem to have changed something and Kies will not let me update it.
4. also, if yes, I am wondering if I can update it using Odin.
Thanks for your help!

Rooting and unlocking are two different things. Rooting is more like freedom to what you do on your phone, like mod and tweak it. Unlocking on the other hand is to use on any carrier you wish to use it on. To unlock there is a guide somewhere in this forum (which you should be able to find).

Hey! Thanks much for all of your suggestions. However, I need to tell you that I was the one that phoqued it up!
It was my wife's phone - SGH-T769.
Like I had said in a previous post, I was getting a 'network unlock code' - sigh.
I followed the exact procedure - to the letter - double, and triple checked my work . Still getting a 'enter network unlock code'
She came home Sunday afternoon, I was still fiddling around with it. She looked at me and said ".....do you think maybe it's a bad SIM card..? I'm not technical, but you've tried it on two phones of the same make/model..."
I looked at her like "...holy ****e..." - I looked closely at what I was doing. Guess what?
When you purchase the Straight Talk kit, there are 4 SIM cards in there - two micro/nano SIMs and two standard sized ones. The one that worked for my SGH-T769 was the orange SIM card - I was trying to use the gray one with hers.
This, my fellow Nerds, is what is known as an Epic Failure on my part - one for the Wall Of Shame for me. My wife has a degree in Criminal Justice and I have a degree in Comp Sci and Mech Eng. I guess skoolin' can mean absolutely nothing sometimes!:cyclops:
Problem solved - thanks to my wife - I think I'm gonna keep her around. Girls don't have the killer instinct and perverted mind that us guys do, so their brains can function a little more clear than ours can. :angel:
The frustrating thing - she is right 9.5 times out of 10. I just have to accept in lots of aspects that she is smarter than I am.
Thanks Bugs - Love ya!:highfive:

Yesterday, i just got Att Fuze without contract but that need to be filled the code. My friend said that i can buy the code on somewhere but after hard reset that code will be lost and need to fill another code again. Another way that is using unlockcid and hardspl but after that he dont know exactly what will happen and just know Fuze can up another rom. So after i unlockcid and hardspl, the first rom att built in will not change ?

Just read the sticky in the rom development section, the one about UNLOCKER. You will need to pay for it. But it is worth it.
So, can you use the Unlocker multiple times, if you need it after a hard re-set? Or, do you need to purchase another? Thanks!
(Edit: I think I know the answer from reading the Unlocker thread, but I don't understand all the techno-stuff and get nervous.)
Why don't you just read the sticky thread regarding the unlocker.
I have read the thread, but like I said, I don't understand all of the techno-stuff and am not interested in flashing new ROMs. Most of the questions and answers go beyond what I want to know (Q. Do I need to SIM unlock everytime I hard re-set the device? Answer: I don't think so.).

How does that relate to the CID unlocker? To flash roms and radios you need to hard-spl your phone. CID unlock is a security unlock. SIM Unlock can be provided by the provider. and flashing roms/radios is possible by flashing hard-spl.

Yes after the 6 entry need to make sure copy per letter caps and number thanks
I bought a new Photon Q two weeks ago and it came with software version 14. It let me unlock the bootloader through Motorola's page but it did take a couple of tries to make sure I entered the key correctly because there were long chains of 0's for some god awful reason. Once I did, everything went smoothly. Here's the guide I used:
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/08/20/how-to-unlock-the-motorola-photon-q-bootloader/
Might just have to keep trying. I haven't read anything online about them no longer providing unlocking.
Make sure that it is spelled correctly because that's what happened to me. Like I missed a zero if I tried typing the whole thing manually. Then I discovered I can copy from CMD (didn't know that before). Even then I had to get rid of the spaces it left.
So yeah, just make sure and proofread.
Not all bootloaders can be unlocked
Hey, I wanted to point out that not all bootloaders can be unlocked. The Photon Q on C Spire cannot be. Only the Sprint ones. I know this from trying the step by step directions that brandontowey provided a link to as well as contacting Motorola support. They confirmed that only Sprint Photon Q's are eligible for the bootloader unlock. So, my question is, does anyone know of another way to root the Photon Q? Thanks in advance.

people who rooted without unlocking were using Motofail2go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940594.
but Motorola patched this in the last update to ASA 14(Sprint verion anyway), so depending on what software verssion you're on, i don't know if you can root or not!

Thanks Skrilax_CZ and yogi2010 for your replies. I will keep searching the forums. I am sure there is a solution buried somewhere here in the forums. Having a phone with a small regional carrier makes it a tad bit more difficult to find what you're looking for. But I have never been let down when I search here on xda. Thanks again guys. If I happen to find the answer I will come back here and let everyone know.

thx....i will test it tomorrow.
this photon has another problems like imei: 0 and meid:000000 ....but it can connect to gsm network without problem
......WAU IT WORKSSSSS
id like to say iI solved both issues from the previous thread, battery had a small tear in the ribbon causing intermittent connection issues so here's the questions
1. I plan on doing the sim card mod to this unit and was wondering how the mod functioned in the states and what software/boot loader unlocking and or carrier unlocking can be done to accomplish this?
2. I attempted to unlock the boot loader last night and the Motorola website claims the unit is not unlockable the phone is from sprint and it is a photon q late, anyone else have unlocking issues?
3. I am no stranger to hardware modding, but am a ccomparative noob when it comes to boot loader unlocker and or carrier unlocking so advice in this area would be helpful as well, are they different or the same thing?

This is the only thing I can legitimately comment on. I just unlocked my replacement Photon and it took about 7 times of entering the adb id code into the Motorola site to actually get it right. :
- The fact that there are around 22 0's in a row doesn't help, double check your entry a few
- omit anything that isn't a single letter, number, etc (can't remember if they use symbols). The [info] or I think [bootloader] before each line, any spaces, etc.
- save your id and the email with your unlock code. Not sure if you'll need it but you never know

you must have root , unknow surces checked on and phone in debuging mode after you press run.bat from unziped file

ok so i was able to acheive root, Fixed the bump shutoffs and fixed the fastboot dropping out issues, and actually managed to unlock the bootloader but now im planning on doing the Cornholio's sim card mod and want to know what software should be flashed b4 i mod the sim slot to flush out the old sprint garabage, also i noticed Cornholio mentioned that the "NV" needed editing to make the unit useable on GSM in the USA networks soo any further info would be very helpful
ok so i messed something up, got cmrcovery installed, an attempted to flash a custom rom, and well, it didnt work, it aborted half way though the installation and left me kinda cold, I can boot into CWM recovery but thats about it soo since this is my first attempt at all this I could use alil direction on how to correct this lil fubar anyone got any Advice?
Edit So phones now fixxed and booting again, Have Cwm version 6013 got the Stable version of cwm and the rom installed correctly and booted So heres the Question Of the Day, how Do i Edit the NV to get this sucker Usable On USA GSM NEtworks?
Same question! i have the hard mod and software mod done but it need to NV edit so that i can have it work on gsm networks with at&t.

You created a thread specifically for this question, which I answered. Why are you posting the same question in other threads?
the answere you gave me was for a different phone, after looking around alot of people were saying it would not work on photon and would brick the phone, I wanted to look around and get other people's advice. Thank you for the answer, if i cant find any other option i will try that method regurdless of risk.

If someone says that NV item 8322 edit does not work to enable US GSM network usage on Photon 4G (MB855 - NVIDIA Tegra 2 based device), then he's right.
But in the case of Photon Q 4G LTE (XT897 - Qualcomm MSM8960 based device), which is relevant in this forum, the NV item 8322 edit indeed works.
It has been already confirmed by numerous posts in here.
All Motorola MSM8960 devices introduced in 2012 are very similar and the NV item 8322 edit is proved to be the way to unlock the access to US GSM networks on all US carrier specific moto_msm8960 models. Photon Q is no exception in this regard.
You also need to use fsg.mbn from Atrix HD, older 4.1.1. Otherwise it will not work. Then in QPST you have to disable automated switch to CDMA. Tested personally & working.
Hello everyone
Here's my problem and my idea:
I bought T-Mobile Galaxy S7 on ebay about a week ago (Stock QC1 firmware) and now I'm in need of sim unlock, which I can't, my device's unlock fails every time through Device Unlock app
I've searched through the web past two days and found no solution whatsoever. Every service is down for now and I cannot find any ways to unlock my phone.
So, here's what I thought: Maybe here's someone who can actually develop or figure out a solution for this since many solutions are available for S6/S6e and many other t mobile phones, but not for S7.
I can be tester and provide any files/dumps if needed or anything you guys ask.
I believe I'm not the only one with this problem and if we try hard enough, we can do this. Many people can benefit from this also, so let's be useful.
To mods, if you believe this is a wrong place to post this thread, please move it where it belongs.
Thanks to you all.
So your idea is just to look at other device solutions? [emoji1]

We probably wont see a direct unlock solution on these T-Mobile/MetroPCS QUALCOMM based Galaxys for some time. The older models you mentioned are Exynos based CPUs, they are being unlocked all the time. Unlock app or trusted server for imei unlock is our only solutions for now.

Factory reset your phone, then try to use the device unlock. You can select temporary unlock or permanent unlock. Once you are done you will have a sim unlocked device.

Actually, MetroPCS s7 & s7e device unlock is available for $20 and Qualcomm S6 and below is also unlockable, there are many remote unlock services on ebay/various websites for those devices.
I've been* trying to unlock my S7 since April but no luck.
I know this issues with t-mobile Quallcomm Galaxys are about locked bootloader but that's the only thing I found out.
If someone can make bounty pool or something similar, I would gladly participate.

Yup. I'm on android 7.0. I could go back to 6.0.1 too. Why do you think this is a method to unlock? You need to connect to Tmobile database to unlock. Merely factory reset won't do anything. It's all in the cloud

I know, however when I had issues with the device unlock app a fresh install of the latest version worked and I was able to temporarily unlock for a month.
I did it just now after a factory reset, rooted and running no BS Rom...
T-mobile
I went through the same ordeal. I had to actually call t-mobile and get a representative to unlock it using the phone's IMEI number so it could be used on all carriers. Call them, I'm sure they will unlock it for you. That t-mobile unlock app doesn't do anything. Also under developer options, you need to check OEM unlock before you call t-mobile.

Called them maybe 10 times, even used their facebook page. Every single customer representative said phone is fully paid and nothing is blocking it but they can't help me because I'm not actual / original phone owner on their database, and person I purchased this phone from has no idea what unlock is, he's impossible to deal with. Maybe you have any tips for me?

none so far

Hi! im having the same problem, i cant unlock my s7 tmobile with device unlock app, every place i try say it that the service is down.

For now, no way to unlock..
Hello there guys.
I have a tmobile one plus 7 pro.
I flashed my phone with this guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/how-to-convert-tmobile-op7-to-t3935947/
Everything works fine, no more tmobile logo when I boot... But the OEM unlock option is still grayed out.
Also, when I hold the volume UP, Down + insert USB cable, the phone connects to the MSM tool for 3 seconds, and disconnects right away. The phone is no longer staying in that mode.
I want to unlock this thing. :'(
Are you sim unlocked? Your sim has to be unlocked for the oem unlock to stop being greyed out.

Follow the guide in this post to revert back to T Mobile:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...obile-one-plus-7-pro-msm-tool-revert-t3936528
I used this guide to get my T Mobile OP7Pro unlocked:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-unlock-sim-t-mobile-users-heres-how-t3935327
So there is the possibility of rooting without sim unlocking on tmobile if it's still possible. You have to find the q 3 beta use place the file in you sdcard directory update toggle the oem unlock. Find the a copy of the current firmware "update" them follow one of the many tutorial for unlocking your bootloader. I was able to do this but it was 2 months ago the might have since patched this method

I also suggest you do some research before just asking questions. I took me two weeks to find that when I was looking.
