Hello. l am not exactly new to these forums but this is my first post. l have read here for a long time and due to the diligence of you all l have been able to root both my son's phone and my own. (my old phone). And l thank you all for that. l am not a developer or even a 'code head', ln fact l am a log home builder from Montana whom after reading here has learned the value of gaining 'root' on my phones, and how exactly to do it.
Again, thank you all for your tenacity.
Now, l have an XT-1080 that l would like to gain root on. l have been reading here for months and recently tried purchasing the 'unlock code' from the Chinese guy. (TAOBAO). l tried three times with the same results. He is, "out of stock". So after more searching l discovered that Motorola will give you the unlock code at the Motorola website. (l am not allowed to post a link). l have not tried their method, (Motorola), and was wondering why this method has never come up here on these forums? Or maybe it has but l just never caught it? ls there something the matter with going to Motorola directly for an unlock code? What am l missing? Why do we have to bother with Chinese guys? l know l must be missing something here. l know there must be a reason we are all not just going to Motorola for our codes. What's the reason?
Again, before l would ever try something like this on my own, l would have to ask the experts. YOU.
Your feedback here would be most appreciated. l am anxious to gain root on my XT-1080 and after trying the Chinese guy three times l just don't know where else to turn. (other than purchasing a DEV model).
Thanks again,
MTMadman...
Hi,
Motorola will give unlock codes for most their devices... It is actually a well known fact. But verizon, AT&T and Republic wireless don't allow their devices to be unlocked. That is why their are alternate ways, all costing money.
And how ever you do it, your warranty is void . Except the Dev editions.

Thanks KJ. Yes l do have other questions. First of all, how would Verizon know if l had my phone unlocked through Motorola or another source? What's the difference? (l will also take this question to the link you provided.).
Thanks again...

Hello Friends,
I am trying to unlock my LG g slate V909, already got the network unlock code. I tried my best to find unlocking instructions. Everywhere it says same thing even LG website too. Insert non accepted sim card and it will ask you for Unlocking code. But for some reason its not asking for any code. I remember for galaxy tab i punched some numbers from calculator to get a phone pad but i don't know if there is any option available for this slate. Could anybody please help me in this.
Thanks

I havent been able to come across any helpful info on unlocking my new used lg v909 g slate tablet. Anyone with anyhing helpful hit me back. Thanks
I've been looking if Z1 has bootloader locked or not but searches are turning up blank, so I thought I would ask here.
Other question is will unlocked (carrier) Z1 support T-Mobile USA LTE? Going through http://www.gsmarc.com/sony/xperia-z1/reviews/ and http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-5627 seems that Z1 won't have any problem supporting any LTE currently available, even then I want to confirm before I place pre-order for unlocked device
Thanks
Bump.
Does nobody know or is it too obvious and I still missed it? Or the information is not yet available?

Dear All.
I bought my HTC one used phone from Dubai last week and got back to Jordan. The phone is locked with pin, and nothing changes with or without sim card. The phone is originally from Us with Verizon brand. I tried to use HTC chat service and they tried to help resitting the device to factory settings and even I still get the same situation. Any body can advise me what to do in order to get my device unlocked. Thank you.
Hi,
Sounds like a used phone to me, where someone has set a pin lock screen. If so, usually the phone needs to be completely wiped and stock firmware flashed to it.
But for other opinions , please ask in your device section, here....

I'm not familiar with that exact phone, but perhaps you are talking about SIM unlock pin? If so, you need to likely purchase one on a cell unlock site on the internet, since Verizon won't do it if you're not a customer.
Here is a thread on SIM unlocking,

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum and went through a few threads on rooting Xperia Z2 devices, but didn't see my model ie D6502 listed as a supported device. I really need to make sure that I don't screw it up, hence I would appreciate if someone could help me out a little here?
Thanks in advance and regards.
Hello @DePacifier,
Here is a thread specifically for your device model. I'm pretty sure you won't screw up as long as you do the necessary reading.

First post here, I apologize if this is the wrong place or if it's been covered before - I personally have not been able to find the answer;
Hey everyone I know this is a fairly old phone (the galaxy s6) however it's running Android 7.0 or Nougat. I have been searching XDA, but other than that I've just been finding really sketchy blogs that only half cover how to root/unlock the device. I was wondering if anyone could direct me in the correct path?
My main concern is - since the Phone is MetroPCS... will I have to unlock it before I can root it?
***Side Note:*** I could spend $20 on a code but would prefer not to as I've never had to do that.
Can I root it before I unlock it?
I ask because I found something on gsmhosting called "SM-G920T1 7.0 unlock done by great Octopus"
Which showed that the device had been rooted prior to unlock.
It's been a while since I rooted a phone so if anyone can supply a step-by-step for this exact model, I would greatly appreciate it.
