I restored with the US 4.4.2 on my Moto G. Its the US GSM Unlocked version. I have my SIM card in and everything and it still cont connect to AT&T network. I have tried other SIM cards and still not working.
Maybe it's locked for this provider.Or still locked ?
Nevermind I got it. Simple noob mistake. Restored with the wrong files.
Thanks anyways

Ok.You're welcome.
My friend accidently bought HTC one M8 verizon from UAE, the phone is new with kitkat 4.4.2, everything is fine but when he tried to update the rom, it failed and says that software update only works in CDMA mode, this is what i actually dont understand, is this locked or unlocked mobile? and is there any possibility to unlock this phone like normal unlocked M8?
To actually update the software via ota you will have to be on Verizon's network. It comes globally unlocked meaning that it is capable of being used on other networks and such, but the problem you are running into is the fact that you are not on Verizon's network so you cannot update their software. If you are s-off there are stickies that contain the firmware and updated bootloaders that you can flash so that your software is all up to date. If you are still s-on and want to update I believe there is a 4.4.4 RUU that works for s-on in that same thread. If you are wanting to s-off it will prolly be easier to use sunshine on 4.4.2 since it works without problems, where on 4.4.4 you can get s-off with sunshine, however there are some users who are still not able to get it yet.

All you need is a verizon sim card. Install it, get the update and after it finishes, replace it with your carrier sim card again.

Well I don't think the op is going to get that OTA in the UAE or his home country of Pakistan... Let alone find a provisioned Verizon sim

You could be right.
My point is that I used a verizon sim card (deactivated) to download two updates via wifi. The phone probably wants to verify that somehow the phone is in verizon's network and checks the sim card only. My m8 also was 4.4.2, after two updates now is 4.4.4.

i think he did, or i do not know how to navigate his site. can anyone double check?
Did you see this part at the end of the instructions?
"UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS
If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically "OEM unlock" and wipe your data !"
I reckon if you're on stock NRD90M.G920VVRS4DQD1 your bootloader is locked.
isn't it possible to downgrade and upgrade Verizon roms for the G6 as long as we remain anove 5.1.1?
by the way, there are two Nougat roms available for the G6 over at samsung-updates, one ends in ...DQD1 and the otherone ends i ...DQE1.
There is a root from Vhai fire for the ...DQD1, not for the other one, but... because both roms are Verizon's and meant for the same device, flashing either one shouldn't brick the device, because both have Verizon's digital signature.
is that how it works?
***
honestly i just want to root the phone, im fine with the stock firmware.
nevermind, you are totally right. however, the fact that chainfire released a root for the ...DQD1 tells me he had to have unlocked the bootloader first, which now brings us to the question... how did he unlock the bootloader?
You could downgrade to the OK7 firmware and root that. The string attached is that you will need to run MrMike2182's rootatboot script every time you want to boot the phone.
so has anyone tried this? does it work?
I know it trips KNOX but i don't really care. i just dont want a brick.

This makes me so sad. What phone should I get next that is root-friendly, i.e. I can keep the software/firmware up to date and still keep my root.

Thanks for the reply.
Is US Cellular root-friendly? I've been waiting for the Pixel 2 to be released, but I want to make sure I can root it and still keep it up to date.
Also, I am still interested in the temporary root on the S6 if it means I can update to Nougat. Looking into MrMike2182's rootatboot now. Thanks!

S6 root only runs under android 5.1.1 also you need a vm to flash the kernel to the phone. Us cellular is root-friendly. Only at&t and verizon and sprint and T-Mobile lock their bootloaders.

Chainfire just runs an automated script which generates a CF-Auto-Root file for ANY model, whether the bootloader is locked or not.
So the answer is, he didn't unlock it, but simply generated a file regardless, and it's up to the user to figure out the their bootloader status.

Same as Verizon, it's locked down tightly.
Your best bet would be a Sprint version, which has an unlocked bootloader and can be unlocked for both GSM (ATT /TMO) and LTE (VZW) with the proper equipment (unlocking boxes). Or the Tmobile version also has an unlocked bootloader which can be unlocked using online unlocking services but it will only work with GSM cards (ATT/TMO, no VZW!). Both can be rooted via CF-Auto-Root and/or through custom recovery.

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.

I am not sure, how do I find out?
The only thing I did was I flashed my phone with the link I provided, and it did take effect because no more tmobile logo.
How do I sim unlock? do I depend on tmobile or is there something I can patch?
Thanks so much man

You have to either call t-mobile and have them unlock it, or there have been people on the forum who have been unlocking. You also will need to flash back to t-mobile fw

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
www.xda-developers.com/t-mobile-oneplus-7-pro-root-tutorial/amp
I also suggest you do some research before just asking questions. I took me two weeks to find that when I was looking.

I tried the installation, but didn't fix my problem. Nothing seem to change, i didn't even loose any data.
So i decided to retry, but this time i added the userdate file from the downloaded fireware, which made me loose all my data and didn't fix the problem.

Some phones don't ask for it. The unlocking company usually gives you a code to dial in dialer to submit the code.
Just wandering, is it possible for me to move from SM-A716U to SM-A716U1 (Factory Unlocked)?
