I have the VZW version, thus needed to unlock the bootloader with depixel8. I know that depixel8 will not work on 7.1.1 if currently locked. However, I would have you check to see if the Google version allows unlocking. I'm thinking the Google version is unlockable without the need to use depixel8...but please search around and check.

The EE model works the same as the Verizon model. You can not unlock the bootloader once it is on 7.1.1

Yes but since the EE model is not a Google one that means that I can't unlock it and I can't downgrade

Ok ok thank you for the fast reply, so it's more clever to not buy it
Is this problem just related to EE/Verizon phones? Will other mobile operators like O2 allow booltoader unlock, even on 7.1.1?
Sorry to somewhat hijack this thread but, my Pixel was sent from EE, however the cid is 11111111. Doesn't this mean it's not a "carrier phone" and that its bootloader can be unlocked?
p.s Does this mean a percentage of pixels sent out by EE are essentially carrier-free phones?
Edit: Never mind "OEM unlocking" is greyed out in Developer Options.
for 7.1.1 on ee inferno box/dongle thing seems to work, so its not impossible, just you currently need someone with the hw until a software fix comes out. that may or may not happen. i'm currently trying to find a way as my phone is EE and I have an old sim from '3' i still pay for which has unlimited data.... you can see why i want to unlock....(and its is unlimited, when i had no internet at home for a month i smashed 163gb over the sim....)

Hi,
I need to carrier unlock a Verizon Samsung S8+.
I was told by one of these unlock code service sites that the Verizon S8+ cant be "code" unlocked. Can it be jailbreak unlocked?
is that possible?
Thanks in advance
its already unlocked, verizon is the only carrier that unlocked their s8+ at point of sale, just flash the 955u1 firmware and youll be good.

Hi sorry to bother again, the Prince Cosmi Odin link is dead - if I omit the flashing step, is the phone still unlocked?
I'm looking to sell it on eBay as unlocked. As long as the buyer has no problems, that's all im concerned about.
Many many thanks
edit: sorry, I misunderstood, Im downloading the official firmware to flash. Thanks

I saw an article describing how to unlock the bootloader for the LG V50 ThinQ, but was curious if this was for all carriers?
TIA

My V50 arrives tomorrow (Unlocked Korean version) I can't tell you about the USA Sprint version but I doubt you can unlock the bootloader without an exploit. We'll see.
Looks like LG is only allowing bootloader unlock for the LG V50 LMV500EM for the European market. Very disappointing.

They almost always allow the European version to be officially unlockable. That doesn't necessarily mean that it will be the only version to be unlocked. We just have to wait for someone to find an exploit, either by the different .kdz's that are available online or through LAF/LGUP. For Now I'm just not gonna update just in case the phone has a anti-rollback feature.

Exploit?? Like the one they found for the V40? They used to always allow bootloader unlock for the US unlocked variant, but stopped after the V20. If you have T-Mobile or AT&T your gold with the European variant. Those of us on Verizon or Sprint are pretty much out of luck.
Cheers
its for EU variant only. really disappointed with LG, why can't they just allow the other variants to be BL unlockable.
LG devs are already leaving because of this implementation. :crying:
Searched around and couldn't find any answer to this question. Is the Pixel 4a bought at best buy rootable? Thanks.
I bought mine from Telus and I straight up asked the guy if they lock down the bootloader, he said no and I can confirm that to be the case. OEM unlocking is available in settings after enabling developer, though I haven't actually done it yet.
I don't think any Canadian carrier locks the bootloader

Unlocked version doesn't mean bootloader unlockable, it means sim card unlocked.
Pixel 2 "unlocked" version from Best Buy was not bootloader unlockable.
To anyone who's looking for this information, I can confirm the Best Buy variant of the Pixel 4a is bootloader unlockable.

I already stated that in my previous post that it was boot loader unlocked if you buy the unlocked version from Best Buy.
Thanks for your forum service and confirming again ???
I'm in USA and on Verizon. No matter how much digging on the forums I'm not sure I can ever be sure which exact version of the 8t would be the carrier unlocked international version with available bootloader unlock and root available. Hoping someone could provide with that info, thanks!
If you buy it directly from OP you should be good to go. Just make sure it's not been purchased through T-Mobile and hardware model KB2007.
KB2005

Why TMobile? Is there not an equilvalent, for example to my V30 that was a non-carrier branded unlocked international model? And Sykojoe mentioned the KB2005, which one is that? I'll admit I haven't even looked up yet.

I'm saying if you are NOT a T-Mobile customer, don't buy a phone that is locked to the T-Mobile network. You need to get them to SIM unlock it then you need to get a bootloader unlock token from OnePlus before you'll be able to flash any other ROMs.
KB2005 is the international version from OnePlus. That is the one you want to get. If the model number is KB2007 it's from T-Mobile.

you wouldn't have bootloader unlock and therefore no root, you posted this in the wrong section BTW.

currently one service can't unlock the newer firmwares and the other is on hiatus, maybe for the same reason.

I had to return my Canadian edition, locked bootloader.
I ended up having to buy the international model with OEM Unlock which Canadian does not.

Hello friends,
Recently I moved to Canada, I have the international model, G781B, I was wondering if it is possible to flash the canadian variant. Reason: 5G didnt work so far, tryied everything to make it work, even manually configuration of Bell network.
Comparing at the gsmarena.com, the hardware looks like the same.
I'm almost giving up and buying a new phone.

Most likely your carries uses mmwave 5g network, and international S20 FE 5g uses the other spectrums for 5g. There is no way a software flfash can change anyting, and I do not think that you can even flash software for thw wrong phone model, as odin check the BL version prior to flashing
