Hi guys! My phone build number is N2G47O, which I think indicates that it is not a Verizon phone. But I still have the OEM unlocking bottom greyed out and says that “Connect to the internet or contact your carrier”. I am sured that I have connected my phone to the internet. Anybody knows why？
(sorry for the title, it is oem. Due to the auto correction)

Hi there!
I just bought a SE Xperia x8. It was Locked to 3 uk.
I used a unlock online service to unlock it. Did everything right as it was in the unlocking manual. But in the end of the process the software Multi unlocking client frozed. The know the mobile doessn't recognize any sim card.
In the hiden menu the X on the network lock is not there anymore as it was unlocked.
And when I try to connect to a network the message I get is "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
I rooted it changed roms and the problem persists
Can anyone help me?
The Online unlocking service wants me to by more credits and try again....
Have the same problem... any fix for this?
I just opened my own thread for exactly the same thing last night - did either of you have any luck getting this fixed?
Oh God, I remember MultiUnlocker from my Palm Pre days. What a horrid piece of software it is.
I'd recommend contacting their support division and outlining your problem. I was able to gain the necessary three credits to unlock my phone (stupid bloody thing took that many goes).
It may prove problematic that your phone is kinda 'in limbo' ie. showing unlocked but not. You should be able to input a code from the emergency dialler giving you access to the engineering menu, which will allow you to re-lock your phone, then the code should work.
I'll subscribe to the thread in case you need further advice!
I cant figure out how to unlock my Huawei Mate 9 model MHA-AL00 Chinese phone. The ABD tools don't seem to work. There is no enable OEM unlock option in the developer options. I have the unlock code. Can anyone help me? I really want to root it.
I had the same problem....
I had the same problem with my MHA-AL00. It just wouldn't accept the code no matter what I did. I did a lot research and finally found the solution. Surprisingly simple once you know it. I mean....it literally only takes 2 secs to fix.
Unfortunately, I won't be telling you how to fix it, because of your stupid remark. Have a nice day.
Did you enable USB debugging in developer options? You might have to toggle it a few times until you get the approve dialog on your phone. Make sure USB is plugged in.
As far as I know you only need that for AL00, there is no OEM unlock toggle.
Crap, he is serious ???

I tried all that to no avail. However finally I found the solution... for some reason it cannot work if you have this "Find my phone" enabled. Once I disabled that and restarted my phone it worked. It is know to cause this problem.
@kubinski Please check your PM's
Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone could help me please...?
Android Recovery
samsung/dreamltexx/dreamlte
8.0.0/R16NW/G950FXXU4CRJ5
Also an Exynos not Snapdragon
I am in possession of my mums Samsung S8 SM-G950F, she has had to send it to me from Australia. Her ex husband activated a 6 digit pin code screen lock. We haven't a clue what this is and obviously he wont tell her what it is.
I spent a while on google and thought I may be able to sort it, I received the phone yesterday and I am still yet to crack it. She has photos on there that she would like to save.
I cannot get in to the phone to enable oem unlock or usb debugging so that leaves me very limited as to what I can do with the phone.
Has anyone got any ideas or know of a way I can get in to the phone to delete the pin lock or even flash stock firmware that may reset the settings so there is no lock activated? I even looked up how to use Rubberducky to create a script to put on a usb or sd card that will run and try all the number combinations to hack the pin code. But unfortunately I didn't find anything that would work.
Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated...
Cheers,
Lee
I bought an 8T directly from OnePlus so it's not locked to any carrier. I intend to install a custom ROM on first use. I'd like to know the following before I unbox it:
Are there any steps required before the OEM Unlocking toggle is not greyed-out and before the phone will respond to the unlock command via fastboot?
I'm pretty sure I read a post a while back where the user stated the unlock command wouldn't function until he put a SIM card in the phone, or connected the phone to the internet, or logged into his Google account, or some such thing.
Does anyone with experience unlocking a brand new phone have anything to add? I've been following the 8T forums since before Mauronofrio's TWRP to learn all the procedures, but I don't recall anyone else mentioning issues specific to never-used phones.
The unlock toggle was indeed greyed-out when I unboxed the phone. Connecting to the Internet and completing the Android Setup wizard did not alter the state of the unlock toggle.
Actually, to be clear, I set up the phone first without Internet, then a few days later connected to the internet, but doing so did not make the greyed-out OEM Unlocking toggle suddenly accessible.
So at this point I'm not sure what's the issue... Does the phone need to see a SIM before it will let me access OEM Unlocking? Or does is require a Google account login? Or something else?
I found a comment on a non-XDA forum about a different type of android phone where the user reported that he had solved the problem by connecting to the internet and going through a minimal Google setup.
I gave it a try, only in my case I connected by ethernet cable (USB-C to Ethernet adapter), so it doesn't have anything to do with installing a SIM or turning on WiFi.
Then while connected I did a factory reset to re-start the android setup wizard. This time it took a lot longer to initiate the setup program and there were a lot more steps and conditions to accept along the way. Plus, there were Google terms and conditions to accept that weren't there the first time, and files I had to agree to download. :-( I disconnected before much else and rebooted. This time the OEM Unlocking toggle was enabled.
Hi, I bought a refurbished Pixel 3. I tried to unlock bootloader by: starting the device, skipping all set-up, enabling developer options, trying to enable "OEM unlocking". But it is greyed out with message "Connect to the Internet or contact your operator".
Then I tried to connect to wifi, still same message. Then I inserted a SIM card, still same message. I also rebooted a couple times, still nothing. Doing "adb reboot bootloader" shows that the bootloader is locked.
So what does this mean? I looked up online that some phones are from Verizon so they will not be able to be unlocked. Is this the case? How can I check this? If the bootloader is not unlockable I'm just going to return it x) which will be a pain in the a** since I'll have to pay return shipping and everything.
Thanks for any help!!

The IMEI will tell you if it is a Verizon phone. I believe Verizon IMEIs begin with 35. Google "IMEI lookup" and you'll find plenty of sites that will give you information on that phone.

Thanks, I tried that, it is indeed a Verizon model. Do you know if there is any way around this to unlock the bootloader? I guess I'll have to google around a bit to figure out if it's hopeless or not x)
There is no way to unlock a Verizon phone.
Hmm well I'm getting quite mixed signals here:
- imei.info says "Pixel 3 128GB, US VZ, Just Black"
however:
- ro.oem_unlock_supported is 1
- and bootloader screen says "Product revision: MP1.0(ROW)", not "(VZW)"
- box says "ESIM" rather than "SIM"
and also in some threads users report being able to unlock verizon phones... So it's all very strange x)
Pretty much same here. Did you figure out something?
me too
Ok, so a brief update here, the results of my search over the last couple of days:
Most likely, your Pixel 3 cannot be unlocked, it has been locked by Verizon when activated on their network and we don't have a way to undo this OEM lock. If you bought it re-furbished or second hand, and OEM Unlocking is grayed out, the most likely is that there is nothing to do.

I unfortunately have a Pixel 3, from Verizon (when I bought it it was not described as a phone issued by Verizon had I known it I wouldn't have bought it). I'm trying to accomplish The impossible by finding some way to unlock the bootloader...
