Hey guys, i'm at it again..

Hi there OP really can not understand your offer, can you be a bit more precise - you are offering to GSM unlock LS997 device which actually is by default GSM unlocked?

Can you please provide some sort of proof that a stock ls997 is unlocked by default?
As shown in my video they are NOT unlocked from factory.

Sure thing - they are not unlocked by default.
My fault - missed the video and was confused thinking that you are offering similar trick to famous switch to Lab Network mode via Hidden_menu apk.
Now everything is clear - you really offer the right and true SIM unlock via direct radio flash of unlocked one. So - I'm in if there are still free slots left

There is a few slots open! pm me on skype stoney.lawson is my username.
the lab network mode no longer works on the V20 as I posted a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGTXqetFq4g
I'm also not even flashing a radio, your baseband will never change.

Thanks for advance!

I will also volunteer a LS997 if you are still looking for people.

I'll throw my hat in the ring too if there's still a spot open.

Can you unlock V20 LS997 ZV8??

Sprint V20 here.

I don't have Skype but I'm in

I am very interested in this. Are you still doing the unlocks? Sprint phone with the latest software update.

I am really in need for an oem unlock

ME PLEASE!!!
I've been trying for about 6 months now to find a way to use my v20 ls997 with my carrier. I bought it as supposedly unlocked on offerup to find out that my at&t sim won't work.
regards
DeeKay

I ended up buying the unlock service on ebay. Make sure you look for one that can do the newest versions.

Don't know if you are still looking for ls997's to unlock but I need mine unlocked. I am running Android 7.0 and hidden menu doesn't work for my MetroPCS SIM card. I'm willing to try anything.

Sim Unlock Menu on LG G5 T-Mobile

Hello everyone
Please forgive my lack of knowledge on this subject.
I have a sim-locked LG H830 T-mo and managed to get an unlock code, but I can't get the sim-unlock screen, I've read somewhere that it's not possible to access that menu on new T-MO phones, the unlock app just tells me that my device can't be unlocked, unfortunately I'm overseas and bought the phone on Ebay that was supposed to be unlocked, now because I'm a world away sending it back would be my last resource, so I guess my question is, If I root and Install TWRP Recovery will I be able to reach the sim unlock screen?
BTW, IMEI is clear
Thanks in advance
I'd also like to know the answer to this question. T-mobile won't unlock mine for me as I was a prepaid customer and apparently this "device unlock" app through t-mobile is the only way to unlock it. If rooting the phone someone makes this easier I'd like to know so I can get on it...

Unfortunately, the only current way to sim unlock t mobile g5 is using the device unlock app. No one has been able to figure out another way to do so yet.
@juntjoo if you were on pre paid t-mobile pre paid for at least 40 days you would be able to unlock through app. My g5 was on there prepaid and they unlocked after about 40 days.

I think I had to do the $40 prepaid plan for two months. You can unlock after 40 days but don't get reimbursed for half months so I just used it the full two months on there prepaid before switching. Also, did you buy the phone directly from T-Mobile or a 3rd party? Only reason I ask is if you bought it from a 3rd party make sure imei is clear and phone was actually fully paid for or it still won't unlock.

Okay then using prepaid for 40 days should allow you to unlock then.
I purchased an unlock through ebay. Apparently some people have access to the database that tmobile uses to determine if the phones should be unlocked or not and will add you phone to the unlocked list. I unlocked mine last Aug. and have used it on a couple different carriers since. I can try to find the name of the seller and can send it to you if you PM me. I was really happy with them and have used them for a couple different phones.

I may get. It done tomorrow . finally got someone on twitter who was able to find my account . they told me as long as I could get a t-mobile SIM in it they could work the unlock so I'll see if my local store will let me borrow one otherwise if it's cheap enough I'll buy one.
It was like $7-10 if I remember correctly

LG Tribute HD SIM Unlock?

I recently bought a used LG Tribute HD. It's through the Sprint network, but because of it's GSM capabilities i bought it to use on Cricket. I contacted Sprint to get a domestic unlock for it, but they refused to do so because i couldn't provide them with the original account owners name, pin, and security question answer. I tried getting this information from the guy i bought it from but he will not reply to me. Before purchasing it, i checked he MEID on several websites to make sure it wasn't backlisted/stolen, which they all reported it was not.
I've seen many websites that provide unlocks for a fee, and I'd be more than happy to do so, however i can't find a single one that works for this phone or with Sprint MEIDs in general.
Does anyone here know of one that does/can unlock this phone? Or possibly any other method?
Thanks

octoplus box will unlock your sim i think but the problem some are facing is manually inputting your apn after but there is a thread on this here. Look up our root thread at the end and there is a link posted to our sim unlock thread which is separate.

Thanks for the reply. I just looked up the Octoplus Box website, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to look for. Is it that $170 box that is needed to reprogram the device? Or do they actually offer a service to unlock the phone remotely?

The box can unlock the sim for you but i believe its mentioned in the unlocking thread that you can also get it unlocked on ebay as well there may be free ways as well... However my focus has been on finding us a root exploit so unfortunately i cannot provide much assistance when it comes to the sim unlock that will likely be a task i tackle after root is accomplished ?

Apk not working
I have a LG tribute hd from Sprint and I want to get it working for T-Mobile but I can't is there a solution? I don't want to spend any money.
I need to use an LG Tribute HD on Sprint but the phone is a Virgin Mobile phone. I've requested the phone to be unlocked by Virgin Mobile but I fear the phone may also need an ESN change or something.
If unlocking doesn't allow it to work on Sprint, then how can I configure it to do so?

Galaxy J7 Sky Pro (SM-S727VL) Root and carrier unlock

Hello everyone,
I'm a little new to rooting android devices. I have a galaxy j7 sky pro that I'm trying to root and unlock from tracfone to use with a different carrier. I have tried with Odin, cf root, supersu, one click root, kingoroot but nothing has worked. Any suggestions ?
Thankyou

Have you unlocked your bootloader?
I need the same thing
Ok to keep this alive, there are a boatload of cheap phones on the market now a days, these tracphone j7's can they be sim card unlocked at all??While I am at it, the one I have is a GSM nano, while the Data is locked on cdma, can this be changed at all?? or is this norm??
After 1 full year of service

They can be carrier unlocked after 1 year of service. If you have forgot to reload or run out of minutes, the timer restarts. This goes for straight talk and tracfone (as far as I know).
I also have a J7 Sky Pro and i really need it carrier unlocked and would like it rooted. I am currently figuring this thing out so i may be able to help.
anyone get anywhere on these tracphones yet???
here's a reply to the after one year unlock above, if I wanted to hear that I wouldn't be here. I OWN this phone, I have a receipt where I purchased the phone cash from a retailer. There was no agreement, issued, signed, nor agreed to what I had to do with the phone after I purchased it. If I choose to unlock it and use it on any network I choose including ones out of the USA, that is my business. Now as far as bootloader, ok it's unlocked, now what is the next move here??? Sorry to sound crass but if you can't add to the conversation with REAL information stay on the porch.
anyone have any luck with these j7 vl yet????

Tracfone security is tough. The only possible way to root it would be to find a leaked engineering firmware online somewhere and flash it to the phone. Then try king root. Also, unlocking would be kinda useless for this phone. The bands for this phone do not support ATT or Tmobile. It's a Verizon device since it ends in VL.
Now if you bought the 737TL version, unlocking would make more sense.
I'm samsung illiterate and really need help.
I hope I'm on the correct thread. I really need help. I won't use the correct terminology but hope someone is fluent in dumb blonde. My phone broke so I went to Wal-Mart and bought the j7 sky pro because it said it's powered by T-Mobile and that's my network. After powering on I was told my SIM wasn't valid. I googled the phone and learned about unlocking. So I went on YouTube to learn how only to discover that it's supposed to automatically show a screen asking for an unlock code. My phone however does no such thing. If I purchase an unlock code how do I enter it? It's really important because I have a 3 year old with special needs and in order to get to dr appointments for him we use uber but to install uber on my new phone I need a code to be sent via text and since my network is locked I can't receive texts. This could literally be a matter of life and death for my child. I can't afford another 100 dollar phone and without uber don't even have a way to get to a store to buy one. Any help would mean so much

Still nothing for the phone? Don't care about unlocking th3 carrier bc it's NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING. I want root bc of many other things. Tons of crap on the phone that's unneeded as well as my love for xposed modules...someone possibly has a root file by now?

Where did you get the bootloader ing to flash at?
Type #83865625# (#TFUNLOCK#) and it will prompt for the unlock codes. Yes codes. There should be two of them. As for root, I am working on it. Ive come pretty close already but don't wait for me to do all the work, go find the engineering system or engroot and post it.

Sprint Galaxy s8 sim unlock

Hey there, I want to sim unlock this Gs8 I got from Sprint, Model: Sm-G950U , Software version: G950USQS2BQL1, I received an unlock code but was not able to input the code because it just said sim error contact sprint immediately, Unlocking by sprint isn't a choice as they extorted money out of me, I really want my galaxy s8 to be in service again any Idea where to start? Any help will be much appreciated , I come from a background of good software knowledge so other approaches are good too.
Sprint extorted money out of you?
Extortion is illegal in this country...
Does your phone asks for codes or not?
If it doesn't ask for code you can try the following 3 methods, however, they are not 100% guarantee to work:
Method #1: Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press #7465625*638*# Once prompted for code, enter the 8 digit Unlock Code.
Method #2: Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE#
Method #3: Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #0111*UNLOCKCODE#
If none of these work, also check if your phone's IMEI is clean and not reported or blacklisted by Sprint.
Sprint phones are usually unlocked one of two ways and neither has anything to do with a code. One is via Sprint with an OTA thing. The other is via root + a 3rd party tool like z3x, Octopus, or something similar.

Need to SIM unlock Sprint galaxy s8 (also fear it may be "black listed" unpaid lease)
I bought the phone from someone and thought it would work but I was trusting instead of smart.. Should've checked it out first. Anyways im negative a couple hundred $$ and I would love if some one would be able to help guide me through unlocking the SIM and if necessary rooting etc. To make it work for my Metro PCS account. In short I need to be able to I assume "SIM unlock" my S8 and hope it'll just be ready to pop my metro SIM into it and it works. Any advice? Will it work if I can just unlock it and use my metro SIM? Or since its an the lease hadnt been fully paid will that be a problem... Ive checked on a couple sites that let you see the IMEI number and if its black listed but it isn't... Please help.

Correct. It IS an advertisement - and not a very good one. He obviously has no knowledge of phones whatsoever if he thinks that Sprint devices use codes
I too have a Sprint phone which I wanted to unlock with the help of information here on the site. Since you won't be able to use unlock codes, and also bcause when I called Sprint they wouldn't help me -told me to contact the seller of the phone to have it unlocked, I was desperate for any unlocking method. Hard to find a working one and didn't want to waste too much time (old Galaxy S5 was already at it's last breath) I made contact with one of the unlockers here on XDA and one was able to unlock it remotely for me. I did pay $15 but with the crappy internet I have and since most unlocking sites are asking $39 for unlocking S8 then I really didn't mind this $15. Took well over a few hours to do since I had to download combination file for my phone which took a while. It's unlocked now thanx to vosi7en here at xda. I do have 1 problem now and that's tethering.....I don't have the option to do any hotspots. Anyone have an idea? I can't root yet cuz I'm on latest Oreo now.

T-mobile op8 sim unlock

So I'll preface this post by saying I can see there is an older thread that's related but has been locked so that's why I'm creating this one. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction of getting my op8 unlocked. It was purchased through t-mobile and is still being paid off. From what I can tell is it should be possible to get it unlocked I just don't know where to turn too. I've thought about calling t-mobile but from what I can tell is they typically offer temporary unlock codes and I'm not sure if that will suit me in my pursuit of rooting my phone. Anyways any help is much appreciated and thanks in advance.

Are you 100% certain of this? In old thread that's since been closed a user offered unlock services to people and they stated your phone could be unlocked even if it wasn't paid off.

You do not have to have it paid off. The usually want you to wait about 2 months and two payments and will issue a permanent unlock.
They have the ability to press a button and unlock, they may just not do it.

Was it oneplus or sprint that provided the unlock for you?

Did you speak with Sprint Care or T-Mobile?

No not yet but I will here shorty. They've done it for me in the past without issue but I was an active duty air force person going overseas so hopefully they'll unlock me once again as a civy.
Call sprint customer service tell them you talked to oneplus and in order to get your phone working you need to downgrade software and the only way to do that is to unlock bootloader and only way to do that is a sim unlock if they won't do it request to speak with tier 2 in oklahoma they will call you m-f and as soon as you say that they process sim unlock
I just hit the TMobile permanent unlock to see if it would work and it did!
Permanent unlock allows toggling of OEM Unlock in developer options.
I am a Sprint-turned-Tmo OP8 user.
Does this mean I'm simply waiting for them to send email with bin file?
Anyone here already unlock via OP site?

Yes, you have to wait 7 days to the minute and they will email you and tell you its ready for download. Have unlocked a few months back.
I don't even have the unlock app on my oneplus 8. I remember having one on my oneplus 6t but it's not there on the 8.
