1. I am a Canada WindMobile XT720 owner, from my knowledge if u have an account with them for 3months they gives out free unlock codes.
2. Root won't/can't give u 2.2, be sure root and firmware is apple and orange. Root is a permission level, such as Administrater/Guest on Windows (linux call highest permission level ROOT).
3. Android 2.2 is not coming to non-Korean XT720, however, some individuals are working on getting a modified, custom ...etc android 2.2 to work on XT720. Install/Upgrade/Modify firmware won't unlock the phone.
4. I tried the follow unlock code sellers on the internet, some honestly refunded my money, and some gave me BS unlock codes, these are the ones u should not try:
MobileInCanada(honestly refund)
WickedUnlock (gave me non-working code)
becareful these guys have multiple mirrored websites,so if u see similar only color changed website, it belongs to the same group.
I have yet to unlock my XT720... gonna wait 3 months

Have you tried flashing stock ROM, I think it's the only way you may use your mobile in your country, it's nothing to do with android version! and also does matter to superuser mode as well.
you need the following:
1. stock ROM for your country (google XT720 stock ROM)
2. RSD Lite (newest version is 4.9 I thing, google)
flash it and all done!

i purchased mine unlocked from Singapore, and then loaded the UK ROM
then I got root using this method

I am new to this Root & Flash except reading in Blogs.
If i fallow this steps 1 & 2 is my mobile will my mobile get Unlock, so that i can use any network.
If possible can you explain me clearly step by step how to install all this applications in my Mobile.
Thanks to All In Advance

the rooting is not to unlock the phone
it only unlocks the admin account, so that you can do system level stuff, with programs like AdFree and Titanium Backup
for SIM unlock you need a special number that the carrier could provide you
or if you go to those unlock sites (which usually are fakes)

You are giving not enough information for us to help. Which step did you stuck?
Did you download RSD lite v4.9 or higher?
Did you download correct stock ROM for your region?
Or at least what region are you in (or what carrier are you going to use)???
What do you mean by lock or unlock???
Did you see any wording "lock" on your mobile? Or it just not showing your carrier?? Or you can post a photo showing your phone detail in >setting>about your phone!
Did you do any setting to try to manually seach your carrier or have your tried factory reset??
Too many questions!!!
It's not just a word that we can help you out!

I am in India, when i insert India Service provider Sim Card in my mobile , its saying phone is locked, as per my understanding i need unlock the phone with unlock code to make a incoming and out going call. I brought this mobile from Canada 3 months back from " Wind Mobile "
When i contact Wind Mobile they are saying i need to be active with their service for 90 days then they will provide unlock code .Being in India i cannot activate their Sim card even though it will be more expensive for me due to rooming charges.
Even i tried to get unlock code through some web sites but they are not working.
My question is that if i install 2.2 or 2.3 version in my mobile, is that going to unlock my mobile ?
Is their any other process to unlock my mobile like Flashing/ rooting or any other solutions.
Please try to help me

seeking help........
I called today to Wind Mobiles that i am ready to pay amount for Unlock Code, still they are saying that i need to be 3 months active with their services.
Can any one help me to to solve this issue
Thanks In Advance

I am in the same situation with an XT720 from Cincinnati Bell. Except CinBell policy is not to supply unlock codes for any reason. Is there likely to ever be a way to unlock the XT720? Thanks!

Phone from EE UK, no chance for unlock bootloader?

Hi I bought a phone from EE, in Dev options I can see that OEM unlock is disabled. Does that mean I have to wait 6 month's for EE to revive SIM lock in order to unlock bootloader and root phone?

Just checked my EE Pixel 2. The wording of the 'OEM unlocking' option is 'Unavailable on mobile-locked devices' so I would guess that that is indeed the case.

If you read EE terms and conditions, the 1st 6 months EE own the device under contract. You will need to wait 6 months before you can request unlock code or server side activation. Is this what you want to query? or are you looking to root the device and install custom roms?
I am sure you could source a unlock early if you know where to look on the net

I also have EE version of Pixel 2 and it is sim locked.
I'm trying to find solution for SIM unlocking but I cannot find
If you have any suggestion please share

The way around this is to RMA your phone and Google will replace your carrier locked phone with an unlocked version.

Dont think this is the option in my case.
I bought my phone on Amazon and I live in couny where Google doesnt sell Pixel 2 phones.
For me, i think, the only option is EE Unlock sim code.
I have't tryied this butA EE has option for second hand buyers, to unlock phone. You need to call nuber...... and follow their instruction.

Hi Stea1th,
Will this actually work? I received my Pixel 2 yesterday as a contract upgrade from EE but because it's carrier locked to them I can't unlock the bootloader :crying:
Also do you know where the online form is to RMA it? The link that google has put in their warranty page to start the RMA process literally loops you back to the same instructional page
Thanks

Verizon samsung galaxy a51 sm-a515u root?

NEWBIE HERE BOUGHT THE VERIZON A515U RECENTLY.

HELP ME WITH THIS CHALLENGE PLEASE, I WOULD BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. BASEBAND VERSION A515USQU1ATBH :good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:

You currently cannot unlock any US version of this phone.

Never

so this phone is impossible to aquire root permission ?

Yes. It is impossible to root (unlock bootloader) currently. This phone may never be rooted. Brought one for my spouse, she does not need root. When I found out that it cannot be rooted, I passed on buying one for myself. Nice phone.

Yeah but its about the challenge of discovering the formula. You guys always find away when we get a good thread going, and put are ideas together.

Plus got rid for of my verizon firmware and flashed the usa unlocked
sm-A515U1UEU1ATC8_A515U1OYM1ATC8_XAA_10.0 download zip https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261804108 follow this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a51/how-to/a515u-a515u1-firmware-links-flashing-t4092311..
at least i could get rid of all the verizon bloatware and most of samsung bloatware too but phone really not compatible with other network providers, it prompts me for verizon network unlock code if i put a diferent sim card att and sprint.

You need a sim unlock to use a different carrier. Check with Verizon. People that purchase this phone should not expect it will be bootloader unlocked.

Well that sucks, but your wrong I did network unlock without any codes, I just changed the apn settins, i didn't pay nothing to no one. And it is possible to unlock bootloader if u got 65 dollars, any Samsung usa variant from s9 and up https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...unlock-for-samsung-us-canada-devices.4215101/ or here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/sampwnd-usa-model-bl-unlock-info-u-u1-w.4201689/ , but I can't afford it so im going to have to figure it out on my own like usual, plus I only payed 15 dollars for this phone and the screen is already cracked, I know how to replace it but Samsung screens are such a pain and expensive, im waiting to find something worth wild on offer up so I can finish trashing this one.

Question OnePlus unlock token page blank

Greetings, so I recently upgraded my phone to oxygenos12 and it came with a lot of glitches and I hate it. Try to flash back oxygen11 and realised the bootloader is locked. So I tried downloading back the unlock token for the phone from my email and the oneplus token page keeps coming up blank with no token download. I saw you have to be logged in to download it and I did the same and I get the same blank page. what's really going on here? I really need oxygen11 back since this 12 here isn't supporting my two sim cards and my cellular data isn't working!!!!

OnePlus page must be down. I’ve been trying to get on there for the last 12 hours.

I have been trying this too,, it's coming blank.. like what's happening here I just get my new phone which is t mobile varient

Website is still down for me. I contacted OnePlus and they went on the routine of trying to make me fill out for another unlocking token and telling me it’s 7 days blah blah blah. They weren’t getting the fact that their website is broken. Finally after 30 different screen shots and copied links they finally understood. Hopefully the IT team can get the page back up asap

Still blank for me. Just my luck... I've been putting off rooting my oneplus 6t for so many years and finally decided to do it...

Hi you shouldn't need a token to unlock bootloader for OnePlus devices.
You should also have OEM unlock enabled in developer options.
Fastboot OEM unlock

Good morning sir have you been able yet to get on the unlocking token site?Cauese i just tried and still coming up blank.I dont know what to do now t o get my token to unlock the boatloader.

Same problem here.i talked to Oneplus using their chat service and they are saying they are working on it.
Not sure how long it will take to restore service?

also blank here (NE USA). since 08/11/2022
i tried with a foreign vpn and instead of a blank page i received a oneplus custom 404 error
if you inspect the code of the unlock_token page. all the code looks like it's there
my OP tech support says the link doesn't work because i won't send me phones imei # over email... BIG DERP tech support at our service

this is inncorrect for the TMOBILE variant. FOR TMOBILE ONLY.... the oem unlock option is only so you can retrieve the unlock code. once you receive the token you will be able to flash it and fully unlock the phone.

I still haven't been able to get on the site. It's still broken here for me. I talked to chat support multiple times and it takes some convincing that the site is actually broken. Then I send them links and screenshots and they say they will send it over to IT.. but is been almost a week and nothing has been fixed... I asked them it they could send me my unlock token file in a email and no response lol

This is my first experience with one plus and it's not so good the phone is good but the tech support sucks nobody seems to know anything about why the page is broken or when it will be fixed or for that matter any way to deal with this token crap.

Looks like OnePlus doesn’t give a ****.this is ridiculous

I just got done with chat support was able to drag some info out apparently the support department has only received a communication from the team handling the token page issue with please give more time. I have a feeling that they have no idea what's going on and have a complete communication breakdown so who knows how long this is gonna take. I only received the generic answer of please give another 24hrs for a response "I won't hold my breath" in the meantime dose anyone know a bypass for getting around this token nonsense?

Wrong!!! The T-Mobile variant requires a unlock token. Only the factory unlocked version does not.

There is no way. I've been looking everywhere and there is nothing that says how to bypass it. If this doesn't get fixed tomorrow, I'm sending phone back and not getting a t-mobile variant ever.

Technically it is the T-Mobile software that's triggering that. If you convert it to global or EU, you don't need it, but you get stuck having to have root to get data working (software thinks the phone is dual SIM and it breaks it). Also, if your device is SIM locked, it's stuck that way unless you flash back to T-Mobile firmware to unlock it.

Well what your saying is not possible because in order to flash firmware, you need to have the bootloader unlocked so NO!!!

Nope, just an MSM Tool that can flash a T-Mobile variant. I don't know if one exists for the 9 but there is one for the 9 Pro that you can use to get to EU software and then use the global 9 downgrade package to get back to proper 9 firmware.
Convert your T-Mobile (LE2127) to EU via MSM, No unlock.bin needed!
*** Use this at your very own risk. *** You will lose all data *** Backup your working modemst1/2 and persist. If you lose these for any reason, it's unique to your device and not recoverable if you didn't back up (via MSM or other people). ***...
