Are there FREE alternatives to getting an unlock code for the phone other then your provider?
I requested an unlock code from T-Mobile and they said it would be in within 24-hours. I updated my listing (selling the phone on e-bay) to say it would include the unlock code....then I get an e-mail back from T-Mobile saying:
"Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. We have received your SIM Unlock Request. Unfortunately, this subscriber is not eligible to receive the unlock code at this time. In order to be eligible, the subscriber must complete 40 days of active service. Please submit a new request 40 days after this subscriber was activated.
Thank You,
Sim Unlock Department
T-Mobile USA, Inc."
So I'm kind of in a bind now.

I will help you to unlock it....I know how to unlock Mobile phone from Network lock,Unlock code is best to unlock from Network Lock.That is safe and secure to unlock it,you can buy the unlock code and learn more about unlocking at here Simpleunlocking.com
I'm strongly recommending getting the unlock code from BlackBerryMEPdotCOM , these guys are reliable.
No one can give you unlock code for free. and dont try to enter incorrect unlock code. because it will block your blackberry. if you want to unlock your blackberry only use trusted sites. order your Blackberry unlock code from blackberrymep.com this site charge very reasonable price.
So I emailed LG at [email protected] the following message:
Code:
Hello, I need the instructions to unlock the bootloader for my H810. Please send them. Thank you!
Five days later they responded:
Code:
Hello,
We are sorry to inform you that currently we have no plan to support bootloader unlock on LG H810.
Currently, the LG H815 (G4) for the European market supports unlocking the bootloader.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.
For more information on unlocking the bootloader, please refer to the link below:
http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS
Best Regards,
LG Developer site Team
So when they said on their site here
Code:
We will add more devices with unlockable bootloaders unlocking permission progressively.
After giving instructions on how to unlock the bootloader for the H815, it seems a bit... misleading.
What's the confusion here? At the directive of the carriers, LG isn't about to give us full control of our device. At least not voluntarily.
You act like this is some how news that we hadn't already known for years... AT&T doesn't want us to unlock our Bootloaders END of story.
ATT has always been about locked bootloaders.
We've never expected to get one offically....
What about the new rule on unlocking devices recently approved? Can rhat be used in our favor and force an official unlock from them?
Your talking about carriers having to domestic unlock a device. That only applies to carrier usage. Doesn't help us in this case.
Sent from my LG-H810 using XDA Free mobile app
AT&T wouldn't even give me a carrier unlock code till I had completely paid off my phone. I wanted to pay it off completely, so I went to my online bill payment. There is NO option to pay for the phone. I must call customer service and give someone my credit card #. They found some loop-hole to get out of unlocking 2 of my phones now. Bad AT&T!!!
Hi friends, devs, admins and all the people of xda, well I have got this device and other from Walmart, I know this phones cannot be unlocked of this comes with a contract active or pending payments, my question today is, somebody know a trusted website/service 100% trusted and verified for unlock this Device?

For Device Unlock you need to have service for 90+ days. That's how that works. If you want an eBay service or something. honestly just find a unlocking service with good reviews but you've been warned that unlocking that way isn't official and I don't recommend it. With that said you can check out rugitin who unlocks the phone: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Metro-PCS-A...513358?hash=item33ad4810ce:g:xBAAAOSwZVhWS-sG
Remember unlocking like this isn't legit or official in anyway but if you don't want to wait 90 days with active service than this is your only option.

I heard of some people in this situation where they tried support from other country like UK and got the code.
I will try, otherwise I will return it. I got a second email from them and they re- confirm they will not unlock it under any circumstances.
email huawei uk
they gave me my unlock code
you must state that you understand the risk and assume all responsibilities, also tell them youre a developer
that seems to work
and they will ask why you want to unlock your BL
state that you are a developer and require it for testing.
theyve sent me 3.

Same issue in the US, so I emailed the UK department and got my bootloader unlocked.
Went through u k email they are generating an unlock code for my Canadian p20 pro
Seams I might be getting this phone after all. Not ready yet but boing my homework.
Just finished requesting mine from the UK site. The Canadian chat was unbelievable. He was clearly copy and pasting company formatted responses and when I questioned him he became rude and aggravated. Lol
Where exactly you requested in the UK, I email UK support no response yet, is there a live chat?
I used the email link under support. Make sure you include your model, SN, DOP. And I said I was a Canadian developer who needed it for future updates.
An other thing I heard is live chat is better and email takes a few days.

That site works... but be aware, if you use Google Pay (or any service that requires payment im guessing), GPay will not work if you unlock your bootloader..
I had to relock my bootloader because I use GPay regularly..

Sent from my HUAWEI CLT-L04 using XDA Labs
TL;DR: Don’t use a remote unlock service if you want to still be able to unlock your bootloader.
DISCLAIMER: I don’t recommend or endorse any of the vendors or tools mentioned in this post. I’m simply mentioning them in the interest of full transparency.
I recently bought a refurbished T-Mobile-locked Motorola Moto One 5G Ace (model XT2113-2). When I first received the device, I successfully unlocked the bootloader by following the instructions on Motorola’s website.
I was mistakenly under the impression that since the phone was paid off I could get it unlocked by T-Mobile directly. However, using the built-in tool to request a “Permanent Unlock” repeatedly failed with error code 255.
I spoke with one chat agent, two phone agents, and one T-Force agent (@TMobileHelp on Twitter) but couldn’t get anywhere with any of them. The T-Force agent ended up telling me that the original owner of the phone would have to request the unlock. Since I purchased it from a reseller on eBay, I have no idea who the original owner is. The eBay seller was likewise unable to help.
I decided to do some research and came to the conclusion that the only working way to unlock an XT2113-2 besides directly through the carrier is to use a remote unlocking service. Further research indicated that eBay is the best and safest place to purchase these types of unlocking services. Finally, I landed on only two vendors on eBay that advertise a remote unlocking service for this model: “quick_unlock89” and “thejmf2011”.
In the process, I also came across a single vendor on eBay (“gfix99”) advertising a T-Mobile unlock eligibility checker service that supposedly queries T-Mobile’s database directly. I have no idea if this service is legitimate or not or what less-than-legal means they have of accessing T-Mobile’s database. However, it was cheap at only $1.65, so I figured I’d order it to see what it said. Sure enough, it showed my device as being locked to T-Mobile.
From what I could tell, there was no appreciable difference between the two unlock vendors, so I went for the cheaper of the two (“quick_unlock89”). For the uninitiated, the way these remote unlocking services work is by connecting to your computer via TeamViewer or some other remote access software. Then, they copy over and run a software called USB Redirector (you can find it by Googling that plus “Incentives Pro”). This redirects your phone’s USB connection to your computer over the internet to the person on the other end. After that, they ask you to boot the phone into the bootloader by holding volume-down and power at the same time. Once you plug in the phone, they take it from there.
I created a Windows VM and used a VPN to have this procedure done on my phone, and I screen recorded the whole session. There’s not much to see, sadly. However, after the process was done, the phone indeed showed that it was unlocked in the Settings app. Also, I paid for a second report from “gfix99”, and the phone is now showing as unlocked in T-Mobile’s database as well, assuming the report is accurate.
However, as soon as they were done with the unlock, I noticed that my bootloader had re-locked. When I tried to unlock it again, I was unable to. Using the fastboot oem get_unlock_data command fails with this error: “Failed to get unlock data.” Attempting to run the fastboot oem unlock command with the unlock code I received from Motorola when I first bought the phone gives this error: “Code validation failure”.
My next step was to try Motorola’s Rescue and Smart Assistant (LMSA) tool, but even after repairing the phone with it, the bootloader unlock still failed with the same errors. Notably, the phone did still show as network unlocked after repairing it with Motorola’s tool.
I did some more digging and was finally able to find some Spanish-language forum posts talking about a program called Moto-Key Tool that is used for remote unlocking the XT2113-2 along with several other models. From what I can tell, this seems to be the tool that these two eBay vendors are using to do these remote unlocks. You can find it with a Google search if you’re so inclined (basically just add “.com” after “moto-key”). It requires the purchase of credits that seem to roughly equate to $1 USD per credit, with the entire unlock procedure requiring 25 credits.
The basic sequence of events that this software uses seems to be as follows:
From the bootloader, it enables “Factory Mode” on the phone and then boots it up into that mode.
Once in Factory Mode, it wipes the IMEI from the phone, runs some other command, and then re-writes the original IMEI back to the phone.
It reboots the phone back to the bootloader and does a factory reset.
It boots the phone back up into the normal Android OS at which point the process is finished.
I attempted to decompile some of the DLLs included with the software to see if I could figure out exactly what it’s doing, but I’m no developer, and I certainly can’t read assembly language. I have some theories as to how it’s accomplishing the unlock, but at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter for the sake of this post.
It’s important to note that neither of the eBay vendors offering this service say anything in their listings about this being a possible outcome. Personally, I never would have purchased the service had I known that. I use a T-Mobile MVNO, so the network unlock was really a “nice-to-have” for me in case I ever get to travel abroad again. The bootloader unlock is far more important to me.
I reached out to the eBay seller to express my dissatisfaction and request a refund. I’ve copied and pasted the conversation below for transparency. If the mods need me to provide proof I’m happy to do so. I just want any potential customers such as myself to be aware of the type of individuals they’ll be dealing with when they purchase these unlock services.
OP: “Hello, I had unlocked my bootloader before having you do the network unlock. Right after you finished I noticed my bootloader was relocked. I've been trying over and over to unlock it again, but I can't even get fastboot to pull the oem unlock data anymore. It just gives an error message stating "Failed to get unlock data". From what I can find online, it sounds like either the unlock data block has gone missing or is corrupt. Do you have a fix for this?”

It makes no mention that if you use your network unlocking service your bootloader will be irreversibly locked forever. It is completely unprofessional and unacceptable as a business owner to tell your customer "too bad" and then threaten to blacklist their IMEI when it is your fault for not disclosing this issue ahead of time in your listing. Obviously you know this is a problem. Also, for your information, bootloader unlocking is not prohibited by Motorola.

Second, you told me that unlocking the bootloader is prohibited by Motorola when that is not true at all. Third, you first told me no refunds would be given before then telling me that you would give me a refund but that my IMEI would be blacklisted. And now you're telling me that you'll give me a 50% refund with a "relock warranty" for my IMEI, whatever that means. This is not good business. I shouldn't have to argue with you to get you to offer even a 50% refund, and frankly, I don't put any trust in whatever "warranty" you might offer me. At this point, this device is rendered useless to me. I need it to be both bootloader unlocked and network unlocked, not just one or the other. Now I have to purchase another phone to replace it.

We don't know it happened because you modified your device. Sorry I can not refund for this kind of fishy issue. Only can refund 50% as a good gesture if you want. If you Opened Fake claims, Bad Feed backs etc. When your device is 100% factory unlock than IMEI will be black listed world wide. You have only yourself to blame. Unless you have a Developer Edition device, once you get the unlock code, your device is no longer covered by the Motorola warranty; in other words, please don't blame us if things go wrong, even if they appear unrelated to unlocking the bootloader.

Whatever exploit your "Moto-Key Tool" used to network unlock my phone corrupted the unlock data block, and now the bootloader can't be unlocked again because the OEM unlock data is literally missing from the phone. Motorola openly publishes on their support website how to unlock the bootloader for this device, but now I literally cannot do it because of your tool corrupting that portion of the phone's EEPROM. This is 100% your fault and not mine. I wouldn't even be mad about it if you were up front about this in your listing, but you don't say one word about it. As I mentioned before, I never would have purchased this from you if you had been honest in your listing and stated that this was a risk. Therefore, I feel that I am entitled to a 100% refund from you, and I don't feel that you should be threatening to blacklist my IMEI for requesting it.

To their credit, they did issue a full refund. I don’t have much faith that they won’t go ahead and purposely blacklist the IMEI anyway. At the very least, I want this information out there for anyone else considering this type of service so it’s not a total loss and the community can benefit.
If you’ve read this far, congratulations! Long story short, if you want an unlocked phone, just buy it unlocked direct from the manufacturer. Dealing with the carriers or these gray-market unlock services isn’t worth the headache.
Thank **** Canada mandates that all devices have to be sold unlocked since like 2017. And they provide free unlock codes for older phones so you're covered for sure.
I bought a moto g 5g on Amazon, because it was cheaper than the one 5g ace. It's unlocked and it's gonna stay unlocked lmao.
