You said Verizon. If it is EE you contact them and they will SIM and bootloader unlock it. Assuming the contract has been fulfilled.

unfortunately, ee uk told me that the phone status is "stolen", i bought it from ebay i have to return it before buyer protection end

Oh dear . Me thinks you should be getting in touch with the cops and reporting the seller to ebay. Some poor sod needs their phone back.

unlocking my device

Was anyone able to unlock your S6?
I bought mine in Germany and it is locked to all of the European networks.
I've order an unlock code from 5 different unlocking sites but no one can unlock it yet.
I'm in the exact same situation, and would love to know how.
someone??
same problem here with g920f from usa.
can you tell us from where you tried to buy the codes? (so we won't buy from them)
I successfully unlocked my S6 Edge through cellunlocker.net
which module do you have?
we need to buy manufacturer code or all usa network from there?

What do you mean by "which module"?
I meant by module to the phone version.
g920f / g920i / g920t and etc...

Hi there,
I was able to unlock mine two weeks ago using www.unlockunit.com. It wasn't locked on a German network, but it worked. You can try them too, maybe it works.

Google pixel 7.1.1 EE Model bootloader/network unlock

Hello, I have a question I'm planning to buy a Google pixel but the EE model and 7.1.1.
So I want to know if it is possible de BL by any chance ? and after that using depixel8 to unlock the network
Thank you

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....)

Best Buy Pixel 4a Rootable?

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 ???

As stated in that article "This method will not provide you with a T-Mobile SIM unlock."
If you want it sim unlocked you need to contact T-Mobile.

Not that I know of, but you can read/ask here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/t-mobile-bootloader-unlock.4181339/
I would recommend buying a non locked version though. Especially if you live in the eu.

Yes, would suggest buying unlocked Tmob variant unless the post above can do it. But you cant be sure until you get your phone. So..

Come to think of it, is there even a AT&T branded Pixel Pro?
If you buy it from AT&T, it's not unlockable until the SIM is unlocked after meeting their requirements.
