Is there some binary I need? I've heard different things but unsure how to get OEM switch to light up versus greyed out. I'm new to this brand. I'm told you must wait 45 days? There are no custom ROM yet so not needed I guess but I'm curious nevertheless.

Call in to Customer Service and make up some story on how you will be out of the country for 3+ months and will need your phone unlocked so you can use it. They will override the wait to unlock it...
I will try

Is there some program they send me that actually does this unlocking? Forgive me but I have not used OnePlus phones yet and am trying to learn this Oxygen OS layer. I basically only wish to root to get root level apps to backup app data etc. The idea that SIM unlock = Bootloader Unlock is very strange. No other equipment works like this. You can SIM unlock without BL unlock. So please educate me. Thanks.

If you have a T-Mobile version... There is an app on it named "unlock", it's controlled through there. If not T-Mobile then I do not know.

there is an unlock app on your phone called "Unlock"
If you use the Unlock app, chances are it will tell you that your device cannot be unlocked because it is not yet paid for in full (that is, if you're financing it). You're best off contacting T-Mobile Help on Twitter

Maybe it is this device since it is so new. I give up for tonight and will check tomorrow. It says it is checking it live on their server so if she actually did unlock, unsure why it would error out.

if only youve said so since the beginning. anyways, that Ebay guy just unlocked it in 10 minutes. But lo and behold... now i cant Sim unlock it since the phone says "this phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked"... im sure the previous owner was stupid enough to put a wrong IMEI unlock number more that 10 times... ****ing dammit...

There are always ways
I have LG Flex 2 ATT. I slept with my phone by my side and when I woke up I saw the phone has white screen and it asks for 'backup pin' and 'Account unlock' codes. I don't know what triggered it but I am not able to use my phone and it doesn't accept any google account username and password. I don't remember setting any 'PIN' on my phone either. How do I get in?
Any help please?
The best thing if you dont mind to loose your internal data is flash the KDZ firmware on the device, if you dont know how to do it search in this forum!
If you dont want to try...the only way to solve it is send it to LG support service!

I did a hard reset but after reboot it still asks for the same Google account as before. Second, AFAIK flashing any other firmware will brick my device.

are you sure they ask for google account?! i mean, that only happens when someone have trying to acess the phone and fail the PIN code or something for 5 times and the device get locked and ask for that...but i dont know anything else to lock the phone and ask for the google account!
i see some users get the phone locked by mcafee and ask for a PIN for mcafee and not google! is really strange.

I did hard reset the same way. But google still asks me the account associated with the phone before the reset. This is how google thinks will prevent stolen devices.

This sounds like this isn't your phone. You can't remember the password or the google account associated with it? If you can't remember the google password, you can reset that.

Tbf it does sound a little fishy. I initially called bs too before looking at your post history and seeing you were active here before this thread. Personally I'd rather people err on the side of caution before giving advice on how to bypass a lock screen.

I have already mentioned before that I would produce the proof of purchase if anyone does have a solution. I even wrote the same to LG too. But LG said they can fix it only if the phone is mailed to them and have a return mailing address in USA only.
For others who are in the same situation as I was, I found a solution. Though, I had to pay for it. After trying everything found on forums for almost a month there was no other solution left. Finally got my phone working, have to admit LG has done one heck of a job securing this device.

The hicare app is another route to go down, successful for some, some told not allowed, and some told ok but dont get any action taken by huawei.
Depends on ur patience, if ure willing to risk waiting. Ive ended up selling mine, had it for 3 weeks and only used it to try to get unlock code through hicare.
Lifes too short to wait 1 or 2 months to get the most basic thing, just get a different phone, its not worth the hassle. Lets be honest, its only an "ok" spec phone and easy to get alternative. Huawei and forum users wont care (not being rude), only youll waste time you wont get back
Bro, I had a 7x and I saw there was absolutely NO development for the same on xda and as a result I sold it and bought it spending extra as 5t was not in stock. If you say its just an ordinary phone, I would not agree to this as I'm using it and I love the features, camera and responsiveness and I never regret the decision of buying this device.
But literally speaking, Indian Huawei support is useless and the people over there are just none other than a customer support executive who even doesnt know what is a bootloader
I have mailed them and those fools replied that "your complain is registered and this is the complaint number". The excitement goes far away after getting this kinda reply which shows a good wait time and that too, will be chance and there wont be any surity that they will understand and give the unlock code. Only this disaapoints, knowing that Oneplus has absolutely no limitations. Lets hope for the best and once I get the code, I'll chuck out EMUI forever from my device and never go back to huawei support.
My phone seems to have been rebranded by the seller.
I am using the european rom.
I received a boot loader unlock code via Google questionnaire, Europe huawei mail and Europe huawei twitter account.
But they tell you the same code number.
However, the code number can not be recognized.
i dont know if the code number is the problem or if it is the problem i tried from the rebranding rom.
i love the form and hardware in this device, but the inability to ROM it is beyond frustrating. I'd send it back if I could for a refund.

Hit up TMOhelp on twitter and ank for perm. sim unlock. That's what I did and they got it sorted, and my phone isn't completely paid yet. I told them that I wanted to run the new dev preview of 11 and they hooked me up. I've been a customer forever and have been in good standing as well. It is their option, but TMOhelp on twitter has been the best source to get this done.
Does anyone know how to unlock the bootloader? Or does anyone have the source to root a galaxy note 20 ultra (snapdragon)? I've seen the link saying why someone did it but it doesn't explain how they did it, or where. I understand i might have to pay but honestly it's worth it.

SamPWND unlocks bootloader on Snapdragon GalaxySamPWND is a paid service that (remotely) helps you unlock the bootloader on Snapdragon Galaxy devices sold in the USA and Canada. This service is provided by XDA Recognized Developer and long-time community member elliwigy. He first announced this service over at XDA in December 2020.
He is the same developer who found an exploit that led to root solutions for various Snapdragon devices including Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S9/S9+, and Galaxy Note 9.
Here’s the old direct link to SamPWND’s official website: https://www.sampwnd.com/... but unfortunately the site is down.
You can contact elliwigy here though and ask.
