Is there a way to unlock the D2G to like t-mobile or att?
First you have to call Verizon and ask for the SIM unlock code. they will only give you it if you have been with them for 6 months and your account is in good standing order (no late payments etc).
Then root your phone.
Then use the Band unlock. More information can be found here
Hey jbroderick,
I want to confirm something, you also need to be in the US where you can get US verizon signal to properly sim unlock, this is true? if it is, there is any way to do this outside the US?
Thanks dude!
You do not have to be in the USA for the unlock code to be entered. You do not have to be on a cellular or WiFi network.
I think there is no way to unlock s2g if you don`t have verizon code, problem is you are outside usa.
Hey Luisfebear,
Other chilean told me that on sim-unlock.net he bought a working code to unlock in Chile the D2G. The only problem is that are 3 "different" phones por the D2G. I married with the "Motorola A956" since it's the Model that appears on the label next to the IMEI.
If you se some feedback of the D2G on sim-unlock.net, you'll see that people from other countries succesfully unlock the phone.
I'll post later for my experience.
so how do i know when 2 years will end to unlock it for other sims ? is there a way to unlock it ? im not from uk.
Hi
This will be the first time that I buy a phone on contract (24 month contract on O2, UK). Can I still unlock the bootloader and root the phone although being locked to the carrier?
Hi everyone,
I recently just get my new google pixel 3a from amazon,
but it seems like they send me the Verizon version of it.
The version of the phone is android 10 and I am trying to unlocked OEM under developer options in order to root my device,
but it's likely seems like there is no way that I can unlock the OEM...?
So I was wondering if anyone know the way of unlocking it or maybe there is a way that I can root without Unlocking the OEM.
Thank you!!

Verizon is notorious for locking down their equipment!!! I would recommend seeing if you can return it and get the unlocked variant!

Just a heads up if anyone happens to find this after grabbing the $200 3a from Verizon: they claim they will unlock your phone after 60 days, something on their site I confirmed with a rep. I'll update January 24 if it does or doesn't happen as I plan to root then (for me, a $200 discount was worth a two month delay).

Just so you are aware, the rep is talking about the SIM card lock. This is different than the bootloader unlock which is required to root your phone.
A SIM card unlock allows you to use the phone with other service providers. Most providers will lock the phone as long as you owe money on the phone. If you bought it outright or have paid the phone off, then the provider will generally SIM unlock the phone. Verizon won't even SIM card unlock the phone until it has been active for 60 days. They say this is to prevent pre-sale theft of their phones, but the policy is certainly more strict than any other provider. However do not misinterpret this to mean that Verizon will SIM unlock all phones after 60 days. If you owe money on the phone, they are not obligated to SIM card unlock it. It is possible sometimes to get the provider to SIM unlock the phone while you still owe money on the phone, but that can be hit and miss.
A bootloader unlock is needed to root the phone. Verizon is the one USA service provider that locks the bootloader of all their devices by policy. Even if a Verizon phone is SIM card unlocked, there is no guarantee that you will be able to bootloader unlock the phone or root it. Generally speaking, you should consider every Verizon phone to be bootloader locked and considering it "winning the lottery" if you are actually able to bootloader unlock it. There are times when Verizon messes up the IMEI numbers and allow phones to be unlocked, but that this just luck if it happens.
I've owned Verizon phones before that were bootloader locked and I will never buy another one. But that is my personal preference. If you have no interest in rooting your phone, then the bootloader isn't that important of an issue. But if you do want to root the phone (and it sound like you do), I would recommend that you see about returning the phone during the return period and purchasing the "Unlocked" version (the "NON-Verizon version).
Sic is correct. Verizon will only SIM unlock the phones. That was the main reason I left them back when I had to use rumrunner on my M7. Once it died and I had to get another phone, I left Verizon and never looked back. When they asked why I was leaving, I told them I might return if they ever let us unlock our bootloaders. The employee knew there was no saving me at that point.
If you want to have an unlocked bootloader, the best bet would be to have a non-carrier branded phone.
I just bought an open box OnePlus 7 Pro on eBay. It has never been activated. I use Ting, who resells T-Mobile. My SIM card works and I can make/take calls. I have cellular data. I cannot unlock the SIM/Network. Called T-Mobile. Spent an hour yelling at them. The IMEI is beyond 'clean'. They have no record of the IMEI because the phone never had an active contract with them. Bottom line is I can't unlock the bootloader because I can't SIM unlock the device.
I tried the TMO to International conversion via EDL boot mode, but it still has Enable OEM Unlock greyed out because the device is network locked.
Is there ANY way I can network unlock a GM1915 (TMO branded) without T-Mobile? The one thing that came up in my discussion with the (hogtied) T-Mobile rep is provisioning the device with a full T-Mobile service plan at (at least) $75 for the first month which would cover the (less than) 90 seconds I need to unlock the SIM. Even that option wasn't something he seemed confident about and I wasn't about to try it on a whim. They (call center people) just have no way of inserting the record into the database queried by the unlock server.
Suggestions?
**UPDATE: I used a beta of Andriod Q from the OnePlus site and have the bootloader unlocked now, but still can't carrier unlock the network.
Someone just posted a guide on how to convert it to internation, this might be what you are looking for.
