Sim Unlock Menu on LG G5 T-Mobile

Hello everyone
Please forgive my lack of knowledge on this subject.
I have a sim-locked LG H830 T-mo and managed to get an unlock code, but I can't get the sim-unlock screen, I've read somewhere that it's not possible to access that menu on new T-MO phones, the unlock app just tells me that my device can't be unlocked, unfortunately I'm overseas and bought the phone on Ebay that was supposed to be unlocked, now because I'm a world away sending it back would be my last resource, so I guess my question is, If I root and Install TWRP Recovery will I be able to reach the sim unlock screen?
BTW, IMEI is clear
Thanks in advance

I'd also like to know the answer to this question. T-mobile won't unlock mine for me as I was a prepaid customer and apparently this "device unlock" app through t-mobile is the only way to unlock it. If rooting the phone someone makes this easier I'd like to know so I can get on it...

Unfortunately, the only current way to sim unlock t mobile g5 is using the device unlock app. No one has been able to figure out another way to do so yet.
@juntjoo if you were on pre paid t-mobile pre paid for at least 40 days you would be able to unlock through app. My g5 was on there prepaid and they unlocked after about 40 days.

I think I had to do the $40 prepaid plan for two months. You can unlock after 40 days but don't get reimbursed for half months so I just used it the full two months on there prepaid before switching. Also, did you buy the phone directly from T-Mobile or a 3rd party? Only reason I ask is if you bought it from a 3rd party make sure imei is clear and phone was actually fully paid for or it still won't unlock.

Okay then using prepaid for 40 days should allow you to unlock then.

I purchased an unlock through ebay. Apparently some people have access to the database that tmobile uses to determine if the phones should be unlocked or not and will add you phone to the unlocked list. I unlocked mine last Aug. and have used it on a couple different carriers since. I can try to find the name of the seller and can send it to you if you PM me. I was really happy with them and have used them for a couple different phones.

I may get. It done tomorrow . finally got someone on twitter who was able to find my account . they told me as long as I could get a t-mobile SIM in it they could work the unlock so I'll see if my local store will let me borrow one otherwise if it's cheap enough I'll buy one.

It was like $7-10 if I remember correctly

Samsung Galaxy S7 Sim Unlock Code

(mod edit)

If the phone is IMEI blocked, which is likely is if reported lost or stolen, then you won't be able to use it on any network in that country afaik

you can't unlock your phone only by rooting and changing apn.
but you can try to contact the person who sold this phone and ask him to fix this issue, I think it may work

Hi I'm new to posting on forums so if I break protocol or etiquette apologize in advance. two weeks ago I bought a t-mobile samsung galaxy s7 from craigslist only to find it was reported lost. the phone is not catching signal anymore and I can't use it. friend of mine told me that I can unlock the network via unlock code so I could use my cricket mobile sim with this phone. I made online research and found few sim unlocking services so my question is- can use one of them to unlock my phone or I can unlock it by rooting, changing apn settings etc?

Good rule of thumb I have learned and used is to check google locks before seller leaves, And make them sign a bill of sale Printed name date and address, in most states in the U.S. most of these phones are valued over 500$ which With no profe You are technically in possession of stolen property which if valued over 500$ is a felony charge.
I have had a few close calls in the past but I do not now. It sucks cause you can get burned 2 ways.....
orig owner still prob owed on it figured they could sell it and then claim insurance. seen it done many times over to people.

Unfortunately some people do do this. Its crooked Always get a bill of sale and check for google locks if seller is in hurry, Pass it on as much as you may want a certain device and your getting a deal.

I think people get these phones on contract for no other reason than to sell them, then they either report lost or stolen, or don't pay the contract and it gets IMEI blocked
That, or they are stolen phones

sometimes the difference not only "couple hundreds" and used phone is much cheaper then new one. so better to buy a locked phone and then unlock it using sim network unlock puk code

As a general rule, whenever you will buy another device from a person or third party, check the IMEI both http://imeipro.info/
At least this is one extra filter through which you make sure you buy a phone with a clean IMEI.

it's DSDS (dual sim dual standby), but you can activate some sort of imitation of "active" mode in settings. if sim1 is busy and someone calling on sim2 (which is offline because the phone has only one baseband) all income calls on sim2 will be redirected on sim1

im now back to g930t do i need to agree to the device data collection from tmobile pink screen in initial setup process for this to work?. and to clear dalvik cache dont i need to be rooted for that? i thought flashing back to stock does that automatically. thank you for your patience im still learning,( but totally dedicated in this art. ask my wife.) one more question since tmobile has terms for unlock policy one being on network for min of 40 days, does that mean i need to request unlock using a tmo sim inserted or can this be done using wifi? reason i ask is becasue im a att user and another policy for unlock is 2 requests per 90 days. and ive already attempted a temp and perm unlock. both said inelegiable. so im trying to narrow it down to see if i needed to have tmo sim inserted at the time to connect to there remote servers. if so since i didnt at thetime of request im hoping that the 2 unlock requests didnt count. and on the other hand that would be a pain because i dont have a tmo sim. or could this be achieved using wifi.?

For anyone buying the Essential Phone outright to use on Sprint, beware.

Do NOT activate the phone directly after getting it from Best Buy/ Essential, as it'll lock your device to Sprint. They won't be able to unlock it in Sprint, or by using Sprint tech support either. I went to a Sprint store, and was told they cannot unlock in-store. I was then told to contact their support number, and was transferred 8 times to the highest level of tech support, which ended in them telling me there was absolutely no way to unlock it. So, I was forced to take it back to Best Buy, and have to wait till Wednesday for it to arrive. Apparently Sprint sims will lock to your phone if it's taken to them directly and activated, so I'd suggest putting in a VZW sim and then activating the phone on Sprint. Don't make the same mistake I made.

Lol you want screenshots of Sprint causing my phone to become locked? I can throw up pictures of my receipts of buying a UNLOCKED Essential phone, and then it becoming magically locked when my Sprint sim was inserted in it. It also rejected AT&T AND T-Mobile sims. Why would I fabricate a story of my phone becoming locked? The Sprint store reps told me this is something that happens a lot, along with Best buy employees telling me they had this happen before. Only reason I posted this was to make sure this happened to no one else. The only way this just happened to just me is if Essential accidentally shipped a locked Sprint phone out that was packaged like an unlocked phone, and I was just unfortunate enough to receive it. Or maybe I just imagined spending an hour and a half speaking to Sprint reps trying to unlock my phone and the about phone section and activation status on my phone are just bogus.....

Some more details that might be useful for buyers:
1. In store pickup seems to make the phone lock to Sprint, even if the first time you turn it on its with a different SIM inside.
2. People have reported Essential phone being unlocked if you choose delivery instead and use another SIM on first turn on of the device.

What kind of analogy is this.. putting VZW sim then activate to Sprint.
Picked-up mine and its unlock. No mumbo jumbo

To be clear, OP is saying (I think) if you first turn on phone with sprint sim and activate it, it will lock to Sprints SIM.
If you first activate it with a different sim, you will have no problems with any sim, including sprint.
Has anyone bought an unlocked phone and first activated it with a Sprint Sim?

My question is.. Why would you buy the Sprint variant outright? Why not buy the unlocked modem from best buy, amazon or essential? Its cheaper too.. Then put your sprint sim.

I didn't. I bought an unlocked one from Best buy and took it directly to Sprint to get it activated. When they did, it carrier locked my device, and I was only receiving Sprint updates... Either Essential shipped me a locked Sprint phone, or Sprint locked it when I activated my phone that I owned, which is illegal.

It's easy to see what variant in Fastboot. It will show Variant - Sprint if it is flashed with Sprint software. Are you sure Best Buy didn't just accidentally grab a Sprint model by accident?
When you get your new one power up by holding down Volume Down to get to Fastboot and check the Variant tag.

I can flash LOS but I still remain carrier locked. In fastboot it shows I am using the Open-US variant, but my device is locked to Sprint. So frustrated right now.

I bought unlocked at Best Buy. Variant is Open US in bootloader. I don't use on sprint, so I wouldn't know if it locks. Best buy does sell unlocked.

in Fastboot mode check the variant and it should say "OPENUS"

Unlocking my S8 to use with T-Mobile

Hello,
I have called Sprint many times, after they keep telling me it is unlocked domestically and internationally, I finally gave up. The phone simply says to contact sprint to unlock. I have no idea what to do. When I press UCCI Unlock it gives me an internal error(407). I tried flashing unlocked firmware (U1) But it does not work on that either. Tried booting up with T-Mobile sim inside, still same result. What to do?
Please help!

What is your phone's IMEI status in Sprint's database?
Check it here: http://imeipro.info/sprint_imei_check.html
Maybe that Sprint representative didn't tell you all about your phone.
Also, is this T-Mobile SIM, the one you are trying to use, activated?

I got mine sim unlocked
My sprint galaxy s8 i took to a cell phone shop to be unlocked. They charged me $50 ( I know it's high) but in using it with total wireless right now. Everytime I put a different carrier sim in, it takes it and changes my splash screen to whatever sim it is. So much better not being locked down to sprint.

just pay someone to unlock it, I snagged a sprint locked s8 from a guy for 100$.. paid a guy on offer up 30$ to unlock it through team viewer and had it working in T-Mobile in 20mins with great LTE speeds

That's how I got mine.. I bought mine from facebooks marketplace though for $90 off some 18 year old kid and then paid the $50 to the store to unlock it the other day. Beats paying the $850 the store wants for one that's not even unlocked. Best money I've ever spent lol

Unlocked Sprint phone still won't activate
Got an S8 from my brother after he spent a very long time getting Sprint to unlock the phone. I removed the security and did a factory reset, but it shows a message that it is locked and to contact Sprint. I took it into Metro PCS and they couldn't get it to work - the guy said he hasn't had much luck with Sprint phones.
I entered the IMEI into Sprint's database and it comes back with a "CLEAN" report. Why won't this phone activate? Shouldn't I be able to just put my Metro PCS sim in it and go?

If it were actually unlocked, then yes.
Well, no, I take that back. Even if it were unlocked, you still have to contact Metro to have them manually activate it. You can't activate a new phone on Metro simply by putting the SIM in.
But if you're seeing a message that says it's locked, then obviously Sprint didn't unlock it, which is a very common occurrence these days. Thankfully, there are other ways to get it done

Could I take you up on that offer? My phone is on boost mobile, got it now from Swappa. I have experience flashing and using Odin from an old grand prime.

I'm trying to unlock my S8 running android v9 as well, every search leads to a service and i'm just trying to do it manually. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If by "manually", you actually mean "free", you're not going to find that. You would either need to buy the necessary tools, or find a friend who has them

G7 Supra (cricket version) GSM unlock

Anyone purchased an unlock code? Couldn't find one on eBay and don't want to risk one of those $30 fishy sellers on random sites.
Thanks in advance

I'm currently using the surpa but I have att service. I used a guy who can Force a unlock

Did you buy it new? Cricket does not require 6M of continuous service, just 6M after it was activated. I picked up a used E5 Supra and paid for a month of service. Got the Cricket app and the phone had been used enough that I got the unlock code from them for free. I know some buy these with a month of service and then put them in a drawer.

cellunlocker.net can unlock it, I purchased it earlier today. I am not suggesting there the only one but the only one I could find.

Can you clarify your experience a bit more?
You say you paid for a month of Service and that the phone had been used enough to get the unlock code.
So was your phone unlocked because it had a total 6 months of paid service even though they were not contiguous?
What do you mean you "Got the Cricket app"?

I too want to unlock my Cricket Supra that has been sitting in a drawer 2 months unopened.
Can you clarify your experience a bit more?
You say you paid for a month of Service and that the phone had been used enough to get the unlock code.
So was your phone unlocked because it had a total 6 months of paid service even though they were not contiguous?
What do you mean you "Got the Cricket app"?
thanks

I bought the phone used on eBay. No idea how long it had been used, so I took a chance and paid for and used a $30 1 month refill vs paying more that that for a professional unlock service. Once I had service, I went to the Google Play store and downloaded the Cricket app. Once I had that installed, I was able to get the phone unlocked via their code- it was instantaneous, so it must have been used for at least 5 months. AFAIK, you can't get the unlock code from them unless you have service from them.
I've since sold it, but I'm sure there are instructions on getting the unlock code on their site or the app. As I recall, you can either use the app or call Cricket.

Did cellunlocker.net unlock a Cricket Moto G7 Supra for you?

Actually, I will give you a better link, they can unlock and get your original imei back if you lose it flashing images. You don't have to be rooted or unlocked to get there services. They have unlocked 5 g7 power from sprint and cricket. Doesn't matter where, it is remote service though, so you have to hook to a computer for it to work.

Thank you. I will look them over carefully. At first glance it appears attunlockcode does the same thing and charges only $26 with similar Sprint and Verizon limitations.
But I will check them.

I know this works haven't tried the other one. Also if you decide to use the link I gave you once they do the unlock you can flash retail firmware including boot.img and bootloader.img. When you look under software channel after that it will say reula1st. If you use the service you mentioned please let me know ifit works.

I used attunlockcode for 1 phone. They unlocked using USB. IMEI is changed. When I check IMEI at swappa.com it shows as clear but swappa shows it as a MOTO E.
On my phone in About phone it shows moto g(7) supra Software Channel Cricket Android version 9 Build number PC029 114-134.
Tech who unlocked said I can do factory resets and Updates.
I put in my Mint sim in it and tested calls and texting with pics. That is working fine.
When I powered phone with Mint sim cd, Mint Mobile automatically updated some settings including APN settings.
I dont know how and where to find contents of software channel so I can't share that.

How much you paid for the unlocking ?

This service is done using Moto Service. In the process, the reason why imeis are changed.
In the process, both modemst files & the FSG partitions are wiped. Which is why they get unlocked & which why many devices are getting imei repaired after the unlock.
Cheers

is that good or bad?

Very bad, they load Moto E5 efs to the Moto G7 supra to make it unlocked。
Your IMEI becomes other phone (E5) IMEI.

I am trying to use my Cricket Moto Supra as my lifeline phone through Qlink. Is there a way to unlock before 6 months use on Cricket since it's for a lifeline phone?

You don't need unlock the phone to become a lifeline phone.
Most (if not all) phone can call 911 to get emergency services, no need to pay anything to any carrier, as long you can turn on the phone, then you can to dial 911 or 112/110
