Thanks for the info. It is guaranteed to be unlockable after a certain wait period, right? ebay's return policy is like 14-30 days, so I doubt it can be unlocked in the return window.

Its unlock it's allow, right.
About the other, I don't know.

Oh it's usually 15 days but most of the times It gets unlocked a few days earlier if tried (happened to quite a few). Yep, once that wait time is over, it would unlock the bootloader when you try again but would format the storage as well.

........ vzw note 5 band 2 ? .........

Please reply ppl dose the vzw note 5 have band 2 enabled with latest update from Verizon? And if not enabled how do I enable it. Im new to the Verizon note 5
..............................................................................
Yes, the Verizon Note 5 has band 2 enabled by default. If you would like to check which bands your phone is connecting to, I highly recommend the app "LTE Discovery" from the play store. The creators have done a great job of making it work well.

Unfortunately not. Most of the dialer codes for this phone are disabled sucks, but it is what it is.
I'm on Verizon, I would like to get a note 5 but only if i can have root and unlocked bootloader. Is there a version of the note 5 I can have that will work on Verizon and be able to root and unlock the bootloader?

Nope, you're SOL. Besides, you're in the wrong thread. Bad way to increase your comment count.

No problem! If you have any questions there are lots of people who would love to help. Unfortunately this forum has been dead-ish for the past month or so. What with one guy refusing to release the root exploit he "found" and others just trying to do a little customization that's currently beyond the control of the device, there's not much going on here. If you would like to get into rooting and romming I would suggest looking at phones that aren't locked to a carrier (like the unlocked HTC 10 although I didn't like it much or a Moto). Can't beat the Note 5 though!

That's what I had before the Note 5. It was decent to start out but was beyond painful to use in the end. The 32-bit snapdragon and 3GB ram really limit how long you can keep it on before it starts to get really sluggish. I will say though I miss the feel of my N6. It was just a nice shape and the stereo front-facing speakers were fantastic. Dangit now you've got me wanting one again as a backup phone >_<

Lol if I buy one it will make my 4th N6. I would love to have something other than a nexus 6. It limits me on what I can get because I'm on Verizon and that sucks. I could get the International s8+ and use it on AT&T I guess but I really don't wanna have to cancel my service with Verizon. If I can't root and BL unlock then I don't want it. It also makes it kinda hard for me to switch carriers because I have my wife and son on my plan. Hopfully I can figure something out within the next couple weeks..

Yeah if you're looking for something that you can unlock and root, we're talking s7 and newer. I wouldn't recommend the s7 just because the snapdragon 820/821 performance really isn't up to par with the Exynos in the Note 5. That leaves the S8/Note8. I think you'd have to look for one that came from Samsung or from a carrier that doesn't bootloader-lock their phones. I know Verizon does and I think AT&T does but I'm not sure. Exynos devices are going to be hit or miss, but imo are far superior (speed- and heat-wise).

It should be illegal for carriers to lock down a phone! I have another issue as most people. My budget is tight, about 200 bucks is my limit. Right now I'm using the Xiaomi Mi Mix 128gb and 4 gigs of ram. I had a lot of people tell me that the mix wouldn't work on Verizon in the US. I haven't had any issues using the mix. I get 4g everywhere I go. I like my mix but development isn't all that great, let's just say it could be a whole lot better. I have only had this device for about 6 months I like it but I want another phone, lol. I guess I could sale my MI mix and put that money with what I already have and buy a international note 8 or s8+ but then I'd have to switch carriers and I really don't wanna have to do that if I don't have to.

I realize this, man. I was having a dialog with someone. If you would scroll up a few pages and read you would see that I was already advised I was in the wrong thread. After being told by @blockofDynamite that this wasn't a good way to increase my word count, I agreed. We then had a few discussions and I went on my way.....

Fubar!!! 360 hours to unlock... Bruno Mars says "what!?!?!?!"

Picked up a Mi Mix 2S (had a Mi Mix 2 for about a week), and I wanted to unlock the boot loader like the Mi Mix, and Mi Mix 2.
Mi Mix took 3 - 5 days, after having to go on miui forums to beg to get the sms notification to try to unlock it.
Mi Mix 2 took 72 hours... Yeah, I know, whatever. (had it about two weeks ago, and unlocked it)
Mi Mix 2s that I received yesterday, says after 1st attempt... 360 hours! That's 15 F'in days.
What Da F*** is that?!?!?!?
Is there no workaround? Can you PAY to get it unlocked faster?
This is amateur hour.
Cheers,
LormaD
No way you can only wait
This isn't confirmed by me, however there appears to be some way, users on reddit claim this has worked for them......https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/8kf0ln/fyi_xiaomi_disabled_waiting_time_of_360_hrs/
i feel with you bro… need still wait 16hours… just tried it a couple of times… i'm not sure if its really needed to wait all the time but i didn't tried any tricks at all...
i also read trying to often maybe blocks the account at all...
i thougt that my dumbass unlock tries blocked me for 360hours... i tried a couple of times unlocking but i didn't read correctly where to bind my account in the phone.. i did this a couple of times.. until i realized that i need to enable the dev mode and there bind the mi account…but looks like this is just a protection at all that resellers don't flash fake or custom roms at all...

Tried it.. not working for me.. get the error that the phone is not bound to the account. And when the phone is bound, it's 360 hours. Mickey Mouse stuff Xiaomi.
Thanks though...
I think it's better to have time limit on unlocking than have chinese sellers flashing shady stuff on every unit they sell. You can still unlock eventually, which is nice.

I don't agree with this analogy. It makes no sense. If that is the mongering reason behind this, then one day why not have hours replaced by days... 360 days? C'mon! Let's stop repeating the rhetoric.
Had I have known before, I may have NOT have purchased the Mix 2S. But once you open it and use it, you bought it. It tarnishes a great product. It comes across like a fumbling amateur, who will one day face the North American market and have to overcome much greater obstacles and scrutiny that is not biased from the public eye.
Okay, the Mix was 3 - 5 days to unlock as "people" and Xiaomi navigated the waters. I had to escalate it online to get it to unlock.
The Mix 2 was less new to me, the concept, and to an extreme better laid out (the unlocking process). Even though frustrating, having to wait 72 hours, it was what it was, a long weekend and done with.
The Flagship Mix 2S will take me 360 hours. Is that the standard for everybody? Or is it (like me) you request a 2nd unlocking within 360 hour period, automatically go from a 72 hour wait to 360 wait?!?!! Am I some kind of shady dealer LMFAO!
C'mon Xiaomi, your making Bruno Mars say WHAT?!?!?!!?

Or you just order a factory sealed one, like I did, simple as that.
Most sellers want to sell phones, can't be bothered by installing "shady stuff".
Often the sellers offer to flash a Global Version rom as a service, for the not so technical buyers.
For the technical buyers & if it says Global version, just drop the seller a message you want it sealed.
Moving units asap is the goal, every extra flashing that needs to be done costs time.
........edit.......... 360 hours also waiting for Mi ehrm.. me.. Seems to be general, unlocked lots of Mi before...

My unit WAS Sealed... brand, spanking new, global version. I broken open the seals myself. Just like the Mix 2 (which requested 72hours), the Mix 2S was sealed, it even had more packaging, protective plastic piece in place over the front and rear of the phone than the Mix 2.
Cheers
Would anyone be willing to share his account with privileges with me just for the unlock?
Purchased the Mix 2S from a big reseller here in germany, now have to wait 360 hours

If you had an old enough MI account, you can unlock the phone instantly.

Isn't huawei locking the bootloader like really bad for future rom life of this phone?
only a fraction of honor 10 users will ever get to install other roms on their phones... so who's going to develop a rom forna phone like that?

Was planning to ask for the unlock code, but....
"Unlocking the bootloader may result in unpredictable consequences for your device, including but not limited to those listed above. The user shall be held responsible in the event that the device malfunctions and cannot be recovered. Huawei will record your unlock request information; for software and hardware failures arising as a result of unlocking the bootloader, Huawei repair centers can provide repair services charged at the standard rate for repair work outside the scope of the warranty."
I'll prefer paying for an unlock app if I decide i need to one day, rather than losing my warranty for a code I'll probably never use.
If the hardware in your device starts malfunctioning - doesn't matter if 3rd party rom caused it, or if you even ever used a 3rd party rom...
chance is: huawei is going to put the blame on a 3rd party rom.
Wouldn't Huawei be better off if they kept offering the unlock codes? That way, if somebody screws up their device,
Huawei will know it's registered as an unlocked device and will not have to repair it for free
Guess they didn't think it through properly.
They stop the process of offering the codes because many people bricked their phone in the flashing/unlocking procedure and i think it were many complaints about this. So they think its a saftey measure.
I don't think requesting the code voids warranty I had a honor 9 lite that I applied for the code never actually used it had an issue later on were it would keep randomly re booting and switching off when used camera was replaced no issue under the 2 year warranty
Sent from my COL-L29 using Tapatalk
After they get their code and try roms and sh*t they brick their phone, not prior to that
Your warranty is voided after you use the code, its not like at Xioami, the bootloader will pe RELOCKED, not locked. So they can see that you used it.
I still cant get it, so i just stoped trying.
well the disclaimer is clear. when they "think" its caused by rooting (even if you never did) then you might have bo warranty because they can see who asked for the unlock code.
---
like those ppl who have malfunctioning hardware in phone, a phone that absolutely never got wet,
send it to repair and receive the message that "their phone got wet, repair will cost 90% of original price and if they want phpne back unrepaired then they need to pay 50$ for inspection and shipping costs...

Mi unlock version without wait restriction

Hi,
Is there any version of the Mi Unlock Tool that can unlock the Mi Note 3 without waiting for 72 hours?
Be grateful that you need to wait only 72 hours. For other Xiaomi phones you have to wait 720h or more to unlock the bootloader.

I shouldn't have to wait at all. It is my property and it is my lawful right to do with it what I want, even if I may lose warranty because of it.
But you are right, it could be worse, so I'll just use my old phone for three more days since I can't stand Apple UI.
Yeah but this is a Xiaomi policy - there is nothing you can do but just wait. Other brands like Nokia or Huawei don't even allow unlocking the bootloader anymore so it always can got worse.

Question I may have found out how to unlock early through T-Mobile

* I just got this phone 3 days ago *
I have not spoken with any tech support at all about this matter. I simply have been looking through everyone's post and I had came across the one where you put the special code in the dialer system. However, prior to that I had popped in my old SIM card from my pixel 4 that was already unlocked and then I did the check in. Went back to developer options and OEM was grayed out and said to connect to the internet. That was last night and obviously I put my new activated SIM back in since that time .Now today all of a sudden I get the notification that my device has been unlocked. I checked my T-Mobile app and indeed it said that my device is unlocked and ready for any compatible network.
I would also like to add that I did do the temporary unlock as well before I got the message . Not sure if that part was before or after I swapped SIM and did the dialer method. And yes I know that that wouldn't have done anything either by itself but maybe that also helped possibly fool the system into thinking I was already unlocked idk but thats it honestly. Could be luck but I wish you all luck at the same time !
I have pics for proof including the 800 I still owe on it.
you lucky dog there is another guy that did that aswell. i had to go to extreme lengths. to get it sorta done

Okay I see what your saying I'm actually gonna do some more reading into that but I do know forsure it does exactly that check in to verify a connection to the internet and I assume by pinging googles server. The success notification is saying it got the ping back, meaning it's on the internet. Where the confusion I think your at is coming from is that the OEM unlock switch requires the internet purely to check if your phone can be unlocked or not (grayed out oem switch or not), so if it didn't instantly become available it is not going going to. When the device is fully paid off the switch, at least for t-mobile, will become available. But I appreciate you digging that up I have seen the title to that thread I just have never looked at it, knowing I'm more than likely **** out of luck, for now. New phone coming soon. I hope this makes sense

It's okay I went out of my way to do it lol and as for the phone then idk wtf happened something happened somewhere and at some point it ended up with me having it fully unlocked with $800 still left to pay .about to get a laptop soon to finally root. But on the T-Mobile app it says fully unlocked idk I'm happy. But now the 8 is coming out soon I have Jump! Upgrade so I can do it but I'm so cheap I held out for 4 years with my 4 non pro lmao
I have made some decent money this year so I swap around from my 7 pro, s22 ultra, and OnePlus 10 pro. I think I may trade in one for the 8 I just can't decide between getting rid of the 22 or the one plus. I'm leaning towards getting rid of the Samsung.
