Hello, I just bought an Alcatel Onetouch idol 3, from my Romanian provider(Vodafone), as I saw in other threads over here, everyone's talking about sim unlocking on websites, but my question is..
Is there any way to unlock the sim via bootloader, or flashing another firmware ?
Thank you
I also tought of the next way:
Unlock bootloader via WinDroid, gain the supercid, then use the windows update utillity to make an firmware update to an unlocked firmware
What you think ?

No one has reported on this forum to my knowledge a successful sim unlocking from a provider purchased idol 3. Here in USA it comes out unlocked from Amazon. I think you are confusing bootloader and sim unlock because I know of no "firmware" method of sim unlocking short of having the unlock code....although I certainly could be wrong Since you have only so many tries the best method is get your provider to give you the unlock code. Here in the USA you can get one from your provider if your account is in good standing and it's been 90 days since your last request. Most folks tell them they are going overseas and want to be able to use the phone....something similar might work for you?.
I went to my provider, and checked it there, the unlocking code was 60e, because the contract was still available, anyway..
I went to a GSM, and the guy took me 10e to unlock it xD
So I bought a unlocked google pixel 3a on ebay a few months ago and the OEM is greyed out. It says under the OEM that it can't be unlocked because it's carrier locked but I checked and it let me switch carriers. I'm not sure what's wrong with it and any help would be great.

There is nothing out of place in your description, what you are asking about is not an issue, it is a matter of you not understanding the difference between bootloader unlock and carrier/network/SIM unlock.
OEM unlock setting and network unlock are two different things.
The OEM unlock setting deals with unlocking bootloader in order to use unapproved/modified software and/or root android devices.
Carrier/network/SIM unlock deals with switching to a different country/region/carrier/network.
You can have a carrier unlocked device while also having a locked bootloader. In your case, your device is not network locked "to" a specific carrier, it is merely bootloader locked "by" a specific carrier.
If it is a US Verizon branded Pixel 3a, the bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked. I believe the US AT&T Pixel 3a is also bootloader locked, but I could be wrong.
What is your Pixel's exact model number? Is it a carrier branded device? If so, what carrier name is printed on the device or what carrier name shows during boot animation or what kind of carrier bloatware is on the device?

Thanks for the response, my model number is "G020C" and on the ebay page says the locked version is locked to sprint however there aren't any sprint bloatware on the device nor is there any carrier name on the boot up animation just the google logo. Do you think it still would be possible at all to unlock the bootloader at all?

I'm not familiar with your specific device. It seems to me that it is probably a Sprint Pixel 3aXL(your model number shows up as a Pixel 3aXL, not as a Pixel 3a as referenced by your posted above) but has been flashed with the Vanilla Google stock firmware instead of a bloated Sprint stock firmware.
As for unlocking bootloader, you should be able to unlock it, but, you will have to research the exact method to unlock the bootloader, sometimes devices require a method that is specific to that device, the generic bootloader unlock methods do not work on all devices.

Okay that actually explains a lot, do you think it would be possible to enable the OEM from a pc? I'm just having trouble finding a guide to unlocking the bootloader because a lot of them require the OEM to be unlocked in the developer options.

You may have to wait for a certain period of time before you can enable OEM unlock. Some devices just require being in a powered state with a constant mobile data connection for at least 7 days straight, then the OEM unlock setting can be enabled. Some devices have other additional requirements for unlocking bootloader.
What you probably should have done is unlock the bootloader before you switched the device to a different network, then, after the bootloader was unlocked, then you could have switched networks. An incomplete SIM unlock can cause the OEM unlock setting to be grayed out, correctly or completely unlocking the SIM might make the setting available.

Yeah I heard about that you have to use a device for a certain amount of time for certain carriers, but I've been using this phone for months now and the option hasn't been available yet. I'm not sure what requirements I have to do since the device is carrier unlocked now. Could I hard reset it and before I put the sim card in would the OEM option be available?

You would be better off to ask your questions in the Pixel 3a XL Q&A subforum, the members there are users of that device and would know more about the specifics involved for your specific model number/carrier.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3a-xl/help
Here is a link to the complete Pixel 3a XL forum, search through the subforims for more information about your specific model number.

I like rooting my devices as I like having control over them and what they do. The Galaxy A32 5G is no exception so I was disappointed to see that the OEM Unlocking was not even shown in the Developer menu. I did a little research and basically if you got this phone through the 5g Trade-Up promotion (I suspect most did) then you're stuck on stock until April 19th 2023 or later when these phones get paid off. So unless you pay it of sooner or are in the military being deployed overseas, then you're stuck on stock.

Check again in a week or so. Samsung phones always block displaying the oem unlock option for that long, from what I have read.

There also is a special binary from T-Mobile that needs to be flashed.
I don't think we will ever see it. My A10e still has no OEM unlocking option and its been active for months.
Also as a test OEM unlock does not show up even when the A32 5G is carrier unlocked either
How about some kind of turbo sim? May be some paid services ? Really need to use with another sim... And if I pay it off I will not get credits, right?

I was able to convince T-Mobile to unlock my phone. I can confirm that network unlock does not enable OEM unlock option in Developer Options.

Wait til you get at least 1 bill credit before you pay it off just to make sure the promotional credits are active. But if you do pay off the phone, you'll still receive the promotional recurring device credits as long as that line remains active. Info here if you want to read the details by T-Mobile.

T-Mobile phones can only be carrier unlocked, which I believe is done via the network and IMEI, not through software/boot loader. T-mobile phones can not be OEM unlocked at this time. I am not sure if a carrier unlocked T-mobile dump would get us any closer to a root, and I don't think a dump is possible via the directions you posted since it requires root.

Dumps actually don't require root AFAIK, you sure? Even then, a T-Mobile unlocked person could easily root boot.img with magisk and then pull it.

working on this.
Any luck?
If this phone (A326U) can't have the bootloader unlocked it is of almost no use to me. I wonder if I can return it.
It will go to fastboot and can be seen via fastboot devices. Issuing fastboot flashing unlock returns
FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I suppose this means existing bootloader does not have these commands in it or the missing OEM locking option is preventing the command from running?
Also I am wondering if there is somewhere to buy one that can have the bootloader (like for Metro PCS or other).
T-Mobile indicates they will bring a phone in to their network that can be unlocked but their policies (as mentioned in other threads) preclude unlocking a T-Mobile sourced device that has not been on their network for 40 days or after the 2 year contract if it is a contract purchased phone. An externally sourced phone can be added to their network and unlocked for SIM and bootloader.

Today I used the Samsung chat option on the website and asked for the unlock code for my A32 5G on Metro POS network. They put a ticket in for unlock code request. I'll let you know how it goes!
I have a OnePlus 9 T-Mobile (LE2117). I got the bootloader unlock code from the OnePlus and was able to unlock the bootloader (fastboot oem unlock).
The phone was bought from T-Mobile and it is not paid off. In the Settings > About device > Network Unlock settings it says that it is locked and it is not eligible for neither permanent unlock nor temporary unlock. The temporary unlock is not available, because it was already applied for 5 times during this year.
I am outside of USA and I do not have a T-Mobile sim-card.
Does anyone know whether it is possible to unlock the network, if the bootloader is already unlocked?
PS: I searched here and I saw people saying that it is possible to unlock bootloader only after unlocking sim (network), but my request to OnePlus for unlocking bootloader was approved and I got the unlock code file (unlock_code.bin).

A few months ago I ran the gamut for exactly this because a neighbor bought a T-Mobile version of a device off a local classifieds site thinking he'd unlock it and put a custom ROM on it. Turns out dude who sold it to him over the internet hadn't finished paying the thing off before dumping it and abandoning his contract; had to twist the arm of my corporate account rep and get upset with some of the upper echelon of T-Mobile to be told that.
As you're finding out, carriers don't take kindly to people trying to alter the software on devices they don't own yet (I.E. are still paying for).
As such, carrier unlock and OEM unlock are two different things; temporary unlock and full unlock are different kinds of carrier unlock, and AFAIK OEM unlock won't be enabled in Developer Options unless you've performed a full carrier unlock (so color me surprised at your situation), which you won't be eligible for (and T-Mobile won't release) until the phone is paid off free-and-clear in their system, up to and including any past-due balances on accounts the device may have been a part of, as well as having to meet additional criteria you can check in their policy here.
If you are successful in this endeavor, keep in mind that T-Mobile will be within their rights to demand payment in-full for the remainder of the balance of the device the moment they realize it's been tampered with.
EDIT: I found this, may be helpful. In the first post they say someone came up with an MSM package that doesn't require SIM/carrier unlocking: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/convert-t-mobile-oneplus-9-to-global-or-other-firmware.4277169/

For Motorola phones, usually only unlocked version, t-mobile/metro, t-mobile MVNOs, boost mobile, us cellular and google fi versions are eligible for bootloader unlock. ATT, tracfone, ATT MVNOs, verizon and verizon MVNO versions are never eligible for bootloader unlock.
Visible version used to be fully unlocked version and eligible for bootloader unlock but after visible enforcing 60-day sim-lock policy, visible is shipping dedicated visible version or verizon version motorola phones and they are no longer eligible for bootloader unlock.

I have always been able to unlock T-Mobile/Metro this is my first time dealing with a Verizon bootloader. So basically there is no way to accomplish this.
T-Mobile/ Metro by T-Mobile are bootloader unlock eligible almost immediately, though I have heard of people running into trouble with it before successfully unlocking a few days or a week later. T-Mobile requires the phone to be paid for before SIM unlocking for use with another carrier, and Metro requires you to keep service for 6 months before they'll allow you to network unlock.

i have tmobile service so it worked out for me
maybe after unlock your bootloader you can reflash the same way for your service like
att, boost mobile, cricket, retus, tmobile or tracfone
again my phone is the xt-2131 version
also everytime you reflash something and have the option to go to the phone setting you have to oem unlock
and adb debuggin on so that you dont brick it
