So I'm playing around. I've tried th 6t unlock method and so Far I've managed to get the sim lock dialouge to not show. But no sim is reading. I need some one to give me a copy of modemst1 and 2.from a unlocked or international device to try.
BTW zeroing these does not wipe imei. So imei is stored somewhere else
I've had a lot of help from another user. And we both are in agreement the device is unlocked. Just not reading the sim. Most definitely a qcn issue now
As a further note if we cna figure this out we will have free unlock on device itself no waiting on others. No server
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1 of=/sdcard/
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2 of=/sdcard/
Should be all I need for now. If possible a set from t-mobile and a set from international device
oneplus nord n200 qcn file please.

Hello people I would like to open this post to share my experience with you to try to figure out how to sim unlock the pixel.
We all realized that it's impossibile to unlock it just changin rom or the modem or radio ecc... But still I'm pretty sure that is not an hardware lock.
I'm pretty sure that it's the IMEI the point, our lock. ( We are not thief, I'm just speaking as information, for example I need to stay two months in italy and I would like to be free, as most of the android's users. )
I realized that the menus from the diag menù in the telephone are locked. If you will try to digit some code they gonna be null.
So I tried to open my port to use " QPST "( a software for QUALCOMM chipset ) to make a backup of it.
To open the diag port I used this command on the terminal of my phone " su " and than "setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb".
After it I make the .qnc backup and I open it with an HEX editor to find my IMEI CODE. ( If you got lost google this procedure using QPST and an HEX editor to find you imei code and changing it ).
After getting my .qnc modified with my new IMEI CODE I just restore it into my phone. The software said that the restoring was complet but actually the IMEI still the same.
So I tried to just make NULL my IMEI in this way : ADB via computer digiting : "ADB SHELL" , " SU " , ls -al /dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name ".
Than you'll have a list. You need to find " modemst1 " " modemst2 " " fsg" .
Zeroing those digint the command : "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/sd" Putting at the end the last two lecters/number that you find at the end of the string " modemst1-2 and fsg " .
Than what I realized. Was working for the modems but not for the "fsg" . Accessed denied.
So my last think is that the chipset of the pixel is very protected and it's going to be very difficult to change the IMEI code and I ( I repeat the I THINK ) unlocking the sim lock it will not going to be possibile without changing this code.
Let me know please what do you think about,
Regards,
An old nexus lover and pixel user.
Changing an IMEI is illegal and not allowed to be discussed in these forums.
The pixel is never SIM locked. Meaning your phone is either stolen or has been blacklisted by your carrier and other carriers. Discussion of workarounds are not tolerated on this site.

Actually EE sells a sim-locked version.

I certainly understand if XDA does not allow discussions on changing the IMEI, however, are you sure it's illegal? I can't find a written law that states it is. I believe they tried to pass a law but I don't think if ever made it through committee. I agree, if this is being done for nefarious reasons then discussions should be banned. But if I own 2 devices and one is broken, what would be illegal to use the one from the broken device on my new device? For instance, I bought 2 Pixel phones, one Verizon and one from Google. I dropped the Google version and it's unusable. The Verizon Pixel is bootloader locked due to the IMEI. Why couldn't I change the IMEI so that I could unlock the VZW Pixel? Would I do it? No, not on a bet. But illegal, I'm not so sure.
Bootloader lock is not a SIM Lock. If it's for sure illegal to change an IMEI, I'm not sure. Either way, it's against the XDA terms due to the legality of it.

I figured it was against XDA rules.
Mate my phone is my one no problem I'm just speaking as information nothing else, just want to be free to know as every android user
And yes the pixel from EE carrier is sim locked and I would like to unlock it to use my own sim while i'm outside the U.K. to not spend bilions of pound with roaming data pack, that's my point.
By the way I realized one very important thing:
Modemst1 and modemst2 partition are readable and writable, but partiotion FSG is just readable that's why you cannot zero it or restore the .qnc file to change the code.
I realized that our EE pixel , or maybe every pixel , have the soc locked.
If you look at the same soc in some xiaomi they can zero the fsg partition because is writable aswell.
So my question is, anyone knows how to change permission of those partition?

Can you elaborate on this a bit more? What other steps are there, or is this all you needed to do and it popped up as a device?
I'm trying to get the Pixel diag port connected (for QPST/QXDM) and can't figure out how to turn it on. I tried the command above and nothing exciting happened. Typically, on other phones, it shows up in the device manager and I just have to manhandle the driver into place but the Pixel diag port isn't appearing for me still.

Mate,may I ask u how to open the diag port on pixel?It confused me for a while.
So after hours of trying to unlock this brick, I didn't succeed.
I've deleted modemst1 and modemst2, this rendered the device without imei, wifi and bluetooth. After creating the partitions all returned to normal, including sim lock, so the method from OnePlus 6T doesn't work with us.
And there's an app inside called com.oneplus.factorymode.qualcomm.ClearTelcelnetlock that just refuses to open.
If anyone managed to unlock it, please help me out.
Note: I can't unlock through Tmo since I'm not the original owner and I can't contact the previous one.
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.

The dump instructions you linked require root. Is there an updated guide that does not require root? I'm happy to try.
Could we use the info and resources here https://www.getdroidtips.com/stock-rom-samsung-sm-a326u-firmware/
to create an already rooted stock rom and flash it via odin?

It will not work, it will fail due to bad signatures.

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!
Hello! Sorry for a maybe duplicated thread, but being honest these posts haven't clarified my doubt.
Is there a way to unlock TMO carrier? im on Mexico and i have no access to TMO network, i don't know if this phone was totally paid, etc, etc, etc.
Unlock app says my phone doesn't meet the unlock requirements, but apparently my imei isn't blacklisted by carrier.
if there's a way to unlock, brick the modem partition or get a paid service, if there's also someone that haves a Oneplus 7 pro that doesn't uses anymore that can share with me the modem partitions, or haves a unlocked motherboard (logic or w/e) for selling (and ofc, haves intl sending), let me know!
i bricked the modemst1 modemst2 partitions and i got rid of the unlock advice, but i get no signal, also i dont lost the IMEI, and OEM Unlock can be applied without flashing DP3 first.
modemst partitions are apparently flashable via fastbootd, so im probably needing someone to donate me their modemst partitions from a unlocked variant or a TMO Unlocked. in advance, thank you! c:

Pretty much t mobile is your only hope. Maybe paid services Which you will not find or get any help on here.
These phones will frequently work with t-mobile resellers too, but no guarantee. You might consider mint mobile.

You can get bootloader unlock this way and then flash global to it with the msm tool in that link.
T mobile is a bit of a pain to get the unlock code, you have to get a number from the phone using adb and then submit a request on their website using the serial and that number... A week or so later they will send you a unlock code that can be used in adb and then the normal process to unlock after that.
