Hello,
I have a T Mobile version in Android 11 (The Gray one) with unlocked SIM (I actually use a sim from another operator). I tried to root it by switching to the international version, but I no longer had access to my SIM (No data, no network), so I did a rollback. I requested the unlock file from Oneplus, but it takes a long time.
Is there a root method without going through the file (Unlock_Token) or is there a Token generator that allows me to unlock without wait for a response from Oneplus?
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards.

Hi All,
Is the network unlock by flashing modem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2022296) same as sim unlock?
If not how one can unlock the phone having root and bootloader unlocked but not calling my carrier and asking for the code (I've still wait another 4 months to get code from them)? The phone is locked to French SFR.
At the time I've had Neus One, if my memory serves me right, at the time of rooting the phone it was sim unlocked as well.
Thanks in advance for any advise.
p.s. should this thread be placed in different sub-forum, please move it. Thanks.
There are 2 types of unlock:
1) Network unlock = Will allowed your phone the usage of other carriers services, then your own SFR (can use other networks sim cards)
2) Bootloader unlock = Will enable your phone of installing custom or other carriers ROM's
You can root your phone without any type of unlock = Root will enable your phone to install the recovery apps..& others apps (not ROM's)

How can I do network unlock without calling carrier (SFR) and without paying for the code? Can it be done via flashing modem or any other trick?
So far I'm on the binaries provided by SFR, original ICS and then upgraded through OTA to JB.
Thanks.

Where?
Accordingly to the Forum Rules I can't advertise any product or services. Google on line & there are plenty unlock services.
Which version of the phone do you have? The Verizon branded versions **are** SIM unlocked, though they don't work on ATT/TMobile in the US. Furthermore, they don't work with a foreign SIM in the US.
However, if you take the phone abroad and pop a foreign SIM in it, it will work. How do I know this? I'm sitting in Australia on Optus/Australia as we speak...
So, if you have the VZW version, no code is needed.

The law in France changed a few month ago, you just need to wait 3 month and sfr must give you the unlock code. Not 6 month anymore.
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
Sooo,
I bought a used vodafone moto g 1st gen naively expecting to have an easy sim-unlock available in the forums - maybe I haven't found it yet?
The online unlock code vendors I tried have refunded me saying they can't do my IMEI so I'm a bit stuck.
I flashed cyanogen hoping a new kernel would do the magic but I guess the simlock is in a different partition?
I see that a couple years ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2903823 some were considering how the sim unlock modified the utag partitions. Does anyone know of further progress, information or solutions to sim unlock a moto g?
Or has anyone found a vendor that has successfully provided a UK vodafone sim unlock code?
P.S. Will I need to revert to the stock rom and kernel to use a sim unlock code?
The official Vodafone UK unlock service should work: https://www.vodafone.co.uk/vodafone-uk/forms/unlock-code-request/
Thanks Professor Gibbins.
Unfortunately the Vodafone unlock process asks for the vodafone number that has been used with the phone. Perhaps it would work if I got a pay-as-you go SIM from them and then provided that number.
Fortunately I tried paying a third unlock code vendor - sim-unlock*.net - waited a couple days and they came through with a valid code. I had started with the cheapest ebay vendors, so maybe they just weren't legit?
In any case, if someone else is in similar circumstances, here's what I learned:
There doesn't seem to be any other solution for sim unlocking the moto G xt1032 than purchasing an unlock code from an online vendor or, in the case of you being the original owner, from the network you purchased the phone from
Having a couple online vendors say they cannot get you the code does not mean another cannot
Neither unlocking the bootloader, installing a different recovery (TWRP), nor flashing a Cyanogen ROM will help Sim unlock the phone
The code provided by the online vendor did not work when I had Cyanogen installed. Fortunately I had created a backup of the vodafone ROM (using TWRP) and restoring their android version/kernel allowed the code purchased online to sim unlock the phone
Finally, the SIM unlock done in the vodafone system was maintained after restoring my Cyanogen install. I hope this means the sim/network lock will not return. It might perhaps resurface if I did a system restore; hopefully then the same unlock code would work again?

Once the unlock is done via an UNLOCK CODE, or via hardware unlocking tools, then it is permanent, so you shouldn't need to worry about this at all, but that said, in case you experience SIM un-/lock issues, then reuse the code when trying to unlock the phone on an OEM-DISTRIBUTED ROM (stock ROM).
I have a S8+ which is network sim locked to 3 (Sweden). Is there a way to unlock it and still run stock rom? i prefer not running a custom rom.
i already tried unlocking using https://www.samsungsimunlock.com/ without success...
im getting the message :
SIM Network Unlock PIN
Even though the unlock code i ordered from the above page said its permanently unlocked

First, this is the correct message your phone should display and it should be unlocked by now.
However, there are a few things you could check:
1. Verify if the phone's IMEI is clean on websites like: http://imeipro.info
2. Remove any potential Region Lock (if your phone hasn't been used before, place a 5 min call with an accepted SIM card).
3. What message did you receive after inserting the code?

hi
i have a 7pro t mobile version. i was following a guide to unlock the bootloader and root the phone. until i downloaded oxygen updater and it says the phone cant get updates, had to stop. so. can the phone be unlock?
then I can continue with the guide on how to root it,
or my options are limited here ?
thanks
The SIM unlock aspect needs to be done with the T-Mobile unlock tool built into the stock firmware. Bootloader unlocking can be attained by Flashing international firmware via MSM-- then unlocking as if it were international. However, that will result in the SIM still being restricted to T-Mobile if it has not been SIM-unlocked
Edit: Bootloader can also be unlocked with the T-Mobile software installed, a request can be submitted through 1+ to have a file emailed to you, containing an unlock file to be used while on carrier firmware, called an Unlock Token. However, this process will take a week for 1+ to review, and approve if applicable.
