I bought a Fold 2 for parts. I had another Fold2 not working so I managed to get one working but it's carrier locked. T Mobile refuse to unlock it without the owner's account. What are my options? Are unlock services guaranteed to work?
I just used the unlocking company to unlock my ATT Simlocked fold 2. Initial cost was 35, then after about 12 hours they got back to me and said that i'd need to pay another 35. I paid the additional 35 and within minutes they emailed me my network unlock code. 10/10, will use again if needed.

Hey guys my friend is about to buy droid 2 global ( i own galaxy s2) so I am familiar with rooting and stuff.
Now the question when i saw the droid it had to go thru activation from VERIZON.
If i buy unlock code i should be somehow able to first activate then somehow enter the code and unlock.
would rooting be recommended first to avoid activation? or how do i proceed. Thank you guys
You don't have to activate to unlock the gsm radio. Go buy unlock code online from somebody of the vendors. If you are lucky, code will work and you will be able to unlock the phone. If you aren't lucky, code will not work since Verizon alters codes of some handsets. In this case do not waste your money to purchase code elsewhere. You will need to get the phone activated with verizon on an account that's postpaid and been in good standing for at least 60 days. Then the owner of the account can call Verizon Global Support and request unlock code.
As for bypassing the activation screen, simply tap in all four corners of the sceen. Put foreign SIM in the phone (any non-Verizon/Vodaphone would do) this will trigger the subsidy code request mode where you punch in the 8 digit unlock code. You can read a bit more on unlocking D2G if you search around a bit.
Good luck!

Hi,
Just picked up a locked O2-UK version on Pay and Go as it was £50 cheaper than everywhere else.
Does anyone have a reliable service to get the unlock code from?
I have an [x] Network - 5 on my SIM Lock menu which I believe means it is unlock able via code.
Thanks.
Not sure if you will be able to as I believe for O2 to unlock PAYG phones they have to be 1year old but if you know in contract with O2 it's free to unlock them it may be worth trying but like I say as you bought a PAYG phone you may not be able to do that. I have had success with eBay before for unlock codes and their usually the cheapest plus with PayPal you can get your money back if it don't work. Just don't try to guess the unlock codes because after so many invalid codes it will permanently sim lock the device
I've used https://www.unlockbase.com/unlock-phone/ a few times in the past under similar circumstances without issue.
hi Lg stylo H 631 t-mobile
ihave code for unlock network but when inter 2945#*631# show nothing
try device unlock for t-mobile to unlock till me is faild
how how can enter code to unlock ??
i have to code NCK & SPCK
You should have an app to request a carrier unlock. If the T-Mobile and the MetroPCS devices are essentially the same I don't see why this would not be the case. My MetroPCS LG G Stylo has the app on the home screen in the folder which contains all of my MetroPCS apps. I've actually been fighting with support about getting mine unlocked prior to the 90 day policy for use when I am in Germany.
I have problems unlocki ng my phone i bought someone off craigslist with a lock. On it cani get some help to google unlock this acct so i can activate my phone
Good luck trying to unlock the Style H631 with T-Mobile. They are a bunch of lying manipulating thieves. My mother bought the phone from T-Mobile 2 years ago, she was paying $65.00 a month ($15.00 included for phone payment). I told her to go with H2O, Cricket or AT&T, which have he best reception where we live. I told her to unlocked network her Stylo, we tried by codes by purchasing from online unlock companies, didn't work. I told her to contact T-Mobile and asked for an unlocked code since she was with them for 2 years and never miss a payment. They told her that she needed to pay the remainder of the phone in order for them to give them an unlock code. She did, it was around $120.00. At the time, they gave her a receipt and gave her a number to call. She called and told her that it can't be done because she already unlocked 2 phones in one year, and they only unlock one phone per year. It doesn't make sense, it was her first time unlocking a phone with T-Mobile, she then replied to them, if you can only unlock one phone per year, then how come it shows 2 phone in one year?
If you are with T-Mobile, you are simply out of luck, and the app to unlock is just an app that will display "device can't be unlock" or something along those lines. Best of luck.
Hi guys is there anyway or anywhere I can go online that will help me unlock my EE network locked pixel .Many Thanks
Pixels on EE in the UK automatically unlock on day 721 after it's 1st used on the network whether PAYG or contract. I brought one from Cex yesterday that was locked to EE and was hoping it'd be auto unlocked to use a Three sim and it was. They do the same for iphones as well but those unlock at 18 months and you can txt a number to tell you if it's unlocked or not as well (pixel you can't txt). You can however pay EE themselves £8.99 to unlock it whether in contract or PAYG if you haven't reached those milestones. You can find more info about this here - https://ee.co.uk/help/help-new/gett...nlock-a-ee-device-to-use-with-another-network
If you meant unlocking the bootloader, that's easy too using the method here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/how-to-unlock-bootloader-verizon-pixel-t3796030
Hi everyone,
I recently just get my new google pixel 3a from amazon,
but it seems like they send me the Verizon version of it.
The version of the phone is android 10 and I am trying to unlocked OEM under developer options in order to root my device,
but it's likely seems like there is no way that I can unlock the OEM...?
So I was wondering if anyone know the way of unlocking it or maybe there is a way that I can root without Unlocking the OEM.
Thank you!!

Verizon is notorious for locking down their equipment!!! I would recommend seeing if you can return it and get the unlocked variant!

Just a heads up if anyone happens to find this after grabbing the $200 3a from Verizon: they claim they will unlock your phone after 60 days, something on their site I confirmed with a rep. I'll update January 24 if it does or doesn't happen as I plan to root then (for me, a $200 discount was worth a two month delay).

Just so you are aware, the rep is talking about the SIM card lock. This is different than the bootloader unlock which is required to root your phone.
A SIM card unlock allows you to use the phone with other service providers. Most providers will lock the phone as long as you owe money on the phone. If you bought it outright or have paid the phone off, then the provider will generally SIM unlock the phone. Verizon won't even SIM card unlock the phone until it has been active for 60 days. They say this is to prevent pre-sale theft of their phones, but the policy is certainly more strict than any other provider. However do not misinterpret this to mean that Verizon will SIM unlock all phones after 60 days. If you owe money on the phone, they are not obligated to SIM card unlock it. It is possible sometimes to get the provider to SIM unlock the phone while you still owe money on the phone, but that can be hit and miss.
A bootloader unlock is needed to root the phone. Verizon is the one USA service provider that locks the bootloader of all their devices by policy. Even if a Verizon phone is SIM card unlocked, there is no guarantee that you will be able to bootloader unlock the phone or root it. Generally speaking, you should consider every Verizon phone to be bootloader locked and considering it "winning the lottery" if you are actually able to bootloader unlock it. There are times when Verizon messes up the IMEI numbers and allow phones to be unlocked, but that this just luck if it happens.
I've owned Verizon phones before that were bootloader locked and I will never buy another one. But that is my personal preference. If you have no interest in rooting your phone, then the bootloader isn't that important of an issue. But if you do want to root the phone (and it sound like you do), I would recommend that you see about returning the phone during the return period and purchasing the "Unlocked" version (the "NON-Verizon version).
Sic is correct. Verizon will only SIM unlock the phones. That was the main reason I left them back when I had to use rumrunner on my M7. Once it died and I had to get another phone, I left Verizon and never looked back. When they asked why I was leaving, I told them I might return if they ever let us unlock our bootloaders. The employee knew there was no saving me at that point.
If you want to have an unlocked bootloader, the best bet would be to have a non-carrier branded phone.
