Does anyone have any ideas as to unlocking the ZTE Z993? I know they have unlocked bootloaders, Fastboot, There's even Root and Custom Recovery out there for this device... But I'm trying to determine a way to network unlock them... Perhaps through an engineering bootloader, flashable through fastboot?

Very simple indeed M1k3Carson. Visit ZTEUSA Scroll down and select your carrier and product type... proceed by email or live chat and simply ask for the SIM unlock code. Your not required to give an explanation as to why you want the code, but if you feel the need; lets say for overseas carrier use. If you need further help with your ZTE Prelude z993; I have successfully rooted and flashed CWM on mine. Just email me @Ryan.G[email protected], or if your able, contact me through this site. Hopefully some ROM's will become available for this phone soon.

my phone's network is unlocked and im using it in india, but really want to install some custom roms, from here, but will after installing those roms, my phone still be unlocked to be used in india???????????????
I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure your phone is unlocked forever if you entered the actual unlock code. (EDIT: Assuming you don't intentionally/explicitly relock to network--this is possible, no?)
There's also a root/hack unlock method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906255 which can apparently be reversed.
How did you unlock the phone to begin with?
i got it unlocked from the gray market.....
hi there,
like the title says im trying to flash a different / older/ stock ROM to see if i can unlock the bootloader and or if anyone knows a way i can root my device without the bootloader that would be great too but i think ive expended all my options..... if you can help in any way that would be great! thank you
also i have flashtool downloaded but can not get it to work with my device just keeps saying my bootloader can not be officially unlocked ..... can it be unofficially unlocked?
You have to use the Xperia M2 method to unlock the bootloader as there is still no official way.
There are more than enough guides in other topics where you can read how to unlock your bootloader. First enter the service menu(*"*"service"*"*) and check is it is allowed on your device. If it says 'no' there is no way to unlock. Also if you can unlock don't forget to tick the box in developer options
For root you can afaik just install twrp for locked bootloaders and flash a root (supersu for example)
thanks guys ,
yes i have looked into the tutorials and cannot seem to make it work.
i tried the m2 method and nothing either ..... my bootloader says it cannot be unlocked but ive been reading and apparently there is a way to get around it .... ive successfully flashed different ROMS to try and gain root access too but with no luck
so i guess im asking if anyone has had luck with unclocking there "locked" bootloader on an m4 or if it is even possible at all?
any help is greatly appreciated
I have a non-international phone so without code from Lg I cant unlock bootloader. Some guys are doing things. I could not understand difference.
are they trying to root a already unlocked phone or are they trying to unlock bootloader?

Steps for getting your device root
1. Unlock your bootloader
2. Flash .tot file suitable for your phone model. (Twrp Recovery is included)
3. Flash super su and a fix which will be available in the same thread.
Your device should be rooted .
Hope i helped

This is only helpful is they have the H850 or H830 model number. If they do not, then unfortunately there is no root available but we are doing EVERYTHING we can to get this to work.
mine is LG G5 850 TR so from I cant unlock bootloader so no chance to root.
I have LG G5 850 TR,too. Someone must give us unlock code!
I have a h960AY rooted via the tot method, so no bootloader unlocked.
The LG developer site doesn't give me an unlock option because my device is from a Telecom (Orange).
after attending an event for LG the VP operations for the RonLight said in front of 30 people that unlocking the bootloader will not damage warranty, so I feel fine doing it.
If I already have root, I should be able to write to any part of memory I want, no ?

Yes, having root access means one can write anywhere on the flash you want to. Alas, in order to unlock the bootloader you need to know where to write in the flash memory. Most likely somewhere in /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 (the "misc" area) is a bit that can be flipped to unlock the boot loader, but at this time we don't know which one and even this much is guessing.
At this point we either need LG to unlock the bootloader or else do some analysis/cracking of the bootloader to figure out how to unlock it. This is not simple, but if someone has the time/skills it should be possible. (or if an annoyed LG employee is up for releasing details anonymously)
Do they mean network unlocking or bootloader unlock? Has anyone been successful in unlocking their bootloader on this website?
I have this device and it's for cricket and it says not a supported device at the Motorola website. So tho I have the twrp I can't flash it until I unlock my bootloader which I pray someone can get around. That's what you guys do fingers crossed....but until there's a way to unlock my bootloader I have to look at the twrp and root images without being able to use them or root ....someone told me you can flash a different bootloader so I figured someone with the same Motorola G Power 2021 but different carrier can provide you their firmware and images for boot and so on. Plz help thanks again and Merry Xmas to all

You could always download the firmware from other moto builds and variants on the lolinet site. The problem is you will most likely brick your device attempting to flash, if you're even able to, or using RSA to trick it into recovering a build not designed for your phone. I'm not experienced with Cricket devices, but I'm assuming since they are based on ATT network that they are not eligible for bootloader unlocking. Though that's a huge guess on my part since that normally is up to the carrier and both ATT and Verizon find much of their purpose executing their right to do so to their hearts content.

That website talks about "network unlocking" as you call it. Not bootloader unlocking.
