Hey guys, I bought a G2 Mini for a cheap price (under $100), but it's locked for Vodafone, and I'm on T-Mobile. It wouldn't be a problem, as I can unlock it on eBay for $3 or so, but it still has more than a year of warranty, and I don't want to lose it.
My question is: is there any method to carrier unlock this device, with a gadget like Turbo SIM (which doesn't work with recent Android versions as I read) or something, so I won't lose my warranty? Or I can only hope that they won't recognize the unlock at LG Service Center, if I have any kind of problem? I've got an Optimus L9 which had some issues, it has unlocked bootloader but they replaced its motherboard without a question, I know it's not the same, but you know.. it's still possible. I appreciate any kind of help, thanks!

I have an Lg Optimus L9 P769 from MetroPcs; I want to switch to a different carrier,
but my phone is service provider locked. I called metropcs customer service to get the
unlock code, but I don't have service on my phone, so they won't give it to me. I read a
few threads that talked about this problem, and most said to buy a code from ebay; the
codes are cheap (around $2 USD), but I currently have $0 and don't get payed for two
weeks. So, is there any way I could unlock my phone without paying? Maybe through flashing it?
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT:
Would it be possible to call LG and get the unlock code?
I am having the same problem, did you managed to unlock the sim card?
Thought it would be easier to unlock it, but seems all web pages charge for this service..
My phone is the LG L9 P768G

I recently bought this amazing phone on ebay(H901), and I'm trying to sim unlock it, the phone is not blacklisted, or financed, but It cannot be unlocked since its not in T-mobile database(even when it is branded tmobile phone with all the tmobile bloated apps), since T-mobile or LG cannot unlock it I was looking for a Root-unlocking solution for this since I dont want to start the process of returning the phone at this time of the year and I already paid for my country customs fees to get the phone here.
Is there any way to sim unlock the LG h901 using root mods? may rooting and deleting t-mobile unlock device app do the job?
Thanks, I will appreciate your answers
Do you have some Solution??

No I haven't find a solution to it, I'm currently living in Japan, and I'm using this piece of art as a media player only because I can't get it unlocked online nor a tmobile sim card to use it.
I remember it took hard to bring up a tool to unlock the bootloader of the LG G3, but at this time you guys got a lot more experience. I bought this phone on Amazon, and they was sending me this. I might can return this phone as well if there is nothing available, what are the difference between the H850 and the H850K anyway ? I know it is associated with some phone company in Australia, which is why it is locked. Since I have nothing to do with the I would be glad on a solution here.
Hello, I buy a lg V10 H901 on ebay I use it for several months without any worries I live in France so I used the temporary unlocking of the application "device unlock" but since yesterday impossible to use it the temporary unlocking no longer works and thus the phone and block I am therefore not t-mobile client is there a software way to unlock it?
??
No solution for unlocking ?
No there is no known method other than using the app. You may be able to purchase an unlock and seller would submit your imei for processing on Tmobile server I would assume.

Have you tired googling it? From what i know once its paid off fully you can request a sim unlock from tmobile.
a lot of site offers deblocking but are they reliable? I can not pay on t-mobile because I live in France and buy on ebay HK

Yeah I mean usually those services are pretty cheap like 30 or lower to remote unlock the phone. Worth a shot just look for reviews of those sites first too.
Hello guys.
I bought an LG G8X with a broken screen and back for $ 40. I repaired it by myself. It turned out to be FRP locked, but I solved this problem.
The second problem is the simlock on this phone. It is currently locked to AT&T USA network. I tried unlocking it on the official AT&T website, but without luck. They told me that "The device you want to unlock is active on another AT&T account".
What should i do?
I was thinking about buying unlocking code on one of the websites dealing with this. Is it good idea? Do you know which website is good with such case?
Thank you in advance for helping me

Good day guys, just to let you know that in Movical they were able to unlock the G8X from At&t, mine has financed status but with clean IMEI and when I tried on EBAY and other unlocking sites they told me that the code was not found in their database but at last in Movical they were able to do it, they use the remote method to unlock it

Perhaps after a hard reset or firmware, the sim lock will return, but I will not say for sure.
