Hello i want to ask if there is any guide how to unlock this phone to all GSM networks. I am O2 and want to buy phone from T-mobile from my friend, but T-mobile lock their phones. I was searching for some guide,but i found just bootloader unlocking and i dont know if it is the same because i dont understand these things much.
Maybe here is a thread about this, i dont know. If yes, just give me a link and this thread can be deleted in order to dont spam forum.
You can't do it without getting an unlock code from T-Mobile.

Well there is a generator, but you can't have it Actually carriers often unlock devices for a fee.

Hi, There is no guide but you can instructions on unlocking a phone, there are a lot of methods available so for. I always suggest, for the unlocking, contacting our telecom service provider is the one of the ways to get the unlocking code or contacting service provider like theunlockspot.com might be an another way to get an unlocking code. The direct unlocking codes can be received in those two ways I mentioned. Thanks.
Hi everyone,
i purchased a white S6 EDGE from Rogers. My question is, is it possible to sim unlock it for free? I saw threads about older samsung devices and methods to unlock them but im wondering if they will work with the S6.
I'm talking about a factory sim unlock and not rooting the device. Would flashing the firmware from another carrier make it work on their network?

As of now there is no "free" unlock. Flashing another firmware will not unlock the phone as the bl/modem partition will fail to flash. Furthermore, the unlock/provisioning info is stored in the EFS partition which is not modified in a firmware flash. Easiest way to unlock is to purchase an unlock code online and use a sim from another carrier to trigger the unlock prompt where you can enter the code.
I personally used SwiftUnlocks and the code worked flawlessly.

I'm with TELUS. And, yes, it's perfectly safe. Just a code they send you within 24 hours of your purchase. I have a Bell sim for work and am now able to use both with my phone with no problems.

swiftunlocks.com is at $15 if you're trying to save money. Select the "Unlock Samsung Canada" option. That's the one I used and it worked perfectly.

Have you already tested your EDGE to confirm that it's actually locked?
I purchase 3 S6 EDGE's from Rogers and all came unlocked. Tested with Bell and Telus SIM Cards.
I actually didn't receive it yet so I was being proactive. I had purchased a nexus phone from rogers in the past that came unlocked. Let's home my s6 edge is too.

I was wondering, how long did it take you to get your phones from Rogers? Looking at their forums it looks like there is a shortage of S6 and Edge phones. Some people claim to have waited over a month already and are nowhere near the top of the waiting list. Sounds like i might get my phone in 2016 at this rate..
I got the 1st one on release day. The 2nd took 10 days and my 3rd one came one day after ordering it.

Cellunlocker.net ftw!! Have been using them for years, great rapid cheap service, never had any issues and I even got my last code for free because i filmed the unlocking process and posted on youtube. Contact their customer service, they might reduce the price if you film

As the title says, I have t-mo branded phone, will the SIM lock disappear after flashing firmware from unlocked phone? I don't think it will, but maybe? Also, how would you unlock such a phone then? Anybody knows?

Sim lock has nothing to do with the firmware
if you flash the unlocked firmware on the t mobile device, the actually t mobile unlock app will not be on the phone. however the phone will still be sim locked to t mobile. If you plan on unlocking it soon, stay on the t mobile firmware so you have the access to the unlock app in the t mobile folder. after you unlock it through t mobile, restart the phone and the app will go away. I'm not sure if you can unlock the phone under the unlocked firmware without that mobile unlock app.

It seems my Note 8 is not eligible for unlock. I purchased it on Ebay. Is there any other way to bypass T-Mo-s unlock app?

Try contacting cellunlocker, see if he can do it via a unlock code as per what the other person mentioned here.

You'll just have to find a way to get it to prompt if that is even possible. I tried a different sim and it give you a messaging saying you have to use the unlock app.
Have you made any progress?
I'm in the same boat.

Just an idea, perhaps flashing a different version would then allow one to get the prompt?

Part of me feels like that would be too easy of a solution. Not to mention I finally got mine unlocked via the app but through all the trials and tribulations with TMobile they did the traditional unlock code request. The email came back looking like others I have seen in the past except where it said "Unlock Code" it said to use the Unlock App on the device..
We are are still left with needing a code from TMobile.
So im in a similar situation. I've got a Tmobile Note 8 which i'm using on ATT. I got a tmobile sim from a friend and had tmobile temporarily unlock it for 30 days. I hope by flashing this firmware (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-sm-n950u-u1-t3685884) for ATT, i can get it permanently unlocked.
OR
If the Device Unlock app is frozen or unisntalled (via root), i wonder if it can still relock the phone.?
Did anyone figure out a solution to this problem (bought T mobile Note 8 on eBay and cannot unlock it!). Worst case, can I open a new T Mobile account for $70 per month and then cancel it after 40 days and THEN unlock the phone?

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

ATT website request unlock free
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.

Hi all,
I have been looking for over 6 months for a way to unlock the bootloader on my UK Huawei Mate 20 Pro. I can not find any way which looks to work and doesnt involve going to a dodgy looking website. Has any one found a verified way to unlock the bootloader recently?
Thanks

You can no longer unlock bootloader as Huawei stopped releasing codes, some may post sites where they get code from, I personally wouldn't use any site or trust any site as how they can generate a code if official source has stopped.
The sites are legit actually.
