so i bought this nord n10 from ebay and apparently when i got to the settings to try rooting it, the oem unlocking is greyed out. any solutions? i tried to find online but there wasnt really any so, i need to keep looking in these forums. someone said a solution about sim card unlocking or something
edit: shouldve mentioned this, its a t-mobile phone
also im very new to this
OnePlus Nord pure debloat follow guid it will enable oem unlocking. If it's a carrier locked phone you will have to get a oem unlock token via oneplus
if its a metro phone you wont be able to get a unlock token via oneplus they dont have the imei in there data base and are clueless how to do it
Fastboot oem get unlock data
Send the string of numbers to oneplus
Along with the IMEI number
after talking with oneplus they say they do not support MertoPCS N10 5G via unlock page and i have to ask MetroPCS for unlock token MetroPCS says its oneplus that has to supply the unlock token there has been a few user that are getting the same runaround one even filed a complaint with the FCC over it

I was the one who contacted fcc they contacted OnePlus on my behalf haven't heard anything yet. I don't know why it's such an issue for them I've heard people say they have metro n200 unlocked from the page
I don't know either but I will not be buying a OnePlus again
You can try oem brute force fastboot script it's actually for Huawei devices but Iv used it on other devices

I have unlocked the bootloader of metropcs Nord N200 successfully. The metropcs N200 has the same model number as T-Mobile version while the metropcs nord N10 has a different model number from t-mobile N10.

Could be why I don't know if model number has anything to do with imei generation though

Was the n200 a 64 character key too

Yes.
Clearly oneplus only added the imeis of t-mobile model number to the bootloader unlock data base.
For N200, metropcs version has the same model number so we can unlock the bootloader of metropcs n200.
The N10 can be flashed with the international rom via msm tool and the bootloader can be unlocked that way

Just wait until you can unlock your phone via the unlocker app.
I literally just unlocked everything a few minutes ago without messing with my phone.

You have no idea about what bootloader unlock actually is.
Your bootloader is still locked unless you get the unlock token from oneplus and flash it in fastboot.

My guy, I've been doing this since 2008.
My phone actually booted the dynamic system image and hit a DMverity wall. Previously, my phone wouldn't even attempt to install the DSU because because of the bootloader being locked.
bruh i tried looking up rooting beginner's guide and it was stilll complicated so is the other beginner's guide online, i really don't know what to do when im stuck, no tutorials on youtube to root the N10 5G...

Hi guys,
I just need some general direction here.
I recently purchased a locked Sprint S9 Plus and I had successfully flashed the firmware to the unlocked version of the phone (Model number showing SM-G965U1 )
I had plugged in the sim card to the new phone, only to receive a message that says "Invalid Sim card." I also checked the system apps and it looks like there are some Sprint apps still on the phone. Any ideas?

You got confused about what "unlocked" means in various contexts. It's easy to do. The U1 firmware is for devices that are sold as "factory unlocked" from Samsung, Best Buy, and Amazon. But what that really means is "unbranded and unlocked". By flashing U1 firmware on a Sprint (SIM locked) device, you now have an unbranded device, but flashing U1 firmware cannot SIM unlock it. Those are different things. You still need a proper SIM unlock, regardless of what firmware happens to be running on it.

Wow, and after 2 weeks of research - I thought I had it all together.
I've looked up a few options to SIM unlock the phone. They seem to be:
1) root the phone, then sim unlock it (is this possible?)
2) get a sim unlock code (any recommedations?)
OR
3) get a new unlocked or carrier-specific phone
Anyone have inputs for options 1 or 2?

Can't discuss such things on XDA. Your carrier should unlock for you once you've met their requirements.

Unfortunately my family was going through a carrier switch where I purchased the phone before they changed their minds to go with Verizon. Now I'm stuck with a Sprint phone while my family went with Verizon.
I would gladly guidance from anyone, through PM or through this post, and is MUCH appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Ok I have a TMobile OnePlus Nord n10 5g I got it temporarily network unlocked and got the bootloader unlock token from OnePlus while it was unlocked (that might be something to try hint hint lol). So now I have the bootloader unlocked and its running the international rom. Is there anyway to go in through adb or fastboot and permanently network unlock it? Thanks in advance everyone.

Have the same phone with same variant (TMobile) and also need to have my network unlocked. For me I'm in Africa and so without unlocking the phone I would never be able to use it. The phone, which I purchased from Ebay, wasn't eligible for any unlocking from Tmobile. Both Temporal and Permanent Unlocking didn't work for me. I researched right here on XDA and found out that deleting modemst1 and modemst2 files off the EFS partition of the phone would trigger a network unlock - Full and Permanent. Well, I did it and for me that doesn't seem to be the case - phone is still locked. Only thing I noticed is that now there is no screen notification saying that the network is locked... and to use app or settings to unlock.
Ever got your permanently unlocked by some means?
I'm just about to return my Samsung A52 5G after realizing that the bootloader seemingly can't be unlocked. I did a quick google and thought it was possible, but apparently the North American version is locked.
Now I'm looking at this phone as my next option. Can anyone confirm if the OEM Unlock button appears in the Canadian version of this phone? I'm buying from the OnePlus website, and it says that it is carrier-unlocked (not T-Mobile).
I'm not even planning to root the device or do anything advanced, but I want to have the option to install Lineage later on once I stop receiving OTA updates, assuming that the Lineage devs make a build for this phone.

I'm having the same issue. T-mobile US and the OEM Unlock button is gone

I believe there's a method to unlock the T-Mobile US version. I asked OnePlus's support, and there was a separate set of instructions for T-Mobile, so they might be able to help you.
I ended up buying the carrier-unlocked phone in Canada, and everything worked out; the OEM Unlock button wasn't blocked or anything. You just need the fastboot and adb drivers for the device, as usual.
There's a way to get oem ungreyed,read aroud
Even OEM and SIM unlock are separate, you have to have SIM unlock first before enabling OEM unlock.
Units sold directly from OnePlus.com is SIM unlocked.
Usually it will automatically unlock after 180 days, but I am wondering if it can be done faster?
what exactly are you trying to unlock? the SIM unlock i think has to be requested through the carrier or possibly a business that specifically does those but i cant recommend any or the use of those services. bootloader unlock on the tmobile variant(which should be the exact same device, the tmobile variant has the metro apps installed but disabled" was already available in the first security patch...... but i ran the Nord debloat script from another oneplus thread before ever attempting the bootloader unlock the first time so i cant verify whether thats even needed to get the oem unlock option available or not. maybe someone else can comment on that
my device is MetroPCS, hasn't been 180 days and anyone should be able to unlock the bootloader on these carrier devices. and as stated above, sim unlock and bootloader unlock are two different things. you will not be able to force a sim unlock, and the bootloader unlock will not expedite the process either.
pay off your device or search the forums for someone who might just be able to help you, if you fall within their guidelines.

Did you check this thread?
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Yes I can turn it on from developer options
Did you ever get this figured out? Learn anything new about the SIM unlocking for this phone on T-Mobile?
I have a device stuck telling me I need to be on the network for 40 days, but it's been a whole lot longer than that. Very strange.
