Just wait until you can sim unlock while android 11 is your OS. It disables the unlock app which enables OEM unlocking.

Unlock Bootloader from WEB Respond Motorola -> "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking"
Some other way to unlock the bootloader or replace?
Thank you
The Vz isn't included in devices that can have its loader officially unlocked. You'll need to buy a different variant of the Moto E. Also this model has no known root exploits too, so you'll have to deal with that too.
I'm looking at picking up a SM-G965F/DS (FACTORY UNLOCKED) for use on the USA T-mobile network. The one I'm looking at is reportedly Region free (no region lock) and SIM unlocked. . So a couple of questions:
1 - Should I be fairly safe in my ability to bootloader unlock and mod this version of the phone as described above?
2 - To get the OEM unlock will I use my t-mobile SIM for 7 days to make OEM unlock available or will the date hack work:
How to fix the missing OEM Unlock button on the Samsung Galaxy S9/S8/Note 8
3 - I'm familiar with unlocking and installing on older devices such as the OnePlus One, and Nexus series of devices. Is the process for the S9+ fairly bulletproof like those devices? I mean, they were all pretty forgiving to a little "Oops" here and there. No one needs $700 brick.
Received the phone today. Cannot get OEM Unlock to show even using the above mentioned method. Anyone have any luck to share on the this model #?
Did you ever figure out how to get the oem unlock fixed. I just bought a Claro s8+ sm-g955f and no matter what I try the oem unlock remains missing in my developer options
There's a good black friday deal for this phone, but the Mint Mobile variant doesn't seem to really be mentioned here. What are the odds it can be unlocked like the TMobile version?
I'd imagine that the Mint variant of this phone is the same as the T-Mobile variant. If that's the case, the official way to unlock the bootloader requires SIM unlocking the device. However, Mint's unlock policy kinda sucks...
Customers must have had their locked device activated on Mint Mobile service for no fewer than 12 months...

However, you can also try running this ADB command to enable the OEM unlock option in Developer options without SIM unlocking the device (from this thread):
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.uim
If that works, you can just request an unlock code from OnePlus and get your bootloader unlocked. See the linked thread for details.
Yes I unlocked mine with fastboot oem commands
This is regarding unlocking bootloader on T-Mobile varient. There are two observations.
1) After device is SIM unlocked modification of the setting that was greyed out, 'OEM Unlocking' will be possible..2) Without device being SIM unlocked, modification of same setting is possible by performing the ADB command ("adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.uim")Surely the manufacturer wouldn't make SIM unlocking as easy as performing a simple ADB command. But if not, wouldn't that imply that it is, in fact, NOT necessary for device to be SIM Unlocked to Unlock bootloader? It Don't make any sense.
Has anyone tried to unlock bootloader on SIM Locked device and did it work? what happened?
I took my SIM Locked T-Mobile N200 that I never paid a single month for and that was blacklisted and account sent off to collections.
I did ADB command to enable OEM Unlocking. Went to FASTBOOT and acquired the unlocking key. I sent key to ONEplus via their T-Mobile Unlocking webpage. And Oneplus responded a week later with my unlock_code.bin file.. DEVICE UNLOCKED
So I guess this would imply that ability to modify the greyed out OEM unlocking is the only way to unlock bootloader and NOT that 'device must SIM Unlocked' as instructed in the unlocking process.. Device being SIM unlocked is simply just ONE method of allowing modification of that setting? Right??
If you use the adb command and send your IMEI through the device unlock portal on OnePlus.com, you can be bootloader unlocked without being sim unlocked.
It just seems too easy for a T-Mobile locked Contract phone to be unlocked, don't they check the Device against some sort of database or something before providing you the unlock_code.bin??

The unlock_code.bin file lets you bootloader unlock the phone. This does NOT SIM/network unlock your phone... Though with T-Mobile you're supposed to be SIM unlocked before you can bootloader unlock, we just figured out how to bypass that.
They just linked the SIM unlock to the same thing we've been using, is my guess. I'd be interested to know if I'm right, but at this point, it's moot.
SIM UNLOCKED (bought in September/2021)
It got sim-unlocked after 180day, by simply pressing "unlock permanently" without using Metro or T-Mobile sim ever. after 180day however the phone is seems out of time (outdated).
I'm planning to import a brand new Japan version of Pixel 6 from a shop. I was told that the phone is not locked to any specific carrier and can be used on any network. Since the phone is not carrier locked, is that mean the bootloader can also be unlocked? Is there any relation between locked carrier and locked bootloader? I wanna buy a phone which can have unlocked bootloader ... The shop people said they won't be able to check OEM Unlocking status.
Depending on the country you can be carrier locked without being bootloader locked. For example, in the US, T-Mobile I believe carrier locks the device but does not lock the bootloader. AT&T and Verizon however lock both and will not remove the bootloader lock.
I'm not aware of the Japanese P6 having a bootloader lock, but I am not an authority on it.
Reading the topic how to convert the Japanese version to Global, which requires Root, there is a very high probability that the bootloader can be unlocked.
Carrier unlocked has no relation to unlocked bootloader.
Cheers

I have a pixel 6 japanese version GB7N6, and i already unlocked bootloader, root and change region.

I am pretty sure unlocking bootloader on T-Mobile variants requires a SIM unlock first, this has been the case for my former OnePlus 9 Pro and I've heard the same for this phone.
Otherwise, the OEM unlock toggle is grayed out.

Thanks. I wasn't sure, and I think my post made that apparent, as I don't buy my devices from carriers.
